Tumblr Accountability: 2012: Day Fifty-Two

Breakfast:

  • Oatmeal w/ soy milk and jam (and a dash of sugar-free chocolate Torani syrup)
  • Coffee w/ soy

Snack:

  • Rest of my coffee w/ soy

Lunch: 

  • Leftover pasta from last night w/ 1 serving of extra firm tofu (super reasonable/responsible portion of pasta, too. you guise I’m learning portion control)

Snack:

  • A bunch of grape tomatoes 
  • Lara Bar (Cinnamon Roll)
  • Lentil Mushroom Soup (about 1.5 cups - I should do a nutrition breakdown on it the next time I make it - it’s basically fat free and probably low-calorie, too)
  • An orange

Through the day:

  • WATER. Like a champ.

Dinner:

  • From New Seasons because of reasons:
  • Thai wrap (tortilla, vegetables, seitan, and peanut sauce - and quite small)

Dessert:

  • Also from New Seasons by way of Sweetpea Bakery:
  • Vegan, wheat-free brownie

Exercise:  Commute walking.

Grade for Today: I’ll say B+ …. I ate a lot of mini meals today, but I could have planned the dinnertime business a bit better. Don’t feel bad about the exercise lack since it was a rest day. I just feel sort of bad for eating more than one pre-packaged thing. Which is funny because I used to almost exclusively eat packaged food all day every day.

What I did well today:

1) I made pretty good decisions for having Grocery Store Dinner (way worse vegan desserts I could have had, and there was a salad bar I could have gone nuts on)

2) Comment of the Day on Jezebel preaching healthy weight loss and emotional states at the same time: http://jezebel.com/5887126/comment-of-the-day-the-real-equation-for-surefire-weight+loss

3) I fit into a jacket I thought I’d never fit into when I first bought it. Seriously, you guys, I couldn’t even get my arms into it.

4) I got all of my running stuff together so’s I can do two miles before work tomorrow morning.

Running and laughing at NBC comedies and occasionally becoming explosively angry about the Religious Right.

Just two years ago I weighed 295 pounds and didn't think I had anything to live for. Now I'm the happiest I've ever been.
