1425 Cal Meal Plan, take 2

I haven't posted here in forever. Meanwhile, I've gained a few pounds. GREAT. :P So I'm going to make a renewed effort to blog, and restart my meal plan. Starting summer school, getting a new job, moving, losing the new job and starting fall semester kind of disrupted everything... but now I'm back, and ready for a healthy routine again!!

I'm going to try to make this simple, but with some options, so I can eat it every day and not get bored. (note: this is a work in progress)

Juice (Orange, Grape, Apple)
Yogurt (Whips, ?)
Fruit (pineapples, pears)

Lunch [375 max]
Sandwich (Peanut Butter on wheat (190 + 180= 370); 1 slice of turkey, 1 of colby jack cheese on wheat; tuna on wheat)
Soup (Campbell's)

Edamame
Carrot Sticks

Dinner [490 max]

Lots of Food

I've been eating a lot of fatty food this week... May actually have gained weight come Tuesday. :\ Stressed about the wedding I'm attending next weekend and our move at the end of June! Will have to work doubly hard next week!

Weight Loss

Despite participating in the 5 week frenzy (trying to lose 2 lbs every week), I seem to be hovering around losing 1 lb per week, and I'm ok with that. As long as I'm consistently losing SOMETHING, I'll be happy. :)

Assuming that I do lose 1 lb per week, and taking into account that I'm at 149.4 now, it should take me about 19 weeks to get down to 130. That's almost 5 months, around October '09. So I won't quite be at my target weight in time for my boyfriend's mom's wedding, but I'll be damn close. :)

When I lose 25 lbs...

I will buy myself a pair of Christian Louboutins pumps in nude. :) Have to start saving (and losing)!

Cooking

I think I'm done with it for now. Maybe just Mondays and Fridays I could cook, but T/W/Th, eating out all the way. I am SO exhausted after a full day of work and then yoga til 10, I can barely move. I just have to find a place that's open late enough to accommodate M getting out of work at 11-12 at night...

Current Exercise Regimen

Personal Training - 1-2x/week (W and/or F)
Gym (elliptical) - 3-4x/week (M, sometimes F, Sat, Sun)
Yoga - 3-4x/week (T, W, Th, sometimes Sun)

Hopefully when we move I'll be closer to a pool and can add swimming once a week to the mix! I also purchased a bosu ball and weights, so I'm going to try to work on my abs and arms every morning. :)
