Right now is tomorrow, Monday, the 1st, and the ah-hah moment

Woke up to Daylight's Savings Time. Wow, the world is in my favor right now. I mean, getting scholarships, trying out an iPhone for the first time, and not being in such an emotional funk. I feel like all this positive energy has to be balanced with some significant trauma. Oh, i'll keep my fingers crossed and both my eyes on the road 95% of the time.

Woke up to 206.6. Ok.

Breakfast 10am: Starbucks ham and cheese croissant-like sammie. They were out of the bacon gouda which is my fav, so I subbed for that.

Lunch 12pm: I was craving sushi buffet early in the morning, so my cousin went with me to a sushi buffet. The quality wasn't that great, but it did somewhat fulfill my craving. I ate lots of sashimi and cucumber/seaweed salad. yum-o!

I was so full, it hurt to sit in the car!

Post-lunch drank: iced black coffee

Went shopping in the mall, shared a large dippin' dots with the cousin

Went to watch Gone Girl, which totally left me thinking, and shared a medium popcorn and large diet coke, both unfinished with my cousin and aunt.

Gotta work this booty out!
 
Great news: I stepped in a gym today. Bad news, I worked out only 10 minutes. Better news, I ran into a friend and had a great convo for like 15 minutes.

Worse news: leaving the gym, I was suppose to stop by Trader Joe's but completely robot mode passed that turn and came straight home. Oooops. Then I made the choice to get a sandwich, mac n cheese, and had chips and a can of Sprite from lunch that I took. So, glorious delicious dinner. Not the smart choices I could've made.

I promised a friend I'd go running with her, so exercise will happen!

Also made an appointment with a psychiatrist. Hopefully get put on some anti-anxiety meds. It's a possible cop out from going the "natural" way, but I do what I do. The psych visits are covered, minus a co-pay. So, it's worth it.

I'm feeling oh so highly motivated. It's one of two things. I really am going to work out tomorrow and have an excellent diet to go along with that. Or, I may start my period in a day or two. Both would be winning situations.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.
 
So I woke up to 209.2, boo!

Breakfast: Starbucks Bacon and gouda sammie, tall black coffee, iced water, 350cal
Lunch: 4 slices of tuna sashimi, tempura assorted, and 4oz salmon terriyaki, salad, 1/4 cup white rice, miso soup, 900?
Late Lunch: 1 slice of combo at Sam's Club, 700?
Dinner: 2 chicken drumsticks, 1/2 cup of hummus, 4" french baguette, 2 cookies, 1050?

I played tennis with friends for about 90 minutes! Wooo, boy was I tired afterwards. LEFT heel is killing me throughout the day. Can't walk easily.
 
While I do understand that working out for approximately 90 minutes doesn't mean I can go all out shits in eats, but really? 211.2? That was a rude awakening and some tough love I didn't expect.

So I woke up, put on my pants on, thank GOD for 2% spandex in these jeans!

Breakfast: 7am: 1 Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sammie, 210 calories
Snack: 930am: 1 oatmeal cookie, 200 calories
Snack 2: 1030am: 1 Chobani yogurt, 240 calories
Lunch: 12pm: 1 chicken breast sammie with cheese and mayo, 2 servings of jalapeno dorito chips, 900 calories
Snack 1: 3pm: 1/2 roast beef sammie, 200 cal
Dinner: 830pm: 1/2 chicken breast with broccoli and cheddar, 3oz beef, 300cal

So, 2000 calories. I type this out at a Peets drinking Black Currant Tea while I wait for traffic to clear.

2000 calories isn't nearly at any of a deficit, but it should be compared to yesterday.

Gotta get back under 200 to really get the motivational kick to really lose weight.

I don't believe that this over 200lb is an actual fact.

I went to the yoga studio and couldn't find parking so I came to Peets to sit through traffic. Eugh! I'll try a different studio by asking my sister for a free guest pass.

I got no choice, especially if I want a residency. Would you believe a fat doctor? I wouldn't.

Weird when the text box doesn't show up.

Woke up to 209.4, which is better, but it's more of a realization that these high 205-210 are my "stable" weight and not a blimp. DARN IT.

Breakfast: jimmy dean bfast sammie and chobani yogurt, 410cal
Lunch: 4oz chicken (white + dark), 8 pieces of spinach and cheese ravioli with the parmesan sprinkles, 1/2 4" french baguette roll (1 longitudinal half), 1 oatmeal cookie, 1 cup 1% milk, 1100?
Dinner: jimmy dean bfast sammie, 1 cup 1% milk, 2 servings honey nut cheerios, 600cal

I'm feeling really thirsty, so going to go drink some water and run errands!

No gym today. Spent the whole morning in bed napping, which was so relaxing, but gotta study!

Who knew that those jimmy dean bfast sammie are delicious when they are egg whites, canadian bacon, and a wheat muffin? oh yeah!

I always have a jump up in weight when I really step up the exercise. It's usually followed by a good drop eventually.

I like how you "speak" on here. "1 longitudinal half", I like that. A half is a half, but the qualifier is interesting in a slightly nerdy way.

I hope your studies and weightloss go well!
 
Thanks Querus! I'm in the medical field, so being descriptive with the language is best! I like very specific descriptions, I'd do more, if I weren't so lazy. ;)
 
Well, well, well. Here I am! Next morning, weighed in at a cool 208.2. THANK GOD it is going down. I fall asleep with little anxiety that I won't have lost weight or got stagnant, but good thing it's going down.

I gotta drink more water though, I think yesterday I drank a total of 5 cups? I used to drink like 12 cups! Tonight, going out to a friend's birthday dinner. Sushi + karaoke? Okkkkay.

Breakfast: 4" french baguette with 1/4 cup hummus, 1 jimmy dean sammie, 5 potstickers, 850 cal
Lunch: 1/2 gyro, 1 cup greek salad, and 1/2 bread and dipping sauce (garlic, tomato), 450 cal
Dessert: 1/2 scoop of green tea ice cream, 200 cal
Dinner: 7 pieces of sushi, lychee mojito, 500 cal
//total: 2000cal....again =/
I'm laying in bed, it's just so icy cold out there! Under the covers with the three fury babies!

Well, I reluctantly got up when my sister insisted we go shopping and run errands. So up I got and for lunch we had mediterranean and dinner was at a sushi-karaoke restaurant.

THANK GOD the restaurant was cold, so I didn't drop a sweat in a long sleeve sweater. AND I sang karaoke for like 10 songs! Woo...I'm going to bed with a full stomach, of I don't know what. I hope I get a good start tomorrow morning out of bed!

Whew...woke up this morning at 208.0, but weirdly my stomach is still "packed" with food I think. My BMs yesterday weren't big at all, maybe I am a bit backed up? I am drinking water though.

Breakfast: 1 jimmy dean sammie, 2 eggs, 2 pearl tomatos, 1/2 chobani yogurt 550 cal
lunch: 1 cheese pupusa, 2 carne asada street tacos, 1 cup ceviche, 700 cal
Dinner: 1 chobani yogurt, 2 small persimmons, 300cal
1550 cal

OK, 2 days of complete slacking is enough! Gotta study today!

I ate less than 2000 calories and took the dogs to the doggy park for 50 minutes walk!
Also I started to study!

Lychee mojito, yum! I need to find out where I can buy lychees so I can make my own delicious drinks. I found some lychee juice at my local grocery store but all the cartoons were dusty and expired.... Guess it's not a popular item, haha.
 
So I woke up at 530am to a yummy fruit and veggie smoothie (tasted like there was kale, apple, banana, yogurt, and carrots). Then I went back to bed and crashed for a couple more hours. Woke up, weighed myself at a sweet 206.8, Fine. I'm between 205 and 210. But I'm going down and out of em. It'll be silly how "skinny" and accomplished I will feel at 199, but I gotta get back down.

I ain't going to lie, I was yelping food pics yesterday, pretty much like looking at food porn. That just means I am hungry!!!!

Pre-breakfast meal: 530am: 12oz veggie and fruit "green" smoothie, 150cal
Breakfast meal: 930am: 1 jimme dean sammie, 2 eggs and 2 pearl tomatoes, 400cal
Lunch meal: TJ persimmons salad, 1 chicken breast stuffed with cheese and broccoli, 1 serving french fries baked, 750cal
Post-yoga @ 630pm: chobani yogurt, 1 banana, 300cal

Planning to attend yoga at 4:30pm and then gotta volunteer at the homeless clinic at 730pm.

Woooo...woke up with a very subtle, mild headache. Feels like a dehydration headache. I also woke up to 204.6, so that was awesome!

I don't know what it is, even though I did have a large BM this morning, I almost feel like the jimmy dean sammies back me up a bit. They are just so convenient. Maybe I will find a different breakfast sammie to eat? I still have like 5 of these left, thanks Sam's Club!

Breakfast: jimmy dean Sammie, 6oz smoothie, 300cal
Snack: chobani yogurt, veggies, 250cal
Lunch: large (3 thin XL slices) veggie slice of pizza, 500cal
Snack: large (2 thin XL slices) veggie slice of pizza + juice squeeze, 550cal
Calories: 1600

I brought clothes for yoga, so no excuse! But I think I started my period...

For sitting on my ass all day, i think 1600 calories may put me at a maintenance. No yoga today, wasn't prepared for my period, if there is one a-comin'

evol makes frozen breakfast sandwiches that are much better in quality than the Jimmy Deans (I've had both). You don't get a biscuit (flatbread), but they have things like smoked gouda or goat cheese on them. Their breakfast burritos are yummy too. Target carries the brand sometime. They are lower in cals too I believe.

Just have a Jimmy dean day. 5 x sammys is 1,500 cals and you'll really learn if they are the culprit. ;)
 
Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by!

It truly is easy eating a 210 calories Jimmy Dean DeLIGHTS breakfast sammie than rolling through McDonalds or Jack in the Crack while commuting to class. It is cheaper too!

I will have to try EVOL! Today's sammie was a bit chewy, so I googled what happened and it sounds like I need to defrost the sammie before sticking it in the microwave.

Crazy news: I may have started my period?! After not having it for 3 months, I got it last month after my "fall break" of pure relaxation and laziness. This weekend, I was so lazy and relaxed, and look who came! Aunt Flo!

And I just figured out that my freaking iphone6 has an integrated step counter in the Health App!

SAY WHAAAAAAT. Game has changed.

Honestly, I was so tempted to go downstairs and cook a ramen with an egg after eating the pizza. I was still feening for some food -- i was bored i think!

I'm not feeling like yoga while I'm my TOM. It'd be pretttttty gross and I wouldn't be able to focus on poses.So, for the next few days, if I don't go to the gym or yoga, no big deal. Bigger deal is working on my diet and keeping calories at a deficit!
 
TOM and I'm able to maintain? I say that is SUCCESS!! 204.2 Down we go...down we go...

Breakfast: 8am: jimmy sammie and 2 eggs and 2 pearl tomatoes, 400cal
Snack:1030am: veggies and 1 persimmon, 100cal
Lunch: 1230pm: 6" ham and cheddar hoagie, without 1 side of the bread, 300cal
Dinner:430pm: 1 shrimp tempura roll, 7 pieces of sashimi (tuna, salmon), 600cal
Stress eat: 830pm: 2oz beef off rib (literally), 3 slurps of jasmine milk tea boba, 200cal
Calories: 1600

I am going to try to aim for 1400 calories. Just to encourage the scale to go down.

I don't know how people actually walk 10,000 steps/day, because yesterday I barely broke 2k! That's because I walk from the parking garage to class and back. And that's it! Today we had a classroom change, so that just bumped me up to over 3k. JESUS! I don't do any physical activity at all! No wonder I sweat buckets in clinic from all that walking.

I had to kill about 30minutes so I stopped by this sushi selling mom n pop store and couldn't decide, I knew I wasn't going to eat the rice under the sashimi, so I just layered the fish over the shrimp tempura (i love a good ol' deep fried CRUNCH) and it was delicious! The fish was super fresh and the rolls were huge that I felt comfortably full, like I didn't do much damage full, like no acid reflux tonight full, like I can live a balanced lifestyle full.

I drank about 70oz of water so far today which is more than I've drank in awhile. I'm hoping it'll help flush the toxins and get this period on its way and go.

Soooo cause of my stress eat, i won't weigh myself 2mrw and i'll go to yoga 2mrw nite. I'm excited for yoga actually. wooo!

I have to thank this forum with allowing an outlet for me to write my foods and thoughts. I think this has helped me thus far to lose the weight and to stay focused.

I can be self-destructive, and by setting a short-term goal, is probably going to make me quite destructive of my progress. Just weighing myself daily is difficult on my conscience, but that is something I choose to do.

Thanks WLF community.
 
I write like a prude. So boring.

So I didn't weigh myself this morning. After eating my stress meal. Also, I didn't get a good night's sleep because I was stressed out. I woke up looking hella tired. Went to McDonalds and did well!

Breakfast: egg white delight, banana, 350 cal
Lunch: 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat, with only 1 slice of bread, no cheese, mustard, 200cal
Post Final Celebration: 8oz beer, 1/4 chicken nachos, 5 fried items, 750cal
Dinner: bit of fruit
Calories: 1300

I didn't go to yoga today. I got out of my workshop at 615, and the next class was at 8. I didn't know what to do to kill time for like an hour. I'd kill 20 minutes, but not 75 minutes.

BUT! I went to Target and walked around for approximately 2000 steps. So not all hope is lost. Until I weighed myself when I got home and was at 206.6, so weighing less than 204.x won't be likely. Yet, I am cutting calories, monitoring, and making smarter choices.

SO LONG TERM, I am doing a lot better.

I woke up later than I planned, so I had to run out the door. I woke up at 204.8, interesting. Probably from 1) beer and salt and high fat from yesterday's meal and/or 2) a shot metabolism from not eating anything than the bit of fruit at 6pm. I didn't go to sleep with hunger pains (headache, stomach pain, throat void). Anyways, today is a new day and I decided to continue my health kick.

I ate breakfast during my commute and then came to campus to a "TESTING IN SESSION" sign on the lab door, so that threw a wrench in my plans. I've now come to realize that I am a complete emotional eater. My schedule going awry gave me these out-of-body cravings for food, when i'm not even hungry. When I am lonely, I eat. I remember a feeling while I am hanging out with friends or family, i don't even crave food or think about it. I really am holding myself back by allowing these emotions take over, i need other coping mechanisms!

I toed off my interphalangeal joint of my right hallux and it's been a bit tender for two days. Wearing my 1.25" booties were a bad choice yesterday cause they didn't help the situation. I need to wear some flat shoes. Any exercise or shoe gear that requires me to toe-off will cause pain. I'm working an office today, so I'm wearing my clogs, but later for the gym. I can't wait to get in my athletic shoes. I'll need to wear those and maybe tape my toe for the next week, just as a good safety precaution.

Since lab was closed and I don't have to be at work until 1pm, I'm killing time at Panera Bread. The first place that came to mine with plenty of outlets and free wifi and healthy options. Too bad it's a place that is frequented by 1st years. i'm so excited to try something delicious at Panera Bread but low in calories! That's what I love about Panera Bread, it's just stinkly expensive!

Breakfast: 8am: 1 jimmy dean sammie, 1 banana, 300 cal
Lunch: Panera Bread Turkey Cranberry flatbread sammie and Fuji Chicken Salad and 1 cut up apple, 600cal
Chobani yogurt: 240cal
Calories: 1150

I'm going to go to the gym after work and cycle a little bit. Walking puts direct pressure on my that interphalangeal joint, so biking should be less painful.

I went to the gym and did 20 minutes of interval training on the cycling bike and 10 minutes of interval inclined walking (with walking lunges) on the treadmill. Weird. I updated on my phone last night but I guess it doesn't show. Weird.
