Wednesday edit: I WILL NOT BINGE TODAY! :) there is NO REASON to binge!
________________
Tuesday:
hi all.
exercise: one hour (walk/jog)
calories: 1880
i was a little bingy today. but, overall calories were not out of this world, which is good. Problem is, pretty soon after I finish breakfast I should really get outside and exercise. If i don't, it is hard to motivate myself and i think it's best for me to move around starting early in the day. I will try to get some exercise in every morning and afternoon/evening.
Alli pill is fine. Aside from the slight side effects I had this morning, all is good. when i binged it was not after taking the pill, so obvisouly I experienced no side effects. otherwise, i probably would have.
had a rehearsal tonight that went well. i actually want to practice more now...it's 10:22pm. I'll do it quietly by placing a mute in the bell of my instrument.
have a great evening/morning tomorrow!
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 2.4 lbs to go!
Tuesday edit: after breakfast, i did actually have some "leakage" due to the alli pill...nothing major. but, it is true, there are some side effects. i think that may be it...and i doubt that i'll be "leaky" all day.
---------------------------------------------
hey everyone!
total June minutes so far: 940!!!!
exercise today: 90 minutes!!!! (60 elliptical, 30 weights)
calories: 1500 on the dot!
today my demo lesson for the job i had interviewed for went nicely. if i get this job, i will probably take it. i say that because i believe it is not everyday of the week! its a little more than part time and it has benifits. of course, the optimal job would be full time!
i refuse to be interviewing all summer. i need time to relax! i'm glad i just wrote that. i cannot let myself become overwhelmed with interviews while performing in an orchestra and studying/performing for my class. enough is enough. i also have to write a term paper at the end of the summer for a different class.
tomorrow i plan on getting walking done in the morning and afternoon. i'll have a rehearsal at night. i better start practicing horn and studying more. today, i was so tired after the interview. the reason was simply not enough sleep! lately, i've been going to bed late and still waking up at 6am...even though i haven't needed to get up that early for two weeks!
oh, the weight i lost so far was not really due to the pill i started taking. last week i guess i really ramped up my exercise....as well as lowered my caloric intake! so, this weeks weight loss is all due to cutting calories and exercise. hopefully the next few weeks will be a downhill loss as well!
lately, things are looking good for me. what a delightful change! :)
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 2.4 lbs to go!
Calories: 1690.
Exercise: 80 minutes cardio outside. (but, i have to say, most of the remainder of the day was spent sitting around.)
edit #2: i'm not really that hungry this evening. so, calories end right now at 1690 calories. my plan for tomorrow is to keep them a little lower...around 1500. i want to loose around 4-5 lbs this month. of course, that may be a bit high, but with the extra assistance of Alli, maybe i can do it. i won't be highly dissappointed if it doesn't work out. it would be nice. this is kind of a short term goal because i have to "perform" conducting for a whole week and it's in a month. also, i'll be performing all summer in an orchestra, as well. ok. goodnight!
____________________________________________
edit: i had a splurge of two servings of multigrain tostitos. ehh. could be soooo much worse! they were 300 calories all together. then, instead of continuing reckless eating, i ended with a tomato. ahhh! nice. calories may be higher be the end of today. thankfully, its already 7pm!
------------------------------------------------------
hi!
i woke up and had a wonderful breakfast: a peach, blueberry oatmeal, and a yogurt with some cinnamon and chocolate stevia in it. wow. it all tasted great.
i went on an hour walk to go pick up the newspapers.
I then went to get my hair Japanese straightened (permanently straightened!) now, it'll be a breeze to care and manage it all summer...into the New Year actually. it tends to last me a 1/2 year until much has grown out. but, i probably will not get it straightened again until this time next year. i have far less trouble with my hair during the dry, less humid winter months.
then, i did something i said wouldn't do. I bought that Alli fat blocker pill. oh well. i will try it; and make sure nobody i live with catches me doing this...or they will get VERY ANGRY with me! i don't plan on using it forever, i just want it to boost my progress through this month, especially, until the last week in July. I'll run out of pills by then...and then i'll make some kind of judgement call on it. i'll stop after the bottle runs out.
the pill says to watch your fat intake. if you eat too much fat at one meal, you could end of with diarhea or worse. so, i did watch that...tried to have the amount they recommend. i will skip it tomorrow until after the interview/demo lesson i have. i don't want to have any problems when i'm being observed!
so far, so well.
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
But if you are ok with your moods, I'd like to know how you like Alli and if you see any results. I did not think it was a fat burner but a lesser dosage of a prescription strength appetite suppressant.
So, HoP, this may give you incentive to stop bingeing, if nothing else. Best of luck to you with this. And I apologize wholeheartedly for my confusion.
edit: exercise: nothing. i didn't use my time wisely. i think i've learned a lesson! maybe i'll make a better choice next time.
total calories have met my goal and are better than expected: 1730. yay.
_______________________________________________
hi... instead of pigging out this morning/afternoon...i should have just went to the park for a walk. i'm not exercising today. i already wasted too much time. so far, today was a little rocky in terms of controlling food choices.
breakfast was pretty good, a little larger than necessary. Then, i had a snack of some tofu and tomato/peppers.
i had a bit more than i should have for lunch. lunch was 1000 calories: 3 veggie burgers, 3 rolls, cup of cottage cheese, salad, goldfish crackers, some kelp noodles. but, it was good.
still no exercise...now its really time to do some work... total calories so far: 1560. its noon right now!
i plan to have under 2000 calories today. that is my main and only calorie goal today.
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
so, i did some reading on Alli, the new over-the-counter weight loss pill. I was almost going to get it. but, it really doesn't make sense for me too. i'm obvisouly not overweight. then, it spoke of portion control...well, i like large portions (especially of things like vegetables..) so, well see. oh, i'm not interested in any of the side effects either, or the increased rate of colon cancer. so, it'll remain a thought in my mind right now.
my exercise minutes for today are soooo awesome....
total exercise minutes: 120! (30 weights, 45 walking, 45 elliptical)
total calories are awesome too!
calories: 1280 (although i'm nervous that i've forgotten to add something in...)
i've been keeping busy. good busy? i guess.
i'll have more to update this weekend.
goodnight.
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
hey! total minutes: 650
exercise: 45 minutes yay!
calories: 1350, guessing, hopefully no more! :)
writing more to you all tomorrow!
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
Hope you have a wonderful day! Big Smile!
total workout minutes: 605 minutes
hi all!
workout minutes: 100 minutes! (30 weights, 70 cardio - but not "tough" cardio - walking,elliptical).
since i will be sitting most of the day for the next month studying and stuff like that...i feel it is ultra important to get planned cardio exercise in.
1500 calories. i am feeling better already! :)
thank you all for the motivation and words of wisdom. Hollybelle, what you said in yesterday's journal entry really helped me think about my situation in a better light.
we all go through difficult times, and i know my view of "difficult" in my life is very different from many of your experiences that were difficult.
ok, i must go make the most of this night...interview tomorrow.
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
edit: thank you for all of your concerns.
Monday was my last day of work, unexpectedly. that's because the teacher decided to come in Monday...instead of Tuesday. so, i didn't even have advanced notice...my plan was to clean up the room a bit for his arrival. eh, it wasn't too messy to begin with.
i'm very nervous about the summer class, which involves conducting in front of peers and other music teachers/faculty....i presume these are the reasons for my binging.
its around 3, i've eaten1920 calories. i'm actually pretty full and i'm trying to decide if i should call it quits with eating for the rest of the night, rather than eat another day over 2000. i'm not sure.
....binging already....its 11:16am: calories = 1350 so far.
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
arg!
I was eating alright...until tonight. i binged after dinner on bread with pb and 3 chocolate covered biscotti.
exercise: 75 minutes (25 min weights, 50 minutes cardio walking)
calories: 2385. blah, not good.
ok, talk to you all tomorrow!
Progress as of today: -1.6 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
total exercise minutes so far in June: 430
total exercise: 45 min.
total calories = 1795. lol. could be worse! Breakfast was big, 750 calories, got me off track to start with!
I need to realize that stress shouldn't mean eat!
i need to decide and figure out how many days i have left of work...and if i'm allowed to work a full 90 days so i can be paid as a teacher. if that isn't the case...i don't even want to finish out this week: i have enough things to do (which doesn't include sitting in school pretending to work...i'd rather go to yoga!)...especially if i'm only being paid as a sub, anyway. oh, and especially if i have to be in the same room all day with the other band teacher! then, i can't even study for my last grad class or practice horn...because there'll be someone else there with me! so, unless i can stay a full 90 days, it is not worth it to me. i'd be wasting my own time. i love it there...but i can't just take up my own time from more important matters.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 5.4 lbs to go!

Good job on exercise HOP! I'll have to read further back to see exactly what an "alli" pill is. I need to catch up with everyone....I've fallen a little off track with my diary entries, to say the least!!!!
Have a great day :0)

OK, you know that I support you 100%. But why would you spend money on weight loss pills and then binge? Save your money, at least!
1880 calories is not bad at all. Especially with the hour of cardio you got in. Do you find a correlation with bingeing and exercise? The more you workout, the more likely you are to eat more? Just curious if this happens to you.
I think you did pretty well today, myself. I will be cheering you on for today (Wed.).

You are doing great!!
