Kat's weight loss diary

Thanks Moongoddess...you're too sweet!

My day wasn't all that good...I haven't worked out yet...I will, or at least that's what I keep telling myself...my eating today wasn't the best...I was hungry all day...I'm bloated, oh and did I mention I'm moody as hell!!

Breakfast-Oatmeal 160 cal
Egg 100 ?

Lunch- Fried chicken breast (yes, I know...FRIED) 241 cals (I'm guessing)

Snack-100 calorie pack of cookies

Dinner- 6oz of Broiled steak 300 cal??
large yam baked 150 cals?
1 cup of spinich 30 cals

Snack-100 calorie pack cookies (again *sigh*)

I'm thinking that my calorie consumption today was over 1500 calories...without no exercise...I just don't feel motivated today...I'll blame it on mother nature this week :(

I'll be better tomorrow...I'll workout and eat within my calorie range...I'm just not going to beat myself up over it today...I just need a break..even though I feel a little guilty...I'll just let it go...and keep in mind that I need to do better tomorrow....

I really love those 100 calorie packs of snacks....whoaaaa it could get dangerous...haha at least I don't feel like I'm depriving myself now...and they taste real good...

well until tomorrow, hopefully I'll be more cheerful

yeah those 100 calorie packs are getting me through too!

Just accidentally left it on the food network & they did a weddings unwrapped thing & I got sucked in thinking about my sister's upcoming big day & danged if I didn't just about die for some vanilla cake! Tried to fight it off but I caved & ended up satisfying myself with a 100 calorie pack of those Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies. mmmm hit the spot, but now I have to brush my teeth again & am over my calorie range by about 75 calories. Eek!
 
Today was a much better day...but I still did no workout today...I'll do at least 30 minutes tonight...

Breakfast-Wheat bagel with fat free cream cheese-170 calories
1 cup of strawberries-43 cals
Snack-100 pack cookies (god bless them)-100 cals

Lunch-Chicken salad with croutons-310 cals
1 cup of Spinch soup-85 cals

Dinner-Chicken Salad with croutons-345 cals
1 cup of broccoli/cauliflower/carrots with lite ranch-80 cals

I didn't hit 1200 calories...I have 67 calories to spare!! LOL Better than yesterday...

I just do not have the motivation this weekend to workout...I just feel drained...I need to at least get on the elliptical and do 30 minutes tonight...it's just getting on it thats the problem...

I am so happy that this weekend is almost over...I do better on weekdays then on weekends...next weekend is going to be hectic...my son has his tournament for Tae Kwon Do in Seattle, so that means we will be on the run all day saturday...which means the kids will want fast food...oh it's going to be hard!! haha I'll take some healthy snacks, and eat a good breakfast before going there, and take something for myself...I'm really struggling with that idea...my son has been wanting to eat more healthly since I've started to eat more veggies...he has been eating more salads and his veggies...it's my daughter who loves sweet snacks...tryin' to get her to convert will be a challenge!!

well I better get on that elliptical before I change my mind...I'll update this if I make it on there :)

Oh and Thanks Moongoddess, you have been a real motivater and your encouraging words really help...Thanks chica!

It hasn't been the greatest couple of days...I didn't count any calories and to be honest I don't know how much I ate...I did do some exercise...but I didn't push myself....

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day
 
dont worry about it now chick - its in the past now. just learn from it and pick yourself and carry on! concentrate on what you want from the future - not what you wish you had done yesterday
just keep on going - we are all here to help you. work out hard and watch waht you eat and it will all be fine from now on
gogogo! :D
 
Thanks! Sophie.....


wow today really sucked with my food!! I did manage to workout...but I had a cookie...and little bit of fried chicken...haha Damn monthly shit...lol I can't wait until it's over with

I promise tomorrow will be 100 percent better...and I'll workout harder!!!!!!

with that said....goodnight!
 
Hi! Just thought I'd say hello and that you're doing great! It's always inspiring to read how people overcome food- I've always struggled! And I'm starting yet again. Best of luck to you!

Don't worry, breaking the rules sometimes is good, both for your mind and your body. What matters is that you keep healthy habits for the rest of the time. Personally, I allow myself a slice of yummy chocolate cake twice a month: it keeps me happy and doesn't interfere much with my weight loss.

Keep up the good work!
 
looks like you have a great plan Kat! I hadn't seen much about drinking water until a few days ago however ;) make sure you keep that up =)

WAY TO GO!!!
 
just to make you feel slightly better kat - i broke the rules today as well:eek:
bad girl
i was feeling tired and reached for the biscuit tin...
ohohh
lolz
but tomorrfow is a new day and i can put all that behind me
hope your day has gone well
 
The weekend is almost over...tomorrow is my weigh in day...I know for a fact that I haven't lost any weight...last week was just a real bad week for me...I fell off the wagon a couple of times...but didn't beat myself up for it...I realized something today...I usually get real low during this month and in the month of March...especially in March...I guess it kinda ties into my divorce and such, maybe thats why I get so blue and want to eat a lot more...(what a stupid reason to eat ey?!)

This weekend was rough...why didn't anyone tell me that parenting never came with instructions?! I've been so frustrated, and I was proud of myself...I didn't over eat, I just worked out to release some stress...but would have much rather had some pizza instead...but it was good that I didn't eat it and worked out...my son has his tournament in Seattle yesterday, so we were around fast food all day...I didn't cave in...however, we did go out to eat after his tournament...I can't say I had the healthiest meal, but it wasn't too bad...and I didn't eat all of it...had half of my plate...and I brought healthy snacks for myself and my daughter through out the day...and trust me it was a long 8 hours!! I wish I had the energy my son has...he trained for hours yesterday before his fight...just watching him made me tired...lol

What I had so far today:

Breakfast-south beach cereal bar 140 cals

Lunch-special k cereal with fat free milk 200 cals

for dinner I'm going to eat a south beach meal...

I'm not too hungry today...that is a good thing I suppose...I can't complain about that!

I did manage to workout for 45 minutes on the elliptical and I will do 30 minutes of the core ball workout tonight....

oh and I am a size smaller in jeans! how exciting...however they are still fat girl jeans...size 16...but goodbye size 18 jeans!!
 
Today was a good day...I ate right and exercised....I weighed myself today and I didn't lose any weight...still 209, but that is ok...my aunt flo is here and hopefully when she leaves I will see a lil change...

I felt pretty motivated today...keeping myself focused...I just worry about sagging skin now...not looking foward to that!
 
So today wasn't a great day...but it wasn't a bad day...I just made couple bad choices in the food department...ugghhhh...I need to really get on the ball and write down all the calories I consume...I'm slackin'....

As far as the working out...I've been real good lately...I worked out for an hour today...and I decided to try and jog tomorrow and then come home and work out on the elliptical before class...we shall see how far I can jog...haha I haven't done that in years!
 
I weighed myself this morning...jus' to see if any change...and it said I lost 2 pounds...I'm happy with that! So in 6 weeks I've lost 15 pounds...I can't complain...thats 2.5 a week...I'm trying to focus on the small goals...my first goal was to lose 10 pounds and I achieved that goal...so my next one was to lose another 10 and I have 7 more to go!

I've been taking in a little more calories than the 1200 I set for myself...which is working out pretty good...I used to set unrealistic goals for myself...so that is why it always resulted in failure...this time around, I'm more realistic and educated about what goes into my body...I only wish that I did this years ago...but why dwell about then? I'm doing it now!

I tried to run this morning after I dropped my daughter off at school...and yeah, that didn't go too well...haha I did a lap and I was like wtf! and walked the rest...I know I have to build my way...I thought because I can do the elliptical for an hour at a time, I could jog...yeah, that doesn't work that way...I'll try again...my goal is to run 2 miles by July...so that gives me lil' over 4 months to build myself up to it...

I will update this diary after I work out on the elliptical....
 
I have no motivation today! I'm getting frustrated over little things that has to do with weight loss...

so far what I have had to eat

Breakfast-luna bar 180 calories
2 boiled eggs 180 cals (I think)

Snack-triscuits 160 cals

I have had already 33 oz of water and its only 10 am...so I think I am doing good in that department...

I'll have some protien before I work out....I just don't want to workout today...sometimes Im at a loss for how much I should be working out!

I'll be back in a little while to update this
 
I'ts been a rough week...I've been stressed...I have been really trying to be good with food and watching what goes in my mouth...I went out with some friends last night and I had soup and salad for dinner and we went to movies, and I didn't get anything...

People have noticed that I have lost a little weight...which is nice...gives me little motivation...but I just have no desires to exercise right now...I've been a little down...I got a text message from my ex husbands new girlfriend...lol go figure...that's what I needed...to tell me that she is younger and of course skinny...*rolls eyes* why the hell do I even let that get to me?! I admit I wanted to eat some cake...but then after I would have, I would have felt even worse...

I haven't exercised yet today, I plan on it little bit later...I need to switch up my exercise routine I think

well until I post again
 
I made myself work out for 40 minutes on the elliptical...and trust me it wasn't the best of workouts...I didn't want to do it at all...I didn't even give it my all...but I suppose those 40 minutes were better than nothing! I plan to do another 30 minutes later on...

I didn't do too bad in the eating department today...I could have done better...but I didn't do too bad

Breakfast-3 egg whites and 1 regular egg omelette with spinich and 2 slices of cheese...1/2 cup of squash

lunch-4 slices of tofu with cucumbers
piece of apple struddle bread (170 cals per one piece of bread yikes!)

Snack-Garden herb trisket 6 crackers with hummus

Have not made dinner as of yet...

not too bad so far....lets see if dinner will be as good :)
 
I had a pretty decent day...didn't even want to cheat today...I was frustrated last couple of weeks because of my slow weight loss...but I had to put things in prespective and realize that it takes time and it's not an over night transformation (even though I wish it were!)

Breakfast-boiled chicken breast 8 oz-368 calories

worked out-45 minutes

Lunch-6 pieces of trisket crackers-120 calories
3 slices of ham (for protein)-60 calories
1 Tablespoon of Hummus - 30 calories
baby carrots - 25 calories

Worked out for 25 minutes on resistence bands

Snack- Luna bar for women - 180 calories

Dinner- 5 oz of broiled steak - 350 calories
1 cup of butternut squash - 80 calories
1 skinless apple - 40 calories

Total calories for today - 1253 went over by 53 calories...but that is ok!

I will do the core workout tonight

I was going to weigh myself today, but decided not to until the 23rd...I will do my best this up coming week to eat healthy and workout as much as possible

Until tomorrow
