Thank you, Canada!

What I ate today:
  1. Breakfast smoothie (with mango), 561 calories.
  2. Tuna and cheese wrap, 369 calories. I made this up because I wanted to eat something natural yet high in protein (aka not just a scoop of protein powder in some milk). I used Laughing Cow cheese, an 80 calorie tortilla, and 5 ounces of tuna. I put a tablespoon of Chia seeds on top of the tuna as well. It wasn't bad; I'll make another wrap with the other can of tuna I had in the pantry eventually. I'm not a huge tuna fan though.
  3. Sleep Inducer Smoothie, 284 calories.
  4. York Pieces, 170 calories. I need to stop eating these. I didn't splurge or anything, but I could eat a lot of things for 170 calories that have nutritional value. 
Total: 1,353 calories


Nutrition Goals:
Met: Calories, Fat, Carbs, Protein, Sodium, Fiber (which I have NEVER done before, by the way)
Not met: Water (-5 cups)
Nutritional Ranges c/o SparkPeople


Exercise I did today:
Focus: Outer thighs
Exercises: Saddlebag Buster, The Small Dog, Weight Pass-Around, Unbalanced Chair
Time: 5 and a half minutes (10 reps a piece for each)

Focus: Lower back
Exercises: Leg Raise, Superwoman, Diagonal Extensions
Time: 3 and a half minutes 

This is my new favorite website in the world. It's a Canadian fitness site. I am going to use it every day and focus on a different body part each day. I still wish I had a gym membership, but this plus running on decent weather days will have to do. The way the exercise finder works is you click a body part you want to work on, and it gives you pages of simple exercises to do!


Albums I listened to today:

  1. OneDirection - Take Me Home (Yearbook Edition)
  2. Stevie Wonder - Number 1's
  3. Justin Bieber - Believe

Too much going on.

What I ate today:

  1. Breakfast Smoothie, 480 calories. This smoothie is so damn delicious. Like, I don't mind making one of these every morning. I will probably throw chia seeds in there once I buy them today. The more I read about them the more amazing they seem.
  2. Popcorn, 240 calories
  3. Weight Loss Smoothie, 300 calories. I went to a store called Health Hut and got Chia Seeds, which was one of the ingredients in this smoothie. You can only find them in health food stores. They don't have a flavor but they're super nutritious. This smoothie isn't AS good as the breakfast one, but it's not too bad. It calls for Chia seeds, half of a banana, a scoop of protein powder, a cup of frozen berries, and milk. 
  4. York Pieces, 200 calories. I grab a few here and there, which by the end of the day equal a serving.

Total: 1,265 calories (I added 45 calories for the other half of the banana from my Weight Loss smoothie)

I weighed myself this morning. Didn't like the number. But I'm also on my period, which I know causes me to gain several pounds unfairly. I do need to incorporate working out into my routine to really drop the pounds, but I'm trying to work on decluttering my life first.


I also decided once I run out of ingredients for the smoothies I shopped for the other day, I'm going to do the Dr. Oz 3 Day Detox Cleanse. My mom told me about it, and I think it would be a good thing to do right after Thanksgiving (because I won't be having smoothies on Thanksgiving). 

For the first time in awhile, I had an anxiety attack as I tried to go to sleep about my dad. I guess it was because we were talking about my brother having one when he got back up to school. I started remembering the images that cause me to have anxiety attacks: seeing him scared before he was wheeled into the OR, seeing him all hooked up in ICU after the surgery, etc. He is a living miracle and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for God giving my dad a second life. But I still get anxiety thinking about Hell Week. Despite it all being over.

Albums I listened to today:

    

In case the images are broken:
  1. Justin Bieber - Believe
  2. Mumford & Sons - Babel
  3. Stevie Wonder - Number Ones
  4. Muse - The 2nd Law
