It's just so eeeeaaassssyyy to eat junk food. I have slipped into a pattern of eating for enjoyment and it's so hard to break. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement.

Have you considered renovating your fridge compartments and vowing to not eat out? It's a good start! Will the boyfriend support you? Is he fit?
 
Thanks y'all! My boyfriend is naturally skinny and has to eat a lot just to keep his weight normal. He loves ice cream and cookies, and unfortunately so do I. He's very encouraging and supportive though.

So I'm sick yet again....thought it was strep throat at first, but I've got a ton of congestion along with it. I'm on antibiotics and a decongestant. The good news is I've been eating really healthy for the past few days. Also, I got weighed at the doctor's office and I weigh about 10 pounds less than I did at the beginning of August. Crazy huh?
 
Hey Casey,

Sorry to hear your sick... I'm right there with you. I was really sneezy and gross yesterday and today my head feels like it's in a box....underwater.... I just have a major headache and think that the congestion has settled into my ears or something... If it gets any worse tomorrow or the next day I'm going to the doctor...

That's cool you've lost 10lbs since the beginning of August! When I get over this shit I'm sick with I'm jumping right back into exercise.

Thanks CG and Sam! It still feels like I have a looong way to go, but at least I know I've made significant progress. I'd like to lose about 20 more pounds.

I can't wait to get some exercise...I ran Tuesday morning but have been feeling awful since Tuesday afternoon. Maybe over the weekend I can work out a little. I just REALLY want to feel better!
 
Thanks! I'm just gonna chill and watch Animal Planet. Got winded just walking around campus today...I'm definintely not ready for an intense workout yet. I have been eating really healthy for the past few days though, and I think it's helped me get over this as quickly as I have. I hate being sick....have I made that clear? lol.
 
Ok, so my diary has been kinda dead lately but it's getting ready for a comeback! I've been eating great lately. This week is Homecoming so I've been really busy but I am planning on working out in a few hours. That's the part I'm having trouble with right now. I need motivation and I need something new and fun. I'm gonna get out all my Tae Bo dvds and start going to the fitness center on campus again. My stomach problems are getting a lot better. I quit drinking milk and eating ice cream and I cut down on my carbonated beverages. It's made a huge difference! More to come....
 
Great to see ya back. It sounds like you have a great plan of action. I'm trying to get my running mileage back up to where it was before I got sick... It's coming along though, so I'm happy.

-Sam
 
Go you is right! I plan on getting a run in tonite after work. I need to release a lot of stressful energy I feel is coursing through my veins. A few miles on the treadmill blaring my tunes should do the trick ;)

-Sam
 
Okay, I haven't updated in a long time, but I'm back, for the zillionth time, and trying this healthy-eating-and-exercise habits thing again. I'm not interested in losing weight (okay I sort of am), the important thing is I change eating from a fun and enjoyable pastime to a thing I do to survive and feel good. I also need consistent workouts, they don't have to be the toughest on the planet but I wanna work up a sweat. I'm using my Billy Bands again and I can definitely feel the soreness in my arms. I'm struggling...going through a lot of stuff, still fighting depression and anxiety. I can do this.
 
Glad to see you popped in Casey :)

Sorry to hear about the depression/anxiety your still battling. That is tough stuff. Just hang in there and take it day to day. That is what I'm telling myself nowadays, with all the upcoming stuff I'm stressing about.

I was running a lot again last week but this past weekend I kinda met someone :) So he has been taking up my time this week and I love it! I'll get back on the wagon as far as the running goes eventually.

Hope your having a great day!

-Sam
 
:iagree: I wish I could help more--know that life is beautiful and people love you, and the ultimate goal is happiness. If something's not working in your life, try to make a positive change. That's all I got :hug2:
 
CG- That's great advice. I am really going to try to apply it to my crazy life.

Sammy---you met someone! Ooh! Can't wait to read about it.

I didn't exercise yesterday, but I ate a healthy breakfast and lunch, and even though I went to a chinese buffet for dinner, I think I did okay. I had three pieces of chocolate last night as well...they were delicious! I wanted to eat the whole thing (12 chocolates) on Tuesday afternoon but I just had three and let my boyfriend sample them! lol.

I'm hoping to do some tae-bo tonight. I have a long day ahead of me, as usual. I packed my lunch and it's healthy, so at least I know I will feel good.
 
Good job on the restraint on the chocolate Casey! You did great. I had some yesterday too but I'm not worried about it because calorically it fit right in :)

Just breathe darlin' your doing great ;)

Take Care,
Sam
 
Thanks y'all. This encouragement is helping me a lot. I'm trying to figure out what to eat for dinner....fish and veggies, cereal, burritos, fruit, etc. Breakfast and lunch have been healthy...yay!

That's my problem...evening/nighttime eating. I feel like I deserve to eat what I want at night since I eat healthy during the day. This doesn't happen everyday, but it does on occasion. I know I need to work on that. I also need to get more exercise.

I quit eating ice cream and drinking milk. For some reason my body became lactose intolerant! Cheese doesn't bother me that much, but I don't eat that much of it anyway. Ice cream was one of my favorite foods but I am so glad my tummy has gone back to normal. Ice cream=laxative :(

I'm STILL selling old clothes on eBay...I didn't realize how much crap I had, lol. I got rid of my old American Eagle and A&F sweatshirts and some old sweaters. I love getting rid of my old stuff. It makes me feel accomplished. Plus, it's a good source of income.

Thanks again for the encouragement!
 
Blegh. I'm trying, you guys, and that's the important thing. I am going through so much right now...finishing my senior year of college, financial difficulties (temporary but still), and a few other personal things. I'm going to get out of this. I feel like I've forgotten who I am and what's important to me. I'm in a funk. I have made some decisions that have altered me. I want to run another half-marathon. I want to be healthy. I don't want to get out of breath from climbing stairs. So I'm going to work towards it, just like I always have.
