I received a compliment today that went like this "You are getting prettier everytime I see you!" wow. made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was from the boss' driver. (driver for the boss of the entire multimillion dollar company.) he has a really friendly driver, ex cop actually, who told me to take the police exam. and i did and passed. i hope it works out for me....and so on. i have to wait many months, but i will update when i find out.
breakfast: oatmeal 150, yogurt 100, oatmeal raisin tri-o-plex protein cookies 280: 530. i felt like i wasn't going to be satisfied with just the oatmeal and yogurt and i wanted a banana, too. but, everytime i eat bananas in the AM, i get extra hungry afterwards in the morning at work. so, i remembered i had an extra package of something high protien and had those cookies. the protein cookies actually taste VERY good. just like soft & moist oatmeal raisin cookies!
(very tired this AM...i would have liked to sleep at least an hour more to get a full 8 hours, not a little under 7 hrs.)
AM snack: protein bar 270 (and coffee throughout)...
lunch: lots of veggies and tofu, small chips, maybe fruit too.550. 400 cal.
snack before gym after work: 2 apples, a tomato, a snickers "fun size" very small candy bar, diet snapples
after gym: protein bar 300 cal., diet canada dry and more diet snapple.
1800 calories.
just too much caffeine. everything else OK>
exercise: no cardio, only weights, but a great amount. also pushups, which now i can do up to 50 in a row, in one set! i used to be able to do none, so anyone can get better and improve. i was not born an athlete and never even attempted exercise until i was 16. i was always thin, but my parents didn't implement or teach the importance of exercise - i learned from myself, physical trainers, and others.
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
today was ok. kinda got really hungry late at night after the gym, so i gave in. not a binge or anything, but i ate what i wanted.
1600 calories before gym.
after gym: biggest banana ever 170?, 3 plum tomatoes 90, lots of chips 450. total here: 710 oh well, better tomorrow.
total: 2310, NOT terrible!
exercise: hour cardio.
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
big breakfast: 2 thick greek yogurts 200, oatmeal 160, chips 150: 510 was very tasty. some added cinnamon and chocolate splenda to the yogurts and cereal. yummmm.
healthy snacking, coffee at work almonds and some ginger sucking candies
lunch was decently healthy with cooked/stirfry veggies/ yam noodles (hardly any calories - look them up - "miracle noodles" or "shirataki noodles" and they can be found in many local markets or online to be ordered and shipped, tofu, some chips.
snacking before gym was fruit and veggies and lots of diet drinks - it's how i fill myself up in the car before the gym.
after gym: protein bar that was very tasty, big, 300 cals. even some fiber which i love.
total today was approx. 1750 = very, very good day. i was planning and thinking it would be higher, but i made good choices after work.
to all the ladies that starve themselves, eat only 1200 cals a day, i'm telling you that even eating this much will continue weightloss for most women. even without the exercise. 1750 is not a lot. but if you aren't looking to starve but not eat this much, 1500 cals a day is also a good amount for weightloss. you do not have to eat nothing in order to lose weight.
exercise: no cardio, but some squats, and then upper body weights today and pushups.
goodnight.
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
I am doing so well that i'm changing my goal: 121 lbs is my new goal! by the way, i've lost a total of 10 lbs. I don't feel like I have because the weightloss has been really slow, which is good bc it's easier to keep off this way. but it's so weird to think i was 10 lbs heavier... i feel so good about this weightloss. so, so, so good!
can't wait for 121!...It should take a bit - and won't happen in just one week. I'm gonna work at it, accomplish it. by the end of this month, i do hope to be getting close!
exercise:
1. short bike ride before breakfast for about 20 min.
2. afternoon 1/2 hour bike ride and hour nice walk around neighborhood.
big breakfast: fiber one and milk 400 cal, and a bit much on the chips (probably even a bit more than i'm listing, but so tasty) 400 cals for chips. 800 total. very tasty.
fell back to sleep for a couple hours i think.
lunch:greek yogurt w. added cinnamon and chocolate flavored stevia drops, and cooked cranberries 150 calories., more yogurt, frozen kefir - total 450.
afternoon snack: 50 drink.
dinner: at the diner, a really good, humungous, turkey burger, mushroom barley soup, and a salad: 750 at most.
total: 2050 or so = AWESOME for the weekend!
I am so happy and proud of myself, good eating all weekend, no binging at all. very successful weekend.
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
2450 calories, good day. indulging but no crazy binging. just an hour of slow walking though. oh well, great day - no work!
I weighed in at 125 this AM. :-) 9 overall pounds, gone. Of course weight fluctuates, maybe I will weigh 126 tomorrow lol. I will probably weigh in sometime at the end of next week again. :-) I am very happy and proud of myself.
I have lost an overall 9 lbs. that is fantastic! :-D I am on a roll and I am looking foward to continuing. Sometimes, at a point like this, it's so easy to give up because it's a slow process - but slow and steady wins the race. I am going to continue. I will win this "battle." But to tell you the truth, I am enjoying a low weightloss. I feel good and happy about it. To lose it all at once defeats the point of a learning to do it gradually and keep it off. My goal is to do this for the long run - My goal for life is to weigh in the teens again. I am short, 5' 1.5" so this is a healthy goal. Realistic goal. I feel really good about this goal. It does make me nervous now, because its a lot more weight to lose, but I have seriously done a good job so far.
My weightloss has been 2 lbs per month, on average. This is good - 1/2 pound per week. I would like it to be faster, but who's complaining?! Weightloss on any level should be celebrated as a succes. I insist this is how I feel and I hope that this helps some of you who may feel discouraged.
breakfast: 400 banana, fiber one, milk.
lunch: protein bar 300, coffee w. milk and equal 70
snack/afternoon meal: large apple 100, cooked veggies w. little bit of noodles 200. 300 total
1070 good.
dinner with grandma: chips, more veggies/noodles that i cooked, half sandwich?
snack tonight at home:
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
126 this AM. at least something is working and a success. nice and steady loss. around a pound a week, maybe every two weeks. good. just two more pounds to go. maybe by the end of the month, but never rushing it.
around 1850 cals.
exercise: not enough cardio (half hour) and weights one hour.
i worked 7am-5:30pm and was in the worst mood all day. i feel horrible for my boss and coworkers. i didn't do anything wrong but i just wasn't very talkative. :-(
i literally sat at the computer all day. horrible job for me.
Progress as of today: 9 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
excited to step on the scale tomorrow, it may even show 126 if i am lucky....i know this is too much info, but with my period this time, i have been having lots of muscle contractions in my abdomen and i've been pooping seriously many times today....i feel like my intestines are near empty and clean as a whistle. haha. yes, i really did write that.
breakfast...............150.
work..............
i need more beauty sleep haha. not enough. woke up with a pimple.
today work was 7am-almost 7pm. you try to sit at a computer that long!
took a short break at lunch to step outside for a few minutes. beautiful weather, thank god!!!
anyways,
snack in am: 300 (but some of these calories were actually eaten at lunch - it was a large protein bar)
lunch: 450.
snack: 50
dinner: 450
snack: 50
total: around 1450-1500.
the only thing, and maybe it's not even a good thing, about working so much is SOMETIMES, when really, really, really super busy, my calories will be lower. but this is not always the case and with extra and too much stress, it can backfire into horrible eating on the weekend. so i have to be careful and i will never eat too low bc that never is helpful or healthy. i am not a starvation kinda chica!!!
exercise: when i got home after having dinner in my car, i jogged in the neighborhood (nice weather!) at 8pm till almost 9pm. jogging and walking.
Progress as of today: 8 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
i worked from 7:00am-6:00pm too much!
anyways, 1750 calories today, great.
exercise: 25 min cardio, hour weights.
I am very encouraged when I look at my overall progress, 7 lbs! that's almost 10 lbs - which would be very excellent!
Progress as of today: 8 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!

liza36 on 11/09/2011:
I'm sure the higher protein will help with hunger. Have a great day.
legcramps on 11/09/2011:
I like your message from the other day about calories and how to go about losing weight. Good for you! You're doing a great job and are an inspiration to the rest of us who just can't seem to get it together!
~WI~ on 11/09/2011:
I am SO PROUD of you!!! You have come such a long way! I am truly very proud of you :)
