Beagle's New Journal

I feel silly having two replies in a row :p

Anyways, after that post I got pretty hungry so I had a small plate of plain spaghetti (well it had some seasoning salt and margarine on it), so another 250. Guess I only banked 100 today :p
 
Mornin' Bailey :D Great job on the loss! I know it wasn't the 2 you were lookin' for but at least you didn't gain, right?? :D Bankin' calories is a great idea. Um, you should shake your container of egg whites before you pour them into the pan if they are commercial ones. There are additives in most brands to keep them fresh, etc. and everything should be mixed together before you pop 'em in the ol' pan :) Great job on the measurement improvement!!!

Hope you have agreat day, Beagle Bailey :D
 

Brush your teeth when you have cravings.. what time do you usually eat supper - see I have my own personal rule that I can't eat after 8pm, I'm like a slug then cause I start to get tired so I don't do much haha - especially after a day of working out and dieting (it's exhausting!). What I do though is I eat everything in very small portions over the whole day - I know that's hard because you're out and about but pre-plan your day then.. maybe you have to buy some better snacks or something. Anyways - this way I'm eating right up until 8pm - still sticking with my diet and not feeling hungry later. Stock up on fruit. Fruit fruit and more fruit! And Veggies. They're my favorite to snack on (well no.. Doritos is my favorite to snack on but you know what I mean) because they have under 100 calories and no fat and they fill you up! The other day I had a subway sub and I was being all healthy, you know, loading on the veggies, made it one of those "6 Subs Under 7g or Less" - then I added a little light-mayo. Turns out the 1 tbsp. of light mayo had 6g of fat - more than the entire sub! So - skip the sauces.. or go for lowfat substitutes.. like mustard. Butter can be a killer.. I keep it off everything. No wonder this diet drives me up the wall! Anyways, I also keep a water bottle with me at all times.. then I can chug half a bottle with a couple of crackers when I'm feeling unneccesarily hungry and *poof* cravings gone! Did you know that your body disguises thirst for hunger? That's why it's so easy to overeat. We think we're hungry when we're really not. I like this whole banking calories idea... I think I'm going to start that today too. Then I don't feel so bad. I jsut can't wait for Saturday - it's going to be my first non-diet meal since the 5th. So keep up the good work with me - we'll have an awesome Saturday - we just have to earn it! :D Happy Tuesday!

Morning Bailey! Cassie is right, if its the store bought commerical "egg whites" like 'egg beaters" or something similar, I'd shake them well before pouring them into the pan. That might help. Now if your'e just taking eggs and seperating the whites from the yolks, you do need to beat those. :) Same as you would regular omelette. Hope this helps!! You're doing great..keep up the good work!
 
Thanks for the tips on the egg whites and snacks in general, everyone :D

Don't really have time to cook this morning, so I think I'll go for some Rasin Bran cereal (200). Hm, veggie sub for lunch sounds good (sans mayo ;)) (200), and I'll have to pack my dinner, michelina's (200-300) and... hm, I don't know, I'll have to check what's in the cupboards. I'll let ya know!
 
Hey Girlfriend I See Your Heading For Them 80's! Also I Am Going To Tell You That You Have The Best Key To Losing Weight Right Now Them **********turbo Jam Dvd's********* I Want Them So Bad And You Can Rock Them Scales With Them! So I Expect To Start Seeing More Of Where You Are Using Them Each Day!!
 
RNW, you always bring massive amounts of energy with your posts, do you know that? :D

So, my food got moved around a bit today. There was no Raisin Bran left, only cornflakes, which I don't like unless I pile on the sugar (not an option!), so I settled for some toast and a banana, which was about 250 cals anyways. Lunch turned out to be a large veggie sub, about 450 cals, because I was still really hungry. I've got a chopped orange and the michelina's packed for eating at work, together about 250 (75+170) - that takes me to 950, so I'll probably have some toast after work to round it out to 1100.

Haven't had much exercise today, and I don't think I will either. I got in 120 situps (30 on each section of the abs), went up two flights of stairs, and walked about 10 blocks so far, but the last two is stuff I do every day. I wish I knew what I did yesterday, because today my hips and legs, and even one of my feet are hurting :( Its really annoying because I can't even find a comfortable way to position myself - if I sit, my hips are bothering me, if I'm standing, my foot does, and if I'm walking, my thighs do. Well, no, I was comfortable this morning in bed, but I don't think they'll let me answer phones lying down ;)
 
You know - I live in an apartment building and it's been so long sinceI actually did a big flight of stairs... it's frickin' hard work! Hahaha I can't believe I let myself get THAT out of shape. You should take a day off exercising if you're sore.. you don't want to hurt yourself more! And why not answer phones lying down? It's possible - I think you should fight that!
 
"Hey supervisor, do you mind if I roll a bed up to my desk? My hips are bothering me and sitting down aggravates it"
"SURE!"

lol, I wish :p

I don't really want to take a day off exercising though, because I did yesterday too... maybe I'll just focus on some middle and upper body stuff. Like, more situps afterwork, and try to do some push ups too :)
 
oh.. no no no, not the dread hip woes!! I swear I did not pass them on to you! :) But really..take it easy, you don't want to aggravate something and make what already is sore even worse!! :) I may even take the rest of this week totally off from cardio.. imagine that! Since my hip is still not right. BAH! :) Anyhow.. You will be fine!!! :)
 
Don't worry, its not like unbearable pain, its just uncomfortable when I sit down for a while. In my first class I was fidgetting so much trying to get comfy I must have looked like I had to pee :p

Okay so bad news: I just got a call from the general manager of the restraunt I painted this weekend. I didn't answer it, so I just got a voicemail, the gist of which was a) I wasn't supposed to paint anything, they just wanted me to come in so they could look at my portfolio (nothing of the sort was said when I was called), and b) he doesn't like it at all, its very poor work. I keep going back and forth between really mad and really hurt because I thought it was good work, and it isn't my fault that the assistant manager who called me wasn't clear with me, and then didn't tell the other assistant manager that was on duty when I came in. He just let me paint away for nearly six hours, and even came by to give me the right text to put up! I was so close to getting some ice cream or something! Thank god I was with one of my friends who is also trying to lose weight, so she wouldn't let me (we did however spend a good hour insulting the management at the restraunt to make me feel better ;))

I don't want to go to work tonight, really. Its just been a crappy day so far and I want to go home and play violent video games in my pyjamas.
 
Bailey, I'm sorry that restaurant left you that message :( What a thing to do to somebody! I mean, they should have made themselves clear and informed their managers! What is going to be done about the situation??

Glad you didn't get that ice cream:) You would've felt good for a little bit of time but then you would've felt guily, etc. What a good friend :D Not "letting" you give in to yourself was a great thing :D

I hope tomorrow gets better for you and you get a chance to play a game or two ;)
 
I called them back before starting work, and got yet another manager (this is 4 now), who was really weak-backed, and I got to tell him off a bit :p

Okay, no I didn't tell him off, but I was firm on the fact that I am not coming back to fix anything and they are not getting their money back. I'm still putting the photos in my portfolio though because *I* liked them :)

Also, since I had 200 cals left for today, Josh bought me a Cadbury Creme Egg. 175 calories of pure happiness :D I'll have to sacrifice my after-work toast, but I think its worth it.
 
I liked them too! They're being retarded - don't let that get you down, and anyways it's there stupid fault - I hope you do tell them off! Oh those Cadbury cream eggs are amazing - God.. I would so love one right now! Hope your day is treating you better - take care! :)
 
Mornin' Bailey :D I'm glad you got to be firm with them (well, one of them) :D They turned out great, so you should put them in your portfolio!

OHHHHH ! Cadbury Creme Egg...... mmmmm I am salivating just thinkin' about it! They haven't hit here yet - a little closer to Easter and they will :D mmmm Can't wait- I'll look at them and just imagaine how they taste! LOL

Hope today goes better for ya :D keep up the great work :D
 
Well its definitely a better day than yesterday, that's for sure Liz ;) But that wasn't too hard to accomplish. Its actually been pretty same-old, though I did stay up pretty late last night finishing up yet another paper (just a short one, not even 900 words). Which reminds me, I need to start work on my swedish term project. What I'm doing is taking a particular scene from Return of the Jedi, having the class watch it muted, and then I do the dubs in swedish. Already approved it with the teacher, she thinks it'll be hilarious, and so do I :D Because the scene is only like ten minutes, and some people might not know the Star Wars story, I'll have to do a few paragraphs of basic backstory so that they'll know what's going on too. Aside from those two, I really only have two other major assignments (though I've got about a dozen minor ones to catch up on in swedish ><). Heh, when I think of all the homework I've got *now* I shudder a little bit to think of what I'll have next year, when I'll be taking mostly 400 level courses (though I have 2 or 3 lower level ones to fill out credit requirements and make sure I don't go entirely crazy :p)

Food so far has been an omelette (that still wasn't the best, but at least it mostly stayed together this time since I shook the carton first) at about 150 cals, couple peices of toast for another 150, and I took a granola bar for a school snack, which was another 150. I guess its a 150 kind of day :p Total then is 450. When I get home from school, probably about 6 since I have a late class today, I'll microwave up some michelina's - I want the pasta one, which is about 300, and then I'll have about 400 calories more left for the day... ooh, I know! I'll have a peanut butter and banana sandwich around 8. I haven't had one of those in such a long time because 400 cals for a sandwich seems like a lot even though it really is pretty filling. I'll splurge a little today though :)
 
So the michelina's tasted good, but there really was not much of it. What can you expect for 300 calories, I guess. I am waiting so patiently until I can get my sammich. I want to wait until 8 because it will be the last thing I eat tonight. NO SNACKING.
 
Heyyyy .. same old same old - I know what you mean! That's a hilarious idea (star wars) - I bet they'll love it.. looks like you had a good day in the eating department:) haha.. I didn't - actually I didn't eat much at all. Too BLLLAAHH...
