Ashys Diary

I am right there with you being 95 in a young person's body!!! If I could I would spend all my day walking very slowly through parks and all afternoons watching films with my better half. We always say, we are really really old 22 year olds.
I don't even like clubbing (not because of my weight, just because it is very loud and noisy and smelly) or anything juvenile. Soon I will start playing bridge!!
Good luck on your goals, you seem motivated,
greetz xxMilaxx
 
lol thanks gang for the kind words.
Makes me feel a lil guilty about what I ate tonight though, but either way keep the kind words coming! Makes me feel great.

I had:
1 bean burrito 370 Cal, 10 f, 3.5g st
1 zesty nachos 470 calories, 32 f 8g sat fat
2 diet mtn dews 0 cal

I didn't go over my calories but I should have chosen a more nutritious meal.
The taco bell commercial won me over on this one.
The zesty sauce is yummy!

Total for today:
1160 calories. I have room for a snack before bed time. :)
Tomorrow I'll make an effort to get more veggies in.

800 is so low. I wonder who does that! My mom tries that and i get on turn her!

And its nice to meet someone named mila. I had a good friend from rio named mila :)

lol yah. I hate drinking anything with aspartame in it, but
I need something to help me right now with my soda addiction. I used to drink 4-6 cokes in a day. Sometimes 33 ozs.
im baaaaaaaaaaaaad.
 

I LOST 3.8 POUNDS IN MY FIRST WEEK!

I know there will be some fluctuation, but I'm going to relish the moment.
I'll update my log when I actually eat something today.
Time to go do that!
 
Ashy,

So far, great job on your diet, you are doing AWESOME! And remember, everytime you drink a regular soda, you consume about 10 teaspoons of sugar!!!!

You said you were a WoW nerd? I was too, for a long time. I quit raiding a few months ago, it took up too much of my time and I also think it contributed to my weight gain (i raided 25 hours a week...I was one of the first mages on my server to have full T2), so, I have quit the game (i cancled my account actually on april 15th, i have so much friends on the game, and one of the reasons I didn't want to cancel :/. Anyways, what server do you play on and what class are you?

Anyways, keep at it, and I'll see you around.

Adam
63 Mage / Bleeding Hollow :p (yeah, my friends talked me into buying the x-pansion..and i'm only lvl 63)

I know where your coming from!! I'm addicted to soda too :(, I figure if I buy it I should probably buy diet, but right now I'm breastfeeding, so I have even more reason not to drink soda at the moment.

Congrats!!! :D That's awesome!

Woot! More WOW nerds :eek:... wait... that's a bad thing now right? :p Well not if we still get exercise! :) I can't afford to play it right now anyway, plus with a new baby, you think he's going to let Mommy play? No way, lol...

Anyway, your doing great, I need to go do some yard work... see ya around...
 
Day 7 1st meal.

nut and honey on wheat (360)
18.3g fat 4.8 sat fat
1 16oz h2o
Was pretty hungry. haven't eaten anything today. Wanted to get something nutritious and filling. It did the job magnificently.
 
haha, why am i not surprised to find that other people that play wow are on a diet too?
lol
Actually if you want to see my guild website its

me and my husband run the guild. its on bronzebeard :).
My main is Hestia a lvl 70 mage. I had a full T2 set and its all banked right now :(.
So I guess I can say "roflcopters, and omgbbq" and you guys will get what i mean. We can speak in code. >.>
<('.')>
We started the guild to play with some of our RL buddies. We're doing ok, but we'd do a lot better if we got more people in the guild. We do our best to keep it drama free. Drama is what makes me want to quit the game.

Tamnix: Yes, I'm glad you're not drinking any diet drinks while breastfeeding.

that alone makes me feel scared to drink it, but I don't plan on doing it forever. What server/class were you? :D
Glad to hear you're paying your baby the attention he/she needs because I have been to raids and have heard so many crying/upset kids in the background. I just think to myself..... that kid is gonna have issues..
"My parent's never had time for me because I play wow all of the time"

Deepgreen: Glad to hear your a mage. :) Its nice to pump out dps eh? Well, like you I have considered giving up the game. I have done it before and well... I just ended up spending a lot of money on going out.
Its kind of the thing that me and my husband do together, and hes not really the outdoorsy type. I am though. I can enjoy being outside probably just as much as playing the game, so I probably will mix in time for both.
Sometimes I do have to take breaks because I get so burned out on raiding.
 
Hey! Congrats on the 3.8 pounds!! WOOHOO! Sounds like you're doing pretty good on cutting back the cola too. Good for you! Our comfort drinks are the hardest to get rid of...lol. (coffee for me). Do you still have the headaches? I cut out caffiene completely for awhile and had massive headaches for about 2 weeks, then they went away.

Sounds like you're doing well!

~Nic~
 
Sunshine: Right now I am drinking diet mtn dew and it has plenty of caffiene, and no i really haven't had any headaches really. Thats a relief because I know that a side effect of drinking aspartame is a major headache as well.
Eventually i will lower my intake, but one thing to conquer at a time.
 
had a lot of stuff to do
so I ate fast food again
Sooooo...
For dinner/lunch/snack all in one:
1 bean burrito 370 Cal, 10 f, 3.5g st
1 zesty nachos 470 calories, 32 f 8g sat fat
2 diet mtn dews 0 cal

total calories for today:
Exactly 1200 calories. lol. It wasn't planned. just worked out that way. :)

Now i gotta hurry up and finish my project thats due tomorrow.
:(.

But the first week is over!!!!! I made great progress. Still have some areas i need to work on, but hell for 7 days I did great.
<3 thanks everyone that has posted on my diary. Really, this thing has been a great help so far.
 
Tamnix: Yes, I'm glad you're not drinking any diet drinks while breastfeeding.
Aspartame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now I think I'll just deprive myself the few extra calories to enjoy a coke from time to time ;)... lol I think I'm allergic to nutrasweet anyway... if I remember correctly at least.

I forgot what server I was on, it started with an "A" :eek: lol... my character was a summoner she was only lvl 30 something too :(... I say was because when my hubby and I moved we were without internet for four months and our accounts got hacked and abused, we lost our characters, but thankfully we didn't loose our accounts! Blizzard tried blaming us, saying we gave out our passwords (until we asked them to look at the CC used, the idiot used his own CC), ..anyway... I can't believe how some parents are... I've even seen in the news that people got their kids taken away because of video games, I mean, how sad is that?

Ashy: You are a mage too?? Thats so sweet. Your I was alliance gnome mage, my guild website is . We could turn this into a WoW thread...but lets keep it to weight loss (however, we did get server first C'thun kill (fun a** fight btw)).

Btw, congratz on regulating your diet, you are doing great. Oh, and I know what you mean with when you quit wow, there is nothing to do but go out, but what I did was, I work out in the nite til 10, and I went to sleep early. Thats why I do and its been working great instead of playing WoW :p
 
Tam: yah blizz is too rich to care about its customers sometimes. They had an outbreak of account theft right before the expansion pack.

Deepgreen: Silly gnome! Ok I agree wow talk is a bad idea. LOL might make you crawl back to the game :) And since you're on a roll I'll keep it to a minimum.

And thanks again guys for checking in on my diary. :)

Today:
Coffee w/skim milk: (10)
Late Breakfast/lunch:
Nut and honey wrap on wheat: (360)
Baked Lays: (120)
12 oz coke: (155)
Chicken Salad wrap on wheat: (638)
1 diet mtn dew
Total: 1283

I might have a snack later before bed. No more than 60 calories worth. Gonna eat at home tomorrow. No eating out.
And I'm gonna get me a full 8-9 hrs of sleep. God, I need it.
I rocked my presentation today. The teacher wants a copy of it. She was pretty impressed. :D
high point:
I hope everyone had a good day. Mine was good. The end of the semester is near and everyone is feeling the vibe.
Low point:
I hate what happened at Virginia Tech. What a tragedy. I hope that those who had relatives or friends in the event take care and find resolution soon.
 
Sounds like you had a great day! That's awsome! Weird that Mtn dew has caffiene, lol, In Canada it doesn't (only dark pops can have caffiene...unless it's an energy drink). Anyway Glad you had a good day! and 3.8 pounds in a week! CONGRATS! I find the weather always helps (when it starts to get warmer):cool:

Also agree that it is an awful tradgedy that happened at Virginia Tech, we had a moment of silence today at my teachers college...

Yes, its optional to get "diet caffeine free" but i'll stick with the caffeine for now.

for American soft drinks anyways.

If I could stand the cold weather, I'd live in Canada :) Seems like a nice place to live.
 
Day 9

Went to work (subbed music class today) was kind of fun.
I let the 5th graders know who's boss. :p
Now I am at home doing photoshop work for my husbands project.
Yay.
A bit tired today. Still catching up on sleep.
Hope everyone else is having a good day.
I'm still feeling very positive about this diet. After so many I'll start tomorrows its very rewarding to know that I have stuck with it so far.
A realization that I have had is that this is not that hard. I think what kept me from doing it all along was that I felt I was going to miss out on a lot of good food that I enjoy. Truth is, I haven't missed it much. I'm pretty happy with my goals and where they are taking me. Much happier than any milkshake and fries ever made me feel. A sense of control, and direction.
I just hope I keep losing weight so that I continue to feel this way.

So far today:
Spicy chargrilled Salad w/fat free honey mustard (310)
diet lemonade (0)

more updates to come.

oooh, are you a supply teacher?? I'm just finishing up teachers college and will probably be supplying next year. Grade 5 music sounds interesting ;)

It is very rewarding to have many good days in a row! I had a good day today as well. I'm thinking of setting more exercise focused goals for myself.

But great job with sticking to it!! Sounds like you're well on your way to success :D

~Nic~
 
I feel the same way ashy. I hardly miss any of the fast foods, or that grease and cholestrol and sodium. Sometimes, I get minor cravings, but just thinking of that grease makes it go away ;). Also, I don't miss candies at all. At kid in my speech class asked if I wanted any Skittles; I said no, and politely pulled out my apple slices :)

Damn, I haven't eaten any fast foods in like 3 months (unless chinise foods counts :/)
