Reaching For the Dreams....

Well, getting back on track is a lot harder than I thought. It seems as though every where I turn, I'm eating something I shouldn't be. Yesterday was pretty bad. 2 hot dogs, burger, fries, 2 bowls of cereal...It was bad. I hope that going back to volleyball today will help me get back on the right path. Hopefully I can control myself better from now on. But dang it's hard.
 
this morning I did pretty well. My dad laughed at me because I was eating a refried bean(fat free) burrioto for breakfast. That and some iced tea... yeah yeah, weird I know, but eh, who cares? I've finally dropped the weight I grabbed in the Cape, and now I'm getting back on track.
 
well, going strong today, had a turkey sandwich for luch, and i was satisfied with only that. Now that I think about it, at the end of the trip, the last 3 days, i pretty much ate nothing but crap. Burgers, pizza, bread, ice cream... you know, the genaric last days of vacation food. BAAD Idea. The next 2 days, I felt like crap, I was cranky, and had none of the lasting energy that I usually have. I blamed it on the food. And was right. As soon as I stopped eating the bad stuff, my moods leveld out, and I got my energy back. So, just thought that that was interesting enough to put here.
 
My scale is seriously wacked I think. I got on two days ago, and it said that I had finally gotten back down to 204... Got on this morning, and it said that I was back at 209?!?!?!?! I know that I havn't been eating that much. Maybe I'm drinking a lot, but not 6 lbs. Tell me, does anyone know of a good brand of scale that I can trust?
 
I don't know if mine is good or not, but it was very complicated to set etc..so I would not recommend it. Glad to see you are back on track. Very interesting how eating badly made you feel. Have a great week.
 
Hi Xorie!
Your trip sounds great. I love family reunions! I am really down on scales right now. I don't get how temperamental they are. I think it's best to weigh in once a week. Otherwise, you start to go a bit crazy! Plus as women we have such hormone issues that impact our weight.
So is Team 4 going to rock???? Yippee! I'm glad we're on the same team!
 
Hi Xorie,
Welcome back, it sounds like you had a great vacation!

What is your food plan like? Are you following one in particular or counting calories?

I definitely did NOT want to count calories, but since I started, I have found it *so* liberating. I want to eat around 1200 calories a day. At my weight, that works out to 2.5-3 pounds lost per week (since my daily maintenance is 2724 calories a day). So knowing how much I want to lose and how many calories are going in really helps.

I know that I couldn't follow a "diet" that has a prescribed meal plan, because life goes on around me, and there are times when I do stop at a fast food - so I just make sure what I eat fits into however many calories I have left for the day.

I also wanted to pop in and say we're on the same challenge team! Yeah :)
Let's kick some poundage!
 
No, I don't have any "set" plan for dieting. Just reducing the amount that I eat, and the kinds of food that I eat. And yes, TEAM 4 is going to kick some serious flabby butt! We need a name too, any ideas?
 
Hi Xorie,
I started out doing what you're doing, just cutting the amount I eat and was losing about a pound a week - it's amazing what a small change in what we're doing can do!

I've heard Belly Busters as an option, I haven't heard any thing else yet.
 
Ok, did well yesterday, gave into a small craving and had a little of my mom's pecan bars, which are extremely rich and bad for you, but ooooh so tasty. lol. Other than that, I had a good breakfast, and had a thing for turkey, so I had turkey sandwiches. One for lunch, and one for dinner. And that was it, along with about 60 oz of water. Not too shabby.

Also, doing a challange, and I'm a BELLYBUSTER! woot! We are so going to rock! And win. :D

going away to a vb camp, and I think i'll be back on Sunday, but i'm not exactly sure. *rolls eyes* I'm so well informed.
 
checking in! current weight, 204.5 Hopefully when I get back from torture (AKA volleyball camp) I'll be able to weigh in lighter than that. No, NOT hopefully. I AM going to be lighter. Positive thinking is always good!
 
was kinda bad, but I have to deal with it. Had pizza for dinner. And a glass of pop. But then I went outside and played volleyball for 1/2 an hour, while gettnig eaten alive by bugs. I also plan to do my daily 100 crunches, 25 pushups, and 3 min wall sit and some other strength conditioning stuff. Gonna go running tomorrow after I teach my piano lesson, so hopefully I will control myself tomorrow and get back on track.
