EVELYN’S BEST BODY EVER

How Calories Sneak Into Your Diet
Posted in: Nutrition, Weight Loss    |    Be the first to comment!
You think you’re being good, adhering to a seemingly healthy diet plan. You’ve exercised, stuck with what you consider healthy food — but the scale’s not budging. What’s going wrong? Calories could be sneaking into your diet without you even paying attention.
Even a simple sandwich with chips and a soda can turn frighteningly dangerous to your diet if you;re not careful about exact measurements. Most people think just because they’re eating whole wheat bread, sliced turkey and putting some vegetables on it that they’re sticking to their diet.
But exactly how are you making that sandwich? Did you measure the mayonnaise? How many slices of turkey on the sandwich? What kind of cheese did you use? If you tally it up and add in a single can of soda and a handful of chips, you could be facing over 1,000 calories — for one meal!

To help you whittle down your waist, you need to be vigilant about exact what goes into your mouth. Don’t just look for wheat bread – get a low calorie version. Use fat free or low calorie cheese and mayonnaise and measure out how much lean meat you’re using. Make the switch to a diet cola and get baked chips instead of fried (or ditch the chips altogether!) and you can have a yummy lunch without packing on the pounds.
Even if you pack your lunch like this and take it to work, don’t let co-workers sabotage your healthy eating plan. You may have rushed out the door without eating and now you’re famished – but steer clear of the pastries or bagels they brought in.
Workplace breakfast spreads for meetings or just for fun can wreak havoc on your diet plans. Instead of indulging, eat breakfast at home (or bring it yourself). If those rich morning coffees are your downfall, switch to a light version and skip the whipped cream on top. Switch from coffee cream to low fat milk. Cut down on the sugar, too!
Some people prefer to use the drive through lanes instead of packing their lunch each day. If this describes you, then make sure you choose wisely. Almost every fast food chain now has diet friendly choices on their menus.
Don’t go with your usual Big Mac or Whopper meal. You’re looking at over 1,000 calories when you get a meal with a soda and fries tagging along. Choose grilled sandwiches with mustard instead of mayonnaise, a diet soda, and fruit instead of a dessert. Fast food places now have apple dippers or mandarin oranges as a healthier option.
Dieting can be hard enough without having to micromanage all of your choices, but track the calories of your current meals and you may be shocked at just how much you’re consuming.
Eat better, move more, and believe in yourself!

TODAY I START CLEAN EATING AND MY NEW WEIGHT GOAL, WHICH IS 115 POUNDS INSTEAD OF 111 POUNDS. I KNOW THE WEIGHT SOUNDS ODD BUT I HAVE A REASON FOR CHOOSING THE WEIGHTS THAT I DID. ANYWAYS, TODAY, I WANT TO FOCUS ON WHOLE FOODS. I ALSO WANT TO FOCUS ON EXERCISING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND NOT JUST ONCE A DAY. SO I WILL BE GOING FOR A WALK IN THE AFTERNOON WITH A FRIEND, AND THEN AGAIN IN THE EVENING WITH ANOTHER FRIEND. SO I PAXKED MY DAY WITH EXERCISE. I ALSO WANT TO TRY TO HIT THE GYM IN BETWEEN WALKS, AS WELL.

TOMORROW I AM GOING TO START EATING CLEAN. I HAD WAYYYYYYYY TOO MUCH JUNK AT MY MOM’S HOUSE TONIGHT. I ALWAYS GO OVER BOARD WITH EATING WHENEVER I AM THERE. IT NEVER FAILS ME. MY MOM TOTALLY UPSET ME RIGHT AFTER I TAUGHT CLASS AT THE GYM: THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT RELIGIOUS MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BUT HERE GOES………………. MY MOM TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO GOD AND THAT REALLY UPSET ME BECAUSE ALL I DO IS TAKE CARE OF HER AND DO EVERYTHING FOR HER, AND TO ME, THAT ISSSSSSSSSSS BEING CLOSE TO GOD. SO BECAUSE OF THIS, I THOUGHT ABOUT MY WEIGHT AND HOW I OVERINDULGE, AND BARELY DESERVE TO EAT. SO I AM GOING ON THIS CLEAN EATING THING. I KNOW MY MOM’S WORDS SHOULD NOT UPSET ME AND GET TO ME SO MUCH, BUT THEY DO. I HAVE ISSUES……………..

SO TODAY I AM STARTING TO AIM FOR A HIGHER WEIGHT. HOPEFULLY IT WILL HELP ME MENTALLY NOT THINK THAT I HAVE TO LOSE SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH WEIGHT. I NOW NEED TO LOSE 25 POUNDS EXACTLY. I AM STILL CURRENTLY AT 140 POUNDS. I WANT TO LOSE A POUND A WEEK. I THINK I AM SO USED TO NOT SEEING ANY RESULTS THAT I AM ACCEPTING THE CURRENT WEIGHT THAT I AM. I DO NOT WANT TO GET UED TO THIS WEIGHT, THOUGH. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT AT ALL. I WILL LOSE THIS WEIGHT. I WILL BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TODAY AND EXERCISE BY TEACHING MY WEIGHT TRAINING CLASS TONIGHT.

MY NEW ULTIMATE WEIGHT GOAL IS 115 POUNDS. IT USED TO BE 111 POUNDS, BUT THAT WAS TOO LIGHT. I AM NOW ON MY WAY TO 115 POUNDS. I AM CURRENTLY 140 POUNDS.

I ATE HEALTHY TODAY, AS WELL YESTERDAY, BUT I STILLLLLLL ATE TOO MUCH. I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE IT WHEN I CONTINUOUSLY DO THIS DAY AFTER DAY. IT IS LIKE I CAN NEVER GET IT RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT I DO. I WILL SAY THIS, THOUGH: I WAS JONZING FOR ICE CREAM, AND I DID NOT, AND I REPEAT, DID NOT GO FOR IT. IT TOOK EVERYTHING IN ME TO NOT GO TO THE STORE TO GET IT, TOO. WHAT I DID WAS TAKE A WALK IN THE PARK WITH 2 FRIENDS INSTEAD. SO WHAT THEY SAY IN THE MAGAZINES IS TRUE - IF YOU DISTRACT YOURSELF ENOUGH, THE CARVINGS WILL GO AWAY EVENTUALLY. I MUST SAY THAT IT DID TAKE A LOT OF WILLPOWER TO DO, THOUGH. I WAS SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE TO GETTING ICE CREAM THAT IT WAS NOT EVEN FUNNY. SO NEXT TIME I FEEL THE URGE TO INDULGE, I WILL GO FOR A WALK INSTEAD.

I ATE HEALTHY YESTERDAY, BUT ATE TOO MUCH. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS EATING TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING. ALTHOUGH SOMETHING IS HEALTHY, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN EAT UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF IT. I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY, AS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE. TODAY, I MUST MAKE A EXTREMELY CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO DO THIS DIET THE CORRECT AND HEALTHY WAY………… NOTHING ELSE………………. I NEED TO EAT, BUT I DO NOT NEED TO BE STUFFED. I NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT I EAT, HOW MUCH I EAT AND PORTION SIZES. I WILL DO IT TODAY. I WILL BE 111 POUNDS, AND WEAR MYU DVB JEANS.

I JUST DID ONE HOUR ON THE TREADMILL JUST NOW. IT WAS JUST A WALK, BUT STILL…… I WENT EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT FEEL LIKE GOING. I AM GOING TO TRY TO GO EVERYDAY. I HAVE EATEN REALLY HEALTHY AND LIGHT SO FAR, BUT IT IS NOT NIGHT TIME YET, WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS TIME FOR ME. WE ARE GOING TO A FRIEND’S HOUSE TONIGHT FOR DINNER, SO I HOPE EVERYTHING THEY MAKE IS HEALTHY- OR AT LEAST I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING HEALTHY TO CHOOSE FROM. THEN TOMORROW MORNING, I WILL BE TAKING SOME CLASSES AT THE GYM, GOING TO MY FRIEND’S POOL, AND THEN GOING OUT WITH FRIENDS IN THE EVENING. SO THIS WEEKEND IS PACKED WITH THINGS TO DO. I HAVE NO EXCUSE TO EAT POORLY. I CAN DO THIS. I WILL WEAR ALL MY BRAND NEW DVB JEANS…………….

I AM WRITING "DO NOT LET EVELYN EAT OR BUY CANDY NO MATTER WHAT UNTIL SHE LOSES WEIGHT" ONTO A PEICE OF PAPER FOR THE HUBBY. I WILL NEVER LOSE THIS WEIGHT IF I KEEP SNARFING UP CANDY LIKE I DID LAST NIGHT. WE EVEN MADE A SPECIAL TRIP TO THE STORE FOR IT. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF. I WILL DO IT TODAY. I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DETERMINED NOW. I CAN DO THIS. I WILL GET INTO MY DVB JEANS. OH, TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO A FRIEND’S HOUSE FOR DINNER, AND SAME FOR TOMORROW. LET’S HOPE I STAY ON CONTROL OVER MY EATING.
