Casey's Diary!

Breakfast:
2 cups Kashi Healthy Heart
0.5 cups soymilk

Lunch:
1 large whole wheat bagel with apple jelly
1 apple
1 serving mixed nuts

Snack:
1 box raisins

Dinner:
wheat pasta with sauteed vegetables cooked in soy, sweet and sour, and stir-fry sauce (yummy!!!)

Exercise:
Ran 3.5 miles- decent pace (probably 10 minute miles)

Had a little bit of stomach discomfort again while running. Probably because I downed a glass of water a few minutes before leaving. I had another good day, and that's definitely something to be happy about. I even started brainstorming for a paper that's due after the break--hopefully it will be written and finished 24 hours from now.

Here's a tip of advice to the men reading this diary (all two of you): DO NOT WHISTLE, YELL, OR HONK AT A FEMALE WHO IS RUNNING OR WALKING DOWN THE ROAD. It is uncalled for and disrespectful. It is NOT a compliment. I have had problems with this the last few days. I hate it!
 
After dinner a friend called and we went out....

Snack:
1 serving tortilla chips
0.5 cups salsa
1 virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

Not great but I could have done worse. Oh well.
 
So...I'm thinking about asking my boyfriend to let me train with him after Spring Break. He lifts 2 to 3 days a week. I am going to try it out. I am not looking forward to it, but it might be something I enjoy. I feel like I need to do this to reach my physical peak and it might accelerate the journey to my goals.

Good for you! Steve posted an article that might help with your insecurities:
 
I read the article...I didn't like it that much. It did have good information though, I just wish it would have been presented differently. I could go on but I don't want to bore anybody.
 
Lift those weights!

TRUST ME

It will excellerate fat loss. It worked for me when I was 19, and it's working for me now. Lift for 2 hours a weeks (1 hour/day, 2xs week, as heavy as you can). It will suck at first, then you feel high as endorphins kick in. Also, it gives you amazing energy! :)
 
Big, red, all caps letters? You must be serious! haha.
I will give it a go. My boyfriend is going to be so excited...he's been trying to get me to lift with him for quite awhile.
 
Weight lifting is important for women because it helps maintain bone mass preventing osteoperosis. I read that somewhere credible, I swear...lol. Also, the more muscle you have the more cals you burn when you work out so if you do cardio and you don't build muscle you still burn, but the more muscle you have the more you burn during cardio. It balances out. That being said, under my fat...somewhere...I have great muscles...lol. Give it a go, you'll thank yourself when your 60 and you fall down and don't break your hip.
 
Horrible eating day. Caved into strong chocolate cravings. Stressed about school. Worried about boyfriend's car. I have a horrible headache and feel like crap. I'm tired of depriving myself to the point that I act out like this. I don't want to go back to Martin tomorrow. UGGGHHHH.

So sorry!

I just drank my second glass of chocolate soymilk to tide over my cravings...I'm bearing with it but I WANT to eat more....I'm emo and grumpy. My co-workers appear mean to me (could be my imagination).

Don't depriive yourself! If you eat too little you won't lose weight and you'll binge... STAY STRONG!
 
I don't understand why I can't just have one little bit of sugar and be okay...I always want more. That stupid virgin daiquiri last night just made me want more and more sugar. As soon as I let myself have that one little treat, I go overboard.

I know what you talkin' bout--buy and read Food & Mood, Second Edition $20 Borders--best 20 bucks I ever spent! (maybe)
 
Breakfast:
1 bowl cinnamon oatmeal
1.5 cups chocolate soymilk

Lunch:
1 slice vegan pizza

Snacks:
1 Weight watchers ice cream bar
1 Blue bunny ice cream bar
2 slim fast bars

Dinner:
2 cups whole wheat pasta w/tomato sauce
1 slice french bread w/margarine

Crappy day. Tomorrow will be better. Boyfriend is very excited about his new workout partner (me!). I hope everything goes okay.
 
Thank you...I ate everything chocolatey in the house...good thing there wasn't that much! And the slim fast stuff had some vitamins in it.

Well...I was going to write two papers while I was home for Spring Break. I wrote one paragraph for one paper. At least it was the intro paragraph, which is the hardest. So I'm looking forward to plenty of schoolwork when I get back tomorrow. I am going to try to run in the morning before heading back.

My boyfriend's fraternity formal is coming up next month...I would love to buy a size 8 dress. I'm not sure if I'll get there or not. At least now I know I won't have to buy a 12! I haven't lost a pound in awhile. It worries me a little but I know I will get there eventually.
 
After Dinner:
1 cup wheat pasta
1 cup sauteed vegetables with soy sauce, sweet and sour, and stir fry sauce

I was talking to my boyfriend about this and wanted to share it here. I was wondering how far back people's body image issues went. I have always hated my legs. I remember being in second grade and noticing that my legs were chubbier than everybody else's legs. I remember after my second dance recital (I was eight years old) watching the tape of my dance and thinking my legs looked too big.

My boyfriend says he loves my legs how they are. I appreciate his kind words, but sometimes I think, how could he? I have nice calves, but from the knees-up it just looks like a disaster. Cellulite. FAT. I'm so sick of being self-conscious about it.
 
I feel better today. Mood swings are a killer, especially when they are sugar-induced. I'm back at college and fixing to pick up some fruits and veggies!
