Alright...let me just start by saying, I know that I am deffinaty not overweight. I dont think myself as fat, or ugly, and am not risking my health to be at my current weight. That being said...I know the weightloss I want is not nessesary...but to my own self esteem, I think it is.
I am a person that has eating disorders of every kind sinse i was very young. Everything from binge eating, not eating, throwing up what I had already eaten, only eating 1 type of thing....if its a disorder to do with eating, i have probably had it.
This past year and a half i have really been trying to overcome the disorders, and i have also started working as a waitress. Working in a resturant took its toll, and gained almost 25 pounds. I have a boyfriend who is very dedicated to looking after his own body, and that has really help me to not relapse into a ED. I have lost about 7 of the 25 I had gained...but i would really just like to lose the rest.
I am a clothes addict, and i really just want to fit into my clothes again!

So there it is....my introduction to my diary...now lets get to my stats.

My boyfriend has refused we have a scale in the house...so last time i weight myself was about a week and a half ago....so lets just assume here...

Weight- 150
Height- 5'8'

I dont have my messurements at the moment, but hopefully ill have them in my next entry!

I know this weight is NOT a bad one, but I would like to get down to my former 135...and if thats unattainable, but 140 would be just awesome as well!

I have already started my dieting and excersising, although is not a very strict or schedualed rountine.

Here are the basics.....
I run/walk for 30 minutes 4-5 times a week
I am also a waitress so i do a lot of moderate walking for many hours most days of the week.

My diet varies....sinse my boyfriend is on a cutting diet right now its helping a lot. My meals usually consist of...
-chicken
-tuna
-humus-
-wraps
-almonds
-whey protine
-bran flakes and milk
-various broth soups
among other things of the same nature.

The only thing i struggle with diet wise is working at a resturant. Even the healthy choices are not very healthy.... I also consume much to much diet beverage, as well as chocolate milk, apple juice, hot chocolate, among other sugary drinks. It has also become a habbit to eat soda crackers with raspberry sauce(which is SOOOO delicious), many times a night when I get bored. I think these habits are one of the major things holding me back in my weight loss, but they are EXTREMELY hard to break.

So the long and short of it is...
current weight- 150
goal weight- 140
ultimate goal weight- 135

time frame- hopefully 2 months, but if it takes longer thats alright

Any comments would be much appreciated! Anything i should add to my excersise routine? what are good SIMPLE strengh training things i could do? Any good ideas to spicy up chicken without adding too many calories?

Thanks!!! -katlynk-

Good day, thus far.....

Although it is only 11 in the morning, the day has started off realy well!

Breakfast:
1 apple
1 banana
1 cup coffee with sweetner

Snack:
8 almonds

I must have ate something with amazing dieretic power yesterday, becuase without going into detail, my body seems to be emptying itself out. This doesnt sound so awesome...but, as long as im not getting sick, and i didnt take any chemical dieretic, i think it is good for the body to cleanse itself on occassion.

I will be going for a run shortly, probably within the next hour or so.

I work tonight, but i will probably be editing before i go...just to add intake.
I am not looking forward to work tonight, i really dont want to binge on stupid resturant food. I work 6pm-till 2am, so im going to have to take some almonds and a protein shake to keep me from eating those delicious soda crackers! :drool5:

.....

Lunch:
chicken wrap (pickels, chicken, spinach, hummus, olives, italian dressing, and wrap)
cottage chesse (1/2 cup, with pepper)
20 almonds
diet lemonade


I also had 2 pink mints at 10 calories each.

To my boyfriends dismay, i bought a scale today. but i promised i would only weigh myself once a week.
Todays weight was 147!!!!! yes!!! down 3 pounds from my last weigh in!
next thursday (febuary 29th) is my next weigh in...my goal is to be 145!!!! that would be so awesome.

i work at 6pm, i have to have a break at work, so im just going to have a tossed salad with chicken breast, and a rasp vingerette. Hopefully i dont indulge in to many beverages besides water! im gunna really try not to! wish me luck!

New day...

So last night at work went really well!!!
I had a salad with chicken, tomato, olive, lettuce, and salsa.
I also took a snack of an apple and a handfull of almonds.

i didnt eat anything here other then my snack and my supper! there were twist bread that the staff were eating, and it took every ounce of my strength NOT to eat them! all i drank all night was acouple cups of coffee and lots of water. pretty good :)

Today is starting off good!

Breakfast-
1 cup coffee (with milk and sweetner)
1 apple
1 banana

I am going to go for a light excersise soon. My ankle hurts today, so i might lay off the running...I dont really want to, but i dont want to aggrevate my ankle any more then it is either.

I will update later this afternoon before i go to work!

.......

I did end up runing, and sadly...my ankle still hurt. :p

Lunch-
hummus
veggies
almonds
cottage cheese

pre work-
soup

I ended up having a not so good night at work. It was really busy, and 2 people called in sick so i stayed till close.
this resulted in

1 chicken salad (with twist bread, and creamy dressing)
5 spoons of chocolate explosion cake
1 peice of bandera bread
1 bite of brute sandwich
and finally, 1 gladiator.

Oh man....i ran around a lot. but i still felt like crap after....


Today, my boyfriend wanted a cheat meal, so i ended up having half a cinnamon bun and a fruit cup.
I am going to take snacks to work tonight, so i dont eat anything there. I can't have anymore junk for the entire week.
On top of all that, I am taking the day off running today, so i have to try and be really good for the rest of the day!
I am not weighing in untill next thursday, for fear that yesterday has set me back, and i dont want to dissapoint myself

wish me luck!!!

Last couple of days...

It has been pretty rough the last couple of days.

After work 2 nights ago, my ankles were swollen so badly i thought i had an infection. I didnt go to work the next day, and have been lieing around ever sinse. I didnt want them to get worse, so today will be my 3rd day without running. I have to do some cleaning so that will be some excersise, and i think i might go for a light walk later.

My eating the last couple days has not been too good, but i havent eaten to much either.

I weight in at 145...so thats pretty good!

I am going to try my best to keep my diet really good for the rest of the week, because i work all week, and i dont want to over do it with walking and running. I dont want my ankle to act up again.

hopefully i dont gain!
 
Yikes...

So I had to work an 8 hour serving shift today, and it did not go well. First of all, i had 2 twist bread...which doesn't sound so bad, but i have been trying to stop that habit.
My ankle still hurts horribly today! if it doesnt stop hurting by friday, I am going to go to the doctor and get it checked out. I really dont want to have to, I hate the doctor. Mostly just the waiting.
I really want to start running again! I know this is days away tho, sinse walking today really hurt :S

this was what i ate today...

started off good....
1 protein shake
1 yogurt

then bad...
2 twist with dip, bowl of soup with noodles and crackers, and 1 spinach salad with dressing.

i had many cups of tea, and 1 cup of choco milk

8 almonds
1 yogurt
1 apple

1 cup hot chocolate
1 yogurt
1 bowl cereal
14? conversation hearts! (these things are killer and i really need to throw them away)....

I deffinalty need to improve tomorrow if I dont want to gain.
Its not that i ate alot, the amount was fine, i just need to eat better is all!!!!!
 
Getting better...

So the last couple days have been better.
I havent started running yet...I am tomorrow. But i have been eating pretty well.
Today..
2 fruit cups (160 cals)
protein shake (300)
chocolate milk (100)
2 yogurt (80)
bowl of soup (150)
= 790 cals
I will probably have another meal, and a snack. So I will probably be sitting at 1200-1300 cals today. I usually eat more, but i wasnt all that hungry today, and i didnt excersise.
Tomorrow I plan on running. I am hoping to run every second day until i go to mexico. while in mexico i will probably do a little cardio. mostly swimming,
neways! imout!
