Getting back in the swing of things...

Well I got through my first DDC workout!! It felt sooo good when I was done, I was very proud of myself when I completed the whole hour. I rewarded myself with a little time in the sauna afterwards :) Food today is looking really good to, I decided that it'll be easier for me to log in my food at the end of the day rather than log it in each time I eat it, so that's what I'll do from now on :) I hope everything is having a happy and healthy day :)
 
Thanks Trying Again. I am feeling much much better, in fact when I started working out I immediately felt better, which I was very happy about. Here is my food for the day!

Breakfast: 1 packet of apples and cinnamon oatmeal with 1% milk, blueberries, and 1 cup of green tea (150 cal)

Snack: a couple tablespoons of mixed nuts (I'm gonna say 200 cal)

Other snack: 1 piece of pineapple (I didn't have a real lunch because I knew what we were having for dinner tonight)

Dinner: Homeade manacotti with green beans and a piece of garlic bread (Ok the manacotti is VERY sinful but SO GOOD, it's made with lean beef, sausage, mayonnaise, cottage cheese, and mozzarella, stuffed into manacotti shells. I don't feel to guilty about it because I saved myself for it, and I got alot of exercise today, so I feel good :)

Have a wonderful night!
 
Hey everyone! Well I didn't make it to the gym today, a friend of my dads is staying with us for a couple days (hence the homeade Manicotti last night) so we had a nice breakfast together and were going out to Costco pretty soon. I'll do a full body workout tomorrow to make up for not going today. Have a nice day ya'll!
 
I think it's great that you are able to keep a positive attitude despite not being able to workout. I'm not like that. LOL
 
Trying Again, I never use to be like that either LOL. But this time around I'm just trying to keep a positive attitude about everything, even when I "slip up" a little. Part of the reason why I always binged before was because every time I couldn't work out and every time I "slipped up" I immediately went into panic mode and thought "screw it, I'm eating what I want". But this time I am not going to do that, I can't imagine going back to my old ways. Anywho, here is my food for the way

Breakfast/lunch: 1 piece of oatnut bread with scrambled eggs on it, salsa, 1 cup of 1% milk

Snack: 1 banana

Dinner: prime rib sandwhich on a sandwhich roll, toasted with smart balance butter and garlic, small side salad with onions, carrots, and a little blue cheese dressing, 1 cup of 1% milk

Total: approx: 1,150 cals

I know that I should be eating more cals than this but I'm perfectly full at the amount of food I'm eating now, ughhh this loosing weight stuff can be quite confusing!!

Have a wonderful night ya'll ;):seeya:
 
OMG that is EXACTLY what my frame of mind usually is! LOL Yesterday I was having a rather hard day emotionally and so I ate whatever. Oh well.

Good on the food choices! Keep up the amazing work! :hurray:
 
Cybermama: Since last week I've lost a couple pounds, but this week I really hope to loose more! Thanks for commenting in my journal!

I've noticed that what I eat is really high in carbohydrates, so I'm thinking maybe if I reduced carbs a little bit I'd see some faster results? I'm not talking about good carbs like fruits and veggies and whole grain stuff, but just the crappy white carbs I tend to eat at dinner (I've got to start cooking more, my dad makes yummy things, just not always healthy things) What do you all think? Well I'm off to the gym in a little bit, full body workout today to make up for not going yesterday, wish me luck! I hope I don't pass out at the end!:willy_nilly:
 
Hey there! It certainly can't hurt to cut down on the not-as-good-for-u carbs and fill up on the good-4-u carbs. Just remember that your macros should look like this:

Protein: 30%
Carbs: 40%
Fats (good of course): 30%

I either end up having too many carbs or too much fat (not always the good stuff). Best of luck and let us know how your workout went!
 
Thanks for the tip Trying Again, I'll definitely take that to heart. It seems I always have to much carbs, I love my bread and pasta hehe. My workout today was awesome. I did 35 mins on the elliptical on Random, level 7, 20 mins on the bike on Random, level 8, and I did upper and lower body strength training with machines and dumbells, and some ab exercises. And surprisingly I'm not totally worn out hehe. I hope everyone's having an awesome day!
 
Well, time for my food report!!

Breakfast: 1 packet of apples and cinnamon oatmeal with 1% milk and blueberries, 1 cup of green tea (150 cals)

Lunch: chicken fajita pita from Jack In The Box, 1 banana (400 cals)

Dinner: Chili dog with a hot dog bun, chili, a little ketchup and mustard, some canalope (uhh approx 550 cals?)

Total: 1,100 cals

Ughhh I feel so dang bloated after eating that chili dog. I told my dad that we need to start coming up with healthier dinners that also taste good, and he agreed, so hopefully the dinner situation will start improving. The plus side is I got in a ton of exercise, and I also took a walk to my local library to print out job applications (my printer sucks) and walking back is quite a steep hill, and I walked with a friend (I ran into him at the library so we walked home together, he lives just down the street from me, so that was a plus. I'm praying that I did alright on Sunday's weigh in, we shall see!! Goodnight everyone!
 
I just had an "aha" moment about something. I am never, ever, ever, ever eating hot dogs again. Next time dad makes chilly dogs I'm just having a bowl of chili and some fruit with it. Ughhh I just feel so bloated and gross right now, every time I eat a hot dog I feel like that, so I'm just not going to eat them anymore.:smash:
 
Good morning everyone!! Well, tomorrow is the big weigh in day!! Guhhhh I'm so nervous, if I just loose 1 or 2 pounds I'll be really really happy. I worked really hard this week, so I am really hoping to see some results. Have great day everyone :Angel_anim:
 
Thanks Trying Again, I really appreciate it! I'm pulling for you to! Lets do this thang! :auto:

Here's my food and exercise report for the day:

Breakfast: Packet of apples and cinnamon oatmeal with 1% milk and blueberries, 1 cup of green tea (150 cals)

Lunch: 2 small slices of Round table pineapple and Canadian bacon (left overs from monday) (umm 450 cals?)

Dinner: Small serving of Costco orange chicken (frozen dinner) zatarans spicy rice, 1 piece of melon, and 1 cup of 1% milk

Exercise: Walked for an hour and a half to my local library and back to check out some books, I've been bored lately, I need a good book to read.

I know I could have done without the 2 slices of pizza at lunch, but a friend of my dads was over here at the house helping my dad put up a new cabinet in our living room, and I wanted something quick because I don't like making food when there's people over working and there not eating to, I also don't like eating food when there's people over here working either because I don't like to eat when nobody else is, but I was hungry so the pizza was nice and quick. Sorry excuse I know, I should have had some soup or something :cuss: I really really hope I do ok at Tomorrow's weigh in, next week I will definitely improve on some food choices, I'll be at my aunts house for about 3 days starting Sunday to babysit, but I'll still get out to exercise when she's at work and the kid's are at school and I'll still make good food choices. Sorry this is so long hehe. Goodnight everyone!
 
Well, unfortunately i have nothing good to report on the weigh in, it turns out that I actually gained a pound from last week! (173 to 172). Although I think it's because of my TOM, more than anything else. I worked out really hard this week and tried to keep eating under control, so I'm not going to stress about it and I'm not going to mope. I'm just going to try harder this week and hope for a better result next week. Nobody said this weight loss thing was going to be easy, right? Have a great day everyone :)
 
Hey everyone! Sorry to post to late, but I'm at my aunts house right now until Thursday to help out with her kids since her husband is away, so I've been kind of busy all day. On that note, it turns out I let my disappointing weigh in get to me after all, because I did HORRIBLE on my eating today. I started out good with a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, a tuna sandwhich at lunch, then at dinner, the munchies turned on and this time I didn't have the will power to turn it off. We had a frozen freschetta pizza and I had wayyyyy to much of it, had like 5 small slices, munched on some movie theater popcorn, some leftover theater candy, and a couple spoon fulls of rice crispy treat (we hade rice crispy treats and I licked the spoon. And I also drank 2 small glsses of pepsi with my pizza :blush5: UGHHHHH now I feel so stupid that I let a bad weigh in throw me off like that, and I bet it was just because of my stupid TIME OF THE MONTH!! I've got to get it out of my mind that I'm going to have great weigh ins every week, cause I know realistically that that's not going to happen. Ughh tomorrow I'm starting over, no more junk, no more soda, and no more sweets. I'm going to get in all the exercise I can until I can get back into my gym. I WILL do this, I HAVE to do this!!
