Miss Princess's diary

I liked X3 too! A lot of people didn't like it compared to the first two, and I'll admit the first two were *better*, but this one was still just some good mindless action ;) I liked Mission Impossible 3 for the same reasons.

My doctor's scale was actually almost 10 pounds LESS than when I weighed on my home scale, with all my clothes on! I wish I could have kept that number when I went home :p
 
sorry, I can't stand X3. :p As a faithful comic lover, it's shameful. However, did you stay til the end? After credits? I hear there's a bonus clip at the end after all the credits. Seems everyone I talked to missed it.

and I hear ya about the clothes thing. When I'm wearing clothes, it adds like 3 pounds. If I'm naked with a towel around me, 5 pounds! Naked, I'm my regular weight. Plus different scales says I'm different weights. It's weird.

you're doing a great job! keep it up!
 
Okay, no comment on either movie as I have yet to see them. Though I am really excited about pirates of the caribean. My 5 year old loved the first one and that is one of her favorite rides at Disney! So we will be heading to the theater soon! Maybe the local drive in!
On to important things.......missprincess...I hate being weighed at the dr's. His scale always says I am about 7 lbs heavier...that always ticks me off!!! So I can't wait to hear your official weigh in number...I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised :D !!! You are doing so incredible well. Keep up with the good work running....how great to help someone else meet their fitness goals....YAY for you!!!
 
Thanks girls, I.C. - I did stay to the end of the credits, and it is an important "development" in my opinion. That's all I'll say since Spelin hasn't seen it yet.

Anyway, you may have noticed my ticker (or maybe not) has become a lovely sea turtle swimming past 202 now. I say "past" since I plan to pass it soon, but this morning I was, in fact, 202 again, and so I'm accepting it. I was a little bad last night, but more from a nutritional standpoint than from overall calories. I'm all about making healthy nutritious choices...until I get emotionally upset. Then I'm all about dessert.

So for dinner last night I ate half a brownie (split w/ the fiance) and a cannoli, and then 1 Tbsp of peanut butter on a wasa cracker and 4 whole grain graham crackers w/ honey. Part of the problem was that I was starving and had only eaten 750 or so calories by 5pm, and part of it was my bad day. I didn't likely exceed my 1850 calories (I don't really know, but we split the brownie, the cannoli had ricotta cheese, cranberries and about 12 chocolate chips in it, and the peanut butter, crackers & honey all had exactly 235 calories). Plus while I was talking to my mom on the phone I ate a serving of "wow" chips - the olestra pringles w/ no fat. That was 70 calories. So I had about 700-800 calories to cover that half a brownie and the cannoli - which wasn't huge by the way. The brownie was kinda huge, but under 4" square for sure. (and about 3/4" thick before the butter pecan icing) OK, so maybe that was bad, but at least I split that one! I'm not worried about it. I can take a few extra calories and as long as it's not a regular habit I'll still keep moving ahead. I'm just disappointed that all my good healthy habits go out the window when I'm upset.

I had a run scheduled w/ my new buddy, but she canceled today & rescheduled for next week. I think I'll keep our appointment anyway just to keep myself in a routine that has been working for me.

running with a buddy is such a great idea....that is what I lack here.

You are doing a really good job, keep it up!
 
Yeah I agree with twinmom the buddy scheme you have sounds quite good, especially if you got someone who had abilities similar to yours. Hope you have a lovely weekend lass!:)
 
Hey MP! Congratulations on getting to 202! Did you get that run in? Don't let that new buddy cancelling on you slow you down! :D
 
Thanks, I did get the run in, but I only did 2 of my sprints since I actually had some pain at the end of the second one. I just did a fast jog/slow run for the third half-mile and a brisk walk up the hill for the last half mile. It still counts, and I do still have that pain. In the right leg the front of my upper quad near the hip flexor hurts and in my left leg it's the inner thigh. Geez, I must be falling apart! I MUST lift weights tonight. 3 days of San Diego is not going to do me any favors if I don't start ramping up the activity level soon!
 
Hi! I'm back, and definitely waiting until Thursday to weigh myself. I came back sunburned and over-salted, having eaten CONSTANTLY for nearly 3 days. Not great, BUT, I also was extremely active over those same 3 days. I bicycled all over the city of San Diego, jogged, did the stair-master, treadmill, and some isometric muscle exercise. Still there was that eating all day business. We'll see on Thursday what it all means. Gotta run (literally) I'll be back tomorrow.
 
Doh I missed the extra clip at the end of X-Men 3 today even though I had been warned about it!! If you were that active don't be surprised if you do better than you think. I've always been amazed at how much I eat on some vacations and lose weight if I'm really active.
 
Lol! Sunburned and "over-salted" sure doesn't sound fun! I know, it isn't funny, but the way you put it sure was! :D Glad to hear you were so active. Maybe that will make up for all of that extra eating and extra salt. ;)
 
I certainly hope it will. I only did my 2 mile walk/jog yesterday, and I doubt I can do more than that today. This week is ridiculously bad for my workout schedule. The run is easy to fit in since it doesn't take me that long (even including the stretch afterward) and I can do it any time without any equipment necessary. The problem is that this week I have two night time seminars, a good friend in town, a long-scheduled dinner party with friends, and another special dinner (and dessert) to make for my fiance's birthday. I'll try not to overeat, and since I'm home this week I should be able to manage, but I don't have any idea when I'll be able to do all my exercise! I'm getting antsy just thinking about it!

Here's my concern. Every time I go out of town, I gain weight. It's only temporary, I know, I lose it within a week afterward, it's all salt & water retention and gross white flour that just plain moves too slow through the system. That's reality. I do understand digestion and what things get "hung up" in your system. Thankfully I don't eat red meat or I'd really be in trouble on vacation! I know I've grossed you all out with it before, but it really surprises people to find out that some things linger in your large intestine and colon for nearly a week (like red meat for example - up to 5 days). Anyway, so the thing I worry about is that every time I come back from vacation at a heavier weight I'm really careful to get ALL of my normal exercise and activity in all week. That always takes me back to my starting weight or better by the end of the week. Not going on vacations would do much better for my weight, but this time of year it can't be avoided. We do a lot of "weekend getaways" because we can never actually take a week off work.

Well, no use worrying about it, I'll do my best & see how it goes.
 
Ok, you are making ME anxious about your weigh in! Come on, get it over with! I need to know! :p I mean, I do have to catch up to you after all!
 
hey girlfriend i miss ya email sometimes!!!!!!! I know your rocking and you will hit onederland!
 
TINA!!! Wow, HI! I'm so glad you popped in! Thanks that's sweet, I miss you too. I hope you're doing well & keeping on track. I think I'll check your diary to see if you've posted any updates.

P.S. to those of you who are following this, I had dessert at lunch. Bad girl... I'm gonna try to have salad for dinner just to make up for it. Dessert was sopapillas and ice cream. I shared with a friend, but I ate more of it than she did. Lunch was a bean tostada with avocado and mushrooms. I probably ate 10 tortilla chips too, but I didn't eat the tostada shell. No idea on the calories there. I'm pretty disappointed with myself. It's always hard to re-focus after a weekend off.
 
Not much, I confess. I'll chug some right now.:D
