Happy and Healthy

You HAVE been doing pretty well! YAY!! Bummer about the car... my brother's home for thanksgiving, and his car started overheating, and then the radiator started leaking, and now he can't drive it at all. He has to bum rides from his friends to get to his job interviews... :ack2:
Anywho-- keep up the good work!
:D

I hope things are going okay for you! Update us soon!:seeya:

Back!

Well Im back AGAIN I swear I just have too many things to keep track of and somehow my weight always just gets thrown by the wayside. So Im hoping, *Cross my fingers* that I will be able to keep tabs now and stay with it and hit my goal once nad for all!

Today Ive had:
1 Mug of Coffee w/ light vanilla soymilk, 2 packets of faux sugar, and sugar-free creamer = 35?
1 Bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup: 120
1 Diet Pepsi: 0
1 small bag of cheddar chex mix: 130

**I had this at 10 because I had to go to work so it was kind of breakfast, but I guess it could be a really early lunch**

Day 1 of Juice Fast

So after a long weekend of Junk-fooding with the boyfriend, I have come to the conclusion that Spring is right around the corner and that I have held comfort in big winter clothes for far to long. So to jumpstart my weightloss once more Ive decided to do a Juice Fast (with the exception of 1 piece of fruit in the morning) I really want to do it for 5 days, but we'll see how long it goes! Wish me luck--I know its not the healthiest thing, but I really believe that fasts mentally and spiritually help a persons body, and Im just cleansing away everything that Ive done badly to my body since then.

So far-
1 Grapefruit
1 Diet pepsi
32 oz juice (to last the whole day)
Lots and Lots of water!
 
So..according to my scale this morning fast didnt seem to last after valentines day weekend. Although it was fabulous to spend time with the boyfriend, we didn't eat very healthily...so back to the same old calorie watching and exercise technique

So Far Ive Eaten
1-100 Calorie pack of Craisins- 100
1 special K bar- 90
Fruit Juice- 100?
Lunch-
1 serving chicken pasta sides: 250
1 serving steamed broccoli and carrots: 60
2 pieces of wheat toast: 200
snack-
3 small caramels (kraft): 75
1 special K bar: 90
dinner-
1 lean cuisine panini: 310?
1/2 grapefruit: 55
1 side romaine salad w/ parmesean and light ranch: 110
dessrt-
1/4 cup of milk chocolate chips: 140
total: 1,580

Still the same..

I wasn't hoping for miracles but I was crossing my fingers that my weight would have decreased just a little this morning...but it didnt! I blame it onthe chocolate chips and my chaotic school schedule. Yesteray I didnt get to eat lunch until 3:30 and then I took a nap until 7 and then ate dinner at 7:30 which is later than I would normally like to eat. Tonight I have class until 5:30 and I had a break at 12:30 today so it will be more normal. But on those days where its really crazy i feel like its so hard to stick to eating healthy especially since healthy options arent always the fastest and easiest to make and carry along to class!

Today so far Ive had:
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt w/1 scoop protein powder, craisins, and sugar free caramel syrup: 300
lunch:
1 serving chicken pasta sides w/steamed veggies (Left overs!): 310
1 piece of wheat toast: 100
1 small cup of no sugar added mandarin oranges: 90
1 diet mt. dew: 0
1/8 cup chocolate chips: 100
Total so far- 900ish

Just popping in to say hi, and wish you the best of luck with your journey!

So I kicked my ass and lost a little bit of weight, my 6 year anniversry with my boyfriend is coming up (March11th) so Im hoping to be down quite a few pounds by then so I can wear something cute and feel pretty :)

Ive been feeling a little off lately, because I havent been sleeping hardly at all, I had given up my sleeping pills (ambien) about 2 months ago but I just refilled my prescription because I honestly can not sleep and it makes me lethargic during the day and I will nap for like 4 hours during the day etc and its putting a cramp on my style. So hopefully once I get my ambien things will work out a lit tle more and I wont be so exhausted.

Im taking a nutrition counseling class this semester, and I actually love it. It really touches on working with clients and duing the class we get together with partners and film/work on our asessment with them. Yestrday we did a 24 hour food recall with our partner, and then our partner would pick 3 things from our 24 hour recall to talk about. My 3 things were drink less diet soda, eat more fruits and veggies, and less on the carbohydrates. Which all were obvious, but hearing it from another person really made me look at myself. So Im putting my heart into mycousniling and my goals and hopefully reach my goal ASAP.

Today Ive eaten:
1 Whole Wheat Bagel w- 2 tbsp 1/3 less fat cream cheese
2 clementines
1 diet soda
water
for my snack
1 kashi granola bar

I think that sounds like a good idea. I need to get a little bit more regular with my sleep, too... Course, I'm sick right now, so it doesn't count if I sleep from 11pm-1:30pm... Now, if I stick to that schedule when I get better, THAT will be a problem. :p

That sounds so awesome! I know I need to stop drinking so much diet soda, but hey, when it stops working for me, I'll change it :p
I really need to stop eating out so much too, as it is, I eat out 6-7 days a week... definitely not healthy...

I know you'll do great! You are seriously talented, girl, you'll definitely go far.

<3

Hey Mariah :waving: I'm silly but I always get so geeked when somebody new pops by my journal. So I came by to see why I've missed yours. I think you and I were MIA opposite times and missed eachother from what I can tell. LOVE your profile pic of the chick smashing the scale, that is awesome! Was reading through your journal and your story really touched me. I've not dealt with exactly the same issues but I sure can relate to being on an emotional roller coaster and having stuff build up until I didn't know what to do with it. I just think it's awesome how no matter what you're going through you're approach sounds so positive. Love your pics, you are stunning. So did you keep the lighter hair or go back to darker? I liked the blonder version but you're dark hair is gorgeous. Ok I'm rambling now but just wanted to say hi :) Glad you're back and I have a new weight loss buddy. :hat: ~Lisa

Thanks so much Lisa, for stopping by! I actually have kept my hair mostly light but I definentely need to go get it redone! But highlights are so expensive haha! So I hafta save my money so I can get it lightened again over spring break. Im sure reading over your journal as well that we can defitnely relate on stress and frustrations over weight! Hope to see you around :coolgleamA:
 
New Day New Frustrations..

So I know I didnt eat like a goddess or anything this weekend, but then again I made a definite effort to eat a lot better and watch my cals, and I didn't weigh myself until this morning, and I practically wanted to throw my scale at the wall and pull my hair out. Im almost back to where I started and im so frustrated! Even if its only like 2 lbs. :cuss: So what do I do I get pissed make bad diet choices and more than likely I'll regret it in the morning.

I know that Ive effed up my body with all the starving and binging and purging but I just want a break from my crappy crappy metabolism...

Not to mention my boyfriend who is no means overweight just "forgets to eat" and has been dropping pounds like nothing and hes already skinny! I hate that...so I feel like no matter what I do Im just getting bigger and hes losing the weight that I want to lose!

Grr Im so frustrated but Im sure tommorow I'lll be back in good girl mode, but today Im just having a mopey bad food day--even though its probably an awful choice *sigh*

Sooo for breakfast:
2 hot fudge sundae poptarts
lunch:
Cheddar chex mix...:ack2:

Until next time..
 
My food log was defintely awful today, but tommorows a new day *Deep Breath* and I will no longer have food tantrums when the scale doesnt go down....:banghead:
 
Ah, god, today was shitty for me too. I ate SOOO much crap... :banghead: That's why I only weigh once a week (or at least I try to. :p), because I like to think it evens out.

:p

Best of luck for your food day tomorrow.

<3
Annie
 
Thanks guys for all the motivation. It dawned on me last night, that I try and lose weight for a deadline and then once I fail I panic and then almost not entirely resort back to *Binge mode* Its so irritating, but laying in bed last night I had to tell mysef that I have all the time in the world to lose weight. Its only March for godsakes! Why should I try and rush it. So today = new outlook. I'm also going grocery shopping tonight which I think should make me start anew. Ive also been considering doing the South Beach Diet for about 2 weeks, because last time I did it I was able to lose a lot of weight. But that means no carbs, no fruit, no starch for 2 weeks. It pretty much is just a lot of protein and veggies. So Im going to hide all my carby foods I have atm, and then shop for food tonight that will aid me through until spring break! So today is my last day of carbing:

Breakfast:
2 bowls of fiberone rasin bran w/light soymilk
Lunch:
1 box of mac and cheese (Kraft shells)
10 oz diet pepsi?
Snack:
2 pieces of peanut butter toast
Dinner:
Big Mac
Fries
Diet Coke
*not the best where are the fruit and veggies?!*

Ok so grocery shopping didn't go as planned, but I defintely bought some essentials. I was on a budget. I ended up buying

3 lean cuisines
bananas
lettuce
light ranch
diet jones soda
laundry soap
cheese sticks
Chicken breast
eggs
Kashi granola bars
baked tortilla chips
re-fried beans
A big bar of dark chocolate (for little nibbles!)
100- calorie pack Jello

All was about $45...it will probably end up lasting me two weeks which is sad lol! Being a college student is so sad!

Also, I looked for split pea soup but was sad to find none :(

Yesterday was technically my Friday (I only have classes Mon-Wed) but I have work from 10-12 on Thursdays. So I have definite plans when I get home, my bedroom is a pig sty!:piggy: So I have to clean that and then clean out my Chillas cage- so they can be happy too! I also have to tackle some dreaded HW, I have a weekend class again this weekend and a 4 page paper due on Saturday as well as a test on Sunday. So Im sure I will be busy.

Hopefully I wont get sucked in by Youtube or WoW or online shopping...I really can't help myself...

I also have had a lot of offers for weekend plans which stinks! Why do people always want to do stuff when Im busy, last weekend a good guy friend of mine wanted to hang, but I was so exhausted from my class I had to decline, and then this weekend my other friend Josh wants to come hang out and have a drink and then my ex-bf (who's also a friend) wants me to go to his school (which is like 1/2 hour away) and have a movie night! Then my roomate is having her little sister over and wants us all to hang out---So Ive had to tell all my friends that my weekend plans are tentative on my Homework doing and my studying, so I should really get on that!

I cannot wait for spring break...hopefully I can just relax with my bf and play with my parents cats lol. My bf also asked me if I wanted to split Guitar Hero 4 with him and I said yes so hopefully our spring break time will be filled with wii fitting and guitar hero--how lame is that! Lol..love my life :)

On a different note, I havent weighed myself in a couple of days (me and the scale are fighting)

but for breakfast I had

2 cinnamon waffles w/light butter and syrup
1 banana (cut up ontop of the waffles)
12 oz coffee
lunch:
1 bean and cheese quesidilla (Made w/ 2 flour tortillas, refried beans, 2% cheese, and salsa)
1 serving baked lays
cheese dip
1 diet soda
dinner
2 grilled chicken tenders
2 cups romaine
1 serving baby carrots
parmesean cheese
light ranch
croutons
diet jones soda
dessert
1/2 bar dark chocolate
