Greg Lewis' One Day a Time Diary

- Start date
Well, so far so good, I woke up early this morning and early enough to have breakfast before classes (College). I had some Cheerios with a bottle of water and packed a yogurt and a nectarine. Also took a vitamin.
I had breakfast at 8:30am and had my Yogurt at 11:15am, I got back to my room and am now having lunch (1:36). Ive also had 3 bottles of Poland Spring water.
I feel great!

how many calories a day are you going to be taking in?
Yesterday was great during the day, then I got home and started snacking for seemingly no reason and went to bed too late (2:30am) I dont have classes today and slept until 2pm and decided that I would give myself free reign today and start over tomorrow. How convienient. I couldnt just come home last night and go to bed and stick to my plan for tuesday.
Instead, I overslept, had no discipline and decided to take the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups out of the garbage and eat those. Then I went to the Mall and got a new phone and went to a movie and got a popcorn loaded with butter. I have no discipline. I can do it for almost a day, but then I cave. Its like I cant function without eating for comfort.
I came home and got a pizza and am going to start again tomorrow. That is what i always do, give myself a pass, and then start "tomorrow".

This so sounds like me. I've gone through that exact same cycle more times than I care to admit. The frustrating thing is I'm so bad on the "off" days that it entirely negates all my hard work on the "good" days.
Well - there's only tomorrow. The way I figure, the sooner I "start again" the better off I'll be. I think the difficulty really is that "lifestyle change" everybody keeps talking about. Those people who actually change their life don't have "on" and "off" days, they just eat well.
If you find a solution for having bad days, let me know!

2 months later and probably more poundage added, I am coming back. I have a plan for tomorrow and nothing beyond that right now. I just want to exercise 5 times per week and eat a healthy diet and stop binging on junk food and sugar.
Its so hard for me to do this anyway but 100%, if I goof up on one thing, whether it be eating or not going to the gym it seems it takes me weeks to get back here. If I fail, not if, but when right, eventually I will slip up? is this true?
The best thing is to come back the next day and try again right? How can I learn this and apply it!!!??!!!

Well today I made the mistake of sleeping in until 4pm. I have been treated for depression and tried 2 medications but the side effects were pretty bad and they either didnt work well or the side effects negated the good it was doing.
Today, I am going to the gym like I said I was going to. Then I will get a meal from somewhere (Boston Chicken or Subway).
I feel pretty sad today and Im not sure why, I think its like it always is, I feel like this because Im overwieght. Today I am going to try to take some action towards feeling better within today by praying, going to the gym, eating a healthy meal and seeing some friends. That will hopefully do the trick.
ttyl,
Greg

January 1st, 2009
I have a plan for January 1st, 2009, take care of myself. I have made a decision to go to the gym and exercise for 1 hour tomorrow. I am also going to drink plenty of water, take a multivitamin and avoid sugar and bread and eat healthy. I can do this for one day. I will be back tomorrow to write down what I accomplished regarding these decisions to act. I think I am going to weigh myself just to be honest about how much I weigh and so I can track my results from Jan 1-21 a total of exactly 3 weeks.
I am going to set a short term goal to lose 10 pounds within this time frame. I have a feeling it may come pouring off if I dig right into an exercise regimen of daily exercise and avoid breads and sugars and drink plenty of water and eat protein and such. We shall see how it goes.
Weigh in 1: January 1, 2009 (8:15am)
Weigh in 2: January 8, 2009 (8:15am)
Weigh in 3: January 15, 2009 (8:15am)
Weigh in 4: January 21, 2009 (8:15am)
Off I go.

Going to the gym soon.................
I also configured my Diet Ticker, though Im not calling this a diet, but it is simply, a new way of living that is healthy (this way includes 90% less junk of all kinds). I can do this, I might not want to some days, but I will do it anyway because it is what is good and better for me than continuing to gain weight. My only concern is what I will do when I am in that addict mode of wanting that "fix", I simply must do something to counteract that, many times I feel that and the plan is out the window only to make me 5-10pounds heavier and right back where I started. I figure it will hurt as I try to avoid that fix, but that it will get easier over time and after multiple times of not giving in and getting past it, I will realize it that I am getting better at avoiding the fix and that it is not as hard as it used to be. I will pray to my higher power that he may relieve me of the desire to "binge" as well and also see what I can do to help another person and not be so centered on me all the time.
I will do this!
