Okay, I'm back down to 158 (yay!) and you will be very happy to know that I actually exercised for 1/2 hour. Randi inspired me with her comment and I realized I was ignoring the exercise part too much, so, I'm determined to put the exercise part of this experience together. The last three seasons of Road to Avonlea have arrived giving me nearly 30 hours of exercise time to work in. Yesterday I ate very healthy with my bowl of total ceral (we had no bananas left :( ) a homemade chicken wrap (very delicious) and then a terrible experience with a Krispy Kreme donut distributed by my wonderful Creative Writing teacher (AHHHH!) followed by two shrimps and two wontons from work. I couldn't decide what else to eat. I'm excited about exercising (and watching my TV show) yay!

Day 14
Focaccia Bread is pretty much the best thing in the world. Too bad I had about three pieces yesterday. Before that I kept things really healthy - Total cereal with skim milk and a banana for breakfast, a cute little salad for lunch and then by dinner I was STARVING and had a tiny bowl of creamy potato soup and dipped a couple pieces of bread in it. Oh, and I almost forgot I had 3 chips ahoy cookies distributed by my amazing, yet terrible Creative Writing teacher (she is amazing yet terrible because she always gives out yummy junk food in class and I both love her and hate her for it)

Day 13
Lovely isn't it? Yes, this is chicken cordon bleu. Yes, I did eat some of this, and yes it did actually look like this. I actually ate some food early today, around 11 am, and it consisted of a sandwich greatly lacking in condiments (turkey and swiss on wheat) and a Naked Superfood. They are actually surprisingly good for a bunch of green mush.
Day 12
Today my food count was pretty crazy. I had a banana around 1:00, was starving by the time I got out of class and ended up at Dirk's Farmhouse wherein I ordered a spinach salad (with my beloved cranberries) and a delicious ravioli with tomato pesto. It looked something like the image above. Unfortunately, I also went to the movies.
If you haven't seen Tangled, it's well worth going. Although, the half a bag of popcorn, half box of junior mints and small rootbeer I consumed I would not suggest also partaking of. :P I know you are all looking at me thinking "You are crazy. You are never going to accomplish this in time" Yes, I also am thinking that. I just wish that days were like 48 hours long, then the crazy running from school to work to home to do homework to spend some time with my child wouldn't seem so crazy. Add grabbing food and sleeping into that and it seems like there is no time. It's okay though, I will get this figured out, really I will.

Day 11
Sundays are unusual around our house. Typically we do nothing. It's really a wonderful day. Its the only day of the week where I either don't work and I don't go to school. It is also a wonderful day to make breakfast. Everyone is home and usually everyone gets hungry by 11:00, which is when I made biscuits this morning. They were yummy ones made from Bisquick with onion, garlic, parsley and cheese. They only take about ten minutes. I'll admit I ate far more than I should have (I'm estimating around ten). Not in one fell swoop, mind you, but over the course of the day. I did have orange juice and strawberries as well which hopefully balanced out anything unhealthy in my white flour extravaganza. I also think I may have eaten a baby carrot.
The rest of the day was mostly snacking off biscuits, although I have to admit that I did eat a caramel earlier this morning (it was before breakfast and I couldn't find any ready food).
The saddest part of the evening ending with about a quarter of a cup of butterscotch chips. Yes, gasp if you must, I have to in terrible recollection. I'll try to sum up my terrible betrayal in proper expression:
There I was, spending countless hours working on my gondola scene in Venice, painting away so that my midterm would be ready by Tuesday. To keep myself doubly occupied I like to watch episodes of Maud Montgomery spin off, Road to Avonlea. If you haven't watched it and you are female you will most likely adore it. It is about a simple life with simple folk on Prince Edward Island and has become my most recent obsession.
In fact, being female isn't a requirement as Nathan will poke his head in off and on and ask about major characters "What is Hetty up to now? Why is Felicity so horrible? Felix is so awesome!" Things like that...anyway...point being....there I was watching multiple episodes - unfortunately this show captures my emotions rather quickly and two of the main characters who really love each other starting developing their relationship (I don't want to spoil any endings for you all) but next thing I knew I had retrieved the only sugar we have in the house (butterscotch chips) and began devouring them while silently attempting to hold back sobs over their beautiful, though agonizing love triangle (it really is painful, you have to watch it).
Anyway, after eating an entire fourth of a cup I realized I felt absolutely terrible. I'm most certain my tummy does not approve of butterscotch chips and tragic romance. Funny thing to note though - I was sucking on a chip and thinking to myself "Man, what does this taste like?" And myself answered as it always does, "Why, butter of course!" and then I responded "Oh goodness butter! Butter, for BUTTERscotch!" The light went on in my head and now I am a more cultured individual. All this time I strangely never put two and two together but always secretly wondered what made butterscotch chips taste sooooo good. The next question is - do they really put scotch in them? (And is that why I can't stop eating them?) Someone please yell at me quick before I finish off this terrible bag!
*Sigh* It's okay, I know things look dark and hopeless at this point, but I really do have a small amount of self control that I will uncover momentarily (as soon as I stop crying over how horrible Valentine's Day is and that my two characters have to go through such hardship to be together) Who knew I was such a baby when I'm dieting!
90 Days to go!
PS I have left an image of my favorite characters for my own sake...
Good luck to you all in your 100 Day endeavors! (Oh and go home and watch episodes of Road to Avonlea if you ever get bored and want something wonderful to relate to!)

Day 10
So, I feel better and I have recovered from my depression of yesterday. Yes I am going to exercise and lose weight. I had a healthy breakfast of total cereal with bananas. From there I went to work and had a piece of bread dipped in taco soup and then a piece of chicken in between a bread roll. All in all it was pretty good. Not overly healthy though lol. Bring on the health food!
Day 9
So, my weigh in was today, and after eating fairly healthy all week I was fully expecting to lose some weight. Unfortunately I didn't. In fact I gained weight...seven pounds. Let's all cry together now :S
For breakfast I had grape-nuts and orange juice. Quite healthy. Lunch not so good, I had a handful of gold fish (the crackers, not the sea food) distributed by my very caring but obviously diet unaware creative writing teacher, who also distributed oreo cookies the other day. After that came home and finished three bites of Jule's remaining hamburger, which she didn't want to eat. Then I went to work and devoured the Greatest Sandwich on Earth - our turkey panini. It is alway super good. Then I had a scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy. All in all it really wasn't that unhealthy. The realization is more definite now - I must exercise to lose weight - damn it.
