Jen's Diary: To 180 or Below...and Maintenance!

Whoooohoooo for the 8 hours of sleep!!! I laughed so hard when you said he had to check on you!! :p And we'll pretend there was no ice cream freakouts.

Enjoy game night! WE are having movie night tonight and instead of pop corn I'm having diet crackers - how delish!
 
Yay for the good night sleep - yesterday I had to put my husband's star wars dvd on to send me to sleep...as i was still up at 2am...star wars did the job as always - no need for pills :)
 
Haven't updated in few days. I fell off the wagon pretty hard due to some pretty shitty days. I think the storm has passed now though, and it's time to get back on track. I woke up this morning with my stomach hurting like hell, because I pigged out on cashews last night. I feel horrible. My stomach hates me... as it should.

I will weigh myself Saturday and see what the damage is. I'm going to guess around 5 lbs. Hopefully a little less than that if I get my butt back in gear. Ugh...stupid emotional eating.
 
These things happen. The best part about falling off this wagon is that you're driving it, so it doesn't go very far once you fall off. It's easy to get right back on.

Or maybe a wagon isn't the right metaphor since horses usually pull it and they can just keep running for hours. And then you wouldn't even know where to go look for the wagon. Particularly if you went unconscious for a second and didn't see what direction they went off to. In that case you may never find it.

Wait, what were we talking about again?

Emotional eating creeps up on us when with a vengeance. But you did it and got re-focused on your goal. That's the main thing. So just start fresh today and eat healthy.
 
Thanks, guys! :)

I had a good eating day yesterday, around 1300 calories. Today is going good as well. I dropped the kids off at school, and then spent the morning cleaning. I also got some potentially sucky news...and did not run to the ice cream and chocolate! yay! Will catch up on diaries tonight.
 
Ending the day at 1324. Two good days in a row. Getting back on track feels good! I'm off to listen to Foo fighters. Have a good night all. :)
 
potentialy sucky news suck. hope they are not that bad - good that you didnt turn to the ice cream!
Well done on the calories!
 
Nice job on the good days. Keep it up and you will even feel more motivated to stick to it.

Love the Foo Fighters!
 
Thanks guys! Well the potentially sucky news is now ...potentially... not quite as sucky. So, that's kind of good news, I guess..right? haha! It's a wait and see thing. Keeping my fingers crossed it's good news!

On the diet front....my calories are good so far today. Tomorrow is weigh-in day. Nervous!

On a brighter note, the sun is shining! YAY! The sun always makes me feel better. :)
 
Jen!!! Congrats on getting below 200lbs! It has been forever since I've logged into this forum. I'm so glad to see that you are doing so well! Keep up the great work! <3
 
Will keep my fingers crossed for the good news. Also love the sun and this winter has been amazing, chilly evenings but gorgeous sunny days.
 
Thanks guys! :) Robyn!!!!!! So glad you're back! :hurray:


Well I'm pretty sure my scales need checked because I was 191.2 this morning!!!! I don't even know how that's possible?! I even checked it several times. Apparently my binge wasn't as bad as I thought? I'm not going to complain about it, that's for sure. I am kind of tempted to go buy new scales though. haha!
 
Nicely done Jen! You are so close to the 100 pounds lost mark AND being in the 180's! Here's wishing you a second wind as you approach the finish line!
 
Thanks, Quercus! :)

Was still at 191 this morning. Today however is my son's 6th birthday, and I baked a yummy chocolate cake this morning. Will do my best to only have one piece of it tonight though! The birthday boy also requested pizza for dinner tonight. Today is definitely not diet friendly..haha!
 
Happy Birthday to your son!!! :)
I just had quite a few not diet friendly days...now i need to hop back on the wagon.
