If you need support or want to read a little about my struggles with binging, see previous entry.
Breakfast: fiber one and almond milk 300, bar 230. total 530, good.
Today I have a bootcamp program, specially planned, near the beach at the Hamptons (big area, but it's known as a popular vacation spot and living area for famous stars and celebrities) on Long Island if you've heard of that area (but 2 hours away not at a close beach) and I am both anticipating with excitement and nervous. I get nervous before new activities with people that I don't know well. It should be fun, I am just bringing a fruit to have before, some fruit for after. There should be a bbq, and I recently (past year or two) like to have food provided, like a "normal person" and not have to worry about packing my own...whats the fun in that!? :-)
Snack before bootcamp: peach 70
600.
good bootcamp workout, some walking (leisurely) in the afternoon, an overall fantastically fun, exciting day!!! so glad i went!
overall cal, even better than i could guess on a day where it is unplanned and i was anxious, it all worked out very nicely - 2000 cal. this is proof that an active, invigorating lifestyle is something totally meant for me!
Progress as of today: 13 lbs lost so far, only 7 lbs to go!
breakfast: toast 80, shake: choc protein powder 100, strawberries 60, 1/2 avocado 160 yogurt 80 460.
good amount of walking after work.
total calories: around 2000....3am bar 200. 2200.
good.
....i was reviewing this past week, almost forgot about last weekend's binge 3700 cal on Saturday. Now I remember. Well, I feel that it's balanced out now if it calculate the average of the past 9 or so days. I wish i wasn't reminded of that binge...lol, not healthy to think about that.
A long time ago, I would binge frequently, getting into a horrible habit of eating less in the subsequent days after and always trying to calculate a reasonable average calories per day for the week after binging. It was like punishment that I was giving myself, to try to average out a binge, fix it.
Fixing a binge is NOT POSSIBLE. A binge is a mistake that affects you. There is no ERASING it. It affects a person both physically and mentally. As of late, my binges actually would affect me PHYSICALLY MORE than mentally. My body does not deal well with a load of sugars/carbs that is way too much to process. I feel very sick usually the next day as well...and I am in a horrible mood too.
So, I'm trying, trying to get better. It's very hard & will always be very hard for me.
Progress as of today: 13 lbs lost so far, only 7 lbs to go!
I had a little bout with insomnia last night...i had a little of an energy drink before my workout last night and that is why. i thought it wouldn't affect me bc it wasn't that much, lol, but it did. so, i didn't go to bed early.
anyways, i'm still craving fats and carbs. and i'm having more, especially fats.
breakfast: smoothie made with 1/2 an avocado 150, yogurt 80, protein shake 80, peach 80, lil milk 30. 420 (no ice no water). it's tasty, and VERY filling. lots of fiber in the shake mix, maybe some in the avocado, and fiber from the peach.
snack: small coffee and protein bar. 250
lunch: another half an avocado, some sauteed veggies, tofu, CHIPS i think, maybe a pita bread too.
dinner/snack: small plum, kombucha, another drink too maybe..250 (chips as well)
edit: got out of work earlier, 4:45, home around 5:45 and exercised! :-) got home earlier from that, ate a full dinner at 8pm and now relaxing :-) lovely night.
dinner: microwave meal 250, tons of toast (4 slices, but with fiber so healthier - craving carbs and energy) so, total: 550, good!
total cal today: 2000 - good, no complaints! i will not starve myself or eat too low calorie bc it defeats the purpose and i binge.
exercise: ran around 5 miles, some leg work too! that is good.

so excited for tomorrow early morning and afternoon...boot camp followed by an hour of stand up paddleboarding! well, there is a two hour break inbetween the two activities - enough time to eat a substantial snack and drive from one location to the next. lol, i love trying new activities that keep you in shape!
slow, relaxing weekend. not too many plans besides the main ones: bootcamp in AM today, visit grandma later for dinner. tomorrow bootcamp followed in the afternoon by a stand-up paddleboarding lesson for an hour (got a deal - love internet deals!), and some walking later on. nothing else major or late at night besides a little laundry and food shopping, stopping by Victoria's Secret to pick up a free pair of underwear yay! I don't wanna burn myself out this weekend, so i'd rather it be kinda easy.
4am: up and cannot sleep. snacking and on computer, my brain wants to be active since, once again, i've been doing nothing all week except work and gym...
4am breakfast: 2 fiber one bars: 250. (one a peanut butter flavor, one a chocolate mocha flavor...both alright, but will not buy these flavors again)., leftover hard boiled egg, fiber one cereal and milk: total 500.
8am breakfast #2: egg whites with a lil butter 150, toast (3 slices) with some tomato based spread 250, sugary strawberry banana 2% Chobani yogurt 160. this all hit the spot! :-) total cal: 560. good. (i haven't been eating enough fats lately so that's why the butter, 2% yogurt - i did the same thing for my coffees the past few days - whole milk. yeah, i know it's not the best types of fats, but it's also better than everything being fat free!)
11am snack after bootcamp: 60 calorie coconut water
12pm lunch: huge salad, vegetable soup, around 450
bootcamp at 10am was fabulous and I feel like i sweated out every bad food/drink i ingested and every bad thought in my head this am!
later evening exercise after dinner: 5 mi jog. so proud of myself. i had no idea i was in shape to run 5 mi. the bootcamp has helped my progress, even though we don't run near that amount, not even one mile usually! or maybe around 1 mi in bootcamp. so, i am excited...for Thanksgiving, I'm signing up for the neighborhood Turkey Trot. and if it includes a 10k, i'm in. if only a 5k, i'm in for that too. yes! i did stop to use the bathroom, but mostly a continuous 5 mi jog. last jog i did last week was only 3 mi, what a difference. wow this is simply amazing. never have i been able to run so smoothly.
snack: cantelope 100 and a protein shake (healthier kind) vanilla chai flabor 150 cal. 250 here...**** small binging today. 400 in protein bars.
2200.
early dinner: big. at 1200.
snack: 100
overall, i had 3700 cal. ok with it. weightloss and weight maintenance is the overall picture, the big picture. today was a loss of a day, but not a journey.
Progress as of today: 12.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
I've been in some FB discussions/arguments about Kindle vs real books. Real books will never disappear, but Kindles are fantastic for travelling! I also love mine because my eyes don't get tired when I read on a Kindle, and they do with paper books. I've got tons of real books at home, and those with photos must be a paper book. Since we travel a lot, a Kindle is a blessing.
breakfast: a lil earlier than usual, a protein drink, two fiber one bars: 380, good.
snack: coffee (decaf) , bar? this works for me...650
lunch: tofu, sun chipschips, maybe boss' food(sauteed veggies), some sauce....500
dinner: watermelon, drinks, pita, leftover tofu/boss' food 400 at most. 1550...
snacking: ehh, two protein bars, milk 450. eh, is ok.
2000 cal = fine. what am i complaining about!? :-)
BED..., early night.
oh, and worked approximately 11 hours today. 8-7.
exercise: simple tonight = walking, i think 3.5 mi, maybe 4, i lost track!
I am VERY close to weighing 120, so very close. It may take 2 weeks, it may take 2 months, I am gonna get there...I am starting to feel that feeling I get when I am reaching my weightloss goal, the anticipatory feeling. I am trying to relax with it, and let my weightloss happen slowly, so that it can stay off forever this time. slow weightloss is definitely helping the weightloss stick around. from firsthand experience, i can tell you, it is easier to keep the weightloss happening with patience, persistance, and a slower process, as long as you can take note of the progress that has happened over time, don't forget how far you've come. for me, i've already lost 13 pounds from last summer. awesome. finally, i see it in a couple pairs of my jeans, they don't look as nice when they are baggy in the legs (they used to be skin tight!)...i may throw them out! :-)
Progress as of today: 12.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
I weigh 123 :-) But i've been feeling terrible this week as well...
Thanks for all the complimens yesterday, I need to do some commenting on your diaries, always slacking!!!
Breakfast: granola bars and protein shake: 340.
I don't feel good and would rather take today OFF.... :-(
snack: dacaf coffee? bar. 310
lunch: toast, tofu, chips 450
snack/dinner: cookie 100, other cookies 50, strawberries 100: 250
snacks: 2 protein shakes 250 total
total: 1600 = winner.
exercise: slow walking, entire upper body weights routine.
may do weights tonight, maybe not (upper body). I have been feeling incredibly week and tired this week :-( Last night I got a full night's sleep but I feel like I need more than I even got. I am exhausted again... I need to sleep well most nights a week, not one night a week. Doing hardcore exercise, you need recovery time...
Progress as of today: 12 lbs lost so far, only 8 lbs to go!
