Misty's Diary

So far I have had:
- half a cup of hot chocolate
- a grilled chicken whole wheat sandwich: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, cheese, mustard.

Going to get some dinner. Maybe a snack. Don't know. I'm hungry!
 
Messed up yesterday again. Ice cream and coke and what not.

I've decided to try something different. I've decided to make ONE of my meal a salad- either lunch or dinner. Whichever one.

Also, I didn't spend too much time at the gym yesterday because of my period. I don't think I'll be going to the gym tonight but I will go out for a walk. Maybe I'll make it a bit longer than the path I usually take.

My weight seems to have gone up a bit. Arggghh..unhealthy eating.
 
I didn't eat properly today- just been stressed. Why do parents sometimes just stress you out so much when it is the last thing you need?

Sigh.

Back to losing weight tomorrow.
 
Hey you,

How are you doing? I've not talked to you for a while. I hope your weight loss is going well and you're happy :)

Ask your parents to lay off you and stop stressing you out - you never know.. if you ask, they might just stop.

How's the job seeking coming along?
 
Hey Becks, lol, asking my parents NOT to stress me out? Man, maybe I should try that, never thought of it. Today I have done well in the eating dept.- watermelon, peach, chicken salad. SO FAR ANYWAYS! Not up for the gym b/c of my TOM. :S

So let's see..hopefully the weight stays at 133lbs if it doesn't go down.
 
^ Good luck! YAY for eating well. I have too! We can be awesome together!

Have a nice day tomorrow hun x
 
Muchas gracias Becks. Hope you're doing well hun.

I think I've been eating well...but I also think my appetite has increased...and being out of the house most of the time can lead to some unhealthy food choices. Tomorrow I will be out for most of the day- the company I left called me back for 3 days because some people have jury duty.

Later on I need to go in for orientation at the part-time place. I will have to eat on the go. Literally no time to stop and eat tomorrow. I hope tomorrow goes well....
 
Okay....so...game plan for next week:

The goal: 132 lbs by next Wednesday.

Need to get rid of the "wobbly bits" :D Not liking them right now, haha.
 
Heya Becks,

Well...received some disturbing news this weekend (I'll tell you about it over msn when I see you)- so a bit ....well....on the blah side. Had fun on Saturday, went to a tasting festival that spanned three subway stations- was good fun- don't worry...I walked off all the calories I took in, haha.

Apart from that, need to visit the dentist...and nothing too interesting. Waiting on responses from a couple of places I interviewed at. Haven't been applying lately- so I'm going to get around to doing that tonight because I'm not exactly working at the moment. Tomorrow all I have to do is go in for a 2 hour orientation at the part-time place.


How is everything at your end?

p.s. I really think I can make the 132 lb mark by Wed. if I work hard.
 
I got the e-mail. Didn't get the internship I interviewed for- which is all right. I'm a bit disappointed but I knew that interview was not stellar.

I'm waiting on the second company to respond back-only I know the answer to that one is a "no" as well. Not because my interview did not go well, but more because I am not a good fit for the position they are looking for. One of the concerns was distance, and I do live farther away from the business area than I think they would like. Also, really, if I were them I would not pick me.

So...I'm back to square one. It's frustrating, disheartening, and well...I feel depressed. Nothing is going to "plan"- whatever the "plan" is any more. I'm too disheartened to go to the gym today. Sigh.

I'm in a bit of panic mode- and once again, my mind is all over the place! Eh, I'll figure this out!!
 
Down to 132lbs....back to exercising and making healthier food choices.

Back on with the job hunt.

One of these days...God has to give me a break.
 
^ All he can do is give you opportunities for you to give yourself a break. I think thats how it works. He doesn't give you a job, or courage to get one, he gives you an opportunity to get one that you're good for.

Paid too much attention to the new movie Evan Almighty, I guess. Haha.
 
Few things learnt in the past few days:

a) It's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm going to have to be a bit more aggressive.
More like a lot more aggressive.

b) Setback, rejection, failure- part of life. Take them on.

c) Work harder for what you want.

d) Impossible is nothing.
 
I've had my setbacks and I am so ready to move on. Tomorrow is a new day. I will make this weekend worth it.

What I need is something for the interim. Something for the in-between. A means to an end.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
 
Yesterday I spoke to a friend that used to like me, but now he has found someone else, and it's serious. I was upset yesterday- I can't believe myself, it's not like I want a relationship with this guy, but I feel better today. Still miss the ex, but it's just a matter of time.

Today I ate:
- chicken marinated, with one slice of whole wheat bread
- cup of coffee, 2 sugar, bit of milk
- bowl of porridge
- few crackers

Dinner:
Salad with a bit of beef.

I'm finding it hard to chew hard stuff because of the dentist visit- so I'm trying to stick to soft foods- soup would be great but I dont have any. Hitting the gym!
 
Misty,

I totally understand how eating makes you feel. I have a self-control problem when it comes to food. I don't ever want to eat bad or over-eat, but I get around the things I like (or just anything when I'm feeling down or alone) and before I can stop myself, it's gone. And then I feel ashamed, fat, and depressed. It sucks.

They say there's this 15 minute rule. Whenever you are craving something, wait fifteen minutes while chewing gum and the craving/impulse will have gone away! I've tried doing it before and it works most of the time!

Anyway, keep up the hard work and don't miss your ex! Remember what made him a jackass and realize you are going to have BETTER intimacy with your next boyfriend, TRUST!

Keep up the hard work!

-Bride in Waiting
 
Thanks for the advice BIN! Will try the 15 minute gum chewing technique!

Weigh-in day is tomorrow. I might not be down to 131 lbs, but my weight goal for next Wednesday is 130 lbs...why? Because I'm a woman on a mission and I am NOT giving up this week. I'm going to work hard and see it pay off. So, let's see what happens next Wed- 29 Aug...dun dun dun....
 
Okies, well today I had:

- a bowl of oatmeal con leche (170 cal)
- some V8 (70 cal)

- chicken veggie noodle soup (1.5 cups) (150 cal)
- granola bar with peanut butter (170 cal) blah...i know...
- cup of tea con leche
- cup of flavoured yogurt
- 1 plum
- few slices of melon
- half a tea biscuit

I still need more vegetables in my diet. Worked out at the gym today. Felt good about it but I worked up an appetite :S Next time I'm going to have a proper meal before heading out.
 
Forgot to add:

In order to reach my weight goal of 130lbs for next week I'm going to start taking walks in the morning. The summer is coming to an end (sadly!) and I want to take advantage of the weather! So, bright and early tomorrow I'm going to take a walk. I hope I can get up!
