BmOhearn's diary

ok... my calories caught up with me. i was up to 650 calories before dinner. Between the gatorade, lunch, and a celery stalk. then i had a horrible dinner. I had 8 peices of popcorn chicken in a wrap and about a cup of pork fried rice. I say i hit about the 1500 line. So... i did bad for dinner... but good for the over all day. My goal for next month is to choose healthier options!! i dont care if thats what people other people are making for dinner... i'll find something myself. I still have to make monthly goals for myself though. i'm, off to do that now. tomorrow i'm going job hunting. wish me luck.
 
Happy New Year Everyone!

I'm not even going to write down everything i've been eating on new years eve and the day before. i ate TERRIBLY. its disgusting. But i know how bad that made me feel, and i'm not going to let that feeling come back.

My boyfriend told me that he can tell i've lost weight, cuz he cant feel my belly as much. :) He made me smile.

New Years Goals:
*to lose 10 pounds this month,
*to choose healthier option foods,
*to eat between 1200 and 1500 calories per day,
*between 135 and 252 carbs per day,
*between 27 and 60 grams of fat per day,
*between 30 and 136 grams of protein per day.
*to burn at least 700 calories per week.
*4 bottles of water a day (8 cups)

I woke up to have breakfast with my boyfriend. He had lucky charms, and i had an orange.

Orange= 62 calories
15 carbs
0 grams of fat
1 gram of protein.

I'm exhausted, so i think i'm going to take a nap. Then i'll have some oodles of noodles for lunch. I'm just so tired lately. its rediculous.
 
Lunch time.
Ramen Noodles. 381 calories, 55 carbs, 14 grams of fat, 8 grams of protein.

Total So far today: 442 calories, 70 carbs, 15 grams of fat, 9 grams of protein.

Still going good today. i just woke up from my nap. I have to get ready today. lol. tonight i'm going to see a movie with Danny. Yay.

I'll update later after i figure out what i'm going to eat for supper.
 
I looked up online the restaurant i got a gift certificate to on Christmas. It a sandwich place. When Danny gets home we're going to get something to eat, and then go see a movie at the mall. Hopefully we'll have some time in between because i have to do a bit of shopping first. I dont know if i'll have time to exercise today. Maybe when i get back from the movie i'll do DDR for a little bit and burn off 200 calories or something. I need to eat a lot more protein today, so maybe i'll get a turkey sandwich or something for dinner. I cant find a menu online for this restaurant, but i think its just a small place. I want to lose 10 pounds this month, and i hope thats not too much. i think i'll be able to do it, if i work hard. I want to be 180 by Valentines Day, and thats 15 pounds. i lost 15 pounds already in December. Every other month i want to lose 8 pounds. 2 per week. I dont have my ab chair with me (at Danny's house), so i cant do my sit-ups today. :( I'll do DDR later on... yep yep. I really want to eat a half of a quesadilla right now. Just because i am getting hungry. But i just ate lunch a little while ago. I want to take better care of myself. So maybe i shouldnt eat. I'll go pluck my eyebrows or something. Then i'll play a game, and afterwards i have to go take a shower so i can go out tonight. I cant stop thinking about last night when my boyfriend Danny told me that he can tell that i had lost a lot of weight. my tummy is disappearing, but not that much (that i can notice) but apparently he thinks it has. it makes me proud of myself. I've decided that when i get down to 160 i am going to buy myself dumbbells to work my arms. i dont want a lot of muscle, but i want to be toned. My abs too. When i finally make my goal i will be so happy. And i really just want to keep that in mind. This summer i WILL wear a bikini and be happy about it.

I found a job. I found a week long job doing inventory at Macy's which is just a retail store. But afterwards i am PROBABLY going to get a job at Victoria Secrets which is a lingerie store. Ummm... i cant remember if i already posted that...oh well. i have to still fill out the application there, but its ok because they already pretty much said that i am perfect for what they are looking for. Awesomeness. lol. I need to get a job!!!! I dont want to be so stressed all the time.
 
Dinner calories: Pork chop-338 calories, 0 carbs, 15 grams of fat, 47 protein
stuffing- 54 calories, 10 carbs, 1 gram of fat, 2 grams of protein
a twice baked potato- 72 calories, 17 carbs, 0 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein.

For the day that leaves me at: 907 calories, 97 carbs, 30 grams of fat, and 60 grams of protein.

I'm still allowed to have 593 calories, 155 carbs, 30 grams of fat, and 106 grams of protein.

So i might make myself a half of a quesadilla. i love them, and i'm starving.
i dont know if i should eat it... but i need something. i'm so hungry. i've barely eaten anything... well, not true, but i'm still hungry. Maybe i'll eat more noodles. who knows.

EDIT: 410 calories for my xtra mini meal. total of 1317 for the day.

You are right to pay attention to your feelings of hunger. Ignoring them might make you fat!! You have been pretty good at choosing the healthiest thing from limited options. Keep it going!! :)
 
Good job with your calories. I have a difficult time staying satisfied during the day because I tend to go easy on calories and save them up for the evening. That's great and all because I can have a bigger dinner but my energy levels during the day just go up and down. Try a plan where you are snacking throughout the day on healthy low cal things to keep your energy levels up. They have those cute 100 calorie bags of chips and popcorn or just the old favorite celery lol. You sound like your off to a good start this year:D
 
Thanks felici and mishi. I woke up around 1:00pm. So i had a half of a ham sandwich, and half of a corn muffin.

Sandwich: half
Bread: 100 calories, 1.2 grams of fat, 19 carbs, 2.9 grams of protein.
Ham: 34 calories, 0.7 grams of fat, 2 carbs, 5 grams of protein

Muffin: half
87 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 14.5 carbs, 1.5 grams of protein

I also had a bottle of water. (2 cups) and i didnt put any butter on my muffin.

Total so far today::
221/1200-1500 calories, 4.4/27-60 grams of fat
35.5/135-152 carbs, and 9.4/30-136 grams of protein.
 
i did terrible today. like... 400 calories over. oh well... i cant do anything about it now. But its a terrible start to a new year. I will make up for it by being extra hard on my exercise and such. I know i dont have weigh-in for another 6 days, but i think i may have put too much pressure on myself to lose 10 pounds this month. Oh well. i'll be better.

It could have easily been 1000 over so don't beat yourself up too bad. When I have a bad day I just try to cut back a little the next day or do some extra walking or something......
 
A one day lapse won't have too much impact unless you carry it on. It's the way you keep on trying and keep on recommitting that has brought you this far. Keep it up. You are a resolute and resourceful person and I know you will do this. :)
 
ok. I havent been all so excellent over the past few days. i'm BAD. But i am going to find pictures to motivate me. If i see how nice i could look and feel, that would make me more into it. I've been rally stressed out lately, losing my job, stressing about paying the next semester of college, dealing with my parents. I want to find pictures that will stop making me be so stupid. I went to the mall today and tried on bras. It is so depressing to see what i look like naked. i hate looking at myself in a mirror. i shouldnt have to feel like that, you know? But it definately made me realize stuff. I have no idea how many calories i ate today. about 450 for dinner. And a cheeseburger sub and a piece of pizza for lunch. I probably did ok calorie wise... no exercise today... and not very healthy food. I wanted to lose 3 pounds this week, but i gained a bit of weight, and need to lose 6 this week now. I'm gunna get my butt in gear. I'll have a salad for supper, fruit for breakfast, I think that would help. and i know i have it in the house. I'm off to look for motivational pictures now. I saw some girls from highschool ( i only graduated last june) and they got really thin and looked amazing. i want people to say that about me, i was too embarrassed that i let myself get fat, and didnt go over and say hi. i want other people to think i look good. Ya know? Whatever. I start my job tomorrow night doing inventory tomorrow night. i have to wake up early in the A.M. to find a shirt to wear there. i hope i find one in time!!!

good luck guys!!!
 
Hey you are not bad. :) Maybe you are right that you put a bit too much pressure on yourself to lose weight too quickly. Perhaps it would help to just do the best you can every day - you seem to have made some progress with that previously. Look at your Ticker. You have moved a substantial chunk along that arrow. :) I hope you get some fun out of your new job. :) Making some time to fit in your exercise might help perk you up. That thing with the music sounded fun.

Keep your head up and take it a day at a time! you can do it! Maybe instead of a weight goal for now you can just have a "getting back into the swing of things" goal. Don't give up! You have done so much so far!
 
Hang in there bm. The only thing you can do that will stop you getting where you want to be is quitting. Everything else is fixable. :)

How was work? :)
