I Did It

I did it! I worked off 900 calories. well, 914.04 calories to be exact. I know i should have worked off more than that to keep my calorie intake to 1500, but i didnt. I played DDR for 3.5 hours straight! My ankles started to hurt really bad, so i decided to stop. I was hoping to make it to 1000, but i dont need to do that. I burned around 415 calories last time i played, so 1330 calories for the week is amazing! I am falling into a slump of what i eat. Its the Christmas season, and i just lost my job. I'm stressed. i can use my ab chair starting on Christmas though. So i'll be able to do a bit of strength training as well as my cardio exercise. UGH. I go back to my dad's house tomorrow night (or tonight i should say). Just for the weekend. Then i am staying over Danny's house again on Christmas.. i have a meeting to go to for college. Goodnight!!!
 
I lost one more pound! that puts me at 196! My Christmas goal was 195. I hope i can make it. If not, i'll be proud of myself with what i have done so far! I am running out to the mall in a few minutes to do last minute xmas shopping (because every other time i say i am, i never do it) But i really am today. Then i'm going to wrap presents, then whatever. I need to pick up job applications while i'm at the mall today.


3 more day until Christmas! And only 1 more pound!
 
Yay!!! Congratulations on the pound!!! You are going to meet your goal!! And 3.5 hours on DDR!!! Dang!! That is impressive! Hope you have a great weekend!
 
I had an OK day. I finally went xmas shopping and i wrapped those presents. I havent had much exercise yet. for breakfast i had cereal and milk. 240 calories. Then i had taco bell for lunch. i had 3 tacos.. only 510 calories! For dinner i had a chicken caesar salad. I have no idea how many calories. but if i only had 750 calories for the day before that, i know i didnt go over my limit. I want to play DDR later... but i dont know if i really will. its my first night back at my father's house, and i'd like to relax. i did good today. If anything, i'll play late tonight. i dont want to. I cant make up my mind. i ate good today. YAY me. Tomorrow i'm going to hang out with my parents and my baby sister. awesome.

I only want to lose 1 more pound before xmas... which reminds me:

I have to make weight goals for myself tonight. Even if its just a little bit at a time.

Overall good day for me.
 
You are so dedicated! I can't believe you did all that DDR. That's absolutely...well, amazing! Congrats! You'll reach your goal in no time..

but seriously..that long in ddr. WOW!
 
Breakfast: 440 calories. i had a mini bagel (140 calories) with some peanut butter (190 calories) and a glass of apple juice (110 calories). I guess i shouldnt have had peanut butter... but it was yummy. i am going to mcdonalds for dinner with my lil sis, (she's 3 and thats all she likes) so i'm going to go online and see what i can have, so that i can plan the rest of my day around it. I dont want to go over 1500. Um.. OH yeah. i"m going to take my sister to see her first movie today. I'm going to take her to Charlotte's Web. She's never been to a movie before. I hope she can sit through it! lol. I wont count on it, but i'll get her popcorn so maybe she will like to sit. She can sit at home and watch an entire movie, so maybe at a theater?
 
I think at mcdonalds i will get a 10 piece chicken nugget.. no fries, and a diet pepsi/coke. thats only 420 calories. I hope my sister wakes up in time for the 2:40 movie,she's in a nap right now. I dont really want to wait until the 4:20 one.
 
Umm, calorie counting. 440 for breakfast. (bagel with peanutbutter and apple juice.)

Dinner: mcdonalds.. EEW. 3 pc chicken select, 1/2 medium fry, sprite.

750 calories.

That is a total of 1190 for the day. Plus when i went to see Charlotte's Web with my sister i muched a lot on nachos and popcorn. I probably went over my limit. I hate myself for it. i suck this time of year. Tomorrow will suck because i am eating chinese for dinner at my aunts house. Then on Christmas I eat at my father's house, then my boyfriends, then my moms. UGH. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?!?! I dont like treating my body like this. i dont really want to exercise right now, and i wont tomorrow, and might on Sunday night. I'm tired of being fat. i am really sick of it. i need to stop doing this. And i have the WORST cold ever, so it sucks when i want to exercise, because i already feel like crap. UGH.

I need advice. Should i let the diet thing go just for the holidays?? Or should i force myself to use self-discipline?

I read your post and my heart went out to you. I know exactly how you feel, I've asked myself that same "whats wrong w/ me" questions several times.

As far as what to do over the holiday's, do what you feel like you can live with.

Anyways, hopefully after the holiday's we'll both be more motivated :)

Thanks. Holidays do suck when it comes to diets. After the holidays i will have a lot of motivation, i just dont think i can make it through Christmas without eating a lot... but my appetite has shrunk quite a bit. So thats good.
 
I know i'm not going to be able to make it through the holidays. But on Christmas i'm getting the Ab Chair Delux 2007. It will let me tone my stomach, and it has a bicycle attachment. i guess my diet so far has been pretty relaxed. I've been trying to eat the right foods, and get enough exercise in each week. But after Christmas (which is only 2 days away :D ) i will crack down on myself. I will count EVERY calorie. And if i cant find the calorie amount.. i wont eat it. It is obviously something i dont need (unless its salad at home, i'll still eat that) I will also start exercising every day. Whether its DDR, or the Ab Chair. I know i dont have to rush the weight loss thingy.. but i'm too relaxed with what i eat this time of year. I'm not getting the results that i want. I will be soon. I know it. I want to be the person i used to be. I used to care about looking good, and feeling good. Like, doing my hair every day, my makeup always looking nice, etc. I let myself go big-time. I want the confidence i used to have.
 
I hear you, the first time I started calorie counting, I'd stay up late at night,and just binge. Seriously binge. I think that over the holidays,a few days of cheating will be okay. You'll go crazy if you deprive yourself of food. I'm sure you'll be able to make up for it.

I really understand how you feel. I am going to a party with a bunch of adults,and kids who are going to be stuffing their faces. It'll be hard. Don't be so hard on yourself. After this holiday stuff is out of the way, you're free to go at your life style change for quite awhile.

Don't get discouraged like that. I found the more I used to beat myself up, the more I would eat on my binges. It's okay! you're human!

thanks pinch and newbride. i love how i only started here a month ago and feel like people actually care. :)

i'm going to do my best AFTER the holidays!
I want to eat what i want for xmas eve, and xmas. it will make me satisfied enough for the times after the holiday season.
 
Ok... this is my next goal. to weigh 180 by Valentines Day. If i cant make it, 185 would also be awesome. thats about 10-15 pounds. I am a little happy right now, because even at night (when you weigh the most because of everything you ate is still in your system) i dont weight in the 200's. It makes me feel like over the past month..i've accomplished something. what a good feeling. I'm exhausted. I need to go to bed. I changed my mind. I only want to be 180 by Valentines Day. I'm so discombobulated at night. lol. And yet i refuse to delete anything i type and change my mind about... i'd rather just let everyone see how indecisive i am. haha. good night all.
 
:) it's good that you feel happy with yourself, I think you've set some very realistic goals! Have a good Christmas!
 
I have the worst cold in the world. I have a slight temperature. I am eating, but cant taste. I dont want to be sick. Its Christmas! Ugh. I'm not calorie counting today and tomorrow. Its Christmas. This will be my treat to myself. I have to go to my aunt's house tonight. But it is going to suck because i feel like all my energy is just drained from my body.. I dont really want to move.blah.

Hope everyone is well. Happy Holidays


FYI: did anyone else here know that Michael Jackson owns the Happy Birthday Song. Thats why restaurants always have to make up their own Birthday song. Weird??
 
I am so sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you enjoy your Christmas as much as you can.


MERRY CHRISTMAS BM
