exercise: yoga and 5 mile walk. excellent.
Today I work up earlier than I thought I would. Lately I've been getting by on less sleep. Maybe exercising is making that possible. I'm not very tired throughout the day but sometimes for a little while in the afternoon I feel it!
Breakfast: Fage yogurt with light activia yogurt mixed in. This satisfies me! Lg tea. strrawberries: 210
Lunch a bit large, very hungry early after yoga: 1.5 cups fiber one, .5 cup strawberries, 1 cup milk, 4 ounce cc, 4 ounce activia yogurt: 460.
sour mints throughout afternoon
dinner: salad, chicken, lg pita bread, orange: 550-600 or something like that.
total: 1300 good day.
Snack: I really want an iced coffee at some point today!
Dinner: I know we'll be going out to eat with my Uncle that came to stay with us.
update to come!
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 15 lbs to go!
around 1280 cal. I am totally not sure how many calories dinner was. I ended up going out and had a LOT of veggies and then also a salad with seared tuna and nothing else in it. I am hoping that calories were around 400. Hopefully that's right. Otherwise, it was still a pretty low day with lots of exercise.
exercise: AM 40 min, PM 50 min walk.
I haven't been giving into food temptations. We had a breakfast in the faculty room today but I had breakfast beforehand. Also, there wasn't as good a selection as usual so that's good. Last night I almost gave in to having a 300 calorie pita bread! NOT worth it. Three hundred calories just for the actual bread and nothing else. I am doing well, as long as I learn to calm myself down and not think of drowning my emotions in food.
Because I was up earlier than usual this morning, I decided to just take a walk outside. It was slightly drizzling, but not during most of the 40 minute walk I took. It was worth it and I will probably go to the gym later, not so in the mood for yoga tonight - I plan on going tomorrow morning when I have a day off from work.
Breakfast: lots of fiber one, milk: 310
snack: cc: 110
Lunch: yogurt: 160
snack: lots of tofu sprinkled with cinnamon and a large apple 300
I've been tired today due to lack of sleep lately bc i wake up early for no apparent reason! Actually, one reason is that my uncle from California has been staying with us. But, I can't believe it's causing me to wake up so early in the morning - and i've been going to bed later than usual. I have a feeling I'll catch up on sleep come Sunday and Monday which I have off from work, too.
total so far: 880.
I can have 400 cal for dinner and make it a 1280 approx. day. This is my plan :) I can do this :) yes.

You are doing wonderful...Soon this will be routine and not seem such a chore...
I haven't got nearly anything accomplished today that I set out to do, but the work isn't going to "Stop" because of it, so I best get with what I can get done at least.... Good Evening!
late edit: after dinner, i had a TON of sugar free jelly...but good news is NOTHING else after that.
TOTAL CALORIES: 1500. still ok. today was a HUNGRY DAY.
Early evening: For some reason, I have been hungrier today than the past few days, starting right in the morning and lasting all day! I'm glad I made the choice to head to yoga RIGHT after work and not wait an hour and a half because i might have made bad food choices if I had stayed home.
exercise: hot yoga.
I'm not sure if I will walk today, actually, I won't. My ankle needs the rest. Then again, I'm bored just sitting here. Maybe I should head out for a walk. eh. we'll see. I might as well do a slow walk on the treadmill.
breakfast: large with two added 4 ounce yogurts: 475
snack: cc: 110
lunch: yogurt: 150
snack: apple/diet snapple noni drink: 155
dinner: amy's microwave lasagna, 2 cucumbers, dressing. 410
total: 1300. ok. :)
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 16 lbs to go!
haha, DD has a background with a horn! I had to use it!
Happy Hump Day! Yay, its Wednesday :) I haven't said that in months! So, most of the kids are on a trip that i'd be teaching today so my plans at school will be to work with different kids today and administer lots of reading tests. I love when the routine shifts and every day is not exactly the same. Yay for change of plans today!
Breakfast: fruit,cereal,milk:
Snack: cc 110
lunch: yogurts: 150
snack: caffeine free diet soda.
snack: fruit and yogurt:

After school, I plan on picking up a free pair of underwear at Victoria's Secret. I get a free one many times of year with a coupon in the mail.

I am very proud of myself and I KNOW I can totally pull this weight loss off. What has been helping me is taking one day at a time, getting enough sleep (although the past two days have been shakey), and remembering there is NOTHING to stress about. The moment I start to worry or get anxious, my plans get blown. So, everytime I feel uneasy, I slow down and calm my thoughts down. It's working.
Putting weightloss as a priority is really paying off. I feel good and partially due to my reintroduction to yoga. I have gone there twice in the past 3 days and my whole body is beginning to feel so much better already. I plan on going tomorrow for sure as I think my ankle is still recovering from my 6 mile walk Sunday. I want to try another six mile walk later in the week if it's nice out.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 16 lbs to go!
Sunday:
breakfast: 1 heaping cup of mixed berries, cereal and milk: 310
snack: sugar free sour mints: 20
late lunch: 2 4 ounce cottage cheeses (pineapple), apple, tea, 3 extremely small peaches (yes i'm now very full.) 450
feeling bingy. snacked on 2 plum tomatoes and tofu: 235, piece of gum 10
dinner: amy's tofu and rice meal with 2 cucumbers and a little dressing 350. I wanted calories lower, but it was too tasty to throw away.
total calories today: 1375. All in all a good day.
6 mile walk and 25 min on elliptical.

Re: Custodial Job ~ I don't mind doing it too much.... I just put in a C.D. and crank it up, so I can enjoy it.... It is our church building, so it is more of a feeling of wanting to have it clean, instead of a "have to"....
Good Monday to you tomorrow!
Saturday:
exercise: yoga and walking. good day! :)
Today was a good day. I did binge at dinner on over 1,000 calories including a whole sleeve of Ritz crackers. BUT, the whole day/week is NOT a wreck because of it.
Total calories for today are still a reasonable 1900, despite the dinner binge of 1050. The goal for tomorrow is 1200 calories. I will keep myself busy and hopefully I'll be able to reach my goal. I let the best get to me today, but its low enough in calories so that it still isn't affecting the next few days which is good.
Breakfast: 1 cup p. cc, strawberries
lunch: cereal, milk, cinnamon
snack: iced coffee, low cal snapple drink, 1 very small peach, small container of blackberries
snack: sugar free sour mints
dinner: smart ones lasagne, many veggies, orange, sugar free jelly, and an entire sleeve of ritz crackers oops.
I rented a movie for tonight bc i wasn't planning on going out more than one night this weekend. I actually don't mind staying in. I hope to not wake up too early tomorrow. I'm nervous about how I will feel about eating so much tonight. Usually what happens is my blood sugar is really low and I wake up ravenous.
But, I must remember, I have NO STRESS! :) So, I must continue on with this weight loss journey that I have started.
If I reach my goal of 115 by the June 27, I would get myself a gift. What gift? I have to think about this one!
Ok...I just calculated my goal and it seems it is way to lofty. I have six weeks till June 27. It would be HIGHLY improbable for me to lose 2 lbs each week unless I really amp up exercise and keep calories MAJORLY low. I think I weigh about 133 now. 133 - 12 lbs = 121 lbs by June 27. UGH. I'm still going to keep my lofty goal of 115 and I'll see what happens. I'll just work my hardest.
The moment I reach 115, I will start dress shopping for my friend's wedding. But, this can't be the gift I give myself. The only gift that sounds good to me is swimming lessons because I can swim, but terribly. That would be great exercise that wouldn't mess with my ankle which is sometimes weak. But, I am not even so excited to give myself that. Any suggestions on a gift to myself for reaching my goal?
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 18 lbs to go!
Re: Thrift Stores ~ I NEVER used to shop for clothing in our Goodwill ( very dirty )..I used to just go for finding treasures to sell on Ebay, then they did a big remodel a couple summers ago... Target donates all of their unsold "clearance" items to them now, plus they have become very picky about the donations they take in... Nice shopping place now. I have bought almost all of our daughter's clothing there, plus find super nice skateboarding t-shirts for our son... He isn't a "skate-freak", just likes too look "in-style" with the other boys his age...He loves to go looking and rub it in his buddies face that he only had to give $1.99 for his shirt, when they have spent $25....
You are doing good Horn~ Keep it up!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Plans for Saturday:
yoga in the AM. It'll be my FIRST day back. I'm really nervous. Then, visit grandma. Then, a Dunkin Donuts coffee mixed into my day before a walk or exercise at the gym. Lastly, I will rent a movie and enjoy it with dinner. :) to me, this will be a good day.
On Sunday, I'd like to go to yoga twice. This may not work out, since that's a lot to ask for since each class is 90 minutes. You see, my goal is for MAJOR weight loss these next 6 weeks and I will apply as much fitness as I can to my lifestyle. WIth all that sweating in the hot yoga (100 degree room) that I do, I can easily reach my goal. :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Entry for Friday:
Breakfast: strawberries, cereal, milk: 270
snack: pineapple cc 110
lunch: cc and yogurt: 190
snack: tomato and diet mountain dew 30
snack 3: wine spritzer at happy hour 100
snack 4: 1/2 large apple: 80
total: 790. wow, very low. I must make sure this does NOT lead to a binge later on Saturday. I MUST stick to my positive plan of losing weight for the next couple months...and expecially until the end of JUNE. Don't worry, not all days will be this low at all. Usually I wouldn't even attempt to go below a healthy 1200. this day was out of the ordinary and that is ok once in a while.
i went to happy hour after work. It was a good change a pace and I'm feeling way better lately (aside from these annoying allergies but that's another subject). With no stress, my goals of weight loss can happen so easily. Whenever I get a tense feeling, I've been reminding myself of how easy I really do have it these next few months until September. It's like a long vacation, still working, doing my job by day and spending my evenings doing WHATEVER I want...AND my weekends doing WHATEVER I want. I've got it good right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will continue to have it good until the end of the summer. Then, when I go back to school I'll be as refreshed as ever - and I will do well.
