Hajni's Diary: I will do it because I can

Hey Hajni,
Your meals and exercise are looking good!

I guess I was a little on the lazy side today - again. I did take a walk, but it took all of 10 min. there and 10 min. back (just 1/4 of a mile to my inlaws and back.) :sigh:

It is that time of the month where I get headaches and just need to nap. Ugh!
 
Weigh in day today.

Weigh in day for me. NOthing spectacular to report. Kind of disappointed, but I believe some of it is this bloating I have. I was really hoping to get into the 150's but there is always next week.:)
So I lost 0.8lb this week, body fat measurement confirms 0.8 lb of fat loss , at least I know the whole amount of loss was from body fat and not muscle.
I will take my start weight for the Halloween challenge on Sept. 1st Saturday but I would like to keep my regular weigh-in days for Thursdays. Tammy if you read this, is that an option? Thanks.
I have been getting compliments from relatives and co-workers what is always a good feeling on days when your scale is just not cooperating.
I skipped my running this morning, I was just so darn tired.
Have boot camp tonight and I will get there early so I can do some treadmill before and after the class making sure I burn at least 600 cal today.
Hope everybody is having a great day!!
 
Compliments are excellent forms of progress!

You are probably toning up and not losing as much fat right now. You will be in the 150's soon!
 
/wave Team Mate! Congratulations on your weightloss to date! I've glanced thru your diary and you seem to be
quite motivated and Im'm glad to have you on my team! It also pleases me to know we have similiar goals :)
 
Ok, the Halloween teams are posted YAY

So now I am in Caspers Countdown team and our team will rock and get thin... yeah!!

Howdy Hajani,
N/P I think it will be lots of fun for us and get to lose weight to woohoo!Your menue looks great and your exersices to.I am senseing 159 soon!;) Have a nice day Tammy
 
Hi Tammy, thanks for stopping by.!!
Funny you said that about the 159... you know I take my weight every day and guess what.. 159.8 (I know, not much of a difference..LOL) today. So my starting weight for the halloween challenge tomorrow will be under 160 YAY.
I got my lazy butt out of my bed this morning and did a 35 min on the treadmill, only burning 300 cal though. I have to burn 450 tonight..
 
Howdy Hajani,
Yeah it is a big deal but it totally distracts me because that 1/2 lb can come back just by drinking water or anything so but if you see my ticker today it says 180.5 because it was exactly inbetween the 180 and 181 as in before it kept bouncing around.
Anyway GL with the challange and a big CONGRATS on seeing 150's thats all new territory now lol can't wait to get there myself.Have agr8 weekend Tammy

You're definitely not lazy! I still haven't exercised yet today. Had an impromptu interview, so I decided to call the hair dresser and have an impromptu hair do done. ;)

I am going down soon or else I feel like I won't get to sleep tonight. Maybe I should take a bike ride, it's really nice outside tonight.

we are going to a barbeque later today. I am not afraid of overeating, the main food is always meat, and i don't eat that. I am going to bring a dish from home to eat, and made some cookies that i won't eat either. Two Ritz crackers with peanut butter inside and rolled into chocolate. It is awesome and everybody loves but it is sooo many calories.... I always pass...
 
How do you find the willpower?

I love those things! Well have fun today.

My friend Bellaryna (from the forums) is coming over today and we are going to have our own picnic. Then take the kids to the park. :)
We will get in some nature trails too - if the mosquitoes don't carry us away!
 
I stayed within my planned calorie range

So, I just came back from the barbeque and i did not do as good as planned, but stayed within my calorie range for the day. But I can not eat dinner or any more snack or nothing for the day. It is ok, it's 5.45 pm anyway.
I had one of my cookies I made, I have no idea how many calories, it can't be much but I tried to be conservative and assigned 100 calories to it. It only has like 1/3 of tbs of peanut butter.
Anyway, the food for the day, within calorie range but way away from healthy,

Breakfast: 1 c ff milk (90), 1 c. Special K cereal (130), ½ c. strawberries (25 ), 1 tbs walnuts (50), 1 ww bread (40), 1 tbs sgf jelly (10), 1 coffee (60) = 405

Snack: 1 c. ff milk (90), ½ c frozen stawberries (40), 1 c. frozen blueberries (80)= 210

Lunch/Dinner: ½ c whole wheat pasta (130), 2 Yves meatless lemon chicken skewer (200), 15 grapes (25), small(really it was tiny) slice strawberry short cake (250) , 2 half deviled eggs (115), 1 plum (35) =755
Snack: 1 p. butter filled ritz crackers chocolate covered (100?) = 100
Dinner: NONE

Total calories for the day : 1470
This might be more as I only estimated the strawberry shortcake calories.
Exercise: 45 min. turbo jam, 40 min running (3 miles) = 850 cal. burnt

Calorie Deficit: 1180 cal. This might be totally different as most of my food calories were estimates.

Water : 96 oz.
 
It looks like you did really well! I would've done way worse.
