large, good dinner: spinach w. lite dressing 30, microwave meal w. kelp 370, BANANA (was big and worth it!!!) 150. total: 550 or so. (probably more).
total today: 1645. NICE!!!! i'm VERY happy with this number!
exercise: abs, pushups, 60 minutes on elliptical at the gym.
i am VERY satisfied with my day today. i ALMOST stayed home bc of rain and didn't exercise bc of just not wanting to go/laziness. however, i'm sticking to this plan of exercise EVERY day. and it's working. meaning, i feel better about my fitness. i wake up too early already so i'd never exercise in the morning right now. so i just have to remember that it's a priority right after school - i go out either straight from school to walk at the park in my scrubs or change at home for the gym and soon biking! :)

the stress of a test....and the stress of just no sleep and being exhausted caused me to binge. wasn't worth it. it wasn't even a good feeling last night. i hardly studdied for today and completely did NOT need the binge. it doesn't even matter that i didn't study much last night. it only matters that i binged and shouldn't have. i'll be OK.

Looks like all is going well today with the # counts....Great Job!
Re: Fiber One bars ~ The berry/nut are really good, but my fav is the mocha... I'm not a mocha drinker, but those are GOOD!
Have a good evening.... I've got to get back to routine in EVERYTHING that deals with my goal reaching... Almost done with the "spring clean" and then I think I'll be better settled to "getter done" once and for all time....
wed 2:34am edit: can't sleep! ahhhh. guy troubles, again. haha. i need to totally distance myself from this guy. reason being, he cannot open up. at all. he can't even say: "we're just friends." i would totally prefer that over him not really saying anything. ugh! so frustrating.
i am enjoying going straight from school in my scrubs to walk at the park. i don't have to stop at home and that makes it 100% easier not to give up on exercise even for a day. it works like a charm. i stop somewhere for a snack, eat it on the way to the park, and go walking. so far so good. i don't even miss the gym right now. i still belong to one but i always prefer the outdoors. soon i'll start biking. although, when allergy season starts, i may have to revamp my plans...
love to you all.

by the end of the summer, my goal is to be able to walk AT LEAST 12 MILES AT A TIME!
exercise: 3 mi at the park was nice!
Progress as of today: -15 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
I think exercise goals are the way to go anyway. I think you're doing great. I know the stress is a lot to carry around with you. Please know that I really look forward to your diary entries. :-)
3.5 mile walk. was nice.
adding more healthy fats/oils to my diet has definitely improved my skin. if any of you have acne problems, try it. olive oil on your salads, almonds. it will help. and i've been drinking more water as well. those two things really do help.
breakfast: bran/milk: 110
snack: pretzels (yeah, weird) was before my walk and it did give me energy. 220
snack: protein bar 230 (i've been starting to eat too much processed foods again)
large snacks over a period of time: almonds 160, grilled veggies w. olive oil (an entire quart size of them):
hahaha, had 6 large cookies and ice cream with grandma. but the day doesn't end terribly bad. i'll have about 2250-2300. tomorrow will be a little lower if these go as planned and i also intend on some healthy exercise tomorrow and the rest of the week for that matter! :)
dinner:egg white/spinach omelette. cucumber w. dressing? around 200 or so.
Progress as of today: -15 lbs lost so far, only 20 lbs to go!
i'll be kind to myself and guestimate that my calories are 2200. if they are over, it was ALL healthy stuff at dinner. even though it was a lot of food (buffet, tons of seaweed salads and other awesome japanese foods). had a good time with friends.
breakfast : 450 (tofu, beans, almonds, olive oil) too big a portion...could have had half.
snack: 50 drink supplement stuff
late morning snack: 320 (more beans, almonds, oil) again, too many portions....and i had some extra almonds 160.
granola bars: 180 during my 6 MILE WALK! first time this spring! :) It was soooo wonderful. along the water.
protein bar: 230
total so far: 1390.
dinner: out for dinner but I should be able to control calories to 2200 without a problem...i will choose healthy items at a sushi buffet place. lots of fish and veggie salads, etc! :) should be fun. NO DESSERT except coffee.

Plus I'm confused. You say you'd be working clinicals but you would have class and tests. Yet later on you say that you're going to be worrying about having tests. So??? Which one is it?
I notice that whenever you have some conflict, whether you allow yourself a day off to study or they change the schedule on you or what, that seems to lead to a huge binge. Do you notice this too?
I see 2 ways to handle this: Accept it for now, as a way to cope with stress, knowing that things will be different once school is over. OR decide to deal with it now and get some help, because the longer it goes on, the harder it will be to tackle later on. Especially if you keep using food as a way to cope with conflict, anger, and other unpleasant emotions.

Very well done. You have every reason to be proud of yourself! You are making important lifestyle changes and it is serving you very well. Keep up the excellent work!
Umpqua on 04/01/2009:
You are doing great, and I am envious of your exercise. I hope to have some time and energy to do real exercise again soon. And great job with your food and calories. We all have our ups and downs with eating (for me it is so hard to stop unhealthy habits once I fall off the wagon) but you recognize your problem areas and move forward toward a healthy lifestyle. Good for you and keep it up!
