Being Honest

So right now we are waiting to hear back from the YMCA on gym membership. My husband is in school and the Y has an awesome program to help those in need get a membership.

So since working out at a gym is on the back burner for me, I decided I'd stop making excuses and start choosing healthy foods. I'm not good at holding myself accountable when it comes to food. I've made food into something it should not be... an emotional comfort and something to look forward to. Just for fun lets look at what my 'normal' day of food is like...

Breakfast
  Coffee (the kind with good ole' syrup, milk in it and whipped cream on top of course)
  Butter Croissant
Lunch
  Sandwich or frozen burrito
Afternoon Snack
  Chocolate chips (probably two handfuls)
Dinner
  Pizza (we have this at least once a week)
Dessert
  Strawberry sorbet

Yikes, eh! Some days aren't this bad but I wanted to give you an example of how my 'bad' days are. So to hold myself more accountable I decided I'd post pictures of what I ate today. (the calorie totals came from the Calorie Count website)...

Breakfast
  No coffee people, just plain ole' water! Still went for something 'sugary' but it's still progress. 160 calories...

Lunch

A salad with a red wine olive oil vinaigrette dressing, carrots and cashews. 372 Calories...

 

 

For a minute I have flashbacks as to why I always give up till after baby is a year! My milk output today is at least an 1.5oz less. Normally this bottle is full to the very tippy top. But instead of 'quitting' I'm just going to alter what I eat for breakfast tomorrow, maybe have toast and oatmeal.

Snack 
  LaraBar (ingredients for those curious are dates, peanuts and seasalt). 220 calories...

Dinner
  Homemade Chicken Pot Pie (super nummy and not very low fat but it at least has lots of organic veggies) I  will post a picture after dinner :O) 484 calories

I will update you all when I get word from the Y. I will be posting my measurements and 1st goal in that post as well. Till then!
