MissPoodle's Diary

I calculated that the lowest BMR + the Equation for caloric expenditure, without exercise, is 1900 daily.

When I exercise for an hour, my body consumes 3,000 calories, so I should eat about 1500 calories.
When I do not exercise, my body consumes 2,000 calories, so I should eat about 1200 calories.

My weekly caloric intake goal is 11,000. So, give and take, I guarantee to lose 2-3 pounds a week, as long as I exercise 6 days a week.

I can't wait to weigh-in on Day 14..then weigh-in on Day 28...I can't wait I can't wait for visible losses!!! and POUND LOSSES!!!

This weekend, I got hella crap to do!
Friday- sub, stadium game
Saturday- cycling + bodypump, cws paper (at least 2), livetext lesson plan
Sunday- cws papers (at least 2), reflection, gym (yoga instead?)
Monday- student teach, go to class, return at outlets, gym
Tuesday- sub, cws paper, turbo kick + strength training
Wednesday- student teach, turbo kick + cycling
Thursday- sub, do inventory!!, cardio kickboxing + strength training

Thoughts
My body is so sore, everything hurts!! I walked a lot and we sat in section 305, so three flights of stairs were killer! I had a great time at the game, ate a burrito, and took out the rice to save some carbs, had no other choice for the beans, and kept the guac since it tasted like pure avocado. I caved in and had some red vines and sunflower seeds. I had a lot of fiber today because of the pinto beans, sunflower seeds, marinara sauce and the whole wheat pasta in the spaghetti.

Hi Miss Poodle Howya going today. I see you are very excited about your journey. Congratulations on your loss so far. Keep it up.

How tall are you Miss Poodle?
 
Hi fortyfour, I am 5'5".

Thanks fortyfour! It's just the damn beginning water weight that is being flushed out...i woke up this morning feeling extremely exhausted, must be the strength training class last night! my back muscles hurt as well!
 
A contrast shower (alternate cold/hot for a minute each 3-4 times) immediately after your class will help minimise DOMS in the 1-2 days afterwards and is a little more pleasant than an ice bath :D

So, I hate planning things too in advance, especially when other people can influence my plans, in a positive way. I am not mad that things went haywired. I'm happy I only ate one serving of chicken breast because I would've gotten sick of that. My sister and brother ate the rest of the spaghetti, and that's good because another serving of that would have been disgusting. Now, eating the same foods consecutively is not a good thing!

Although I didn't go to the morning fitness classes, I was pretty darn sweaty on the elliptical. I stretched afterwards because my legs felt really really tight, almost as if I gave 110%, I would've pulled a muscle or two!

I. must. stretch.

I love strawberries. I chop one up and put it in oatmeal. I hate oatmeal, but I love it with berries!

How can you not like oatmeal? :emoticon of alarm and distress here: Do you cook it right? This is how i cook it.

I use rolled oats either quick oats or more coarse ones it doens't matter
water
pinch salt - essential

cook cook cook till its thick

Then serve with milk and, in the past, honey or sugar.

Do you make it something like this?

Now i just eat plain oats with full cream milk and a piece of fruit for sweetness. The raw oats are a bit better without sugar than porridge (what you call oatmeal)
 
I eat the instant kind, with water. Milk or water, it doesn't matter. It's the texture. Reminds me of baby spit up. Lol I am a texture person.

I WOKE UP TOO LATE FOR THE GYM CLASS, SO INSTEAD I AM GOING SHOPPING.
oops for the caps, i just realized that. The first thing I did this morning, I took a large BM! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!

Get all 'em burrito out of me! LOL!! I will go to the gym later tonight and make sure it's good. My body is still so sore and tight!!
 
Instead of eating oatmeal, I've been getting my carbs from double fiber bread and whole wheat spaghetti noodles.

I'm mentally having a hard time dealing with my day to day because of the damn ex-boyfriend. When we broke up on Wednesday, i was okay, I went straight to the gym afterwards. Thursday, I went to the gym. Friday, I went to the game, but I made myself available by being online, and he IMed me. Now, I just want him back but it's so crazy cause it's so hard to be strong!

I wanted to break up because he had too many issues. So I have to be STRONG. Too bad I begged for him back twice, last night and today.

I gotta keep my head focused on weight loss, at least. I wish my head was clear though...I lasted on the elliptical tonight because I kept thinking about him, I kept wondering if he would ever reach out to me again. sigh* That's not right!
 
I guess it is very hard trying to end a relationship when the reason for it is because you know he's not good for you while your heart still wants him. I guess that's what you mean by " too many issues." It's probably not helping him at all though if you are pushing him away and then begging for him to come back. If you are going to end it, you gotta make it a clean break and then its easier for everyone if you cut all contact. Really, its true.

Keep focused on your weight loss but also on long term happiness and mental/emotional wellbeing. We all want stability. In weight, in work, in everything. Happiness lies there. Its the ups and downs that make life so difficult.

Are your bowels ok. It seems to be a big issue with you. I have constipation from some medication i take but i have some things for it and also i am coming around to the idea that i may just not be able to crap every day. I'm not that happy about it but given how full of fibre my diet is, i don't know what else i can do. My doc has told me not to use a laxative more than once a month so I will only do that if i am uncomfortable.

Something like the gym sounds like it might be a good outlet for your emotional concerns and its great you are so keen on it. Things will settle down in a little while. Hang in there being strong. :waving:

I'm going to eat some watermelon and end my day with some water. I am scared of my weigh-in on Day 14! It HAS to be a huge lost so I will behave!! I did weigh myself today at the gym, but it wasn't a good number at all! :willy_nilly::willy_nilly: It has to be because of the salt of yesterday and today's foods! Gotta flush myself!

My bowels are usually smaller when I diet, which I've read is normal. When I would eat crap and a lot, I would often have huge BMs and a couple times a day. I just like to keep track of my BMs because when I previously dieted many times before, I wouldn't poo for a few days, which is quite scary. I've had dealt with constipation before, so I just like to be aware.

I spoke to my ex-boyfriend yesterday and what seems like we are back together, but on the terms that I have to be okay with the fact that he has a girl who is a best friend. But that girl is also his ex-girlfriend.

I gotta stay busy. Believing his words is tough. Help Fortyfour!
 
Sucks about the boyfriend--Sounds like you are better off without him. Plus, all this new-found confidence you will get with the weight-loss will make you even more of a man-magnet!

I just want to let you all know that I gotta be super good! I didn't weigh myself for the past 3-4 days and I wasn't eating perfectly, and look, I gained .6LBs (because I was 193.2lb at 7am at home)! I thought I was doing alright this whole time, but I guess I gotta clean up my diet a bit!!! SO, I weighed myself at the gym after I worked out tonight. WOOHOO!. Remember, my shoes and clothes weigh 2.4-2.6pounds!! *wink

Things with the boyfriend are officially over. He's single apparently... Oh Well. He called me at 2PM today, I missed the call, called him back at 3PM, and he asked if I wanted to come over, so I said, "uh..sure" and he said "okay, when are you free?" and I said "i'm only free after 730pm.." and he said "alright well just give me a call when you're free." So, I called him at 7:15pm, he didn't pick up, so I went online from my phone and said "yo" and basically, he didn't want to hang out that moment, but wasn't sure what time tonight, so I told him not to call me to make plans if he doesn't plan on going through with it. It makes me feel good to be on the high horse! HAH!

I went to the gym tonight, it felt really good! I was so sweaty, it was awesome. I weighed myself after I worked out, and I basically de-bloated my system!! Woot Woot! I was panicking that I wouldn't see the 190s on Wednesday morning, but I know it will happen! I plan on going to strength training AND turbo kickboxing tomorrow. My muscles are no longer tight or sore, so I think my body is ready for some more muscle building! I will need to make sure I eat well!

Water- 13
Weigh-In: 191.6lb @ 830PM


Diet
945AM: 4oz chicken breast, 1 handful of raw spinach, 5 chicken raviolis, 1oz beef, 2 small seafood pancakes (600)

3PM: 1 cup iced black coffee
845PM: 1 slice mango, 2 slices of apple
calories: 1250

Exercise
1 hour Turbo Kickboxing
1 hour Strength Training

Thoughts
I woke up this morning and the first thing I had to do, of course, was go to the bathroom, and guess what, I had a BM! WOOT WOOT! I'd like to eat some good FUEL in my system so I don't fall dizzy during my 2-hour HIGH INTENSE workout!! I think I'll weigh myself again on Thursday evening after working out.

I went to CPK for lunch with a girlfriend, i think i chose healthy options! I LOVE mediterranean food, so when I saw it on the small plate menu for less than 400 calories, I KNEW I had to get that! And to add, I got the asparagus salad for the heck of it, which turned out really delicious. I drank so much water too, it was great. I'm peeing clear, which is kind of scary. The mediterranean plate was full of carbs, which isn't so bad since I will be doing a lot of cardio this evening.

At this point in my weight loss, I really want to focus on eating healthier and cardio and 2x weight training. My shoulders feel sore, I feel the DOMS coming in!!!!!! I sweated a lot, put in A LOT more effort in kickboxing tonight. I doubt there is anyway for my body to get used to these exercises because these classes are taught by different instructors with different styles and routines...I weighed myself tonight, because I couldn't help myself!!!!

I'm thinking TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS will be my weigh-in days...err, maybe...
