Thanks guys. Man on man, I don't feel well right now. I am like ADDICTED to yogurt and frozen raspberries and it's so low calorie I find myself eating multiple HUGE bowls of it a day. Today it caught up with me. I got home around 5:30 today and before 7:15 I had 2.5 huge bowls of yogurt and raspberries, sweet potato fries and dip, and shrimp with sauce. WAY too much food in such a short period of time and I still have calories left!! My stomach feels so bad, I won't even make it to my class tonight as I think I would puke if I had to move... at all.
 
So I made my pizza muffins last night intending to have a couple to get a bit closer to 1500, instead I had SIX!! Whoops haha. Was about 200 over. Eating well today AND I went to the gym AND I did a full upper body weight lifting workout! Yay!!!
 
Your weight seems to be inching down nicely. Are you feeling better physically because of the increased fitness?
 
Thanks guys.

In all honesty, no, I don't feel a great deal of difference from working out. I was hoping I would when I took the stairs a week or so back. I thought 'ok, this should be so much easier now that I have been doing cardio for 2 months or so'. I was just as dead reaching the top as ever, haha. I think partly it might have to do with how I am eating. I am eating lower calories but it isn't as healthy as I know it should be. I probably need more protein and more vegetables.
 
It might just be because you're young and you already feel about as good as you're ever gonna. :biggrin:


All I know is that even after just a month I felt like a zillion times better. Of course I was in such dire straits that probably had a lot to do with it too.
 
Haha.

Bad day today, had just under 2200 calories and no exercise as I was driving around all afternoon/evening checking out barns. Le sigh. Gotta do better! Too much slipping, which could lead to me falling... off the band wagon! Can NOT happen!
 
Ack, don't fall off! You're at the halfway point, 20 more lbs shouldn't be too tough! Next time you think about ODing on yogurt or driving around, remember what it felt like to look at your scale when you first saw the weight go down - don't you love that feeling? Isn't it worth sticking to it?
 
Thanks Little John. I am definitely pushing hard to stay on the wagon, I have just allowed myself to be too slack in going over by a bit here and there. THen I think, well I am already over so what does it matter if I add another 100 calories and I really need to stop.


Today I solemnly swear to stay within my calorie budget of 1500, AND to go to the gym and do lower leg workout and half an hour cardio.

Signed,

Haha Mystic- that's exactly how my mind works sometimes which is terrible! I've already over-eaten, why not just keep going? Which of course makes NO sense at all. I'm SO aiming for that perfect week this week, I'm DETERMINED!
 
I know isn't it terrible!!


Well my promise didn't pan out like I'd hoped. Today was going great but I am currently looking for a new barn to ride at. That's why I was so busy last night, then I had to ride today THEN went to look at yet another barn. There wasn't enough time between riding and going to see the other barn to go home for supper so I had to eat out. I forgot my phone in the vehicle so couldn't look up the calorie count while ordering. After I ordered I went and grabbed it and looked up the calories and my order ended up being 1080 calories!! I couldn't believe it. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, so I ended up only eating the meat not the bun so hoping the calories came down to 700-800. But that little bit of meat was not at all filling. I just got home and am absolutely starved!! I am probably gonna be over by about 200. :(

And since I got home so late after such a busy day, I won't make it to the gym. Luckily, I have an easy day at work tomorrow so though it's normally a day off for me workout wise, I am going to be going to the gym.

I am ok with today, some things you can't always help and these haven't been normal days for me so it's harder to get things done the way I want.
 
Thanks.

So I weighed in this morning and actually had a loss! Yay! Not a big loss by any means but a loss all the same AND I am officially past the half way point! Lost 0.8 pounds this week. For the first time though I most likely won't reach my mini goal on time. Oops


Starting Weight: 168lb (Original Weight from a few years ago, my heaviest)

Current Weight: 147.8lb

Mini Goal: 155lb by October 27th *MADE MINI GOAL Oct 19th*

Mini Goal: 150 lb by November 15th *MADE MINI GOAL Nov 9th*

New Mini Goal: 145 By Dec 7th

Final Goal: 128lb
 
Hey, 0.8 pounds a week is quite good at your smallish size. Just think in two years at that rate you'll be down to 64.6 pounds!


As for the mini goal, you never know. Sometimes it goes slow, slow, slow, fast.
 
Thanks, tho unfortunately with my great maths skills I just realized I only lost 0.6 pounds, not 0.8. Oh well. a loss on a bad week is still a loss, rather than a gain or even staying the same.
 
Did ok today. Did 30 mins on the treadmill, 2.77 miles. Then did leg workout. Oh MAN! I am gonna be sore tomorrow. I think I might have slightly pulled my hamstrings, I felt them right after my first set and they still feel weird. Took an advil so hopefully they won't be so bad tomorrow. It was a tough go to get myself to the gym so I was happy I did it and did it with gusto when I got there.

Ate fairly good today. I was 100 over which was not necessary as it was again a yogurt overdose, but it was better than I have been the last few days. I just finished making pizza muffins for lunches and such for the next couple days. I know it's gonna be tough for me not to eat them tonight yet, but I can do it (and yes I am baking at 11:30 at night, haha)
 
Uh oh, think I am getting sick!! My throat is sore and very flemmy. Not sure if I should workout, cause I might make myself sicker THEN it will take longer to get better again, which will put me even further behind. But I have been bad/lazy this week and only made it to the gym/workout twice so maybe I am just looking for a reason not to go. Arg! I think instead of going to the gym first I will go to the barn first then see what I feel like when I get back.

Yesterday I was a bit over my calories but yesterday was my cheat meal of the week. If I had been more thoughtful during the day I could have kept pretty much to my calories, so that was too bad but was under 300 calories over my 1500 calories, which isn't soo bad.
 
Number one rule is take care of yourself. Sore throats are kind of the worst because you tend to feel them long after whatever bug it is that caused them. Your soups should serve you well though.
 
I just hope this isn't gonna stick around long, though my laziness and slipping this week seems to be sticking around. I did have a major binge this weekend like past weekends however I was over every single day. Over today by about 250 calories. Grr! Gotta stop!
 
Wah, ate another big bowl of yogurt! Why can't I stop. This is seriously bad and I REFUSE to fall off the wagon, but I am very scared now at my lack of control and getting lazy with the gym!
