sunday entry:
arg. a little upset about yesterdays binge. i don't think yoga is a great idea today and if i do feel better i'll go to the park for a walk later in the day. I allowed myself to feel stressed out for little reason this weekend.
on Friday, the i got a very unspecific, but detailed enough review of the work I have done this year as an assistant teacher. Basically, I was rated 1 to 4 based on how I performed certain tasks. I mostly got the highest mark, 1, for everything. I got a 2 on two things, one being assisting with lesson plan preparation. The teacher I assist does most of that! duh! or i'd be a teacher. The other 2 i got was on organization. i thought i was fully organized so i'll bring that up with the teacher i assist to see what she means.
then, at the end of the review, there were a few comment sections. one of them was "improvements for next year." well, the principal/teacher that i assist wrote that I should continue to work with kids and follow my desires. lol! That stressed me out bc this whole year i have been preparing to go to radiography school in september. And that's what I am still doing! Of course i still do this job well and sometimes feel like i'm putting on an act (just like everyone does at times in life) to be the best i can be and so the kids enjoy being with me. what else is new.
my whole life i feel like i'm being pushed and pulled into careers and other things i just don't want to do. many times i don't even know what i want to do.
i woke up a little later today which is great. went shopping at the supermarket and had breakfast and now i want some fruit. so i'm having it. have a good day everyone.

saturday late entry:
not really sure why i binged except i was REALLY tired and my sister was making me more than frustrated as she came home from the city for the night. huh. it's up to me to make good choices. now i'll be behind in my weightloss. i'll make up by continuing to do well starting now.
pm edit: shooot! i binged! i'll list it: started with dinner: tofu and canned soup...then: 4 servings potato chips, pb sandwich, chocolate bar, 2 servings ice cream, chocolate candy, 4 servings ritz crackers, cream cheese, 4 milano cookies, dried fruit. if that's not a binge, i don't know what is. ugh. oh well. tomorrow i must start fresh. oh, piece of gum
total calories today: 4300.
last binge of 4500 was May 13 which was 18 days ago. eesh. I can do better than this!
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
I hope you get to feeling better. You've done your best and it sounds like not only that but you've done a good job!
You're young, so don't feel like you 'have' to continue in a career you may not be wanting to stay with.
Hope you feel better!
Totally know what you mean by push/pull and in EVERY direction...Today is one of those days!
i struggled through yoga today and was tired the rest of the day. went for a walk with my 87 yr old grandma and couldn't believe her stamina. I felt like I was going to pass out the whole time.
so i'm taking a break for the rest of the night and I am letting my body relax. I ended up not picking up a movie at blockbuster like i had planned and there's like nothing to watch on TV!
breakfast: cereal/milk 200
snack: greens packet in my water after yoga 35
early lunch: apple and p.cc and yogurt: 320 and strawberries: 380 feeling a bit bingy. :( but i'm stopping now.
snack: yellow pepper, salt/pepper flavored soy chips: 180 two huge bottles of powerade zero
snack: 2 yellow peppers 60 and peach
total so far: 895.
perhaps i'll go out to pick up a video, but it's highly unlikely.

Friday entry:
today was a long, stressful day. It began with my mom screaming at me for doing laundry in the morning before her shower. I didn't think she cared anymore because she did laundry right before she showered this past weekend. I thought she really wouldn't care because she wasn't even showering right after my laundry! whatever. stress. guess i won't do it again since it matters if i do laundry - but not when she does hers.
breakfast: peach, cereal, milk: 240
snack: cc: 110 and cough drop: 10
lunch: yogurts, cc: 270 and diet coke with my tea. it was a BAD day. I had binge symptoms. wanted to eat more after i was full. the teacher i teach with had a long meeting and I was stuck with the difficult kids - which is fine, but they were taking advantage bc she wasn't there. they like me, but they still took advantage and wouldn't be quiet and just do their work! arg!
snack: strawberries: 60
dinner: I was planning on something very large and satisfying and that's what it was! Huge salad w. dressing, brown rice with tofu w. asian dressing, large apple, small peach., piece of spearmint gum 635
total: 1325 which is ok by me. good exercise at the park bike riding for about 1 hr, 40 min. :)
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Have a great weekend!
my stomach is beginning to feel less fatty and it makes me feel SO much better. I am starting to like very much the direction in which I'm headed! I was motivated when I weighed myself this morning - although the scale said 3 very different weights each time haha. So I listed an average.
i went on another 6 mi walk today. It was really hard for me. I should totally not do it tomorrow and go to yoga instead. I know myself, I will wear myself out before i can recover. I was proud of myself to do it again but i was in a small amount of pain in my ankle for over half the time. However, i don't want to give up and do nothing. I plan to be at the cross island 6 mi walk again Sunday or earlier.
boy is this week flying by! perhaps we should have 4 day workweeks more often!
breakfast: cereal/milk: 250
snack: cc 110
lunch: yogurts/cc: 250
snack: large apple: 130
snack: small iced decaf from DD 40
dinner: lean cuisine meal, plain yogurt, huge salad with lettuce/tomato and dressing, two small peaches. 500
total: an awesome 1280!!! :) so good!
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Have a wonderful Friday tomorrow!
Have a great weekend!
exercise: at least 6 miles walking. lovely weather :)
milk, cereals, blueberries: 310
snack: cc 110
lunch yogurts + lg apple: 280 + 2 milano cookies
dinner: was big, but then again it was after a long walk of at least 6 miles with nothing to eat for at least 6 hours. brown rice, teriyaki salmon, whole cucumber with light dressing, large apple, orange, strawberries. yeah, lots of sugar but only healthy sugar. :)
total cal: 1460 :) ok considering the exercise i did :) i would presume I still have a calorie deficit today of around 700 calories if i'm lucky :)
I'm getting bored with eating cottage cheese and yogurts and sometimes fruit at work. I need a change soon!
I've been tired the past 3 days so I'm going out anyway for a long walk. yoga tomorrow.
my weight loss has NOT been as fast as I would have liked. This is probably due to the fact that I binged so often up until I decided to take this seriously so I am still undoing a lot of that recent binging. I am not at all below 130, today I weighed 131 which was slighty disappointing. I am in NO way giving up though. :)
sheesh. I'm thirsty. Not even bingy. Tired. But, I do need to get myself out of the house and start walking. yup. I will probably pick up a diet drink of some kind to keep myself satisfied while I walk.
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Check in on ya a bit later... : - )
6 Miles is a wonderful walk.... Did so myself today and it felt good!
Have a good Thursday!
25 minute bike, 18 minute treadmill.
I am procrastinating on exercise today. Didn't want to do it at all! and, despite my desire not to have a lot of artifical sweetner, i did anyway today. I am happy to keep calories low. that's what matters most right now.
felt bingy this morning at breakfast: cereal,milk,blueberries and about ten tablespoons of sugar free jelly: 350. glad i didn't make other worse choices! :)
snack: apple which left me a bit too hungry before lunch at 2pm
lunch: 4 ounce pineapple cottage cheese, 4 ounce light activia strawberry yogurt, all mixed with 6 ounces plain yogurt. 260
snack: iced coffee, 1 quart powerade zero, diet peach snapple (anything to fill my stomach up completely)...diet pink lemonade snapple...
dinner: amy's lasagna meal, plain yogurt, cucumber. 420
total: a hot 1240. good, although i drank LOTS of garbage. fine with that. there's just so much i can give.
actually, 1300 - added fruits/veggies to meal!
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 15 lbs to go!
My thoughts prayers are with you to have CONTROL....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I need to take out my aggrivation so i'll do it here. Just came back from an attempt to go for a walk with my family. My mom is ordering me around like a dog and shaking her finger at me. So, I decided to walk home. Apparently she really does favor my sister and would only walk next to her, never me. However, I work in a school in the town i live in and i refuse to walk around with a mother that treats me as if i were not even human. now i have to sit around in my house because i have the only key we took with us and i have to wait for my family to return (mom, dad, sister).
i actually don't mind sitting at home because i am a bit tired and will perhaps go out later if i really want to exercise.
Breakfast: strawberries, puffed corn cereal mixed with fiber one, milk: 250.
lunch: yogurts/cottage cheese, and this healthy lemonade flavored drink mix: 280
snack: felt a little bingy but wanted to eat healthy and not undo any of my hard work in the past two weeks. one large apple, two large cucumbers with a little dressing: 230.
dinner sorta odd from an ethnic greek restaurant but I didn't really choose the most ethnic foods! yankee bean soup, salad, 2 bites of other people's fish, 1/2 cup approx. of tasty cauliflower 450 at most?
late snack: yogurt 70
total: I'll say 1200. at least that worked. massive headache and really tired today, all day.

total so far: 530. that's good! but i'm not excited for dinner later.
snack?
dinner?
12:00pm edit: I was exhausted during yoga and did horrible this morning. Perhaps I didn't get enough sleep. Whatever it was, I will have to keep going so I can improve - and not go less. I was going every other day but I did go yesterday and today. This could be why it was difficult. Whatever the reason, it means I need to do it more.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I woke up a little exhausted but I don't want to waste this morning at not go to yoga. I will probably be with family all day and to tell you the truth, I've been with family a lot everyday since Wednesday and I'm really not looking foward to it. A walk on the beach should be good, but then my mom is cooking dinner. She cooks on the healthy side, but I enjoy preparing my own meals and lately I've been eating a lot of foods which I haven't prepared (except for yesterday) and its frustrating. I have some issues with preparing my own foods and not eating things cooked/prepared by others unless there is a NUTRITION FACTS LABEL on it! :) That's me. I'm a bit obsessive compulsive. I've counted calories since I was around 20 years old and now I'm almost 26 and believe me, I'm not stopping any time soon - especially now.
When my mom cooks, I don't usually prepare anything special for myself and I try to make do with watch she is serving. Sometimes, also because the food is different from what I make, I eat more. So, I'll really have to watch calories today in order to enjoy dinner tonight.
exercise: must go to yoga. perhaps a walk on the beach.
oh gosh, I have SO much laundry to do. I would have done it sooner but my uncle was staying over and I didn't want to have that on my mind to do too. Also, haha, my mom gets pissed if she finds my wet clothes in the washing machine and sometimes i like to go out after i put the clothes in and put them in the dryer when i get back. I decided to save that for today. lol. I am rambling.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 15 lbs to go!
RE: Pancakes ~ I had a tiny bit of Lite Syrup & P.B....Too tired to mess with fixing cut-up fruit @ 9 p.m....
Your walking & yoga sound just like what you need to achieve your goal alongside your better eating habits.... Keep up the wonderful work... YOu are goin to be so happy with yourself when you reach that goal!

you know, just remember that feelings come and feelings go! i had a whole week of anxiety and discontent and i am back track for the moment. it is always an ebb and flow in life- the mastery is trying to stick with it whether good or bad! i hope that you have a great night and you are really so powerful. xoxo

Looks like you are doing real good!!! YAYYYY!!!
Good on the walking, too! Big smile!

Trying to "be good" through the PMS (pre) PMS (process of) AND PMS (post) ~ We sometimes just don't feel we have a chance at being unmoody do we?... Just know that each time we pass through the B.M. (bad mood) and tighten up our sinches on the reality of what food is intended for (life sustainment), each time after that will be a little bit easier to go through.... It is called a "track record" or "reputation"....Make a good reputation WITH yourself and feel good about it!
WI3 on 06/02/2008:
Congrats on all the great walks and the healthy food choices! When I get healed up, I am going to check on yoga. thanks!

I never liked the idea of alergy shots but this spring was really bad for me. The doctor says that if I take shots for 2 months - once a week - before Christmas, then I'll be in much better shape to face the tree polen (oak, ash, and half dozen other trees that grown prolific in the area) in the spring. I hope he is right. I don't like the idea of taking shots, though.
selina on 06/03/2008:
And I think alergies and weight control do not go together. I tend to eat more to ameliorate the miserable symptoms of allergies. Another reason to take care of my allergies.
have a good day!
