BmOhearn's diary

Thanks txturtlegirl! I know its only 1/2 a lb... only 1750 calories. 3500=1lb.

But i'm still psyched about it! mostly b/c i wasnt up to my own standards EVERY day this week.

My next week's goal of 1 lb should be easy to keep.

Tomorrow's Valentine's day... my own well-deserved chocolate day!
I know that will be 2 bad days in a row, but i dont mind. I can lose my 1lb by Monday.

The food at the restaurant i work at... IS DELICIOUS!!! Its all italian food. I didnt ever think that i liked any type of italian food, but i LOVE it. I guess i just havent tried enough stuff to know...but i have now!
 
My BMI is 30.7 (duh. its on my ticker) The obese category. i got out of it before, just to the point of over-weight, 29.9. But i know i can do it again.

Here are some BMI marks for myself. (being 5'7")

Top of the overweight category: 191 lbs (29.9 bmi)

Middle of Overweight category: 175lbs ish (27.5 BMI)

Top of Normal weight category: 159 lbs. (24.9 BMI)

The over-all goal weight: 135 lbs (21.1 BMI)

So i obviously have a WAY LONG WAY to go. another 61 lbs to go. But at least its not 75 like it was at the beginning of december. I havent been hard on myself since then either. Its been mostly since January that i have REALLY been dieting. But i lost a lot of weight that i gained back. But its sliding off again.

I'm very motivated. And i'm not scared to allow myself some cheat days, i'd go crazy if i couldnt. Anyways..i'm still looking forward to the journey ahead of me.
 
good to see you well on your way :D

You made the choice and you're heading there in the right direction. Thats the main thing.
The hard part is waiting! the time spent waiting is the worst part of weight loss!
 
Ok, so...today was a busy day. I've had not too much to eat surprisingly. Grilled cheese and soup, 1 bite of a snickers, 5 assorted chocolates, and a few bites of food i had to try at work.

I'm not counting calories today though. its valentines day. I am going to LIVE. lol.

Work i had until about 9:30pm. The roads were flash freezed from 5pm-8pm. So it was terrible conditions. I called my mommy who lives close to where i work to pick me up and bring me home. I was scared to drive home myself. So she came, and followed me all the way back to where i live. (about 30mins 1 way out of her way.) I love her so much! She does so much for me.

Umm..NOthing else to write about. I'll update tomorrow night probably. i have school in the am, then work in the pm.

in school i'm in table service... so i'm going to pretty much be working in a restaurant all damn day tomorrow. GREAT!!

i'm starting to get burned out. I've been working every day since Saturday in what seems to be consecutive hours. But i know its not that bad. I just havent had a job in the past month and a half. So it seems overwhelming. Its fun at the restaurant i work at. I dont feel like the "New girL" because every is new... its a brand new restaurant with brand new people. And i feeel like every one is so nice. They are all easy to talk to, and i know that no one will shoot me down and make me feel bad. its awesome.

Good niight.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
 
You are a busy girl! Sounds like you are doing so well! Congrats on the weight loss and I hope you had a great calorie counting free day! Happy late Valentines!:)
 
Wow!!
You have a job!
You are really psyched up for your weight loss and
you lost 2.5 pounds!!!
Way to go!

I am happy for you! It has been great to catch up with all the good news in your diary. :)
 
thank you everyone for the nice comments you left me.

I havent been counting any of my calories. But i havent been eating all that much.

Thursday: a glass of apple juice, a small brownie,4 chocolates (theyre small!),

friday: cheese quesadilla, 2 slices of pizza, 2 rolls, 2 slices of a grilled cheese thingy. (about the size of a half of a sandwich)

Its not good for me. But i really havent eaten all that much.

I have no work Saturday or Sunday. I'm going to my mom's house. Then Danny is going snowboarding on Monday with his friends. (i'm not invited!) i wish i could go, i like snowboarding. But oh well. I am hanging out with my friend next week too.

Update on work: i love love love it. I like working there. its so nice.
 
felici- I could easily have good food. I just havent been worrying about it too much lately b/c i dont eat that much to begin with. I need to get better about that. And i have been too busy to exercise either.

I am aggravated. Dan wont get off WoW. I have the game, and i could play it too, but i dont want to play it all the time.

Saturday: i'm going to my mother's house, and maybe to a friend's house.
Sunday: Mom's house i think
Monday: mom's house/friends house... work from 4pm-8pm Not too long
Tuesday: Friend's house/Mom's house... work from 10am-4pm.
Wednesday: school.

I dont know whats up for the week after that. I wont see dan all that much. Not like i get to really spend time with him now anyway. He wont make time for me. For some reason or another, i still love him. Oh well. I'm going to go find something to do to piss him off. Like download a song so his game slows down a lot. he'll learn. Why should i get off of what i'm doing? he should get off so i can download faster. right?lol.
 
I am not commenting about your boyfriend!! :D

I wanted to say that I have really appreciated your posts lately. Especially I appreciated you posting when I couldn't get on line. When I finally got back on and read your diary it gave me a great lift!! Thank you. :)
 
I guess I should read your diary before responding to you on mine! Didn't realize you already had the game... hate to see it bother you but I understand the feeling! I hope things get better!
 
Hey there... I just started my healthy lifestyle on Monday and boy is it hard to do alone. Thank goodness for my friend that's here on the ship w/ me and my work out am group. This forum I know is going to be my support as well, especially when I leave the ship next month and am back at home.

You should have at least 1 day where you can cheat. Not binge, but cheat a little. Like have a candybar, small fry, or milkshake. If you deprive yourself of EVERYTHING you're not going to make it, trust me, been there and done that.
 
fsaiidni- I'll never know. At least i know someone's there with me.

felici- Still enjoying my busy schedule. thanks for asking. I like being busy. A lot because i dont eat as much. it makes me feel like i'm losing more weight

mishi- i think i have to deal with it if i am going to be with him. It will never stop. I really do think its a terrible addiction. (in moderation...ok. )

aisha07- i agree. I couldnt be so determined to lose weight if i didnt at least cheat a LITTLE bit once a week. Good luck on your diet.

I havent posted in a few days. And i'm sorry bout that ladies! I for some reason cant see my user CP anymore today, so i promise i'll comment next time you all post.

I have been eating sort of bad... but very very little. So calorie wise, i'm doing great.

Today:

A little bit of chicken, a handful of frozen fries (cooked of course), skipped on the broccoli cuz i didnt really want it. 1/2 of a king size 3 muskateer's bar, and 3 bites of chocolate icecream. Thats it. Sucky food, but very little. Because i worked all day.

Yesterday..i had a cheeseburger sub w lettuce,tomatoes,bacon, and some fries. and before work i had a hot dog, and baked beans.

I need to start concentrating again on good foods. But i lost the pound that i wanted to this week. 195 now!!

I need to lose 2 lbs this week. So I think i'll only eat healthy foods, and maybe a few days of exercise. I work 5 days a week i believe. So it will be kind of hard. Next week a new DDR comes out so i can play it. It is about

NEGATIVE 10 degrees Fahrenheit with windchill. So i really CANT go outside to walk. I'd freeze with all the sweating i'd do.

I'm not working again until Friday, so i'll have plenty of time to exercise tomorrow and thursday.

I still like my job. I love it actually. I asked to be full time b/c i really really really need money. Especially since i want to pay people off quick, save for a new car, and then for a new apartment. So i really need to do that. I'm psyched to have money. My boyfriend makes a bunch of money. he only works 2 days a week. Saturday and sunday. Some days he does doubles. (he is a waitor) He could make a lot more if he worked just a FEW days during the week. But its ok. He has his bills, i have mine.

So life is good. I'll post again tomorrow.
 
It's good to hear you sounding content with the way things are going.

If you get to do waiting at work will you earn a lot more money, like your b/f?

I've been meaning to say something about the yoghurt you had the other day. Obviously it's not vital to eat it but if you actually liked it, it would be handy. I think it can make a lot of difference to get a brand and flavour that you find appealling. The consistency of the yoghurt varies a lot from brand to brand. The one I like most is Nestle Diet, because it's low fat and also has no added sugar. Obviously I don't know much about what is available to you. Some low fat flavoured yoghurt's have sugar added. Also, my husband and I both prefer apricot most, my son likes peach/yoghurt. Mostly we're not keen on strawberry because of all the seeds in it. So when you said you didn't like the "texture", maybe you would like it more just from having a different flavour, or a different brand. I don't think it's that good a food that you should force it down whether you like it not though!!

That amount of cold really boggles my brain. You know I see people on TV with bits of snow here and there but when I talk to people on here I get a different idea altogether of how the cold and snow dominates life while you're in it.

Have a good week! :)
