Okay so last night I was freaking out a little, I thought just for kicks I would monitor (unofficially) what I was eating. You know cause I have this fantasy that I don't eat that much, and a magical mean little troll with a vengeance against me has not let me "lose all this baby weight". Isn't creating your own reality fun... I like it, no responsibility, no pressure.
Anyhoo, it goes like this.
morning-- 6 cups of coffee cream and sugar = 3 grams of fat, 300 calories (holy rusted metal batman!)
midmorning (had to work) --omelet with tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, sausage, , 2 cups coffee cream and sugar= 70 grams of fat, 817 calories
Well so far for breakfast I have had 80% of my daily caloric requirements and surpassed my fat grams, yeah for me, I am an overachiever.
Lunch--- wasn't hungry... could have something to do with waiting till 11am and then eating.... but I had some coffee with cream and sugar... .1 grams of fat, 150 calories, oh and an orange thats good right!
dinner-- pasta casserole and meatballs (this is not looking good), and 2 glasses of soda 16 grams of fat and 890 calories
grand total= 19.1 grams of fat and 2157 calories.... oh crud!
What that's like a day and a half. dang! That's really frustrating, and really I didn't think I was eating that badly...
Well I know if I go extreme I can get results, but I will probably burn out... I am however going to drop the sugar in my coffee... maybe nearly completely. I see alot of sugar intake and seems like I am lovin' that fatty food. I am going to have to find alternatives...
Lookin at yesterday makes me wonder how it is that I convinced my daughter to eat so much fruit in a day when clearly I don't eat any myself. This is a big wake up call! probably worse than seeing myself on video! And to think I was going to make mama's gravy and light bread this morning.
I think also that I will probably keep my food diary going, probably not on the blog, this was too hard to go public with. Also I think I am going to make healthy alternatives for my favorites, those I will post here..
thanks for listening

Hi Shelley -
I can tell that we're going to have some fun together on this In-Shape Challenge. I've enjoyed reading your blog. Congratulations on being selected. I'm looking forward to meeting you at orientation.
Sincerely,
Lisha Hunnicutt (fellow teammate)
Shelley,
Congrats on the appointment for change. I will be cheering you on from Woodlake, praying for your steady progression to your goals. (read Psalm 37:4) I know the real Shelley (and Dave) and hope to see them soon.
Those food diaries are brutal aren't they! Ive tried and failed miserably and choose to live in denial of my low fruit/veggies and erratic carb ingestion. Maybe you will inspire me to face the reality of food in my life.
Be blessed and tremendous success on your new venture.
Lets head south again this summer and show off the "New You" to Drew ;-D. YODA
