Run, 6mph, 5:00
Sprint, 8.5mph, 1:00

I have been exhausted since I finished this workout. I am SO proud of myself! And a little sore, but oh well. I'm hoping to swim some laps tomorrow.

Yesterday

Breakfast:
1.5 cup Kashi Heart to Heart
1.5 cup soymilk

Lunch:
2 pieces vegan pizza-crust with tomato sauce, mushrooms, yellow and red peppers, soy cheese
1 banana
1 serving wheat thins

Dinner:
1.5 cup Kashi Heart to Heart
0.5 cups chocolate soymilk
1 cup vanilla soymilk
1 serving mixed nuts
1 Fiber One bar

Snack:
LOTS of wheat thins (prob. 4 servings)

Exercise:
Ran, 30 minutes, 3 miles

So I went a little overboard with the Wheat Thins yesterday. I thought I could control myself around them, but I am not sure that will be possible. Oh well, today will be better.
 
Well, the rest of the Wheat Thins are gone. I thought I could control myself this time. I have to have a food with some health benefit but not incredibly nutrient-dense each day---just because it's yummy. Fiber One bars are really delicious and have fiber, protein, and calcium in them but a ton of ingredients. Wheat thins have some irons and complex carbs, but once I open the box...I can't stop. Well I could if I had a gun to my head, but I don't want to stop. I guess I need to stick to the bar variety because a single serving is wrapped individually. I feel kind of down about the Wheat Thins but I learned from the experience. The good thing is I have been exercising a lot lately. I am going to try to do another speed workout tomorrow night, swim on Friday, and go for a trail run this weekend (I'm going on retreat with my sorority sisters). I took a pic of myself last night and compared it to a pic I took when i weighed 153...there is a HUGE difference. My hips have gotten smaller. I must be at least 150, maybe 149 by now. I haven't weighed myself in awhile. I bought a scale, but it's rather crappy. More later.

Just read the last several pages of your diary. Congratulations on all your progress and running free, and your boyfriend sounds really nice and you're doing great. This forum is indispensable but YOU have done the work. Have fun with your miniskirt!
 
Breakfast:
1.5 cup Kashi Heart to Heart
1.5 cup vanilla soymilk

Lunch:
2 Boca chicken patties
LOTS of Wheat Thins (4 servings?)

Snacks:
1 Fiber One bar
1 serving mixed nuts
1 cup apple juice
5 pieces dark chocolate

Dinner:
Mexican- 5 tortillas, grilled vegetables with beans and rice

Exercise:
25 mins-lap swimming (freestyle, sidestroke, breaststroke)

Terrible day. I have worked too hard to do this. Tomorrow WILL be better.
 
This weekend I will be going on retreat with my sorority sisters...I won't be able to have as much control over my food choices. My sisters were considerate enough to call me and ask what I wanted to eat over the weekend, which was really nice. I'm hoping there will be enough fruits and veggies. This is going to sound harsh, but a lot of my sorority sisters are overweight and I'm guessing they aren't going to choose the healthiest foods to bring along for the retreat. I'm definitely taking my multivitamin, fiber one bars, and maybe a few other goodies. I'm still going to try to eat healthy. I'm afraid the other sisters will view retreat as a time to pig out (since it's kind of a vacation) and I hope I won't feel tempted to do the same. This week has definitely not been a good one for me food-wise so I really want a successful weekend. I would really rather have more control over my food than this. I guess I'm just a little obsessive about stuff like that.

i have gotten to be this way too. lots of times i feel like i am burdening others by not eating what's offered, but i'm not willing to sabotage myself. the way i see it, those who truly care about me will be rooting for my success and won't mind!

have a happy friday!

:)

I totally understand. Tensions can arise when one person is trying to lose weight and the people around her are not, and may need to. Also, it's well-studied: women tend to consume more in social situations, especially with girl friends. Stay strong--I'm sure you're do fine. I'm a bit nervous myself because I'm going to visit my buddy in San Luis Obispo--and I plan on eting out, visiting a brew-pub or two, and wine tasting! Ack! :eek: Wish me luck ;)
