Day 87
I weighed today, and have lost the few pounds that I've gained back, plus another half a pound! It's crazy, because a couple weeks ago, when I weighed just a half a pound more, I felt way different. I feel great right now, and am excited to keep going in the same direction!

Lunch:
"Moo Moo Mr. Cow" Burrito kid's meal from Moe's 700

Day 85
Since I have some time off of work due to my recent injury, my mom offered to take me on an overnight trip to Lancaster county. Now, I have come to realize that when I go out to eat with my mother, I need to be extra careful. When I am with her, I tend to eat too much, even if I think I am eating healthy at the time. I knew going into this that we would be eating at buffets not only once, but twice. So today, before we left, I ate a low-calorie breakfast, hoping to compensate for the rest of my day. My plan for dinner was to eat as many vegetables and lean proteins as possibly, though I did end up cheating a little. In the end, there is no real way to know the exact number of calories for my dinner, but I think I did OK. I weighed in this morning before I left, and hope to come back the same weight or less.
Breakfast:
One Greek yogurt 150
Dinner:
Buffet...mainly vegetables, and proteins (with one dessert) 900?
Total:
1050
Day 84
Not too much to say today. For some reason, I didn't have much of an appetite, and I know I didn't eat nearly enough.
Breakfast:
Two eggs with homefries 500
Dinner:
Some leftover chicken Parmesan 200

Day 83
I have performed a miracle. That's right, I have stopped time for over a week...on my blog anyway. A few days ago I burned my hand at work, and have been doing nothing but eating and sleeping since. I had problems with the meds the hospital prescribed me, so it has really been a mess. Before today, I haven't counted a calorie or weighed in over a week. I was feeling a little better today, so I cleaned myself up and decided to get on the scale. I am praising the Lord that I've only gained half a pound. It really is a miracle. I've eaten all sorts of delicious high-calorie foods in the past week, so I got on the scale prepared for a gain of 5 pounds or more. This really was an incredible blessing, especially after everything I've been through the past few days. This is what made me decide to hop right back on the wagon and pick up where I left off. I could go back and try to add in the days that I have missed, but I don't see any point in that.
Breakfast:
Two eggs 200
Snack:
One Greek yogurt 150
Dinner:
Half chicken parmesan dinner with a side salad 600

Day 81
Today was my day off, so I made breakfast at home, and was out and about running errands all day. I went out for dinner later with my mom to a little Italian restaurant. I ordered Chicken Parmesan, which of course came with a ton of other stuff. I ate the salad and some of the appetizer, the dessert, and just a few bites of the meal. This way, I still got to enjoy what I like, but it didn't cost me my calories for two days. So many people think that "going on a diet," or "trying to lose weight" means giving up eating foods that they enjoy. I have found that this theory is NOT true at all. It is possible to eat the foods that you love everyday, as long as you are paying attention to your calories and portion sizes.
Breakfast:
Two eggs with some cheese 230
Lunch:
Sour cream and onion bagel with reduced fat cream cheese 430
Dinner:
Side Caesar salad 200
One piece of bruscetta 150
A few bites of chicken Parmesan 200
Dessert
Mini canolli 70

Day 80
I opened today, which means getting up at 3:30AM. I am not normally hungry on mornings when I open, because it's so early, but I usually eat something small anyway because I know it will be about 6 hours before I can eat again. This morning however, I was VERY hungry, so I ate a lot for breakfast, and figured I would eat light the rest of the day. Around 7:30, my co-worker made a smoothie for me, (made with real fruit,) so that was second breakfast today. I'm not really sure how many calories it was, but I am allowing 300. I also didn't finish it all, so I'm hoping that helps shave a few calories off. My plan for eating light today kind of went down the drain, even though I ate mostly healthy items. I was just very hungry today, and since I ate so much in the morning, I am a little over on calories, but not by much.

Everything bagel with reduced fat cream cheese 430
Bacon, egg, and cheese wake up wrap from Dunkin Donuts 210

Day 76
Guess who was Panera's number one employee for the month of July? You guessed it, yours truly! Today I was told that I am employee of the month for the month of July. I was really shocked and blown away by this, considering I have only been with the company just under six months, and there are about 60 employees at my location. It truly is an honor that I do not take lightly. Receiving this title has really refreshed me as an employee, and encourages me to keep going and do even better.

I wanted to eat really light today, so for lunch, I tried one of Panera's strawberry granola parfaits. I've never tried one before, and I'm not sure why. Now that I've had one, I am pretty sure I am hooked. It was very delicious, and way better than I thought it would be. And only 310 calories!
