LOL. so today is definitely a new day. i slept really late, nice! till almost 10am. when i woke up, i felt like i had been hit by a huge truck. the jogging last night right before bed and eating of crap before but not after left my body beat! but that's quite alright. i reached for a most strange breakfast of a light vitamin water drink, blueberries, a red pepper, and a tomato. i didn't have much veggies yesterday and i missed them. i started eating after 10, so i figured this would be fine, and also help move all the crap i ate out of my system a little faster. tonight i'm going to drink a laxative tea i have, bc i don't want to leave for israel monday morning still bloated! that would be the worst!
breakfast: 225 fruits/veggies/drink. + 50 on more vitamin waters
lunch: eggwhite, wheat/fiber roll, avocado....and diet drink and/or vitamin water.225
total up to here: 550
at fire island: 2nd lunch/early dinner around 4ish after much walking: tuna sashimi, seaweed salad, and two small triangle shaped fried dough things w. spices galore: around 650...the portions were TINY.
happy 4th. stay healthy, stay happy.
late dinner 8:30: many more diet drinks, large whole packet light tofu and a tomato w. dressing for everything: little under 300.
total today: around 1500. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS AMOUNT. WAS DIFFICULT BASED ON THE CHOICES. SPENT THE DAY WITH MY AWESOME FRIEND CHRISTINE, WHO HELPED ME WITH ALL OF MY PACKING. I CAN'T THANK HER ENOUGH! :)
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 16 lbs to go!
4000 cal today. tomorrow's a new day. sat around most of today, really i did. but, after a talk on the phone with a friend of mine, and knowing i couldn't possibly eat more unless, well, let's not say unless! but, i decided to go for a 5.5 mile walk and boy, it was worth it. i ended up jogging the first 2.5 miles of it and i haven't jogged in awhile, like, a few weeks. it wasn't the easiest with all the food in me, but i'm glad i got off my ass.
soon enough, monday morning, i'll be on a 12 hour flight and i won't be able to exercise...so i feel bad NOT getting it in beforehand. :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i almost reached for more food after my filling breakfast...i think i ate it too fast. glad i didn't get anything else to eat!
8:30 breakfast: egg white/oatmeal combo 210, yogurt 90, 1/2 cup blueberries 40, cinnamon: 340 :) healthy.
11:30 lunch: sandwich: roll w. fiber 100, tofu 50, avocado 150, tomatoes on the side 50?, yogurt 90. total : 440 fine :)....eh, more avocado on roll: 350 total here: 790...followed by ice cream 620. whatever, as long as i eat within a normal calorie range, i don't care right now...better to give into some temptation....total: 1410 for lunch 1750 UP TO HERE...
more binging: 4 more fiber rolls 400, coconut sorbet 220, BAGEL (OLD, BEEN IN THE REFRIG. BUT I MICROWAVED IT, WITH CREAM CHEESE) 500, DRIED FRUIT 400 OR SO. TOTAL HERE: 1520 (NOT GONNA BE A GOOD DAY...)
CALORIES SO FAR: 3270 AND LOTS BLUEBERRIES 3500....FIRST BINGE SINCE JUNE 6.
dinner:
totally i have a wax appt and then i'll probably take a morning walk, followed by lunch, then a trip to the store to buy some necessary items for my trip! :)
then, definitely more exercise later, and laying everything out to pack...yuck, packing!
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 16 lbs to go!
The Fiber One Fulfill bars are quite tasty & filling. My husband picked them up for me - I hadn't heard of them either!
tired today but other than that my day is going swell...........very well.
woke up with less of an appetite, stomach slightly bloated from yesterday. but, i made sure to have something satisfying and substantial.
breakfast: 350: oatmeal/egg mixture, 1/8 avocado, yogurt
snack: vitamin waters 50
lunch: not in the mood for anything but chips...so chips and coffee. blah. 250 and this guy gave me a tiny pretzel sesame stick thing.
snack: was starving. 3 yogurts 270, my famous oatmeal/egg 210 w. cinnamon: 480
total before dinner: 1150 fine!
dinner: 2 big red peppers100, lots of salad w. light dressing100, microwavable eggplant rollettes by celentano 350 if you're interested to look it up(one of my favorite hit the spot meals.) 550 total.
total today: a bit higher than expected but TOTALLY FINE: 1700 totally fine.
2 day average between wed/thurs: 2125. ok. will do. can't fight it! :)
tomorrow plan: 10am waxing lol might be TMI, pick up the things i need at a discount drug store for this trip (who doesn't hate packing!?), and get EVERYTHING laid out....taking a break to walk at the park if i need one (rather than eat). i have tomorrow off, so no worries. it should not be difficult for me to get everything packed! :)
no exercise today, my body is enormously tired. was wheeling and pushing patients all day. tomorrow i will make sure i get a good amount of exercise in! :)
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 16 lbs to go!
2550 cal today. not terrible, but it demonstrates i still have a lot to work on when it comes to nervous, stress, boredom, and procrastination eating! glad i didn't eat anymore than that. new day tomorrow, and luckily i'll be in school for most of it! :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
EDIT: PROUD, EVEN THOUGH I F-ED UP, TO SAY THIS DAY WAS HARDLY A BUST TO MY WEIGHTLOSS PLAN. I WILL END TODAY IN THE 2500's WHICH IS HARDLY THAT TERRIBLE AND NOWHERE NEAR THE HIGH CAL DAYS I HAD EARLY LAST MONTH. LAST REAL BLOWN OUT BINGE WAS JUNE 6 AND THAT'S A WAYS AWAY...AND I'M GONNA KEEP IT THAT WAY. TODAY WAS CLOSE, WHEW. GLAD I DIDN'T ROYALLY SCREW UP ANY WORSE! HOWEVER, I'M NOT EVEN COUNTING TODAY AS A BINGE. SO, IT WILL REMAIN THAT MY LAST ONE WAS STILL JUNE 6TH.
DOING WELL, I WILL NOT LOSE MOMENTUM ESPECIALLY SINCE I'LL BE ON VACATION THIS MONDAY. AND WITH ALL THE EXERCISE, I FULLY INTEND WHILE TOURING TO LOSE WEIGHT AND, IF NOT REMAIN CONSTANT, DEFINITELY NOT GAIN. THIS MORNING I WEIGHED 136 ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. THAT IS GOOD NEWS. IT'S THE LOWEST I'VE BEEN IN A COUPLE MONTHS. SO I AM MAKING PROGRESS. AND LIKE I'VE TOLD OTHERS ON HERE, PROGRESS WILL NOT BE MADE OVERNIGHT. SO I MUST STAY PATIENT WITH MYSELF TO BE SUCCESSFUL ON MY SECOND ROUND OF WEIGHTLOSS IN MY LIFETIME, AND HOPEFULLY MY LAST (UNLESS I DECIDE TO BECOME PREGNANT ONE DAY...LOL)
like i stated before, i sat around most of today but in the afternoon/evening went to do some exercise. 2.5 mile walk, a bike ride to and from the gym, and 20 min elliptical. good stuff. abs, back, pushups. i actually had no exercise the previous 2 days but i moved around enough during the day for it to be ok.
goodnight. take care everyone. seems we are all busy and there is less frequent posting on DD these past few days/weeks. as an oldie, i know that it must just be this time of year. :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
day off. lounging around a bit this morning. feeling tired. later i need to do some errands, shop for clothes. got in a fight with my mom, she thought she was doing me a tremendous favor going shopping for clothes for my trip. so now i'm going to have to do it today since she thought it was an effort she shouldn't have made. ehh. nevermind that, all is good. i have time. and friday i'll do most of my packing. Monday is my trip.
breakfast: large and filling. oatmeal mixed with eggwhites (very good idea to make oatmeal even more filling), yogurt, 1/4 avocado: 400
snack: yogurts and blueberries. 380, pretzels 220, large bagel 400, dried fruit, cereal, milk: 350 total here: 1350
more snacking: sorbet: 350, ice cream 300 total 650
total so far: 2400.
snack:
snack:
dinner:
not aiming at too low cal today. i don't do well when i'm home, so anything even 2,200 will be perfectly acceptable to me today :)
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 16 lbs to go!
Focuss on your trip & the progress you are making - I'm excited for you on both accounts!!!
Great day so far everyone.
breakfast: light yogurt, whole wheat roll toasted w. 1/8 avocado, 1/4 cup egg, black pepper on egg: 320 or so
snacks: vitamin waters 25
lunch: powerbar and coffee 300
snack: full bar (google it if you're interested! :-) and lots of diet drinks (gotta do what i gotta do...) 220 total
total before dinner: 870
dinner: will be good, light. extra fiber i need. still really bloated. maybe just veggies and tofu...not sure....but that is what i think i'm gonna do...HEALTHY 600
approx total for today: 1470. FINE. NO EXERCISE, CAME HOME AT 8PM EXHAUSTED!
meeting my mom later for some quick shopping, then exercise, then taking tomorrow off for some necessary preparations for my upcoming trip! wahoo!
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 17 lbs to go!
was a great weekend, no overeating. my modem died so i had to wait until i came to school to go to the library to get on the internet!!!! all is good.
breakast: light yogurt, whole wheat roll 160, egg white 15, avocado 100 total: 370 (6:30-7am usually)
snack: waters of the flavored, more satisfying variety...haha.
lunch: same as above, with coffee, and no yogurt: 330 nice....(at 12 which is my preferred, not 1pm lol)
snack: too late, almost 5:30pm.... very small banana w. a special hemp fiber drink (12 grams fiber). made with ice and unsweatened almond milk. was a nice chocolate flavored shake 200 cal. due to my uncle being here and just leaving after 4 days as well as going to the funeral and just making sure i was around for my family somewhat i got nervous i guess to the point of not really going #2 very well the past 4-5 days!!! this almost never happens. another reason to eat MUCH more fiber and quit eating all the refined, fiberless things i have been munching for the past 2 months or so. i was on a potato chip kick every workday for lunch with coffee. you can safely assume i will not be continuing this pattern. I miss eating all the healthy fibrous breads i had before i started eating whatever was in my house, which is usually healthy, but obviously not always healthy enough. so i may have to purchase some bread/rolls later if none are left. and you can safely assume they will have a nice bit of fiber!
dinner: i will write this early as i still have no internet service. so i stopped by my town library. veggies and something microwavable. 350-400 cal.
total calories will be 1200s-1300s. nice.
EXERCISE: ehh, i will keep it light as my day is later than i planned. tonight will be easy, like 30 min on elliptical or a bike ride if the weather improves.
exercise was fantastic all weekend, especially yesterday. i walked for miles then did the elliptical for 40 min as well as pushups, back, and abs.
taking tuesday off from school to get ready for my israel trip next Monday! excited. and, looking foward to the 4th of July weekend. :)
have a good day...will comment at lunch on your diaries.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 17 lbs to go!
defintiely somewhat tired this morning. body is a little bit sore, too. otherwise, doing good. i changed my weight again, lowered it about a pound. the scale didn't exactly say it but i weighed at night and after eating a lot - so i can assume this is my new weight.
breakfast: 2 light yogurts, blueberries 260. good. almost reached for more but i realized it was more anxiety and feeling tired than hungry!
snack: not sure if i will.
lunch: a pizza place with my friend....i'll get a LARGE diet soda and a small something or other! lol.
snack: later...no clue, with my friend...
dinner: not at all sure! :)
exercise: walking around today at a nature place with a visiting friend.
today is obviously up in the air!
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 17 lbs to go!
Have you started seeing the psychologist yet? Don't answer until I write a more recent post. I'm coming back to DD soon.
Enjoy your day!
edit: Great day today! i'm really proud of myself, actually. usually, i will totally binge and screw up after going to some kind of outing or gathering, especially if it's with people that aren't my "best" friends. well, i DIDN'T screw up today! no. i'm so pleased and content with how this day went. then i had a bbq with family and ate really healthy. yeah, lots of cals. but really healthy. a hamburger and then TONS of veggies. around 800.
total cal today: 1800.
exercise: bike 20 min, 2.5 mile walk, 10 min elliptical, back, pushups, abs.
wonderful, successful, day.
cheers to many more.
tomorrow i'm giving my friend a tour of some of Long Island. should be a wonderful weekend.
cheers to continuing my journey and being the best i can be!
today's a new day right!?
darn this damn picnic i have to go to with my class. but best part, i live the closest, in walking distance. some people will drink, but not i. not during the day. i'd absolutely ruin my day doing that. then, exercise might be difficult later, etc.
breakfast: peach 60, yogurt 80, bread 110, avocado 100, egg 60, black pepper. total: 410. i needed something substantial....glad i had this breakfast, made it so i didn't binge at the school bbq at the park! :)
snacking: at bbq? LOTS of coke zero, veggies from the veggie platter i brought (thank gosh...it was the ONLY healthy thing on the table!!!! :) happy about that!) 100, shot of tequila 100, mikes hard lemonade bottle 250 total at the bbq: 450 or so. (what a lunch, right!?) haha
snack:?
dinner: lol, another bbq back at my house....will be healthy.....i obviously cannot have a 1200 or really low cal day, which is fine. (i need to remember that not succeeding in having a VERY low cal day does NOT mean that it is a wasted day....will still be a good day without binging today. i guess anything below 2200 or so is good for today....)
hopefully exercise later, maybe watching a movie at home tonight with my uncle who came in from CA.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 17 lbs to go!
2100 total....had a yogurt and a few extra things with dinner. off 2 the park soon!
i've been reading more which is good. it's nice to be able to put your mind into a book and concentrate on things besides facebook and tv, lol. ...and i need to return these books to the library before they become overdue!
last binge was june 6th i believe. that was almost 3 weeks or 21 days ago. i can break the binge habit. it's getting easier, definitely. there's NOTHING stopping me. you'll see, the weight is gonna be OFF by the end of August. I WILL BE 120. and i cannot wait. (but i will wait, bc the pounds don't melt off in ONE DAY!). i'm gonna do it, you watch!
best part about my weightloss: i still have TWO WHOLE MONTHS. it's still JUNE, and progress is being made!
early breakfast: yogurt, peach: 160
late breakfast party at school: medium wheat bagel w. some buttery spread stuff (noth much spread, so i'm guessing around 400 and bagel was not too large) one small chocolate chip muffin maybe 150 or so, coffee 60? with stupid fatty milk that's all there was, and a diet drink to help fill me which worked: total here approx: 610 not too bad.
lunch: cape cod potato chips (made only with oil, potato, salt), diet drinks blah. 200
snack: clif bar 260, then i also took some tofu at home before cleaning the bathroom i hate cleaning it lol 100....and i want to exercise after. so 360 on snack
calories before dinner: 1310...i guess i'll try to keep this day 1600s-1700s which is good. i almost forgot i had that small breakfast this morning when i was figuring my calories out so far! lol .
dinner: 2 red peppers100 , eggplant rollettes350, servings pretzels 220 total here: 670 fine.
total approx calories if i stick to this: 1980. whatev. can't be perfect everyday. walk after dinner or gym later.
gym:definitely going to BIKE there...no rain today (we had a whole month of june rain EVERYDAY except today and one other! wow. so happy to exercise a bit outside too.
not sure if i REALLY lost a pound more, but 2 out of 20 lbs is already 1/10th of the weight I want to lose gone!!!! that's a lot!
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 18 lbs to go!
total cal: 1370. had 600 for dinner. still fantastico! gym was great.
breakfast and lunch combined: egg white 60, avocado 100, sandwich cut in half 200 for bread, included a peach around 80 for breakfast and coffee 70 at lunch: total so far: 510. (was going to eat more this morning but time started to fly and i missed having a snack. cool.)
snack: 2 yogurts 160, blueberries 1 cup 100
total before dinner: 770 or so NICE. wowsers. i WILL eat around 1250....damn good day!!!!!!!!! tomorrow i have a breakfast to attend....ugh...but i will enjoy it, duh - and bring a LOT of no cal drinks (probably 2 of them...) to fill me so i don't overeat. that is my recent trick - eat the food, fill up after on low cal (coffee at lunch usually) or no cal drinks.
dinner: i plan on a eggplant rollettes (microwaved by celantano foods, love this dish...) 350, salad, a red pepper, yogurt key lime pie flavor. should add up around 450.
gym: will be back, abs, pushups, elliptical for ONE HOUR or 45 minutes if i have to tone it down...which i might have to. was on my feet most of today.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 18 lbs to go!
Good day to you!

I think we're living parallel lives, except I get no trip to Israel. My kids are going to Disney in August though. But not me.
I binged last night and slept until 10a today, too. So at least you know you're not alone.
We'll do better today!

I'm not up to posting an entry, but I just wanted to say that I am so inspired by how even if you eat more than you feel you should, you STILL get in a GREAT workout~when I eat too much, I just blow off the whole day..
You're doing such a fantastic job..I hope you have a great trip and take LOTS of pictures..would love to see them!!
