I am glad you are feeling better. I hope you have a wonderful time with your mom. I suppose one advantage to not having breakfast was that you got to have ice cream as a special snack. I hope you have a better night tonight.


liza36 on 08/11/2010:
Have a great time with your Mom!


hollybelle on 08/11/2010:
Daughter had slight fever on Monday and felt "icky", too. Hope all better now! You are doing well. Enjoy Mom.

 Another loss. Yay. Obviously survived the weekend.

Yesterday I ended up eating somewhat little, but I woke up late and my late lunch was pretty big, so I wasnt hungry.

Dessert: 1 ikea non fat vanilla frozen yogurt cone 100

Sub: 485

S: yogurt 110

D: steamed chicken and veggies with rice 600

Progress as of today - 9.4 lbs lost so far, only 16.6 lbs to go!

Nice loss! Keep it up.

Congratulations to you! :-)


moogy on 08/09/2010:
It is always nice to find something that is filling, nice and doesn't cost too many calories. Well done.

Had another snack and then drinks last night. Luckily this morning i weighted the exact same number as yesterday. So it obviously takes more than one 'misbehaving episode' to ruin your diet.

Woke up late so I went straight to lunch.

L: chicken sandwich with salad 800

S: frozen yogurt 150 with fresh strawberries and blueberries 50 and granola 100 - 300

D: yogurt 110

T: 1210

Progress as of today - 8.2 lbs lost so far, only 17.8 lbs to go!

V on 08/08/2010:
Although I plan to keep my misbehaving to a minimum on vacation, it is good to hear because I am sooooo looking forward to having a drink or two :) have a good evening!


moogy on 08/09/2010:
I agree with you an occassional splurge doesn't seem to have an adverse affect on an otherwise good eating program. It is as if the body is in losing mode and just keeps going. I also know that a couple of episodes does have a affect. I am glad you enjoyed yourself and escaped a gain.

 Another tiny loss. :)

I don't know about you girls, but i have a lot of emotions that become stronger when I am dieting and losing weight than when I am just eating carelessly and gaining.

Yesterday I had extremely low on calls when I decided to make some baked chips (with only a little olive oil) with some potatoes i had to use. I ate them and then since they weren't amazing, just good, i had this crisis. I felt so bad and like I was sabotaging my diet, which is completely insane thinking. It literally made no sense, since WITH the chips I was only around 1200 cals (then i relaxed and had a beer hahaha). 

But just wanted to share that lunatic feeling I had yesterday. Ew.

BTW, I dont post it but I have been drinking tones of water and tea.

B: yogurt 110

L: chicken (from a pouch), avocado and tomato, all fresh, just chopped with a little salt and pepper and lime. Yummy and very light.  390

D: caprese sandwich 650

geevee on 08/07/2010:
I sure miss beer.


nenak on 08/07/2010:
i love beer


moogy on 08/07/2010:
I think most of us are overweight because we eat instead of feeling pain. Whatever has caused the pain, usually subconsious by now, triggers us to eat food to comfort ourselves, thus, when we eat we feel better (at least for a while). When we diet we no longer squash down the feelings by eating and so we feel emotions much stronger. It is a good thing, those feelings need to be tracked down and sorted out or at least acknowledged. Feeling pain and having a good cry is ultimately much better for us than eating to comfort ourselves. When those feelings of panic, anxiety or whatever it is come up sit down and try and work through the feeling rather than run to the kitchen. I hope this info helps.


2luvself on 08/07/2010:
I totally went through the same crazy mind set yesterday over some silly banana Popsicle. Sometimes I can be such an emotional wingbat.

Glad you had a great healthy day yesterday! How do you make your sweet potato fries? I've baked mine but frankly have never been thrilled w/the results but I love the flavor.


just42day on 08/06/2010:
Thanks for the kind words and recipe. I will check it out the next time I buy sweet potatoes.

Horn_Of_Plenty on 08/07/2010:
HI! I haven't seen your updates in days! I seem to miss them whenever you post. I like your menu above, nice small meals planned. :-) Meals and snacks always help me to lose weight!


Horn_Of_Plenty on 08/07/2010:

Another great day of lots of veggies and fruits and little of the rest.

Good exercise too. 

 

I had gotten my period last week, so I think I was retaining a lot of water (as I usually do) and this week the effort of the last 3 is showing. Great!

You're down another lb! Fabulous! Hope your day is filled with happiness and fruits & veggies. :)


2luvself on 08/05/2010:
Are you feeling good emotionally, Hows life been treating you?


skinnygrlwithin on 08/05/2010:
That's really good to hear!! Yay for the weight loss!!


2luvself on 08/05/2010:
Well after my mom passed in March from the sudden heart attack I was pretty devastated and had a really bad go of things financially for a while. I was pretty brocken in all honesty. But I am changing it all around and for the first time in many many years I feel like I am not just sitting by letting my hurt control me. I feel like the dedication this time is as real as it has ever gotten and I can really feel the need for it in my life. Where as before I was just doing it to lose the weight. But this time I am doing the exercise because I need to work through the depression. They say exercise is the equivalent of taking an anti-depressant in the day. And since I choose not to be on medication I can truely notice the difference when I don't move my body for a few days. Before I seemed to have major set backs emotionally where little things could ruin a whole week. This time round I am rebounding from bad events within a day. Tyler is happier for it too. I guess I just really need to start anew. Really try and find the good in life. Since who knows I could pass of a sudden heart attack like my mother or grandmother at a early age and why should I waist my life feeling fat and miserable. Times too precious to me now.


loveray on 08/05/2010:
good work this week! so glad you are feeling happier in your own skin. love to you!


legcramps on 08/05/2010:
Good job!

Yay! You're weight is down again. Good for you!


2luvself on 08/04/2010:
AWEEEEESOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! I know how hard it can be to try again and again. I lost the weight too about 2 years ago and gained it all back. But thats just the way it goes you try and try again until you find something that works that you can stick to.


V on 08/04/2010:
You are doing such a great job! So proud of you :)


moogy on 08/04/2010:
Under the 200 congratulations. You are doing a good job of being in control of the food.


2luvself on 08/04/2010:
Yeah I remember when you were at your lowest I was sorta in a race with you in 2008 since we were at the same weight. I think you were under that other name and you were still going back and forth between loving that Tom fellow and hating him at the same time.


2luvself on 08/04/2010:
Jon-Tom lol sounds the same a little I guess

 veggies, fruits, baked potato, etc is the lunch plan today.

 

made potato chips on the oven, with no butter, just a little of the Pam spray. well, it's definitely the butter and salt that makes it so good. mine were blah. but i am pretty sure i can develop a way to make them delicious. maybe melt a little of the fake butter and put some herbs on it. i will make more trials in the weeks to come.

Progress as of today - 4 lbs lost so far, only 22 lbs to go!

WI3 on 08/01/2010:
I LOVE to make sweet potato chips with pam and then roasted red peppers..the sweet/spicy taste is awesome! Have a wonderful day!


KathyBlue on 08/01/2010:
Try to make rice instead ! :)


moogy on 08/01/2010:
How about sprinkling them with garlic salt and some chopped rosemary?


moogy on 08/01/2010:
If you wanted to go Italian, you could try oregano and a little grated parmesan - you wouldn't need much to get great flavour.


V on 08/01/2010:
Or you could make them spicy with some chili powder


moogy on 08/01/2010:
Or middle eastern with coriander powder and cumin, we could go on like this forever, these oven baked chips are going to be fabulous in the end!!
