It's like I consider weekends to be different from weekdays, where eating wrll and working out isn't as important as it is on weekdays .. so weird. But that's changing and I'm so happy about today :)

I do the same thing! As long as it's working I don't think I will be able to change my mind set. I'm bad on the weekend and then really good during the week. I don't even think to keep a food journal sometimes and then it's harder getting back to it on Monday. You are doing so great! You must feel really good. Keep it up!

Love this attitude and YES you can totally do it! I just bought my first size 8 jeans on the weekend and it's a great feeling! You can do it - I believe!

I think I'm slowly getting better at it, but I don't think I will ever been able to eat as well or as many calories as I do during the week. At least not ALWAYS :). Thank you! I do feel soo great now that I'm back into regularly working out. I love the feeling! :D

WOO CONGRATS! I cannot WAIT to slide on a size 8 pair of jeans and have them fit perfectly!

So clearly I'm not the best when it comes to daily posting. I totally intend to, but by the time I actually have time to post, it's beyond late and I'm falling asleep! I do check in here during the day, mostly just creepin' around on peoples' journals :p I guess I'm just gonna have to start posting earlier in the day!

Yesterday was good. Started the second phase of my strength training program and I AM FEEELING IT today! I guess the previous phase didn't focus much on the backside, because today the back of my thighs, inner thigns, and bum are soo sore! I love it! Haha I love that sore feeling you get when you know you worked hard the day before :D I did 50 minutes of that and 30 minutes of cardio. Eating wasn't so good, though, I ate about 300 calories more than planned because I had two quesadilla pieces that just added extra calories. It's ok though, cause I had a nice workout.

TODAY

WORKOUT:
REST DAY

FOOD:
B: 2 c. Cheerios w/ skim milk and sugar
L: ham and cheese sub, orange
D: ham and swiss cheese flatbread from DD
S: 1.25 c. Life maple and brown sugar cereal w/ skim milk, 100 calorie Hostess cupcakes

Definitely need to get rid of some sugar, but I refuse to not treat myself! I let myself have one small sugary treat a day, providing it fits in with my daily calories, not extra. Tonight I bought 100 calorie Hostess cupcakes that are soo yummy and the perfect sweet snack. Plus, they have 5 grams of fiber! Also recently discovered the magic of oranges. OMG they are so delicious, accept peeling them haha. So good! And I decided to take a rest day today because I had absoultely ZERO time to workout. So today and Friday will be my rest days and for the rest of the week I will be ROCKIN' my workouts!

Night!
-D
 
Mmm, so last night wasn't so good. I came home from work and started working out, but halfway through I had to stop because I was feeling really sick and thought I was gonna thow up eww. I'm pretty sure it had to do with eating cookie dough while working out .. somehow I managed so grab a few spoonfuls of sugar cookie dough and eat it while I was in teh middle of exercising. TERRIBLE! Like, who does that?! Haha. Anyway, I woke up this morning with no appetite and even a few hours later, when my stomach was actually hungry, I just didn't want to eat anything. I had a poptart though, then around 3 I had a 100 calorie Hostess cupcake package, but after that I didn't eat til 10!

I went out with a few of my friends and we stopped at McDonalds on the way there, only my stomach was feeling too crappy to eat anything, so I waited til we were on our way home when my stomach was feeling better. We stopped at Wendy's, and I was feeling so hungry I got a small fry and jr. double cheeseburger! I usually get a kid's meal cause I'm not a huge fast food fan and it's less calories, but I didn't think that would satisfy me. Anyway, once I got home I had another 100 calorie Hostess cupcake package and was calling it quits for the night, ending around 1600 calories. Except then I got the idea to eat some crackers and peanut butter, so I did, even though I wasn't even huingry. Technically it's my "free" day, and what I ate would be considered ok, but I didn't eat spectacularly that week and I didn't think a "free" day had been earned. Oh well. No exercise either, as it was my day off, but I'm getting up and woring out for an hour before work tomorrow (actually, today)!

I really am sick of packaged foods because I eat them ALL THE TIME! I was reading some older copies of Shape magazine and found some meal plans in them that consisted of food I would actually want to eat and prefered over the processed food! I'm going to start eating more whole foods and fresh foods, and cut back waaaay on the processed food.

WORKOUT:
REST DAY

FOOD:
B: Chocolate poptart
S: 100 calorie Hostess cupcakes
D: Double cheeseburger (no mayo) and small fries
S: 100 calorie Hostess cupcakes, 8 crackers w/ PB

I seriously feel nauseaus just looking at what I ate today, blech! I missed my orange that I usually eat for lunch ): I'm having a hard time staying motivated, especially on days where I don't do so well, because all I can think about is how long it's gonna take to get rid of this weight! It feels like it's going to be forever, even though I know the time will fly by (like it already has!) and I can lose weight relatively fast when I workout and eat right. Gotta look at it one day/one week at a time, but it gets hard sometimes, like tonight :/ Looking forward to a fresh start tomorrow, though! I just want to sleep and drink tons of water and get all this crap out of my system!

Night!
-D
 
Didn't really workout at all this weekend :/ I was all ready Saturday morning to get up and workout, even woke up with my alarm clock, but then I was like, "Yeah, I'm just gonna sleep for another minute" and next thing I knew an hour had gone by and I had no time! Then Sunday I only did 50 min of strengh, no cardio :( Oops. Eating was ok, didn't go over 2000, if that. I did break down and get cheesy bread sticks, which are my weakness, and they were HEAVENNN. They kinda fit in with my calories (only going over some) so it's ok, just a little treat.

Today was much better, though! Eating was great until I came home and started munching on maple & brown sugar Life cereal! OMG it's delicious, but I can't stop eating it! Had two small bowls, plus I ate out of the box a bit. So because of my snacking, I had to get rid of my after-dinner snack ): Though that snack would've been unecessary because I didn't eat dinner til like, 1045! But exercise was great and everything else was good! Did have to throw away the rest of the cereal until I can learn to resist temptation better!

WORKOUT:
80 min cardio

FOOD:
B: 1 c. Egg Beaters, 100 calorie Yoplait yogurt
L: Ham and cheese sub, orange
S: 2 Twizzlers, some Life cereal plain then with skim milk, FiberOne bar, more Life cereal!
D: Pita pizza, broccoli

Also met my daily water target of 64 ounces :) Probably even went over some! So yeah, pretty good day!

Oh! And I went shopping today and bought a few things in MEDIUMS! Sure, the larges would've been ok, but the mediums fit so well, plus I'll be getting smaller so I might as well buy down! Got a tshit and zip-up sweater that I LOOVE! I got a long-sleeve shirt, but bought it in a large cause the fabric was strange. It's weird, I don't feel comfortable buying smaller sizes because I don't feel like my body has changed. I feel like something is seriously wrong with the sizing of the clothes I buy haha. I guess it's cause I'm scared that I['m still gonna be kind of fat, even when I get to a smaller size, and you won' be able to tell that I'm not as big as I look! Ahh, don't know if that made sense but it was bothering me so bad today! Annnd I bought a North Face jacket a few weeks ago and it is HUGE on me! Normally that would be good, but it was $165 and I can't return it now that I've worn it so much. Ughh, I can't imagine how it's gonna look when I'm even smaller. I'll be swimming in it! I bought a large cause my tiny friend had to buy a medium, so i figured it would be ok. But noppppe, way to big and I can't do anything about it! Same with a belt I spent a lot of money on a few weeks ago! There was only a large and small left, so I bought the large, but I'm already on the last notch so that will only be of use for a little longer >:O

Ah sorry for the rant, who knew losing weight could make you so pissed off?! Haha.

Night!
-D
 
Haven't posted in like, a month! Not really cause I've been super busy and just had no time, but I thought I'd decided to just abandon this journal, buuuut I decided against that idea and am going to revive it! It helps that I have a brand new laptop, so it no longer takes me 20 minutes to just get to this webiste! Which was very discouraging before. Back now, I need to STAY ACCOUNTABLE!

Soo, the holidays were BAD. TERRIBLE. I'm disgusted just thinking about how much I ate. I was bloated and felt disgusting that whoooole week, yet somehow I didn't gain a pound. Surprising, since I don't think I worked out that whole week and I ate and ate and ate waaay beyond being stuffed. Ugh. And NYE was a bad night also, waaay too many calories and no exercise, go figure! My weigh in is tomorrow so hopefully I didn't gain! Today was the first day I worked out, and I was on vacation this whole week with tons of time to exercise! Oh well, glad I started back up :)

WORKOUT:
55 min strength training

FOOD:
B: whole wheat waffles w/ spray butter, blueberries, and some sugar free syrup
S: VitaBrownie w/ 1/4 c. fat free vanilla ice cream
L: pita pizza
S: banana w/ PB
D: Lean Cuisinse mac and cheese, broccolli

Normally when I do strength training I always throw in half an hour of cardio, but I started this new workout tonight and my legs were like JELLLO! I couldn't bend done without nearly collapsing. Gonna be so sore tomorrow, but I love it! For now I'll just have to do the workout by itself with no cardio until I get stronger and can handle it :p I'm starting to do AM workouts again. I just want to get it out of the way so I don't have to worry about it. One hour in the AM, and maybe 30 min in the evenings. Now I just have to work on waking up at 5AM ): Did it last week, though!

Pretty proud of my eating today :) Yesterday was a disaster because I couldn't fight the urge to snack! It was all healthy snacks, though, at least til later on that night when I couldn't stop eating congo bar .. soooo good. But my days of being lazy and eating whatever looked good are done. Finally going back to my normal eating/exercise schedule tomorrow!

-D
 
WORKOUT:
50 min cardio

FOOD:
B: strawberry NutriGrain bar
L: ham and cheese sub
S: Kashi GoLean Crunch w/ skim milk, 100 cal Yoplait yogurt
D: mini cheese pizza - homemade
S: strawberries and blueberries w/ a little bit of sugar and whipped cream

WATER: about 50 ounces - need to get more before bed!

The AM workout did not go as planned today, as I could NOT fall asleep til 2AM! This past week I was so used to going to bed really late and waking up later (woke up at 11 on Sunday ..) so I was not tired at all. BUT I did my workout tonight instead. It's not that I don't like working out at night, but I always want to just relax and not worry about working out. Plus, I tend to find excuses to not workout at night, like tonight, and it's such a struggle to get up and exercise! AM workouts are b****, but once they're done it's like, phewww that's over! Hopefully I'll have more luck tomorrow.

Stayed at about 1500 calories today, which is pretty good. I want to eat 1400 calories a day, but leave 100 calories of leeway in case I eat a little more than planned. It's not like I didn't eat when I was not hungry, though. I didn't neeeed that fruit and whipped cream- mostly the whipped cream- but it was so yummmy! And I got my fruit in, so whatever haha. Celebrating my brother's birthday tomorrow which = CAKE AND ICE CREAM! I'm not gonna so no, but I AM going to just have a small serving of each :)

-D
 
WORKOUT:
REST DAY

FOOD:
B: Greek yogurt w/ Kashi GoLean Crunch, blueberries & strawberries
L: Baked Lays, half bag of cheddar Sun Chips, some Cheez-Its
S: Lindt chocolate, 2 mini butter cookies, cheese stick, 8 wheat crackers
D: steak tips, slice of bread w/ butter
Des: Slice of white cake w/ vanilla frosting, sugar free ice cream, thin slice of bread w/ butter

Didn't plan a rest ay today, but I wasn't able to workout this morning OR tonight ): Honestly, it's probably good thing since I'm SOO SORE from the new strength workout I started Saturday. I couldn't sit down without feeling it, let alone do the same workout for another hour! Yikes. Waking up in the AM to do it, though! I'm still sore but not nearly as bad.

Celebrated my bro's birthday today with, what else? Cake and ice cream. Usually afte dinner I'm like, "Ok, where's dessert?!" but tonight I was content with waiting until they were ready to serve it. I only had one slice and some ice cream- no seconds! Not even when I came home tonight and saw that we still had some left in the fridge. I did pick a few of those mini Oreos off of it, but I didn't eat them all. Sounds dumb, but there weren't many so I figured I'd eat them all, but I realized I wasn't hungry anymore and stopped! That kind of thing needs to continue :)
