Sasse's Weight Loss Diary

Probably not this week (done shopping already) - i stay off processed foods as much as possible (this counts out mince and sausages amoung other things). Though i should be able to find the time to make an exception at some point :D
 
Hey Sasse:)

I can see you are doing a very good job:) Getting healthy choices at work and thanks for the recipe. And sorry, but you kinder made me laugh about the whole sneaking to get to the gym, I just got this mental picture... I hope its not as horrid as you think, anyway the trainer sounds really nice and a good support, I mean calling you like that. My gym is good, but not that good:) Well, have a fantastic day:)
 
Hey good for you for your eating...Im assuming then your work out is at noon...I wanted to meet you after mine but I could go after we meet as well...that is no problem what time are you thinking ???

Thanks so much, Im glad that you got some ideas for yourself. :) I really do love cooking and finding things to eat that are healthy but still good. *im not a lover of carboard food..lol..go figure* For me, its just making the time to prepare it all that i find difficult.
Take Care

I definately have my treats...if i dont, i would binge..and thats just ugly for me..The baked Lays are pretty good... I used to sit at home and eat a whole bag of chips..*Not the baked ones either* Now i enjoy making a small little platter for myself, and I work it into my totals.. A few baked cracker, lite cheese, a few olives and pickles.. and then usually one fruit. That way it takes me a while to put it together, and im not going over board on the calories and fat. (Of course you have to watch how many 'little' things you do put together or you have a whole lotta calories..lol

As for coffee: Im really looking forward to it as well.. Of course bring your little one, that is totally fine by me. As for where to meet, Im doing a bunch of running around today, so i will look and see whats around. Im ususally having coffee out towards Langley...lol..so im not sure. We will get it all figured out. :D
Michelle :)
 
Today was a pretty good day for me. I started out with having a bit of a sleep in, which lately I have not been doing at all. Ive been running on far too little sleep.
First meal: 1 banana, 3/4 cup cottage cheese, yerba matte tea

Second meal: sauteed spinach (I eat lots of spinach because i bought one of those huge containers of it, and now i have to use it all up...lol)
Anyways...it was cooked with mushrooms, onions an red pepper, and 1/3 cup nut and seed mixture (sunflower, pumpkin seed, almonds)
1 veggie patty
Water

Snack - crab
I usually eat dinner before work but i knew i was going out after

Dinner - was a few different things because i had my girls night ( get together once a month with some friends) and we all bring snacks..
I brought a veggie platter...I had some fruit and dip, veggies and dip, 5 meatballs, salsa and about 10 chips..
I had nooooo sweets..(that is a good thing for me, because if i have one, i usually want more.)
I also had one gingerale and water

I find that every day is a new challange..:D
Michelle :)

Hey there, it really was great meeting you and your daughter. She did really well considering all she really wanted to do was go to art class..lol. My workout was .... great... painful..but great...lol. He was supposed to be with me for one hour, and ended up spending 1 1/2 hrs with me. He taught me some really good floor exercises and pushed me hard on the circuit. Then, when i thought it was all over, he made me do one mile on the treadmill. He pushed me way out of my comfort zone, and... nothing bad happend to me... the earth didnt open up and swallow me...and not one of my limbs fell of... So, im guessing it wont hurt to stay outside my comfort area...lol.
Im going to be hiring him as my personal trainer once a week.
Having you as a walking partner would be good, i wont do it by myself, so i think its a great plan...lol
Talk soon
Michelle :)

Michelle :)
 
Ya I'll say, I was happy to get home when I did and that wasnt until 3 but my youngest and I had a great day...and I was lazy and a bit down in the dumps cu the kids behaviour...so I sat around and watched tv and made the oldest do the laundry and make us dinner...LOL...didnt even do anymore exercise:( Oh well didnt feel like it...

Almost midnight, and im still up, infact i just ate...sighs.. one of thoe nights im having. I will start off with my diary, and then go into my day.. lol
Breakfast: (11 am) 2 scrambled eggs, sauted spinach and 1 red pear

3pm: small non fat latte, trail mix cookie

5pm: 1 McDonalds hamburger *no fries* bottle of water

7pm: Dinner at home with boyfriend, spinach and almond stuffed chicken breast with organic tomato sauce and 1 oz of goat chedder (between both pieces of chicken)
carrots and zuchini,
quinoa
1/4 small honey dew each (dessert)

finished my second liter of water

12pm, having a major binging urg. Was ready to put on my shoes to go through a drive through.
Opted for tuna on toast, with no mayo and a little grated cheese
More water
This seemed to help pass the BIG binge
 
B]Tonight i watched a show on tv called the 33000 calorie diet. It was about 4 individuals that binge on a huuuuuge amount of calories. One woman gained something like 42 pounds in 2 - 3 months. She weighed 360 something pounds. At my heaviest, i was about 350 and i ate an almost unreal amount of food. I was her...well ... I still am her, just not as big. I believe the biggest person was over 700 pounds..There whole entire life revolved around finding ways to get their *fix* of food. Even though their lives were painful, limited, and possibly very short, they kept eating. Its NOT that they didnt care, they honestly couldnt help it. One gent wrote it into his contract with his health providers to absolutely not give into his food demands. He knew that was the only way he could stop eating himself to death. I have been working on what i eat, and im trying to be aware of what is going on inside me, emotionally, physically and mentally. Its not always an easy thing to figure out. My boyfriend and I sat and talked about the show..and I said to him, that i felt horrible. because as i watched the show, i was hungry. *we had just finished eating*
It made me realize how much this impacts my life. Before i joined this group i had gained amost 15 pounds in one month, because of the amount of stress i was under at work. My body was sooooooo unhappy with me..and my self esteem just crashed to an all time low.
When i was watching this show, and realizing i felt hungry, it brought back that feeling of shame.
This all led it into me needing food in an almost uncontrollable way. I did manage to provide an alternative, thank goodness, but this has left me feeling pretty pissed off at myself.
I know that it is a process that i will always have to deal with, and that i am taking the steps to heal this disease, but..im just having a sad moment i guess.
Tomorrow im heading to the gym... get my program in gear. That is a good thing :)

I had a good sleep last night, and i feel more focused today. I did sleep through my gym time though...ive got to go to work soon, but im going to do my best to go before work tomorrow. It will be very early but, thats good..lol
Ill keep telling myself that.
Michelle :)
 
It sounds like a good plan - and getting a good night's rest is sometimes worth not getting the work out!
 
wow that show sounds like a pretty good hard hitting show.
Its funny how you see other people and think 'my god was i really that big?' or even 'shit i didnt realize how bad i was until now looking back'

You are doing awesomely! Keep up the good work!
