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

Hey Hajni,

Just stopping in to say hi! I haven't been here that much, but thought I'd stop by. :)

Hi all,

I am sorry I was not around much lately. I am sad to say that I have had a rough two weeks where I just gave in to too many temptations and kind of skipped my exercises as well. Which left me at a weight of 146.8 as of yesterday.
I so have to get back into gear here... I don't anticipate losing but I don't want to start the New Years at 155 either.
I am an emotional eater. I had about 10 butter cookies (I don't even like butter cookies) yesterday, even that they did not taste good and I felt no hunger either.
So I got a grip on myself, skipped dinner and went to the gym... Today all I had is some V-8 vegetable juice. Not because I am starving myself but because I am sooo not hungry after stuffing my face 5 days straight.

I am hoping i can keep some sense in me through this Holiday season...

Will try to come back and update but right now I am afraid I am such a downer.
 
Awe, Hajni, we all have bad days! And the holidays are just full of too many goodies and we all get sucked into the temptations.

You are definitely an inspiration to everyone here!
 
Hajni... sweetpea is right on target with the fact that the holidays are just an emotional fun filled holiday with goodies and all kinds of temptations.. the point is that you know what you have to do and need to do to get back on track.. if not just maintain.. I am not thinking i'll lose anymore as i was surprised on dropped down to 232.6 We both can get back on track or maintain through the holiday and then after really kick butt.. haha i wanna see 225 by the day i start school so that means another 7.6 lbs to go and i got a month to do it.. lets do this.. i know we can.

hugs.. heather
 
Hey Haj!
Just stopping by to say "Hello". This time of year its hard for most to "stay on track", but with the added emotional loss for you, it will be that much harder (and understandable) to do so. Do what you can, as best as ya can- your friends here on the forums are here to help, support and motivate ya in whatever way we can.

HI everyone!!

I am still here, too busy to post or to read anybody's diary I am sure we are all struggling with the Holiday busyness... I love Christmas but this running around for 3 weeks straight before it is getting old now.
All the presents are bought, nothing is wrapped, menu is not prepared, still gotta go grocery shopping. On top of that I am extremely busy at work by trying to get ready for closing the year and last minute things.
I did make the gym 3 times this week, and planning to go over the weekend as well. Exercise is right on target, eating is another issue....I am not doing well with restricting my calories. but I am happy to report that I saw 143 on the scale today which means I am back where I started from... Maintaining... pretty happy about that actually.
I pigged out today again ( i was so good the last two days), and ate two slices of veggie pizza at lunch... Oh, well tomorrow is another day and I will do better. I have not touched any cookies though.

gotta run, bedtime for my daughter and I have not even taken a shower or picked up the house or prepared my lunch for tomorrow...etc.
 
Your life so sounds like mine right now!
Busy busy busy!!!!
Yeah on maintaining!!!
And don't let the eating thing get to you.
Your doing great!
 
:grouphug: Howdy Hajani,
Glad to see the scale in your favor once again!Your doing great and holidays can be a little much to deal with and worry about cals,exersices,kids,dog,work,hubbys lol tell me about it!!Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!:party:
 
HI All,

I am sorry I have not been around. I am doing terribly in the weight loss department, gained lbs, not sure how many as I did not step on the scale for over a week now....I have not been able to control my emotional eating and had no time for the gym... starting new on Monday the 31st. Hoping to get back to the swing of things and going to the gym every day during the week.
This year just has to end. My DH's grandmother passed away this morning.

I will be back and starting new on Monday!!
Maybe I will start a new diary as well....
I don't think I am joining any of the challenges, I am afraid of letting the team down. I am going to try my hardest to be consistent with my eating and exercising.

Hope all of you had a great Holiday and wish you all a Happy New Year. I promise to visit your diaries next week and thank you for all the support!!
 
Sorry to hear about Dh Grandma . . do what I'm doing this New Years . . write 2007 on some cardboard and BURN IT!

I too am looking forward to getting back on track!
Best wishes for a Happy Healthy New Year!
 
I just want to say you are an inspiration withyour honesty and I have only read a bit of your diary. Glad to know all this real world items affect others just like they affect me. Sorry to hear things are chaotic but my your ticker you have done a fabulous job and willbe back on track in no time.
 
Thank you Jen, Mom2, SweatPea, I appreciate you stopping over even that I haven't been here for you lately.

So I jumped on the scale today and almost fainted although I did expected to see a significant gain... also TOM just left so that might influenced it.
I was 150.2 this morning. 7 lbs gain in a little over a week. I have nobody else to blame but myself. Well, it is depressing. I am starting tomorrow with my strict routine of calorie counting and will try to make the gym 4-5 days and exercise at home as well.

I originally was going to stop at Christmas and be done with it...but things have changed. Major thing is I switched health insurances and because of it, I should not get pregnant before June or I have to pay most of it out of pocket. So I am not in a hurry for a baby and might as well try to lose a little more weight in the meantime.

Also somehow I need to control my emotional eating. All through-out this week I ate out of boredom and not hunger. Most of the time the sweets just gave me a stomach-ache anyway and I did not feel good after it. Nothing tasted so good that I just had to have it.... I just ate because it was there. I need to work on this so this won't happen once I reach my goal weight.
I generally cook very healthy for my family, lots of veggies, watch the fat, watch the protein.... all I need to do is portion control for myself after the goal weight.

So I know I should start today by going to the gym, but I am thinking of starting fresh tomorrow.... I know I can do it if I really put my mind to it.

I will be around, but I think I won't post my food and exercises every day, but I will keep track of it.

Oh, I read my first entry where I said I would be reading my diary 20 lbs lighter in Christmas time and I actually made it!! I started out 166 and I was 143 at Christmas so all and all I haven't done terrible, I think I just came to a stumbling block on the road... I am convinced it will just make me more smarter and more determined in the long run!!
 
Hey girl... sorry to hear about dh's grandma passing away. My dh's grandma passed away little over a year after we started dating. she said she could go on after knowing that her family had someone to help them along the way.. i am thinking she was talking about me since I had been there almost everyday with them since dh and i had started dating.. lol anyways.. hope you get on the right track when you do start your fresh start. I know myself i need to start going to the gym again too.. this holiday stuff really kills the time and energy to wanna work out as much as before.

Here's to a very happy new year for both of us and a lighter us too...
