Saw a dietician today... turns out I'm doing basically everything I SHOULD be doing. Eating the right amount of cals, the right kinds of foods... :/ meh. She told me how much fat and protein to be eating, so I'm gonna start counting those, as well. So, now I've just gotta step up my game; work really hard to consciously avoid the bad stuff that I always reach for...I can still eat some of that stuff now and then, but my biggest problem is, and always has been, that I just can't quit, or DON'T quit, I guess. 3 or 4 oreos turns into a half a package without me even NOTICING it, so yeahhhh. NO MOREEEEE!
Saw the physical therapist today, too. He gave me a bunch of different exercises to do at home to use different muscles that support my knees better. He ALSO said that my feet are very flat and I need to get some orthotics :/ meh. Not to happy bout that, lol! I reallllly love my flipflopsGotta do whatcha gotta do, I guess!
Alright, off to the gym to get a good burn in
Hey Jess, Im back and for good. You have to have knee surgery? That stinks, but I am happy you are eating right. I am having a tough time with the diet. Cant quite figure out when to eat and what to eat, but my doctor to is setting me up with a dietician, I am excited, its about time, someone decided to give me a hand. Totally lost on everything. So maybe the dietician will help me see what exactly I am doing wrong and right. Losing weight, ever so slowly, but doing it.
I am really happy you are going all the way... your awesome! You rock!! I am so excited for you
props..Anyway I shall ttylater
I hope your having a good day! and you knee doesnt hurt much. My whole body hurts all the time ..hmm ...do you get that? I think I need to do more, but what, I havent figured out that yet ...but I am going to really try ... and trying is partly staying on this lovely site ..and that is what I am doing ..wrote in my diary .. I am happy you are still chugging along. I was hoping you would be on ...
Well ttylater Jess. I am checking into tonight on my journal tonight, going to make it pretty constant that way I stay on top of the health and weight ..hope to chat sometimes.. have an awesome, spectacular, downright wonderful day!!
cheers

Hey Nat! Glad to see ya on here, again A few weeks ago I hit my highest weight EVER. So frustrating, especially when I still haven't and don't eat fast food or drink pop; and yeah, my whole body hurt all the time then. But as soon as I started getting my sweat on, it started going away and getting better, so just get into it, chica!! You can do this, you've done it before
I'll be by your diary to check up on ya- its been hard for me to get on here as often as I used to since I don't have internet anymore, soooo yeah but I'm still here, and I'll STILL be here for ya!

Sooo. I've been counting cals, fat, fiber, and protein for 8 days now, and I'm down 5lbs. Awesome! Its barely a dent into what I NEED to lose, but its a start, and I'm SUPER happy with it
My workouts have been slooow... I haven't been making it to the gym every night, but I'm still doing the stretches and stuff that the physical therapist gave me, and TRUST ME, that stuff is a damn workout in its own right! However, I DO know that if I were working out harder and more often the weight would be coming off quicker. So. Gotta work on that, lol!
My complaint for the day: I'm watching the biggest loser, the episode before the finale, and I hatehatehate how at the end of the show all the contestants say: "If you want it, do it. If I can do it, you can do it. You can be a champion, blah blah blah." Etc. That annoys the piss outta me! These people are saying "you need to get your butt up and DO it." Ohhhh. SO that first episode where you cried and said "Ican't do it I need famous trainers and the thought of money to win to make me lose weight" was you getting off your butt and doing it?? ugggh. Rannnnnt. I know. But still, we don't all have the option of 8hr workouts, and fridges stocked with only healthy foods, and personal trainers screaming at us. We have jobs. We have bills. We have lives that don't revolve around weight loss. So annoying. lol... does anyone get sick of my rants??!

Okkkk. So today started off terrific. Aside from some minor issues with the company that is remodeling my house, food was great, nice calm relaxing day off, etc. Bout 6ish I decided to go to hobby lobby and get a few things. While getting ready to leave, my deodarant ran out, sooo I said, well, guess I get to go to Target(bout a block away from hobby lobby) and get more! Did my shopping at h.l., went to Target, shopped around a bit, and left. Got behind a car at a stoplight, light turns green, car in front of me turns left, I go to turn left, and BAMMM! A young girl runs the red light and totals my sweet, beautiful, little car so horrible. I couldn't hardly think for a while; just stood there shaking, so amazed. I had seen a blur of red coming at me, so I hit my breaks as hard as I could, and THANK GOD I did, because had I not, she woulda gone thru my drivers side door. Eff. I didn't even realize how bad it was till I got out of the car either... my license plate was 50ft down the opposite side of the street and everything. She came over to me and says, What just happened? And this guy who had pulled over to make sure I was ok practically yells at her: what do you MEAN what just happened?! You ran a goddamned red light! lol. I kinda felt bad for her; but not TOO bad. She wasn't paying attention, ran a red light. Uggh. Hoping my car can just be fixed, and they don't total it out... I literally JUST paid off that car last month. LAST MONTHHHHH. My baby anyway, that led to not eating for quite a few hours, and then I ended up eating a hamburger and fries. Not healthy, well aware. But, at that point I sure as shit didn't care! Uggggh, tomorrow I eat extra healthy I guess. as well as deal with insurance and hopefully getting a rental, etc. And now my whole body aches, all the adrenaline and shock wearing off... I tensed up so hard that my arms hurt... :/
Hoping for a better (haha) day tomorrow; Have a good one everybody!

Sorry to hear about your accident, having been in a bad one my self at the start of the year I can totally understand how you feel. take some time to get over it and expect to be sore for a few days even without major injuries. Good luck with the insurance.

I've been doing soooo good with food lately; sometimes I go over calories, but I AM eating good HEALTHY foods... Until yesterday I ate a bunch of chocolate, and oh.my.god. I thought I was dying! My stomach hurt soooo bad, that I don't think I'll have a big chocolate night for a while, lol!! Today is laundry day, cleaning, etc. I haven't done much in the way of being active today, though. Ugh.

It's been over a month since I posted in here, MOSTLY cuz I just didn't feel like it, haha. But, I've been a big creeper- been on here almost daily reading journals, looking at before/afters... It's nice to see stuff that is super inspirational(and everyone on here is always just that!) and to know that I'll be able to do it, too. October 1st was my official restart date; was at the HIGHEST weight I've ever been So frustrating! But September 30 rolled around, I was getting fatter and fatter, had fewer and fewer clothes, and less and less confidence and happiness everyday. I've done this for enough years to know to not get discouraged, to not let a misstep take me down, to know that more moving and less eating is what accomplishes results. So I started back to the good ole staple: counting calories. Years ago I lost 40lbs in under four months, FELT GREAT!, looked good, etc, but I was only eating 1200 cals per day. Since then I have learned a lot more and know to be more reasonable with everything. So now I'm doing between 1800-2000cals per day. MUCH more reasonable for someone my size, and that way, as I lose weight, I can cut a few cals without going to low.
I'm still, most definitely, very worried about failing, and even being super upbeat can't stop me from feeling that, lol! Annnyway, long story short: It's October 17, 17 days into a better me!, and nearly 10lbs down. I'm happy with that number I believe this month I can drop decent amount of weight, and after that, I'd like to lose up to 10lbs per month. Goal: 110lbs... aack. what a huge number... I know, tho, to look at the small short term goals versus that giant beast of a number I already feel better, have wayyyy more energy, can fit into a few more clothes and am getting happier, day by day
The gym is still something I don't neccessarily WANT to do, but as soon as I get there, I'm there, I'm committed, and I work hard! That's how it is with counting calories, too :/ there are moments when I wanna eat anything, everything, and a little extra, and I occasionaly indulge a little extra, but I just start fresh the next day

Had the day off, stayed within calories(tho the food involved was NOT the best choices), and did a load of nothing!! haha. Went and laid down for a little bit, got up and was getting ready for the gym and then I got this aweful.aweful.aweful. feeling in my stomach/back area... I get it every now and then, its such a weird thing, can't stand up straight,can't bend, can't take deep breaths; so I'm not going to the gym tonight :/ A bit frustrating! Especially since I just took Monday night off. I try to only take 2 nights off a week at the gym, but its looking like its gonna be three this week, as I've got some plans on Saturday night. Frick! Thank GOD my cals were decent today!
Alright, gonna go take some ibu. and go to bed, hopefully this ache/cramp/pain (whatever) goes away before work in the am!
