Miss Princess's diary

I just have to say that your vacation sounds WONDERFUL!!!!! Especially the margaritas, queso and guacomole!!!!!

I did some research on RMR compared to BMR.....using the RMR I get more calories during the day!!!! Just using an online calculator it's around 1600 calories a day I should be eating...I'm sure that's not completely accurate but that is what I have been aiming for so maybe I'm not too far off.

Thanks again for the info!!!!!

And I'm glad you had a good vacay!
 
good plan. good luck.

and oooh. your vacation sounds fun! scuba diving and guacamole! fun and yummy. in that order. :D
 
hey...long time no talk...just wanted to let you know that I am back on here and I am done with my classes for the quarter....ill message later to catch up with you :)
 
Hey Missprincess! Don't feel bad at all about your vacation! I mean, it WAS a vacation! :p And you have been doing so good, you deserved it! And look at you, you are down to 203! You've passed me by!
 
What would a vacation be without lettin loose......I believe it would be called WORK! So you had fun...now back to work (LOL)! :D Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks ladies, I just hope I didn't do too much damage to my plateau busting by immediately going on vacation after I finally got off that lousy 206 plateau! I couldn't have gained all 3 pounds back in 4 days, right? :eek: I'll see tomorrow what mr. scale has to say, and I'll let you know then. Here's hoping for 203 again (less would be highly unlikely). I didn't do any weight training last night, and my cardio was lazy (rode my stationary bike for an hour and a half while I watched a really good movie - so you know I wasn't riding that fast, I was too engrossed in the movie!). It's better than sitting still I guess. I've done 17 minutes of cardio so far today, I have no time for resistance training since I have work obligations all day 'til 9pm, but I may be able to squeeze in a 2 mile walk/jog around 4pm (I hope). I'll let you know. Also, I may have overeaten a bit yesterday, I made dinner and forgot to count some of the calories in my ingredients, so I'm sure I was under 2000, but I may not have been under 1850. Bad girl. I should just lower my calorie goal again since I never manage to make it anyway. I'll have to give myself a serious talking-to.
 
MP, your vacay sounded WONDERFUL! You can keep the guacamole but I'll take a margarita or two and some queso! LOL Nah, I dont' need those, on second thought! *hangs head* Darn it! LOL Your plan sounds good :D I hope it works well for you :D

How your WATER intake for today????:D You are doing good and looks like a great plan for yourself.. Have a GREAT Day and kepp your headup nad your legs moving. Drink your WATER:p
 
I did go for my walk/jog, and I'm pretty proud of myself for establishing a new anti-laziness pattern in my walk. I hate running by myself. I actually like to run, but not alone, it's too tedious when I don't have any distractions. So I made a pattern that only allowed me to be bored for 1/4 mile at a time. I jogged 1/4 mile, then sprinted (which for me is still kinda slow, but it was as fast as I could run) for 30 seconds, then walked the remaining part of the 2nd quarter mile. Then at 1/2 mile I started the pattern over again. I had 4 sprints (don't know the distance, I was just going for 30 seconds of all out running) all together though, so I think that counts as interval training, right? I'm going to try to do that again on as many days as possible.

Also, Sunday I have softball practice (I joined the work softball team, and I'm super lousy at sports, but I made that disclaimer before I joined and they still wanted me, so it's their fault for not believing me). As long as we don't go out for pizza and beer after every practice or game I should be able to count that as some exercise too. I really want my fiance to be supportive of my newfound athleticism, but he just says, "When do you have the time for that?" He's all for me making time to work out (I'm grumpy when I don't) but I guess he doesn't think softball is much exercise or fun or something. Whatever. He didn't act like I shouldn't do it (and it wouldn't matter if he did) but I did want him to at least pretend it sounded like fun. Oh well, we can't have it all, huh?
 
softball

Softball should be a lot of fun, and some good exercise.

DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH!!!!! Going from a stand to a sprint trying to catch a ball can really pull a muscle if you son't stretch out before hand! Have a great time!!!!!
 
I used to play softball, I loved it (even though I sucked) lol. Its wonderful exercise and heaps of fun.
 
I think you should do whatever your little heart wants you to do. If you want to play softball then play...which by the way is awesome..i played in high school and i loved it...we played fast pitch though which was more strennuous then slow pitch..i have played both. You have to realize that you are doing all this weight loss and working out for you not for your fiance. my husband is the same way..he is always making cracks about my fat now that i am losing. I told himt he other day...you are such an unsupportive person and since he has been a little better..but i looked at the stiuation and i was like you know how good i am feeling lately..i am working out and losing weight and i feel great and that is all that matters to me right now. when i do look hot then he will want to show me off and i can say to him..u had nothing to do with this! and now who looks like an ass....hehe :) keep it up im sure youll have a great time.
 
After a while, he's going to see how much fun your having playing softball that he's going to want to start tagging along. LOL!!!!
 
I know I'm doing all this for me, and my fiance has been kind enough to be supportive and (mostly) not rude about the flab I've lost. He says I look good, I just wanted him to be happy I'm trying new stuff (like sports). He's indifferent. Not negative, just unconcerned. It's not that big a deal anyway.

So I have to tattle on myself since the scale read 205 this morning. I will, of course, confirm tomorrow since I never believe a number the first day I see it, but I'm hoping for 204 or 203 again. I'd hate to have undone most of my loss with 4 days of vacation. My ankle was still a little puffy this morning, so maybe I'm holding on to too much water. I'll drink LOTS today just to see what happens. I'm not changing my ticker until tomorrow at least.

Yesterday I ate about 1700 cal and it was all pretty good nutritionally. I'm going to try to behave myself again today. I'm all dressed for jogging & I'm going to try to get my 2 mile track (walk/jog like yesterday) before lunch.
 
Good job....keep it up...im sure you just holding onto water...and if not the job that you do will make you lose that one pound! Good luck :)
 
See, all the WATER you're drinking is adding to that scale :eek: It's okay, don't give up on that WATER!!!!! But it is probably all water... It go back to 203.. No worries. Have a GREAT day and Drink more WATER :D
 
Thanks, I'm a drinkin' fool today, I left my cup somewhere though recently & I'll have to go in search of it. I did my little 2 mile walk/jog again today. I needed it for stress reduction, and it worked, I feel much better now. I just ate vegetable lasagne for lunch and it was yummy. I have fruit in the fridge for a snack later, and some almonds. No idea what's for dinner but you can bet it will involve no white flour and some veggies. There were white flour lasagne noodles in my lunch, but only 2 layers and it's pretty healthy, so I'm hoping the veggies and cheese will offset the bad effects of that processed flour.

I want to get under 200 pounds so badly, I don't know why I keep sabotaging myself, I just want to get there! I have a doctor's appt. in a week, maybe I can surprise myself and hit 199 before that. It'll take a hell of a lot more jogging than my little lunch time jaunt. We'll see. One can always hope.
 
4 lbs to go before you hit your minigoal! You're so darn close!

If I catch you sabotaging yourself again, I'll have to slap your hands, so don't make me do it! ;)
 
Howdy, mp :D

My hubby is the very same way, but it IS a big deal! Its important to you so that makes it a big deal - especially with how far you've come and being so close to your mini goal!!! You need to tell him so - don't be afraid to toot your own horn either!!! :D Make SURE he notices and has to say something :D It's good for him to expand his mind! :D hehehehe

Have a great day! You'll be under 200 soon 'cause if you sabotage yourself, I'll sic Beagle Bailey on you!!!!:D
