Katie's Diary

With scales I think even the good ones can vary in reading. My doctor has a stand up scale and a floor scale, and they vary by a few pounds....so if the scale you are using is a not a top quality one I dont think it really matters ,...I think what is important uis using one scale to show you how your weight is goin over time....going up or going down. 170 to 165 or 168 to 163...says the same thing ...ya lost some weight!
 
just wanted to drop in quick and say that you are doing great and more concious about food choices. we are gonna have mess ups. i have very recently and it took someone pointing things out for me to realize yeah, that's right. as for feeling tired today, it's ok to skip a day on exercise but just don't get to where you start not doing it more and more till eventually you aren't doing it at all. you can do this! tomorrow hope you will feel better.
 
Weighed myself this morning... 167 !!!!!

Spinach Bagel with Sundried Tomato Cream Cheese (350?)
2 cups of green tea with sugar (30)
32 oz of water!!!!

h2o

Dinner:
steamed broccoli (25)

h2o

Party:
1 glass of wine (160)
various goodies... i have no idea how many calories!!!

Total Calories: 970 before the party...

Exercise: 5 sets jumping, 25 upper abs, 25 lower abs, 15 lunges/leg, 25 pushups
I feel damn good after working out tonight!!!!

Okay... tonight was a night of huge dilemma for me... I am going to a party, and i want to drink... so i should have factored that in with my food choices earlier... i shouldn't have eaten the cupcake, but i did... so then i was torn whether i should eat dinner and just have a goodie or two at the party, or skip dinner and save my last calories of the evening for the party. In the end, i compromised... i had a very light small dinner here, and then saved some calories for the party... where i know i won't know what i am eating. so, two days with over 1200 calories... i need to do better next week if i want to get some of this weight off by hawaii!!!!

At one point i said i would only weigh myself once a week, but i have kind of gotten in the habit of doing it every tuesday and friday... so i looked at the scale this morning, after not loosing anything on tuesday... and it said 164!!!! I am so excited! But i'm also a little worried about this weekend. My boyfriend will be here in about 8 hours, and he loves junk food, soda, fast food, all that crap (and is about as skinny as a rail). I also don't want to waste any of our time together working out, so i'm going to have to motivate myself to do it! So i'm hoping that he will be able to help me make healthy decisions and try some good food!

Breakfast:
honey nut oatmeal (170) - pantry FULL of this stuff....
orange juice (100)

Snack:
half of a spinach parmesean bagel w/ light sour cream (175)
cup of green tea with sugar (15)

Lunch:
subway 6" turkey on wheat with tomatoes, green peppers, pickles, lettuce and fat free honey mustard sauce (310)

Dinner:
grilled chicken breast (283)
baked sweet potato with butter (200)
mango/raisin chutney (150?)
green beans (34)
2 slices of bread (120)

Total Calories:1557
Total Water:56 oz of water

Exercise: walk 30 min to and from school

I suppose I would have had less calories at dinner had I not eaten both baked sweet potatoes that were given to me, or hadn't eatn both chicken breasts... it was a huge serving, but i neglected to eat my snack in the afternoon, so i was very hungry - and the food... it was fantastic... it was a great evening out to celebrate my relationship with my boyfriend =)

very bad day for me... the whole trying to make things be healthy didn't work so well this weekend. I got breakfast in bed - a huge breakfast - a little after noon, and then knew i was going out for dinner and bowling with friends. Having only one beer instead of two would have been helpful, but this was the only time this week... I'm going to have to work out extra this next week to get some of these extra calories off!
