Jaclyn's NEW Diary

Thanks for all the support girls!

I hauled my butt around school all day, up and down stairs and all across campus. The good news is I got some exercise. The bad news is I'm so tired.

I still only have two classes and I'm desperate for at least one more, but its hard to say if I'll be able to get one or not.

I got summoned for jury duty! Ugh. And my job doesn't pay for time off due to jury duty, so if I get chosen I'm totally screwed.

I'm so so tired.

Yesterday:
Breakfast:
2 Kashi Waffles with lite syrup (190)
Orange Juice (50)

Snack:
Peach (40)
String Cheese (80)

Lunch:
WW Pizza (390)
Fat Free Pudding (100)
Orange (60)

Dinner:
Roasted Veggie Wrap (400)
Mashed Cauliflower (150)

Dessert:
Apple and Cherry Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream (200)

I have to eat dinner and dessert and then I'll write out today.
 
I'm already stressed over school and I don't even have a set schedule yet. Today the stupid hold committee will decide if I can sign up for upper division courses. The good news is that I weighed in at 173.5. I'm not going to post that officially though, until it stays there. Throughout the course of a day it still goes up to 176. Anyway, here's yesterday-

Breakfast:
Slim Fast Granola Bar (220)
Orange Juice (50)

1 slice pizza (250)
Salad with Balasamic (150)

Dinner:

2 slices of watermelon (50)

Dessert:

Wow, you really are doing great! What an inspiration!

Sorry your stressed about school, it will get better I promise!
 
Thanks guys! I'm still stressed about school. I probably always will be.

Here's yesterday-

Has the hold committee gotten back to you? C'mon, we're on pins and needles over here! LOL
You are working so hard... and it is showing on that scale!

Oh man, Scrappy! I can't believe you remembered! The hold committee approved my appeal--however, I wasn't able to get anything, and now classes are closed. So it was all for nothing. :(

Also, Dan is driving me insane. I don't know why, but everything he's saying and doing is annoying me, and I feel really bad about it. And then Eric started seeing this girl, and that bugs me. AND, the cute UPS guy who picks up the boxes at work left a UPS pickup sticker on my computer and wrote "hello." Another time he left me one that says "what's up?" Someone told me he asked if I was here yesterday, but I was off. Ugh. But I like Dan and I don't want to hurt him. I'm so confused. Yesterday I was talking to Eric about Dan (for those of you who don't know, Eric is a good longtime friend who recently confessed his love for me) and he was like "just dump him and marry me." But then I talked to him today and he told me he went on a date with a girl and liked her, and its irking me. Ugh. I'm better off alone. When I was fat I didn't have to worry about this.

So, food was good today. The scale said 173 this morning.

Breakfast/Lunch:
Egg Beaters (60)
Veggie Bacon (60)
Orange Juice (50)

Snack:
Kudos Bar (120)

Dinner:
Portobella Burger with Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Aioli, plus salad (500)

Snack:
Mango (70)

Dessert:
WW Cookie Ice Cream (140)
 
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be dating again... NOT! I don't envy you at all. Love is such an ugly business! I remember when dh and I had reached the point where everything he said and did drove me nuts and I was just weeping to my roommate, "Why can't I date you? You don't make me insane?" Whats that expression? Men, can't live with 'em and can't shoot 'em!
Sounds to me (and, hey, it isn't like you asked me...) like you want to play the field a bit. But, then again, you don't want to hurt Dan (didn't hear the L word here...) and let's not forget about Eric, whom you've loved forever.
Yup, I'm not jealous!
Congrats on the 173. How's the exercising going?
If you couldn't get into the classes, does it mean you have a light load this sem?

Hey Girl! I am so sorry you are having problems with school. I completely understand. I am supposed to start school on Tuesday, but can't go because of my stupid leg. I have contacted my professors but only one has got in touch with me, and he doesn't seem to sympathetic. He basically just told me to not miss more than 2 days, total, all semester. How nice of him! I must say I am not jealous of your dating joys either. I have been married for 11 1/2 years and wouldn't even know how to handle myself in the dating scene these days. :rolleyes:

Anyways, you are doing really good with your food. Keep up the good work!
 
Haha, thanks for the encouragement everyone. I just don't know what I'm doing. I seriously never got to really date or have boyfriends until I lost all this weight. I had a few "whatevers," back in high school and my first years in college, but nothing serious--the longest lasting one was just using me. I went out with Dan and his co-workers for dinner tonight and at first he was annoying me, but by the end of the night I felt ok. But I know I won't stay okay. It's so weird. Like I said, I was better off when I was fat.

Breakfast:
Golden Grahams with Banana in Skim (150)

Snack:
Kudos Bar (130)

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Fettucine (270)
Apple (70)
Fat Free Pudding (100)

Dinner:
Veggie Sushi (300)
Miso soup (50)
Garlic Mushrooms (50)

Dessert:
WW Peanut Butter Pie (190)
 
hey, looks like you're doing ace with the healthy eating!

i love the look of your food diary, wish i liked so many things lol i am just so damn fussy - i do keep trying things again but i still don't like them (most things...salad, most vegetables, spicy food, anything with funny textures...!)

your desserts sound gorgeous - is WW for weight watchers? i'v had their ready meal things before but never tried the desserts, they taste as good as they sound??

keep it up anyway, just a note from a newbie lol!

lerato.
 
AWWW, my heart goes out to you funnky!! Men suck, I don't care what stage of dating you are in, lol. I've been living w/ my hubby for 8 yrs now (ouch, that makes me sound old) and as much as I love him, I equally can't stand him, lol. If you don't really have great feeling for Dan, you should leave him, life is too short to spend w/ people you don't love.

Your doing so well w/ your diet!! Keep it up hun!
 
Hey girl ... First of all, I hear ya on being stressed - school hasn't even started yet (starts tomorrow) and I already amd stressing about it of course, and I hate it !! It's gonna be a killer semester ... Ughh ... I'm sorry you coudln't get into those classes. Bummer.
As for the boy situation - I know EXACTLY how you feel. My ex is the SWEETES, nicest, caring, etc. guy I have ever met but towards the end, I found myself being annoiyed with him and just picking fights with him over the smallest things. I know that you like him of course, it's just that they can get annoiying sometimes ... do you think it could be becuase you are curious about other guys and getting kind of antsy? I think that was what my deal was. BUT on the other hand, my best friend was feeling like you and I and everything her bf did and said just annoiyed her and it ended up just that she was in a little slump becuase ehs had so many things going on and was stressed and going through some family issues .... so it could be that it has to do with your stress about school.
The UPS guy ... woo hoo !! I think someone has a little crush on you ;)
It almost sounds like Eric is telling you about his date to somewhat make you realize that he isn't just waiting and whatnot even though he confessed his love for you .... maybe he is jelous you have someone and now maybe he oculd be trying to make you jelous that he went on a date? Hmm ... ?
 
Thanks for checking in on me you guys! Welcome to the club, Lerato! The WW does stand for Weight Watchers, and their desserts are awesome. They're in the frozen food section at grocery stores-you should check them out!

Oh Korrie, you know I'll figure it all out. And you're not old!

Emma, I think that I might be in the same situation as your friend. I'm just so exhausted sometimes, between school, work, and trying to pass the CLAST. Before I was with Dan, I was used to having my free time to myself. I've never really been with anyone seriously before, so I think it might be a timing thing. I'm hoping that my feelings will blow over, because he really is a nice guy. And then, with Eric, we've just been friends forever. I don't think he's trying to make me jealous, I think we both have grandiose notions of each other and think we want to be together, but know it isn't a good idea right now. It's just weird for me to have attention from so many different men. I'm not used to it and I think it's freaking me out a bit.

I went to the gym today! I did the elliptical for 20 minutes, and then I did some free weights and crunches! I also saw my tutor and Dan and I are making pizza tonight.

Breakfast:
2 Kashi Waffles (200)

Lunch:
Veggie Chicken Nugget Salad w/honey mustard (400)
Watermelon (100)
Soy Chips (160)

Snack:
Kudos Bar (100)

Dinner:
Homemade Pizza! (500)
 
Well I think yo uare right ... you have so much going on in your life and having a guy in it does make it much different than just you and what you were used to. The feelings will pass ... he sounds like a great guy :)
Good job on the exercise :)
 
Hey Angela, I know that I'm not better off, I was kidding about that. I'm so much happier with myself now than I have been in years, and I'm really proud of my accomplishment! Even if it did cost me a gallbladder.

Dan came over last night and we had homemade pizza and I felt fine. I think that sometimes I start to panic about having to care about someone else, since I'm so used to being alone. Also, I've been having frequent "lady problems" since I met him (utis, yeast infections, ect.) that I wasn't getting when I was single, and those made me REALLY moody and nasty. And I guess I pin the blame on him, even though it isn't his fault. I was getting so annoyed with him last night because I made the pizza and I was starving and waiting for him and he was taking forever to get to my apartment and then when I opened the door he had bought me flowers and I felt like such a jerk. I have to stop being so uppity about everything and just relax.

So, my homemade pizza ruled. I'm sure it was higher cal than I should have had, but I made it with Publix dough, skim mozzerella, pizza sauce, mushrooms, tomatoes, red onion, and veggie pepperoni! It was awesome.

Dan snored all night and I had to get up and go to sleep in my roommate's bed because she's out of town. Man, I can't believe the neighbors didn't wake up.

I'm very tired now, and stuck at work all day. LAME!
 
You just ROCK !!! Seriously ... you have men chasing you !!! Good lord !! haha* Dan sounds great :) And that is SOOOO cute ... flowers, awww. How I miss having a boyfriend hehe* But I do know where you are comming form ... from being alone and caring about yourself and now you have someone else to consider - it is a huge change. And yeast infections ... .my GOD ... they are enough to make any gal CRAZYYYYY!!!! Ughhh.
hahah* He's a snorer ? lol So is Jason ... drives me nuts because he's having a good ol time sleeping and i'm laying WIDE away TRYINg to sleep haha*
Your pizza sounds amazing .... yum :)
Have a good day at work ... You'll get thru it :)
 
I'm so glad that the forum is so busy! I remember a time when my diary never even made it halfway down the first page. Good job everyone! I hope everybody is enjoying the forum!

So, yesterday I was in the restroom at work and another girl, who is quite heavy, from another department came in and when we were washing our hands she looked over at me and said "Do you mind me asking how you lost so much weight? You look incredible!" I was so flattered, especially since that department and my department are always in cahoots for some reason. I told her about the dieting and exercising, which no one is ever too happy to hear, but that's the way it is. That's the only way to lose weight healthfully and keep it off. It's always such a great success when someone you don't really know but see often says something. Yay!

I'm getting my hair cut today and I'm thinking of getting something different. I hope it comes out ok. My hair girl rules, and I trust her.
