Day 77 - 11 weeks!i have been CRAZY busy this week! which is a good thing cuz that means money money money in my pocket....or my bank account for my bills. the days have all been long but its always more worth it when they are. unfortunately i made some bad eating choices but there's not much i can do but learn from them and change my habits. after i ate bad on wednesday i decided i need to stop eating chocolate for a bit and not take anything unhealthy home from the sets. one reason i ate so bad was because i was awake for about 20 hours that day. work went from 4pm to 4 am, and the shoot was a little over an hour away from my apt so i didnt get to bed til about 6am. i felt i needed to eat to stay awake and energized, with sugar and carbs....and it was freakin cold out and we barely had any heat (seriously, like 48 degrees at night is cold!). today was the second time i ate bad which also was in part because of the long day. i started at 630am and we finished at 9pm. the thing i want to change from today is that no matter what is offered for lunch, i need to only eat a small amount. on a normal day i eat many small 300-400 cal meals. but today we had a buffet lunch and i just took a little bit of everything and had like 1000 cals at lunch (roast beef, potatoes, rice, veggies, fruit, a roll, and a few fries) cuz i was so hungry from not eating for such a long time and then not knowing how long it would be til i could again. it was a rather healthy meal but since i sampled everything it added up. so what i need to do from now on is always make sure i have granola bars handy and even if there is a plentiful meal served i need to still have a small amount. cuz what happens to me is that i will still get hungry in 4 hours or so. just cuz i eat a lot doesnt mean i'm going to be full for much longer, its just means that i will have more put into storage in my body. and when i got home i was starving again and ate too much then too. so i need to stick with my mini meals no matter what cuz thats what works for me. on a more exciting note, on mon and tues i worked on a movie starring jim carrey (and on tue he was about 15 ft away from me!) and then today i worked on a movie starring zac efron (so i was in the same room as him for most of the day)! haha, good times.  so the big challenge is coming up. i'm going up to san francisco for an undetermined amount of days. my goals are to not spend too much money and to not eat like an idiot. i also think i'm going to take a break from recording in my food diary since i dont want to stress about it while i'm on vacation. besides, i wont be eating a lot of the foods i usually do, which are in my diary for easy access, so it will be a pain in the butt to record all these new foods that dont have nutrition labels on them. basically, i just want to take a break from it and i'll go back to it once i return home....whenever that is. but that doesnt mean i'm going to be careless....i'm just not going to be anal.  happy weekend everyone!
