No more failed attempts!!

Michael Phelps!!! ...and finals

Ahhhh so yesterday I was pretty bad with food, but then I found out MICHAEL PHELPS was at my gym (in a speedo!) filming a subway commercial and I was on the elliptical for at least an hour watching and it went by so quickly!!!
Food for yesterday:
Breakfast: cheerios with skim milk
lunch: salad with lots of veggies, sunflower seeds, olives, cottage cheese oil and vinegar
- bowl of cheerios with soy milk (I'm addicted!! I think i need to cut back though)
dinner: chicken breast with whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce
dessert- 2 mini laffy taffy (got a care package for finals and they were so tempting)

-there are prob other things in there but i didn't write them down...BAD I KNOW!

then all nighter and I had to eat! stress and pms are really getting to me.
-crackers, granola bar, 2 no sugar added fudgcicles, no sugar added hot chocolate, walnuts

TODAY: today was a little off too since I had just stayed up all night.
-south beach meal bar and apple around 12pm
-bag of popcorn around 2 pm
-slept from 3-7pm...yikes.
-dinner when i work up was a can of tortilla soup- 320 calories...is canned soup bad?
snack after the gym- 2 low fat string cheese and apple

gym: 30 min elliptical, abs, and arm weights, leg exercises~ 1 hr total

So far I am really proud that I have been going to the gym every day!!
I have not been good about eating though (better than usual I think) but I NEED to cut portions and I was to get on weight watchers or get back to south beach. When I got home on Saturday I think it will be much easier. I have no food left in my apart and i dont have time to grocery shop/dont want to buy food for only a few days.
 
omg omg omg. I am so bad! I don't know what is going on!! today was sooo bad!

I woke up at 12pm: had 2 eggs and half a grapefruit
around 2pm: CHIPS so bad! My boyfriend had them sitting out and i started eating them mindlessly!!! gahhh
around 4: i had a bowl of total cereal with 2% milk (all the boy had in his house).
around 9: stir fry with chicken, veggies, white rice, some sauce
around 12am. It gets worse...ICE CREAM AND A HOMEMADE COOKIE!!
bed time around 2 am. Not good either.



Of course this was my off day for the gym too. I just got my period so the cramps were killing me and i just couldnt make myself go. I will DEFINITELY go for a LONG TIME tomorrow.

Uh my appetite is going crazy! I am going to get back on track! I will get down to 135! The bingeing ends here!

i am going to go do some situps/pushups and go to bed :(
last final tomorrow!!
 
Wow so i have really been slacking with the posting!

Breakfast: 2 packs of kashi cinnamon sugar oatmeal
lunch: south beach meal bar
snack- total cereal with 2% milk
dinner: unos- french onion soup and walnut gorgonzola salad
probably other stuff too but i dont rememeber...

Sunday:
breakfast: bowl of frosted mini wheats with skim milk

-1/2 can campbells tomato soup
dinner: chicken breast with peas
salad with almonds, gorgonzola, blueberries and vinegar.

exercise: did nothing all day because of the snow! then 3.5 miles on treadmill, sit ups, pushups, leg exercises.

I think the exercise is going pretty well, but i think i am still eating too much junk. I just love food way too much!!
 
so today hasn't been great. Just one of those days where nothing seems to go your way. I cried for the first time in a long time and just can't seem to keep my self together. I just wish I could push the pause button on life and take a breather. I thought life was supposed to get more relaxed after finals not more stressful!

anyway:
breakfast: 2 eggs, clementine, coffee (black)
lunch: turkey sandwich with 2 pieces of turkey and one slice of swiss cheese
-carrots
-part of an apple
-piece of chocolate cookie someone brought into work with walnuts

snack: 2 chocolate coverd almonds (there was chocolate everywhere i turned!! I was pretty proud for turning down most of it although I should not have even had this much)
-ritz crackers

dinner: can of chicken noodle soup (campbells, chuncky)
-pear

no exercise, way to tired. lots of running around during work and lots of shopping after, that must count for something...i hope.
 
looks like you have been doing great with consistant exercise :hurray: but a little to much chocolate. good effort so far.
 
I need to stop pigging out!!

I have been really bad the past few days and wayyy to pooped at night to get on here and right about how bad i have been. I have been good with the exersize so I tell myself it evens out but it doesnt! I stopped losing weight :(. New year. New eating habits.

I'm going to start eating the right sized portions and NO MORE JUNK!

I'm going to re read the beck diet solution because she has some great ways to think positive and I think I need that the most right now. I need to change my attitude!
 
It's never too late to get back on the wagon right? I am feeling really bummed out. I feel worse than ever. I gained back the weight and my stomach has been hurting so much. I don't know what happened. I was so ready and so encouraged to lose weight and now I am binge eating like crazy and have lost my motivation some how. :banghead:

Starting tomorrow I am going to get back on track. I will also be working all this week so it should be a little bit easier. I think I am going to go grocery shopping and pick up some stuff for the rest of the week. i realized when there is nothing healthy that i like i just eat junk so I'm going to get stuff that i like!

Ok well wish me luck! I NEED to get down to 135!! and that just seems so far away right now. :(
 
Hi

It's never too late to get back on that wagon. Have you tried using , it is a great site where you can track your calories etc. I actually like it so much I purchased the home version. You can do this...just get hold of those cravings!
 
I was in the 50s today!! like 159.5 or something, but still! I hope it's not just because im getting my period...but still. I'm happy. haha. and I'm back at school with my big nice gym that is only 2 blocks away. whooo hooo.

just thought i would update after those depressing posts.
 
Ok so I'm going to start writing down what i eat again. I've been really good about exercise but not that great about food.
breakfast: 2 eggs, light activia
lunch: half a chicken breast with broccoli, green pepper, onion, tomato sauce
- low fat string cheese
-sugar free jello

snack: small handful of walnuts
- small apple with peanut butter
 
ok so the rest of the day was very down hill...stupid period. Anyway, tomorrow I am going back to strict low cal. I have not really been cutting back at all and have not been losing any weight. tomorrow i start. i need to lose these 30 lbs!!! gahhhhh.
 
current weight: 160
goal weight 130/5

At 1-2 lbs a week, I would like to have reached my goal weight by the week of May 11th (16 weeks). I graduate on the 17th!

I'm happy to be almost in the 50s..finally!
