Iwan's Weightloss Journal

Iwan, what kind of painting do you do? I do watercolor; haven't touched it in a while, but I just bought some new brushes, I hope to get it out again.:)
 
you have a meat section at your store!?! j/k. my burger came from the restaurant across the street from me. The patty was pretty thick so when I entered it on spark I added it as a double and it came to about 460 cals. considering I had only managed to consume about 500 at that point I was not feeling too guilty...but afterwords I was just because I was grossley full and uncomfortable. Then around midnight I commited the cardinal sin. I had a pria bar, 110 cals. but when you wake up in the middle of the night with a chocolate craving...I didn't manage to fall back to sleep until 4:30am but I got some paperwork done for da boss lady.
today I'm at about 280 cals so far, its after the noon hour and lunch should be just around the corner...now if I could just find that corner.

I've 3 bad dinner buffets continuously this week. But i am still weighing and gettin the exercise in! A few bad meals/cravings won't hurt if u continue your workout. Cheering u on!:D
 
Very true. I couldn't have lasted this long without everyone.

That's the same for me too.
The first 19 pounds, and 19 weeks, I did not have any support. Then I joined this forum.

My family didn't notice until after I had lost over 25 pounds.

Without this group forum love, I don't know if I would have made it this far.
 
Bad day. My uncle died this morning. I have a family dinner to discuss who is going to pay for who's tickets home for the funeral and who's is going to stay at who's house. This wasn't unexpected, he has been sick for about a year, but it is still painful to know he's not with us anymore. He was a good guy. So in order to eat healthy at said family function I'm making three of the dishes, grandma is doing the rest and grandpa is diabetic so she cooks pretty healthy (sugar free anyways, but not low fat). So far I've only drank a 12 oz skinny sugar free hazelnut latte, but I'll snack before dinner, probably snack all day lol.
 
Oh Iwan, I'm sorry to hear of you & your family's loss :( Even when a death is expected, it's still painful.

You're in my thoughts,
 
Sorry for your loss. I just checked in and said hi! Didn't read through your diary. Had no idea what was going on. I am so sorry. Hope your holding up ok!
 
alright, today is okay. I did cardio for 45 minutes this am, burned 599 (?) cals...yeah, not rockin the elliptical today, I was really slllooooowwwwww. Then I had to go and do some heavy manual labor in the rain in my yard. Now I'm going to clean the house. So far I've had 430 cals, I had some coffee with non fat milk, a pria bar, and for lunch I had a nice tomato basil feta salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. Good! I'm very tired and I think its because the rain outside...its like a monsoon out there. Drab, very foggy. very....downer-like.
 
Last night I was a bad girl. A very bad girl. We had king crab for dinner, nothing else just king crab and butter with garlic. Lots and lots of butter. Oooooh, just thinking about it almost makes me sick, because I ate till I was almost sick...lol. So if I gain 10 lbs between yesterday and tomorrow I'll know why. I probably ended up with about 2000 cals yesterday. I'm a bad bad girl.
I'm sorry I've been neglectful of everybody's diaries. I've had very little computer time in the last few days, especially since my friends mom is staying at my house. I can't concentrate on anything when she's around she talks non-stop. I'm a quiet person, I like silence. A little silence between friends is not uncomfortable to me, but she just fills every minute with a non-stop string of what I call her thinking out loud. so if I'm sitting in front of the computer trying to read or type she's just talking and talking and talking. Its really annoying.
and on top of that since I'm dieting she has decided she is the diet expert and tries to give me advice. I hate unsolicited advice especially if its diet oriented. I know what I'm doing, obviously its working so leave me alone. She leaves soon back to her home in oregon and I wont be sad to see her go. Of course as soon as I get her out the door I have like a week and then my ex's mom is going to be here. I've scheduled myself to be in anchorage for a week in october. That will give me a break from my real life...lol.
After last night I am going to be very strick with my diet. So far today I've had coffee, everything else will be veggies unless I have a sudden craving for protein, then I'll get out the secret weapon...tofu.
 
I want crab... dang your supper last night makes my lunch with freeze dried "crab" bits look like cat food..lol.

I know what you mean about the quiet thing. I am the same way. Very quiet... a lot can be said with a little silence. I have a friend that's the say way... her nickname is Chatty Cathy. lol
