I actually do care what YOU think.

My thoughts were rattling along the lines of not caring what YOU think whether I'm back or not, shamelessly or with the usual Day 0 motivation. But I do care.


I mean that's why I have a diary.


I've restarted, tried to change, over and over again, I don't want to rattle off my history with dieting and the wide range of numbers I've seen on the scale.


Let's just......get it done.
 
History is just that, its history. You get to decide what is going to be the next chapter in your life. Good luck, and use the diary to vent if you need to it helps :)
 
Woke up at the top of this morning at 199.0! So crazy I'm so heavy!


I went to work today and saw an old co-worker who looked so skinny! She probably went from a size 12 or 14 to a size 6! I didn't ask because we were in front of other people, but she looked so young, even though she's probably between 35 and 40, which is kinda old to me!


I woke up at like 7am and got home like at 6pm. I'm so tired because I'm not used to waking up and working because of the summer!


745am: 1 scrumptious nectarine

1030am: trail mix

1230pm: roast beef sandwich on 1/2 roll, kid size spicy nacho

230pm: 1 cup mac and cheese, 1/2 cup pasta salad, 2 cup salad, small cinnamon roll, 3x3 square sponge cake, 2 cups dole juice


calories: 2,000


I'm so tired, I'm going to go lay down and take a nap and drink a lot of water.
 
AIt's good that you are spacing out your meals, though 1 fruit is not really a breakfast. Try having some oatmeal or perhaps some eggs (you can remove some of the yolk if you are worried about cholesterol levels(even then egg yolk is fairly healthy for you) My breakfast is usually a bowl of ceral with a banana, 1 or 2 pieces of rye toast with 3-4 egg whites. I personally try to shoot for around 500 calories per meal 3 times a day, that gives me 1500 and then I have around 300-500 to play around with for my needs which is usually some fruit through out the day if I am feeling low on energy or some vegetables when I can catch a break at work.

2 cups of juice could be anywhere between 360-500 calories which really are not needed. You may see the 100% vitamin a or c thinking its good but you get more then enough vitamins throughout the day if you are eating right. Personally I cut out all sugary type drinks, I only drink water, milk if its in my breakfast ceral or oatmeal.

May not seem like a big deal but think about it. just not having juice brings you down to 1500 calories which is pretty good (1200 is the general consensus for women )
 
Hey everyone, thanks for the stop by! It really sucks because usually when I start a new diary, that really means that i'm all ready to go to get started.


Have I started going to the gym? No, not yet.

Have I been calorie counting? No, not yet.


Although, today for a lunch that was provided during work training, I used the largest section of the plate to put the salad!


My stomach is so bloated. SHOOT.


Sunday will be the day.

Awh welcome back dear, losing weight is so hard, ive had so many cravings yesterday and i was going crazzzzzzy. Goodluck on losing weight, and i know you will stick to it this time!!:)


All the Best!!xoxox
 
I've been feeling skinnier these days, definitely not stuffing myself to maximum capacity. I am eating to "maintenance" I guess. I choose to eat certain things because I'd rather not go out and buy food. That's something.


Breakfast

1 slice cinnamon raisin bread

1 tbsp honey


Snack

2 servings trail mix

1 cup orangade juice

1/2 cup of coffee

2 danishes (2x3" logs)


Lunch

1 cheese stick

1/2 ox tail soup


Snack

1 small apple


Dinner

2 eggs

1 cup brown rice

1/3 kilbasa

1 ox tail soup


Not the best choices ever, but better than going out to buy food. I just gotta incorporate exercise. I have been moving much more the past few days because I've started work, but I gotta add so much more and more!
 
Today, had to do some coupon shopping, so decided to go to the gym. When I don't do dwelling of whether I should go or not, I tend to go!


So, I went to the gym, hopped on an elliptical trainer for 22 minutes at interval training. Got pretty sweaty, HOT HOT HOT! Then, afterwards, I did some interval cycling for 12 minutes. Sweaty, yesssss.


I think I gave my heart a nice workout, probably a 8 out of 10.


I realized though, while in the shower, I worked out to improve health and not to lose weight. If i wanted to lose weight, I probably should've cardio-ed for like an hour. But that's not going to happen, unless I have a really good fire under my arse.


Tomorrow looks something like this...


Breakfast

-Cinnamon Bread

-1 Nectarine


Snack

-2 servings Trail Mix

-1 small apple

-1 cheese stick


Lunch

- 1 whole wheat pita

- 2 tbsp hummus

- 2 tbsp tahini sauce

- 4 fish nuggets


Dinner

- 2 servings of oxtail soup


Calorie-wise, I'm trying really hard to stay under 2,000 without really counting, just making smarter choices.
 
Felt skinny today again. I'm happy. It's so effortlessly happening. I'm too lazy to change batteries in my scale, so i've just been going with how i've been feeling.


Breakfast

1 cinnamon bread


Snack

1 yogurt drink

1 cheese stick

1/2 cup black coffee


Snack

2 whole wheat pita bread

3 tbsp hummus


Lunch

2 servings trail mix

1 sun chips

1 turkey sandwich on half a roll


Dinner

2 ox tail soup

1/2 cup brown rice


about 1,700 calories today. So not bad! No exercise today, stuck in traffic kills it, pretty much!
 
omg i went to weigh myself on my broken scale and was 204.6!!!! with just a shirt on!!


All this "feeling skinny" is bullshit obviously. I even went to the bathroom TWICE today, helped me feel even skinnier.


My work pants usually bind into my stomach because they are so tight, and the fastenings even pop open, the hooks, but they didn't the past 2 days...


i know my food choices aren't the best, but i swear my calorie count is pretty accurate. with years of dieting under my belt, i truly understand what is what and overestimate for inaccurate nutrition facts.


ox tail soup is in a clear broth! BROTH!


I have a doctor scale in my classroom, will weigh on it tomorrow. With clothes on. Official, much? very much so.


Then, I change the batteries on my scale, and get on it, now i'm 201.8. Still not happy, but after a full day's caloric intake w/ salt and water, okay, maybe i'm lik 198-197.


I really like the fact that I have one of those professional scales in my classroom. It'll probably be like a 2.5lb because of my cardigan, bra, slacks, shoes, but oh well. i'll take a pic of it with my camera phone ;)


Here are my #s...

August 21

Chest 46"

Stomach 41"

Hip 44"


I remember when I was 165lb, bodybuilding, high-protein, strength training, my waist was a 35". I remember when my chest area was a 42". All at 165lb. Not near my lifetime goal, but 165 is my short term goal.


My goal #s are

Chest 36"

Stomach 28"

Hip 36"
 
Woke up this morning, and didn't eat anything, naked I got on my scale at 199.0 flat, okay, at least I didn't gain any weight...


I went to work and got on my doctor scale with my clothes on, and i weighed 198.5lb WITH my clothes and flats on! That's like an average 2.5lb deviation! So that's so good. My home scale is in the whacks!!! SUCKS =(


I really hope to keep that scale in my room! I make sure I balance it before I use it, even though it looks like it's 30-40 years old, it works accurately.


Breakfast

1 slice cinnamon bread

1/2 cup coffee


Snack

1/2 medium papaya


Lunch

3 3" squares of homemade whole wheat pesto pizza w/ cream cheese

1 cheese stick

2 tbsp hummus

1 small apple


Dinner

1/2 papaya

2 serving ox tail soup


Ate about 1250 calories, not too bad. Drank like 9 cups of water.


I need to seriously budget and figure out how I'm going to get a pedicure because I really want one! I wish I could save every dollar I earn, lol, how childish!


Tomorrow will look something like this...


Breakfast: yogurt; Snack: pita bread + hummus; Lunch: chicken quesadilla and edamame; Dinner: chicken pesto!
 
Watched this youtube video on "how to lose weight" and figured out which steps i'm doing...just for fun


Step 1: Eat only when you're hungry and stop when you are full


Step 2: Avoid sweet, salt, or fatty food.


Step 3: Know calorie count of what you're eating.


Step 4: Practice portion control.


Step 5: Keep food out of sight


Step 6: Drink more water. Downing 6-8 glasses of water help.


Step 7: Keep it off with exercise. Several hours of exercise per week is more integral in keeping the weight off.


As a teacher, the office always has a bowl of candy available for teachers to come by and pick up. I probably pick up an average of 2 each day. So I need to work on Step 5. Currently, I'm working on Step 6. I feel like I've done portion control really well as long as I keep a good variety of food. I'm also working on Step 1. I realized I don't need so much food for lunch, breakfast, or dinner. Basically, I don't need a lot of food to fu nction. I can eat what I want and feel full.


Things to work on: Steps 2, 5, 7

Currently mastering: Steps 1, 3, 4, 6


More than half way to go!! If I can avoid the office candy for one day, it'll be a success! Even though I really don't think these hershey kisses, or 1 starburst, or 1 super miniature kit kat bar makes a difference...
 
Ahh, I enjoy feeling skinnier and healthier, so I FEEL good.


This morning, I was super tired and had to crawl out of bed. I went to work, nearly half asleep. I think I was just tired. I was yawning up until 10am. I was so tired I was craving something warm, like donuts.


Breakfast

1 organic low fat yogurt smoothie 140


Lunch

1/2 Safeway california dreamin' sandwich**

sun chips

1 large nectarine 550


**I hate online calorie counting, a whole sandwich is NOT 400 calories. W/ avocado? on a dutch crunch ROLL? Nope!


Dinner

1/2 cup boiled pasta

4oz chicken breast grilled on foreman

2 tomatoes

1/4 cup alfredo sauce

1 tbsp pesto sauce 550

1/8 watermelon 150


1400 calories.


Exercise

I got on the treadmill for 10 minutes, I started with a jog and then incline and ran. I also got 20 minutes of interval cycling in. I was super super sweaty. YAY! I say I was sweating like a 8 out of 10. I didn't even feel fat and heavy!


Yesterday, I didin't go to the bathroom and then today, I went for a little bit which scared me. But then after the nectarine, boom! I loved it!
