Shell's diary

Yesterday was a bomb. I think my husband is trying to sabotage my weight loss efforts! I told him to stop bringing me home sweets and stuff like that and he did it again last night. argh. I did good until he went out and brought back home strawberry milk. I had around 1300cals, which isn't bad.
Today I have had...
Breakfast:
toast w/ spread
200cals.

Snack:
yogurt
120cals.

Lunch:
veggies
tater tots
ketchup
around 300cals.

Not too bad so far. Just not as healthy as I would like it to be. Maybe to get some healthy stuff in there I'll have an apple for a snack!
 
Alrighty I don't know what it is but I can't seem to get motivated and stay there. I am very mad at myself right now and I want this hum ho attitude of mine to change. I also just got sick again! I have been up hours cause I have flem in my throat, yuck! I also had the worst saturday this weekend. My husbands nephew came over and it was hell. The boy didn't listen to me at all. Not very respectful to us or our things, house included. grrrrr. My hubby said he no longer is coming over if he wants to act like that, I thought that was good that he was standing up for me this time. But it also makes me wonder what his family says about me. a**holes. oh well, hopefully I can get back on track and get my weight under control.
 
Sorry about the crappy weekend. Too bad about the disrespectful nephew. Hopefully you won't need to put up with that again.
It really is hard to be around kiddos (even the well-behaved kind) and keep a healthy lifestyle of good eating habits and exercise. I find that when things get stressful (like going to the grocery store with all three!) I want to self-medicate with whatever I can get my paws on! Anyway, this is your diary, not mine, :) so I just wanted to offer a little encouragement because you are doing a very good job!

I am happy with that. Better than I have done in a long time. Thank you scrappy for the encouraging words. It wasn't so much medicating with food as not wanting to make myself bald with frustration!!! I mean I can understand telling my 3 year old to put her dishes in the sink becasue she needs reminders every now and then cause she is little. But an 11 year old knows to lift the toilet seat and flush, knows to put the dishes in the sink, does not eat in other peoples bedrooms, doesn't leave snack trash around my house, puts the cup in the kitchen, pees in the bathroom not out my back slider, listens when I say something the first time not the 3rd when it gets taken away.....aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The list goes on. :mad: I was pulling out my hair by the time he left. That's how awful it was! Now I am just dumbfounded that someone can act like that in another persons house. If my child did that, oh my! Sorry to vent about it...my hubby is mad but doesn't want to hear about it cause he doesn't see him that often. But hopefully I can get to 150 soon so I can paint my toes, they look so ugly. They are begging to be painted! :p
 
Fuunky~ The dog is doing great. He had to get his distemper shot updated. He laso had gotten hookworm, well having kids we had to nip it in the butt, needless to say they are gone! YAY! And he is on pills so they don't come back. So we have a happy healthy doggy.
 
Aww, glad the doggie is okay. I love animals. Sorry to hear about your nephew. Maybe you need to have a chat with his mother. I know it can be hard though, especially if she's an in law. At least you know you'll be raising your daughter to be a good houseguest and not a monster. 1192 cals is great!
 
Well today has started out better.
Breakfast:
Apple w/ peanut butter
135 cals

Lunch:

Well not too bad today at all. 1050cals for the day. I know I need more fruit and veggies during the day. More fiber. :D That is always a good thing. I am proud of myself again. Today was a good food day, yesterday was a good food day too just not as healthy. Yay. Now I just need to get my booty in motion. :p

It's pretty good. I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 154. So hopefully I am making it back down. A lot is probably just from not eating all that food during the day. I just really need to work on getting enough water in during the day. I was drinking Crystal lite, but it just makes me feel like I can drink enough. I think I am going to get the big water gallons to put in the fridge. They work pretty well with getting me to drink more water.
 
Good plan with the water. I also drink more water if it's bottled or in the jugs. I have a tap filter, but the store bought spring water just tastes better!
 
Well this was a free weekend. I didn't count calories just tried to eat healthy.I think I did pretty well. Just not with drinking water, I know I did horrible with that.
Breakfast:
cookie
150cals

Lunch:
Pump. Bread w/egg salad
337cals.

snack:
3/4 of choc bar
apple w/ pb
dry cereal
420cals

dinner:
beef stew
dipping bread
550cals

Not too bad to start off the day. Breakfast could have been better though. I got a recipe for wheat apple cookies in my email today and I think that I might try and make them. They sound pretty good! For 2 cookies they are 92 cals. Which is really good. I'll let you all know how they are. Gotta get cleaning. Alrighty so I had almost 1500 cals. Not too bad. At least I know I am not going to gain anything from that.

Mmm, wheat apple cookies, that does sound good. And I love pumpernickel bread-I may have to go get some now. Looks like you're doing pretty good. Don't stress about the breakfast cookie.
 
Alrighty bad bad me. I haven't made the apple cookies yet. My daughter is in the kitchen waiting for me now. We are going to make them when I am done.
Today have been a very shame on me day!!!
Breakfast:
milk
poptart
350cals.

Snack:
2 cookies
220cals

Lunch:
noodles
grilled cheese
290cals

Snack:
goldfish
cookie
220cals

AHHHHHHHHHHH so much junk food!!! I'm so mad at myself right. Not only is it not healthy for me, it isn't healthy for my kids to see the junk. Argh. Now I am off to make wheat cookies :(
 
here is the good part though. you are able to recognize what you are doing, and now you will have some delicious wheat apple cookies to munchon instead of other things. You actually didn't do bad calorie wize - but the content of those calories is what is not that great. Make sure you are getting in fruits and veggies and that you have enough protein in your diet. they will fill you up and keep you from eating things with empty calories. =)
 
Alright first thing is first. Wheat apple cookie may very well be really good but that recipe was foul! :eek: It smelt like potpourri and tasted like it. :confused: Yucky. Anyway I will be looking for another wheat cookie recipe. Yesterday was good, I ate about 1250 cals give or take about 100cals. I haven't been writing it down but keeping a mental note. I think when I write it down I get to discouraged if the numbers start to get really high. But this way seems to be doing better. I have gotten back down to 154, I am very excited about that.
Breakfast:
cereal with 1% milk
coffee

Snack:
apple with pb.

Lunch:

Dinner:

Hopefully the rest of the day goes pretty well. I have figured out that mid to late afternoon is when I start to eat myself out of house and home :eek: so I have started crafting with my daughter about this time for a couple of hours. She colors or plays with her clay and I have been scrapbooking her pictures. I need to get some more things for some of the pages but so far so good! :D My daughter just broke my eliptical trainer. :confused: I don't know how a 3 year that weighs 32 pounds could possible break something that I get on to exercise. My husband said he would take it apart this weekend and try to fix it. :( I'm so sad.
