Tuesday morning edit: my weight was abnormally low, not to complain! lol, that's great as long as it stays down! I may be just a tad dehydrated. but this is a cool new weight to list.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Monday evening entry:
around 500 calories for dinner. possibly too many carbs. but overall ok.
total calories: 1500
exercise: 2 mi at work. walk/jog in evening. 45 min.
good day at work. my date emailed me (instead of calling) today since our first date saturday night. i think that was a good idea on his part since we did meet online anyway. he wants to know if i want to go out for ices which i think is pretty laid back and should be fun. so i think that's what we will be doing at some point. i'm not a huge fan for going out during the week but i guess i could make an exception, right?
have a good evening everyone.
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
the good of today: 6 miles walking, 90 minutes hot yoga, and 40 minute bike ride.
the bad: calories and sitting at my computer. some unproductivity (not a word!?)
to be improved: deal with issues in a grown up way - write how i feel down. call a friend. move on!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i don't know what happened. or, rather i do. i decided to stay home after lunch and somehow ended up binging.
920 good calories including breakfast, a snack, and lunch. then, one hour later, a binge:
3 huge pita bread type things, 2 klondike bars, 1 carvel flying saucer, 3 large granola bars. this all added up to around 1700 calories. all the food was not purchased by me - rather my parents.
total calories for the day after my binge at 2pm are: 2630.
I have no reason to eat anything else today.
i always ruin my progress. i have a feeling this binge also has to do with my lack of ability to remain calm about dating - although it all went well yesterday.
i even wrote last night specifically how i would NOT binge today. anyways, so far i have had a bike ride and yoga. perhaps a LONG walk later.
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
Hope your day starts looking up!
my date included a live orchestra (that i used to play in!!!) and a really brilliant display of fireworks. the fireworks were the best part and they went on for a long time - perhaps even 20 minutes. it was a wonderful date tonight! i was sooooo nervous bc it's been quite a number of months. but this guy is down to earth and fun to be around. haha. i'm just saying a had a good time and can actually see it going further. :) he asked what i was doing tomorrow night (which is sunday...) but then he realized today was sat night and so we just said we will get together soon. gave me a kiss on the cheek...good guy. i hope he thinks the same of me - he said he had a great time too.
breakfast: cereal, milk, fruit. 220
snack: coconut water 60
lunch: tofu on toast and salad: 250
snack: 3 plums 100
snack: iced coffee 60
snack: special k protein bar 170
snack: peanuts and raisins during date haha, he's a health nut and he brought them to the outdoor concert with fireworks that we went to. 250 at most.
snack at night when i got home: 1/2 cup blueberries, tofu dipped in yogurt. lol, i like it. 200
no real dinner, just snacks.
total: 1310. nice day today. :)
plans for tomorrow: yoga...walking at the cross island...clean my bathroom and vacuum my floor??? i should! i will actually write down plans for myself so that i don't end up binging or doing something destructive like that! this should be a summer to remember!
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
i'm going on a date tomorrow and i feel so flabby and gross. ugh. i went to target to try on some clothes and the 6's were to snug. not happy. i was under the impression that i am a size 6 but apparently not yet. rather than obsess over size, i am unhappy with the amount of fat and flab i have and lack of muscle. yuck! especially when looking in the mirror in the dressing room!
well, i ate alright during the day. HUGE binge feelings, as usual for this week.
dinner was large i guess for a late dinner around 8pm. maybe if i made an effort to eat bigger earlier in the day i would see better results if that's what i really want. however, i don't know how feasible that is. i love to eat a lot because i like the feeling. maybe if i do eat a big breakfast and lunch and then just concentrate on exercise after work and a satisfying salad with protein i can reach my goals. i think i will try it. I can eat a pb sandwich for breakfast maybe with a plain yogurt too...then for lunch i can have another yogurt with whatever microwavable meal or sandwich (i probably will not bring sandwiches i don't like them for lunch) and snack on bars/fruit. then dinner can be light - no starchy carbs/grains. i think i will feel much better and look much better sooner. :( i'm not excited for this way of eating, by the way.
dinner today was: smart ones quesadillas (440), salad (40), plain yogurt that i dipped with the quesadillas (80), 1/2 cup blueberries (40). i should make this my lunch and i think i'd be better off. I HATE using so many calories so early in the day but perhaps it's the only way. total dinner calories: 600 which is too much i guess for 8pm. of course, this is NOT a binge or anything. maybe i'm just being too hard on myself and i don't need to change anything to see the results which are coming slowly because of the binges which have ocurred lately. i hope that's what it is!
total calories today: 1570. at least it's in the 1500's which was my goal.
exercise: 2 mi during work, that's it. maybe a walk downstairs later. not so happy right now about my lack of progress in weightloss.
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
Have fun on your date!
lol...so much snacking today! 9 different times (including meals and snacks) that is a little overboard and i am going to plan tomorrow now so this doesn't happen again!
i am hoping part of the reason i am so bingy is TOM but i don't know. hungry all morning, all afternoon, and i decided to give in and have a nice dessert after dinner. i am only human and i know i have to give into temptation sometimes or i will just go VERY overboard later. so, i gave in...but still i exercised enough to burn off everything.
breakfast: cereal, milk.
snack: protein drink (probably won't buy again after i use them up)
snack: snack bar - a really good high fiber one!
lunch: tofu and veggies, fruit
snack: bar
snack: another different bar (i bought a ton of them from a good natural food store so i could try all the different flavors haha)
snack: diet snapple
snack: bar with hopefully the RIGHT nutrition facts because this one seems a little to good to be true (so low in calories)
dinner: lean cuisine shrimp alfredo, two cups broccoli, 2 whole cucumbers with dressing....DESSERT: yogurt, lots of cereal with tasty almond milk.
total calories: 2080. well, they are less than 2100...i definitely burned them off bc of exercise and i feel good and probably will have an easier time eating less tomorrow! all is good in my world. i am pretty full but i haven't done damage to my progress in the least.
exercise: at least 2 mi at work. then a 90 minute walk at home! :) yup, i walked in the door, changed, and went walking. it felt so good! I am really enjoying building up my mileage! I want to be able to walk 10k races all year. one day, if i could improve enough to compensate for my weak ankle, i'd love to become a runner. however, i like to walk and that is enough for me right now.
i am happy. :)
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
Have a good night's sleep....
Thursday edit: 125 is the new weight. hey, i'll take a .4 loss! why not!? that's practically a half pound. Hopefully I can manage to get into 124 by sunday or monday! :)
___________________________________________________
Wednesday:
soooo tired today. major binge feelings at work! ugh!
breakfast: protein shake in car and cup blueberries(i'm trying to eat less in the morning...)
snack: healthy bar 220
lunch: chicken and lots of veggies 260
snack 1: urge for a really good all natural clif bar 160
snack 2: another urge to eat but at a normal time clif bar 160
snack 3: late, after work, protein bar 230
dinner: pickles, 2 cucumbers, little bit of alfalfa sprouts which i don't even like so i don't think i'll buy them for a VERY long time, awesome lean cuisine shrimp flavor, and a CARVEL flying saucer since parents bought a pack of them - it actually fit well caloriewise into my day! :)
total calories 1600 :)
exercise: during day 2 miles, 1.5 mile walk after work. tired. need to read!
oh, i walk .5 mile from my car to work and then .5 mile back from work to my car. at lunch, i walk around 1 mile. so, that adds up to the two miles before going home from work!!! :) it's really great!
Progress as of today: 10 lbs lost so far, only 10 lbs to go!
Good job on the walking!
Wed morning: bloated from TOM and slightly above my posted weight. I have a feeling once this week is over I'll be lower :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hello! Happy Tuesday. My main goal today is to get in some good reading tonight. I have been reading for only about 10 minutes if that each night lately because I wait too long to start and then I am too tired to continue! So...I need to get ready for bed FASTER tonight! I also need to buy on of those large pillows for reading in bed. I think you call them boyfriend pillows? i forgot...
as far as walking: at least two miles during work hours...and a bike ride tonight! :)
breakfast: pear 120 not sure if this is a good breakfast for me. (kinda like a snack and then i eat early at work again)
snack: protein shake, bar 320
lunch: yogurts, coffee 190
snack: bar 220
dinner: lean pockets supreme pizza pockets two, large pickles i picked up fresh from the kosher deli, steamed broccoli/cauliflower, plum and then strawberries which weren't necessary but i wanted them.
total: a good 1480.
I am still getting too hungry throughout the day at work. I need to fit in my snacks better!
have a good evening everyone!
Progress as of today: 9.6 lbs lost so far, only 10.4 lbs to go!
Enjoy your evening!
Happy reading...I have 3 pillows I prop up for that.
for some reason i was extremely tired as well as extremely hungry today.
6am breakfast started off poorly bc i gave into temptation, although not as bad as it could have been: cup blueberries, cereal, milk, pb and jelly on bread
9:30am snack: coffee.
12 lunch: yogurts, coffee.
5pm snack: 2 cups strawberries, slimfast optima cookie dough (awesome!!!) 310
7pm dinner: 725 calories total big. but I eventually stopped. I wasn't planning on dessert but had it anyway realizing that I would give my body a rest. lol. one red pepper. 4 steamed cups of broccoli/cauliflower. Amy's microwavable mac and soy cheese which i like a lot. :) then, protein shake and 2 plums. :) it's alright
total: 1855. still good, will go on a short bike ride in a few minutes.
exercise: 2 miles at work and bike ride at home. i really want to read tonight and go to sleep on time! :)
i hope everyone had a nice day! :)
after work i did anything but come home. i went to two gourmet food stores that were on the same block and then went to the cheap fruit/vegetable store near them. i knew i'd have problems if i came straight home.
also, i have realized i NEED to have some snacks at work. at least a morning snack because i am waaay to hungry and then i don't have energy after work. I will probably start having TWO nutrition bars a day to help with cravings. we'll see. when i did it last week i felt a LOT better after work. the reason i didn't snack today in the morning is bc i was trying to watch calories after my big breakfast.
Progress as of today: 9.6 lbs lost so far, only 10.4 lbs to go!
RE: Hair done/lightened ~ I just got to spend time actually fixing it on the 4th... I did highlight (frost) it a while back myself (well, Ben helped me)...I fixed it in a ponytail, then split it in the middle then brought it back through from the bottom so the hair comes out the top with curled tips, instead of down & out at the neckline...Manu thought I got it cut.... I won't do any major changes with the hair until I reach my goal...I have never had long hair and been thin at the same time..I am looking forward to seeing myself in a whole new way and then will make a decision on the length.... I have greys popping out, so that is why I highlight it...
It is late, so I'll check in on ya tomorrow!
Huggle n Happy dances
Pat
Monday morning:
Breakfast: cup blueberries, cereal and milk, pb and j on wheat bread: 580. binge feeling in effect.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sunday evening:
Hey all! It's late so i'll make a fast entry and do comments on your entries tomorrow!
I went to 6 flags although the report for rain was due for today! interestingly, hardly a drop and the park was very empty! so we got to go on all the rides!
breakfast: blueberries. 100
gum during day 25
lunch: 1/2 lb burger with cheddar cheese and bacon on huge deli roll (1000) with about a cup baked beans about (270)...trying to figure out some reasonable total: 1270
dinner late around 9pm in my house: i tried to get veggies in bc i miss them when i don't have them for awhile: huge salad with spray dressing, small piece tofu, microwave green beans with almonds: about 300.
today's total: about 1700 i thought it would be lower but then i actually calculated it and it proved to be more than i thought! All in good company, good day!
Progress as of today: 9.6 lbs lost so far, only 10.4 lbs to go!
the boca lasagna meal was not very good actually. it was really expensive also - like 5 dollars! I did eat it all but I should remember what I just wrote and NEVER get it again. That's part of the reason I think I ate the cereal after. I wasn't satisfied, it was too bland.
my 3 day total avg calories per day: 2283. still too high but after tomorrow I'll be ok! Then, I just need to create an actual calorie deficit starting Monday so I can see an actual loss rather than maintenance for next week! At least I've been getting in good exercise.
exercise: yoga, good walk with grandma (she's not a slowpoke!), and walk around community.
slightly large dinner, but good, won't call it a binge: salad, whole cucumber, cup strawberries, plum, boca meal, big bowl cereal and milk for dessert. 700 calories. a bit high.
1650 total today. ok. perhaps dinner was too large but at least it was very healthy.
Today has been a good day. :) First, although i started thinking about eating too much and NOT going to yoga, i went anyway and it was totally worthwhile! Then, i went home and grabbed strawberries/short shower and went to pick out sneakers for myself and my grandma because she needed them and so do I - there was a great deal buy one and get the other 1/2 off! nice! The ones I picked were really nice but had disturbing purple laces with sparkles! What adult buys sneakers with sparkly laces i ask!? So, i said I needed white laces to replace the purple ones and she said I would have to buy them. But, then they didn't have and the cashier said I could actually take them off another pair of similiar sneakers and FREE of CHARGE! awesome! :)
Went with grandma today. I was soooo tired when i got there because I went to bed around 1am-2am and my parents were a bit loud this morning. So I got a little less sleep. We went for our walk - around 1.5 to 2 miles. I want to ride my bike later too. I just had a snack but I'm still hungry. Perhaps I should have dinner now and ride my bike later around 7:30. I don't have plans to go out tonight because I thought I was waking up early to go to 6 flags tomorrow but plans have been changed because of the rain. This means I can go to yoga tomorrow morning too! Great, since I have only gone about 2x in the past month!
I also did a few returns later on in the day at a couple stores. Got a lot done!
Have a good evening everyone. :)
Breakfast started out a little nutty but all got better from there!
Breakfast: cup blueberries, lots of cereal and milk 540 sheesh!
snack: strawberries 60
lunch: yogurts: 150
snack: lg iced coffee 100
snack: strawberries 50
dinner: tbd - but including a boca frozen lasagna meal.
Progress as of today: 9.6 lbs lost so far, only 10.4 lbs to go!

maria777 on 07/14/2008:
Are icees about the same thing as a snow cone? Cause Hubby bought me a snow cone a while back and it was soooo good! Hope you have a nice evening!
rlovell on 07/14/2008:

mmuraro on 07/14/2008:
Of course make an exception! Sounds sweet! I tried the shake and I love it, more for the nutrition facts than the taste, but doesn't taste bad at all. :)
selina on 07/15/2008:
