DERAILING, therefore Extension

So the last week or week and a half i totally fell off the healthy eating wagon, and disregarded my "diet".

In order to rectify this, I'm extending it for a couple weeks, and hopefully it works out. Time to go hardcore and stick to it again!

i was DERAILED by good food. -____- *sighhh*

but i also had a craving for something crunchy so i went and got a bag of "dirty's sea salt chips".

Got home around 7, and made some kimchi rice noodle soup for din din.

then it got kinda bad: was feeling a little bleh, so i gave in and had a little scoop of ice cream and opened my bag of Munchies. So bad to snack while watching a show, because i ended up eating like half the bag, when all i wanted was like a handful. oh wells.

today not so bueno, too many carbs and bad things!

Gave myself a little sweet treat and got a little lemon square (like 160 calories) with my free iced coffee from Starbucks!

then off to work. mmm wheat thins.

I'm always hungry after work. Probably not the best choice of food, but i had 3 chicken wings and some noodle rolls with siracha and hoisin sauce. so good, but so bad, especially at 10pm.

then i had a handful of original wheat thins in the afternoon.

Was off to the Runway 2011 fashion show, so i made a ham sandwich to go. ate half of it.

After the show, Kathy, Grace, and I had a late dinner at PPQ. got the 5 Spice Chicken Noodle Soup. (prob not good to eat fried when im sick, and prob not the best for the "diet" either. oh well, it's tasty and Ive been having beef lately.)

then i had a peanut butter sandwich before i went to the gym.

(yes, the sickly person is crazy enough to still go to the gym. but trust me, if i didn't have to go 3x a week i wouldn't have left the house.)

dinner was left over chow mein, and i also had a small bowl of jook. and powerade to get my elctrolytes back.

and to get my body back to normal, i took my cough syrup, and hit the sheets early.

it was free scoop day at Ben & Jerry's today, and we got a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chunk on a sugar cone. :) Delicious.

Then our late dinner was burgers and fries at Burger Meister. Definitely not diet friendly, but absolutely satisfying!!! I got a Western Burger: onion rings, bacon, cheddar cheese, and bbq sauce.

Today was definitely family Sunday, but kicked my diet out the window. no buenos.

then i made some salsa for a snack. good stuff! tomatoes, onion, jalepeno, corn, lemon juice, and salt. chop chop chop and mix mix mix.

then it got all bad: had a Teaway craving. So i went with the mama and bros to run errands and get Teaway. BADDDD cause we all got a crepe and a drink. I got an original crepe with nutella strawberry and a black sesame milk tea with red bean and tapioca. --> happy tummy but sad diet!

dinner was okay ... got all the food groups covered and didnt over eat. Dad made steak with onions and mushrooms, snap peas, and rice.

I guess today was a half good day - all up til dinner time haha.

had a mug of honey green tea and 2 little blueberry muffins for breakfast.

Lunch was pasta salad with turkey meatballs, and a lemonade from Boudins. I also had a "cutie" mandarin orange. :)

Dinner was DELICIOUS, but when the wagon tipped over. LOL Had the dry fried chicken (diced) from San Tung and pesto pasta with seafood ala my DPIC Kathy's madre! very yummy! Definitely satisfied my San Tung chicken craving that i've been having for the past couple weeks. haha

Day 9: 4.8.11

today was good.

had half a grilled chicken breast sandwich for breakfast. (2 strips of chicken, lettuce, one slice of bread, a little bit of fat free ranch)

Actually was able to eat breakfast (at an odd time of 1030am, but it worked out for my hours) and had a bowl of chicken jook.

Then after work #1, I had some of my salad and my turkey meatball and lettuce sandwich.

Hit the gym for some light cardio and leg lifts on the roman chair.

Snacked on some pita chips at work #2, then afterwards finished my salad. (grilled chicken and pasta salad- lots of tomatoes over lettuce)

then it was off the wagon time ... lol (this really isnt good!)

- tried a crepe at Teaway Express. it was quite tasty - strawberry crepe w. nutella, banana, and whipped cream.

-Trad'r Sam - enough said.
