hey all!
exercise: 60 mintues :) (1/2 hr weights, 1/2 hr cardio)
calories: still counting.....edit later.
so, this morning was a rather large, unnecessary breakfast, but i watched portions throughout the day. breakfast = 930 calories.
i've been taking care of business today. making a hair appointment, dropping off some things to the cleaners. catching up with phone calls, paying bills, etc.
now i just need to motivate myself to practice for my class this summer....will do soon!
oh, i plan on leaving you all some comments tonight as well!
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 5.4 lbs to go!
exercise: sad, none! i didn't have time and didn't want to do it before bed.
calories: 1555
the interview today went well. however, i am not very skilled in general music/chorus. Those are both part of the job, along with band. the interview lasted 45 minutes, which is good. but, we'll see.
I really hope something more geared towards just band comes along.
have a good weekend everyone!

the concert this morning for the parents went well...but not as well as yesterday's school concert for the students in the school. ahhh, i'm glad its over...its one less thing to have hanging over my shoulders.
I tried to go to the demo lesson in another school district and come back to school after...so that i'd get paid for a full day. but, that didn't fly - i did come back, but a secretary told me i'd get a half day. yeah, that looks pretty bad on my behalf!
so, it seems that my "90 days" will not come to be. so, for the 80-something (probably 88 or so) days that i will work, i'll be paid as a substitute teacher. if i work 90 days, i'd be paid as a teacher (and backpaid for all 90 days!). honestly, i'm pissed.
If i didn't have to take off what now adds up to two and a half full days because of interviews, i'd have the 90 days! i'm so frustrated about that. tomorrow, i have another interview about a little over an hour away at 4pm. I get out of school at 2:30. obviously, i'd be cutting it close to get to the interview straight from the end of the school day. so, i have two options:
1. tell the principal i'm taking a half day because of an interview.
2. ask if i can leave school at 2pm - instead of 2:30.
well, i'm going with option 1. whatever! I don't want to come off to the school as someone just there for the money. so, i'll have to take another half day. I'm so sick of running my life around school to interview to concert to school to interview. this means that i'm lowering my chances even more for the 90 days.
you see, i haven't been given a certain day as my last one. therefore, i don't know if they will let me stay on when the teacher returns for the last 9 days of school (or, if he didn't, he wouldn't be paid all summer). everyone's in it for the money. well, almost everyone.
i'm frustrated, pissed, angry. I don't have a job for next year. I've been running myself ragged with interviews. I have a course in the summer that I should have been studying for like crazy - and i didn't start because of all these other things. Nothing is really going smoothly.
the demo lesson went well. one girl told me, in front of the class AND the teachers/administration observing me, that i was a good teacher! I told her she was a good student!
we'll see what comes of today's lesson...if they like me enough to hire me.
i just want a job, one that i know i can perform well. one that is suitable for me...too much to ask? it seems that way. well, i guess nobody said it was easy.
we have to work for things. but, still, for how long?

exercise: 10 minutes walk

I thought i'd have around 1300-1400 calories but i ended up having a rather large dinner at almost 800 calories. It was healthy, though. Everything I ate today was healthy.
The concert today ran smoothly. I'm glad the 4th graders had a positive first experience ever performing their instruments!
I was sooo tired after the concert, just because i haven't been sleeping well. tonight i plan to exercise, because even though i put 10 mintues down as my exercise today, i have yet to complete it! also, i need to practice for my demo lesson.
then, i just found out that I have an interview on Friday, too!
whoa.
2 concerts, 2 interviews, and a demo lesson in one week!
bye everyone.

Oh and Mellow Mushroom is a pizza chain in the South. My favorite pies there are the Magical Mystery Tour, Kosmic Karma, and Gormet White. Here's a link to their website: http://www.mellowmushroom.com/
Congrats on the concert! And good luck on your interview tomorrow!
exercise: 30 min.
calories: 1150. healthy foods.
once again, thank you all for helping me feel a little better about the situation i'm presently in!
I went shopping today because of necessity. I must look presentable at my two concerts tomorrow and the next day. also, i must have another top for the demo lesson after the second concert.
i also had an interview today. I knew i was an unlikely candidate because i am not a string person...just band instruments. but, the job was both. obviously, i can learn. i just presumed there would be people there that do have both qualifications. one of the parents on the committee didn't seem impressed by me. i know i DON'T have that job.
i'm off to take a walk...because otherwise it'll turn into an entire week without exercise..and that doesn't have to be.
hollybelle, you're right. i feel like i'm at that point where sometimes i don't believe that i don't have to eat the way i do - the binging.
i feel like i positively can't binge for awhile...just because i will not fit into ANYTHING. and, really, i don't want that to be the case. In a month and a half, i'll be conducting in front of peers and faculty. in july, i certainly want to feel better about myself...and not worse.

lots of work to do...
i'm stressed out. my clothes don't fit well right now. i've gotten to the point where i know i need to do something about how i look. it's gonna take awhile for me to loose the weight. i have a job interview and also a demonstration lesson this week. i hardly have clothes for the concerts i have to conduct. i don't have time to look for new clothes. i'm a mess.

i started out with a big breakfast, 540 calories. however, the rest of the day went well.
exercise: 30 minutes treadmill.
calories 1490.
i'm off to go do the exercise...haha, and then do work!
have a goodnight!
Progress as of today: -1.2 lbs lost so far, only 4.6 lbs to go!
i messed up today.
exercise: 80 minutes (60 yoga, 20 walk)
i went out to do yoga, which is good. but, i came home and binged. today was my first day in awhile with less errands to do. I was supposed to call this teacher i work with to go over a lesson plan i'll be doing at my demo lesson next week. but, i procrastinated in planning what i would be talking to her about. this is what i do when i'm unsure of myself. dumb. however, it was the same as usual...i was binging slightly slower, and totally understanding that i didn't have to. weird.
goodnight all, and thanks for your comments! :)

How nice to treat yourself to some pampering. I desperately need a haircut too. I guess that would make me a Shaggy Donkey. Stay strong HoP!

busy, busy, busy!! Way to go on the exercise!!
Soon2BThin on 06/09/2007:
Oh, well, one day does not cancel out all the hard work you have been doing, right? Just get back on the horse tomorrow and do the best you can. That's how I look at it. Have a good one!
smiley2 on 06/09/2007:
Great job on the exercise! Im also glad your interview went well, keep us posted! Try and just have yoghurt at breakfast and nothing else....i have found that when i have any other sort of carb at breakfast it sets me up for a binge...dont know why. Have a good day! Wx

We are about the same height. Yesterday I topped off at 2400+ calories, because of the 2 Crunch bars I ate at the end of the day. I wouldn't call that a binge (it's not good, but it's not a binge). My point is, I didn't binge and yet we practically consumed the same amount of calories. I think we're so used to dieting and restricting calories that something over 2000 calories, which my ordinarily be enough to maintain seems like it's "over the top".
Have you tried to eat a little more at meals and then a 200-300 calorie snack 2-3x a day? Instead of feeling out of control when you eat, you will be more in control and keep your metabolism stoked throughout the day???
At any rate, please forgive yourself. Keep trying! To me, eating more but feeling in control is better than the bingeing. I *hate* that feeling.

***HUGS*** Holy cow you've had so much pressure! You know, you've had stress before..but (and I know I don't know the full story of your life) from what you had written before, it was nothing like what you've been facing lately! And you are doing better! Far fewer binges, far fewer 'no exercise' days! Hang tough..when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. I believe that with all my heart in all life situations!
