hey venice girl, hey michelle :) had good day yesterday. except for four cup cakes i had for snack lol. but i have that time of the month and couldn't help it lol.

so yesterday i had:
breakfast: kellogs specuial k w low fat yogurt
snack: four cup cakes
lunch: chicken breast sandwich

today:
breakfast: whole wheat bread , one slice with 3 slices of ham , and one slice with sugar free plum jam
lunch: don't know yet, probabily, whole wheat pasta with tuna and tomato salsa
dinner. won't have time for it lol

anyway, i'm coming home from work around 3.30, 4pm and leaving at 5.15. i'm going to friends openning of her hairdress salon, and then to a rock concert.. so i don't think i'll have much time to eat dinner.
 
Don't go without, make sure to snack on something good for you, but avoid the fats and fibers, if you're going to a concert!
Have a good time!
 
the thing is i'll have lunch at 4 or 4.30. after i eat i'll leave home, and i won't be able to stop and have dinner. maybe i'll manage to buy subway sandwich somewhere. but i'll be back to my normal routine tomorrow so one day won't kill me lol
as long as i don't binge

well, i went to my aerobics yesterday. after not being there for last 8 days i felt like a complete beginner lol. and my instructor also set up a really hard pace lol. but it felt soooooooo good. can't wait for monday.

i'm at work now...going grocery shopping after..and later this evening i'll probabily go out with Tina. Girls gotta have fun right? lol
i noticed i feel much more concentrated lately, and i don't sleep after lunch anymore (used to do that for some time). i'm really starting to notice the real impact of this lifestyle change. i have energy like i'm back in highschool :D

hope you're all having a great day today :)
Lena
 
I used to sleep after lunch too, but now that I eat less and better I feel much more energetic.

Have a great night out with the girls!
 
Hi Lena! First, I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your reply in my diary, and that I look forward to helping you in any way I can aswell.
I was reading some of your earlier entries, and one thing popped into my head. I am an emotional eater too, and I have noticed that when I stop blaming myself for slip ups, I am more focused the next time because I dont already have that 'failure' feeling. So just remember that it was just one time, and every meal is another chance to get further to your goal. So if you overeat once, so what? You know it makes you sluggish and whatnot, but dont beat yourself up, dont let yourself feel guilt. Just take the next opportunity, which is just the next time your body is hungry, to honor yourself in a healthy way! :)
You and I are similar in alot of ways, I think.
 
:( i feel guilty now...i just had 2 pieces of chocolate cake. i was so nervous all day. i had a bad day at work and that stupid worm in my head prevailed. that stupid thing. i bet he's laughing somewhere in my subconscious as i write this. I HATE YOU YOU DAMN THING!! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

britta you're obviously a telepath...but how can i escape the guilt?? i'm so NOT proud of myself right now.

good thing i'm going out tonight...to unwind a bit. i'm really stressed out right now. i'll probabily be fine in about 15 minutes but now i just feel like complaining and being angry at myself for slipping like this.

so my food today:
breakfast: kellogs special k w low fat yogurt
snack: 1 medium apple
lunch: polenta w sauce bolognese
snack: 1 piece of chocolate cake
dinner: one small sandwich with turkey ham and 2 slices of cheese, and 1/2 tea spoon mayo
dessert: another piece of chocolate cake

+ i'll probabily have few drinks tonight

really not a great day foodvise
 
Ok, so you had a bad moment. You did not eat the ENTIRE cake! Forgive yourself, and take it one meal at at time. Focus on feeling good. If you can just look forward to being proud of NOT slipping up at the next meal, you will have such a great feeling of accomplishment. It's really hard, and I understand SO much! But just look at your signature! You are determined to succeed girl, so you WILL find a way to stop feeling guilt. That guilt is just bringing you down.
Just like you wouldn't put up with a friend telling you that you cannot succeed, dont put up with that worm. That worm comes up in EVERY aspect of life, and the more you tell it to F off, the more empowered you will be, and the quieter it's voice will be...
As for drinks...I like to have drinks about once a week too...I dont even pay attention to how many calories are in them, but I try to stay away from the sugary ones.
Have some fun tonight hun! You are doing absolutely great!!

i just can't thank you enough for saying exactly the things i need to hear. i gave in today but i did manage to keep that worm quiet for more than a month. so that's good.
you're right, the more upset i am more that thing in my head is going to ask for more. so i'm gonna be really rude to it right now and tell it to F*** OFF! I DON'T EVER WANNA HEAR YOU AGAIN...YOU STUPID MF!

there :D
 
Oh you ate polenta today! Do you know it's typical Veneto? (where I live) Other people in Italy call us Polentoni (meaning polenta eaters) LoL

Don't be so hard on yourself for your chocolate cake, chocolate is a necessity when you're stressed ;) It's not like you've been eating chocolate cake everyday!
Just exercise a little bit more tomorrow.
 
lol there you go! And also, if you can spare a few moments, go for a 10 or 15 minute walk...It may lift your spirits, and if you are feeling really full, it will help you use some of that energy. I know that when I am going out, I hate feeling full. You are sooo on the right track, and just remember that you want to feel good after you lose this weight right?? Well, why not feel good along the way? Focus on the good stuff. The bad things arent so bad, but the good things are sooo incredibly good!
