Weighted Goals

4.2.2019/118

118lb

I was debating whether or not to eat breakfast this morning. In my logic, there are pros and cons to both.

Skipping Breakfast:
Pros: less calories.
Cons: when it's time to have lunch, I feel the need to compensate the calories by having an extra large lunch. This is not ideal. I have soccer practice after school, and I don't like my stomach to be jiggling in those 2 hours.

Eating Breakfast:
Pros: I eat less for lunch.
Cons: more calories.

Aren't there studies that show that if a person skips breakfast, they are more likely to be overweight? A couple of months ago, I asked a couple of people If they ate breakfast, and surprisingly, this study was true in my school. Those who skipped breakfast were the heavier ones. The skinniest ones were the ones who ate a small breakfast, like having a banana or a granola bar or something. I decided to do the same:

Breakfast:
2/3 cup of honey bunches of oats (115)
1/3 cup almond milk (25)
Breakfast Total: 140

Mini-Goal:
I should stop snacking. Lately, I've been snacking way too much. This is due to a huge number of reasons: In the beginning of the year, I was required to sell chocolates for a fundraiser. We were required to sell one box, but I was being extra so I decided to try and sell the most boxes of chocolate in the school (I did- I sold 8). This was not good for my health or my waistline. Since I was constantly carrying a box of chocolate bars around, I was constantly eating them, probably about 3 to 5 a day. I went from 110 pounds to 118 in a couple of months... Not good. I stopped selling chocolates, so I'm hoping that will help.

Lunch:
Large cheese pizza from school cafeteria (420)
Sliced pickles (15)
Yoplait Cherry Low-Fat Whipped Yogurt (140)
Lunch Total: 575

Snack:
Chips (450)
Banana (80)
Snack Total: 530

I entirely screwed up on snacks. I ate the chips and banana at 7:00 after I went grocery shopping with my sister. I was doing so good until then! By the way, a normal banana is not 80 calories, but my mother took a gigantic bite of mine, so yeah. I just love how I didn't even have dinner yet but I'm already at my 1300 calorie limit. I'm debating on whether or not to skip dinner or not. If I do, I'll probably feel better about myself, but my mother got home the same time I did, and she's a stickler for eating every meal.

I guess I have to go over on my calorie limit again- should I change the limit to 1500 or no? If I push it up to 1500 the same problems would probably persist, so I'm just going to keep it at 1300.

Last week, the plan for myself was to add a sticker to my planner for every day I stay under my allotted calories. However, it's been a week, and no stickers have been stuck on my planner.

I have a naked planner, which is great. Better luck tomorrow, right?

Dinner:
Chicken kebob (250)
2/3 cup white rice (150)
Dinner Total: 400

I forgot that I had 1.5 hrs of soccer practice. I'm not going to put that in my calorie count, but it certainly is going to make me feel better about myself.

Total Calories: 1645
