Qjay's thread

wooo that hike has finally come around :) you will feel great after the exercise and fresh air
thanks for the salad tips btw i am going to try a couple of them out after i come back from my trip
 
Good to hear you got over one of your homework humps and are getting the other things you really needed. :)
 
Crap! No hike AGAIN! Well, it was rainin' and I bet those grapes were sour anyhow. :(

Food today:
Breakfast at Dennys (600) :)
Smoothie w/ my step-mom (300)

So.. I'm up to about 900 calories! :D
Still have the night wide open, too!

Should be interesting...

I dunno Bud.. Denny's never ever got along with me.. I'd be living in the bathroom today.. Hey.. that might work for weightloss for me.. *g*:rolleyes:
 
Well, I did get the bacon crisp and the eggs were whites only, the english muffin was dry with the butter on the side. It's normally 678 calories, and I figured it was down about a hundred, but I round my numbers off, so I just said 600 in case it was a little bit more.

Total food for the day:
Breakfast (600)
Smoothie (300)
Beans (600)
Corn (150)

Total for the day 1650, so it could be a lot more.
Damn, I have GOT to do some hiking soon!

Well, in another week at the most, I'll have more time...
Just gotta finish my freakin' classes, right?

Have fun, I'll be back when I wake up!
 
Looks as though it worked out a light day foodwise. That's probably a nice thing for now and again. It sounded like you were happy with it anyway. :)

No walk again! *Pouts.* I guess it will be along soon.

It's nice to hear you feeling more cheerful still. :)

I had a good, long, busy day, and I think I came out low on the calorie intake, again!
Long road trip; got to watch a friend do a voiceover for a scene in a movie!
Because I drove and made sure he got where he was going, he bought us lunch at Sweet Tomatoes! :D
It was my first time going, and I got a little crazy with the salads and soups :p

It was good, though, and probably about 1000 calories. I had 3 types of premade salad (with dressing already in them) and some other veggies on my plate. Then three different cups of soup (Tomato Parm, Albondigo, and... something else I don't remember) plus a small baked potato with some sour cream and onions and bacon crumbles, and three pieces of fancy bread. Dessert was a little Frozen yogurt, some sugarfree chocolate mousse, and a little tapioca pudding. I only had about 200 calories for dessert, because I wanted to taste what they had, not pig out on it, but it was really good stuff.
So, for my total day of food:
Sandwich (400)
Salad bar (1000 or so, total)
Total: 1400 for the day, is my guess.
Smokes, about a pack. :eek:


Need to buy more grapes and bananas. I have actually put together a shopping list for the first time in weeks and weeks! It's time to go get some real food :)
 
I spent a lot of time, several hours, goofing off at a friend's house tonight. I'm getting ready to do a run of horrid nastiness for my classes, and then I am finished! :D
If I even do a halfassed job on my finals, I pass all three classes, easily. If I get my finals grades and projects in with high marks, I get to ace all three classes! Finishing up at 90% plus in all three classes means I stay on the Dean's list and Graduate with a 4 year degree, in under three years, with honors.
I'm actually feeling less negative than usual about that sort of thing, but I blame the fact that I had a good night. ;)
I REALLY should have been studying, but I wasn't. Me = "out and partying" :p
I'm such a slacker, lol
 
LOL. You're sounding great. Glad to hear about some more fun. It should help you roll through this last big push. :D
 
Qjay, wow a 4 year degree in three with honors? damn! Good going!
You are really getting control of your life in all manor of things eh :)

Well done!
 
Yeah, I have been having a few good days, it's a nice feeling, but today is a big deadline and here I am posting on the WLF instead of taking quizzes and finishing papers, lol.

Kelly, It depends on which calorie amounts you mean. At the salad bar, I ate a lot of food, but overall, it wasn't much for the day. I had a problem with my medication which screwed up my sense of hunger, so I didn't bother to worry about food for most of the day, I just paid attention to how I felt (dizzy/tired/sick/whatever) and decided that if I felt my blood sugar crash, I'd eat something. It never happened, so I didn't worry about it.
The medication error was a bad thing, but it did feel nice to be able to go around and do my day normally, without having to pay attention to my hunger pangs. If it wouldn't cause me some serious problems and if it didn't have ugly side effects, I'd really consider it as a way to live my day-to-day life.
It was really nice to be able to go do things without "having to eat" or "trying not to make a pig of myself"; but that just is not an option. You just don't mess around with your diabetes medicine levels, not without a doctor testing you regularly, and I don't have insurance.

Wishes, thanks for the props! :D I just hope that the accomplishments mean more to an employer than my looks do. Being overweight means "He looks lazy", no matter what my qualifications might be. I'm making things better as I go along, at least I hope I am. Sooner or later, it'll be some other schmuck who is "the fat guy".
Well, if the world was fair, it'd be a boring place, right?

Okay, today so far:
Sandwich (400)
"Instant" Bean Threads Vindaloo (500 ish)
"Instant" Bean Threads w/ Curry (500 ish)

The "instant" consist of Bean threads (250 cal), butter or oil (200 cal), and Peas (50 cal) with some curry powder or vindaloo paste and other seasonings. (Thanks, Kelly!)

Hi. I hope you were able to work wonderfully well today - and will for the rest of the week. When it comes to study and exams, luck is allowed too, so I wish you luck with it all. :):)
 
Thanks :D
The luck is that I got this far without anyone figuring out what a fraud my homework is! :p

I'll take all the luck I can get! I'll tell you about how my luck seems to run, sometime; it's like a cautionary tale, but funnier.

Okay, so "more food" and I am topping up my calories for the day and not hungry right now, but if I want a snack later on, Imma go have one, dangit!
Food:
Sandwich (400)
"Instant" Bean Threads w/ Vindaloo (500)
"Instant" Bean Threads w/ Curry (500)
Leftover beans and corn (300)

3 smokes so far, maybe a couple more to come.
I need a break from homework, so I am going to post here and do a little research for my assignments, so that I can finish all refreshed from my break.
Or some crap like that. ;)
