Miss Princess's diary

Thanks MJB, I don't mind you taking over my diary, I like all the info!

I'm still at 207 this morning, and I worked out a lot this weekend (I think) but Saturday I also ate a lot. I'm toting along some borrowed willpower this week, so maybe I can do well (say "no" to the people who would feed me non-nourishing crap food). I don't know what else to say right now since I'm trying to just sort out what's holding me back. I either have a mental or physical (or both) block to getting past 205, every time I've gotten near that weight, something always happens to screw me up. In reality, I'm what always happens, but I want to blame some intangible fate instead of taking responsibility for doing this tough job.

I'll try to work on that.
 
Come On Lets Get Past That 205 You Can And Will Do This So ******kick*********** ~~~~~~~~~push~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Thanks Tina, I need the push! I'm trying, I swear! I just don't know what keeps happening to me. I'm within 20 pounds of my final goal and I keep getting hung up! It's really frustrating. Plus people are really sabotaging me now with the extra food. They're literally saying (in the same BREATH), "wow, you look great, you've really lost weight", and "here, have a donut". It makes me so mad!

I ate salad instead of pizza today, that was easy though because I purposely bought a kind of pizza I don't like and a kind of salad I do like when shopping for the lunch bunch.
 
Hey, good for you for getting that pizza that you don't like! You are going to get to your goal soon. :D I wish I was only 20 pounds from my final goal. :rolleyes:
 
well done with the lunch, 20 pounds to go is great work, you will be there in no time :)
 
Morning Miss princess, good going on that pizza choice. Easier when it's something you don't like. I bet the reason why it's getting hard towards your goal is that you don't have as much fat to loose, so it's being stubborn. Keep it up and Drink your water!
 
If you're stuck with the weightloss, you could always try the ol' switcheroo! Go 3-5 days high calorie (like 500 more than usual at max), and then go back to the regular calorie intake and RUN HARD from all that fat! Well you don't have to run, you could bike from it too ;)

The point is to increase your metabolism with the extra food, then pull the food out from under yourself and push a bit harder on the cardio/workout front.

Good luck!
 
Don't you think I would gain during the 3-5 days of extra food? I would worry about that. If I could just stick to it without slipping up for a couple more months I think I could get there. I'm at 206 today (and yesterday), I'll have to change my ticker. That just gets me back to where I was before I gained that stupid pound during my 2 weeks off. I wanted to drop 7 more by June 1st, but since it's not healthy to lose more than 2 lbs per week, it looks like the best I could possibly do is 6 pounds, and I don't think I've ever lost more than 4 pounds in 3 weeks before at all!

Also, I'm super cranky today, so I hope I can keep controlling my eating, I can be an emotional eater (I'm trying to battle that), and sometimes even though I see it coming I don't do anything about it. Today I'll try to maintain control anyway.
 
Ok Girl Lets Rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I Know You Can Do This So Lets Push Itttttttttttttttttttttt!!
 
Hi All!
I'm less than 2 weeks from the beach trip, I haven't bought a bathing suit, and I'm not below 200 yet. I'm starting to panic! I'm also going bathing suit shopping this friday, and I'm feeling sick about that. I already know I'm wearing board shorts over whatever I end up getting, but the anxiety of having to get anything is pretty bad. I'm eating only fruits, veggies & nuts today because I'm feeling kinda crappy. Calories will be pretty low I'm sure, but yesterday they were somewhat high, so it'll probably balance out. I get panic attacks every time I think about food, flab, beaches, bathing suits, or my completel lack of a tan. I'm working on developing the tan (some fancy Clinique self tanner, it looks really good), but the flab isn't making me happy. What can I possibly do in 1 1/2 weeks that would make me look slightly better in a bathing suit?!?
 
I know what you mean about the bathing suit issue! I'm still holding above 200 too. :rolleyes: We will get there eventually, but I wish it would hurry up and get here! ;)
 
Dont Beat Yourself Up You Have Done Great And I Know You Will Still Be Hot In That Bathing Suite
 
Thanks for the support. I've decided it is what it is, and I'm going to wear something comfortable that I don't flop out of, but that will allow me to tan as much flab as I feel OK about. That's all I can do, I have 2 weeks and the jiggle won't disappear before that, so, fine. I'll just have to deal. I'm still trying to be good until then (I hope I don't go overboard while I'm there. I love mexican food!) but I don't want to beat myself up.

I just ordered smaller pants though, that makes me feel good. I had to order them because they don't sell pants long enough to cover my ankles in the store, so I bought some new pants in a smaller size (my previous pants were, in fact, too big). That made me a little happy. Today I've eaten about 4 servings of fruit and one frozen whole grain waffle. I'm hungry, but I'm trying to not snack on anything other than fruits & veggies. Meals are meals, but snacks should be fruits & veggies (or maybe yogurt). I still need to watch my night eating. That's my downfall. I love food. :(

Oh, well. I'm trudging along no matter what...
 
great work snacking on only fruit and veg, Keep up the good work and enjoy your holiday.
 
Mornin' missprincess :D (gracious, its been WAY too long since I stopped in last! Sorry :eek: )

I agree. Bathing suits suck! (shorts aren't far behind on that list! LOL) I haven't worn one for ten years - makes summers sooo much fun :rolleyes: You've got the right attitude about it though. Comfy will make you much happier on your trip :D You're doing great! Congrats on the smaller pants! Isn't that fun?! :D

Have a great day and kick butt :D
 
Thanks a bunch girls, and don't fret HH, you're on your way to smaller pants, you just got the OK to exercise (in moderation).

I had a little mini binge last night that I need to confess. I estimate that it was contained to about 500 cal. over my budget (meaning 2000 cal total for the day instead of my normal 1500) but the loss of control started about 200 calories before that. Does that make sense? 700 calorie binge that put me 500 cal over budget. I'm going to try to just take that 500 cal out of today and make it a wash for the two days. It wasn't frenzied or anything, I even thought to myself while it was happening, "why don't I just stop?" I am PMSing right now, maybe that's my excuse, but every 3 1/2 weeks I'm PMSing, so I can't use that as an excuse forever.

I did a 5 minute mini workout this morning (medium high intensity on my elliptical machine) and I'm going to try to do 5 more today. Plus I'm riding my bike between jobs (meaning from one to the other, it's only 2 miles, but it's better than driving, AND less expensive) and riding to the post office (less than a mile). If I'm lucky I get 5 1/2 miles of biking in round trip per day, and I act like I'm a pro, but I just started this yesterday. I am planning to keep it up though.

I realized I wasn't getting enough cardio in, and I only like doing weight training videos at home, the cardio ones have started boring me. So for the summer I'm trying some outdoor type activities (and my elliptical runner, that's in the office with no windows or anything, but it's only 5 minutes at a time, trying to hit 30 min a day. Then I'll see if I can do my resistance training at night. I don't mind doing that, and if I had last night instead of watching a movie I probably wouldn't have had that food mishap. Well, it's over, and I'm trying to figure out what happened now. I have felt pretty hungry lately, and we do have our share of yummy but not diet friendly things at home right now. I really need to learn to say no! Dinner was good, but unfulfilling I think and that probably contributed.

I haven't had ANYTHING to drink today and it's 10:20. (bad girl) I'm gonna get some water and attempt to chug 16 ounces to start.
 
Don't beat yourself up (too much) over the mini binge. I think we all do it every once in a while. As long as you don't do it often!

Get the yummy but unhealthy stuff out of the house! ;)
