Iwan's Weightloss Journal

Sounds like a great time at the gym! Sorry to hear about your bruise, but good for you for playing vollyball! Too Fun!
 
Yeah, I think I wouldn't have bruised so bad it there wasn't so much weight on me...the bigger you are the harder you fall. Those guys were hilarious, they said they don't usually play with girls because they are too competetive and know all the rules. I said I was neither so I fit in pretty good :)
 
That does sound alot more fun that what I did all day...which was work. =P

And I know your pain regarding chinese food. My husband is chinese so... lol!
 
I used sparkpeople to add up my calories for today and I was only at 1033 after I had my dinner shake. So then I had to have a snack. I feel so proud of myself, I made so many healthy choices I had to play catch up. I love spark people. But I like this message board better:cool: ...lol.
 
Dear Diary, I have been dieting for 11 days now, and its no secret. My boss is activley trying to sabatage me because she herself has recently failed at a diet that she thought would change her life. Today she brought a dozen donuts to the office, and there are only the two of us that work here this week. Talk about shifty.

I can honestly say that I have gone nowhere near those dang donuts. I never liked donuts to begin with, I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I'm more of a savory fat type of person...give me a slab of prime rib rare with garlic mashed potatoes and horsraddish any day. So, instead of allowing her to act like this I took the box of donuts into her office and told her to keep her snacks to herself. There is another lady that works here too that is diabetic and I'm sure if she wasn't out of town she would appreciate my boss's tactics even less then I do.

But, I HAVE WILL POWER!!!:D

And I feel great today, aside from the fact that work is very hectic...I'm taking a sanity break right now in my office with the door closed to record my calories and journal. It helps. I know as soon as I open that office door again all hell will break loose. And I havn't had time for my meal break yet and its 1:30pm, I will probably have to work late into the night. In the past, this day would have been an excuse for huge portions of mexican or pizza, the two closest restaurants the deliver...but today I will make myself leave the office to go home and grab my lunch and eat healthy.

I am looking forward to my cardio workout tomorrow morning and doing some weight training tonight after I get the munchkin to bed. I can't wait till all my herbalife supplies are gone, I can't see wasting the money by not completeing the supplies I have purchased already, but I won't be re ordering since the shakes are packed with fat and carbs that I could really do without. the vitamins are nice though, I may keep ordering those because my skin, hair and nails are really looking nice and healthy. For the first time since I was on prenatal vitamins my nails are growing out instead of breaking and flaking.
 
yay you on resisting the donuts... i'm a savory fat kinda gal myself too.. but if the donuts are there.. even if i don't really cravethem -- i find myself having one.. so good on ya for getting them out of sight and mind...

and boo on your boss fordoing that.. that's just rude..
 
Just out of curiosity I tried on my old wedding ring today, I keep it not as a reminder but because its got a huge rock in it I'll get re-set someday. I stopped wearing it before our big fight that sealed the divorce deal because my fingers were so swollen and fat I couldn't get it on. It fits today. my hands were looking really unpuffy so I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. Now I'm motivated to have it turned into a new ring and erase it's bad juju.
 
Iwan,
I love seeing the tangible results of weight loss!
Get that rock set in something BEAUTIFUL!
 
way cool, now that rock can define another realm of your life, let it signify the new you, all strong and confident, and KUDOS to you for ditchin the donuts.....that'll show yer boss who is really ready for a change, and maybe inspire her at the same time:p keep up the work dude, you rock man. later STAr
 
Hello Fellow Alaskan... good for you on passing up the dounuts! Keep up the good work.

Just curious... are you in Unalaska? My boyfriend lived there for awhile.
 
Yup Alaskangirl, I am in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor. Home of the winds...the big winds...lol.

I want to get the diamond set in platnum, right now its in gold and I really don't like the way gold looks on my skin.

Today I rejected donuts, and then after work I rejected the pizza my mom sent home with my son. two huge slices of olive pepperoni pizza with extra cheese in the garbage with a good spraying with bleach. Sure, its a chemical nightmare but I won't be putting it in MY mouth. Temptation thwarted again. Those sabatours will give up soon I hope...I wonder if I spelled sabatours wrong?

I must get offline and do my weights. I'm oddly enough looking forward to my cardio tomorrow morning. I downloaded a bunch of songs on itunes today and loaded them on my shuffle. I already have a ton of music but for some reason my collection was sadly missing upbeat fast paced motivational stuff.
I downloaded
crazy by Gnarls Barkley
Promisuous by Nellie Fratado
London Bridges by Fergie
Move Along by All American Rejects
Dani California by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hips Don't Lie by Shakira
Wheres your head at by Basement Jaxx
Bread and Butter by The Roots
Sexyback by Justin Timberlake
That new groovy Madonna song, can't remember the name...
and in honor of our Halloween challange I downloaded the soundtrack to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas which is a double bonus because it is my son's favorite movie and he asked to be Jack Skellington for Halloween which means we are having a Halloween Town theamed birthday party for him...YEAH!!!!

Oh, sounds like a great download Iwan!

Good for you for resisting all that temptation :D
 
Okay, I have a problem. I just entered all my calories for the day, after I finished eating dinner here a few minutes ago and I'm only at 933 calories. I still have weights to do and I'm absolutly stuffed to the gills with food (I know bad idea to eat late and then lift right after eating but I worked late and it was totally unavoidable), whats a girl to do? HELLLP!!!
 
Not really, I look at it as something I have to do that is good for me and that motivates me, that and I'm in the stages of developing new good habits to replace my old bad ones. Lifting at night seems like the perfect distration from the munchies...which ironically I don't really need that distration right now. But I feel guilty skipping it, its like reinforcing a negative habit.
 
Another day another triumph over the scale. I try to avoid it, but I can't help myself. When I get done with my cardio I must weight myself. I'm down to 225.5! I couldn't believe it when I looked at the number, I was like...wait...get off the scale, reset it, get back on...225.5:eek: . Thats a 2.5 lbs loss since monday morning. I know these pounds won't melt off like this forever, it will slow down, but WOOOOHOOOOO none the less!!! I've lost a total of 8.5 lbs in 12 days. I think my self esteem is at an all time high. I think I may treat myself to an eyebrow waxing for all my accomplishments, Goddess knows I need it, I'm slowly turning into a unibrow lady.
 
I'm an Unplumping Pumpkin! Yeah, for the Halloween Challenge! I also just found out that I have to drink 112 oz of water a day. WTF?!? I'm going to have to replace my chair at the office with a toilet and have a spiget installed near my desk, maybe a troth too or something, lol. The good part about that though is the more you lose the less you have to drink.

I'm hungry right now. In fact, downright starving. I want a steak. with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans, and GRAVY. But I won't have that. Instead I'm feeding my craving by cooking a low cal stir fry with some beef and peanut sauce (House of Tsang Padang Peanut Sauce...yummers). That should help. I'm eating it over whole wheat couscous. lots of veggies. Good thing I like veggies. I can see why people who don't like veggies don't diet much.

I think I need to invest in a good iron supplement, I'm exhausted and I know its because I need some iron. I bent over to tie my shoes this morning and when I stood up I was treated to little flashing starts in my vision for a few seconds. Any recommendations?

Today I was offered and turned down ice cream cake. I can't say the same for my son who gorged himself silly. My boss again. Who the heck buys an ice cream cake and brings it to an office with one other person it it and that one other person is on a diet. Duh, and now she's bitching because its going to go to waste. Like thats my fault or something.

I need a nap. Its raining out and really gloomy and that just seems to sap my energy and put me in a funk. I need to use my happy lamp, it is getting darker for longer around here. I'm surprised I'm so upbeat and motivated to lose weight when I feel like I could sink into a catatonic depression and stay there till spring, which is June around here.
