defintiely somewhat tired this morning. body is a little bit sore, too. otherwise, doing good. i changed my weight again, lowered it about a pound. the scale didn't exactly say it but i weighed at night and after eating a lot - so i can assume this is my new weight.
breakfast: 2 light yogurts, blueberries 260. good. almost reached for more but i realized it was more anxiety and feeling tired than hungry!
snack: not sure if i will.
lunch: a pizza place with my friend....i'll get a LARGE diet soda and a small something or other! lol.
snack: later...no clue, with my friend...
dinner: not at all sure! :)
exercise: walking around today at a nature place with a visiting friend.
today is obviously up in the air!
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 17 lbs to go!
edit: Great day today! i'm really proud of myself, actually. usually, i will totally binge and screw up after going to some kind of outing or gathering, especially if it's with people that aren't my "best" friends. well, i DIDN'T screw up today! no. i'm so pleased and content with how this day went. then i had a bbq with family and ate really healthy. yeah, lots of cals. but really healthy. a hamburger and then TONS of veggies. around 800.
total cal today: 1800.
exercise: bike 20 min, 2.5 mile walk, 10 min elliptical, back, pushups, abs.
wonderful, successful, day.
cheers to many more.
tomorrow i'm giving my friend a tour of some of Long Island. should be a wonderful weekend.
cheers to continuing my journey and being the best i can be!
today's a new day right!?
darn this damn picnic i have to go to with my class. but best part, i live the closest, in walking distance. some people will drink, but not i. not during the day. i'd absolutely ruin my day doing that. then, exercise might be difficult later, etc.
breakfast: peach 60, yogurt 80, bread 110, avocado 100, egg 60, black pepper. total: 410. i needed something substantial....glad i had this breakfast, made it so i didn't binge at the school bbq at the park! :)
snacking: at bbq? LOTS of coke zero, veggies from the veggie platter i brought (thank gosh...it was the ONLY healthy thing on the table!!!! :) happy about that!) 100, shot of tequila 100, mikes hard lemonade bottle 250 total at the bbq: 450 or so. (what a lunch, right!?) haha
snack:?
dinner: lol, another bbq back at my house....will be healthy.....i obviously cannot have a 1200 or really low cal day, which is fine. (i need to remember that not succeeding in having a VERY low cal day does NOT mean that it is a wasted day....will still be a good day without binging today. i guess anything below 2200 or so is good for today....)
hopefully exercise later, maybe watching a movie at home tonight with my uncle who came in from CA.
Progress as of today: 3 lbs lost so far, only 17 lbs to go!
2100 total....had a yogurt and a few extra things with dinner. off 2 the park soon!
i've been reading more which is good. it's nice to be able to put your mind into a book and concentrate on things besides facebook and tv, lol. ...and i need to return these books to the library before they become overdue!
last binge was june 6th i believe. that was almost 3 weeks or 21 days ago. i can break the binge habit. it's getting easier, definitely. there's NOTHING stopping me. you'll see, the weight is gonna be OFF by the end of August. I WILL BE 120. and i cannot wait. (but i will wait, bc the pounds don't melt off in ONE DAY!). i'm gonna do it, you watch!
best part about my weightloss: i still have TWO WHOLE MONTHS. it's still JUNE, and progress is being made!
early breakfast: yogurt, peach: 160
late breakfast party at school: medium wheat bagel w. some buttery spread stuff (noth much spread, so i'm guessing around 400 and bagel was not too large) one small chocolate chip muffin maybe 150 or so, coffee 60? with stupid fatty milk that's all there was, and a diet drink to help fill me which worked: total here approx: 610 not too bad.
lunch: cape cod potato chips (made only with oil, potato, salt), diet drinks blah. 200
snack: clif bar 260, then i also took some tofu at home before cleaning the bathroom i hate cleaning it lol 100....and i want to exercise after. so 360 on snack
calories before dinner: 1310...i guess i'll try to keep this day 1600s-1700s which is good. i almost forgot i had that small breakfast this morning when i was figuring my calories out so far! lol .
dinner: 2 red peppers100 , eggplant rollettes350, servings pretzels 220 total here: 670 fine.
total approx calories if i stick to this: 1980. whatev. can't be perfect everyday. walk after dinner or gym later.
gym:definitely going to BIKE there...no rain today (we had a whole month of june rain EVERYDAY except today and one other! wow. so happy to exercise a bit outside too.
not sure if i REALLY lost a pound more, but 2 out of 20 lbs is already 1/10th of the weight I want to lose gone!!!! that's a lot!
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 18 lbs to go!
total cal: 1370. had 600 for dinner. still fantastico! gym was great.
breakfast and lunch combined: egg white 60, avocado 100, sandwich cut in half 200 for bread, included a peach around 80 for breakfast and coffee 70 at lunch: total so far: 510. (was going to eat more this morning but time started to fly and i missed having a snack. cool.)
snack: 2 yogurts 160, blueberries 1 cup 100
total before dinner: 770 or so NICE. wowsers. i WILL eat around 1250....damn good day!!!!!!!!! tomorrow i have a breakfast to attend....ugh...but i will enjoy it, duh - and bring a LOT of no cal drinks (probably 2 of them...) to fill me so i don't overeat. that is my recent trick - eat the food, fill up after on low cal (coffee at lunch usually) or no cal drinks.
dinner: i plan on a eggplant rollettes (microwaved by celantano foods, love this dish...) 350, salad, a red pepper, yogurt key lime pie flavor. should add up around 450.
gym: will be back, abs, pushups, elliptical for ONE HOUR or 45 minutes if i have to tone it down...which i might have to. was on my feet most of today.
Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 18 lbs to go!
Good day to you!
i am completing my journey towards weightloss as we speak. no more "tomorrow i'll begin" or "tomorrow i'll make up for today." each day is a continuation of this journey and i WILL be successful in my weightloss each and every day. i have no tests, i'll i have to do is watch tv and study on commercials all summer. i can totally do this. no stress here. and once this summer passes i'll be ready to continue my progress throughout the year. this summer is what i need to "change my life." i need to get healthier, leaner, stronger.
need to sleep better tonight!

Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 19 lbs to go!
Doing good in continuation of your goals.... Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey all!
hey thinn! thanks so much for your comment on yesterday's entry. I do plan on total success this time around. there is simply no other choice! :) I am not perfect but i am happy with the direction i'm headed!
breakfast: 250: 2 light yogurts, one cup blueberries.
snack: i made it at home and brought it to school. one slice crappy wheat bread (has like no fiber yuck!), 1/4 large avocado, 1/4 cup eggwhite, black pepper flakes. 230. (not bad for something so balanced and healthy, despite a lack of fiber.)
lunch: eh. diet coke and subway veggie sub. around 250. eh. lacks protein. not great, not terrible.
snack: full bar 170. many drinks. 30. total: 200
total before dinner 930 fantastico. goal for today: 1350. go me!
dinner plan: microwavable, veggies.
exercise: after i relax a little. was on my feet about 1/2 the day....
doing ok. :)
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 19 lbs to go!
about 830 totally healthy, veggies and all!, calories before dinner.
family went out for an ITALIAN dinner but i actually ordered some great foods....lots of grilled veggies, and my dish was shrimp and beans!! how cool. in a light sauce. i did eat a LOT though...it was sorta worth it. and i stuck with coffee for dessert, didn't start in with the baked goods, thank gosh!
so, if i have to stretch it, i think i may have eaten up to 2200s today. not bad like 4,000....i am very happy with this amount. healthy foods all day. happy.
weightloss is coming, slowly. but, there is really no rush...i will just be happy if by the end of the summer there is a difference. that is all i am wishing for. and i'm really, really trying. i may not be perfect with limiting the foods i eat, but i am still progressing with the weightloss efforts.
i am thankful for the health god has granted me and in my ability to be able to exercise and have the time to get healthy. there is nothing preventing me and i have already STARTED and am ready to continue this challenging journey into weightloss all summer (and for the rest of my life...). when i do lose the weight, this SECOND time around, it will be for good. I will NEVER let this happen again. I don't think, after i get through all of this, I will EVER let myself reach over 120 again....i can't wait for the day i reach that weight. it will be a marvelous day. especially if it is in August and not later. but what will be will be....
exercise today: 25 min bike ride, 15 min elliptical, back, abs, pushups, walk with grandma (we got SOAKED as i did not bring an umbrella - now i will ALWAYS have one when we go walking...).
goodnight. take care for now.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 19 lbs to go!
once again, i'll be nice to myself...and guess that the calories for today were 2250 or so. i had tortilla chips that probably amounted to 2 servings, singapore shrimp rolls (not fried), lettuce wraps for dinner. ate all of everything pretty much. so dinner was probably 1200 or so cals...(hopefully not more!!)
total today: 2250. whatev. it's the weekend, you know!? better than staying home and binging on 4000.....
only exercise: 45 min elliptical, abs, back, pushups...i wonder if all that helped me burn 2,000 calfor the whole day today....prob not. but at least i got off my ass!
gooood morning all. just doing some laundry and putting some away before heading out to the park in a bit. i'll take a long walk....then who knows. the gym. lol. today is going to be a big exercise day no matter what. then headed out to dinner and a movie with some friends. going to see The Hangover. yay.
I've been learnig that by eating meals with a bit more carbs, i can get satisfiend faster - as long as the carbs are the healthy fibrous ones. for instance breakfast:
Breakfast: 1/2 lg banana 60?, cup fiber one 120, 1/2 cup milk 40, light n fit yogurt 80. total: 300 and i was full,satisfied. lately, i've NOT been having enough fiber, i used to never have this problem, and i can feel it when going to the bathroom. lol, i know, TMI. but fiber is important, it shouldn't be a struggle to go #2. so i must increase fiber somewhat. maybe i will have to generally stop eating chips and coffee as my lunch during work! lol. fell back to sleep after breakfast today...sheesh. it was a busy week and i was TIRED!
snack: peach, light n fit watermelon yogurt. 150 or so.
lunch: healthy, avocado, egg white sandwich w. a red pepper and a plum tomato. 280 or so.
total so far: 730 :)
snack: 90 cal special k bar, sodas 10
total so far: 830 very nice. now, out 2 dinner. i have enough calories left over to have a nice dinner...i'll try not to go too overboard. but if i wanted, i could easily eat 1,000 calories for dinner and not have to worry. so there! =-)
dinner: out to dinner. maybe a salad at the california pizza kitchen. i'm excited to go out for dinner and eat something tasty.
exercise: lots....?
have a great day everyone.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 19 lbs to go!
i think i'm finally below 140: 139. feels good. and it's just gonna get lower. i can't handle the weight anymore, it takes too much of my energy away...
you know what's cool, i'm 1/20th closer to my goal. 19/20ths doesn't sound like much....so, it's TOTALLY achievable. i'm sooooo not worried right now. how could i NOT accomplish this by summer's end!? i can do this. it is easy. i can do it. i will not be defeated ever again. ever!
1560 cal.good!
today i've been feeling down. perhaps i should do as rlovell does...and just think positive. just right positive things here and not always be so negative.
i did made a few mistakes today during clinical and i just feel i've been embarassing myself too much with one of the administrators...and i'm just trying to do my best...i don't want this attempt at a new career to be worse than when i worked as a teacher...so i'm frustrated with myself right now. and i'm trying to see what i can do/how i can act to make my situation better rather than worse.
breakfast: 2 yogurts, sliced peach: 240
snack: bar: 140
lunch: coffee, sandwich i made at home and brought with me: 1/4 avocado, one slice bread, 1/4 cup egg white. this is a filling and totally healthy sandwich. although the bread doesn't have the best amount of fiber (i didn't buy it..., usually we have a better bread in my house!) 280
snack : bowl of fiber one, half cup milk. and 4 light n fit yogurts, LOL...big, i know. 500
total so far: 1160. sticking to the 1500s....was on my feet most of the day....gym later this afternoon/evening...nap and resting right now...
dinner: definitely a bunch of veggies and something microwavable. 400
tomorrow i'll be meeting up with friends, looking foward to that. need my mind off of school, i'm TOTALLY burned out right now. my trip to israel in approx. 2 weeks should be good for me.
take care and thanks for all your comments even though i've been slacking...it's somtimes hard during the week....i'm gonna comment now...
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 19 lbs to go!
As I tell my daughter, NO ONE is perfect - Some one may be better at hopscotch, but you may be better at hula hoops. Just do your best. Take back control of our lifestyle (which you are doing - exceedingly well) and everything else will fall into place. Success in one area inevitably translates into success in others......it's all just a state of mind. Feel good about yourself and goodness will follow. You're already starting to feel it - Embrace it!!!
breakfast: 250 fruit, 2 light yogurts (starting to get sick of them, finally!)
snack: 150 kashi bar
lunch: 250 avocado/egg white on one slice toast, coffee

You are doing great! I really love reading your diary. You inspire me :-)
Have you started seeing the psychologist yet? Don't answer until I write a more recent post. I'm coming back to DD soon.
Enjoy your day!
