GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!!
The day is early...Do you have anything you can do that would keep you busy if it's too hot to get outside? I enjoy painting and drawing and time literally flies as I lose myself in that..and food/eating is the last thing on my mind...Hmmm, thinking I need to pick up a pencil or brush..heh
Wishing you the best of days~hang in there hon~
how are you all? i'm pretty good. the guy still hasn't emailed back. interesting, i'd say! i've pretty much already made plans ALL weekend. so it might have to wait till either sunday or next week to get together with him again (if he still wants to, of course!)
2 mi walk during work, walk/jog tonight.
breakfast: not too hungry, peanuts, peach: 170
snack: fiber bar
snack: peanut butter sandwich, protein shake: 440 i'm never buying those protein shakes again they're terrible!

total cal: 1460

thursday entry:
my weight is back around 123 this morning which i am thankful for. hopefully it'll stick! it's been awhile since my weight changed so dramatically each day. i've never remembered stepping on a scale to see changes in as much as 4 lbs day to day! especially bc i always weigh in in the morning.
(yesterday's calories are really 1420 because late at night i had 10 servings of sugar free strawberry jelly) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
wed entry:
although i had a new low the other day...and i thought at least 2 lbs would stick, my weight was back to 126 today! not cool!
i've definitely eating way too much sugar in the mornings. i ate a ton of nutrition bars (like around 5) at work today and didn't even eat lunch because my stomach was too upset. too much fiber! anyways, i had 900 calories up until dinner, most eaten before 10am this morning.
early dinner: vegetables, tofu, sweet and sour tuna: 340.
total cal: 1250 right now.
snack in evening: one tomao, one pepper 70
total: 1320 :)
work was good. still no return of email from the guy i went on a date with. he wrote to me monday asking if i wanted to go out again and i said yes. but he hasn't said anything since monday. ah, it's still early.
have a good evening. i am going to try to hold off having anything sweet after dinner today. i'm going crazy at work in the mornings because i'm not sure if i'm hungry or just emotional and wanting sweet things.
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
Don't worry bout the guy~It's early like you said and I bet he's busy during the week as well!!
Have a wonderful day!
wednesday: woke up really hungry! too many blueberries 120, cereal, peanuts, milk: 250.
i want to reach for some bread and peanut butter but i'm pretty satisfied so i won't.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
tuesday
90 cal tofu in evening...1765 total.

calories for dinner were kinda large and carby: 700.
overall calories today: 1675. alright, as long as i get in my bikeride when i regain my energy back!
work was good. got my walking in.
nothing much else to report except that i'm feeling so bingey lately!
exercise: 2 mi at work and bike ride.

Re: name change ~ I knew everybody would know it was me and that was fine, just needed my few weeks back comments/posts to be put to "private" status and to change the name was the easiest way to keep everything and not have to take the time to "weed" through the previous entries and have to delete them... Due to a person I am having trouble with knowing about DD and maybe figuring out which user name I was and basically "snooping" through "MY DIARY"... Sounds like real adult behaviour doesn't it? Never grow up H_O_P..... Stay young!
Have a good evening my friend!
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!
RELAX.
Have a good time. Then come home and tell us all about it.
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....

Hi HOP! I'd love to have your dinner! My favorite! Have a good shower today!
WI3 on 07/20/2008:
You have a very hectic weekend and I've noticed that you eat more when you are feeling the impending extra pressure/stress/social interaction. But once you are in it and you realize it isn't as bad as you thought it was going to be...you seem to relax and then eat your goal calories. It is almost like you think other people are going to expect too much from you, or that you won't meet their standards or something. I'm not trying to be a pop psychiatrist....it is just something I noticed over time. Food is your pre and during comfort and your post-social reward. I still think you are doing very well and that you will get where you want to be, and that you take a different route but you are never starving yourself which is good. And you aren't purging after your binges, which is very good. Hang tough HOP!
