good day today although less exercise.
exercise: 2 mi during work. then it poured and dinner ended up being later than expected with my uncle. i will not even go into how my MOTHER is to blame for the late dinner that was intentionally planned between my uncle and myself. somehow she got into the mix...and i will say no more. please don't even comment about this, but it felt good to write it down!
calories before dinner: 1150 :)
calories including dinner: not more than 2,000!! :) good. healthy.
had another seaweed salad and then chicken with mixed vegetables (a lot!!!) and a little soup. i have enough food for lunch tomorrow which is great!
other than that, bad rain storms again. terrible driving conditions but everyone is home and safe.
goodnight all...and thanks for your cool comments on yesterday's entry!
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
eating today was pretty good.
breakfast: cereal and fruit
snack: large organic protein bar
snack: coffee
lunch: salad, finally :) with grilled chicken and tons of salsa
snack: atkins tasty protein bar
snack: pink lemonade fiber drink
DINNER: out to eat with my uncle. AWESOME food. I orderred Hijaki or something...it's a lightly cooked seaweed with sesame seeds. then, i got a regular seaweed salad...and then a seared tuna salad with some kind of chopped salmon salad in the middle. awesome! lots of food, but pretty healthy and tasty. iced coffee as we walked home. there and back was around 4 miles :)
exercise: around 5 mi
total calories: not more than 2,000 :)
tomorrow i'm going out to eat AGAIN. looking foward to it bc i have control over where we go and what i order ;)
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
eating was so-so.not bad not great but satisfactory enough to call it a good day.
calories: around 1970.
i walked 2mi throughout work and now I'm going out for a walk this evening. how could i not?
tomorrow i'm taking a 1/2 day so i can do errands that MUST be done before i enter my program. That includes handing in my health forms, registering for a hospital badge, parking permit, buying the uniform (just shirts), asking about what types of white pants are acceptable (we only wear white pants for 2 years straight and the pants cannot be scrubs!!!), and i think that's it! I must dress nice because I'll be seeing all the program administrators tommorow.
I hope everything goes smoothly so that I can breath easy and go back to work without worries in the afternoon! Things actually didn't go smoothly Monday when I meant to take the whole day off to do these things. They wouldn't accept the tuberculosis test i had done last september which was frustrating bc the form specifically said "done in the last 12 months." I don't know about them, but the last 12 months definitely includes September. I was very upset and decided to go back to work and not take the day because all the other errands that needed to be done were only allowed to be done if my health forms were handed in properly! I was very angry to say the least!
but, today is a new day and was a good day. now, out for a walk so i can come back, read, comment on your entries, and get to bed EARLY!
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
evening edit: GREAT exercise. 20 min on bike and then an hour walk! very, very good!
1770 calories. not too bad! :) and healthy, lots of fiber.
________________________________________________
i will add to this entry but for now calories before dinner are 1450. a bit high but not too much. I will probably end around 1750 calories. we'll see.
exercise: none during day. Major hail and ice storm which was scary to drive through! will try to do a walk and bike ride this evening! :)
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
I think you are on track for your calories. Even going as high as 1900 would be just fine, as long as your choices are healthy.
Photography: I have another one for you guys!
I'm a very funny girl.
2550 calories today. big cookie binge (around 1600) at grandma's. she was annoying me (I love her always) bc sometimes she will not stop talking and even listen to me for a second!!! I love her very much but you all know how it can be! especially because it was raining so we couldn't go for our walk which usually takes an hour and breaks up the day!
healthy eating: 900 approx. calories
4pm binge: cookies 1650 or so.
done!
exercise: bike, yoga, weights, elliptical, walking at gym. some good exercise. it really feels good to make sure i get it in, everyday! I even enjoyed doing the weights at the gym and i will keep it up that way. I was using dumbbells and working my arms. no other weights. also did some pushups (thank you Donkey I will never stop!!!! :) and did some ab work. I have very LOOSE abs! so, hopefully one day i will say i have a six pack! that would be sooo cool. and i can say i am being proactive to get there. however long it takes! :)
to a good day tomorrow! :)

Sunday Morning:
cereal/milk/plum: 225.
snack: fruit 60
snack: coconut juice 60
lunch: tofu, beans, veggies, dressing 290
snack: iced decaf, bar 250?
dinner: large salad, microwavable meal?
I am going to yoga today, yay. I will also do yoga tomorrow, Monday, since I am taking off from work to get a lot of important errands for my radiography program finished. This includes stopping by the hospital's health office and handing in health forms, getting parking permits, ordering the uniform (shirts), etc. No big deal but it all must be done during the workday so tomorrow it is! :) So I go back to work on Tuesday this week.
So, I ended up being blessed with TOM on the first day of Hershey actually. haha, not really such a blessing but it did happen at an ok time. Unfortunately, I did pack stuff but then I realized I had no place to put it when walking around the park and that I needed smaller items. UGH. so we all had to stop at a CVS and I was kinda tortured a bit but thankfully that ended sorta quickly. I really didn't want to have to make these guys I was with aware of all of that but life happens.
The two guys that came along (3 girls, 2 guys) talked and made so many references to sex I could practically not take it any longer by the end of the trip. At first, I would join in the conversation but then it got old, by the third day! Too much sex talk! I think they need girlfriends. and i'm not saying I want to go out with either of them!
so i've been doing some online dating. not the dates lately, but going on and chatting with some guys and i might have a date this friday evening. looking foward to that. he's very sporty/athletic and plays on a number of teams. I like that in a guy. :) So, we'll see what's to come! :)

Saturday Entry:
i am back from Hershey Park, PA. I had a great time with a good friend from college and 3 other people. One I didn't know beforehand but it was a good time. We went on many roller coasters including the new Farenheit which came out around Memorial Day.
I look foward to having the chance now to read all of your diaries. :)
thurs: 2200 cal approx.
fri: 1650 cal approx.
sat: 1450 cal approx.
all in all, caloriewise i did very nicely during the trip. even fit in some goodies, but not too much.
i binged a LOT before this trip as many of you know, so i have gained around 3 lbs anyway that i need to get off.
in terms of usual dieting for August, I am thinking that my body would possibly do better on a 1600-1690 calorie range instead of eating in the 1500s. It sounds like a lot but i think that possibly I may be able to lose weight faster as long as I keep exercise up. and, just to recap, if i hadn't binged so much last week, I would have been around 5 lbs lower at this point in the summer. but why fixate on the past!?
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
1720. obviously bad by no means. I wanted a bit lower but who cares anymore as long as I am eating in a good range each day and enough to still lose weight. that's really all i canre about.
2 mi walk during day. bike ride at night! :)
hope you all had a good day too.
I'm going on a mini vacation to hershey park and the poconos tomorrow through the weekend so I'll be sure to visit back here when i return!
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
so not a good day like planned. well, the day was good. binged at dinner ONLY. dinner calories and dessert calories = 4700!!! crazy a bit. like i said to grumpy, i'll have diabetes in no time at this rate. need to stop! once again, i binged on food i didn't buy - my parents did. stupid!
so, now i've eaten enough in the past 7 days to gain four lbs. I'm going to Hershey Park and i'll probably act all religious about healthy eating while there bc this and my other binges will be on the back of my mind which isn't too smart. But I sure don't want to gain any more lbs back.
around 5800 at most hopefully calories. was pretty balanced and then chose to have a TWO tasty ice cream flying saucer for dessert, half a chocolate bar, cookies, two huge pizza slices, cereal, nuts, granola bars tasty. otherwise, cals would have been 1600.
2 mi walk during work. Will walk at least one hour tonight.
little tired. need to go to bed a little earlier.
goodnight all, thanks for your wonderful comments.
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
Good on your exercise!
around 1500. primarily healthy. good amounts of veggies. the starbuck's vivanno is great. i have a gift card but i may be a regular with it in the mornings.
walking 2 mi during work, 40 min bike ride, some weights.
goodnight!
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
dinner: a sugary but somewhat balanced Vivanno from Starbucks. I have a giftcard so i really wanted to try it. a salad with veggie burger would not have done it for me. i needed something with more carbs after having so many earlier today. and since i did walk 6.5 miles, i figured i should replenish with some carbs.
total calories today: 4150. ouch!
just to write it, extra calories consumed this week add up to 9,750 calories. this is after i subtracted 2,000 calories from my high calorie days, no less! that amount of calories = 2.8 lbs. almost 3 lbs. so, i would say after bloating, i probably weigh around 126 lbs. i'll never reach the teens let alone even 120 at this rate. i'm actually not upset since i did this to myself. i think part of being an adult is taking responsibility for one's actions. i am ready to try to change, again.
____________________________________________
couldn't follow through...binged. food is my comfort and lately i haven't been able to escape it. i guess i lost a couple of lbs and decided it was ok to go and inhale! haha.
so far: 1770 cal binge...total calories for today plus lots of dried fruit: total now: 3840.
____________________________________________
although memories that I did in fact eat approx. 6300 calories remain, today I'm starting fresh. Like, what can I do anyway!? it's done, over.
the plans today include a bike ride to get the sunday newspapers and another bike ride to yoga and a wax appt. i wish i could pretend i don't live on LI where we drive everywhere and that I live in a rural community where things are much farther but people WALK far to get even to the bus stop. I enjoy using errands as a way to get exercise in. so i will be busy enough i suppose. I'm also going to try to get a 5-6 mile walk in.
Need to do laundry tonight. I have around 2 loads, hopefully not more. haha, all you mothers are probably jealous i only have two loads.
8:30am breakfast: cereal, 3 cups almond milk: 245.
12 snack: coconut water 70
1:00 lunch: beans, tofu, tomato, peach or some other fruit. 300, 2 pieces bread 220, ben and jerry's 240, 2 ice cream sandwiches: 450 lunch total: 1110
6:30-7: dinner: salad, 2 morningstar farms (probably this brand) veggie burgers on top, piece of fruit. 350.
Progress as of today: 2.5 lbs lost so far, only 7.5 lbs to go!
Here IS TO A BETTER DAY!
As for me, I am a little unsure of the calories when I eat out. My brunch yesterday for example. I try to be good at counting, but who knows how much oil or whatever they really put on the foods. I am also trying to be thoughtful about my cholesterol, and eating eggs yesterday wasn't the best idea, or the gyro meat today, but it was one thing, which is not too bad. I really wanna get out of this limbo and start losing weight again! xo

Beth201P on 08/14/2008:
I am so glad everyone made it home safely. Those storms can get really bad. Have a great Friday.
selina on 08/15/2008:
Hi HOP! I do agree that we love the same type of foods! That seaweed salad must have been wonderful! I was rained on during my walk yesterday evening.... Iguess it's been raining everywhere...
Jen40 on 08/15/2008:
Will the rain ever stop???! Ugh, we've had so much of it things are starting to mildew on my patio, and that includes the plants!
bankingplanes on 08/15/2008:
2 mile walk sounds pretty good to me! As for rain, my part of the country hasn't been seeing too much of it, we could use some. Send it our way please!
