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!
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.
edit: today, sunday: breakfast = 2440 calories. it was calculated, no joke!
WI points: 2.
i had a rehearsal this morning. One of the people i was going with was a girl who has the job that i also interviewed for this summer. I invited her to the rehearsal because my other friend thought it would be nice to have another instrument in our ensemble. i don't know anyone else who plays this girl's instument, so i had to invite her based on the request of my other friend. long story short, the interviewer told me i did a good job at the interview then and there last summer. however, due to politics and connections, she got the job and i did not.
later last summer, i had carpooled with her (the one that got the job)before i knew she had the job. she greeted me with "guess what, I have a job!" when i entered her car. that was the same day i had called up earlier in the morning to see if the district where she got the job had moved on with its application process. i was devastated, to be greeted that way. I know that she was really excited for herself...and i was happy for her. but i was heartbroken at the same time. actually, it was too much for me to handle. I couldn't even calm myself down during the concert and sat in that summer performance sobbing. i was an utter mess. then, i had to drive home with her.
i still get sick thinking about that situation last summer evening. perhaps i'm jealous that she has the job that i don't. but, bigger than that, i can't believe she didn't even say hi to me when i entered her car that summer day. she just splurted out like someone who cannot control themselves at all that she got a job, without thinking how i might feel since she knew i was in the process of looking for one. of course, she didn't know that i even interviewed for her job. she also didn't know that i had called up that same morning wondering if they had moved on in the process.
i seriously hope rehearsing with her gets better...if it doesn't, i am going to have to leave the group and they will have to find a different horn player! I'm serious. I can't bear all of this pain. I am literally a mess.
if i don't get a job soon, i swear, i will look into another occupation. i can't bear it!
3775 calories. unhappy, upset.
It must be so difficult to deal with all the internal politics involved in your occupation, but look at it this way - at least you get to do something artistic and cool which you enjoy! Applying for office jobs is a much more straight-forward process, but then you're stuck at a desk watching the clock all day, like me!
Try to focus on the positives, things will start looking up soon.
((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))) hang in there
Don't stuff your feelings with food; your feelings about this job situation deserve validation. I mean, I can't imagine how much that must have hurt. Like salt in a deep cut on your finger. Ouch.
edit: for those wondering about my ankle, i had broken it years back. it gets week when i overuse it. so, i ran one day (tuesday) and then walked a little too much on it wednesday. Now, its a bit week and hurting from overuse. I've learned that running/walking is best done every other day...for me right now, anyway. however the yoga helped it a lot last night!
WI points: i did yoga, but no walking. no points.
calories: 2055.
many types of foods. a bit too much splenda, diet foods. but, also a nice amount of veggies. I haven't been having a lot of my usual apples a day or any fruits because i'm allergic to them around this time of year! yup, during the spring, when i have my seasonal allergies to pollen, i am also more allergic to fuits and they leave my throat ichy and i start to cough. so, not as many fruits right now.
i'm so happy i did yoga. it really helped me relax and it was a perfect class. I ran into a few people i know there, too!
as for the peanut butter cheese crackers...they are the typical vending machine food. so, biscottibody guessed right! they are simply peanut butter on crackers that are cheese flavored! i wished there was more peanut butter on them, but they did hit the spot.
goodnight all!
yay, finally. bed with good calories. Total cal: 1360.
tomorrow i'm planning on up to 1700.
i'm also MAJORLY excited to do yoga in the early evening.
i'll officially be on vacation after tomorrow, so yoga...here i come!
so, I've had a pretty good day.
No exercise...my ankle has been bothering me since yesterday.
I bought some peanut butter cheese crackers...i was craving them.
I hope to keep calories around 1500 today.
Perhaps another update tonight!
Good job on your calories today! Enjoy your vacation and your yoga classes!!
i did get in my exercise. WI Points: all.
I didn't go to a rehearsal tonight because i've simply had enough. i didn't want another late night. it wasn't a very important rehearsal...and if the conductor doesn't want me there bc of too many missed rehearsals, that's fine! yeah, i'm not worried about this one. Tomorrow i have a late night, for 4 1/2 hours, and that's simply enough for me!
I planned on eating around 1760 calories, but overate in desserts - 3 greek yogurts and an apple, to reach a total of 2070 calories today.
therefore, now I have a five day average of 1850.
If i eat around 1400 tomorrow, i can lower my total to 1775.
thanks for your concerns about my teeth! I agree that it would be VERY unfortunate to mess up my mouth at the young age of 24! I plan to get them out this summer...I'd unfortunately be paying. But, that's the time when i can most spare having the surgery.
have a goodnight!
Hope you get a good nights rest for your rehearsal tomorrow!
4 day total = 1795. i'd like a tad bit lower.
today i ate 1400 instead of 1200. I went overboard on dinner. it was good, though. just too much volume. really filling, how i like it. but i probably should have stopped before the 100 calories of sugar free jelly i had! (10 tablespoons).
2 WI points! yay!
i'm sooo happy i got to go outside today. I jogged for about 20-25 minutes and walked for the other 5-10 minutes!
You're doing great with the exercise, by the way! That's a nice long jog/walk you got in there!
And thanks for your input on my weight/exercise situation. I've tried doing sit-ups off and on but am not doing them at the moment. But my abs/stomach area is not the problem - it's my hips! I am getting sick of dieting, but as you mentioned I have to keep it up for a few more days because there's going to be some serious over-indulgence with my family around next month!
WI points: zero. big fat zero.
the pain from my wisdom teeth is gone...but i've read up and all readings reccommend removal...so i will plan their removal. not yet though. I would if I didn't have upcoming performances!
foods today are a lot volume-wise. but, calorie-wise they're great. I thought i would reach around 1320, but then i ended up choosing a different lean cuisine for dinner. calories reach 1200!
Breakfast: egg, extra large peach.
snack: egg
Lunch: carrots, tomato, tofu.
snack 1: yogurt and balance bar
snack 2: four large plums
snack 3: two servings potato chips (300 cal)
all the snacks were straight in a row, close to one another, within a 1 hour time frame.
dinner: shirataki noodles and fettuccini lean cuisine.
goodnight all.
i took a nap this afternoon because i was so tired. I'm still catching up on sleep! next week i have off from school...so I WILL rest up then!
I didn't find the shirataki noodles at Asian supermarket last weekend. It seems there is a place where I can order them online, but they come in a packet with Japanese writing on it so I won't be sure about the calories. What do you think I should do? Would you take a look at the picture for me and tell me if it looks like the right thing? Here's the link:

It's labelled on the website as "SHIRATAKI Taro Vermicelli". That sounds right, doesn't it?!

Great job on your exercise and healthy food!! Wheatgrass juice?!!!! You have the most interesting food choices! I've never heard of wheatgrass juice, is it any good? Last week I was also guilty of drinking a couple of "diet" energy drinks, ha,ha!!! I know they're so NOT good for me, but I really needed the energy, I felt so tired last week. I couldn't sit down for more than a couple of minutes without feeling sleepy, I hate feeling like that I really love to feel awake and energetic!!
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!
Justine6Robert3 on 04/04/2007:
Well done on your calories also!!
