Blackwdw's Diary

I'm feeling a lot more giggly myself today. I'm glad no one thinks I'm an alcoholic. *grin* However, I will be having a bit more Scotch tonight, I think. I have a lovely Dalmore 12 year that numbs my mouth up nicely. Kills the germs, too. I won't have nearly as much as last night, though. Feel free to join me saturdaysaint. Dress code is very casual.
 
Mouth is feeling a bit better today. I seem to be on the way to recovery.

Holy crap, it's snowing! There at least 6 inches on the ground already, and it's still going strong. I made it to work, but the roads are terrible. Good think I only work a few miles from my house. Didn't "work out" this morning, but did shovel snow for at least 30 minutes, probably 45. That is certainly some good exercise!

I didn't realize I ate so few calories yesterday until I added it up this morning. I have a feeling that today is going to be a little high calorie, though, because I don't think I'm going to be going home for lunch so it's vending machine roulette for me. If I had been thinking ahead, I would have brought something. Shoot.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. If you live anywhere near Chicago or Milwaukee, stay home if you can. It sucks outside!
 
chicago is under a white fog this morning - but the trains and busses are running fine - it was just fun getting to the bus.. :D and trying to see them coming :D

oh what a miserable morning :D

Finished my Christmas shopping today. Yay!! Need to start wrapping. Took a nice long walk in the snow. It was such a beautiful sunny day. My husband always says he wants to move someplace warmer, but I would miss winter in the Midwest. Yeah, sometimes it sucks, but today was one of the days that makes up for the suckiness.
 
Well, yesterday was, um, interesting as far as eating goes. We had some people over for a football party/open house. So most of my "meals" consisted of grazing. I'm not gonna add up the calories. It was a lot. Here's what i ate.

Breakfast
hot tea w/ honey 30
oatmeal 150
brown sugar 30

Grazing
tortilla chips
black bean dip
triscuits
fatty bread appetizer thingy
3 brownies
carrots and celery
almonds
1 hard cider
ritz crackers
2/3 bag popcorn w/ nutritional yeast

I know it takes a while for those calories to catch up with you, but I did wake up lighter than yesterday, so I couldn't have done too bad. Drank a lot of water, which probably helped. Anyway, did 30 minutes on the treadmill. I was going to start the Couch to 5K plan this morning, but I kept blowing the stupid circuit with the treadmill every time I upped the speed to run. I need an electrician. So, I just walked fast and let it go.

I bought some red tea because I heard it was good and it is full of anti-oxidants. I'm sure it's full of anti-oxidants. Good? Not so much. It tastes like I'm sucking on cedar chips. Not yummy. I think I'll stick to green and black from now on.
 
Started the Couch to 5K program today. With warm-up and cool-down it comes to 30 minutes of running and walking. I made it all the way through, no problems. Yippee! I'm also back down to the weight I was just before Thanksgiving. Very happy about that.
 
Wow...your menu made me hungry!!!!!

Looks like you're doing great!!! :D:D:D

Congrats on starting your new regiment :D Good luck!

I am sooooo tired. Instead of my usual job (sitting in front of a computer) I spent the afternoon standing on a production line verifying crap on heavy-ass boxes. I didn't know I'd be doing it, so I was wearing high-heeled boots (standing on cement). My back is killing me.
 
I'm a little sore today, but I don't know if it's from the Couch to 5K program or from work crap. Walked for 30 minutes this morning (3.3 mph).

Did another day of the Couch to 5K program today. I'm planning on repeating week 1 next week, because I didn't do three days this week and I really want to ease into it so I don't get injured. I am so proud of myself, though. I have NEVER been in shape. Never. I wasn't an athlete in high school. I wasn't really active as a kid. And now I'm actually exercising almost every day. This is the longest I think I have ever stuck with an exercise plan. And I'm running. Slowly, and for short periods of time, but running. And my dream of being able to run one mile is only a month or two away. I'm so happy--I'm actually a little misty-eyed.

Anyway, I won't be around for a few days. I'm leaving for a short vacation and won't be back until Sunday night. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
 
Wow. It's been longer than I thought since I posted in my diary. I've been around the forum, just ignoring this particular thread. Oh well. I've still been logging my weight, exercise and occasionally food, just not posting it. Life has been busy and my focus had shifted away from weight loss slightly. Not completely, but enough. However, I'm getting back on the horse and I'm not waiting until the first of the year.

I worked out Wednesday (30 minutes of running and walking) and yesterday (30 minutes of walking) but not this morning. I have been running on empty the last few days. I am so exhausted I can barely keep my eyes open, and I've been getting around 8 hours of sleep. I think I am fighting some bug, I've been nauseous on and off the last few days and I had a headache yesterday, too. No, I'm not pregnant. *laugh* However, I thought it would be best to get some extra sleep so I slept in this morning. I'll sleep in again tomorrow.

I've gained a pound or two over Christmas, but hopefully it will come off quickly now that the holiday parties are over and all of my houseguests have gone home (this morning, finally). Here is my food log for the last two days:

Not great, not terrible. Need to step up to the plate (actually step away *grin*) if I'm going to meet my goal. I just need a nap first.
 
Love the post, wishes. *grin* Yesterday was hangover day, so my menu reflects that. I didn't even divide it into meals. Today is back to my normal schedule. I worked out this morning. Thirty minutes of running and walking on the treadmill. I'm drinking a bottle of water as I type and I had a healthy breakfast.

Do they make that in diet? We dont get it here - they tried to market it but it never took off.

Good on ya for kicking off the new year with a bang!
 
They do make diet cherry Coke, but I don't like diet soda. It's yucky. *grin* I really just try to avoid soda all-together. Eh.
