Project C

Hi there C I was just checking in to see how you were doing. I heard that TO was getting some really wicked weather today. I know those tornado warnings don't usually ammount to anything but I was just checking in. Maybe the wind blew down all of the fast food places and that gigantic Hershey Factory on the 401 (I think it was the 401 ) and blew in all the lettuce and apples you could eat!
 
Cannon - Dang our liler-sized big-eating friends!! ;)

Scarlett - Well, like MissPrincess I'm a constant weigher. I know it fluctuates but I love to look anyways. ^__^;; That's why this is my challenge this week. Cause I'm one of "those" people. heh. Trust me... I'm already going through withdrawal. ;)

Jenn - OR all the chocolate. ;) heh. yeah... We didn't get anything here though. But my Mom said where our bakery is located, it was storming like hell. Which is funny cause I could look out the window and literally see the dark skies toward one side of the city. But it passed our house fine. No lettuce, apples or chocolate. :(
 
Week 5 Challenge: No Weighing Until Monday! (Cumulative)

Day Thirty:
Okay, off-day for me. Not horribly bad but TM will probably whack me again. Not cause it was horrible but I think she has a whacking addiction nowadays. :rolleyes: ;) :p

Okay, so today 1700 calories. A lil high.Total fat was 34% and saturated fat was 14%. Why? Cause lunch was at Taco Bell. Breakfast was my usual breakfast with cereal, milk, cheese & a couple of cherries. Lunch I had to go to an information session... And I was hungry. So the closest thing there was Taco Bell. I got a chili cheese burrito, a hard shell taco & a spicy chicken burrito. No fries or drink. Dinner was even more cherries and some curry with rice. Had 2L of water. :(

On the plus side though, I spent the entire day chatting with my boyfriend. ^___^;; Not actually beneficial for my diet... but meh. He makes me happy. Sides, it's not like we get to talk to each other often. Long-distance relationships are hard. Especially when we're 7 hours apart. ^___^; Heh. Ah well. Today, I probably broke all my challenges... but to be honest, I still enjoyed today. Heh. (When's you're in a giddy happy romantic mood, nothing can bring you down. :p :rolleyes: ;) :D ) Don't worry though. I'll do my best tomorrow! p'-'q​

Glad to hear you had such a great day and I remember a long distance relationship or two in my past and how great it was to actually get a chance to talk for any real period of time. You may not have been perfect diet-wise, but nothing is better than having fun and still getting there. Great day!!
 
One benefit of a long distance relationship - you get to really wow him as your body transforms because he does not see you every day. Okay, guys forget to actually say anything sometimes, but I think they notice. :)
 
Ahhh yes....the long distance relationship. I remember mine quite well. I married him!!!!! :D

Glad you got some phone time with him. I think love is of great benefit to weight loss. When you're in love you just want to look and be your best and it make you even more conscious of the choices you make.

Have a good one, little c!
 
Oh yay- I'm glad you had such a good convo with the bf.

As far as the Taco Bell goes- you might want to check out Paper Moon's diary. She has been giving in to her urge to go to Taco Bell, but she is ordering the items fresco style, which is lower calorie. I'm sure if you do some research at their website they have more info.
 
Cannon 2006 - Yep. Yesterday was a great day. I still have an emotional high from it. *giggles happily* ^_______^

Twinmom - O_O;; *is suprised TM didn't whack me... but does not complain* heh. ^___^;; Well, he's seen me via webcam so he won't be THAT suprised. He knows I've lost 50 some pounds and he's rooting me all the way. ^_^

Scarlett - Heh. Maybe there's hope for me and him then if you and ur hubby tied the knot! ^__^ Well, we didn't exactly talk on the phone. Phone is pricey! We talked via MSN, webcam and mics though. Hence free! ^_^ Plus we get slightly better reception via webcam and mics then over the phone for some strange reason. There's alot of static and everything is garbly. o_o?!?

Val - Yeah, I saw the fresco thing... I was thinking of ordering it but it was pricey. My wallet speaks louder to me cause it's pretty empty. ^__^; Don't worry though I don't have taco bell often. The last time I went (besides yesterday) was actually more than a year ago. I usually get subway or quiznos when I'm out. At worst maybe Arby's or Chinese food but again that's seldom.
 
Hi C! Glad you got some web-cam time with the BF. Ahhhh...love in the 21st century. Glad your spirits are up. Do you have anymore good recipes for me?
 
Week 5 Challenge: No Weighing Until Monday! (Cumulative)

Day Thirty-One:
Okay, not bad day for me... About 1400 calories today so that's pretty good. Only 14% overall fat and only 4% saturated fat. Wow. The lowest for me yet. And I didn't sacrifice on the calorie or nutrient intake! YAY! Okay, so breakfast was my usual multi-grain cheerios, skim milk & light laughing cow cheese. Lunch was baked chicken breast with no skin (lightly seasoned with salt), 2 corn on the cob (no salt or butter) and 1/2 a romaine lettuce lightly cooked without salt. Dinner was another chicken breast, 1 cup of cooked rice and 3 cups boiled cauliflower with a teaspoon of oyster sauce. Sodium today was 2150mg. Damnit. Must have been the oyster sauce! Though I think that number is lower cause I really did not season the chicken that much. And water intake was 2.5L. Yay. I'm proud to report I didn't cheat and look at my scale at all yesterday... BUT I did today. :rolleyes: So I ran down the stairs and back up as punishment.

It's Day 31 for me. I'm half-way through my challenge. About a month has passed by. How do I feel about it? It's going alright. So far I've lost 10 pounds since I started. That's pretty good for a month's worth right? Let's hope I can keep going with this.

In other news... It's my TOTM. (Don't gross out boys). May be Too Much Info... But it is relevant to my weightloss. heh. Anyways, why is this significant...? Cause it's my second TOTM this month. How is that possible? Well... Ysee, Ever since puberty, my TOTM was NEVER regular. In fact, it disappeared for months, years even. I was simply too heavy. When I told my endocrinologist about this, she made me go on some hormone pills cause she said I must start menstrating or else it'd be very unhealthy for me. So I started taking them once a day for the first ten days of the month. Anyways, I take it on the first ten days, I usually get my hormone-pill-induced-TOTM the next week. It's 2 weeks later and I'm starting to spot again. With NO pills. So I guess this is a happy thing that I've lost enough weight now that I'm getting my period again. This means I can stop taking the hormone pills my doctor said. So YAY! On the flip side, I'm a walking leaking pipe for the second time this month. Booo.​

Click to expand...

recipes? tons. whatcha looking for? ;)
 
I am glad that you got back on track. I never doubted you would. And I'm with Pineola. Good low-fat chinese recipes that can be adapted and made vegan would be amazing! I always get hungry when I read your diary because the food all sounds so wonderful.
 
Don't worry about grossing me out. I have two sisters so I grew up with women and now I'm a teacher so I work with them. They can still get me to blush if they want to, but I get 'em back in the end and yeah it is relevant to your weight.
 
sillygirl & pineola - Hmmm. I'll try to think of some good ones for ya guys. ;)

Cannon - heh. I'm glad I didn't run you off then! :D
 
Week 5 Challenge: No Weighing Until Monday! (Cumulative)

Day Thirty-Two:
Pretty good today cept I didn't get any exercise or dancing in. :rolleyes: But it was a good eating day. Let's see... Less than 1200 calories today but ALL my nutrient intakes is up up up!! Yay! Overall fat is only 15% and only 4% is saturated fats. Breakfast was multigrain cheerios, skim milk & light laughing cow cheese (am I predictable or what?). Lunch was a chick pea sandwich. Now you might be asking me "What the hell is a chick pea sandwich?" Well... It's sorta a cross between hummus and egg salad. I like egg salad but mayo is way too fat. And I feel hummus is too. Chick peas are great for you. It's the only bean that actually LOWERS your cholesterol. So... basically, you get about 1/4 cup canned chick peas and mash them up with a spoon, put some mustard (and just A LITTLE mayo if you want it creamier) and just a dash of white pepper to give it a lil kick. Then put it on two slices of bread. It's not EXACTLY the same as egg salad or hummus but it's way healthier. I ate mine with 10 large baby carrots. Snack was a Kraft low-fat pudding (only 100 calories!). Dinner was a cup of rice, 3 cups of cauliflower with some oyster sauce and 6 oz of salmon. I ate WAY too much salmon but it was yummy and I couldn't help it. Ah well... Least it was healthy. Technically, I should only be eating 3 oz per meal max. Ah well. Water intake is 3L. Weighed myself once so punishment was up and down the stairs once. I just can't help it! I'm addicted! :(

My grocery supply is running low. I came up with some ideas to eat for the next few weeks. So I gotta go out and buy more food. I'm thinking of making things like sushi; broccoli and beef; steamed salmon with ginger & soy; chili style tofu. Stuff like that. Hmmm.

heh. thanx Cannon... but I'm not in this bi-weekly competition. ^__^;
I decided not to join up cause I have this thing with joining too many challenges or competitions at one time. Cause I think that if I do, they won't mean as much to me anymore. So I try to only join one every now and then.

So, I'm not in this one. But I'll be rooting for you! yay yay!
