Weight: 140.0

930 cal throughout school...

snack: fiber one bar yum!, drink 165

large, good dinner: spinach w. lite dressing 30, microwave meal w. kelp 370, BANANA (was big and worth it!!!) 150. total: 550 or so. (probably more).

total today: 1645. NICE!!!! i'm VERY happy with this number!

exercise: abs, pushups, 60 minutes on elliptical at the gym.

i am VERY satisfied with my day today. i ALMOST stayed home bc of rain and didn't exercise bc of just not wanting to go/laziness. however, i'm sticking to this plan of exercise EVERY day. and it's working. meaning, i feel better about my fitness. i wake up too early already so i'd never exercise in the morning right now. so i just have to remember that it's a priority right after school - i go out either straight from school to walk at the park in my scrubs or change at home for the gym and soon biking! :)

Very well done. You have every reason to be proud of yourself! You are making important lifestyle changes and it is serving you very well. Keep up the excellent work!

Umpqua on 04/01/2009:
You are doing great, and I am envious of your exercise. I hope to have some time and energy to do real exercise again soon. And great job with your food and calories. We all have our ups and downs with eating (for me it is so hard to stop unhealthy habits once I fall off the wagon) but you recognize your problem areas and move forward toward a healthy lifestyle. Good for you and keep it up!

Soooo...you're actually drowning your sorrows in food....I've done it many times in the past. Thing is, it has the OPPOSITE effect of helping you feel better, HOP. Yeah, while you're eating it, and maybe for a while after, you're ANESTHETIZED...but then you have to DEAL WITH IT... deal with whatever you're upset about that you didn't deal with constructively...AND then you have to ADDITIONALLY DEAL with the weight gain, too...and not feeling too goog about giving in AGAIN.

Donkey on 03/27/2009:
Why are you not ready to get help for this? What is holding you back? (((hugs)))

WI_HashiHypo on 03/28/2009:
Hey HOP. Hope you are having a good day today. I found out I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto's disease. My energy levels being very poor and stress very high helped contribute to my overeating. And then not eating right helped hurt me further. I am hopefully on the road back and I know it will be long but I know that I have the answers I needed, but was afraid to get, in order to get back on track. I must say it is far better than not knowing. I hope you get your answers soon. I think you will be amazed at how much strength you will have when you have the answers so you can make a plan. Hang in there!

Wonderful job with your calories, and your menu is so healthy! I hope you have a great weekend :)

nimony on 03/26/2009:
I echo Umpqua's comments about the healthy menu, excep maybe the choc. covered raisins! :) Berries are so good for you and have so few calories. I LOVE the strawberries this time of year because it's a sure sign of spring.

nenak on 03/27/2009:
you have low cals with the yummy snacks well done

starfish on 03/27/2009:
I'm wondering if it would help if you would plan to put more protein in your diet? I am assuming you are vegeterian? but can you do more dairy and beans and things like that?

260 breakfast

370 snacks

750 lunch: subway sandwich and chips. i needed this to keep me sane!

snack: horrible choice: sugar free energy drink. made me sick during my walk to the point of being really shakey because i didn't have food first. will NOT do this again! 25

dinner: lots veggies/dressing 175 and microwavable eggplant rollettes 350 total: 525 good!

total: around 1930. good.

Ewwwwwwwy ~ I cannot drink those S.F. energy drinks either... Jittery,naseuated,listless,etc...

Looks like all is going well today with the # counts....Great Job!

Re: Fiber One bars ~ The berry/nut are really good, but my fav is the mocha... I'm not a mocha drinker, but those are GOOD!

Have a good evening.... I've got to get back to routine in EVERYTHING that deals with my goal reaching... Almost done with the "spring clean" and then I think I'll be better settled to "getter done" once and for all time....

nimony on 03/25/2009:
Great job on counting all the calories, even the Subway sandwich and chips. Nothing wrong with that for a choice once in awhile, esp. when you compensate with lower calorie foods during the day, which you did. And you got 3 miles of walking in. Great job!

nenak on 03/26/2009:
good day after a not so good night. keep up the good work!

legcramps on 03/26/2009:
Yeah, I can't handle energy drinks either. To be honest, I probably shouldn't even be drinking coffee - I get seriously jittery on caffiene! Have a good one today.

wed 2:34am edit: can't sleep! ahhhh. guy troubles, again. haha. i need to totally distance myself from this guy. reason being, he cannot open up. at all. he can't even say: "we're just friends." i would totally prefer that over him not really saying anything. ugh! so frustrating.

i am enjoying going straight from school in my scrubs to walk at the park. i don't have to stop at home and that makes it 100% easier not to give up on exercise even for a day. it works like a charm. i stop somewhere for a snack, eat it on the way to the park, and go walking. so far so good. i don't even miss the gym right now. i still belong to one but i always prefer the outdoors. soon i'll start biking. although, when allergy season starts, i may have to revamp my plans...

love to you all.

Hi HoP! I love your new walking plan, keep it up! My allergies already started but I am not going to allow it to stop me from my walks!!! Come to think of it, those horrible allergy shots in the fall that made me incredibly itchy for several days seem not to have worked at all! Have a good day!

I can't wait until spring to go for walks too! Too bad I always have to drive to work though because I have to be home at lunchtime to let my dogs out. But still, it should be easy enough to drop my car off at home and set out for a walk! It's snowing today though, so it's gonna be a while for me!

Have a great day!

exercise: 3 mi at the park was nice!

Donkey on 03/23/2009:
((hugs)) I can so relate. I'm eating a lot more too, to avoid bingeing. It dawned on me today just how much I'm eating, yet I seem to be hungry most of the time. When I feel "munchie" I reach for carrots. So it's not like I'm reaching for chocolate bars. But sheesh, that's a lot of food. It bothers me. I don't know if it bothers you, but maybe we shouldn't think about it too much.

I think exercise goals are the way to go anyway. I think you're doing great. I know the stress is a lot to carry around with you. Please know that I really look forward to your diary entries. :-)

3.5 mile walk. was nice.

adding more healthy fats/oils to my diet has definitely improved my skin. if any of you have acne problems, try it. olive oil on your salads, almonds. it will help. and i've been drinking more water as well. those two things really do help.

breakfast: bran/milk: 110

snack: pretzels (yeah, weird) was before my walk and it did give me energy. 220

snack: protein bar 230 (i've been starting to eat too much processed foods again)

large snacks over a period of time: almonds 160, grilled veggies w. olive oil (an entire quart size of them):

hahaha, had 6 large cookies and ice cream with grandma. but the day doesn't end terribly bad. i'll have about 2250-2300. tomorrow will be a little lower if these go as planned and i also intend on some healthy exercise tomorrow and the rest of the week for that matter! :)

dinner:egg white/spinach omelette. cucumber w. dressing? around 200 or so.

starfish on 03/22/2009:
looks like you are having a great day :-) I totally agree with you about the healthy oils and water.

Umpqua on 03/22/2009:
I know it is so hard to avoid those processed foods. Looks like you're doing a great job. And healthy fats with plenty of natural oils really is the way to go. Took me a long time to figure that out, but in my opinion if you go for smaller portions of the good fats it will fill you up and keep you much more satisfied than a lot of the "diet" foods that aren't at all substantial.
