edit: 1900....late dinner: big salad and dressinig, veggie burger, pretzels, big peach: 500 or so.

update on hot gym guy in the previous entry :-)
Breakfast: fresh, sorta, fig 40, large peach 90, oatmeal 150, milk 50, chocolate powder 50: 380..oops, i had a yogurt too which i didn't calculate! ... 480
snack: FRUIT 120 or so.
600.
snack: hot coffee?
lunch: starbucks egg wrap and coffee!...since i will be teaching right next door and i have a big break at lunchtime, for TWO hours. then some reading, I think. right now I will get out and do some bike riding... bar of some sort...maybe from starbucks! haha.
....depending how i feel, i was thinking of heading to the gym during that lunch break, possibly not going to starbucks at that time, and doing cardio....i really should!...we'll see how i feel after this morning's bike ride!
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
It seems my weight has at least stabalized and I'm still at around 136 in the morning, empty stomach. Hopefully I can break into under 135 really soon. Progress hasn't been bad, but it's gonna take time....and I am prepared for it this time around. I know once I can get the ball rolling, the weightloss will definitely become EASIER. I am not yet in a full weightloss mode, it seems my body is hanging on, seeing if I will binge again. I haven't binged and don't plan on it.
I cannot even believe that September is almost over. Time goes by sooo quickly! Well, I do still have about a week and a half of September left. In this time, my goal is to get below 135.
too all who celebrated and fasted today, i hope you had an easy fast. i stayed home, practically in bed all day, as fasting really was difficult to do, as it is for so many people. it felt good after all was said and done, to purge my body and start fresh on this Yom Kippur day.
dinner was spent with friends of our family: nothing too crazy. i ate really well for dinner, splurged a little on dessert. either way, i don't think i ate more than 1500-1600. all in all, a good day.
no exercise, wasn't feeling up to it today.
Update on the gym dude: i saw him Friday night. I didn't talk to him. He gave me a serious look, perhaps he thinks i'm staring at him...although i really don't. i made sure not to even workout anywhere near him. He comes in and does his workout really intensely and quickly and runs out. I don't think he's there to meet girls, at all. I think he's hot, but this guy is off limits to me. Also, i was told he doens't speak English well? He looks like he's a white American, apparently he's brazilian? lol. who knew!
he's nice to glance at every now and again. but that's gonna be all. there'll be others. and i'll be sure to update if anything changes.

2350, total cal. not really low, not really high. i am doing good. no real weightloss, and lately my weight has been a little over 136. but that is just due to normal fluctuations :-)
breakfast: one fresh fig! 40, apple 90, oatmeal with milk and chocolate powder 250, pineapple cottage cheese 140: 520.
early lunch: eggwhite on biscuit, bran, coffee: 430
snack: rice cakes, sorta like them anyways, and a peach: 200
early dinner?: yogurts w. a little granola and ovaltine 300, tofu sandwich 200
tsf: 1650, ok.
snack: tofu sandwich...not very hungry...but tired....but really felt i needed energy for the gym...who knows. 200, feeling i did have the calories to blow on a snack anyway.
dinner protein BARS: 500...a bit much, almost leading to a binge, but being that it's a fasting holiday, i just couldn't do it anymore...i will NOT binge again, i can do this! :-) and i am doing this.

Thanks for all of your "GUY advice" you are awesome, ladies!
Had a great day yesterday in upstate NY...not that far upstate, but enough. Dutchess County. I went to visit a friend of 10 years who i originally met in an orchestra i played in.
anyways, lots of biking and walking :-) on wednesday.
today, lots of driving home! I also drove her into NYC on my way home, which added probably 45 mintues onto my drive. Thankfully, I wasn't late for work at 4:30pm.
eating yesterday was probably around 2200.
eating today is around 1600. I've been snacking this evening, and it's almost midnight and i'm hungry. but i've given up and i'm just gonna go to bed. because i just had food...and really don't need anymore.
I have not binged in a long time now...let's calculate...but i have now been tempted to binge MANY times and it's getting a bit harder...i CAN do this!..
last binge was still Friday, Sept 3. So I'm doing good. It's been 13 days, almost 2 weeks. :-)
calories are not always very low, but not binging is much more important to me right now. and i'm doing good and I am feeling better.

Hot Gym Dude: here's an update...
So I did end up running into him last night. It seems he does go at the same time, possibly even EVERY day. Next time I will be at the gym is Wednesday night. But, in some ways, I don't even want to see him there on Wednesday!...
He does notice me there. But he always has such a serious face that it's imtimidating for me to even make eye contact with him. I did yesterday though, but he didn't break a smile in the least!
I find him so attractive, even down to the clothes he works out in! haha. I like his attitude and enthusiasm....I just wish I could talk to him.
But, it seems he isn't interested in talking. I think he just be eager to come in and get out in the fastest time possible at the gym...considering he may even go EVERY day...
If I did talk to him, I would tell him that he's in great shape! And ask how long he's been working out or something. I asked a woman yesterday at the gym and I even felt weird asking her about her routine. So I really don't know...it will be hard to approach him, really hard. But he really did at least look my way yesterday....but it was almost like an evil??? face he gave me...it was so serious, it almost upset me...
I felt bad bc I didn't go for it yesterday. I should have at least complimented him. For some reason, I don't want him to think I'm swooning over him...
He is very good looking, and may be out of my league. But, for some reason, I still logically think that it could work?
What are your tips/advice? Do you think I should just keep him as a crush that motivates me to look good and workout?
I actually did my hair, blow dry and straightened with iron and nicely put together, JUST TO WORKOUT at the gym yesterday!!!!!!!!
Breakfast: apple 100, yogurt 130, oatmeal and milk 250, some jello 30: 510 ok.
early lunch: biscuit w. egg white, bran, coffee: 400
snack: salad 100, fruit, bran w. lots of deli chicken breast: hopefully all not more than 400
tsf: 1310, good.
snack: coffee
dinner: peach, lots of cereal/milk: around 350
1760 or so.
exercise: 3 mi walk.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
I've been in a similar situation... REALLY REALLY hot guy working out at the gym... and like you said right down to his clothes... but I just smiled even though I wanted to walk up to him and give him my number and he smiled back.... but I never saw him again... I dunno I'm all about making the first move, and being brave and introducing myself, but for some reason I think the gym is the worst place to do it if they are REALLY into working out...unless you can catch him on his way out
Breakfast: apple 90, yogurt 130, oatmeal w. milk and chocolate powder 200: 420.
snack: banana on piece of wheat bread 240

tsf: 1360, good.
snack: fruit 100

exercise: AM for elliptical...PM for weights :-) Maybe I'll see Mr. Hottie there.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!

Thanks for all of your bday wishes to me! :-)
last binge was fri, sept 3. i don't want to jinx myself, but i'm doing well. no binge in over one week. I will not binge this week. I am going to reach my goals this month for sure.
next mini goal will be 130 lbs. but for now, i'm set on reaching 135 and staying there!
edit: total cal around 1750-1800. nice day. i must say, as of late i'm a bit more tired than usual. usually, this leads to a binge. but i have nothing stressful going on in my life right now, i've taken a little break from job hunting and will probably begin a desk job that pays fine for the time being in the next 3 weeks or so. right now, i hvae lessons that i'm living off of, music lessons that is. oh, and visiting grandma 1 or 2 times per week and my dad actually compensates for gas...minimal compensation but everything helps.
exercise: minimal. 1.5 mile walk, 30 min bike ride (i almost didn't do this and i'm so glad i got the extra exercise in!)

I woke up this morning feeling extra light :-) It may just be water weight since i had a lot of caffiene yesterday which is a diuretic...but we'll see! :-) yay.
wow, if i could keep my weight around this number, soon i'll be at my FIRST goal. someone on here advised me to make an easier, closer, 5 lb goal. and yes, that was a great idea!
breakfast: grapes 100, yogurt w. cocoa mix 180, oatmeal w. light milk if you can believe that one! 200: 480. yum.

moogy on 09/19/2010:
I am really enjoying seeing all the planning you are putting into your food. You know what you are having, or a least planning to have and working it in to a good programe. You have come a long way in a couple of weeks HOP. I am so pleased for you and you are right you do have a great start now and can move on to losing some weight. Maybe we could swop houses and you could have my summer!!!
V on 09/19/2010:
Did someone say Starbucks???? LOL You didn't binge and your meals were healthy,we all sometimes overshoot our caloric goals but sometimes the body might need a little more fuel....Still think you should at least say hello to Brazil Boy LOL!
