Alright. Food Plan for the week.

So I have made a food menu for the week. I realized last week that if I don’t plan my meals I slip up. Not doing that this time, so I looked up some healthy recipes and made a list of what I will be eating this week. This is for some of the meals I will be eating this week. I always make my own breakfast and lunch, but dinner is usually coordinated with my mom, so I will be updating you guys on that. She is pretty healthy, so I need to concentrate on the food I eat on my own. 

List of food items I will need for all the recipes this week:

  • scallions
  • potatoes
  • tomatoes
  • cilantro
  • limes
  • lettuce
  • oranges
  • apples
  • chicken breast
  • fish
  • turkey deli slices
  • whole wheat tortillas (for wraps)
  • eggs
  • Frank’s red hot sauce
  • light ranch
  • Krave cereal
  • Skim milk chug (to keep at work)

Let’s see how this goes. Some of the things on this list I have at home already, but the rest I am buying. If I don’t make my own lunch, I usually buy it, so let’s see if this saves me money.. I typically spend about $4-5 bucks on breakfast, including coffee and about $7-8 on lunch. I also sometimes buy snacks which can cost anywhere from $2-4.That can be anywhere from $55-80 a week on food. Let’s see how it goes. 

EDIT….

So I bought a bunch of stuff for my lunch and breakfast, but I also bought some fish for dinner. 

TOTAL COST: $30.27

That means I am going to save money and eat healthier this whole week!!

Getting Thin for Me

Ok, so I weigh 165 and I want to lose weight. I would ideally like to lose 30 lbs and weight 135. I am 5’4”, and that is in the healthy range. There is a history of heart disease and all sorts of other diseases that I would like to avoid, if possible, by living a healthier lifestyle. 

GOAL 1: My first goal is going to be to lose 10 pounds in 1 month. That means that by May 9th, I should be down to 155. I think that is an attainable goal.

GOAL 2: Weigh no more than 150 on the day of my graduation. I graduate June 10th and I want to feel better. I am making this a 5 lb goal because I anticipate a lot of stress, work, and time being spent on getting everything in order during my last month of school. No objections if I fall below, though.

GOAL 3: Hit my goal weight 135 by the end of the summer. I work outdoors in the summertime, and as long as I can watch what I eat and not drink so much, I think I can reach my goal. I honestly would love to weigh 135, but if I make it to 140, I will be happy. 

GOAL 4: Keep the weight off.

OK SO.. basically, I have an immediate 30 day goal of losing 10 lbs. And that is what I will be working on starting today. 

Phase 1: Getting rid of the problems:

  • chips
  • soda
  • fried foods
  • baked goods
  • candy
  • JUNK


I will post my progress and keep track of the foods and exercise I do to reach my goal. Can’t wait!

Still at it

Ok.. So I am going to admit that I forgot a little bit about my goals. Nonetheless, I have to say I was able to accomplish a few things that I am proud of thus far. I did awesome in school (3 A’s, 1 B+) and I took this summer by the balls- I read a lot, saw a bunch of movies, juiced my Netflix account, I partied just enough and I made some cool new friends. The weight-loss: no bueno, but I am working on it. The bf: also no bueno,  but I am actually ok with it. :]

Also, a few things have changed. I will now be going to school for one more year. I could have graduated with one major this november, but instead I will be getting a double-major!! I feel like it is the best choice for me right now.

Anyway, I will leave you guys with one piece of advice- Watch “Louie”. It is streaming on Netflix. It’s hilarious and deep in a dark and cynical way.  

Kbye.
