Hey Shannon. Just thought I'd stop in and say hello
Seems like you keep very good track of your foods and calories you eat everyday, which I think is the perfect way to guarantee weight loss.
I read that you lost your mother to lung cancer in 2001. I also lost my mother to lung cancer in 2001, I was a bit older though, 18. Sorry to hear that. Very hard to go through.
-Sam
That's horrible to hear. I'm very sorry. Yeah it was very hard, as it would have been for you.
Thanks, sometimes I don't think they're completely accurate but it's the best to my knowledge.

Diet
Breakfast - Stoved rather than microwaved.
Oatmeal - 112 cals
One banana - 138 cals
1/2 glass of skim milk - 42 cals
Total: 292 cals
Lunch
Nothing. Very naughty of me. Was a very usy day.
Snacks
Go Natural Savoury Macadamia and Hazelnut - 237 cals
Go Natural Peach & Apple 100% Fruit Bar - 96 cals
One apple - 75 cals
Total: 408 cals
Dinner
Crabmeat - 350 cals
Salad (cucumber, lettuce, onion, carrot, tomato) - 110 cals
Total: 460 cals
Water
3+ litres
Grand Total: 1,276 cals (Arghh. Must have lunch tomorrow!)
Exercise
Used the other pedometer today, as well as a tighter belt for my shorts. I think when jogging that the steps were accurate. However my legs hurt a lot today, I need to remember to stretch before I go at it.
The pedometer steps and calorie count are a bit varied to the other pedometer, but close enough!

Since it's only about three days until I move back for university, I need to buy a food scale so I know the exact grams I am eating. I might get a digital one on eBay. Any suggestions?
Cheers guys,
Shannon

Tomorrow I am moving back to Bendigo for my second year of university, although I'll be home often still I'm somewhat down. I'm going to miss my routine path I have now.
On the plus side, I get to make my own foods, I might be joining a gym, going away and not seeing many people for awhile motivates me 100% to make them proud and I will be buying a food scale.
Still, tomorrow and the rest of this week is going to be a bitch with moving, buying a new bed etc.
Diet
Breakfast - Stoved rather than microwaved, as well as the banana today to make a fantastic thick paste. So nice.
Oatmeal - 112 cals
One banana - 138 cals
1/2 glass of skim milk - 42 cals

Roast Turkey slices - 230 cals
Roast Pork slices - 230 cals

-Questions on gym equipment (and its use) and frequency

Hi Shannon
I have just been catching up on you since I last visited.
You have lost loads of weight with quite a few new lows and done really well.
I am sorry that you have been having problems with your pedometer. It is really annoying when they dont work for one reason or another. It is silly really because your body knows how many steps you have done and you get the weight loss either way - but I still like to know the number too.
I enjoyed reading about your night out where you were dancing and flirting and being flirted with. Even at my advanced age - I can remember such times fondly. It is no surprise that your confidence has increased as you have lost weight - you have lost quite a lot of weight in only a short time. Also healthiness carries it's own glow. I can easily imagine that the girls will be paying you more attention and that you will enjoy that. Wait until the girls at university see the new you.
I cannot help you with advice regarding kitchen scales. Mine are just cheap analogue ones. I often dont use them because I rarely count my calories - I just like to stick to a healthy diet and believe that the rest kind of follows. Things like fruit and veg are pretty low in calories.
Good luck on the move back.
Take care
Best wishes
Margaret

Moved to Bendigo on Monday, it was a hectic day and I haven't developed a new walk/jog or organised a gym. One step at a time, and my diet was pretty good today, even though I had to cook for myself.
Had to buy all my food today too, so that was fun.

Hi Shannon
I think that you have done well to stay seamlessly on track in different surroundings. You dont need me to tell you what to do to improve things from your most recent diary posting - you identified the areas for attention for yourself.
I am sure that you will quickly get used to making your own food.
Good steps for a day when you couldnt go out walking. Pedometers are good because they can make you feel good about your exercise level on that kind of day if you make sure that you stay active.
I am sure that there will be plenty of people in Bendigo that are surprised to see the new slimmer you. Have fun surprising them (especially the nice girls!).
Take care

Haha, thanks Margaret.
Today I went on a brief power walk/jog, there is a dam near my new house which has an endless one-way bike track, and subsequently, used for power walkers and joggers too.
I went for about 40 mins to gain a new routine and know my surroundings, and the route I have devleoped was rather different to the one in Swan Hill (hometown).
Swan Hill: Walk/jog around residential areas with many corners and different sceneries, often bumping into people.
Bendigo: One long track with similar scenery, not knowing anyone.
I like both and I like the fact that they are different so I will not end up bored.
(I will be in Swan Hill quite a bit so the Swan Hill route is here to stay!)

Exercise
Once again very active today, with both the normal and power walking. I walked around the city shopping for things such as a bed. I then went power walking/jogging around a dam near by my house, which has what appears to be (so far) an endless bicycle track, which is indeed also used for walking, jogging and running.

I got my first pedometer working again, and I came to the conclusion I like the first one better when it comes to walking and step counts, but the second one is much more accurate with jogging.
This might seem insane but from now on I plan to have one for casual walking and the other for power walking/jogging.
I plan to research a gym sometime in the near future. We have weights/dumbbells at this house but I haven't used them yet, will do so soon though.

I'm proud that the fact my food intake has been mostly on track since moving to Bendigo, but my exercise the last two days has been poor. I guess I'm just trying to settle in and I'm somewhat nervous about making this route a regular routine. Sigh.
I had some vegetable oil to cook the spaghetti beef easier, was this wrong?
I also feel like I'm entering a plateau, but it's too early for that!

Hi Shannon
The picture is great and you are doing so brilliantly. Well done!
I very rarely use oil these days. Even though you are supposed to use it with pasta - I never do and people rarely notice - try it without.
As far as any frying goes (with includes browning meat to seal) I use a spray called fry light. I am sure that you will be able to get a similar product there. Basically a few squirts is enough to even do a stir fry. There is only 1 cal in a squirt so it gives the opportunity to save quite a few calories. Look out for aerosol cans near the oil in the large supermarket.
Have fun in Swan Hill.
Take care
Best wishes
Margaret

Hi Margaret!
Thanks for the compliment, I'd be lying if the picture is a bit of a pose though so makes me look better than I actually do.
The oil with the mince meat?
Fry light, alright I'll look out for it. Cheers for that.
I had a great time in Swan Hill, perhaps too great. As will be seen below.

It's been a hectic few days, now going back to university. And moving. My exercise has just been lackluster.

Much better. I feel like today I've finally settled in to both the moving and the university aspect and allowing me to feel more comfortable in this town.
I started off today with a new low, 83.3kg. Whooo!

Jogging
I went on the Bendigo route today, a consistent jog/power walk down a bike track. The plan was to go to the supermarket which was about 4km, but I got lost. I've worked out my entire route, back and forth in the process of getting lost, though.
Originally I thought one pedometer was better for walking and the other was better for jogging. But it seems this was not to be the case. The jogging pedometer is not only inaccurate with jogging, but also inaccurate with walking. So the following figures I don't agree with, and will go back to the original pedometer tomorrow.
Steps: 6,400

Dumbells
I started using the dumbells in Bendigo today, doing 20 in each arm.
Face exercises
I read on the forum about sitting your head on your shoulders and moving your jaw up and down helps the jaw muscles and thus reduces the double chin, I did about 100 of these.
What a good day, comments would be awesome to see how I'm going!
