Qjay's thread

I hope he listens eventually. ;)

Today's food:
Sammich (420)
Big glass of milk (220)
Beef Jerky (100)
Dirty Rice, made with red rice! Mmmm... (500)

It's weird, but only 1240 cals for the day, and I'm not hungry, craving, etc. Then again, I am making up for my "binge" with three full meals yesterday, lol.

Took a nice walk with a friend (only a mile or so, but several small ups and downs) and had 8 smokes today. They might be why the food seemed easy to ignore, as well.

It's been a good day! :D Breakfast with mom in the morning, too!

It sounds like you're doing really really well with your food etc. Still watching the calories. I'm not counting these days but am somewhat relieved to see that my unregulated eating habits are not that bad.

I don't have a really good digital camera for pics. My son has a cheap little one, maybe I'll give that one a try one of these days.

Today we are driving down to Victoria, 2 1/2 hours away to get my son a tabla lesson for his 18th birthday. Tabla are the east indian drums, one big, one small, and he got a set for Christmas from my generous big brother.

Its a big trip for a little lesson but it will be a start for him.

Great to see you doing so well while you've been away.
 

Hey old friend!

First, thanks so much for continuing to visit my diary even though I've been a lazy girl the last few weeks.

Half of the diary forum is to keep your own diary. The other is to visit others! Both are equally important!!

Did I tell you about Chantex? I think that's how it is spelled. Both my parents, my aunt, several of my mom's coworkers, and a doctor that my mom works with all quit smoking with it. My dad has been smoking 30+ years and was able to quit with it.

It's funny. He is taking his cigarette money and using it for violin lessons. He's like a little kid. When we visit, he gets his violin out and plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for us.

Anyways, just a thought.

Well I am going to get MOVING!

 
Congratulations on your diary visit jajochku! It's nice to see someone giving Qjay back some ideas. He's full of ideas - very stimulating to have around - when he's not off hiking and enjoying RL!
 
Hiya Qjay,

wow, that's a lot of walking. Glad to see you are still hereabouts. Now I am working I find I have little time to come on the site, but things are still going okay- I'm still putting one foot in front of the other, and making progress.
 
Hi Qjay.

If you are waiting until you get enough diary entries before you post again - here's number 5. :)

I hope you're still having fun and getting lots of good food and exercise. :)
 
Qjay. I miss you.

I already missed you and now I am hunting back in my diary around the end of December and your post is there. I don't think I even saw it before. You asked me questions I never answered.

Well. You just BETTER be having a good time.
 
I reckon he just liked having people wonder about him in his absence last time and so he's waiting till we put enough posts on here, before he stops walking around with his friends, and exercising and moving house and looking for a job and comes and says "Hello". He probably won't even say "Sorry I'm late..."
 
OK. So today I finally got to Happy's diary and started reading and there you are again, reminding me that you are not here!

Hmm. Well a vibe can get through without you reading about it so ... *sends strong eat-well, enjoy-your-exercise, take-care vibe*. I hope you're having fun. :)
 
It's nice to see people missed me!
Yes, I HAVE been very busy, and I spent a couple of weeks with very, VERY limited interweb; basically whatever I could steal from the unguarded systems of my neighbors.
But I am back online, however the habit is broken. I'll come back when I remember to do so ;)
Hey, I updated my sig! Whaddaya think?
I'm now on completely intuitive eating, btw, but I do still count when I can do so, and I tried out a new restaurant last night, had fish and chips, and literally the deep fried food is so greasy it made me sick. LITERALLY, I could not eat the fried food; this is a good thing. :D
Deep fried has always been my weakness...

I'm going to come on here when I remember to do so, but the only thing that reminded me was the notifications to my email that my subscribed threads had been updated. Thanks for that. ;)
 
So in inches you are about a third of the way to your goal. That is really nice. I am a third of the way to my weight goal now. I wonder who will get there first - my money's on you! :D

It's really great to hear from you again. I hope you are going to update us a bit more. You're busy, you're eating well... it's fantastic about the food, *hugs* *pats back with enthusiasm* and... *nods encouragingly* *attentive listening posture*... *smiles* :) :)
 
There he is. Its wonderful how your eating habits have changed. Mine too. I seem to be locked in to eating light. We're on our way!

Missed you. I'm busy these days and not reading as many journals as I used to. Just wanting to do other things.
 
I forgot to say just how great I think it is that you're over fried food. It's so much more fun to do this when you feel like doing what you know you need to do. I love that. :D

BTW

I'm still ready to listen. :)
 
Qjay, you are my inspiration. Keep checking in whan you can to inspire me some more please.

hii qjay :) hope you are okay .. i havent stopped by in here for a v. long time.
you better be kicking ass with your weight loss ... although im sure that you are! x
 
Whoo-hoo! People posted!

I wouldn't say I am OVER fried food, but I am working hard to remember that deep fried food isn't as good as it used to be, and it really does make me sick. I still miss French Fries, so I will go snack on some of those every week or two, but I always order a SMALL fries when I do it, or just snag a few from a friend's meal in a restaurant.

The most important thing for me is that I now have the mindset, and I am able to skip a meal (sometimes) when I don't need the food. If I am just eating because it's time to eat, then I go do something else unless I decide that I actually AM hungry.
It's tough, though.
The weirdest thing is: I seem to be taking in 1200-1500 calories most days, just on my own preferences :D
Not that I don't slip over 2000 every once in awhile, and once I even passed 2500, but they are only on "food-heavy special occasions" like birthdays or other celebrations. It's strange, but the past few months have really made a big difference for me, and I have to blame all the help I get from you people.

When I'm home, I almost never remember to come here (my MSN reminds me with new messages, which is nice) but when I am out and about, I really get a lot of positive feelings and emotional support from knowing that I can come here when I get home (not that I remember to do it :p ) and I can share the positive and negative aspects of whatever might be causing me trouble.

Okay, enough rambling, I'm going to a barbecue! :D
