Another so so day

I had an okay day..well as days go. I started the day off right by heading to the gym again for another 20 minutes on the treadmill. But I went to the grocery store and bought this huge bag of portobella mushrooms, with the intention of making fried mushroom fries..if you have not had them they are divine deep fried morsels of heaven. So guess what? I am going to make them. here's how my food intake look for the day so far:

Breakfast:
two eggs over easy
one piece of rosemary bread(local bakery bread)
one orange

Snack:
banana
a handful of almonds
cheesetick

Lunch:
small salad
two small leftover oven baked BBQ chicken thighs
about 3oz baked beans

Snack: this is where I started to go astray.
Three of my tiny golden raisin and oatmeal almond cookies. They really were small. Another slice of the rosemary bread toasted with a laughing cow cheese spread on it.
A few more almonds.

I am getting ready to make dinner:
Hamburgers on whole wheat buns
sweet potato fries
salad
fried mushroom strips with blue cheese dipping sauce

Now I know the mushroom fries are not a good choice..but I bought the darn things sooo here I am. I will be using the rest of them tomorrow to make a lasagna with, in place of the meat, so that is a better choice for using them up.
Here's to another day..I am making better lifestyle choices..even if I am still clinging to my old ways. :) I love myself, I value myself, I am beautiful!

Reclaiming this space

No I did not make any new years resolution. I have however come to the conclusion that it is time to take charge of my life. I had physical last week and I found out I lost around 15lbs, with out even trying. So I know now is the time
I guess this came as I fired, yes fired one of my daycare families. It was a hard thing to do, but the mother was not respectful of me. I was feeling taken advantage of, and that is not fair to me or my family. I am losing money but, something always comes my way so no worries for me!

I stared this week off by going to the gym. We have several free gyms here in town and I need to be using them. I did 20 minutes on the tread mill yesterday and today, and I have my water aerobics class tonight which I have not attended in a week. So far today I have made decent choices for food:
Breakfast:
Homemade oatmeal mix(this has flax and pecans in it)
Blueberries in my oatmeal and a tsp of brown sugar
coffee with fat free and half and half and Agave nectar(does not jack up blood sugar, like other sweeteners and is natural)

Snack:
cheesetick
handful of roasted almonds
1 clementine orange

Lunch: I am eating lunch with Zach at school, so we will see how healthy that is.

Dinner;
BBQ chicken thighs
baked beans
coleslaw

I am allowing myself more carbs at dinner, because this is what works for me. I try to avoid too many carbs during the day and have them at dinner only. I am trying to get more protein and fruits and veggies in my diet..this has been hard for me.
