dinner was too sugary. a large grapefruit, large orange, seaweed salad again which deffinitely is marked too low in calories!, piece tofu, cellnique. too much food but i'm not going back for more. i should have had one less fruit, no seaweed salad. total: around 500
total cal today: 1620 still ok. hopefully i'm not really too off with calories...
i went to yoga, it was worth it. will go in the AM.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i promise to comment tonight on all your entries!
happy friday, happy weekend. i need it! i want to just throw in the towel and not do yoga tonight, but why!? why should i mess with good health because i'm tired. yoga will make me feel better. it's what my body needs and it's like a medicine. i have to remember this...always.
breakfast: apple, cellnique (you can look it up to see what it is online) 170
snack: drink 80 cellnique
lunch: a healthy (jk) hot pretzel w. ketchup/mustard and a coffee w. extra milk 420
snack: a little large so i am going to the later yoga class for sure. whole bag popcorn, 250, and a package of a store bought seaweed salad. i bought two of them, not sure if i believe the calories are really this low and there's a bit much garlic. not sure if i'll buy again. 200 (450 total) i've been VERY munchy these past few days...due to being TIRED! this is what lack of sleep does to a person.
total so far: 1120
i can keep it in the 1500s. this would be really good.
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
Breakfast: stopped at DD for a bagel w. egg but didn't eat it all! wow. 300
snack: NONE. CRAZY MORNING.
lunch: Large Hot Pretzel with ketchup/mustard, coffee. 500
snack: green/protein drink, shot wheatgrass
400...plus 130 (lots of broccoli rab with pine nuts/raisins seasoned/oil from health food store!, 2 whole cucumbers, tofu...small orange, small apple)
total: 1430.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
this is short because i have used all my anger crying...but luckily i have gotten that out of my system. perhaps i'll talk about it tomorrow.
but after posting today's calories, i had to come on here again to say that in the past week, calories were not over 1550 i believe. now that IS progress. I went from binging every other day for months straight to keeping calories in check starting with the New Year. I am very happy.
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
Hang in there!
Sorry you had a bad day.... Crying can do wonders though.... Check back on ya tomorrow... Get some sleep!
Oh the last paragraph in my entry isn't speaking to anyone here..just in general about how sometimes some things make you want to lose weight the right way and not by starvation and pills. I don't think anyone here is doing that, just thinking about it out loud I guess lol. Glad you had a good cry...I had one the other night myself =)
Have a great evening and keep up the fantastic work!
breakfast: 170 drink, apple
snack: 80 drink
lunch: big wrap w. turkey and mustard 450
snack: 240 bar
total so far: 940. really tiring day. i NEED to get MORE sleep. i've been going to bed way too late.
dinner: at first i was just planning on a smoothie made with a banana, a pear, some protein/fiber mix, and some light soy milk. all that for just 330 cal. but, i also ate some tofu with a really healthy quart of kale made with seasoning from a health food store. probably around 200 more cal. totaling 530 approx. but it was worth it...plus 2 red peppers (bingy mood!) 80
total cal: 1550which is still good.
i did hot yoga, glad i went! i almost shot it down because i was exhausted! you see, i have to get up early, around 6am....so even going to bed at 11 is too late!
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
I took your advice and I'm so excited to tell you that I ate a veggie stir fry!!! The best part is I LOVED it! It occured to me that I do like some veggies although I always figured the one's I like aren't all that great for you, that they're more empty veggies.....I don't know....maybe you can shed some light on it for me. I actually love onions, mushrooms, peppers, cucumbers and potatoes. I like raddishes and carrots but only raw, and I'll eat corn but only corn-on-the-cob (which usually involves butter which I'm completely avoiding)
Anyways, I thought since I don't mind some chinese food I picked up bean sprouts at the store and I steamed them with mushrooms, onions & red peppers. Then I added about 4 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast (cooked with no butter, just spiced) then I added it together, put a little bit of soy sauce on it and it was delicious! I know it likely seems like an odd combo but I just put in things that I liked and it was really tasty.....to me at least :0) Now I'm wondering how to put it all into fitday to work out my calories.....hmmmm....
So I don't know how great those kind of veggies are as far as nutrition and vitamins but HOP I ate veggies and liked it, woo-hoo!!! So enough about me but I just had to share this with the "Veggie Queen" herself....you :0)
tuesday...off to an ok start but could have used more sleep!
B: 170 drink, apple
S: 80 green drink
L: 250 1/2 turkey wrap
snack: coffee 50
huge ass dinner: 32 brussel sprouts with some oil stir fry along with scallion 450, tofu90, 2 peppers 60, green beans w. almonds 115 (total around 700)
total: 1250 nice. :) i may have something small though later.
snack: cellnique.
final total: awesome at 1330. wahoo! I can make this work!
no yoga because i stayed at school late and i want to relax and also wanted to enjoy a large dinner without needing to go to bed right after. tomorrow i'll be back to my normal schedule with yoga.
Progress as of today: -10 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
Oatmeal with nuts & fruit ~ Isn't that something.... You can't eat it, cause you would want more...But for me, it is a great day starter... Truthfully, I don't like breakfast.... Never have, but know I must make myself eat it to benefit my body the best....
Great Wednesday thoughts to you!
(this is for me: in the past 30 days, i've binged on 14 of them. some binges were not huge but others were. however, in the past 7 days, i've binged once and it was BEFORE the new year. i am doing well for myself)
i just ate dinner WAY too late, at 8pm ending at 8:45 and i was going to try to go to bed early. i made the mistake of eating in the kitchen (i usually don't haha) and i went back for 350 more calories after my dinner. it was a mini binge. the good thing is i stopped myself (due to fullness!) and didn't ruin the calorie count for good today, thank god! i put some hard work into my yoga practice.
as for my professor that just passed away, turns out the funeral was a more relaxed graveside funeral. also, the wife will NOT being having people over to sit shiva as they call it. so, i am left to send a card. i would have went to her house, and was planning on running over today after work, but now i'll be writing out a card to her and enclosing a picture of her husband with me at a music recital i played in college. i'll never forget him. :) good man! :) thanks for your comments about this.
calories throughout day till yoga: 660 mostly really healthy.
calories for dinner: WAY too much but mostly healthy besides the 350 extra. total: 820 dinner calories which is not so good right before bed!
total calories today are ok: 1480. but i do need to eat a little less next time and not in the kitchen - i always go back for more. it's weird, but i usually eat at a table i have in my room. don't ask!
lots of interesting things went on today and i'm happy to be back on school because life will not progress if you're only on vacation!
Progress as of today: -12 lbs lost so far, only 22 lbs to go!
AS for your day ~ YAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats for "stopping"... :o)
it's gonna be a busy night. school tomorrow after 10 lovely days off. sorry i'm not gonna comment on your diaries.
snack: dunkin donuts med iced coffee 70
lunch: popcorn, cellnique 340
snack: cellnique (yeah, i drink it too much!) 90
dinner: humongous! veggies seasoned/salted 220, more veggie stir fry w. tofu 180, more peppers 90, kombucha 60. total here: 550 good stuff, man!
total for today: 1240! yeah man, nice way to start off the week! i will do this! i will lose this weight! i will do it, yeah!
update: i will definitely go to pay shiva at my professor's wife's house sometime this week. i must observe his passing and he had a profound impact on my life so i will definitely go and pay my respects.

i got an email saying my french horn professor from 2000-2004 while in college died recently. He was teaching at the university while either in his late 70s or possibly it was his 80s. I'm not sure. He was REMARKABLE. one of the most honorable and respected people i've known in my life. he was a horn player for the Chicago Symphony as well as the Radio City Music Hall in NYC. It actually made me unable to sleep and I'm up around 5am today. I'm unable to go to the funeral which is during the day monday and even though i feel sorta bad, i will only be sending a card. I will definitely write a lot, not just my sincere condolences, but i cannot bring myself to go the his wife's house, especially because of my decisions to step out of the world of music. she doesn't know me very well if she does remember me at all from the few times i was in his house for lessons when we didn't have them at school. i regard him highly and it's a lot to think about. i'm sure the funeral will be filled. I'm not sure how he died, but he was very active i know up till a few years ago - then i lost tough with him after graduating. i actually feel a pang of guilt not stopping by the house which is about 30 minutes away. i hope i don't go to hell for this.
breakfast: tea, cellnique, grapefruit.... it's not even 7am yet... 190
Progress as of today: -12 lbs lost so far, only 22 lbs to go!
so i woke up without a huge appetite today. my abdomen is still doing some somersaults. not sure why. it was killing last night. i think TOM actually has a lot to do with it. i'm sure thinn is dealing with this too!
last night yoga was killing my abdomen even more, i almost walked out. so i'm taking a break from it today. :) I need the cardio. Been sitting on my butt on break!
breakfast 9:30am: grapefruit, cellnique. 200
lunch: salmon canned w. bbq sauce, apple 220
snack: green drink 80
dinner: large, out to eat, very good. sesame cucumber salad, vegetarian lettucewraps. couldn't be more than 1,000. dunkin donuts iced coffee later.
total around 1500 today. nicely done to me! :)
exercise: no yoga thankfully! i needed a break. instead, 45 minutes elliptical, some situps, some pushups! nice day, very nice day.
what a movie: the mysterious case of benjamin button - be ready to cry, cry, and cry some more. SO SAD. SO GOOD. this is really a great movie as all the tv advertisements say!
Progress as of today: -12 lbs lost so far, only 22 lbs to go!
"Bottle of 96" ~ No No No... Not a bottle.... It was a box of Sudafed.... If I drank anything that came in a bottle other than Sobe, Pom or Soda Pop, I would be flat on my behind......
"Carbs" ~ My pantry has been super low on the better choices and I got to go to WalMart last night to replenish... I hadn't gone shopping for a bit, cause I can't stand the HUGE crowds... Now holidays are over, it's much better.
Have a great day!

This is the 1st time I've ever seen pics of you HOP....nice to see you! You look happy and what a beautiful smile you have! Nice yoga pose too! I've never really tried yoga but I love pilates!
Your so fantastic about commenting on everyone's diaries HOP....I need to make more time for that. I read almost everyones but I don't comment all the time....maybe it's because I'm not so good at being "brief" with my comments...tee-hee. I'm kind of liking Donkey's "Donkey was here"...at least it lets people know you read their entry :0)
All the best to you in 2009!

happy new year! glad i didn't go to the city because it's WAY too cold outside! :)
calories...ugh! there wasn't great choices and i gave in. good thing though, i didn't have the cookies. but i did have two slices of pizza.
calories today are 2900. oh well. another day lost but i'll balance it out tomorrow. i guess you gotta have fun sometimes and it is a holiday. BUT, i also need to reach m goal. I just cannot give in! I need to be 115 by April. there's no reason i can't but i cannot continue to have days like this.
This was the last day of December. Now it is January 1st and almost 2am. I will make it so this year is a comeback for me. It is starting well. I am happy. although it's late, i'm going to yoga tomorrow, 9:30am.
goodnight!
==============================================
calories before going out: 800...I might as well try to be good...but also we're ordering in Italian....I may have to kinda allow more than 1500...we'll see....weightloss is still more important to me than giving in.....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
today has been good. i'm craving something at the moment but i just cannot let myself down - i just won't allow it!
breakfast: cellnique drink, apple. 170
big lunch: Humongous stirfry. olive oil 300, 4 servings of broccoli/caulifower 100, package of brussel sprouts 80, little bit of diced peppers/onions 10, lettuce while i cooked 10, tofu 50. total around 550.
total so far: 720....i CAN do it....i will probably have at least one cookie tonight...which i look foward to...but it's gonna be a challenge, the whole night that is. AND, i'm sleeping over....so i might actually bring one of those cellnique drinks for the morning. i've GOT to keep going with my progress. I'd LOVE to be under 135 by Monday. :) or, if that's too lofty, 135 on Monday.
Progress as of today: -13 lbs lost so far, only 23 lbs to go!
i'm beyond happy - i'm ecstatic at how well i did. i stuck it out and followed a plan to not overindulge in snacking. and it worked.
dinner after yoga: small apple, orange, cell-nique. 250 total.
total today: 1050! listen, it makes up for yesterday, sorta. :) happiness. and my two day average is 2075. better, better. plan for tomorrow is 1500.
yoga was GREAT tonight. there was a HOT teacher, so i tried extra hard. it was my best class i did since the summer!
goodnight.
yoga in the morning...then preparing for NYE with a small group of good friends! I hope you all enjoy your NYE too.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
wow! thanks for all your great comments. It seems that you guys are all back from your holidays on DD.
So I slept late today and missed the morning yoga class. That's actually ok though for mutliple reasons. First, I value sleep on a vacation more than waking up on time for yoga. Next, I need to buy a casual but new outfit to wear on NYE. It's nothing fancy, I'll probably wear jeans, but it was to look good. So, nothing expensive as I put the majority of my money into yoga/food, I'll go to Old Navy. And, if that doesn't work out, Kmart. I cannot spend a lot for clothes. and i'm ok with this because clothes are clothes! it's hard for people to tell what is cheap or if you bought something in kmart rather than macy's. I used to go to Express, Gap, and Ann Taylor Loft a lot for work. but now thankfully i can wear scrubs.
moving on.
I made sure to have liquids after yoga last night so that i wouldn't wake up extra dehydrated and famished this morning. It worked, thankfully.
9:30 Breakfast: Grapefruit, Cell-Nique drink :) 180
lunch: big healthy 400
snack 1: small coffee 30
snack 2: special k protein bar 180
it's gonna be a GREAT day after all. thank god i stuck to my plans and gut. didn't overeat again. :) so far, around 800 cal. today will totally be 1200! making my 2 day average 2150 which is acceptable for two days. i'm waaaay proud.
and i'm going to try really hard tomorrow not to have more than 1500. I KNOW i can do it - I KNOW i will NOT give into what my friends want me to eat, either. i will make good choices!
snack 3 after yoga: Cell-nique drink...
dinner: not sure. something light.
2.5 mi walk outside and hot yoga tonight at 6:30 pm! yay!
Progress as of today: -14 lbs lost so far, only 24 lbs to go!
Anyways, thanks for all of your comments all the time - you are one of the only people who still comments on my entries and I really do appreciate it. Hopefully someday I will be able to journal more frequently and comment on other's journals more frequently too. Maybe I should quit my job and do nothing but journal on dietdiaries all day. I think everyone'd get pretty sick of me after a while!!!
Take care and have fun on NYE!!
Have a wonderful NYE celebration with your friends!

hopinforachange on 01/09/2009:
good for you for making it to yoga. Have a good night and get some sleep. :)
Maria* on 01/09/2009:
Looks like you are really doing well! Congratulations to you and thank you for what you wrote to me!
sleeepy on 01/10/2009:
"i want to just throw in the towel and not do yoga tonight, but why!? why should i mess with good health because i'm tired" That sentence reminded me of my "No Excuses Attidtude" I had 5 years ago. Total I had lost 70 pounds. I would get home from work and be so tired, but I would tell myself "No Excuses." And if there were no excuses during those miserable, busy months of my life, there's absolutely no excuse for me now because I'm not working. Sure I'm going back to school, and its hard as hell, but its nothing like a hellish day at a job you hate and then geting home so depressed and exhausted, and STILL work out. Anyways, let us know tomorrow if you "threw in the towel." I'll let you all know if I took my Alli pill and didnt eat fatty food :)
