once again, i'll be nice to myself...and guess that the calories for today were 2250 or so. i had tortilla chips that probably amounted to 2 servings, singapore shrimp rolls (not fried), lettuce wraps for dinner. ate all of everything pretty much. so dinner was probably 1200 or so cals...(hopefully not more!!)
total today: 2250. whatev. it's the weekend, you know!? better than staying home and binging on 4000.....
only exercise: 45 min elliptical, abs, back, pushups...i wonder if all that helped me burn 2,000 calfor the whole day today....prob not. but at least i got off my ass!
gooood morning all. just doing some laundry and putting some away before heading out to the park in a bit. i'll take a long walk....then who knows. the gym. lol. today is going to be a big exercise day no matter what. then headed out to dinner and a movie with some friends. going to see The Hangover. yay.
I've been learnig that by eating meals with a bit more carbs, i can get satisfiend faster - as long as the carbs are the healthy fibrous ones. for instance breakfast:
Breakfast: 1/2 lg banana 60?, cup fiber one 120, 1/2 cup milk 40, light n fit yogurt 80. total: 300 and i was full,satisfied. lately, i've NOT been having enough fiber, i used to never have this problem, and i can feel it when going to the bathroom. lol, i know, TMI. but fiber is important, it shouldn't be a struggle to go #2. so i must increase fiber somewhat. maybe i will have to generally stop eating chips and coffee as my lunch during work! lol. fell back to sleep after breakfast today...sheesh. it was a busy week and i was TIRED!
snack: peach, light n fit watermelon yogurt. 150 or so.
lunch: healthy, avocado, egg white sandwich w. a red pepper and a plum tomato. 280 or so.
total so far: 730 :)
snack: 90 cal special k bar, sodas 10
total so far: 830 very nice. now, out 2 dinner. i have enough calories left over to have a nice dinner...i'll try not to go too overboard. but if i wanted, i could easily eat 1,000 calories for dinner and not have to worry. so there! =-)
dinner: out to dinner. maybe a salad at the california pizza kitchen. i'm excited to go out for dinner and eat something tasty.
exercise: lots....?
have a great day everyone.
Progress as of today: 1 lbs lost so far, only 19 lbs to go!
i think i'm finally below 140: 139. feels good. and it's just gonna get lower. i can't handle the weight anymore, it takes too much of my energy away...
you know what's cool, i'm 1/20th closer to my goal. 19/20ths doesn't sound like much....so, it's TOTALLY achievable. i'm sooooo not worried right now. how could i NOT accomplish this by summer's end!? i can do this. it is easy. i can do it. i will not be defeated ever again. ever!
1560 cal.good!
today i've been feeling down. perhaps i should do as rlovell does...and just think positive. just right positive things here and not always be so negative.
i did made a few mistakes today during clinical and i just feel i've been embarassing myself too much with one of the administrators...and i'm just trying to do my best...i don't want this attempt at a new career to be worse than when i worked as a teacher...so i'm frustrated with myself right now. and i'm trying to see what i can do/how i can act to make my situation better rather than worse.
breakfast: 2 yogurts, sliced peach: 240
snack: bar: 140
lunch: coffee, sandwich i made at home and brought with me: 1/4 avocado, one slice bread, 1/4 cup egg white. this is a filling and totally healthy sandwich. although the bread doesn't have the best amount of fiber (i didn't buy it..., usually we have a better bread in my house!) 280
snack : bowl of fiber one, half cup milk. and 4 light n fit yogurts, LOL...big, i know. 500
total so far: 1160. sticking to the 1500s....was on my feet most of the day....gym later this afternoon/evening...nap and resting right now...
dinner: definitely a bunch of veggies and something microwavable. 400
tomorrow i'll be meeting up with friends, looking foward to that. need my mind off of school, i'm TOTALLY burned out right now. my trip to israel in approx. 2 weeks should be good for me.
take care and thanks for all your comments even though i've been slacking...it's somtimes hard during the week....i'm gonna comment now...

As I tell my daughter, NO ONE is perfect - Some one may be better at hopscotch, but you may be better at hula hoops. Just do your best. Take back control of our lifestyle (which you are doing - exceedingly well) and everything else will fall into place. Success in one area inevitably translates into success in others......it's all just a state of mind. Feel good about yourself and goodness will follow. You're already starting to feel it - Embrace it!!!
breakfast: 250 fruit, 2 light yogurts (starting to get sick of them, finally!)

good day today. my last binge was june 6th. that was 10 days ago. by binge, i mean totally excessive calories beyond 2200-2300. and i've been doing good. i'm proud of myself and i want to beat this bulge!
i feel strong and in control right now. I NEED to do this for myself. I really do. it's not even a choice. The motivation is here, the desire and urge to be successful and reach my goals. If I can reach 120 by mid August I'll be satisfied. Or by summer's end. TWENTY pounds is my goal. 20. 20. 20.
20. It's June 16. In two months, it will be August 16. 2 months = 8 weeks. 8 weeks = 16 pounds. I can weigh 125. I can weigh 120 by August's end. :( It seems so long from now...why does it feel unattainable...I can do this.
Too much thinking, I can feel it already. I'm not overwhelmed but this is an important goal. I will NOT succumb to binging and weight this summer. I will NOT maintain my current 140 pound weight. I will NOT. I am done. SO DONE.
What I'm ready for is that other look - the one of muscle and definition. of tone. of using weights again next school year - or starting this summer. whatever! i just want exercise and weightloss. I need exercise and weightloss. i need this.
breakfast: 400...large avocado/egg sandwich and yogurt.
snack: horrible snack bar. nutrigrain. choices were really limited. 130
lunch:chips, coffee 250
large snack: huge bowl fiber one w. 1/2 cup milk, 3 light yogurts: 520
dinner: 400 or microwave meal, veggies, salad...
TOTAL: 1700 great day. bike ride, elliptical for 15 min, pushups, back, abs. 35 min of cardio and probably 15 min of the other. good stuff. very happy with this day. can't wait for my last test tomorrow to be OVER! I am gonna lose as much weight as i can without messing up before july 6th....and then the real challenge will begin....i am gonna do this by my 27th birthday. i don't have a particular weight goal but just to lose. i can do it.....i cannot fail again. i will make it happen. ..... .....
Progress as of today: -15 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!

i have 3 tests this week. and believe me, i'm NOT going to stress. they will be factored in with the rest of my grades. who cares if they are not the absolute best i can do. they will be what i can do without it messing with my exercise schedule. that is what is important for the rest of the month. sorry to dissapoint anyone. i'm certainly not dissapointing myself.
when i turn 27, on september 9th, 2009, it will be a good day. i vow to not let this weight rule my life forever. i have only THREE years left in my 20s and i VOW that they will be mine. rightfully mine to flaunt myself and have fun, to go to the bar, to wear nice fitting clothes. no more of my nonsense. i really hope to make a GREAT improvement over the summer. and it is up to me to make the changes and finally reach my goal.
by changes, i mean keeping calories in check. no, i don't mean really low or never having large portions, but just in check. even today i consider in check. 2200 is not 5000. so, that's what i mean. the other change is just keeping up with exercise. i want exercise to be a BIG part of my life. i know what i WANT to look like. i am not there at all. i want nice toned, legs, not the flab i currently have. i know this will take time, but i wonder, how long? and how much exercise and determination will it really take? i guess i have to work at it until i see the results i want. :)
breakfast: too carby i think: 2 cups fiber one, skim milk: 320
snack: 2 light n fit yogurts 160
snack: bar 170
lunch:dunkin donuts flatbread 300
snack too early and gave into temptations: 2 peppers, some lettuce, (80), and eight cookies at grandma's....900 approx here...
snack: diet coke.
dinner: bar, drink: 230...
total so far: 2080....was still hungry...had soup. total 2200 today.
exercise: was good. 3 mi in the morning, 15 min bike ride picking up the newspaper, walk with grandma (light and short), and 3 miles in the evening. anyday with at least 6 miles i consider a good one. some abs, but not much. haha.
off to a good start. i may have a tomato or something (but that's not so satisfying...) i may go up to 2200....even though i didn't want to.
Progress as of today: -15 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
saturday's entry:

snack: drink 150

exercise: moderate. 2 mile walk, 25 minute elliptical, abs, back. my knee is in major pain. may have to by something for it...
Progress as of today: -16 lbs lost so far, only 21 lbs to go!
good morning all. :) So i have 21 lbs until i reach 120. that's not really that much...as I can lose 10 lbs a month with proper exercise and not binging. i have ALL of my last three tests next week. two on monday, one on wednesday. i am NOT stressing over them. my averages are good in my classes and i would rather continue with exercising and stuff like that at this time. lol. priorities!?
i'll be going on vacation from July 6-16th. exciting stuff! the nice thing is that it will be a very busy vacation, lots to see and do, so i won't have to as much as worry one bit about succeeding in weight loss unless i decide to pig out - which i can assure you i will not. i will try VERY hard. however, if the food selection is bad, as i will be on a tour with food mostly provided, i'll have to make do. but, if i can, i will try to make good choices...
Today is the 12th. When I get back from the trip it'll be the 16th, a little over one month. I would like to be in the high 120's by then....and it is totally possible. AND, I am NOT going to start looking for a job until i return from this trip. I kinda want to lose most of my weight before getting ajob too....just so that i don't end up having too much to do and not enough to do any of my personal needs too.
so, july 16th, upper 120s (really want to be OUT of the 130s...). then, August 16th....possibly, i can make the upper teens? yeah, it's a lot to think of now....but, this could mean that i could lose all the weight i need to by September. and then just work on maintaining....and by maintiaining, staying in the teens. THIS IS ALL TOO FAR FETCHED RIGHT NOW, I ADMIT. but, with the lack of tests during summer,i am really, really going to work hard on improving my physique. however, there will still be some studying to do.
if i want to succeed in this occupation, i need to step up my game, considerably, over the summer. study the positions each night at least 10 minutes....(even though we'll not be responsible for tests)
breakfast/snack: (split in half except for having the light yogurt with breakfast) whole avocado 300, pita 140, 1/2 cup eggwhites, yogurt 60. total: 560 yummy and healthy calories.
lunch: ice cream cake and coffee lol. someone's bday today. and it was well worth it. yum. 500 cal probably.
snack 1: full bar. 170
snack 2: emtoional eating to relax me. was raining, now it's nice. i should go out soon! 3 light and fit yogurs 240 , whole package of rice cakes 560 total here: 800 arg.

TOTAL CALORIES TODAY: 2180. NOT THE BEST, NOT THE WORST.

grumpy on 06/21/2009:
it's really not that bad, especially, besides the chips the quality of the foods were good. i love those rolls! yum! im sure you can find the calories for those meals online, no? i like your attitude though. much much better to maybe have a few hundred more than you planned and get out, have fun, do something!
