I just stumbled on a super old "what did you eat today"-type post of my own while looking for a protein bar review. It shocks me to see how I ate at former stages of this journey. I remember my thoughts back then, about how I thought I was eating too many calories. Or even how random people would tell me how I was doing it wrong.
...with a passion. But this morning I was poked to log in and do it.
While today's entry appears "good" with 1100 calories and 100 grams of protein, it's not exactly typical of my recent history. I usually end up with more calories as evidenced by the lack of weight loss around these parts. (We are not discussing it. I've hidden the scale for now.) I would assume I land around 1600-1800 most of the time.
Admittedly, I lasted only a few days on the Topamax -- which helps me maintain my weight while taking other anti-epileptic drugs that can cause serious HUNGRY -- because it caused me to fall dead asleep in the daytime. I will see my neurologist next week and I hope to dump the meds and try something else as they're not working. I had two seizures today, and this rate is really unacceptable...
I weighed in -- and figured I'd share my yesterday's day of "God she's boring" food with you. "You must do tons of exercise to eat all those calories - " someone asked on Facebook yesterday. Yeah. No. I don't. It's just that I think I eat pretty BIG FINGER QUOTES "normally" /BIG FINGER QUOTES in calories -- anyway -- because I am maintaining a normal body weight.
I am maintaining my size. It's been a year. I eat what I want, when I want, in the quantity I desire.
I am a result of doing just that. It's highly technical.
Weight - 162 lbs. (On my fancy-schmancy new scale that will be it's own post.)
Anyone care for a bowl of bean soup? I can't possibly eat all of this, because I will implode.
7am - Coffee, Almond milk, repeat... la la la...
Lunch - 1/2 Spinach Souffle, sliced ham (The souffle was an afterthought, I cooked it, didn't like it and ate the burned edges only. Texture aversions ahoy.)
Snack - Ritz Veggie Crackers (YUCK, SALTY! These are awful... Then again, I'm used to my Wholegrain Crackers...) a pile of melted mozzarella, which I attempted to peel off and eat instead
Snack - A piece of rolled up ham straight out of the fridge
11:30am - evol Burrito Cilantro Lime Chicken - Mild Salsa - Probably not going to finish it, as I am peering at the last 1/4th of it and pfffft.
5:00pm - Out with exMr - 1/2 small steak quesadilla ---peeled off most of the tortilla-- to eat the goods, a couple bites lettuce, about 1/2 teaspoon sour cream (because it makes me die... Guessing 300-400) 2/3 of a Corona Light Beer, gave up when I felt it... (80)
7:30-8:00pm - On the way home from tractor shopping -- two bites of a donut from exMr's bag. Mmm, donut. (100-150?)
I'm seeing it again, those "What does Melting Mama Eat In A Day, In A Week?" searches. I know it's the whole Bad Girl thing.
People think I'm in here eatin' Doritos and Dunkin' Donuts. #assumptionfail It's BIG MACS honey.
I don't post my intake much because I am so very boring. I'll throw it out there, a couple days, here and there. I cannot possibly do it every day. I will make you stab your eyes out with boredom!
"I'mma do the things that I wanna do I ain't got a thing to prove to you I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans Excuse my manners if I make a scene I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like I'm fine and dandy with the me inside One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink I don't give a hoot about what you think"
I'm a little bit pleased this morning. I weighed in. 164 lbs. Bacon, FTW.
I don't keep accurate records, nor do I log my weight OFTEN, but this is quite indicative of my last year or so. I started where I am now. The peak was about ten pounds higher than THAT dot would even indicate. I never actually logged it, even if I wrote about it. Ouch. I died inside when I inched toward 1-9-0 lbs. I started a blog about "Regain." And, it stopped.
If I can convince Mr. MM that there won't be any holiday baking (I don't, much...) I will be well off this holiday season to continue losing. Mr.? There won't be ANY holiday baking. Nobody NEEDS your shit. KTHANX.
