Holly's weight loss diary...

ok, so I decided that keeping a diary on here of what I eat may be a good idea. this will also be a good place for me to vent.


Food diary for 1/23/07:
6:40 am
1 cup coffee w/fat free creamer
8am
1 cinnamon eggo waffle w/ 1/8 cup lite syrup
1 banana
1 cup 1% milk
10am
1 slice wheat toast
12pm
1 Schwanns brand life smart tomato Basil pizza
1 cup iceberg lettuce shredded
1 tbsp lite italian dressing
croutons
2pm
1 cup fat free chocolate pudding
6pm
7oz stuffed salmon
1 cup cooked portabella mushrooms
1 slice wheat bread
1 cup 1% milk
9pm
1 cup 1% milk
Total calories: 1476



the not eating after 7pm is hard for me, I know that it doesn't matter what time I eat, but the amount of calories I consume does, but I have always had something sweet or salty everynight while watching a little TV.

Can't wait for my eliptical to be fixed! I need to get back on it, I usually try to get my exercise in while I watch my soap.

Sounds like you're off to a great start!

I struggle with the late night eating, too, especially since I'm usually up til around midnight. Maybe you could have some fat-free yogurt or some fresh fruit as a late night snack instead of munching on something less nutritious (cookies and chips have been my weakness ^_^")? I used to snack on cut strawberries or cantaloupe to ease the night hunger, and it helped do the trick :).

Hope you get your elliptical fixed soon! Good luck and keep up the great work! ;)

I am seeing that the amount of food I can eat to stay under 1500 calories is pretty good. I feel like I am eating alot, which is good!!
 
i blew my calorie limit today!! had a big mac and small fries for dinner
total today: 1700...........blah

I felt so bad after i ate it that this evening i did the 3 mile walk away the pounds dvd.

the work out was AWESOME. I am going to start doing the 3 mile walk away the pounds every tues and thurs evening. these are the nights that my husband practices with his band. my sons did the dvd with me and had a blast doing it, and it made them tired. I also want to use the eliptical 5 days a week for atleast 30 minutes, that is if they ever come fix it!!
 
That is awesome I think that you went over your calories, but you made it up in exercising. That is what this is all about, because we can never be perfect, we just have to learn and fix our mistakes!!

Congrats and keep going :D:D:D
 
I did another 1 mile on the dvd this morning. I wasn't planning on it but Layne, my 7 year old son, put the dvd in and told me to do it with him, so I did! He is going to be a big help...I love him to pieces!!!
 
eat at 6 am

My trainer who has helped me loose the weight I have lost so far told me that I shouldn't let more than 3 hours go by from waking up to breakfast he says that by doing this the body goes into starvation mode and you could actually gain weight. I started doing this and I have seen more weight drop. although this morning I didn't.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion...but I am usually not hungry when i wake up and then buy the time i get my 2 boys up and feed and dressed it is already 8am, then i start to feel hungry. I am trying to make myself get up earlier and have sometime for myself and relax and try to eat something then, but that is turning out to be hard cause i love my sleep.
 
He told me that even if it is one of those breakfast bars (I like special K's blueberry) it is better than not eating when you get up.

I have been busy all day, only got to sit down a few times. Did some major cleaning of my house this morning, got caught up on laundry, and did 2 mile workout. Things are going good!! I have really noticed that I have alot more energy these last few days.
 
I did the 1mile dvd this morning and just got done doing the 2 mile, I am about 1/2 thru my calories for today already but I am feeling really hungry so I think that I am going ahead and eating something, I may go over my limit but since I have been so active the last few days I think that it will be ok, as long as it is something sensible!!
