Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
(4000 since Thanksgiving) (3250 extra calories since Thanksgiving - I'm doing a good job reducing these extra cals) Tomorrow I plan on a hot yoga class, also.
exercise: 4 mi walk, at least, and hot yoga. good.
4:30am couldn't sleep & got hungry: 2 persimmons, very large 250? and 2 smallish pieces of baked, seasoned chicken 300: 500-550cal. I am not going to count these calories in with my total today, i don't think.
9am Breakfast: oatmeal w. sunflower milk! 200, greek yogurt 100, kombucha 60.
light lunch: chips 160, drink 40.
snack: couple munchkins, coffee: 100
snack: fruit 50
dinner: healthy! big bowl soup 350? and some of a sandwich: 200? total 550.
total today: 1750 = PERFECTO! and a protein bar before bed, so actually 2000 cal, still pretty darn good considering my eating at 4:30am!
weekend plans: i want to be able to do hot yoga maybe a double class on Sunday! just gonna relax this weekend/month...no crazy partying or anything.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
2250 calories today...maybe a lil higher = success for sure with Chanukah holiday dinner with family.
exercise: light, easy walking for an hour and hot yoga which i really sucked at...i was very tired and got really hungry 2/3 into the class. ugh.
tomorrow is a date but i'm anxious because it's not planned yet - the time and movie and place we are eating at, that is! it's always last minute and iget so anxious oh well...we planned that we'd meet up Sunday last Tuesday, but the exact plans are not set. doyou think i should calm it a bit? do most people make plans the same day? maybei'm going overboard.
i am still very tired. at it's only 10:45pm....i hope nothing is wrong with me.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!
Saturday breakfast: XLarge Persimmon 130, Protein bar 230: 360.
Look at this awesome weight update, 6am on Saturday, and the scale showed just slightly under 125!!!! I'm making progress still, yes I am, even with higher calories! The reason I'm doing well is because I'm not binging! boy does this feel GREAT! Almost everyday this week was 2200 or higher. I've been trying to exercise, since I have a sedentary job, to counteract and help with the weightloss and it worked. I will also do a Bikram yoga class tomorrow afternoon, that should help! And then I'll probably take a walk at night, since we'll have company over for Chanukah dinner in the afternoon/evening.

early, big breakfast 5:15am: humongous persimmon - maybe 160, protein bar 240, sunflower milk! 50, english muffin with apple butter 150: 600. good.

as for my weight: i have been eating VERY high end calories lately: usually 2200-2300 per day! and amazingly, and i say amazingly, i have not gained. I may have even lost enough to weight 125 again. or even a tad lower. success! I am not looking for fast weightloss, yes, we all want it and so do i, but this time success will ONLY happen for me with patience & perisistance. cheers to success, even if slowly.

until the new year and fully though February my goal is to eat much more fresh foods: more veggies and fruits and natural foods. I think this will really kick-start more weightloss. I will spend more money on buying HEALTHY PREPARED foods so that i have them available to me...from the deli sections of several stores and even the mall food court has really healthy steamed collard greens. I will make this work.
