New plan (Day 7)

After reading some blogs I have decided to devise a new plan. I will still be following my modified version of the ABC diet so that won’t really change. However, I will make it my goal to come in at least 100 calories under the daily calorie limits. I think the reason why I’m so damn afraid of the scale, even though I’ve been sticking to the plan is because even though I’m staying within the daily calorie limits I’m still making bad food choices. Yesterday was a 1,000 calorie day and I used most of the calories on candy.

Food intake for yesterday (1000 calorie day):
-Almond butter on low cal. Wheat bread (150)
-Banana (125) -Large bag of skittles (450)
-2 ropes of Laffy Taffy (160)
-Half of a veggie burger (100)
-5 grapes (15)

See what I mean pathetic- 610 out of 1000 calories wasted on candy! I think if I lower the daily calorie intake it will force me to make better food choices. However, I don’t want to feel like I’m deprived of anything, so I’ll make the lower calorie intake more of an option rather than a rule, but turning it into a game with prizes every week. The new plan is basically to add stuff I stole from the blogs of Isobel (count down to skinny) and Elle (working on it). Isobel motivated me to try and do better than merely sticking to my calorie range, and Elle inspired me to get my butt moving, by running on the weekends.

Possible Scoring options
Calories
-under 100 daily limit (15 pts)
-10 calories (2 pts)
Exercise
-walk one mile (10 pts)
-run one mile (15 pts)
-half hour of cardio (10 pts)
-completing toning exercises (10 pts)
Water
-8 cups (10 pts)
-1 extra cup (5 pts)
Sleep
-8 hours (10 pts)
-1 extra hour (5 pts)

I’m currently unsure what exactly the points and rewards should be. So if anyone has any ideas I’m completely open to suggestions. I plan to come up with all the rules and rewards for the plan this weekend, so Saturday I will post an in-depth version of the plan. Since the plan will officially begin this Sunday.

Moving on to today’s events. I’m still in homework hell, which won’t end until the end of this week, when I spend the weekend playing catch-up. Last night I didn’t go to bed until a little after 4 in the morning and had to get up less than 3 hours later at 7am. I was going to pull an all-nighter tonight since I only did a 4 hour shift tonight at work, but I’m so damn tired I really doubt I’ll get much accomplished anyway. Besides tonight will be the first night that I’ll get a decent amount of sleep this week. Every night I’ve been up late doing homework.
　
On a more positive note today was a very good day in terms of food. Not only did I do a good job of keeping my calories relatively low, but I also did a good job of eating the right foods.

Today I had:
-A. B. sandwich (150)
-Banana (125)
-Apple (80)
-1 cup of cheerios with 1 cup of soy milk (180)
-1 veggie burger (200)
-Soup (260)

Total: 995 (105 calories under)

　
　
I’d also like to give a shout-out to my newest follower Ayden Cole.- Thanks for following, you've given me yet another reason to stay motivated. I’m going to end it here since I’ve already written another novel
