Misty's Diary

Went out with a friend for dinner- denny's- mistake.

Hash browns-200 cal
Scrambled eggs(2)- 200 cal
Hot fudge sundae- 330 cal
1 chicken leg - 240 cal

That's 1605 calories all together. The sundae was a killer...NO MORE ICE CREAM!!! I went 205 calories over the amount I was supposed to stick to. Frig. I'm going to exercise for a bit now. Hey, at least I'm keeping count of my calories now.

The motivation and the self control is so hard.
 
You don't have to be on a lock down diet. If you tell yourself you can't have something you're only going to want it more. Try to slowly work yourself into a healthy eating routine. Don't say no more icecream just instead of eating the biggest thing with everything on it, have a small scoop of of your favorite kind. I absolutely love the Spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's and I used to get it at least 3 times a week with large fries and a coke. Now i'll let myself have one every few weeks except i'll get the smallest fries and a water. Being patient with weight loss sucks and you are going to have some bad days but keep your head up and know that the day is going to come when you look in the mirror and be like damn i'm hot.

Thanks Tusk! I guess I am not one for patience, I just want all the weight to go imeediately- which I know, is not possible. Yeah, the hot summer days are making me crave ice cream. Thank you for your advice. Becks said the same thing- don't cut it completely out of your diet but eat in moderation. I hate the guilty feeling I get when I've eaten something that can possibly be classified as "bad".

Today has not been too bad thus far. I've had:


Breakfast:
- 4 chunks of pineapple (100 calories)
- 1 apple (80 calories)
- 1 cup of tea with milk...milk must be around 40 cal?
That's 220 calories after breakfast.


What do you guys say about croutons in the salad? Or is that not
recommended?
 
In addition to the breakfast I had the following:

- 1 cup of cheerios (110 cal)
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing (33 calories)
- a salad with baked chicken....don't know how much that comes to ....
- two spoonfuls of rice..

and 30 minutes walking....I tried running today and my calves were kiling me...decided to walk the rest of the way home....guess I'm not ready for running? It felt like I had pulled something...but I don't think I did. Out of all my wobbly bits, my calves are in the best shape. I need to take up something other than walking/running maybe to exercise everything else as well.

Oh well, I'm glad I didn't binge today :) Day 1 of progress. I am *not* falling off the badwagon this time. If I can keep this up for a week...i.e. next Monday, I am so going to take myself out to the movies. I hope I can keep the healthy eating up.
 
Add two more cups of cheerios to that...so thats an additional 220 calories...and NOW im going to bed.
 
Did u warm up enough before starting on that run?

glad your Day 1 went rather well. Movies sound a good reward.... I am sure you'll do well.
Not sure about croutons....I dun like those. It gets stuck in my teeth too much. Maybe skip it if it's white bread? And those r deep fried right?
If u need that crunch, add a little almonds instead.:)
 
Hello ..
You sound like you are doing really well ...
I bike ride and walk ...
bike riding is pretty cool
and walking can be wonderful for the tummy as well ...
I don't jog ..too much weight on me ...but I do enjoy going out ...

Keep up the good work
Your salad can be topped with almonds ..reminds me of an Asian salad I pick up at the restaurant sometimes ...
Asian salads are awesome ...but so are grilled chix Ceaser Salads ..hmm .. lol
now I am making myself hungry ...:rotflmao:

oh well
wishing you the best

Thank you for youre responses natalie and pinkydolly!

No! I didn't stretch before I went on my run, just walked for a good 5 minutes, I guess that was not enough! I was thinking just that when I got home the other day!!

Hmm, almonds? I've never tried that, perhaps I will. Now I'm afraid I might overdo the dressing...I have never been one for veggies. I cheated today by eating some chips which were high in calories(midnight snacking is my vice)! Apart from that pretty much everything I ate had some nutritional value!!

I wish you guys the best in your weight loss journeys :)
 
Not sure what kinda dressing u put.... is it ranch?
Maybe u shd try salsa or something. It's nice. :)

I don't know about midnite snacking. I am usually in dreamland by then haha. Maybe u shd just sleep early?
 
Hola pinky,

You know that's another yet excellent and simple suggestion- sleep early! Man, yeah I should start doing that. Thanks, haha
 
I tend to eat at night
and what I have learned
is if I eat a very SMALL bowl of cereal with skim milk ..it fills me up enough for the morning commute ...

so .. I eat cheerios or cinnamon granola cereal ..
cinnamon cuts your sugar down ... so the cereal that I eat is good for me because I am pre diabetic ... too much sugar .. I can't eat much sugar ..
but the fruit doesn't seem to be triggering any reactions .. I loooove fruit ..
I ate some blueberries today, three small apricots ...
there are strawberries in the fridge ...

I have lost six pounds this week ..due to under eating however ..which is really bad ... I will gain the weight back most likely ... however I am going for a fifteen mile bike ride Saturday and a five mile bike ride to the beach on Sunday ...
today I don't know what I am doing ...because I don't have anything in the house to give me energy ..what an odd feeling ...
but we have a weight bench which is more than a weight bench ..works on your tummy ..your arms ... your pectoral muscles ..different areas of your legs ..and mom has a treadmill .. I might just use the treadmill ..hmm ..yes .. I will ...I want to be in my house today and water the plants outside .. I will go on the treadmill .. its actually harder walking outside ... but I love the tread mill today ...

So how are you doing? How are you feeling overall with what you are eating?

You sound like you are doing awesome Misty .. keep up the good work .. :)
but if you feel jittery at night ..try some fruit or a small bowl of cereal ..like not even touching the top of the bowl cereal .. I have lost weight since cutting out all other midnight snacks and just taking in the cereal ..the milk helps me go to sleep ..

best wishes hun
Keep up the good work!:)

always

Lol Becks, it's the one with no life that's sticking to a daily journal. ;)

I'm going to a job fair tomorrow. Three things are bothering me:

1. It's one of those restaurants where you see pretty girls serving you, and I don't know what I was thinking applying there as a hostess. I'm not one of those pretty girls.

2. It's a bit out of the way but really, I'm desperate, so anything works right now.

3. I'm nervous. Interviewing- blah!!!!

Now that I got that out of the way. Okay, I lost a pound!! Wooohooo, 129lbs. I'm just so so scared I'm going to gain it back because it's not like it hasn't happened before! It took a fair bit of work, not a lot of ard work, but I did commit to eating healthier than I usually do and doing some walking- I'm just scared of falling off the bandwagon I suppose- but I now I know if I fall I can always get back on.

Also, I looked up a couple of ad agencies yesterday- right now my best bet at breaking into an ad agency career seems to be through an internship. I need to sort that one out. Who to call, who to contact, who to write to. Which companies? I wish I just had more confidence...I'd just cold-call them and not worry about if I'd make an ass of myself.

Ah well. Life goes on.
 
I'm at an all time low. My mother managed to get to me today. She has a habit of personally attacking everyone when she's mad. God, she says and does things that are so fucked up sometimes. Right now I hate her. She's never supportive, nothing is good enough for her- and she's not a great role model. I am angry and I am venting but the fact that I have been suffering from low self esteem since I was a child is because of her. She's been a rotten mother in that department- and I can never *talk* to her. The word *talk* is foreign. All she does is yell and scream- and the sad thing is I'm not even exaggerating. Even my ex would say, why does your mother always yell? Yes, she's obnoxiously loud and never pleasant. Right now I want to move out SO fucking bad. I need a job. So I can move far, far away from HER.

Oh and what's even more fucked up- she treats her coworkers with more respect than her own family.....need to get out of the house. Going for a walk. A decent 40 minute walk away from my psycho mum.

I feel like crying but I can't find the tears to.

-Hugs- Lets move in together and form a club for people who have crappy mums.

It's unbelievable how much we're alike, and how much I can relate to you. You're better than me though cause you're actually getting a job! Well, you've got one :D You're on your way out of there! I need to get away from here too. Keep your chin up, you'll be out of there soon!

I'm glad you're back on the bandwagon. We all fall off.. it's whether you get back on or not that counts!
 
Hey...
Just wanted to check in and see how your doing...

My mom used to be the same way ... she has grown or become more understandable and shows a better face. She is very caring ...

You never know, your mom might come around someday ...

good luck hun
I wish you the best ...

And ... we all fall of the band wagon at sometimes in our life...
We are human. Keep up the good work hun ...
Think of you and you alone. You can do whatever you dream...

always

Thanks for the support Becks and natalie!!

I'm gaining weight:eek: which was a suprise as yesterday I power walked a good distance. Muscle mass? Hopefully? It's a bit disappointing to see the scale tip in the OTHER direction.

I went to wal-mart the other day to look for a good scale. $60 for the good ones! I'm like, egads, that's highway robbery!!! And the really blah analog ones are like $9.00, which I would have bought but the needle always goes hay-wire- so I'm staying away from those kinds. I'm broke atm, but I plan to but a good scale once the money starts coming in.

Anyhoo off for a walk at 9 30 tonight. Will keep on going. Stupid stubborn weight.
 
Good on you for getting up and still doing it! I'd have been a bit lazy for a few days if that happened to me (which it has lol).

Good job :D
