ABC, 123, baby you and me girrrrl

Got to weigh myself again. 142. That's a pound and a half more than Thursday. Ugh. I knew I gained over the weekend. It's actually not as much as I thought it would be, but still. I really have to try harder. I'm starting ABC today! It's going to be hard but I really think I can do it. The fasting and really low cal days will be especially difficult since I'm at home and people might get suspicious, but I'll think of something. I feel great about today. I exercised a LOT and stayed under 500 calories! And I babysat my favorite little girl in the whole world! She's sho cute. It's been a good day. I hope tomorrow will be just as successful. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my best days.

Man. I was so close to convincing my parents to buy a new exercise bike and then all our appliances stopped working at once. We had to buy a new dishwasher and dryer and there is no way they'll buy a bike now. I need to find a way to get more cardio into my routine. I am way too self conscious to start running, even though I'm in the middle of nowhere and no one would see me anyway. My plan was to start off on an exercise bike and once I was stronger and thinner I'd start running, buuuuut that's not happening. When nobody else is here I can get a little cardio in by running up and down the stairs but my family would think I was insane if I did that while they were here. I'll just have to do a lot more of everything else that isn't noisy or obtrusive when they're around.

Ok since I'm starting ABC I'm going to post how much of everything I'm eating and how many calories are in it. I'm hoping posting it online will make me more accountable for what I'm doing.

Things I Ate Today

green tea - 0

coffee - 5? (I've gotten a lot of different reports as to how many calories are in a cup of black coffee, but I know it's not a lot.)

2 tortilla chips - 33 (JESUS CHRIST tortilla chips are horrible for calories! i figured hey, 2 chips won't hurt right? THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR EATING BEFORE CHECKING!)

1/3 cup craisins - 130

1 slice whole grain bread with 2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter - 300 (words cannot express how much I love peanut butter. so many calories....)

Total Calories: 468
ABC limit: 500
:D SUCCESS. But I didn't make the wisest choices today, everything I ate was really small in quantity and high in calories. I was kind of on the spot though and couldn't take the time to find better options. I will be better.
