Day 5

Sorry I have been M.I.A.! I have been traveling and I am finally back at school. I have some exciting news! Not only did I meet my 3 pound goal, but I actually lost 4 lbs this week! I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but creating small weekly goals will eventually lead to nice large ones! I didn't even exercise like I wanted to this past week. So I have lost a total of 15lbs! I am not going to write down all of my journals from the past three days, but I do want to share some helpful hints about eating out, on the road, and fast food.

You CAN eat out and eat fast food, but you have to be smart, and you really need to understand portions. Over the years, the American plate has gotten bigger and bigger, and so has the food, in return this directly reflects how fat our asses really are! If you use a smaller plate, or have the kitchen box half of your food before you eat, you will save so many calories.

This week I went to McDonald's on my drive back to school ( almost 4 hours). I ate a hamburger (no cheese) a snack size fruit and yogurt parfait and had a small water. I spent $2 and only ate about 400 calories. If at all possible stay away from breads, cheese, and fatty condiments like mayonaise. Jimmy Johns is another spot that I hit up this week. I love their Beach Club. Turkey, avacado, sprouts, etc...and the best part is that you can get on a lettuce wrap, which I love! It may sound not-so-good, but the crunchy lettuce gives me a oral orgasm, and it elimates a lot of carbs and calories from the white bread. The point? "Beach Club Un-which"= >200 Can't beat that for a lunch!

Well I have to get some sleep so I can get up and work out!

Keep shedding the pounds! Your fellow fatty!
