Ok, so I had a diary before when I was initially trying to lose. I noticed one thing about it, and that I slipped a lot. A lot more than I should have. And it made me sad to read my diary entries knowing that I would see how little self control I sometimes had. I went back to Australia for a holiday to see family and friends and have gained 5 lbs back, and so I'm starting this diary as a fresh start to hopefully another new journey, a successful one.

What are my goals?
My goal is to be healthy, happy, and fit. I'm doing it for my health as well as a little bit of vanity- I am just like anybody else, I want to look good and feel good. I want fit into size 10 or 12 in regular sizes rather than a plus 14-16. My goal is to exercise 5-6 days a week, switching between doing only cardio for 45 minutes to an hour, and doing cardio and weights. Some days only doing cardio, and others doing both. My goal is to learn how to cook healthier recipes and acquire a new skill.

Do I feel confident I can reach these goals?
I am going to try my hardest and hope that while I build confidence, I also develop more will power to keep from binging. I think it also helps that I am going to be working less hours at work, as I wont be working the 5 am- 8 am shift anymore.

My food diary for today:

Breakfast:
1 fruit bowl with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit and pineapple and a bottle of water.

Later on I had a coffee with milk and two sugars. I allow myself one a day.

Lunch:
Tuna sandwich, lemon pepper tuna with 1 tablespoon of low fat mayo (I did not use the full can of tuna, only half of it and then put the rest in the fridge) on a onion bun.

Dinner I will fill in later. Anyhow...full day still, so I will come back on later!!

For dinner I had veggie quesadilla's with a side salad out at Casey's restaurant. Not the healthiest choice, but I only had the one item, where I would usually get two, and I had water to drink.

The plan for tommorow?
- Start doing up a plan of what I will eat for the week, and then planning out my grocery shopping around it.
- Using the time in between my shifts to cook my dinner so I can heat it up when I get home after 8.
- Having fruit for snack in between meals, such as green seedless grapes.
- Work out for 45 minutes on the treadmill or do half an hour on treadmill, some weights and then some light muscle work.

I'll let you know what I end up eating tommorow when I come home on my break. I did not work out today, due to the fact that I only just got home from my trip yesterday and the jet lag is hitting me hardcore right now.

Hey Sara Maria,

I was starting to wonder about you, so its nice to find you still here. I am glad to see you back at it:) I know what you mean about your diary being more a downer than an inspiration sometimes, I have that too in most my entries, but on the other hand, I think of this as a learning lession, you will have trouble in the start getting the hang of it, and at some point (like now) you just get more determinded and learn by mistakes in the past. So welcome back, and we are all cheering you on:) Have a nice day
 
Hey welcome back SM!!!!

I'm so glad to see your not gone for good!! You have a great attitude, if you get depressed reading back your diary, take a peek at your before and after pics for motivation instead :)
 
Ok, so yesterday....

Breakfast quiche- florentine. Water to drink with it and one multivitamin.

Lunch- fresh avocado with some pepper on flax seed bread and water.

Worked out for 30 minutes on the cardio and did some light weights.

Dinner- treated myself a bit- 1/2 portion of lemon chicken at my favorite chinese place and didn't take the rest home to tempt me. The place I go to, they give you the sauce separate so I used it sparingly and made sure I didn't go overboard. Water for the drink.

Goals for today:
~ 1 hour of exercise.
~ Walk to work.
~ Eat good foods.
~ Feel confident.

Having a really crappy day today. I'm not feeling like myself at all. I feel angry, and annoyed, and just not with it. I'm tired from the trip, my boss is being a pain in the neck, I'm worried about whether I will get to go back to school in January or whether I left it too late. I thought I had the evening off of work because all of the children booked in cancelled and then someone calls up and wants to bring her one child in for 1 hour and I can't say no so GAH.... I feel like buying a big thing of pasta and polishing it off, but I'm going to restrict myself and have a tuna sandwich. I forgot to have breakfast this morning because I was in a rush (I over slept and had to rush to work). I hardly ever get like this. I'm usually very cheerful and happy, and today I'm just......ready to scream...anyhow, I'm going to go and rest and hope that the woman cancels because Im really not in the best frame of mind at the moment.
 
I hate those days, I'll keep my fingers crossed for her cancelling:S Otherwise hope you feel back to normal soon:)
