I haven't updated this thing in awhile, but I scrolled back to see my weight progress. When I started this thing I weighed 209. I'm 180 now. Not bad, Cailin. Not bad.

March 17

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie - Green Machine

Lunch: Chicken and bacon salad from McDonald’s (olive oil instead of dressing), 2 chicken nuggets, two fries

Dinner: none

Snack: two small chocolate eggs, Butter Pecan Dunkin Donuts coffee (regular, small)

Workout: 30 minutes on treadmill

Notes: Sooo here’s the story: Drank my smoothie, went to the gym with Danielle. Picked up Adele and we went to McDonald’s where I got a salad, which, shockingly isn’t that many calories even with the crispy chicken (their grilled chicken is disgusting). We bring it home (where the fries and chocolate egg happened) and Adele hands me her last two chicken nuggets saying she doesn’t want them. I can’t say no to a chicken nugget. Soo we go get Danielle’s car inspected and walk over to Dunks where I get my coffee (yeah yeah, another bad choice). Head home so the kids can nap, and then head out again to go to Danielle’s mom’s. As soon as we’re in the car, I say, “My stomach feels so unsettled right now.” Halfway through the ride, Adele starts whining and moaning and then suddenly announces her belly hurts and she needs to “spit up”. I give her a plastic bag and yep. Throws up into it. I tell Danielle she better take me home. We get to my house where Adele has to go to the bathroom. I take her inside, she goes, comes out, says goodbye to my parents, says her belly hurts again, and so I rush her back in the bathroom, where she throws up, even more than she did in the car. I bring her back out to Danielle, fill her in, and go back inside, where my dad is all DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE KITCHEN GO UPSTAIRS AND SHOWER. (He’s having surgery on the 27th and if he’s sick, they’ll delay it even longer). I honestly don’t think it was a bug, only because she and I got upset stomachs at the same time and we were the only ones who ate her nuggets. So yeah. I’m okay, just a shaky stomach, so I skipped dinner and my blogilates workouts and am sipping ginger tea, hoping that’s the end of it for me. Prayers!

March 16

Breakfast: Odwalla smoothie - Mango Tango

Lunch: Odwalla smoothie - Mango Tango

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, olive oil, parmesan cheese, chicken)

Snack: Special K cereal, almond milk

Workout: 5 Minute Beautiful Booty, Flat Belly Fat Burner (partial), Intense Inner Thigh Challenge, Sexy Sculpted Legs Workout (all but one move), Thigh Challenge

Notes: I probably shouldn’t have had the cereal, but my stomach was growling with hunger sooo bad after I worked out. So. Maybe I should have. Anyway, I’m getting back on track this week, so I feel good about that. Tomorrow: gym.

March 13

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie - Protein Double Berry

Lunch: Odwalla smoothie - Mango Tango

Dinner: chicken sausage, cucumber

Snack: Special K cereal

Workout: 5 Minute Fat Burner, Killer Legs

Notes: I feel weird that I ate that cereal but I was STARVING and had no idea why until I saw just how low calorie those sausages were, so I had to supplement. I didn’t do this yesterday because I felt SO shitty (and then I had bad food when I was babysitting so I wasn’t proud of my choices anyway.) Tomorrow might be YOLO day instead of Sunday because I’m going to the movies/mall (instead of my cousin’s baby shower).

March 11

Breakfast: Odwalla smoothie - Mango Tango

Lunch: Odwalla smoothie - Citrus C Monster

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, chicken, parmesan cheese, olive oil)

Workout: 12 roll ups

Notes: I’m realizing I really hate floor workouts. Anything where I have to be on my back or hands and knees is really hard for me. Hands and knees because of my wrist. And then when I’m on my back, I feel like I’m choking because of my damn chest (not to mention my lower back problem which prevents me from putting pressure on my back). It actually gets me super frustrated and I end up turning off the videos. So I think for awhile I just need to stick to cardio or anything where I’m standing or sitting upright.

March 10

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie - Berry Blast

Lunch: Naked juice smoothie - Berry Blast

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, chicken, parmesan cheese, olive oil)

Snack: 3/4 Hershey bar

Workout: 2 30-second side planks

Notes: Rough Day. Hence the Hershey bar and lack of work out. So far, it's been a rough week and it's only Tuesday, but that's also why I didn't update yesterday.

March 8

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner: YOLO

Workout: 5 Minute Flat Abs, 20 jumping jacks, Fun Indoor Cardio Workout, Body Slimming Workout, Best Stretches to Relieve Low Back Pain

Notes: YOLO day! It was glorious. I had a chicken sandwich for lunch (a Lean Cuisine one because they didn't have the kind I wanted at the store) and then pizza for dinner! Plus some Hershey kisses I found from Valentine's Day. I did work out though. At first, I was gonna make my YOLO food day the same as my resting workout day, but I think this works better for me.

199!

I am under 200 pounds again!

March 7

Breakfast: Boathouse smoothie - Tropical Goodness

Lunch: Boathouse smoothie - Tropical Goodness

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, olive oil, chicken, parmesan cheese, croutons)

Snack: cookie

Notes: No workout today; resting day. I shouldn't have had the cookie, but whatever. So excited for YOLO day tomorrow.

March 6

Breakfast: Boathouse smoothie - Tropical Goodness

Lunch: Odwalla smoothie - Blueberry B

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, chicken, parmesan cheese, olive oil, croutons)

Snacks: Starbucks caramel frappuccino, Special K Chips

Exercise: 15 crunches, Pumped Up Cardio Warmup, 6 Min To Sexy Arms

Notes: The Starbucks was unnecessary, but I won't drink one on my YOLO day. Plus, Danielle offered so. Blame her. the Special K Chips weren't too many calories and I still stayed under 1200 calories today, but I still feel like I shouldn't have eaten them. Also, more water!!!

March 5

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie - Chia Sweet Peach

Lunch: Naked juice smoothie - Chia Sweet Peach

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, bacon, olive oil, parmesan cheese, chicken)

Workout: Beginners Abs & Butt Workout

Notes: Did better with the water - got up to 5 glasses. I was supposed to do another workout video today, but I didn't want to do the one I had already done previously, so I just said fuck it and did one.

March 4

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie - Berry Blast

Lunch: Naked juice smoothie - Blue Machine

Dinner: Salad (baby spinach, extra virgin olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, chicken, 6 small croutons)

Snack: a handful of Boom Chicka Pop popcorn

Workout: 10 burpees, Fat Burning Cardio Warmup, Beginner Inner Thighs

Notes: The popcorn made me feel super crappy and I don't really know why, since it's all natural ingredients. My theory is the salt. Whenever I have too much salt and I haven't drunk enough water, I always feel lousy. I didn't think there was that much salt in it, but maybe mixed with the salt from the croutons in my salad? I don't know, I'm guessing at everything. Did a LITTLE better with the water. A cup of ginger tea, a cup of water, a cup of Stomach Ease tea, and now I'm drinking Bedtime Soothing Caramel Tea (which tastes nothing like caramel, I'm sad to say because I could really go for a Caramal Frappuccino from Starbucks. Maybe I'll get that on my YOLO day).

March 3

Breakfast: Naked Juice - Probiotic Machine Tropical Mango

Lunch: Naked Juice - Probiotic Machine Tropical Mango

Dinner: IHOP Crispy Chicken Salad (no tomatoes or blue cheese), one buttermilk pancake with syrup

Snack: Half of a small grilled cheese

Workout: gym (30 minutes cycling, 15 minutes elliptical), 30 second plank, Bubble Butt Workout, Total Body Pilates with Ana Caban

Notes: Bad food choices today. Let's start with how I tried to start the morning with a mixed green juice, and gagged twice and spit it up in the sink. So I switched to a juice I know I love and had that for my first two meals. Went to the gym with Danielle for the first time, which I actually didn't find too bad. But then she announced, "It's Free Pancake Day at IHOP and I've never missed it. We have to go." If I had just gotten pancakes, it would have been less calories than the salad I got. I knew the crispy chicken would make the calories go up, but when I found out the thing was almost 1200 calories, I nearly freaked. BUT I didn't get any blue cheese on it and I avoided the lettuce with the most dressing on it, so averaged it down to 900 calories. And then I caved an had a pancake (110 calories) plus a little bit of syrup (50 calories). And THEN I got home and my dad was making grilled cheese, which I refused first, and then said I'd have half of one (he makes them on scali bread, so they're small to begin with). Then I ended the night with the Blogilates workouts. All in all, I went 39 calories over my 1200 limit, BUT according to my app, I burned almost 540 calories, so I'm not hating myself and my numbers today. Now I need to shower and sleep and DRINK MORE WATER TOMORROW BECAUSE I STILL ONLY HAD TWO GLASSES TODAY.

March 2

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie - Chia Cherry Lime

Lunch: Odwalla smoothie - Berries Gomega

Dinner: salad (baby spinach, chicken breast, extra virgin olive oil, parmesan cheese)

Workout: 10 sit ups, POP Pilates for Beginners: Ab Time, 10 Min Ab Sculpting Workout (half)

Notes: Only did half of the last one because i had a meltdown and burst out crying. I'm very frustrated with people "over" helping. Whether it's commenting about how I'm drinking my smoothies or what kind of socks I'm wearing when I work out. This whole thing is really hard for me and I just sort of need everyone to leave me alone and let me deal with it in my own way. But it's Day 2 and I'm already wanting to stop, if nothing else if just for people to back off. Also, I really need to drink more water. I had a cup of tea and that was it.

March 1

Breakfast: Naked juice smoothie: Blue Machine

Lunch: chicken parm calzone

Dinner: Naked juice smoothie: Chia Cherry Lime

Snacks: ginger ale, 2 chocolate covered strawberries, Cadbury egg

Exercise: POP Pilates for Beginners - Total Body Workout

Notes: This was supposed to be the first day of my diet, but everything got screwed up with my cousin's baby shower. I definitely need to make my non-smoothie meal be dinner because right now I'm pretty hungry. I didn't eat that much of the calzone because I don't like chicken parm, but I managed to find a little piece that had no tomato sauce on it. I don't feel too guilty about the strawberries (I skipped the cake). The egg was completely unnecessary though. Still, I kept the calories under 1200. I really need to drink more water. I think once I replace my ginger ale with ginger tea that will help. I'm doing the beginner calendar this month instead of the new March one. I got completely overwhelmed last month and ended up stopping. Plus, I think it's wiser with such an extreme diet change this month. One tweak at a time. One major note though? I realized that I can totally do this.
