We were allowed to wear headphoned if we wanted. A lot of people had their ipods and stuff and just ran like it was any other run. I actually didnt eat light before. I had a slice of grain toast with natural pb and a banana. The weather was perfect. It was a little chilly when you were just standing around but perfect once we got all warmed up. Then once we were all sweaty it was the WORST. FREEZING! Thanks a bunch for the congrats!! It feels soo good to be able to accomplish something like that.

I will have a few pics uploaded soon for everyone
 
Hey everyone and diary. I hope all is well. I am in a very weird mood right now because I just finished watching dexter and it made me cry. I was choked up for the entire hour of the show!!!

So AMAZING NEWS!!! Next trip to CUBA is BOOOKED!!!! December 16-23. I can't wait. It turned out to be 900 cdn which was more than I wanted to spend but It's for two people so its not too bad I guess. I just can't wait to see my boyfriend again. I told my mom its booked and shes PISSED! She wanted me to pay off some bills before I bought another trip but I told her I have everythin all planned out. I just wish she'd trust me. I am not going to devote all my money to the trip when I know I have bills to pay. I'll just have a really tight living budget for the next little while.

Yesterday I ended up eating bad. Right after the race I had some assorted sandwiches 3 halves of a sandwich totalling to one and a half sandwiches. and some salad. For dinner I had chinese food and 5 chicken wings. I felt deserving of it since I ran that race.... something I need to work on.

Today is going well. Eats were great.

Breakfast: fiber one huney clusters with almonds and soy milk
Snack: Banana
Lunch: An assortment of grainy shit and salad with chicken (it was a salad bar! I paid 10 BUCKS for it! ughhh)
Dinner: maybe 1/2 cup of rice. 1/2 oz fish a chicken breast and salad.

I ran on the treadmill when I got home today and busted out a solid 22 minutes at 5.8 mph. I need to start increasing my speed! I was feeling stiff today from my run yesterday so it was pretty tough but I was happy when I finally got through it. Anyways thats all for now. Take care everyone!
 
I also rewarded myself after the 5K yesterday, so you are not alone! Usually at my runs they have bananas and grapes, but yesterday they had ice cream sandwiches and hot dogs, so it pretty much started right then and there, haha. Glad you got your Cuba trip booked! You must be so stinkin' excited!
 
I am STOKED i just wish my family could have a little more faith in me. They think I'm gonna neglect my bills again like I did this summer. They just dont want me to screw myself over but this time I've got it all under control. They just dont trust me.


Anyways I'm just going to update quickly on here. It's been a couple days since I've checked out anyones diary but I will be catching up later on tonight. Everything is going well still woohoooo! I had wings for dinner last night though but I don't care. My mom was supposed to meet me but didnt show up. She scared the shit out of me. It made me feel really crappy. Other than dinner last night my eats were goood:

Breakfast: Fiber one honey clusters w/ soy milk
Snack: A red pepper
Lunch: Left over chicken breast sandwich with bbq and mayo
Dinner: 7 wings, and an order of calamari
and 2 pints of beer.

I also ran on the treadmill for 25 minutes on 5.7 yesterday.... and again this morning. It's starting to feel not so much like a chore to wake up and get on the treadmill. I am seeing some small changes in my stomach too. Especially my upper stomach. It makes me excited! I just can't wait to get out of the 160's then I will really feel goooooood. I plan to eat well for the rest of the week. My time of the month is showing up probably on monday.... not sure how that will affect my weigh in this week. This saturday is my friends bros bday hes going to be 19. I hope I can take it easy. Seeing as how I'm driving down and I have a cuba vacation to pay for I don;t think it should be TOO hard lolllll.

Have a good day alll.:waving:
 
I think you're family is just a little worried. Give them a little slack, and then come home from Cuba all happy and in control and show them they dont have to be worried. :)

And man, 25 min at 5.7 mph... wow. i can go for half an hour at 4.8... I think I would die if I went any faster. Keep up the great work! And have fun in Cuba!
 
HI!! I have terrible news! I am back up to 168.6. I have a good feeling that it has a little to do with the shitty day I had yesterday led on by the insane amount of drinking I did the night before, combined with the fact that my rag's a comin. I am prepared to adjust my ticker accordingly.



I have been doing this for a month now and I think some changes are in order. I am going to be doing what everyone tells me and cut out bread.... but not cut out bread entirely. I will have like 1 or 2 pieces a day instead of 3 or 4. I'm going to switch my lunches to SALAD's!! DELISHOUS SALADS WITH HEALTHY PROTEINS. I will try to find some reduced fat dressings to go on them. I would also like to start incorporating my ab DVD. Maybe do that on the weekends and give my legs a break. I will try not to have a bad meal so often. I think I am closer right now to having one 4 out of the seven days. This week was 5. I'd like to reduce that to 3. My wings on tuesday. A nice egg sandwich on the weekend. And then some other accidental slip up during the week that I will feel no remorse for. THAT'S IT! I am truly focused but I have having too many oh-well-ill-eat-better-next-meal meals.



This month is also my birthday. I am really stoked for that! I don't think I'll be doing anything amazing or anything but I'm just happy. I'll be 23! woooo! I'd like to be closer to the 150's by my birthday and this month I am going to PUSH for that. No more FUCKING AROUND. The ass kicking is being taken up a notch and right now I have the focus and I am ready for that notch turning!



My trip is in 2.5 months..... I'd like to set a goal for the day of my trip too... but I have NOOO IDEA what to set.....hmmmmm. I'm going to set a goal of 145. I would be THRILLED If I could see a number in the 140's again. I'm going to really try for that.



So Thursday I did something bad. I got drunk. REALLLY drunk. We ended up going back to these guys house which is fucking pathetic. I wish we never went. I was talking about my boyfriend the entire time so these fuck heads would leave me alone. One would not listen. Once I was too drunk he started fondling me. I don;t know how long the fondling lasted but I will tell everyone right now I was not enjoying it. I did not kiss him. And I did not make any form of advancements. I did not sleep with him and I did not touch him at all. I sat there with a dull look on my face as though I was being assulted and there was nothing I could do about it. And then I snapped into it. I got up and walked out the door and never looked back. I just kept walking and walking. I walked all the way to my car and I drove my god damn car home drunk. It's a 2 minute drive but stiill. I couldn't stay there and watch my relationship crumble. I HAD TO LEAVE. I am feeling really shitty about what has happened but I do not think I will tell my boyfriend. I think what I will do instead is consider that a warning to myself that it's possible that I will fuck things up with my boyfriend if I get drunk like that again and to smarten the fuck up. If I let that shit happen again I will surely tell him. The first time is a mistake the second time is definitely not.



Anyways heres my eats for yesterday:



Bfast: bagel with cream cheese.

Lunch: Swiss chalet dark with salad

Snack: grapes. 2 dates.

Dinner: fries and nuggets.... and some cream of mushroom soup afterwards.



Eats today potentially:

bfast: egg sandwich

Lunch: sushi (friends buying)

Dinner: swiss chalet





Have yet to do exercise today I think I'll do my abs.





sorry for the extreme amount of writing.
 
Hello Mr.Diary. I just wanted to update you quickly on yesterday. I did the ab bootcamp for my workout. I LOVE that DVD. Today my stomach is killing me and I LOVE IT!!!! Can't wait for it to be tight like a tiger!!! LOL Work was alright. I made 100 bucks which is nice. The food.... thats another story. I did not eat well. I came home from work starving. I had a small cup of chicken noodle soup when I was there. I brought spring rolls home for my mom and had one. And then I made a pizza.... it was small but I ate 3/4 of it..... wayyy too much. At least the pizza was veggie??? lol. I also had two pints of beer. So today already for breakfast I had one and a half western sandwiches. That's all I will eat until dinner and then I'll have like chicken with a salad or something light. Nothing over board. Oh and I haven't worked out today and I don't really feel like it either.

I jjust came back from doing some running around. I went and mailed my learn English packages to Hamed and I tossed a dance CD int here along with 30 dollars. Cubans don't make a lot of money as I'm sure everyone knows. So I figured I'd help him out a little. He never asked me to. I just want to :)

While I was out I also stopped at the store and purchased a bunch of nice salads for the week. They all are best before tomorrow but I think I can stretch them a couple days longer. They look really yummy though.. I am excited. Tomorrow it's back to the grind. I want to start upping my speed again now that I am running for 25 minutes. I might run just a couple more days at 5.7 for 25 miuntes so I feel a LITTLE comfortable with doing the run. Then I'll work to acheive 6.0 mph before ramping it up to 30 minntes.

Other than that all is well. Feeling really tired today. Only had 6 hours of sleep. I feel almost hung over. Going to take a nap now before work. Averyone have a good day! :)
 
HI DIARY!!!!! AND MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS!!! I hope everyone is WELL I am doing great.

I had a really hard time getting out of bed this morning and on the treadmill. I ALMOST reset the alarm to wake me up half an hour later but just got up and busted out the 25 minutes at 5.7. Todays eats went really well as far as I can tell. There may have been a little too much feta cheese on my salad but oh well.

Breakfast: 2 hb eggs on toast 1 pc.
Lunch: Chicken greek salad
Snack: Banana
Dinner: Swiss Chalet 1/4 drk no skin veggies and 3/4 of a baked potato w/ salsa.
Snack: 3 scallops.

The cravings are starting to tempt me a lot more in these days. I usually only last a month when I do a diet and then it all goes to hell. So I really need to work on keeping it up this month. This month will probably be the steep incline before the downhill. My pants are starting to be much looser on me. My work pants anyways. I find I keep yanking on them and I just bought thhem. I will either get them taken in or buy some more in a couple weeks.

Tomorrow is wing night and I've been thinking about it since I had my shitty wing night last week. I feel jipped out of a good wing night and I feel like I want to make up for it. I am not sure if I am going to actually have wings tomorrow night, But I've allotted myself the money for them this week. Started my TOM today so I hope all this water weight is going bye bye and I can have a decent loss this week. I'm going to really push for a decent loss. I'd like to see 165.X anything else is a PLUS!.

Take care everyone!!! :):seeya::sifone::Angel_anim::smash::driving::coolgleamA:
 
hellooooooooooo

so yesterday went well. I did have some delishous wings and fries at the bar. I do not regret it. Just keep on trucking. Todays eats have been going very well. I am done all the eating for today. Heres the today and yesterday together:

breakfast both days: hb eggs on toast
snack: apple both days
Lunch: Random salad yesterday and today.
Dinner: yesterday wings and fries and 2 beers. Today 4 oz sole a ton of broccoli and baked potato with salsa and bbq sauce.

Ran on the treadmill yesterday and today for 25 minutes at 5.8 mph. It is TOUGH!! I struggle to get through it but I do.

I am really seeing changes in my stomach which makes me soo happy. Everytime I start to lose weight I cant help but touch my stomach all the time. People are going to think I'm preggo hahaha. At least I'm losing weight so it won't make sense haha. I have been on the scale this week after my TOm started. I am down but I won't say how much down till Saturday. But let's just say I am EXCITED for everything! I am craving a lot of crappy food. I have been really strong as to avoid it though.

This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend and I plan to make it a guilt free weekend. I dont want to OVEREAT but I will be indulging in all the Thanksgiving food. I have a Thanksgiving dinner Sunday and Monday. My co-workers want to have wings on Friday. I might agree ONLY because It will probably be a bad week anyways. I'll let everyone know how that goes. Take care ALL.
 
ENjoy your thanksgiving dinner and your wings and then make up for it later with lot of exercise.

Sending you a huge hug!

Laele

ps: by all means do not tell your boyfriend about what happened when you were drunk. I think you would only make him feel bad. If nothing else happened then there's nothing to tell.
 
Hello I am just posting quickly in here and going to bed. The scale this morning read 166.0 which is awesome. I did see 165.6 earlier this week but I went out last night to the club and also had wings and swiss chalet. horrible I know.

Today I have also been eating like shit. I had mcdonalds for breakfast a foot long sub for lunch and a couple random things at swiss chalet (chicken strip and soup) and wehn I got home I had sheppards pie and a piece of chicken parm and I just finished a beer. But this weekend is going to be tough for me. It's thanksgiving weekend. meaning food food and more food. I will be able to eat well tomorrow because I can't have dinner with my family. I'll be at work. I will be working out tomorrow as well as I did not today. Monday will be the bad day. I am going to really try to take is easy with the portions. and of course workout on the mill. I'd be happy to see 164.x this weekend to come and I will really strive to hit that. I am really thinking that wings this week to come will be a no go.. after this weekend I'll need to just focus on getting some weight down for the week.

I'm starting to feel really insecure about my relationship. It's taking a toll on me. I said something that I am fearing he took to offense. But at the same time I don't think hes read it yet. I don't think what I said would have been something worth breaking up over but I just wish that I could see him or talk to him to make sure hes not mad. That's what I'd do if he were here anyways. I sent him a lighter email today just trying to make him feel good. I just hope I am blowing this way out of proportion. I'm going to stop firing him texts asking where he is and shit too. I feel like I'm being needy and annoying.

Anyways thats it thats all. Have a good one folks.
 
Hey! I am trying to catch up with everyone since coming back from vacation. Good to see you're doing well. Congrats on your 5k!! And the weightloss!! Your drunk story reminded me of something that happened to me a few months before I got married. I was at a friend's house drinking and I was stone drunk. At the time my friend was still living at home but her mom and stepdad and all her friends would all get together and drink like once a week. I used to hang out with them and drink a few times a year, so not often at all. But that one night we were all drunk and my friend's stupid stepdad called up this guy that was a friend of a friend deal and basically told him to come over because he should hook up with me. So things got bad and basically I almost had a one night stand with this guy I had never met before in my life. But I stopped it. I have never, ever, told my husband about it. All it would do is hurt him. It was a stupid, stupid mistake, and I never intend to do it again. In fact, the last time I was really drunk was my bachelorette party over 2 years ago. I still struggle with the guilt sometimes...just wanted to let you know I've been there.
 
A warning to everyone who is doing really welll and is affected by people falling off the wagon..



NOW I have fallen off once again. I need to get back into it. I will get back into it. TOMORROW a personal PROMISE to myself that I will run tomorrow and do everything good that goes along with it. All it will take is one good day to get me back on track.

Today I ate Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner. A footlong sub for lunch. And a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. I did not workout. I STRUGGLED to get out of bed. It was horrifying. I hope that waking up semi early today will help me to get up really early tomorrow. I need to get my workout it. It all starts with the workout.

Thats all I really have to say. I will update on my workout tomorrow. I am starting to have a sore dry throat I hope I can outbeat an illness.

Have a good day everyone or night or whatever.
 
Hi lady! Been a while. I haven't been on this forum for some time so I was looking to see if any old friends were around. You're one of the few I remeber. How goes it?
 
Hey adeon, don't beat yourself up so much, you only had a bad day. It happens. Just think about all the good reasons you decided to change your life for, have a healthy breakfast and exercise a bit. You'll be back on the wagon in no time.

Sending you warm hugs from Italy!

Laele
