Good Morning

I had a yummy breakfast. 1 serving of Cheerios, (110 calories) and 2% milk (130 calories). So only 240 calories for breakfast.

Today is my day off. COMPLETELY OFF... i dont have school, and i dont have work. But i have to do stuff for school unfortunately. I have to clean out my car and hand in bunch of papers that are somewhere in there. And i have to make up a bunch of work for the end of the semester which ends of monday. I'm going to the mall today with Danny for just little bit of Christmas shopping that i have left, and i want to see if the apple store can get my ipod started. i left it out in a cold car and i just cant get it started now. Its in my car somewhere again... so i am going to clean my car out before i head over to the mall.

i'm watching The Devil Wears Prada.. i have to book... but i never finished reading it. This movie makes me want to be one of those glamorous girls. haha. As soon as i lose weight i'm going to make myself over. i will buy myself new clothes, shoes, etc. (thats assuming that i somehow can find the money.)

I hate being so tight on money. i know that i'm in college for the first semester so i'm not supposed to have any money... but i wish i did. Doesnt everyone?

i only have presents left for my mother, my brother, and my boyfriend's parents.

I can't wait to lose it all... i know its worth it... and i know that a fast food burger, or a bag of chips, or a pint of ice cream is NOT worth as much as becoming the person i want to be.
 
damn, i still havent started to christmas shop yet...ya I know i'm a procrastinator!

isnt it funny how your days off are now converted into "working" days-days 2 do stuff u cant on other days...it sucks!

Yeah... but thats how life is. haha
 
I had Cheerios for breakfast. 240 calories. Then i had a large sub from Quiznos... thanks to my boyfriend (he made me eat all of it). Thats 641 calories. i havent had anything else today... no dinner yet. i dont know if i'm going to have anything... i'm waiting for my boyfriend to get home before i decide. Plus... i'm not really that hungry anyways.

Danny bought DDR, so that can be my cardiovascular exercise during the winter...its too cold to walk/jog/whatever. My ab lounge comes on the 19th.. but i'm not allowed to use it until xmas. it was my xmas gift.

Ok.. i've decided. i'm having a salad from UNO's for dinner. Danny's bringing it home. 760 calories.

I just had a granola bar to snack on... i was starving (90 calories)

My total for the day will be 1731. But i used DDR and worked off 130-ish calories. And i'll work off another 100-ish calories later... so that will stick to my limit of 1500 for the day. I'm getting good at resisting.

After xmas i will be responsible for exercising every day... between 15 and 30 minutes. I dont want to weight myself for a while. i kind of want to wait a while, and then see how much i went down. i can already feel that i've lost a bit of weight... it feels good. i dont feel as chubby as i used to feel.

I'm on my way to happiness. :D
 
Saturday morning.

Hey everyone!

I have a busy day ahead of me. I have work from 1pm to 9pm. Its saturday, and i work in a restaurant... so it'll be packed. especially because its nearing Christmas, and the restaurant is right near a mall.

Breakfast: 1 serving of cheerios and milk - 240 calories. A glass of apple juice - 110 calories (i think).. total of 350 calories.

For lunch i'm going to be in work... so i think i will grab a granola bar... possibly a sandwhich, or quesadilla. OH GOODNESS... I HAVE NO IDEA! But im going to make myself something to eat before i head into work. Because i wont be getting out until late.

I want to play DDR (dance dance revolution for those who dont know) before i go to work. Just to burn a few calories. i'm going to do that now. i'll exercise for a half hour, and then eat, get ready and go to work.

i'll post again when i get home. Hope you all have a good day!
 
couldnt wait.

i did between 35 and 40 minutes of DDR.. and let me say... WHAT A WORKOUT!!!! i have sweat dripping off me. eeeeew. i have to go to work in 45 mins, so i have to clean up a bit, and then get dressed. This game is a GREAT cardiovascular workout. i suggest all people to go out and buy it. its not even that expensive! and its fun too. This game will definately be my cardiovascular exercise for the winter. i'm trying to take a cool-down time before i start doing stuff again. i wasnt counting how many calories i burned...but from now on i will keep a tally. it tells you after each song... but i didnt keep count this time. I easily just burnt off 100 or so calories. i can still feel my heart beating. lol. i'm going to work soon. and god only knows how much i'll be running around today. i think i'm going to wash up, and then get dressed. i have a long day ahead of me.

it feels good to exercise. :)
 
After work time

I worked my ass off all day. Everything hurts... back, neck, feet... everything. I wanted to play DDR again... but i dont know if i'm going to. i just hurt. i really do. I'll play again in the morning tomorrow before i have to go to work. And then i'll do it one more time that night. (tomorrow i work 11:30 to 5:00) But most of tomorrow night i'm going to have to search through my car for my english portfolio stuff.. it counts as an essay grade in my last class of english on MONDAY.

I ate pretty well.

Breakfast: 240 Calories (cheerios and milk)
Snack: 90 calories (granola bar)
Lunch: 760 calories (Honey Crisp Chicken Salad)

nothing else since. i dont know about the rest of the night. if i do eat i'll post it. but so far... only 1090 calories.
 
Bad Day

Today has been long, and horrible. and yet theres so much more horrible to come.

* First, i woke up and felt pretty good so i decided to weigh myself. The scale i have been weighing in on was an old spring scale. Today i used a digital. I found out the spring scale is 10lbs off!!! So when i started the diet i thought i was 200... well i was actually 210. So when i saw 198 and i thought i had lost so much more weight than that... i was really depressed. But on the better note... i lost 12 lbs so far on my diet. good for me.

* I had a grilled Cheese for breakfast with some water. about 300 calories i'll assume.

* Then i was off to work. I had the longest day ever! and it was only me and a kid who never knows what he's doing.. so i was a host all by myself practically. Sometime during the day chicken was made on a salad that shouldnt have chicken. so i started to eat it. A manager asked what i was eating... so i went to swallow to tell him.... i wasnt finished chewing at the time. and i started choking. i full on couldnt breathe, and i thought i was going to pass out. i went to grab myself a drink, and people thought i was going to throw up.. so they were yelling at me to get away from the ice maching. (i wasnt going to throw up, and i couldnt talk because i was choking, so i got really angry) finally i got the chicken out of my throat.. and i had to hurry up and catch up on the work that i had missed within the last 2 minutes. WHich was alot. Then at the end of the night my manager made me do all the clean up work in the entire restaurant!! The manager names is Steven... he's the one who hates me. The other 2 (scott and chris) are nice. Anyway...

* My boyfriend showed up for his shift at 4, and apparently was closing the restaurant for the night (wont get out until 1 am.) and he has a class tomorrow at 9 am that he still has a lot of work to do for... plus both of us have the english class work to do. So know i'm going to have to do so much homework its unbelievable. So when i finish posting i have to write 2 essays, do 2 portfolios, 6 homeworks for english, and 9 chapters (all his) of work for a class im not even taking. Just so he can sleep tonight and he wont fail.

*I just ate 9 chicken wings because i havent eaten since breakfast, and i had a glass of applejuice. 110 calories for the apple juice.. and i have no idea how many for the wings. they were really small. I know i'm still going to be hungry later. i dont want to cheat on my diet.. i've lost 12 lbs and i'm happy. in only 12 days... But i'm still depressed that i have a lot more weight to lose than i thought. Oh well. I'll figure it out. i might move the finish date off further... i cant lose 58 more lbs by May!



Wish me luck, i'm going to need it!

So over-all my day SUCKED
 
Giving in.

I had icecream. i was starving and wanted to treat myself. i'm just really stressed. i'm going to eat popcorn too. i barely ate today.. so i definately have calories to spare... but w/e. I was bad. I have so much work. g2g
 
Wow!! Your life is really busy right now! I can see that makes it more difficult to fit the right food in.

But congratulations on your efforts and success so far!!!! 12 lbs is a really big deal.

Hopefully you will find time for some chewy healthy satisfying food in there to help sustain you through the rest of your last minute study efforts.

Thankyou! I'm happy about my 12 lbs.. but upset that my weight goals wont happen as fast as i want them to. I wanted to weigh 190 by xmas because that would put me in the over-weight category, and out of the obese category. But i dont think that will happen. So now i have to figure out my other goals. Its just a pain in the butt. Tonight i've eaten all the wrong foods.. i'm in a panic. i had 2 icecream cones and popcorn. But i barely ate anything else. it wont be an "all the time" thing.. just a right now thing.
 
I had a relatively uneventful day.

i woke up around 12:00 ish. Then i went to school to get an essay back. then went home and fell asleep again until 4:00 ish.

For breakfast i had a half of a turkey sandwich.

Then when i woke up from my nap i had a half of a sub roll with 2 meatballs on it.
For a small snack i had a spoonful of icecream.
For dinner i ate baby back ribs. they were bbq and delicious. :D

After that I went to stop and shop and bought a bunch of candy and petit fours, but it was all for my boyfriend. i wont eat it. OK... maybe one. lol. But anywho.. i want to go use DDR for a while to work out. I dont know how many calories i had.. but it probably couldnt have been that much. my goal is to go burn between 150 and 200 calories in DDR. My other goal is to burn 700 calories per week.
 
Sounds like you are over your scary night and back on track. :D That's such an important skill isn't it? Being able to choose a small amount of icecream and not overdo it is definitely a plus for you too. :D Have a good day (or may be that should be "a good day tomorrow"?)

hahaha. yeah.. scary night is over. YAY! thanks...
 
Yay For Exercise!

I played DDR for about 1.5 to 2 hours. (I took a few 5 min or less breaks.. so i'm not sure how long.)
This time i kept track of the calories i was burning... and tonight alone i burned 403.85 calories!!!! yay for me.

my ab lounge will be coming tomorrow, but i cant use it until xmas. (its my gift)

I ate sorta bad today. a while ago i had a small brownie. But i definately worked it all off plus some. Exercising makes me feel good. i cant wait to lose weight! I should be going to bed soon... god knows i'll probably never get my sleep back on track after sleeping most of the day away today.

Tomorrow i have to go to my insurance agent and pay my bill because i have some how lost my bill for this month. And i should probably start to wrap my gifts. i need to go out and by a picture frame as well. Then i have work tomorrow night.

Wednesday night i'm going shopping with my mom. Thursday i am going to my fathers house, and then Friday night and all day saturday i have to work. Umm... then Sunday is xmas eve and i'm going to be at my father's house.

Xmas is going to be busy. i have 3 families to spend time with. My mothers, my fathers, and Dan's. lol. Not enough time in a day.. let me tell you.

I'm proud of myself for exercising. to make my weekly goal i only have to burn off about 200 calories more. and i can do that tomorrow or wednesday when i have some free time. Most of the week i'm going to be busy.
 
That DDR sounds great! How does it work? Do you feel like you're dancing or are you working so hard that it's the exercise you notice? In the past the right music has kept me dancing for ages without really noticing that I'm exercising (not the best for me at present though).

It seems so much like real dancing that you dont notice your exercising. yet at the same time you can understand why it does so much good for you.
