I'm bored blogging about what I eat. I like to eat and not think too hard about what I'm eating even though I don't usually eat much. I like to exercise. If I had sore muscles everyday I'd be a happy person. I never had any intention of losing 10 pounds. I'm already pretty bony, and I would look more disgusting if I did. I hate being told to eat a cheeseburger because I'm too skinny. I don't really like burgers. Really this all started to be supportive and prove that you can work out and eat few calories/day if you have the will power.
Well, Melissa upped the stakes and now I'm trying to go without sugar. This maybe the biggest challenge yet. Even though I don't eat much, I always eat sweets. I think I may gain weight by cutting out sweets. As strange as that sounds, it was like a way to tell my body I was done eating. Since I've stopped eating cookies and candy I've been hungrier in the evening. It's bizarre.
So, love yourself for who you are. I've always thought everyone looks great. Skinniness doesn't equal happiness. I'm out.

Monday
Breakfast- last bowl of multigrain cheerios (I need new cereal, cheerios are not enough)
Exercise- rollerblading pushing Dylan around Liberty Park 30 min about 3.75 miles. It was an awesome workout especially for my butt and inner thighs. They were burning before I got a quarter of the way around.
Walked to the library 2 miles.
Lunch/snacks- apple, granola bar, chips and salsa
Dinner-a helping of some Italian bake thingy I made.
Melissa-
I've considered joining you on your quest to stop the sugar until Cozumel. I've been testing myself all day; walking past the Easter candy without snitching any. I've thought about being more reasonable than none at all and saying I have Sundays and birthdays off. Wes laughed. At my joining you and my stipulations. Then I had 3 jr mints and 1 of those small reeces eggs, and I felt horrible guilty. So, I'm going to support you with holidays off. Does syrup count?

Friday-Sunday
Friday
Breakfast- 2 packets of plain oatmeal, but I put white sugar on it
Lunch- bread bowl with minestrone soup (ate all but the bottom of the bowl), 1/2 a brownie that was originally the size of 3 brownies
Exercise- skiing until my quads were cramping and twitching and I couldn't anymore
Dinner- 2 rolls, 2 helpings of cheesy potatoes, ham (that I kept snacking on repeatedly all night), asparagus, some weird dessert thing with ice cream, reeces peanut butter egg
Saturday
Breakfast- bowl of multigrain cheerios
Lunch- vegetable soup, 2 rolls, quite a bit of brownie, some of Wes' fries
Exercise- skiing (not so much exercise, but we had a lot of fun)
Dinner- sirloin kabob with vegetables (didn't finish any of it), a scone with honey butter, peanuts, robin eggs and I drank a lot of Dr. Pepper that day
Sunday
Fast Sunday
Dinner- 2 helpings of cheesy potatoes, 2 rolls, ham, asparagus, robin eggs
Gained 2 pounds this week, my work outs were lame and I ate like it was Easter weekend. But I didn't gain any body fat, so I like to think maybe it was all quad muscle. Will someone please vouch that I don't have an eating disorder?

Wednesday
Breakfast-bowl of multigrain cheerios
Snack-2 crescent rolls (this is why I can't leave food on my counters, I eat it)
Exercise- ran 3 miles, cleaned house for 2 hours (I count this because I get sweaty)
Dinner- 1 slice of homemade chicken alfredo pizza (not low fat), 5 oreos, and some robin eggs
Also for the record, I drink loads of milk all day. I really only drink water at dinner, but I go through about 2 gallons/week on my own.
Note: that pilates gymball workout was worthless, I wasn't sore after and it didnt' get my heartrate up

Friday-Tuesday
I went too long without posting. I have no idea what I ate Friday-Sunday.
Friday
4 mile run
Saturday
Lazy, lazy slacker. No work out, but I did ride horses Saturday and Sunday and was really sore after.
Monday
Breakfast- bowl of multigrain cheerios
Exercise- ran 4 miles 5.0-6.3 mph, walked to library 2 miles
Lunch- chips and salsa
Dinner- 1/2 pork chop, pasta, green beans, crescent roll, 2 oreos
Tuesday
Breakfast- bowl of multigrain cheerios
Exercise- 50 minute pilates video (very not aerobic, as in at all. I guess we'll see if I'm sore tomorrow) Mowed and edged the lawn.
Lunch- chips and salsa
Dinner- 1/2 chicken breast, no rice it smelled disgusting, crescent roll, grapes, 1 oreo
To add to my dilusional world, I think that when I'm hungry I pretend that I have sore abs from some awesome workout that I didn't do. Oh, and I weighed in on Sunday. I lost 1 pound and 1% body fat if my parents scale can be trusted.

Thursday
Oh, I was a lazy slacker today. Really, I was tired, I got to bed really late last night.
Breakfast- 2 packets of cinnamon roll oatmeal 320 calories
Lunch/snacks- grapes 62 calories, granola bar 170 calories, chips and salsa 300 calories
Dinner- morroccan chicken let's call it 500 calories
Then I took 1 bite of one of the pasteries from Wes' birthday. ONE BITE. It was delicious.
I did my tae-bo work out today 30 minutes. Not impressive. I plan to get new videos when I next walk to the library. So it needs to be not nasty-windy-rainy.

Self Doubt
I've wavered back and forth on this idea for a long time, but almost all of you have talked to me about it at some point. This is what I learned in school, and it's something I work hard at. I feel like an arrogant b*#%&(@*# that I made this other blog, because maybe Matt has something. Maybe skinny people just don't know. This is what I do know; being skinny isn't a genetic given right, and I'm smug about the fact that I am. I know I've been 10 pounds heavier than this, not pregnant, and have lost it. I've been 10 pounds lighter than this and lost my period. I'm currently 24% body fat, I'd like to be 19%, but we'll see. I don't believe in anything gimmicky, but through diet and exercise. Maybe I'm obsessed. I do posterior pelvic tilts to work my abs while I read. I'm fully crazy if you want to open up the can, which I think I just did. Until now I've offered subtle advise to not let out how bad I am. But it's all out now, and I'll be seriously sad if I'm the only one lose 10 pounds in an effort to help everyone else achieve 10 pounds. I will lose the last remaining curve on my body that hints toward the fact that I'm a girl and not a 12 y/o boy. And maybe everyone will despise me for it. I almost don't want anyone to respond to any posts on this blog, because my help in this extreme hasn't been asked for. But I have to think maybe I do have something to offer. My self-confidence is on a roller coaster.

Confessions of a Closet Anorexic
This is what you'll be thinking after this post.
Most of my philosophy comes from my dad to the never ending annoyance of my mom. Eat less; exercise more. It's a pretty simple mantra, but sometimes easier said than done. Especially when we all have a sweet-tooth. So these are some of the things that I do and think, and for the record you have all seen me eat loads of food and I never throw up. Not even pregnant.
1. For me to lose weight I have to do an intense cardio workout 45-60 minutes/day.
2. I stop eating when I reach the point that I'm not hungry, not full, just no longer hungry.
3. I frequently go to bed hungry. What's the point in eating before bed? They're calories that you aren't going to burn off sleeping. If I'm so hungry I can't handle it I'll eat some grapes or have a glass of milk.
4. I cannot have the mind set of: I worked out today so it's ok if I eat this high fat and calorie ________. You don't deserve anything.
5. Social eating is a killer. When you go out to eat remember point number 2.
6. Don't eat by the clock, or a schedule, or because you should. Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're not.
7. Remember your brain doesn't register thirst as quickly as it does hunger. So really, if you feel hungry, you're probably just thirsty. Have you ever been out to eat with me and have my fly through 4 lemonades before the meal even gets there?
