kelly's diary

Sounds like things are continuing to go well for you. Great job lady - especially on kicking the night time snackies. And wallking your tushie off every day - that's awesome!

Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks Tigpuppy. Cals today around 1350, walked 4500 steps and felt it in my legs by the end of that. Nice visit with my man. Looking forward to my walk tomorrow. Inch of snow on the ground, bright sunshine and mild temp.
 
I'm watching Food, Inc. on the Passionate Eye and its all about meat packing plants and the largest slaughterhouse in the U.S. killing hogs and I'm about to eat my frozen ham dinner. Uggh.
 
My legs especially my knee muscles and joints are aching today, still tired from my long and longer walks. I am not used to that kind of mileage so today I plan to go to the pool and splash around, i.e. put on some flippers and do some easy lengths, with a focus on just enjoying the water. I know I will end up doing some lengths. As you can tell, I just don't want to kill myself with exercise. I want to rest up so I can get back to walking which I enjoy and I know I will do a lot of. I know I need to incorporate some strength training too and I will work on that.

The scale is creeping down though not enough to change my ticker.

Today I am going to roast a chicken and make mashed potatoes and a little gravy and make up some frozen portioned dinners. Yumm.

Okay, off to read diaries.
 
Meditation on tying one's boots: Öh, God, help me breathe! lol. Anyway, I had a moment while lacing up my boots today. That in itself is a form of physical activity!!!


Well if its 6 oçlock then I must be all cozy on my bed with my laptop postponing supper for an hour. I figure I eat 1200-1400 "Legal calories" a day. I don't know how many ïllegal calories I eat in the middle of the night. Last night I busted open a package of cream cheese and had toast with cream cheese and fruit spread. That in itself wouldn't have been all that bad as far as a few extra calories go but I also ate about 3 slices of pure cream cheese. Oh well. All in all I'm fairly happy with my progress.

Cross trained today with swimming. Legs tired after a while. Later walked uptown and back with a full bag of library books.
 
No the books weren't too heavy but they sure contributed to getting warm while walking.

Have finished my dinner and am working on a big bottle of Perrier.

Food today:

1/2 cup all bran
1/2 cup 1 % milk
small banana

sandwich with 2 slices veggie salami and veggies and pickles
cup squash soup 90 cals

1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/3 cup chicken gravy
chicken leg
boiled rutabaga or turnip

1 pkg peaches and creme oatmeal for dessert

cup baby carrots


I'm satisfied for now. Snack later will be a piece of ww toast with a little cream cheese and apricot spread. Yummy but will really try to stop at one.

Was really impressed by how hard some forum members are working to lose weight. Also by the great personalities I came across. Am looking forward to making more friends here. Like to think WLF time translates to weight loss!!!
 
it is good to see your scales moving in the right direction even if it is slowly :)

thanks for dropping into my diary, I don't get many visitors :)
 
Well,I'm a bit down this morning because of what I ate in the middleof thenight, and how much. Cream cheese. Several knifefuls. My resolve to lose weight and stick with my diet is down. Legs are still tired too. Just having a blah morning I guess. Feeling kind of in the doldrums. Will see what I can make of the day.
 
I did too much too soon. And I still haven't really taken a day off from walking. Today I think I might. My son is coming from Vancouver so I could cook something for him. Have to economize cuz money is tight.

I am consoling myself with the changes to my diet I have made:

Drinking 10-12 cups water a day
Cut out butter and peanut butter
Cut out cream and sugar in my coffee.
4 Small portioned meals a day plus night time snack.
 
Afraid I'm going to blow everything today, feel a kind of paralysis. Am sitting on the couch with a bottle of water where I feel safe. Something is missing. Fighting to maintain food plan for today. If I do it will be a success.

There are things I could do but would rather not. Oh well,another hour in front of the televison.
 
Hang in there Kelly! We all have those days but just remember it'll pass. And if that doesn't work you can always try the gallbladder/liver flush I did last night :X I guarantee you won't have any cravings or want to eat for a few days, lmao. Just kidding....hope you feel better. Maybe a hot bath or some tea and light some candles that smell good? Whenever I have that feeling I just have to find something to relax and occupy my time. The pogo game site is good too :)
 
Thank you Sunflower and Doknowjello. I am taking shelter of WLF today to help me stay on track with my food. I had to go for groceries and it crossed my mind to get a Skor bar but I didn't , stocking up on milk, bread, grapefruit, kiwis and two bags of organic carrots. Going to make carrot sticks and celergy sticks this afternoon.

But I did get lucky so I'm in a better mood. Dropped off some things at the Salvation Army thrift store and found a pair of good jeans in my size. They are 14+ and so comfy, they don't bind anywhere. $5.99, but when I got to the till they were 50% off so for $3.00 I have a comfy pair that will come in handy when I start my new weeding job in a month.

Thank you for your support. It helps to know people are there for you. I will devote my usual time to reading journals tonight and will be sure to stop by yours, you two angels.

It helps to really acknowledge that it is hard work. Richard Simmons on Ellen was really really good today.

Back later forum friends.
 
Victory: My cereal cupboard is finally free of tempting high sugar low fibre cereals, now that my boys are moved out. It took a few months to happen but its here. All I have are two boxes: All Bran and Organic Hemp Instant Oatmeal for my son who is coming to visit. This will be a permanent change that will not only save me money, but will help me lose weight as I avoid keeping tempting cereals on hand. Yeh, I'm seeing good new changes. There's no excuse for not eating right when you live alone.
 
Okay food for today

1/2 cup All bran
1/2 cup 1% milk
sm-med banana

sandwich with veggies and veggie bologna
cup squash soup

1 cup celery and carrot sticks

bowl chicken veg soup no salt


3 oz chicken
1/3 cup mashed potatoes with 2 Tbsp gravy
2 bites sweet potato
boiled turnip

Desert. 1 pkg instant oatmeal, apple cinnamon

Its good to be eating real food but I felt a need for a little more so I had the oatmeal after dinner. Not sure calories but every thing was measured and I think did okay. Am quite sure I will be full for the night which will be a reward of its own.
 
I feel terrible and out of control today. Last night I lost control around midnight and over ate, mostly really good plain yogurt with honey mixed in and a few tablespoons of syrup for something sweet. I also ate a bowl of carrot and celery sticks. Oh yeah, a package of dry Ramen noodles.

My diet must be too restrictive because I feel like straying.

I guess my "binge"was not too bad. I am at least happy that I am not eating peanut butter and butter off the spoon. I actually lay on the couch at midnight munching carrots and celery and that has NEVER happened before.

Any advice on how to proceed is welcome. I have been wanting to lose some more weight quickly. Can't afford the gym right now and i find it so hard to do toning execises on my own in my home.

Click to expand...

I'm guilty of that...lol. My son LOVES peanut butter toast and if I'm making him some, I almost always end up with a spoonful of peanut butter in my mouth...lol. As far as binges go...I don't think yours was too bad. It could of been much worse than yogurt, carrots and celery. I'm not sure how you managed to eat DRY ramen noodles though..lol. You're doing good. I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I am hungry and sitting on the couch. Have been eating plain yogurt with honey and some all bran. Now having a big bowl of turkey vegetable soup. Need to fill up or I'll go crazy.

Feels like another low-key day though it looks beautiful out. I could just sit here though. Will get out for at least a short walk today.
