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!!
so today i did yoga...90 minutes. no walking.
i ate a mix of some really crappy foods/drinks and also some really healthy things. healthy things include an ounce of wheatgrass juice, lettuce, tomatoes, whole orange pepper, kelp noodles, yogurts. and some other things.
unhealthy: diet energy drinks, yogurts with artificial sugars, no cal jelly, caramel.
finally, a 1200 day! one down, 10 more to go! goodnight all!
I have been thinking of you and making a point of adding veggies to my day. I'm sure I'm still not eating enough but I figure I'll start little and hopefully I will eventually get used to eating more of them!!! I actually think of you when I eat them since your always encouraging us all to eat more veggies!!! I really wish I enjoyed them the way you do!
exercise: um, 2 hours: 30 min. walk/jog, and 90 min yoga.
hi all.
so, yeah, 3000 calories today. I've eaten enough in the past 5 days to gain roughly 2 full pounds. yeah. so, i am going to plan myself 1200 calorie days and eat lots of portioned out food along with my no calorie yam fiber noodles. i also plan on having eggs and veggies or yogurt and veggies for breakfast. today, i had an eggplant and a yogurt with no cal jelly. i'm doing anything to keep myself rather satisfied. One day next week, i'm planning on a 900-1000 calorie day. It'll be my easy day that week at work. If I plan everything and keep lots of healthy vegetables and proteins in the house, this should be a piece of cake (haha, not literally!).
Honestly, starting tomorrow, in 11 days I should be fully recovered, the two pounds gone, or, balanced out.
goodnight. It's a bit stressful just thinking about that.
i did yoga today.
3000 cal.
60 minutes of exercise.
today was a holiday meal. i had 1,000 calories throughout the day, and i'm estimating hopefully no more than 2,000 for the meal.
tomorrow is the same thing. i'm allowing 1,000 cal throughout the day and 2,000 for the dinner meal. but i'm allowing myself to eat everything, no exceptions. the past 5 days were all high in calories, especially the last 4. i have planned what I will do to rid myself of the excess calories in the next two weeks. i'll try to stick with the caloric intakes I have planned out. then, i'll allow myself some high calorie days after that.
in regards to that job situation, the end resolution is what everyone has told me, not to say anything. you are all right, it would create bigger problems for me to bring it up to her now. oh, what a bad idea! lol.
i did yoga today. it felt so good! I ran into way too many people i know, though!
have a great day!
Total calories today: 3110
Thank you everyone for your kind words, encouragment, and advice. I will take it all. The most difficult thing will be admitting to the girl I am rehearse with that I did in fact apply for her job and I will have to get it off my chest. I feel like I should have just admitted it awhile ago, like its been too long now since last summer. I feel like she will not believe it that I hadn't told her earlier. eh, it may not be a good idea to say anything about it. I'm not sure, Donkey. I know that it would definitely make me feel better. But, i doubt it would make her feel better towards me.
I actually did get some exercise in. That is a goal of mine...this is my vacation. I need to use it well. I didn't do yoga like I planned because i would not be able to contort myself into all the formations with such a bloated stomach. I'll go tomorrow anyway, despite how i feel. It's enough to just be there.
I will not be able to make up for all of the excess calories so quickly. It's an awful lot and tomorrow and the next day i'll be having family dinners with friends and family for the holidays. I don't even want to restrict myself at them...nor during the day.
I figure I'll just eat low calories once I go back to work in a week and a half. I have already eaten enough calories to gain one pound. With Monday and Tuesday, that total will probably add to another pound gain. LOL. nice job to me, jk.
have a goodnight....and thank you all again for your kind words. they do mean a lot.
I did 60 minutes of exercise today...WorkingIt, are you recording minutes this month?
sounds like you had a pretty good day otherwise.
I think this advice applies to your situation with the girl who got the job. Would anything be accomplished by saying something to her? I don't think so. It would just cause all kinds of problems.
