well, i kinda went a bit crzy yesterday night--i did my soup + salad for 400 then i had like 2 cups of OJ and about a third of an entire roll of french bread dipped into hummas-dont know where to start with the calories for that...600? this will definitely work against the christmas challenge, maybe i can pump it up today at the gym and cut down a bit for dinner...
so...new strategy-the past three days i have munched on something late at night-i just cant resist! it's like my will power is perfect up until i finish dinner (well like 3 hrs after), then i get stupid. what do you guys think about eating dinner at like 9pm? since my will power is so great after work, but not at latenight-I should just eat the calories that are alloted to me for the afternoon then-but i usually go to bed at midnight--wow i just realized that is definitely too late (i wake up at 7:30).
p.s.-my body is still sore from yoga-i had a very nice soak yesterday but it didnt help that much-still did my 460 calories on the elliptical yesterday too
______________
food for today:
lunch @ a mtg. 2day:
1cup beef w/ broccoli (165)
1cup steamed rice (380)
dinner: salad?

How long are you on that ellptical thing anyway? I just started and did 20 mins! That is a killer for me! And doing yoga too! Have agood day. I don't know about eating at 9,I try to eat at around 5-5:30 and not eat again. But that don't always work either!

i bought an mp3 player to help me stay on the machine longer and be more motivated to go 2 the gym. i can download and watch tv shows on it and workout =-) so i usually stay on it for 40 mins =-) but i wanted 2 get out earlier yesterday so i only went on for 30, but upped the intensity so i lost about the same calories as if i was there for 40.
i know, i used to be able to do 1 hr of cardio then go take a spin class afterwards...but thats a lil crzy... my new goal is 2 do about 400-500 cals on the elliptical then yoga every other day. mainly because yoga brings me relaxation and will also help me reach my goal faster!
to tell ya the truth my mother just called me and told me that i'm going 2 the family christmas party--more pressure to lose the weight. i think eating my dinner late will be the only way to save me from overeating EVERY SINGLE FRIGGIN DAY! i am so mad at myself! need to find something that works ! i feel like i'm falling behind!

Hi there!
The yoga was really intense, eh??? I definitely think you should continue to do it, maybe not everyday, but as often as you can. If its hurting then it means its working. I tried doing a pilates tape I have, YEAH RIGHT!!! It looked easy, but getting my big ass into the positions, and STAYING in them was a joke. lol.
You're doing great, and I know you'll look good in that bathing suit.
I definitely know what you mean about falling behind, as you know, you seen my diary. We just gotta stick with it... its SO hard, but we are stronger!!

doing pretty well today, must remember to keep off of the food binges later 2nite...down to 159 this week...determined to see 157 or 156 next time i weigh in for the challenge! i'm going to go to yoga on sat, and then next week up the yoga to every day (couldnt do that this week...i'm way too sore!) that should help with the loss =-)
anyways, the christmas challenge is helping, and the fact that i want to look good in front of my relatives is another huge help, and the larger goal of fitting into a bathing suit without boy shorts will be the ultimate goal for spring! i am going shopping for the bikini maybe next month ...
____________
food so far:
rest of chinese food from mtg yesterday : 600cals
cookies @ work: 100
___________
dinner: soup + salad= 300
work out will be ellpitical again tonight
wish me luck on the weekend, i will try to post on sat and sun, something i dont regularly do, but i want to be good this weekend

I was just reading the first page of your diary. I too have kept all my smaller sized pants, that shows that we will never surrender!! lol
Had a friend who gave away all her small pants, I couldn't understand it. Last time I lost weight I gave away all my fat pants, can't wait to do it again.
Thanks for stopping by my diary, it looks like you are now in the 150s! That's so great, I can't wait to be there too.
Keep up the good work sista! You can do it!

I've always wanted one, but too ashamed for a stranger to look at my body, and massage it for that matter. Maybe I'll get it as a treat for when I lose weight.
Distract yourself? Drink lots of water? Um.. chew gum, eat a few almonds (they help the cravings go away), keep telling yourself no. I know its hard, but just try different things and see what's best for you...

so i know exactly why i eat so late at night and do the mini binge thing. its because no matter how amazing a day i'm having i think that food will make thing much better. that internally i am not satisfied with my day or myself if i dont eat. and on those days when i am feeling guilty about anything i end up eating. i know that this is so common, but how do you stop? how do you try to shut it down? i have been trying to replace the healthy food with the bad food so late, but i want to know how to start to shut the damned feelings associated with not eating down.
then maybe i'll have a real shot at being at the goal i want to. does it involve just physically and emotionally tying my hand behind my back or what?!
ps- i have had a few days where i stayed away from the fridge but i ended the days usually mad- does changing involve like a week long process of putting the immature baby that cries for food to sleep early? in other words how do you guys do it? and how can i stop.

mmm, chili's. I love their southwestern eggrolls and chicken quesadillas. Yum! Chocolate biscotti? whoo hoo! At least you are honest.
I wish I had some advice on how to curb the late night snacking, because I know, oh to well, how it is to want to eat at 9 and 10pm.
I think it takes sure willpower to avoid late snacking, and also avoiding the kitchen. I find if I go to bed early too, that helps. lol
Also too, I find that it helps me to avoid sugar, so my blood sugar levels are stable. It's the sugary, and not so good carby foods that will get me swinging every which way, and will at times make me hungry, even after I just ate.
Perhaps a lower carb dinner? Let me know if you get any good advice, because I think it's a great question.

well, update on eating: last night was very good, i wasnt hungry so i just didnt eat. that was the first night in a long time that i havent had a before bedtime snacking (healthy or unhealthy). so i jumped on the scale this morning thinking that it would make a difference-boy was that dumb! it was the exact same weight as the day before-DUH! Wat did i think was going to happen...?!
well-this weeks goals are to:
1) go to yoga every day
2) do between a 400-500 calorie burn on the elliptical after
3) eat only the portioned amount of food for dinner and nothin more!
4) get to bed as early as possible so that my body can recoup (aka not as much tv at night!!!)
I need to make myself realize that going to sleep early doesnt mean i have wasted my day-more like i've gotten the best out of it!
