Hey! I'm back! :) Vacation was great, but it's SO nice to be home! Though, I did get SUPER tan, and I'm all refreshed for these last three weeks. It's go time! :)
I would have pictures for you, but it's 11:30, and I'm pretty exhausted. I'll post some tomorrow though :)
Breakfast: 1 cup of Cheerios with 1/2 cup skim milk and 1 cup of coffee with 2 splendas and 1/4 cup skim milk. I love this breakfast because it's so easy and so good :)
Snack: I had a Fage 0% Cherry Pomegranate yogurt. I'm so glad I didn't stir it this time and it was SO much better as a result :)
Lunch: 4 Pieces of BBQ Chicken Breast (from the Grocery store deli). I wasn't really hungry so that was fine :)
Snack: 10 Apple Slices-my favorite snack :)
Dinner: I had 1 Everything Bagel Thin with 2 tbsp 1/3 less fat Strawberry Cream Cheese on it-yum! With that, I made an omelet using 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1.5 oz ham, a tiny bit of cheese, and some spices. It was AMAZING! I should have just made them scrambled eggs and put them between the bagel :)
Snack: I had 11 TJ's Gorgonzola Crackers and 1 Granola Thin. I really need to pick up some more of TJ's Organic Hummus with my crackers. It completes the snack :)
Exercise: Sadly I didn't go today :( I wanted to, but other things got in the way. Luckily I have a day off tomorrow so I'm planning to get in a 2 hour gym session (or 2 sessions) if possible :)
Pros: I'm glad I ate some good foods, and I like being able to use the motivation that I'm getting closer to 'one'derland. I'm around 40 pounds away, and that makes me feel really good! :)
Cons: I drank quite a bit of water today, but I definitely need to drink more!
Hoping for a better tomorrow! :)

August 3rd
So now begins the pictures again-yayy! :)
Breakfast:
Fiber One's 80 Calorie Honey Squares Cereal with 1 cup of coffee with 2 splendas and 1 tbsp creamer (we're apparently out of milk). I got the cereal in a giveaway, and I like it, but I feel like it may be TOO sweet, I'm not sure. Oh well :)
Chipotle Chicken Salad Bowl with a little bit of rice, little bit of cheese, and pico de gallo. YUM!
Dinner:
Yes, I had an Everything Bagel Thin with 2 tbsp 1/3 less fat Strawberry cream cheese-just what I wanted :) I also had 2 oz. of Barbecue Chicken Breast from the grocery store-YUM!
Snacks:
(Post-Workout) I also had 11 TJ's Gorgonzola Crackers and a Granola Thin (not post-workout)
Exercise: I got into the gym today! YAY :) I did 30 minutes of hardcore strength training, which felt AMAZING! :)
Pros: I'm SO glad I got into the gym today, and ate some delicious foods! :) I think the fried food was starting to get to my system because I wasn't feeling terrific some of the days on vacation :/
Cons: I should have gotten longer of a workout in, and consumed more water, but I can't complain :)
Hoping for a great tomorrow! :)

August 2nd
So today was pretty sad. I drove home today, and had to say goodbye. It was SO much fun though, and I'm glad I was able to go! :)
Breakfast: We went to Golden Griddle for breakfast and I had the Banana Pancakes (AMAZING!) with 1/4 cup of grits and water. YUM YUM YUM! :)
Dinner: I ate around 4:30, and we had Vegan Stir Fry (about a cup), with a little bit of Basmati Brown Rice-pretty good :)
Snacks: I had a Granola Thin-Dark Chocolate, which I love because they're only 80 calories and they're a perfect amount of sweetness :)
Exercise: I didn't exercise today, but I can't wait to go tomorrow! :)
Pros: I'm glad I ate pretty well, especially after the morning's splurge, but I was ready for it :)
Cons: I should have eaten more, especially at night, but I wasn't hungry, so it's okay :)

August 1st
Aw! My first post in August and I wasn't here :( Oh well :)
Breakfast: Once again, I had 1/2 a plain bagel and 1 cup of coffee with creamer in it-so good :)
Snacks: We didn't eat lunch again, because we ate breakfast fairly late. But after the pool/hot tub/lazy river, I was hungry, so I had some dry-roasted peanuts and 1 Granola Thin-Dark Chocolate :)
Dinner: We went to Spring House, which I honestly wasn't very impressed with. I got the Virginia Baked Ham with Green Beans and Fried Okra, and it came with a corn muffin. The ham was eh, I couldn't eat the green beans because they tasted so bad, and the fried okra and corn muffin were pretty good. I also had a couple bites of the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, which was good :)
Dessert: We got ice cream once again, and I decided to get the Orange Sherbet. It was amazing-probably VERY high in sugar, but a nice treat :)
Exercise: We took a walk along the beach for about an hour. We walked really slow, but it was around 4 miles that we went, and I was pleased :)
Pros: I got to see fireworks tonight-yayyy! :) I LOOOOVEEE fireworks! I'm also happy I still stayed pretty good to what I'm doing, even with my friends around. This shows that I can still be in control when I go back to school :)
Cons: I know I can eliminate some of the sugar in the food I eat daily, so I'll work on that :)

July 31st
Today was SO much fun! The three of us and Mollie's mom had TONS of fun, and I'm SO glad I was able to come up here for a couple of days :)
Breakfast: We had breakfast around 10:30, and I had 1/2 a plain bagel with 1 cup of coffee with some International Delight-White Chocolate Mocha creamer in it-so good :)
Snack: We went to Hot Diggity Diner for drinks and split an appetizer of Mozzerella Sticks, so we each had two. I got a Virgin Strawberry Pina Colada, which had SO MUCH sugar/syrup in it. I could barely drink 1/3 of it, but I counted it as 1/2.
Dinner: We went to Dick's Last Resort, which was SO SO SO fun! There were some CRAZY hats there! One lady's said "I make Casey Anthony look like a good mom" Thank goodness it's all in good fun! :) But I got the Southwestern Steak Salad, which was REALLY good :)
Dessert: We went to get ice cream, but I figured sherbet would be a MUCH better choice, so I got Raspberry Sherbet-SO good :)
Exercise: Again, not today, but when I get back, I'll definitely be working out a LOT :)
Pros: I'm glad I didn't get too crazy with my food, and I had fun at the beach, and doing stuff outside, just being active :)
Cons: I should have had more water, and could have left the dressings for the salad and whatnot on the side, but it's okay :)

July 30th
So, today was SO much fun! I got to see Mollie for the first time in almost three months, and I met her friend Amanda who was staying there for a few days longer after I left, so that was fun :)
Breakfast: I stayed overnight at my grandparent's house, so for breakfast, I had 2 shots of espresso with 3 Banana-Blueberry Pancakes (organic and vegan and everything), 2 small pieces of vegan sausage, and 2 tiny pieces of canteloupe, before I deemed myself stuffed :)
Snack: I had a Luna Bar-Chocolate Dipped Coconut while I was driving. Because I left their house around 1:30, I didn't have lunch, and I was stuffed anyways until dinner :)
Dinner: After I got to Mollie's beach house, we walked down to the beach, and talked for a while, and then came back, and headed to Hot Diggity Diner for dinner. I wasn't going to limit myself to nothing, I decided before my trip, but I wasn't going to go crazy, because, after all, I still want to lose weight :) So I had 4 grilled Chicken Tenders with a little bit of BBQ-Ranch sauce, 3 hushpuppies, a piece of cornbread, and 1.5 cups of Okra (probably less, but I'm overestimating to be safe) :) I also had water with it.
Exercise: I didn't count walking on the beach because I didn't feel it was actual working out. So, I'll just say I didn't workout today.
Pros: I'm glad I didn't get too off track when I was on vacation, and made sure to eat until I was full.
Cons: I should have had more water, and maybe could have made better food choices, but I'm fine with what I did :)

July 29th
So, I'm back and ready for these last three weeks! I had a GREAT vacation, filled with loads of driving, but even MORE laughs :) I can't wait to see Mollie again in a few weeks when we head back to school :) But now, onto the part y'all are waiting for-the usual :)
So, I had my weigh-in this morning, and I lost 4.5 pounds since Sunday, and I'm SO close to my next goal! Hopefully I go past it next week-I REALLY want the iPod armband :)
Breakfast:
Coffee and Nutri-Grain Bar. Love this breakfast, but I need something slightly more filling :)
Dinner:
Okay, so I should probably explain this one :) So, I took the two kids I was babysitting to Chuck E Cheese's, and obviously I wasn't going to eat there, and so the first time I got food since breakfast was on my way to the beach. I went to Burger King and got a Whopper Jr. without Mayo. For only 260 calories, it was pretty good.
Snack:
I didn't take pictures after this, but when I got to my grandparent's house (on the way to the beach), I had 1.5 cups of homemade Gazpacho soup, 1/4 cup homemade hummus, and 10 Falafel Chips and then 1/2 cup of homemade Mango sorbet. I wasn't sure how to put in calories or whatever for this, since my grandparents are really strict with food, and don't use anything that essentially doesn't grow in nature (except the chips I guess). Regardless, it was good :)
Exercise: I didn't do any today, just because I honestly had no time, with going on vacation and whatnot.
Pros: I'm glad I didn't eat too much, even with leaving for vacation and whatnot :) I'm also glad I didn't touch the pizza at Chuck E Cheese :)
Cons: I wish I drank more water, but I didn't want to keep stopping, and I should have eaten more throughout the day.
