SaturdaySaint's Diary

The Maya Program is the nickname of the "game" that I have for my xbox called "Yourself Fitness". It's AMAZING... over 4000 different workouts that it provides, meal planning, personal trainer, the whole 9! It has DEFINITELY grown on me (HATED it the first time).. but I think I'm gonna stick with that throught the week and on the weekends get on the exercise bike!
 
do ya play a lil halo 2 on there aswell? my boyfriend got me in2 it a while ago, I'm usually the only girl when they come over 2 play! but i suck pretty badly...mostly about 3 kills in a live game...
 
I have Halo 2, used to play it religiously... Haven't played in a while... I was pretty good... I may pick it back up this weekend for ole time sake!
 
thanks for pulling me out of obscurity hon....and I so appreciate your support!

You're the most wonderful helper, husband, father and friend.............

Thanks pequin! We're "nervitous"

So... it's 5:08 and I'm still at work...will probably be here for another hour. Not fun. So...I've eaten close to 1300 calories so far, and that's BEFORE dinner (which is outback steakhouse)...I feel incredibly guilty for how today has played out! I don't know why. It's not like i've gorged myself on food today... just... 1300 calories until lunch alone... ACK :eek: What am I doing? I normally am 200 calories away from being done for the day at 1300 calories.... I think MTM&K is right...I think I'm obsessing..which isn't a good thing I believe... I'm not gonna go crazy with dinner tonight... but... yeah... I'm not feeling the least bit like I've done a good job on the eating front today! I know my normal days are very low on the cal intake but... today just seems to have gotten away from me. MTM&K just told me that I'm Obsessing and to chill out... we're Celebrating... We're HAVING A BABY!!!!!!! :) Okay... I'm done... drinks on me:D :D :D :D

Well hidey ho everyone! It's a wonderful morning! It's 8:13 A.M. and I'm feeling fabulous today! I got up at 4:50, was starting the Maya Program I up'ed it to 30 minutes of weight loss training. Tomorrow will be lower body fitness but yeah, I was all set for it this mornin... I started going and it was good...wasn't sweating much so I paused the work out during a rest period and put a hoody on and the sweat started pouring! :) I was breathing heavy, workin hard, pushing myself. It was actually great. At first, when I started it, I was like... "What am I doing? I'm sitting here bounching around, flailing my arms...I probably look ridiculous..." Then I thought "But I'm gonna look DAMN sexy when I loose the weight! HA" and kept plugging along....and you know what? it was incredible!!! It wasn't NEARLY as difficult as the other day...and I think the reason is because my attitude was COMPLETELY different! I was actually looking forward to it this morning... Oh..and there was another exercise that I don't even remember the name of..but I'm pretty sure it was created for medieval torture purposes... not the bicycles again (THANK GOD) but I digress... it was awesome! Tonight is gonna be a little bit of a lax night for dining (unless I can find a calorie counter for Outback Steakhouse, then I can find something healthy on the menu (My office, as part of the year end bonus gave all of us a $50 giftcard to Outback! Too Right! (Is that an accurate expression Tomble?)

Great to hear you had such a good workout! Attitude is so important and really changes the whole process. Have you got to that point where you suddenly think `All I have to do to reach my goals is exactly what I am doing now'? I had that epiphany a month ago, and it made me feel damn good.

Oh, and for the whole Outback Steakhouse thing, it's all pretty funny. `Too right' is an expression, but it's not something you'd say as if it meant `excellent', it's more like `I agree very strongly'. There were a couple of other things on their website that made me chuckle, I'll have to go back and remind myself what they were :)

Dont stress to much about the calories, as long as the incomming is lower than the outgoing you're still gonna loose. It just means you wont loose as much. On the other hand if you do extra exercise tomorrow it outta take it right back off :)
 
That had to be the hardest menu decision I've ever had to make. And in hindsight... I feel like the Nazi General at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when he chose the sparkly jewel encrusted chalise thinking that what he had chosen was the holy grail and after drinking it was rotted from the inside out and the old Knight from the crusades looks up and says "He chose... POORly". And after it's all said and done

THAT meal was an all out tactical onslaught of nasty on my tastebuds and stomach!!! ARGH it was disgusting. I feel like my throat has just been subjected to a circus freak show...with tim burton inspired spectators! Horrendous I tell you. I'm so lathargic right now... I feel like Sloth from the Goonies *Sloth....loves...Chunk!* What a wrong move! It's not even a thing of calories anymore... that food was so bad that it hurt my feelings! And to top it all off! I had some idiot that thought he was clever fake an Austrailian accent when bringing me my food! I'm like "dude... calling me "Boss" and saying "G'day" doesn't make you Austrailian (Also the fact that I hear him talking to a waitress in a VERY Floridian accent!) So...chalk that place up as a no go! Plus the fries were saltier than *insert your own salt analogy here... I can't do all the work for you!* Anyway, I'm going to drink a fair amount of water with hopes of diluting any trace of the rancid rancidity rancidness that I consumed tonight. Okay... Rant done..time for Biggest Loser (as it frowns at me LOL)
 
Dude! I'm lovin' all the 80's movies references!

I hear ya about the food not being worth it. That happened to me yesterday with my snack. Soooo not worth the points.

Oh yeah, eating healthily sure does change your taste for foods. I love my friday night chicken and chips, which is my only allowance for junk food. I used to gobble all these fried chicken pieces down and want more. Now I get through a couple and I can feel the grease in my mouth, and my stomach feels odd, and I don't want nearly as much as I did.

Bloody hell, they actually try and attempt Australian accents? I can't say I've ever heard it done well, they normally end up sounding South African. I laughed at some of the fake accents in Lost, when they had the bits set in Australia. (They kept pronouncing Kalgoorlie wrong, as well as everything else!). Remember too, if you're saying G'day. It's not Gooday, it's more like Gidday. I should get on skype and teach you how to speak like an ocker so next time you go in there you can outshine them :)

Oh, also, calling people `Boss' is really really not an Australian thing. In fact it tends to go against the whole `fair go' idea that Australians like to believe in (whether it's true or not).

I keep going on about the whole Outback Steakhouse thing, but I find it thoroughly fascinating :)

Oh yeah, and an ocker is a working class Aussie, with a strong accent. Sort of how Paul Hogan liked to represent himself. The stereotypical true blue Aussie bloke, if you like. :)

A page out of my very own playbook. You speak the truth, this happened to me also.

QFT.

Wow...I never really realized just how much food effects my mood. I feel miserable this morning. Not just physically... emotionally I..I don't know... maybe "confused" is the right word. I don't know what or how I'm doing.... I don't think well to be honest. I did a half an hour with Maya this morning, worked on Flexibility (it sets up a full spectrum work out, giving your muscles a day to relax...tomorrow will probably be core fitness or lower body fitness)..I don't know. I hoped on the scale this morning.... back up to 234. Damn. I shouldn't have eaten that crap last night. :mad: It's my own fault and I sabotaged myself. I wanted to celebrate with something special for the fam because of the pregnancy. I need to take out the trash and go shower...I don't want to eat for a week. (That'll change by noonish but... dang my mentality wants to think otherwise!!!) I'll post more later.
 
Okay...so I had breakfast, I had some Kashi Go Lean cereal and a banana. Not too bad... I have a Pita with turkey, lettuce, tomato and cheese plus an apple for lunch for later... this day is already dragging (though I got lots done when I got to work already)... bleck
 
Aww, I'm sorry you're feeling down. Don't beat yourself up. Today is a new day and that's the great thing about life, each day gives us the opportunity to start anew! Have a great day my friend!

I'll try... thanks OHD... how are you this morning? Gonna check out your diary in a bit

I haven't made it to my diary yet...being trying to catch up with others first. I'm ok....got a lot of running around I need to do. Couldn't find my digital camera this morning so I've gotta run home and get it, along with a few other things. I've got a big surprise for my daughter this evening. I'm taking her to Charlotte (about 2 hours from here)to the Williams Sister Ronald McDonald 3 City Tour (Venus and Serena). They are going to play an exhibition match and have a little teen sensation sing...some boy, I have no idea what he sings. lol. I haven't told her, but her tennis instructor and I are both so excited we can hardly contain ourselves! So, I'm anxious about being her b/c I was so tired last night I fell asleep DRESSED and didn't get half of what I had planned to do done. :rolleyes: Which means I'll be slipping out of work at some point today to get some things done so I can get back here by 1 so we can leave. I'm excited but sooo nervous.

Enough of my rambling. :) Have a great day!
 
Thanks Twolilangels...

I think I have MTM&K worried. I've never (EVER) been this focused on losing weight, and it's almost consuming me. I think I am obsessing, and I dn't want that to be the case, I want a healthy balanced focus on the weight loss. I have no clue what's wrong with me this morning... it's frustrating..did you know that? :(
