worked 7am-5:30pm. monday and tuesday were 7-6pm. i am feeling tired, but not too tired. luckily, i start work "late" tomorrow, at 8am. this should be good for me to kinda get the sleep i need tonight. maybe even 8 hrs if i stop snacking and internet prowling! haha.
DAMN GREAT DAY! i had lunch at 3:30pm not by my own will, trust me...which really prevented any hunger before the gym after work lol. my boss and i were working to get a project emailed and out by a deadline and i am working directly with him, same office. you cannot take a break, he said we'd eat when we were done!
anyways, exercise: hour of cardio, 4 miles. and some dumbells for fun.
calories: 1750 (partially due to a dampened appetite after work, but a good amount and i'm happy!)
(for my own info, 3 day average with my 2800 day = a fantastically perfect 2200/day for 3 days....meaning that Thursday and Friday should be good defecit days - days where calories should be less than my needs - gah, finally! as Mon-Wed this week were only good for balancing out my overeating on the weekend. once again, I've got to try harder to just not binge on the weekend. high calories, like 2200-2300 are FINE, but not 2800 or these unreasonable high amounts for someone of my size or i won't reach my goals...and trust me, I will, I've got to! :-) )
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
tired....
breakfast: oatmeal and milk 200, big banana 150, healthy bread 100: 450, good.
snack: gah, probably trail mix with chocolate and raisins. 250 coffee.
lunch: healthy. 210 + whatever else...
snack: not sure.
dinner: not sure.
see you.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
edit: finally feeling tired, hitting the pillows at around 11pm...up at 5am...sheesh...6 hrs not enough for me..........my chin is still all broken out. i need more sleep but my job demands being awake and at work for more hours than i'd like to be...and i refuse to stop exercising after work....
(today + 2800 cal day = 2425, still working to average this out from weekend, then working to create even the smallest of deficits to lose weight...must try harder with this on the weekend...)
darn 12am again: 250, protein bar.
breakfast at home, 6am: oatmeal 200, bar 250: 450
snack throughout morning at work: ugh...bar? 250 Nuttter Butter cookies... total so far, 950..
1pm at work, lunch: lower protein veggie burgers on flatbreads and a tomato juice 450, good.okra stew with chicken/lamb and a flatbread. very good. some diet snapple.
1400..(but ate my boss's lunch, not what i brought...same calories)
snack: apple, diet drink (s)
6:15pm dinner in my car: some of my lunch - veggie burger on a flatbread, tomatoes, diet drinks 300 = PERFECT.
9pm after gym in my car: "indulged" in a higher cal protein bar to fill any hunger before going to bed - i refuse to wake up in the middle of the night as i will not be getting a full night's sleep anyways. it's too late and i have to get up majorly early. oh well. it will end. 350 cal.
2050 cal = pretty perfect. hey, i'm not looking to starve myself, just be moderate, exercise enough, and lose weight. even if slow, it can be done.
speaking of exercise, this is awesome, i didn't want to skip weights all week, like i did do the past two weeks and then only do them on Fri/Sunday. sooo, i did weights, a fast but full routine for an hour and then almost an hour of cardio, 4 miles run/walk on treadmill. i did it all.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
Tuesday: 12am: woke up cold so i blew dry my wet hair and had a protein bar, 250. up because of myself...probably bc i am getting used to waking up at night? bc i didn't have much for dinner, either, low in protein. it's ok....this shouldn't last beyond tonight!
_________________________________________________________
Monday:
lol, gas was better today because i cut down on the volume of food...and far less veggies.
Parents up past midnight cleaning? I am not sure why...but of course i woke up from them. Like always, I can never sleep though the night but it's usually because of my mom bc she is up, waking me up.
12:30am: coconut water. 60.
breakfast: ginger tea, oatmeal, bar? 450
snack: almonds, salted. maybe also a sugary granola bar ( at least it helped my stomach and i had far less darn gas...whenever i put nothingin my stomach all mornign, i'm doomed iwth horrible gas by lunch) 190
lunch: veggies will just about kill me - still too much gas...i know, tmi...coconut water, bagel with eggs white? small chips? 600 and a pita bread and tomato juice 900 cal.
snack: juicy apple 100
dinner: really tasted olive oil/salted almonds 250 bc i didn't have them at work...tomatoes 50 , and an apple 100. lots of diet drinks to fill my stomach....this is my way of cheating the system, per se. 400 total, good.
i had more carbs, as usual lately, at lunch and practically fell asleep from them in the afternoon. ugh! duh, eat less carbs and get more sleep, i know!
calories ended up being awesome, i will not eat right before bed now, like i usually have been.
2000 cal.
exercise also fantastic: 4 miles of jogging/walking. less than one hour. this is good.
some pushups and dumbells for fun because it motivates me when i first get to the gym.
good thing the gym is next door to work. i got out of work late, before 6pm, started work at 7am. i got home after 8 and i need to be up no later than 5am to get to work by 7am tomorrow. sucky. it's already past 9pm...gotta wind down before hitting the sack, you know!?
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!

exercise: hour cardio, mostly just walking at a leisurly pace. then, weights, for about one hour. and pushups.
overall an ok day. i was very tired and slept/lied in bed/read most of the day until 3pm when i left the house for a walk at the park where they always clear the snow. then i drove to the gym for weights after a snack.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
5am, can't sleep so i took a shower, followed by a granola bar and a big apple, ginger tea. 250.bar 250

1:30 lunch (pita bread, spicy tomato juice, some of grandma's leftover pastrami and rye sandwich, my own tofu/qunioa/veggies that i cooked last Monday, two cookies = big lunch!):
1750 after, lunch...
4:30 snack: 250 spicy carrot chips
7:30 dinner: weird...chips 150, pita breads 300? - the calorie listing on the package i have to question! seems too good to be true. probably more calories but whatever...some more veggies and a protein bar 350 more at most.
total: 2800 = just fine!
exercise: cardio, one hour, good. was a snowy day but i actually had two appts and then went to visit grandma. i went to the gym after around 5:30pm.
i will fall asleep early tonight for sure! very tired day.
extra cal: only 600 or so, not bad. weekends are tougher, and i am happy with this total!
plan for tomorrow is a weight workout in the late afternoon, cardio in the moring. cooking. that's it.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
hello! i do plan to comment tonight/tomorrow on your journals...it's been a heck of a busy week. busiest year of my life in terms of hours spend working.
breakfast: oatmeal and protein bar : 410.
snack: maybe a protein bar 250
lunch: ?? chips, wheat bagel, naan bread with sauteed garlic (indian food), some chicken curry too. (lots of gas so i've been eating more breads to fix the problem)
dinner: rest of the naan, some veggies, apple.
calories high because i indulged in some tasty stuff (and a bagel i had bought and was looking foward to) for lunch that my boss ordered. definitely worth it!
2400 cal. not bad, not great, but def NOT BAD. only like 200 cal extra, no biggie.
exercise: weights = fantastic. 1.5 hours at least. 30 min stroll.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
Good Morning!
Big Breakfast: oatmeal and brown rice milk 210, yogurt 100, protein bar 250: 560 good.
Snack: coffee, rest of bar from breakfast (2 more big bites)...and a few snack chips things from a coworker
Lunch: healthy veggies, tofu, quinoa, maybe a pita bread some of an everything bagel from the deli with egg. some sun chips. lost my appetite, completely. coffee.
snack: big juicy apple, diet snapples
dinner: rest of my bagel and egg from lunch, rest of chips, big plain pita, some of the veggies, tofu. sounds like a lot, but not really.
total: around 1850 = major success...
exercise: MAJOR success. jogged for almost FORTY minutes! then some slow walking. total miles: 4. total time: a little over 50 minutes. nice.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
GREAT, successful day.
50 min cardio, jogging and walking on treadmill. quick 3 sets of dumbell raises for my biceps.
2100 calories.
my boss didn't want his lunch and gave it to me, so i had it for dinner at the gym after working out. haha, worked out PERFECTLY. it was sauteed spinach with garlic inside of whole wheat pizza dough! lol. that is actually healthy! :-) ohhh, and this was huge....it was over a foot long, i didn't eat all the dough, mostly just the inside, which was probably a good 2 cups of spinach with garlic. i couldn't help it, it was so good. then, i had what probably equalled half a bagel or a little more of the dough. was great.
good day, today.
lately i'm CRAVING carbs at lunch and just have been giving in. maybe i really do need them. mostly healthy carbs, but the craving has been there for two days. like today, i had 140 cal of chips and whole wheat bread (3 slices) toasted like 300 cal...and then some veggies/tofu. but i am just starving for carbs lately.
more about the carbs...i guess it makes sense as most of a healthy diet's calories are from the carbohydrate family. even like 70% of calories could be from carbs. with that being said, i'm hardly overdoing it, in my opinion.
i have been trying to maintain a healthy exercise approach, so maybe it is carbs i need to do so.
meanwhile, a lack of sleep cannot be helpful and today i didn't have any sorta snack before lunch....i was starving for it. tomorrow i will have a snack, probably a protein bar.
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
edit: 4 day average = 2275. that's good enough. tomorrow i work towards calorie reducing to meet my next weight goal!
5:30am big, tasty breakfast: oatmeal 220, yogurt 100, protein bar 250: 570.
snack: bar? 250?
lunch: healthy tofu, veggies, quinoa: 400 and a plain wrap 200 and a full bagel 300....i didn't have all the healthy part of lunch till after work, actually. i was very hungry, my stomach was gargling and upset all morning, the bread was supposed to help, but still i had problems.
after work: the rest of my lunch along with some pickled eggplants! yes, you heard right! my boss made them, mini eggplants the less than 3 inches long. wow. amazing. too much veggies have caused me horrible bloating...and a grapefruit.
horrible gas and bloating at work. probably due a little bit to last night's dinner (lotsof veggies yesterday, too many before bed) and lots of fiber in the AM. maybe just too much. i must watch it!
after working out: granola bar and coconut water 200.
total: 2000 cal. awesome!
exercise: 50 min cardio of slow walking with jogging. nice. and a little weights because sometimes i just can't say no!
Progress as of today: 10.5 lbs lost so far, only 5.5 lbs to go!
total calories for the past few days, 3 day average = 2366 cal per day = decent (considering this average includes a day of 3250 cal!). and over the next few days calories should be better as i'm prepared and have cooked healthy foods for lunch everyday! veggies,quinoa, tofu!
breakfast: oatmeal with rice milk 200, yogurt 100, rice cakes 100., aloe water 40., more yogurt 550. good!
snack: healthy fiber bar before working out 150
snack: drink and a few candies, no lunch. 800 total so far.
snack: coffee and a couple chocolates, rich kind! 250
dinner: healthy veggies, salad, eggplant rollettes microwave meal which i always love and will never be totally sick of haha. total can't be more than 600.
total today: 1650 calories. gonna say 1600. it was a healthy dinner.
GREAT. and exercise was superb, too. 4.5 mi run/jog and full weight routine for 1.5 hours in the morning at the gym. the jog was between 4:30-5:30 at the park. i had off and i used the day quite well, inbetween was a doctor appt. wonderful!
So far, thoughout these 3 months, it seems that I have basically been able to maintain my lower weight. However, I have not been able to acheive a lower weight yet. The only good that I can see in this is that my body has had the time to get used to being 125. But also, I actually feel heavier now than when I weighed 135! I don't know why, but I am used to this weight, 125, and I do feel ready to go lower. I have had small binges which are the reason I haven't been able to go lower this month. But, luckily, January is only half over, and if i work a little more seriously - focused without unnecessary binging, then I can at least lose one pound. For me, I lose weight as long as I don't binge.
Exercise: will be AM weights at the gym sorta far from me for a change of pace, shower there I think, home to just blow dry my hair, quick drive to queens to pick up dental records, doctor's appt, therapy?...we'll see. i have a lot to do today.
