woke up in middle of the night and had a banana - was hungry! so more like 1900. good.
around 1760. perfect.
no cardio :-( (oh well, can't do it all if i work 2 hrs overtime).
1.5 hours weights.
i am promising myself i will eat nothing else - just had a sorta large protein bar after exercise, which is already accounted for in my calories - i am excited to weigh myself tomorrow - i should be around 128....maybe less in the AM! gonna go to bed EARLY now!!
Looking at my weight chart, i'm reminded that i'm doing well! I need to keep up the good work, that's all! I am happy with this progress, even if slow. Slow is always better, so i've learned in my journey of life.
I want that weight chart to keep going down each month - and I know it's possible. I'd like to first and foremost weight in the low/mid 120's which is so possible for someone of my height. Healthy weight for me is actually in the teens. like 115. but that is one heck of a lofty goal right now and i'm not even interested of thinking about it.
Right now, getting to around 124 will be a major success in itself!
Progress as of today: 7 lbs lost so far, only 4 lbs to go!
400 cal breakfast. 2 icelandic yogurts, wheat cereal w. milk. yup - all that!
only 50 calorie snack. - candies.
late lunch 500 cal. egg white sandwich, chips, fiber bar. many carbs, yes. but not too much.

big snack after gym bc i wanted it: 2 yogurts, huge yellow pepper, huge apple, small plum: 400 total.
total: 1750-1800. good. i don't like to stay too low bc it backfires anyway, so this total is probably perfect even if it sounds high, i don't believe it really is.
and lots of gum, finished the pack finally, so still i think around 1800. good.
splurge on carrot chips! 260 more, but yum.
2050 today. still good!
exercise: hour of cardio.
gonna get up at a more normal hour tomorrow, around 5:45 lol, instead of 4:45! anyways, and make sure i have a nice breakfast like i've been doing!

weightloss inner thoughts and commentary:
I am going to NEED to make some changes in my current lifestyle in order to meet my next goal of getting into the mid 120's. I am definitely happy with my gradual progress so far and I am excited to continue. This month - October through November Thanksgiving time - is a good time for weightloss. Not too many holidays or tempting things. I already eat what I want, chips often, but luckily no other crazy temptations. On weekends, I will not try to rush and do everything. I will rather try to relax.
( In terms of working, I will still work a lot (of course), but try harder to exercise my lower body. I am nervous that so much sitting is going to further DESTROY my lower body (I don't have a strong lower body and I sit for, recently anyways, 11 hour workdays at the computer. too much.)
CHANGES:
1- Try much harder not too binge by breathing, trying to relax, trying to slow those thoughts in my mind when I think that the only thing I need and want to satisfy me is food. I can function without these binges.
2- I may start to do weights almost everyday by adding in 2-3 days of leg weight machine workouts at the gym. by everday, I mean lower body weights on the days where I currently wouldn't go to the gym. I will start off with just a few exercies, but I need to do it. I think it will make my hips more toned and less flabby. So, I'll do a little cardio at the gym and also add in at first maybe 4-6 different leg weight exercise machines on days when I used to only do cardio. On the other days, I'll continue with a little cardio and my upper body/arm routines. Basically, on my cardio days I will add in a little weights for the lower body. I have to, only way. Upper body/arms I do 2-3 days of weights also. So now I'd be going to the gym 5 days a week for weights. not happy about this, but with so much sitting at work, I may have to.
3- Keep in mind that in order to lose weight, my calorie averages for each day should be around 1700, not 2000. After binges, my weekly averages turn into 2,000 per day instead of a more healthy 1700-1900 for weightloss. I do not need to have really low averages, like 1400-1500 everyday because it is too little for me and I do not like the feeling - at least right now - of eating so few calories when i don't have to, yet!
4- This is just commentary and inner dialogue. Things can change with my outlook. I do not want to do lower body weights because really I don't have the patience or time so much! But, if I do want to look better, I may have to.

I have bday gift certificates too!
7:30am breakfast: fiber one and milk 250, big nature valley granola bar w. protein but not a ton of fiber (but very tasty - and i hadn't realized, the first ingredient is corn syrup, yuck-o!) 200: total 550 = perfecto.

update: dad liked the massage gift...now just need to schedule it when he can go!
ummm, good morning?!
woke up today at 4:30am. I went to bed around midnight so it may be a rough day but i'll try to make it work.....definitely need coffee today!
lots on my mind, like how to enjoy the weekend despite a feeling that i'll be exhausted when it arrives. i guess that's life...
got my dad a massage for his bday and put it on the kitchen table for him to see inside a card for him this morning...we'll see how he responds to this type of gift. I got him a massage once before but it was done by another male who removed the towel and walked all over his butt....soooooo, hopeuflly this massage won't freak him out, it's at a reccomended place and i once had a massage by the same female massage therapist. he'll be able to choose even just an hour back massage if that's all he wants. i even scheduled it for my dad...for this saturday morning. we'll see what happens!
at 4:30 i had a banana that i included in yesterday's calories. i woke up hungry and tired and my muscles were slightly fatigued, the postassium in the banana should help me.

total: 1550. really perfect cannot get better.
exercise: better, 20 min elliptical, 20 min stairs!!! i'm actually happy with this and the stairs left me literally soaked, so hard! such a cool machine. it's like an actual staircase that moves, not a step machine. so totally awesome and fantastic workout. it's my new fave cardio machine at the gym.

(BLACK coffee during morning...been doing this for months but not proud of it.)
snack: protein shake 230
lunch: healthy fruit, brown rice, sauteed veggies and tofu! wahoo...so happy. and BLACK coffee...total = 450. great.
world's most disgusting dinner ever (leftover junk i had at work and put in my bag for the ride home before going to the gym straight from work and getting there finally at 8pm: pretty decent type of protein bar 210, fiber one bar 140, two plums i brought for after work 80 at most - they were small, diet mountain dew from store, medium iced coffee from dunkin donuts also on the way home - needed so much damn caffeine to make the gym happen tonight 60. total = around 500 - good.
healthy snack at 9:30pm at home after the gym: tomato 40, big peach 80. total approx 120
total: 1500. perfecto calories....4:30am banana when i woke up hungry...total 1600 = great.
exercise: NO DAMN CARDIO at all = pisses me off to the core. I'm gonna have a nice round ass by the end of this and wide ass hips ... grrrrr!
anyways, weights for an hour was my workout. I was exhausted and I have more enjoyment, much more, doing weights. So I chose the weights, as I did them Monday and they needed to be done either today or tomorrow...tomorrow I must do some cardio! Maybe if it's nice, and I get out of work ON TIME, I'll get my a$$ to the park and walk at least 3 nice miles. i hate not doing any cardio.
