    meshmallow - Saturday Sep 04, 2010
    (calorie counting)
    Weight: 159.0

     This week has been a busy week, homework assignments are starting to come in, meetings with clubs, figuring out what is going on with said clubs since people don't like responding to my emails anymore of what is going on. >.<

    These past few days have been incredibly stressful for one particular club I'm involved in. People are deciding that they can't do their position anymore, and others are just lazy and schedule events before checking to see if anyone can even do them, leaving me with trying to figure everything out, all while trying to appease everyone else in the club. arg.

    I've eaten panda express more times then I would have liked in the past week. Heck, I've spent more money on food than I would have liked, but having classes so close together it makes it hard to cook something rather than just buy a sandwich on campus. And having a roommate that thinks I don't eat enough because I don't eat 2500kcals a day, who then looks down on me if I don't eat lunch doesn't help me or my wallet either. :(

    This morning was crazy. I didn't realize how long it would take me to do 9 physics problems, and ended up going to bed at 3am. Then somehow I managed to turn my alarm off in my sleep and miraculously woke up 30 min before I had to leave for work at 6:30am. Then having class till 3pm, I don't know how I didn't pass out from exhaustion. (Ok maybe I fell asleep on the bus, and during a quiz ((don't worry I didn't actually have to take the quiz)) and during lab...but only for 3 minutes at a time! I swear! haha)

    EEP. That now seems low. I'm finding it hard to sometimes get in 1200-1400 kcals, some days I'm just not as hungry. Maybe my body wont revolt against me if I only do it once in awhile. -maybe-

    On a positive note, my parents are coming for a visit for the extended weekend. Which means I get to buy groceries! :D

    Wow, you really are busy, too busy. It sounds as if people are expecting you to shoulder at lot of responsibility. I hope that you can work out what is really necessary and what is negotiable. Good luck.

    Today just ended up being a bad day for eating. :/ I gave into hunger and practically bought everything I ate today. Overall the kcal isn't terrible, but they weren't the healthiest options that I could have chosen.

    On a better note, I signed up to take an acrylic painting class for 6 weeks! It's been over 2 years since I've taken any sort of art class and I'm really excited.

    I ate a really late breakfast/lunch today and I'm just not hungry for dinner. :/ Hopefully I don't end up pigging out before I go to bed. 

    I'm finally down below 160 again! Maybe it is only by a little, but its a little milestone none the less. Next goal is to be under 150 by Halloween, 140 by Valentine's day, and finally under 130 by the time school ends in early May.

    My feet are just killing me. I'm really debating about forgoing dinner and just sleeping. But I know that's unhealthy. I'll try and make something but I just don't want to cook any more today. 6.5 hours of making food just takes it outta ya. haha

    Hopefully everyone else's Saturday was enjoyable. :)

    *updated what I ate for dinner. I seriously can't wait until this cake is gone. I keep telling my roommate to eat some but she just wont, so I've managed to eat half of it by myself.

    awww, feel better. You can always have yogurt and oatmeal for dinner. Or 2 eggs hard boiled and some oatmeal might work. Or, an omelette is healthy you can add some veggies in.

    or, some fruit and yogurt...and diet coke if you need to fill yourself up.

    feel better!

    Long day today. Had to go straight from work to class. By noon I was so hungry my insides wouldn't stop trying to digest themselves. Thank goodness I actually had time to eat today. But now I'm not hungry so I can't even think of what I should eat for dinner. Possibly more pasta or just a salad to use up my lettuce before it goes bad.

    And as for that muffin I had yesterday, I'm still baffled at how many calories were crammed into it. I tried finding out how much batter they use for each muffin but I've already forgotten how much of a cup a #6scoop is. Maybe I'll try and remember to look it up at work tomorrow. OHH I get to work an extra 3 hours tomorrow! This means that I get paid more (duh!) and will actually have money to spend on things other than just food and bills!

    There is always a silver lining, if you look for it, extra work = extra money. There is always an exception to the rule, in this case I can't think of the silver lining for the muffin, oh! yes I can, the taste!! Hope you get through your Saturday without feeling too tired, I am sure you will enjoy your Sunday!!

    I failed to record what I ate on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I'm guessing I stayed between the 1200-1800 range for each day.

    Today however I thought I was doing good..then I looked up how many calories were in my blueberry muffin. 520! In 1 muffin! It wasn't even that large!! Time to stop wasting $2 on those things every now and again, and go for the fruit cups instead.

    I also didn't intend on eating all of my pasta, but I turned into a vacuum and couldn't stop eating. :( The stress of already having homework and reading assignments and no books is really getting to me, and I need to stop turning to food for comfort.

    That's a bit much isn't it? They don't look as if they should be that much, but they are usually oversized and have lots of butter in them - that's why they are so yummy! The low fat ones aren't much better they bump up the sugar content to compensate for the lack of fat - it's a lose lose situation. I sounds as if you may need to plan ahead and if possible only cook a serving/s of tempting foods. I only ever cook 2oz/60grams of spaghetti, just enough for me. I wish you luck with all your work, would chewing on no sugar gum help you? - just an idea!

    I almost lost another pound :) but I'm pretty sure thats just water weight right now. :/

    Classes started back up today.  yay. (-sarcasm- >.>) Pretty boring day, except I did call my sister, my grandma, and my mom and dad all just to chat. I've been nagged about not calling often in the past so I thought I would change that this year. Hopefully I'll keep in contact more regularly.

     I found a scale! I can actually have an accurate measurement. YAY! It's my roommates, and I'm going to sneakily keep using it. :D

    Worked 6 hours today with only a 10 minute break. I was only supposed to work 4.75 with a 30 min break...but that didn't happen. :( And I was lifting heavy items again, then going back and forth making sandwiches for a straight 2 1/2 hours. So busy, but such a great workout! The guy I worked with said he was glad that he got someone that actually knew what they were doing, woot for doing a good job!!

     I slept wrong last night and woke up with a sore neck, then at work I had to lift 10-20 lb boxes of food into the freezers. For the first 10 minutes I was pumped thinking I was strengthening my arms, but after about an hour of it I wanted to give up. Thankfully it was only an hour, but now my neck and shoulders ache. :( At least I don't have to do that again tomorrow.

    I keep thinking that I'm hungry, but I know I'm not. This is the one habit I want to kick in the butt, the eating until I'm too full to eat anymore or even move. I just need to keep busy for another few hours before I start making dinner, hopefully I'll finish organizing my room tonight.

    I stayed up freakishly late last night, mostly looking at adorable pictures and videos of cats. haha I only managed to get 3-4 hours of sleep before I woke up, and some how I'm not tired. I know I should start getting ready for bed in a few hours so I'll actually be able to wake up at 5:30am for work.

    Well when I figured that I should make lunch, I started to get out everything to make a hamburger. I was determined to make it tastey, but in the end the vent fan wasn't doing its job and the smoke alarm started to go off. Frantically I started running around the apartment to open windows and set my fan in front of them to blow the smoke out. I stood under the alarm for what seemed like ages just waving a dish rag at it to make it turn off. I managed to salvage my burger and went back to my room to sulk in peace at the fact that I had managed to set the alarm off. Not more than 40 minutes later and the stupid alarm starts going off again! I checked all the burners and opened the windows back up. It wasn't smokey at all and I started to freak out that the whole buildings alarm was going to go off and the fire department was going to show up. D:
    Thankfully it shut off, but I hope it isn't faulty, because I think my roommates are about to start cooking dinner soon and I don't want to hear the annoying beeping anymore for the rest of the year.

    One of my roommates came back and cooked dinner for herself, but she made too much she pawned some of it off on me. I refused the meat, but did eat the corn! Then we made brownies...well I made them as she watched. When they were ready to come out of the oven they started to smoke a little!!! I almost set the alarm off AGAIN!

    So funny, you made me laugh - if only you could have videod that. I hope you pluck up enough courage to cook again. Maybe it needs new batteries. That sounds just like the sort of thing I would do, I once turned on the gas under the grill by mistake and tried to light a top burner, and tried, and tried until the gas had built up so much that there was a big explosion and I ended up with singed hair on my hands and arms and covered in gravy!!!!LOL I have an electric stove stop now!!

    I used to bake cakes a lot...and it was okay as long as I was giving them away or taking them to a social function and not bringing any back home...but when I made them and kept (yeah, what a joke!) them here at home, Hubby might eat one of two pieces and I'd finish off the rest! Needless to say, not often do I bake cakes (unless it is the size of a cupcake) for us to have here at home anymore! :-)

    Oh gosh I know! My dad used to make brownies and cakes all the time when I was home. But that was fine since I would eat 1-2 pieces and then the next day half of it would be mysteriously eaten by the rest of my family. Now I only have my roommate to pawn things off on, a lot more temptation on my part. If only there was a way to make a 1/4 of a cake...too bad they don't make cake pans that small! :P

     Well I just realized that I had at one time been tracking what I've eaten here, and that I should probably start back up again. The weight estimates I previously gave where wrong, because now I really do weigh 165, I gained about 7 pounds over the summer. And all of it was some how in the last month. I think my body is rebelling against me.

    Since my sister is getting married in 9 months, I hope to lose the 40lbs. Which is roughly 1lb a week. Now that I've moved into an apartment and chose to opt out of the meal plan package and buy all my food I can actually monitor what I eat a lot better. I've been calling my future diet the 'I'm poor diet'. :)

    B-I didn't have time for breakfast this morning, big mistake. Working for 3 hours serving delicious smelling food is torture. haha
