Casey's Diary, Part Deux!

Awww, Casey :hug2: I wish you the best, you have a LOT to deal with. I think your healthy decisions one step at a time is a good idea--quitting the dairy, trying to exercise, trying not to late night snack--all those will add up. And I know it's hard, with stress and school. But life is hard. You can deal with it in the best way possible, I know you can--but it takes discipline and suffering through discomfort. LOL, that's what I learned in Ashtanga Yoga! Discipline and suffering through discomfort to get to the "other side," a more positive outlook or more healthy or fit body :) I wish you the best in suffering through your funk :beating:
 
Thanks CG...things are getting better. I'm trying to spend more time with friends and reaching out more. I'm going to start going to counseling every week.

I worked out Monday...two miles on the treadmill (hill setting at 5.6mph) followed by 15 minutes on the elliptical. I had the hardest time getting my heart rate down! I was trying to go slow on the elliptical because I was around 180bpm, but even at 4 mph my heart rate wouldn't go down. It kind of worries me, but I guess I just need to get in better shape. I didn't work out yesterday, but I ate healthily, did some housework, and did a lot of schoolwork, so I think I still had a good day.

This evening I'm planning on doing Tae-Bo. I often tell myself I will do it just to blow it off, that needs to stop!!! I know my body will get stronger and sexier if I just make myself do it. It's fun and challenging, but I still would rather snuggle under a blanket. Oh well!

I've been eating some cookies (Clint got Chips Ahoy), but I only eat one serving a day. That's 2 cookies! It's hard to stop at two, but I make myself and I'm proud. There's ice cream in the house as well but it upsets my stomach so much that I just stay away from it.

So things are slowly looking up. I still have a lot of work to do but I will get there.
 
:hurray: This is all good news.

I think I need counseling when it comes time for me to suffer PMS ;)

Gold stars for stopping at 2 cookies--I may be a workoutaholic, but I'm also a Cookie Monster ;)
 
So I did Tae-Bo last night! GO ME! I also packed clothes to work out in the fitness center this afternoon. GO ME! I'm getting back on the wagon! Feeling good and looking good. Breafkast was mini-wheats with chocolate soymilk and lunch was a tuna sandwich with honey mustard, 100 cal pack of Hostess cupcakes, fiber selects wheat thins, and a large orange. I am probably gonna have some junk food today...two halloween parties this evening, one for my job and another for my scholarship organization. Yum yum! I also have to bake cookies this evening for a bake sale, and I'm going to try really hard not to eat a bunch of dough. IMO, the dough is so much more delicious than the cookies.
 
:party: GO CASEY!!!! :party:​

Hmmmm, try to remember that cookie dough is sugar and fat. Don't view it as delicious food, but more like "why would I want to eat this, I kick ass and this is an obstacle to my goals." A little is fine, but yeah--temptation sucks! A helpful mentality might steer you clear of over-doing it. HUGS!
 
Great job at the positive choices you made today! Your making great strides at getting back on the wagon. Have fun at your Halloween Partays!!!

:party:


Take Care,
Sam
 
Thx y'all! I worked out this afternoon, just like I said I would. 20 minute hill workout at 5.7mph on the treadmill, followed by 15 mins on the elliptical. Great workout! And I didn't have to worry about baking cookies after all.....I left them at Walmart! I paid for 4 rolls of cookie dough and forgot them! UGH. Oh well, one less thing to do. At my Halloween parties today I had 1 cupcake and 2 cookies...I think that's pretty good...you should have seen these spreads of junk food! It was nuts.
 
Weekend went well for me...I did my hour-long Tae Bo workout with resistance bands yesterday. I can definitely feel the soreness starting. I packed gym clothes for after work today, too. I'm proud of myself! I worked out four times last week and I'm hoping to do at least that much this week. My diet isn't perfect, but I am trying to be more moderate about my portions and stuff. So...I'm doing a lot better!
 
Had a terrible night Monday. Got depressed for no reason, then starting fighting with my boyfriend. Got extremely angry. Sometimes I feel like this medicine isn't helping at all. BUT, I have been feeling much better the rest of the week. I ran 2 miles today. I wanted to go 3, but I'm just not ready yet. It's ok, I will be soon!

Food choices have been pretty decent lately. I'm just happy I didn't over-do it for Halloween. I ate out Monday and Tuesday, and my body just isn't used to heavy food anymore! I had bloating, gas, constipation, etc. Finally got relief yesterday!

School is going well. I graduate from college in six months!
 
Okay, so it's been awhile since I updated everyone. I'm doing a lot better. The past few weeks I have been more careful with what I eat and the portions. Thanksgiving was great---l did well that day. All the veggies upset my tummy, though. I'm doing TaeBo and using resistance bands 2-3 times a week. I'm trying to get healthy again...leaner, less cellulite on my legs. No specific size or goal in mind. No tape measure or scale either. I finally feel like I'm approaching this the right way. Hopefully I will be successful. I will do better posting on the WLF and keeping my diary updated...it seems to help me.
 
Hey Casey. Long time no see! I dropped off the WLF diary and all and gained about 25lbs. So yeah, you're right the forums help. I'm back again, working on losing that and then some. Hope to be talking to you more often. Take care!
