SaturdaySaint's Diary

So yeah... as Christmas draws nearer... it gets harder and harder to avoid the normal "christmas trimings". Hot chocolate, cookies and the like. I had one small cookie at work...but as I said earlier, that was just compulsion really... It was there and I mindlessly grabbed it. it was tiny so I didn't even have time to spit it out... plus it was pretty good :) So.. we had a dinner that wasn't all that high in calories...so I wanted some hot chocolate. Last time I had some, it made my stomach kinda heavy... but it was still pretty good and only 120 cals. But I also wanted a truffle. Haven't had one in a while and I decided it would be a good compliment. YUCK.... such a bad taste! Again...I don't know why I freak out about "splurging" a little... it's very rare and it's never much..but I freak out about it... I have a physical challenge with maya in the morning and I'm interested to see how many more pushups I can do now. I did some tonight with my daughter on my back... .was cool! I promise that..if I don't get to everyone elses diary soon..I WILL this weekend/next week because I have A WEEK OFF!!! Yes! Can't wait... I promse I'll get to everyone soon! And thanks to everyone for replying... the help and support is wonderful!!!!
 
I hear ya, i cant wait to get my week off, just trying to snail pace my way through this crazzzy week!!! I still kinda beat myself up a little bit for indulging however...I will jsut eat a portion, I can now only just eat a portion it is great...like the peanut butter reece chocolate bells, I ate my 5 and then gave them away!!! Seriously thought the first one was to die for , literally the second almost equally as good but hte third , fourth and fifth, not so great!!! Kinda made me feel sick...It is amazing how we trully can change our ways!!! Im proud of you as always you are doing great!!! Oh and by the way it is me, twolilangels...:D:D:D
 
Morning all! Just checking in. After lasts nights splurge I was up and ready for my workout! I had a physical Challenge
this morning and it went REALLY well! I was able to do more pushups, crunches, AND squats. (Tomble, I was albe to go all
the way to 50 and I could have kept going... I was shocked!) And to get your active heart rate, maya has you do 2 minutes
of continuous, and progressively faster paced jumping jacks. both times I've had physical challenges, I've had to stop because
of being out of breath. Not this morning though! I was able to do it the whole time. Because of my progress (weight loss, increased
endurance, etc) I got a gold medal and it opened up new work out locations on the game...pretty cool! So I had my normal
breakfast and ready to go this morning!

My boss brought me this article about this guy that started out at 234, and went down to 150. I don't know....And he's 5' 7' and he's PUNY!
But I don't know if I should go that low...cause I am set for 185. I guess we'll see when I get down there. Took the guy
9 months to get down there..and that was with exercising 2 times a day for 30 minutes. It seems like I"m losing fast than
he did..but then again... I went down to 140 then added on 10 lbs of muscle. It's odd... Anyway...something to ponder.
 
Hey you are doing great! It is a good feeling to make it through your exercise without stopping for breath. I am proud you! Gald to hear things are going so well for you. Keep up the good work!!!:) :) :)
 
So... I just got done taking my lunch. I went out for a walk to wendy's for someone. It's about a 3 to 4 mile walk round trip. It was nice outside! WOOHOO...felt good! I really wish this workday would just end though...seriously... I'm so aching for the weekend!..and the week off! Again... I promise to lay catchup with everyones diary's this weekend/next week... got some presents to wrap :D :D :D which i'm SO excited about!!

Today's the last day of work! YAY.... can't wait! 1 week off! WOOHOO.... weekend here I come.
 
This is gonna be quick because I have a bunch of stuff I have to finish before the work day starts. We got a few items wrapped last night... stayed up too late. The holiday season will do that to ya! Had my work out this morning...it was good. But here's the deal... I've been slipping a little bit. Yesterday I had some hersey's kisses, or had a cookie... okay...maybe I'm not slipping all that much...I just don't understand. I mean..yesterday, I was at around 1538 calories. So I had a little extra helping of Low Sodium Stuffing along with dinner last night. And had some home made chicken salad in a pita. It was really good. But I'm kinda freaking...cause I did my exercise this morning, and my scale is telling me I'm UP 2.5 lbs. I dont' want to lose my progress....it's quite frustrating. I want it to continue to go down...and maybe by Monday I'll be back down..and maybe even lower... I need some advice. From those who have hit a plateu in the past, how long was it before you realized you were plateuing? Just curious. It's Christmas time..and I want to have a cookie or two...is that so wrong? I'm feeling weak today... like it's taking forever for the weight to come off... not discouraged... just a tad frustrated!
 
I sympathize, but lack expert knowledge. I just remember at times in the past my scales would drive me crazy, going up and down in unpredictable ways - that's why I have decided to just weigh once a week now. I expect Tomble can help you once he checks in because he weighs every day and thinks a lot about what might have affected it.
 
I wouldnt worry to badly, eating a cookie here and there and some chocolate kisses arent gonna sabotage you and kick you off track...Just eat little amounts and control it, I eat some crap still just in prtions...the holidays are hard, all the good food is around and etc...my weight flecuates alot at times also...
 
Don't beat yourself up too badly. I doubt that a hershey's kiss or cookie made that much of a difference. But I would say to be sure to drink EXTRA water when you do have a little indulgence because companies tend to load those snacks up with sodium to help preserve shelf life.

You're doing beautifully, don't get down just let it fuel your fire even more! Have a great day.:)
 
Hey SS!! You're doing fantastic - don't beat yourself up. A bit of indulgence isn't going to kill all of your progress. Enjoy the holidays. Actually a few naughty days can be good for your metabolism. Keeps it guessing so it doesn't get into a calorie rut. Hang in there!!! And Happy Holidays!! :D
 
Hi SS!!! Don't be so hard on yourself!! You know how to eat correctly, and you recognize what you shouldn't be doing. Therein lies the key to your success.
