Katie's Diary

i heard you dont have weights at home? well you can buy some at walmart pretty cheap! thats where i got mine. its been so long since i bought them i cant remember the exact price. different sizes come in different pretty colors, the ones i have are pink! they are just hand weights for curls but thats better than nothing right?
 
that's true... I have a gym to go to while I'm at school but between the semesters I'm going to be back home in Iowa... I may be able to use my brother's high school - he usually goes in to lift and if I'm lucky he can sneak me in =)

crap =P it is so hard not to snack around 2:00 for me... I usually have lunch around noon, and dinner around 7:30 - and that is a long time to go with only one snack - which I usually try to save until about 4:30/5:00... I have a natural break between classes at 2 however, and today ended up eating some chips a friend brought in... I almost considered skipping my trail mix snack - but to make it another 2 hours until dinner will not be good b/c i'll want to eat everything in site... bleh.

What are some ways that you guys hold back cravings? Do you have any suggestions? I could snack at 2 and again at 4:30 if I had something really small both times... does anyone have any snacks that are 100 cals or less, that are really filling?

wow - I had two people comment today on how great I looked! it's strange b/c at school people have seen me gradually losing weight and so it hasn't been so noticable, but there was something about what I wore today (I had on long jeans with high heels - that always helps lengthen you!) that caused people to really notice!

girls - even if you aren't getting comments or people aren't noticing yet - keep with it - THEY WILL!!!!
 
Hey, Katie. Do you like pickles? They are super low in cals and for some reason eating a pickle helps cut your hunger. Alot of diets have dill or sour pickles as a "free food" You can eat all you want of them. I have found if I don't have time for lunch, a pickle will keep me from craving for at least a couple of hours.
