felt a tad swollen and bloated from last night's binge. i would like to keep calories minimal this weekend and i want to get into studying. the plan is to do yoga this morning, get my hair done, find the white pants and one blue top that i need. then, stay at home study a bit (this means go over everything at least once)...and get a fresh vegetable juice drink from a nearby store too. walk later, just a short walk.

breakfast: peach and almond milk: 125.

snack: coconut juice 60

lunch: 16 ounce vegetable juice, ounce wheatgrass, 1.5 cups kombucha, estimating at 250 cal

snack: peach, cereal, almond milk: 320

dinner: pudding and chocolate: 390

total 1175

last binge up till today's binge was on 9/3 i believe. 9 days ago. my goal is not to give into ANY binging from tonight until October 11th when i have to go to a wedding. the goal includes no binging through the jewish holidays and days leading up to the wedding. this will prove VERY difficult!

1st time pigging out since i turned 26 on 9/9/08. it's like there's no escaping the binge. we have TONS of baked items in my house this week. any kind of pastry, cake, cookie, chocolate...we have it!

so, eating was ok throughout day.

binged in the late afternoon, ending around 5:15. obviously everything i eat was dinner also.

total calories: 3800. from 4:30-5:15 binge calories are 3100 of the total 3800 for the day. ew!

no exercise as of yet. might take today off.

part of this binge was hunger (but not much bc i just finished a starbuck's frappuccino)...the rest was definitely emotional: from tiredness...and moreso anxiety as i found some of the info we went through in class today to be a little difficult. but i'll manage. not stopping now!

Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 12 lbs to go!

lafemme_loca on 09/12/2008:
Hey HoP, I really hope you can go with no binges !! :-) As for 20s, I discussed my fears of going on Wednesday and I followed up on Thursday about what it is and a little of what happened... I cried a lot... so I said, at some point I need to actually get my thoughts out for why I was so upset. However, I have been avoiding doing that because... yeah that is emotional pain, and I am not ready to delve into it...eventhough, I know I should. *sigh* So, that is what I meant about how I should talk about it. But, I did bring up that at 20s one of my friends had a mild heart attack... and it was also the birthday of a guy that I had a crush on for over a year and some who totally devestated me back in May/June (aka the fireman). So, there you go... drama... which I have been avoiding for awhile now... but at some point I need to deal with my emotions. *sigh*

thinnside40 on 09/11/2008:
OH Yes!......Fruit is better than the bars, but when I'm in a pinch for time and got a baby screaming, 2 toddler boys fighting. the neighbor wanting a ride to town & the phone ringing in between...I can be satisfied with a day of Khashi... Just hopefully not have to do it very often....

Have a good night's sleep!

loveray on 09/12/2008:
good work! i hope you are recovering from the emotional craziness going on around you lately! ps- how is that SB oatmeal? my co-workers are bringing it in, and i think it is so hilarious that they would never just consider making it at home- but it must be convenient. better be, when a cannister of oats costs $1.50 and the SB oat cup is like $4! love you.

pissy, tired mood. not enough sleep and it's definitely adding up.

1220 cal so far. still need dinner.

update later.

dinner: microwavable: 400 total 1620. not bad. fine!

BLAH! i gave into temptation and had 6 chocolate candies with yummy centers. they were kinda not so small. i'll say a moderate 350 for those...plus dinner which was about 400.(750 total)

total for today: 1970. a bit high to try to lose weight but probably fine to maintain. ok. better tomorrow!!! :) yay

thanks for being supportive of me during difficult times. you have no idea how much i appreciate it! :)

thinnside40 on 09/10/2008:
Chocolate isn't a temptation 9/10 times... It is a neccessity I say !!!!!

grumpy on 09/09/2008:

ope you got some sleep. If finding sleep difficult now - may consider ONE Tylenol P.M. or similar medicine. I use it from time to time and one does not make me drowsy in the a.m. Good calories - hang in there.

Exciting day Monday - don't wowrry if it doesn't go perfectly - First days are usually hectic, and with the funeral, company and totally being out of routine.

I'm going to yoga this morning and then probably some errands later. A walk tonight with my Uncle. Today nobody will be coming to the house bc it's a day of rest. I need to get a few last things done before going back to school for my first day on Monday. Sunday we will have people over and Monday/Tuesday (my bday) people may stop by but i will also be in school.

I did not have the opportunity to express my sympathies to you in your time of loss. I am sorry for the sadness in your family, but somewhat relieved that services (shiva) have passed and you survived. I think it's OK not to speak at the service. Silence is the first language of God. I wish more people would be silent more often... There is sacredness to silence, I think.

So just in case I forget or do not have time, I want to wish you a Happy Birthday early. And the best present of all is the one that you're giving yourself: an education to do a career that you will like (if not love). Nothing more fulfilling in life than a purpose.

Thinking of you today and always...

thinnside40 on 09/06/2008:
RE:"i see you are subsisting on bars today! Interesting...maybe a lot of sugar?"

Actually the breakfast (Khashi Cookie) was 5g sugar and the dinner was 7g of sugar (Khashi Bar).....I did better on not really being hungry yesterday than I have done in a long time... I do eat a lot of things with Splenda and trying to reduce that a bit.....Yesterday was an "off" day with how busy I was and I am so pre-occupied mentally with my g'ma & SIL health issues right now, maybe it is a good thing for me to really just kind of "not" pay attention so much what I am going to eat the next snack/meal and eat what seems to sound good (healthy of course, but maybe not a "meal" type food )... If I do think about it too much right now, then I will eat too much from stress, anger, being blue, etc.........

Have a good day & fun @ yoga!

grumpy on 09/06/2008:
Aw sorry your grandma was sad, but must be good for her to have you around. as for moving away, i dont know girl, seems like it's so important to you that maybe there's a way to pull it off. you're so smart and talented, i am sure you can think of something you could do on your spare time for extra money. how about school dorms? and also sharing a place with a couple of others. i have friends in school who can live pretty cheap. think about that. xoxo
