exercise: 60 minutes of yoga. no walking, didn't feel like it.
haha. somehow, calories are exactly what my goal was: 1790. complete with seriously terrible intakes of a massive amount of splenda, equal, and articifial sugars. blah. i'm not concerned about that at the moment! I even had a whole package of the sugar free jello...you know, the 6 little cups, each one being 10 calories. gosh!
so, today i ended up waking up quite early...around 7:30am. i decided to go to the 8:15am yoga class and have a carb/protein drink they sell during the class instead of breakfast. that went well. i definitely had a lot to eat when i got home. Most was fairly healthy. total calories consumed until noon are 1390. I'm making a goal of 1790 total for the day.
another update later!
calories = 1655. i was shooting for 1700 or so. that means i did well! with a large breakfast of 700 calories, i'm happy about my intake today. Tomorrow is yoga and i really need to get some work done, too!
today has been a nice day! i went for a walk on the boardwalk for about an hour and 20 min! so, exercise = 80 min.
edit: saturday morning. i promise this day will NOT be a total loss. breakfast was 700 calories, all healthy foods. just big. however, i plan on a 1700 day. i can do it! easy!
_____________________________________
today's gonna be good calorie-wise!...another update later!
exercise: 25 min.
calories: 1200! yay. I was assuming I would have around 1700 today. However, most of the day was very low in terms of stress level; and that helped keep calories low. I only worked a half day...and that gave me time to get very important things done! I went to the music store to pick up pieces for my students, registered for my LAST grad class for my degree, practiced some horn, chilled out!, took a short 10 min nap, went food shopping since i didn't want to exercise before rehearsal, and had ample time to eat! all went well!
this weekend should honestly be just as smooth. I just need to learn to breathe, take it easy! Life wasn't meant to give people ulcers!
i meant for a 1200-1300 day and went slightly over. oh well, can't change it! its far better than my 3000 calorie days two weeks ago, though!
exercise: nada.
calories: 1490.
1220 cal.
30 only- min exercise!
have a goodnight, better updates in a few days to come!
of everyone currently using DD, i think my journal has the most "up and downs" lately. whether it's my mood or calories or whatnot, every day is the complete opposite of the next!
so, no exercise...i decided on that early on this morning.
calories today: 1200.
thanks for all of your feedback, it really does help!
tomorrow is my first day back to work after vacation..i'm lucky some people went back today! i just had a college class, but gladly not work on top of that!
have a good day everyone!
Even so, I hope you start moving into more ups than downs.
i feel incredibly sick right now. nauseous as anything. i ate a ton of candy/powerbars early on in the day. then, had a filling lunch. total calories = 2030. i'm shacky because i had an energy drink and i'm not about to have a lot of food. I'm having kim chi which is made from cabbage and other veggies and spices on top of low cal noodles. my mom and sister are complaining to my dad that the house smells because of the noodles/kim chi and i'm feeling ill and shakey. i don't think i will manage yoga in the morning if i continue to feel this sick. and, its time for a serious diet makeover as i have gained a little weight and i'm starting to get frustrated and upset! BTC, lets do it! oh, its not like i don't plan on eating on the lean cuisines i bought...i'm just planning on being healthier...until i feel better about myself. lol, i said this yesterday, too. blah!
no exercise today. 120 minutes for sunday.
edit: its 2pm and i've already eaten 1940 calories...I still have dinner to go!....today, monday, is far under par. calories are up the wazoo! I'm going to need 13 1200 calorie days in all now...so far, i've only done three 1200 cal days. tomorrow will be another.
update for Sunday: 1200 calories (might have been 1210, but we'll say 1200!) 120 minutes of exercise! 60 min walk and 60 minutes yoga!
If nothing else, do this (eating balanced) so that your stomach/system gets a break. You can do it!!
i meant to get some walking in...maybe i will and there will be an update. right now: yoga: 60 min
I resolve to clean up my act and treat my body better. As I stood doing yoga today, staring at my body in the mirror, it upset me to see a larger than normal body looking back at me. not larger by much, no more than five pounds (if that). However, the difference is noticable, jeans are getting tighter. and, why!? I know a whole lot about food, nutrition, calories. definitely more than the average American. so, what am i to do? I'm almost 25...in September. so, why ruin in for myself, when i could look so great and have the time of my life in my mid-twenties!? why!?
I resolve that now is the time...and want to look awesome. I'll have to work harder...and whenever i do make progress, i resolve to admit i deserve it, and not do what i usually do, which is binge and take a few steps in the backwards direction. this week has been difficult, on vacation and with my holiday at the beginning. but, any time is better than never to fix my body and look great!
and, for those wondering, calories totalled approximately 2800 today.
well, vacation and counting calories don't go hand in hand!
breakfast = 1766 calories alone! ahhh!
today will be a high calorie day. i'll be adding another 1200 calorie day to my 1200 calorie days which will now need to add up to 12 days of 1200 in order to reach just below 1800 calories per day as an average.
arg.
not bad...i just have to continue on with 1200 calorie days. I have 10 more of them to go! and, they will not be all in a row, that is way to difficult for me!
exercise: yoga, 60 minutes
today was a great day overall. i bought a pair of new running sneakers. i don't love the style, i like it. what i do love is how they feel, that's what's most important! they're mizuno sneakers, a good brand of running shoe. i also bought a nice pair of spandex shorts for yoga. they're actually VERY stylish...and a bit colorful too!
yoga was awesome, as usual!
food remained at 1200! yay! i definitely have more 1200 days to go! I was supposed to eat 1200 tomorrow, but i think i may rethink that! Perhaps it would be best for me to only do 1200 every other day. however, it's going to take forever to undo all my calories from last week. i've noticed my legs and stomach are a bit bigger...after all, it's two whole pounds i've added (the amount in extra calories i've consumed...not just food bulk in my body!) over less than a week!
Good Evening, Evening Update!
exercise: total of 105 minutes
aerobic: 45min, yoga: 60 minutes...(yoga is really 90 min- but you know what, I'm going to count yoga as 60 for now on because there is "resting" involved in the class that really shouldn't count as exercise.)
so, yoga was more than fantastic! LOL, I love it! I also did some aerobic exercise in the form of some jogging and some elliptical. My ankle hurt a little, but i did it despite that. i figured I had waited 48 hours and enough was enough. The elliptical was better than the running for my ankle, but still not a great feeling on it.
today's food and caloric intake sucked this morning but got better as the day went on...total calories: 2010. i wonder if i really burned that much! maybe! probably not! it would be awesome if that were the case!
goodnight all!
__________________________________________________________
arg! so i meant to have 11 days of 1200 cal in a row. well, today i consumed 1320 calories for breakfast! 4 powerbars and a few yogurts and tofu with sugar free jelly and caramel.
so, tomorrow i'll go back to the 1200 calorie days.
today i have a rehearsal in the morning, a doctor appointment in the afternoon...and then i'll go to yoga in the evening!
have a good day!
Hope your ankle feels better soon! Happy Easter!!

Hi HoP. Hope your day and calories went as planned. I love doing my exercise in the morning but it is only practical at weekends, because of work. Have a great day :)
maria777 on 04/15/2007:
Looks like a good goal!
GG on 04/15/2007:
CONGRATS on getting to YOGA!! Gotta love those random "IM NOT TIRED ANYMORE" moments in the mornings of weekends so you can do something productive like going to the gym!! Nothing is worse than knowing you have to go to the gym when you are exhausted! MAN, what do you eat in the morning to accumulate 1390 calories??? Good luck on your goal! Do you still eat Kelp Noodles or are you all about Shiraki? I am still obsessed with the kelp ones because I love the crunch and to eat them with tomato paste or roasted vegetables (read my diary entry to understand what I am talking about) haha. Have a good DAY!!

Way to go on the yoga and the protien drink!!
Donkey on 04/15/2007:
Ahh, yoga on an early Sunday morning! That sounds wonderful!! Sounds like it was a good day overall.
