Love my hubby...but would love to turn a head or two again....

Calories:
Goal - 1200-1550
Today - 1227

Carbs:
Goal - 163-236
Today - 118

Fat:
Goal - 32-56
Today - 70

Protein:
Goal - 60-127
Today - 27

The sample above are my daily allowances based on my SPARKPEOPLE Nutrition tracker. I basicly eat what ever I want...but try to stay in my ranges...with Calories being my number one concern and everything else second.

So how does it fair to whatever food plan or diet everyone else uses? Everyone else seems to eat way way healthier than me. I naturally tend to go high on the fat...and low on the protein....those are some mini goals I am going to work on next....eat healthy more often than not!!
 
Just wanted to say I read your entire diary. You're so inspiring! You've done so much, and you always get back up even if you've hit a bad day. It's great. You look amazing, you can see how hard you've worked.

I've done some photography myself. Those wedding pictures were awesome :) you have talent.

I hope I can do as well as you! I gave up 2 years ago, came back to find my old diary thread, and decided to kick this thing to the curb. I'm like you, wanting so bad to go from 241 to 239! It feels like it's so hard, but I won't give up.

I can't wait to read more from you! Keep it up :).

Btw, I'm thinking of doing Zumba too. It looks fun. I work in video game retail, and we have it for the XBOX 360 Kinect. I might get it for that :)!

Much better on balancing my food today..I give myself an A+ for staying in all my ranges...haha :smilielol5:....well off for a walk soon...you can just smell Fall in the air around here...LOVE IT!! My favorite season..plus football season..its a great time of year!!
 
I think I'm the same way with my diet as you are tete! I try to eat healthier, but my main goal is to just eat within my calorie limit which is around 1400. I think I blew past that today, maybe about 1600, but still not bad. I find I still get to eat a lot of the foods I love, just in smaller portions. Better for me than just cutting things out completely.

Just had half of this chocolate pudding pie type thing. Split it with the guy I work with. This thing was maybe 4 inches long and between 2-3 inches wide and it was 500 calories!:svengo: We both like them, but wouldn't eat a whole one ourselves. So at least It was only 250 cal. Could have been much worse!

Nothing for the rest of the day because of that. Was thinking of a snack later, but just blew that one! lol

I'll be back at it tomorrow.. Oh and that's weigh day for me!!!!! I'm so excited!
 
Lol @ you screaming NOOOOOO when she said she'd tell everybody :D

At least you are aware of your protein/carb/fat target thingies, and your working on improving them :)

Even tho myplate which I go on has that little section that tells you about that stuff, I never look.

I think its definitely worth trying to hit them targets, specially with fibre etc... Cos I went through a few days recently hitting my calorie target, but with bad foods, and I really did feel the difference within myself. If you eat enough fruit and veg you feel better the next day.

Proteins an important one as well. And fat. Arrgghh, they ARE ALL IMPORTANT!! Think I'm going to pay more attention to my intakes of that from now on... Consider yourself an inspiration :D
 
Fleur we sound so much alike..I'd eat a snickers bar or chocolate everyday if the calories are there!! Thats why even if I make goal someday...I'll probably be "skinny fat" hahaha

O My Dear RAINBOW!! you are gonna make me try new things and eat better too aren't you!! thats not a very good friend....ok thats a great friend....but I love my junk!! lol!!

Guess who went on a 2 mile walk with his sweetie today...yes thats right..Mr.Tete...haha....he wanted to say no so bad..but he didn't..I LOVE THAT GUY!!! He even said half way in..."Wow, I'm not so tired anymore"..ummm honey....duh!! Its called excercise!! lol :) :)
 
Oh yeah tete, me too! I know it's not perfect but it seems to be working. Keeps me from going on crazy binges.

Glad you got your fella to exercise with you, that's great!
 
You are doing so great!! After having 3 bad days im not going to lie to you im jealous of you hun!

Well done on getting your man to go for a 2 mile walk with you!!

Keep up the great work deary!xoxox
 
I told you that he would be alright once he got started :)

I find that even eating one little sweet thing gives me such huge cravings. I've found that the fantasies about cake are not quite as great as the reality. I've built it up so big in my head, its almost a let down when I eat it. But, that's just me!
 
Just leaving the FLIGHT 93 MEMORIAL...How a grove of trees and a field of grass can be so moving is beyond my comprehens?ion ....you can feel the thickness of the events of that day all around you here. God Bless you brave men and women of September 11th!!
 
Wow, I bet that was amazing. I just read an article about a 10 year old boy whose parents just recently told him about the tragedy that happend the day he was born. He had no clue. I guess the whole deal has just been a huge part of my life since that day. I was in 3rd grade that day and always come upon reminders of it. I would have thought the boy would have known about it through school, but maybe not.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the experience.
 
I have tried to type what I feel about this, but whatever I say can't put across the sheer enormity and devastation of what happened, all them lives gone.

It isn't just a field, I can imagine how it must have felt. Those people were so brave. Its horrific.

I remember turning on the telly that day like it was yesterday. One plane had crashed (I thought it was an accident. how naive was I?) and I watched as the other one flew into it. Watched the towers collapse. I pray to the universe that nothing that sickening will ever happen again. So many good people were murdered, and for WHAT? It makes me so f*cking angry and upset.

All them families starting normal days... going to work and school, and it ending with their lives over or ruined.
 
I agree Rainbow..putting that day into words....is hard... if not impossible. I am glad we went..my son (the younger one) who wrote that essay left a copy in a frame. It was very moving. Even tho we personally loss no one that day...it will affect us for all of our lives
 
So I walked the "hills" yesterday on purpose ...we live in a very hilly area its easy to find all sizes and grades...I am not sore...but am up 1.3 pounds...I hope its just the fast food we ate yesterday and me being a little swelled.
 
Having a just feel like quitting day!!! To be honest the big picture is hard to see today...this only losing a pound a weeks sucks!!!
 
Hang in there. I've given up so much, I've felt that way so many times, but really if you think about it...one year, maybe a little more is better than a lifetime of regret and feeling cruddy.

Just remember why you're doing this. That little black dress, the feeling that you're in control of your weight, and you have the power to make the changes.

Now, when I feel like giving up, or giving in, I come here and read threads. I take a deep breath, and think of a healthier me.

I hope your day goes better!
 
Ah lovey, we all have days where we totally feel like giving up trying to lose the pounds. But dont ever quit, you are such an inspiration it would be a shame for you to go back to your old eating habits.:):) YOU CAN DO THIS:):). You are just having a bad day.

losing 1 pound a week is still a huge success chick, dont let it get you down that your not losing anything more:):):). The slower it comes off the better. Hope you cheer up soon girl

xoxox
 
catched up on your diary.
I loved those photos so natural and CALM.Thats what i got from them , very very very Well done!!!

As for september 11th i was living in New Jersey right across from NY and i was planing to go under the towers in the morning to shop (there where shops down there , where the train was) but i didnt get up on time and when i woke i switched on the tv, no signal...i made a cup of coffee and then i got a chanel showing the tower on fire.I thought it was a MOVIE...but then i understood...
I run went to find a phone to call back home and tell my family i was ok.
I will always remember that girl.Covered in that grey dust and the white lines on her cheeks from tears falling , speaking on her phone....I was at the pay phone trying to get a line , the phones werent working that time and "rumors" said that ALL airplanes have been grounded and that one more hijacked plane is still in the air...Well there was a noise from the sky like a plane suddenly a man trying to call next to me ,looked up with terror.Its the first time i saw something like that on a human...we all thought it was the hijacked plane...(it was helicopters after all)people around me were so scared....I will always remember that day
And after that the airports closed for some days and i couldnt come back to greece, every time i passed through the tunnels i would close my eyes in fear of blowing up...
I am sorry to say that from that day i lost my faith in God.I was religious before,i used to pray and sometimes go to church, light candles,belive in jesus and everything.
But after that everything fell apart.
i am so sorry for writing all this on here.I got really emotional reading about 9/11.It hurts inside even if i didnt loose anyone i knew.I was there.I could smell the smoke...see the army in NY , looked like a ghost town , all the energy and LIFE was taken away....
i am going to stop cause i fell like crying...

Now for the your weight loos of a pound its better than nothing!i too expect to loose a little more every week but i guess we cant always have huge losses can we!Its supposed to be a bit difficult right>???Not SOOOO easy!!!:)
