Ready-Set-Go

well, no need to be proud anymore...i ate the pita bread for a 3pm snack and had a bite size 3 musketeer damnit

but i came home and ate whitefish/a little brocolli and cheese and some whole wheat pasta.

i felt guilty about the pita bread and 3 musketeer (and the brocolli and cheese) so when i got home i used the kickboxing bag for 10 minutes and then walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes..then i lifted a few weights.....


i hope i didnt mess up too badly
 
I've found that when we deny ourselves those sinful little cravings we end up binging more in the long run. Think of it this way- it could've been a KING size instead of a bite size. Kudos for you having the self control i didnt when i first started! My husband brought me home one of those huge candy bars you get at the grocery store and there was no hope left. Luckily, karma ended up getting me in the end. I got a bad stomach virus the next day and wasnt able to keep anything down.

If there is one thing that makes you never want to look at food again its being sick.

But i came out of my sickness with a new goal: i refuse to put junk into my body...i mean ive only got one right?

good luck karebear i know you can do it!

2 lbs down & 20 to go!
 
No need to feel guilty over either bread or a tiny candy bar. Either they fit into your plan, in which case they're just food, or they don't fit into your plan, in which case you get back on track and move on.
 
i am really anxious to weigh in monday with my trainer. (good anxious)

i did have a snack late last night....some baked lays chips, a whole wheat pita with a little cheese. i think i am pmsing..cuz i can feel it in my tummy...

i still feel pretty strong but i know how my eating pattern gets...carb city...argh

for breakfast, i drank a little extra protein shake with a banana/raspberries..

i had a salad and some grilled veggies/chicken with just a sprinkling of whole grain rice on the mixture. just to give it some "bulk"

i just filled my water jug but i feel kindof hungry still..i have an apple and tomato juice i can rely on if if the water doesnt work
 
yesterday was a crazy day...i decided to go shopping and went to the mall and walked 30 minutes...

my hubby wanted to go to the casino and i had every intention of eating light all day and then eating healthy when we went to dinner.

I did a protein shake early (around 9:00 am) and went shopping, I wanted to go to the cemetary and visit my dtrs grave right from the mall, but i was starving so I got a grilled chicken sandwich fries and diet coke....i took the bun off the chicken and ate the chicken, and then 1/2 the bun....i then ate probably 8 fries.....my dtr LOVED mcdonalds so i put the other fries on her headstone....

so we get to the casino and my hubby buys me a glass of wine...and of course cuz i was hungry i get a buzz...he then buys me another glass...i tell him...I gotta get something to eat. I was so hungry that when we sat down I ate a piece of bread out of the breadbasket.....we ordered and split a greeksalad (i didnt put dressing on mine) and a chicken kabob and carrots. I also took a tiny bit of mashed potatoes......we walked quite a bit at the casino....and i ended up having 3 glasses of wine...bad bad bad..

so this morning i was feeling very very guilty.....so i did a Billy Blanks taebo workout tape and 20 minutes on the treadmill...i was sweating pretty good after that...

i drank about 60 ounces of water (i took someones advice and made some regular brewed ice tea...kind of weak...and replaced my diet pop with that)....

i have done the protein shake for breakfast, a salad and some northern beans for lunch, 2 bowls of raisin bran and soy milk (i was dying for something sweet to eat and it really hit the spot....about 20 lowfat cheezits and a cup of turkey chili (with very few beans)....

i am really worried about my weigh in tomorrow....i am not so much worried about if i lose or not as my attitude if i DONT lose or if I only lose 1 pound...i have worked pretty hard this week but really its just week 1....i have exercised and tried to eat pretty good, although i have had a few slipups.....

i just hope i can keep the right attitude
 
My foot is bothering me probably from the exercise...I bought new shoes but I still seem to have trouble with my feet (damn years of cramming them in little skates). I took a motrin and ate a bowl of raisin bran and soy milk for breakfast....hoping that the motrin will kick in before i see my trainer.

still worried about the weigh in...afraid i did all this work this week for nothing just because i had a bad night on saturday....just hoping to keep my motivation level high even if my weigh in doesnt go as planned...if i need to do my daily affirmations and when i weigh in be excited and grateful even if its just 1/2 pound....and if i dont lose anything i know that i shouldnt quit because its just a number and everything i have done this week has been toward a healthier me (except the wine)...and the tiny candy bar and the bread....arghhhhhh

okay okay okay..keep your mind positive Kare
 
Hi Karebare! Hope your foot is ok!! Don't be to hard on yourself, remember to take it day by day! Your in this for the long run and are doing great! Keep up the great work Karebare!! Having fun w/hubby is a good thing! Enjoy it! When you go over in calories, just compensate the next day. Have a great day!
 
I lost ONE pound

sigh

I am a little dissappointed but my trainer said just be patient and I know she is right

she worked me out pretty hard........and then i went and bought stuff for lowfat chicken/greek salads for dinner

i made steamed carrots for lunch...........

need a shower...
 
Congrats Karebare!! You are losing the right way and eating healthy, things to be proud of!! Great Job!!:hurray:
 
Hey, you lost a pound! And that's a pound more than you would have lost otherwise.

Your trainer is right - be patient. :)
 
Morning Karebare! Just checking in to see how you are doing today!

Biggest loser is on tonight!

have a great day!:cheers2:(diet rootbeers for us)
 
Losing one pound is great! You're moving in the right direction. Sometimes I find that when my clients think they worked really hard and don't lose as much as they would have liked to they see the scale go down more the next week. Not sure why, maybe it's turning fat into muscle, or maybe the scale likes to torment us, or it just takes time for our weight to catch up with us. Anyway, don't let it get you down.
 
my computer crashed so i am on my old harddrive (runs so slow). my computer is still under warranty so i had circuit city clean off the files on the drive...i didnt want to lose any of my dtrs' things...and i can reformat the drive..they dont think its totally crashedbut something obviously happend with windows.

i was okay with my diet yesterday..........

oatmeal for breakfast
a turkey burger (with mushrooms) on wwbun
salad
a yogurt
fish andveggies for dinner
and i had a few wholewheat tortillas with a little cheese melted on them for a snack
a small vodka and diet tonic with a twistof lime (probly why i ate the tortillas)

today

raisin bran w/soy milk
lunch...beef barley soup and salad
dinner chicken caesar salad with only like 1 tsp dressing...i ate it kinda dry...my dtr had a competitionfor skating so i had to eat on the run. i only used like 7 croutons.

i walked the mall last night...just got home tonight so no exercise....

sorry have been absent...

water intake so so.....
 
i didnt exercise yesterday

maybe i will go mall walk today

i had an oatmeal for breakfast but there is a lot of sugar in that oatmeal..its one of those instant ones..not my best choice but of course i was running out the door.
 
Hi Karebare! Finally ran to store and picked up soy milk, like you suggested. Put it in my raisin bran this a.m., not bad, actually pretty good, so thanks for that suggestion! Rep for you!!

Walking the mall is great exercise, I'm thinking of buying a pedometer to see how many steps I actually take in a day.

Your diet seems great, keep up the great work!

i got my computer all up and running

i even added my fax/scanner/copier to it..it is new...i can now fax/scan/copy and send to anyone a picture of my hand or buttock...it might look better in black and white...

maybe i can do this and chart my weight loss by my copied buttock.......

i dunno...

what do u think...
 
Hey you've lost a pound already. Whatever you're doing is working. We're in the same boat. I could surely stand to lose 50 too but I'll be happy with 35. Let's do this together!

Next week you'll lose another pound. I think the beginning is the toughest part of the journey because we have no results for our efforts but once those pounds start adding up our confidence grows and it WILL get easier.

Let's go!
 
So everyone (the three people who are visiting me ;-)...stand up and give me cheers for going to my brothers bday party at my moms last night and NOT eating pizza or oyster stew....now i know that is an odd combination BUT my mom asked my brother what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said oyster stew which basically is a stick of butter, cream and oysters heated up...the kids of course werent going to eat that so it was pizza for them.

i went grocery shopping yesterday and spent 250 bucks...it is so much easier with the hubby though dieting with me....he is on the band wagon and this morning when i hugged him i could feel his tummy smaller...he said "right" and rolled his eyes when i complimented him but its so true...he seems smaller. he doesnt want to get on the scale..i think he is about at 320.....i am very proud of him...together we are a fierce team against the battle of the bulge. My youngest got invited to florida and she too says she is going to get healthy eating with us but I noticed last night she still hit the pizza.

we played cards (eukre...sp?) and I was on fire...started out slow but we ended up winning 2 rounds of the 3 played....it was wierd though a few years back the beer woulda been flowing and shots and here we are a bunch of oldies (44 - 49) drinking coffee....no wonder my playing was better without the booze....

I told the hubby i was having ONE small piece of cake and I did....very small sliver of strawberry cake.

I am reading Nutrition for Idiots....it is really focusing on the food pyramid

I got this idea to make a egg stratta like i make for christmas...so I took this little dish I have from Pampered Chef..its maybe 7 inches by 4 inches oval...and put 2 slices of whole wheat lite bread in the bottom (torn up)...then on top of that I poured a 1/2 container of Southwestern Egg Beaters and let it sit an hour..then baked it at 350 for 45 minutes...oh ya i sprinkled maybe 3 TBS of chees over it....I would say there is 3 servings maybe in it (3/4 cup each) and I ate it with a small can of unsweetened grapefruit juice...yummy.

We are getting more creative with our cooking...last night for dinner I took chicken breasts and put taco seasoning on them and then made soft chicken tacos with whole wheat tortillas...and then black beans...

I skated yesterday but coaching isnt too much about moving on the ice....today i have already done my arms/abs with the ball and i am going to walk a little later

I had not only my breakfast stratta, but a few almonds when i got hungry i little bit ago.......and a few peapods....

hubby made chili (already) but i am going to try to wait till the game comes on at 3 to eat it....

boy i am a windbag today......

tv is boring...i should be doing laundry....that would at least make me move around alittle more than watching reruns of America's Next Top Model.....

okay time to visit evee and check out some other journals...

hugs to all (3) people who visited...

and cheers....diet rootbeers for us..:cheers2:
