I must admit I was pretty hungry during parts of the day today but I got through it. Pretty balanced eating as well. I amazed myself with calories especially for going out to eat.
Dinner: large house salad no dressing with 4 grilled scallops. also had a fantastically delightful manhattan clam chowder soup with HUGE pieces of clam. I would estimate that dinner really was around 400 calories. To me this seems reasonable for a cup of soup, 4 scallops, and TONS of veggies. It couldn't be too many more calories than that.
total calories: wow! around 1250! how cool is that!? I'm so happy that my progress in weightloss has not stopped through the weekend! I am a bit hungry right now but it's 12:42am so I will go to bed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Early evening edit: after a slightly but not horrible by any means bingy morning or possibly just hungry morning, i have had a good day. :) my grandmother impressed me with her walking - by walking faster than even I usually walk! She is fast! Dinner tonight, taking Dad out for early father's day!

Good morning all! I am up VERY early this morning. A few minutes before 6! So i'm laying around and relaxing. It feels good because I've had a busy week.
I will be probably going out to dinner with family today for Father's Day instead of tomorrow because my sister will be here today. She doesn't live at home so if today works better, that's what we will do! Of course, I'm anxious about going out but I figure there HAS to be at least a healthy salad on the menu!
Progress as of today: 7 lbs lost so far, only 13 lbs to go!
I got something special in the mail today. All of the information about the Radiography program I start in September. I will be starting September 8th, the day before my 26th birthday! I am happy about this because I thought it was starting sooner. I will work up until the end of August and stop by September 1st to prepare sufficiently to begin this 2 year program. I am so excited!
hehe, today is Friday the 13th (and YES it felt like it!!!) and I have 13 more lbs to lose! that's my first weight goal. 13 is so little! still going strong to the end.
B: cereal, milk, peach 190
snack: yogurt 70
lunch: tofu, yogurts: 240
snack: 2 whole cucumbers, dressing, cereal, apple: 400 (shouldn't have had the apple because i was full but my mouth was hungry!)
total so far: 900 :)940 - peach
dinner: 390 microwavable + extra noodles big dessert of tofu/sf jelly 275 = 665
total: 1605. no exercise. movie with family.
It's been a good day. Talked to many colleagues and had an enjoyable lunch conversation. The kids are definitely going nutty though. I work with the ones with behavioral issues very often and let me tell you - they know school's just about out as much as I do!
I've been bringing a liter of seltzer with me to work and it helps a lot with hunger. I also had some diet coffee soda - it's made by the brand Manhattan Special. I must pick some up for my mom or i'll be dead! It's her's. and it's good. i'll have to stop though, because it has artificial sugars and they make my skin whacko.
Progress as of today: 7 lbs lost so far, only 13 lbs to go!
Have a good evening and hope your weekend is a pleasant one...
Looked up the Manhattan Special Soda's...Doubt I will find any here...I think I have bought something similar @ a specialty type store once, but wasn't sugar free.... It was pretty good.....
An amazing 5 mi walk accomplished mostly without my ipod - it died during the walk!
late edit: Dinner: a lean cuisine (250) with a MASSIVE amount of veggies with spray dressing (190). what is massive? a whole cucumber, a cup of grape tomatoes, and a whole romaine. all of this for 440 calories. i eat a lot. I do love veggies but I don't like to eat them during the day because they don't satisfy me. they are bulky, but the don't take my appetite away. at least i definitely got my servings in!
total calories: 1280 :) wow. nice work to me.
FINALLY ONE MORE POUND DOWN. wow, it took me over two weeks for this pound to come off (but there was a binge with caused that it to take that long) IT'S DEFINITELY SLOW BUT STEADY THIS TIME AROUND. it's definitely more of a challenge than when i first started dieting at age 20, almost 6 years ago! I let the weight creep on this year and now I'm slowly letting it go.
i definitely slept until my alarm today! :)
breakfast: peach, cereal, milk: 190
snack: yogurt 70
lunch: tofu and yogurts: 240 :)
snack: lg apple, cereal, milk: 300 and a peach...little much on sugar...and some kind of really cool diet Coffee soda! and it's good, quite sweet. sugar free. my mom had bought it in like a liter container to mix with vodka. so today i give into an artificial sugar temptation. I am also drinking loads of seltzer today.
today has gone well...even better that tomorrow is friday! :) I cannot wait to find out if I have jury duty next week! i really want it.
today is an end of the year party for the teachers where i work. since i won't be there next year, i decided not to attend. it does cost $35 but i feel since i will not be there next year, there's no big reason to go.
Progress as of today: 7 lbs lost so far, only 13 lbs to go!
We Can Do It!!!!!
Have a good walk!
Diet coffee soda??? Wow. Isn't it amazing what people come up with these days? Coffee soda. When I sound it out in my mouth, it doesn't taste good. I like coffee; I like soda. Coffee soda? Well, this debate could go on and on, so i'll save you the whole yawn of a story and move on...
Keep up that walking and the pounds will continue to melt away! Yes, two weeks at a time, maybe, but at least this way it's more likely to stay off! Have an awesome day today!
I was really tired today bc I woke up over an hour early. Otherwise, it was a good day. Expecially in the morning. Everyone came to work in a fantastic mood because we knew it would be a little cooler out. AND, tomorrow it will be comfortable in the building for sure :)
I haven't exercised. I came home exhausted. I am probably, honestly, not eating enough during the day up till when I get home. It's not like I'm not eating. Oh well. It's also just the actual times I can eat at work and they don't work optimally for me. They work well enough. 2.5 more weeks! yay! :)
arg! still 129. but holding strong and I know I AM making progress even though the scale hasn't changed! I think I may be a little bloated also from the amount of food/sodium in my dinner which was totally worth it. I woke up slightly early, not sure why. I am a bit frustrated that the weight isn't coming off sooner!
early breafast: peach, watermelon: 100
breakfast: cereal/milk 175 :) good choice! (almost had PB on bread)
snack: yogurt 70
lunch: yogurts, tofu: 220
snack: many cherry tomatoes and a whole cucumber with dressing 150, cereal and milk 250 (total 400 whoops...i didn't realize until after how many cherry tomatoes and the calories they equalled!)
total so far: 965 pretty good.
dinner: microwave lean cuisine flatbread yum and bag of red cabbage with little dressing 440
total: 1405. and i ended up going on a 5 mi walk! yay to a good end to the day!
I am excited for it to be Wednesday already. I am hoping to get Jury Duty next week so I can miss a few days of school. I will be taking a day off next week possibly if I don't get Jury Duty.
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
tofu dipped in light activia yogurt was something i tried today and liked. I'm going to keep this up for a few days as I have a lot of tofu in the house that I need to use as well as too many light activia yogurts. I bought everything when they were on sale! I do want to get in more veggies but right now I'm liking how the weightloss is going and just want to eat what I have in the house. I'll start rethinking lunch when I begin my new job at the end of the month, well, maybe I'll begin to think about other food options...
exercise was at a park very close to me. I biked for 6 mi and walked 2 mi. exercise lasted 1.5 hours :)
BREAKFAST: peach, cereal, milk: 190 cal!!! now that's pretty amazing!
SNACK: yogurt 70 :)
LUNCH: tofu/yogurts: 280 :)
SNACK: peach, cereal, milk again: 235
DINNER plan: cup brown rice, teryaki salmon, salad with dressing, lg apple. total 550 :)
total calories today: 1325 which is fine by me!
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Have a great day today!
And how do you eat your tofu?? That's been something I've wanted to try too!
Did ya get ya some of those lean pockets?...I could not resist getting the box of 12 I got @ Costco for $8.99.. They know what they are doing by giving out those samples... Probably will last a couple months, as I am not one to eat them very much, just nice for a flavor change..
Good Evening to you!
exercise: FIVE miles! wonderful!
variety didn't exist today with my food choices. At least a got a good amount of fruit in and 2 yellow peppers! haha.
B: apple, cereal, milk: 250 :)
lunch: yogurts, cc: 260
snack: cereal, milk, cc: 280
snack: 2 yellow peppers, lg apple: 190.
dinner: cereal/milk: 250
total: 1230 = AWESOME
i decided to try to find insurance today for students and it didn't work very well...so now it's 5:30 and i've snacked a little more than i could have so i'm going for a walk then picking up something microwavable for dinner. i'm not in the mood for tofu/brown rice tonight even though i like it very much. i need to get up the motivation and perhaps even go on my favorite 5 mi walk (not in the mood for 6 mi).
also, i am in the mood for something a little rich for dinner. not in the mood for lower calories. maybe going on the walk will make me feel better! I know it is better to come home and get out of the house ASAP or I start the binge process really easily but it was 4pm and I wanted to make calls about insurance before it was too late!
no other interesting news to report today!
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Hope you can get out and about...I give bets that if you go "5", you will talk yourself into "6" when you get to the "5".... Check in on ya a bit later... I went my 6 this morning, but still may go another 2 when Ben has his 1 hour warm-up before the game.....
Hang in there....the day is almost over my friend...You WILL MAKE IT!!!!!!
Terrific Tuesday to you tomorrow!
total: 1470. i laugh since i was trying to go for a day in the 1200s or at most 1300s. Will try again tomorrow. The good thing is that I took a walk and did hot yoga.
I am still around 129 because of the binging last week. It took longer than expected to get back! But i'm here. By the end of this week, I'd love to see something around 127-128. I guess high expectations never work out so i should settle for something logical.
today is a good day. and I am looking foward to yoga. I want to bike there but I think it will leave me too hot and sweaty. so, i'll bike LATER at the park. i may bring a lawn chair there and do some reading too.
8:45am Breakfast: peach, fiber one, puffed rice, milk: 230 :)
snack: none.
12:45pm lunch: ultima 10 calorie drink mix after yoga, yogurts, cc :)270 I was actually full after the cottage cheese but decided to eat the yogurts anyway.
2pm snack: veggies and teryaki salmon, peach...280 calories too much. I left the house too late and ate all of this just about one hour after I had lunch!
6pm snack: soy chips 140
7:30 dinner: brown rice, tofu, veggies, dressing, salad, 6 ounces raspberries, peach (obviously a little overboard!) 540
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Your doing very good!
Girl, is there something you cant do? That's a good plan you have. Politics.. yikes! I agree with you there. Sounds like a good investment and a good career plan. You should not stop playing music though. I love horns! Xo.
The day was not totally destroyed. i went on a 1.5 hour stroll. ate a quart of pickles (way too much sodium).
Total calories: 2250
Big breakfast. I felt very hungry as well as bingy upon waking up probably due to the large dinner I had.
7am B: peach, 2 cups fiber one, milk, cinnamon, cc: 440.
10am S: too many carbs: 2 peaches, 2 light activia yoguts: 220
11:15am L: tuna, bbq sauce, lettuce, tomatoes 175 apple 130, 11 chocolate milanos 1020 total, not in the mood to eat light today...3 servings chips 500 and i really want a burrito.
2180...
definitely need to rent a movie or two to keep my mind off food later.
goals for the rest of the day: eating: minimal. i will take today off from most exercise unless i feel inclined for a short walk. perhaps return the clothes that don't fit my grandma.
goals for tomorrow: 1200 cal. be successful. don't give in at the drop of a hat. lose the weight and don't stay stagnant. yoga in am. walk in pm.
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
You know what, Horn? I don't think the hours of walking yesterday helped the scale any this morning...it was still at 152. So...I'm still 'sailing' to Island 151...oh well. That's the way it goes sometimes, huh?
Hope you have a real good evening! Big smile to ya!
I read yesterday's entry and I can SO relate to things in the workplace getting you down. My workplace gets so tense sometimes and I have to remember that it doesn't involve me and I need to do what's best for me - in which I end up ignoring their behaviours and continuing on with my day as cheerfully as possible. Sometimes it doesn't work as well as it is written though, and that's frustrating. I hope things get better for you!!!
Breakfast: strawberries, cereal, milk: 230.
snack: fruit salad in faculty room 100
snack: cc 120
lunch: yogurts, cc: 270
snack: cereal/milk. 230
snack: peach 40
dinner: I will NOT call dinner a binge. instead, i will say I splurged on dinner. Soup, salad, dressing, 2 cups strawberries: 400, followed by: 2 tbls pb, 2 servings of ritz crackers (an extra 350 cal) total 750.
total 1740. I will say that I do not mind this calorie count for today mainly due to the awesome exercise i did.
i know i walked more than five miles. I am not sure exactly what my mileage is, but i'm hoping it's between 6.5 and 7. :) probably closer 6.5...I hope it's this much!!!
so, I probably burned at least 2200 cals today. hopefully.
My goal is to have calorie counts in the 1500s during the weekend - and not more.
in terms of yoga, my plan is to go on Sunday morning and probably not tomorrow morning especially bc its 10pm now and i just finished dinner. i'm full.
if there is a happy hour, i don't plan on attending after work. mainly, i will not be seeing ANY of my coworkers next year and I would rather exercise than have to sit around while people drink.
i spoke to a friend last night and she helped me realize how important it is NOT to let the actions of others in the workplace affect me so much. It'll only make it harder for me and who wants that!? so i have next week, then i might have jury duty the week after, and then it's the last week of school! 3 more weeks!
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
Early AM snack: peach 40 LOTS of tea.
Breakfast: fiber one, 1 cup milk low cal: 170. :)
snack: CC 120
lunch: yogurts, cc: 280 :)...and some honeydew 50 left in the faculty room! why not!?
total so far: 660
snack: apple and large cereal: 370
total so far: 1030.
dinner: bowl minestrone soup, salad, dressing, marinated peppers 350
total 1380...little high but overall a good day
i am officially going to win the DD award for most complaints! I am so sick of teachers who regard Teaching Assistants as being INVISIBLE. today i'm in the faculty room and a teacher i work with ALL the time came in. He said hello to the nurse and ignored me completely, as usual. I just though it was so obnoxious. If you say hello to one, don't you usually acknowledge the others. boy do some of these teachers (not all of them of course) need a MAJOR wake up call. I may say things or outwardly say hello to those who never really even look at me when they pass. that's really why i don't say hello either - these certain teachers even make it more obvious by turning their heads down or like walking the manhattan streets, making believe they've never even seen you before. what a disgrace...it gets to me now and again.
Progress as of today: 6 lbs lost so far, only 14 lbs to go!
People are so RUDE! Imagining having to pretend you don't see someone just to get out of saying "hello" . . . that is sad and pathetic.
Have a wonderful evening!
Menu is looking good, including dinner! Have a nice evening!

I'm sure there will be lots of healthy choices on the menu. You will be fine. Enjoy your walk:)

Go for the salad! Yayyy!!!
Beth201P on 06/14/2008:
I am sure there will be lots of healthy choices. You can do it. Enjoy your dinner with your family. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.

We spent the day with my dad today, cause Sunday's are just so busy for us and we like to sneak a little rest in before Monday morning... Hope you had a super time!
mmuraro on 06/14/2008:
hope you enjoyed father's day. dont hate on my menu today, it was an unusual day. hehehe. i always think of you when i am thinking of food and motivation. thanks! xoxo Ps: i saw another pound and a half go bye bye today and it was after i had breakfast, usually i weight in first thing in the morning before eating! :)
thinnsidenotout on 06/14/2008:
Ended the day with a 4 miler...Too dark to go any further by myself...Tomorrow will be a "6".... Goodnight : - )
mcwoo40 on 06/15/2008:
Hiya,I have been hungry with these tabs i have been taking more so when i have'nt been taken them and loads of exercise.I think it's mind over matter with me at the moment, that i have taken a tablet so i have to be good.Also going back to the docs for a review is stopping me raiding the fridge too.Keep it up,Julie
selina on 06/15/2008:
I'm so envious of you! I havent had clam chowder in a LONG TIME. It's one of my favorite foods. Manhatan or New England... I'm so happy for you you ar staying on track. I find that the reason I don't seem to be progressing with my weight loss is that although I am eating the right things, I am eating TOO MUCH of it. I have to pay attention to portion sizes if I want to go any further. I seem to like VOLUME. Too much of a good thing is bad for me.
mmuraro on 06/15/2008:
Hehehe... thanks baby! Congrats on your day! Good job! Sometimes I go to bed hungry too, not often, but happens, especially if i am up late, but i wonder if that's 'real' hunger or its just because i got used to eating more than my body needs. have a great sunday!
