starryeyed's diary*

gots to give my shoutouts to loseforreal, anne and stacey :waving: thanks!!

stacey, i didn't join the christmas challenge, but i did join the november 2lbs a week challenge- YAY. i think you joined that too, right?

So it's early morning, all I've had today is a Vector bar, maybe I'll cut myself up a few strawberries...

I'm going to work today and not looking forward to it all. After I'm done my first job, I usually have a 2 1/2 hour break in between in and my next job... but today there's a party at the other restaurant, so I get no break at all, and I have to go straight to the other job... not cool, i'm going to be so tired

oh well, time to get on with the day...
 
Stacy,

Sounds like you've had a busy day! Did you get a pedometer yet? I'm curious to see what it says. I *know* you gotta be doing a lot of walking each day just with your jobs.

I joined the Christmas challenge. I'm hoping to lose 2 lbs a week for my goal. I haven't weighed myself in 2 days... I'm almost afraid to!

I hope you had a great day and I'll stop back in again soon. :)

Anne
 
hee hee, thanks Anne, but I think you called me Stacey instead of starry... it's all good tho, hee hee. today was so horrible i'm not even going to mention it... instead i'm going to write about the fact that i have the day off school tomorrow so maybe it'll be a good day for the gym... no not maybe... it WILL be a good day for the gym... :hurray:
sorry i haven't been posting as often... i'm so jealous of you, stacey!!! :blush5: lol
i'll try and post more often it really does help me out... and no, sorry Anne, I haven't had the time (or the memory to remember) to get a pedometer. Will get one soon tho, promise!
 
just a quick note before i head off to work- finally got my own pilates dvd to do during the week, and! i also picked up a pedometer! will let you know tomorrow how much i've been walking all day. i also think i'm going to get what stacey calls her RHC (red headed cousin) :p soon cause i'm soo damn hungry and that always happens to me two or three days before...
k, i'm out!
 
Hey starry! Cool that you bought a pedometer! I hope that you benefit from having it! Have a great night :)

Jennifer

1 Vector Bar
2 Eggs
1 C. Grapes
1 glass of water
1 serving of carrots

I'm just about to fix myself up some dinner... if I haven't sent you a msg on your diary yet, I'll do it soon- promise!!!

hey everyone!

well... today did not start out as great as i would've liked... i woke up at 6:30 to get ready for school, rushed out the door for my 8:30 class, went to the library to read up on an assignment we were supposed to write about in class, showed up 10 mins late only to find out that the class was cancelled :beatdeadhorse5: stupid stupid stupid...

well, i also rushed out the door forgetting my pedometer, but it's on now, so i'll report in later with the count...

so far i've eaten...
2 eggs
1 C. Grapes
1 Vector Bar
1 Apple

I also walked around campus for about 15 mins, and walked to a farther busstop which took about 10 mintues

ok, i'm out- time for work in a bit, maybe i'll squeeze in a 15 min powernap lol
have a great day!
 
Hiya

Im just dropping by to say HI and well on on your 6lb so far!!!
Walking to the next bus stop is a great idea that little bit of exercise and you will hardly notice!!! I have starting parking at the far end of the car park at work not the 10 mins your doing but 1 step in the right direction

Take care
Sarah
 
Hi Starry.
All that walking will add up and you'll see the results. And get in that power nap! Those things are great. And any rest you get is just as important as exercise. Have a great day!

Jennifer
 
Heya Sarah! Thanks for dropping by! I've heard of using the parking lot walk- they used to suggest that for people at WW, but I don't have a car, lol...

Jennifer- I didn't get in that powernap afterall, but oh well- I tend to sleep too much anyways lol

work actually went by quite fast today, it was a bit busy and yes i finally got that dang pedometer on... i don't really know it's function... maybe just so i can see how many steps i take, and then i'll try and beat it the next day?

i'm munching on strawberries right now- absolutely delish! starbucks has brought out their christmas drinks and i may tempt myself and pick one up at some point- my mommy gave me a gift card when we were out one day- starbucks always helps me feel more in the christmas spirit. oh commercialism, what would our holidays be without you? lol

this is what i've eaten so far...
2 eggs
1 C. Grapes
1 Vector Bar
1 Apple
1 Lean Cuisine Chicken a L'orange
1 C. Strawberries
1 C. Water (i'm drinking some more as I write this)

Aside from the walking I did earlier, I worked from 11:30-2:30, only stopping to talk for about... 25 mins out of the shift.
I walked for about 15 minutes to the gym after work and worked out for about half an hour on the eliptical, exercise bike, and then did some weights. Tomorrow is my weigh-in, so I'm hoping I can be good today to make up for the bad beginning of the week... lol

i'll report in later before i hop into bed :biggrinjester:
 
Starry,

Unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me that I called you Stacey. :iamwithstupid: I'm kinda ditsy....lol... and I have zero concentration skills...;) Sorry about that.

Looks like you are doing good on your weight loss. Good for you!

I bought a pedometer, but I forget to wear it half the time too. Mine was not adding my steps properly while it was attached to my waistline, so I put it on my shoe. Then it fell off somewhere in my house and I couldnt' find it. I finally found it this morning. Lucky my dog didn't chew it up!

I just stopped in to say hello and to offer my support. ;)

I'll stop in again soon.

Anne
 
Okay... just a quick little check in before I have some brekkie...

thanks for dropping by ladies- it's a pleasure as always :grouphug:
Anne, you will be happy to know that I've used up all my credits at the gym, so it's time to renew- yay!

unfortunately, my "aunt flo" has decided to visit this week, of course, arriving the day of my weigh-in. so... luckily i weighed myself yesterday, and if today is considerably higher, i'll go with yesterdays weight, cause i wasnt' so bloated, lol.

yesterday along with the rest of the stuff i had, i ate...
1 ceasar salad
1 fat-free frozen real fruit bar
10 whole-wheat crackers

i finished the night off with a 10 min pilates workout. goodtimes.

i always have to snack while watching grey's anatomy... <3
anyways, time to make some brekkie
THE WEEKEND IS HERE! WOO-HOO! i'll be heading home on sunday to go visit family! yay
 
so... i am going with yesterdays weigh-in cause i had dinner right before pilates, which i where i think the extra lb came from... usually i go pretty chillaxed on the weekend, but i think this week i'm actually going to kick it up a notch and stay on track the whole week! that's my goal- here's hoping i follow through on it...

pilates was sooo good tonight that i can actually steal feel it in my abs.. which are in there somewhere- they'll shine someday!!

anyways... i'm off to read your diaries! :leaving:

That got a huge smile out of me! Sure, you'll see them someday :) You are doing great and it could be sooner than you think. ;)

As far as the pedometer goes, mine will tell me how many steps I walk, or how many miles. I set it for miles. I need to ask Margaret where she puts hers. I had been putting mine on my pant waistline, but it doesn't seem to catch all my steps. I know if I walk 2 miles at the gym, it should say 2 miles, but sometimes it doesn't. It could be a mile off. :confused:

I'll stop in again soon.

Have a great day!
Anne
 
hee hee, thanks Anne! Yours will shine too!! My friends and I are actually saving up for a cruise, and I want to be in a bikini dammit!! lol

so i had a horrible time sleeping last nite- rolled around in my bed from 11-1:30, finally woke up, went on the computer for a bit, and then tried going to sleep again- woke up again 7, went to the washroom, back to sleep, then woke up again at 9, then again at 10:15. ugh. i'm going to my parents' tonight so hopefully i'll get a better sleep there :blush5:

today all i've had so far is a Vector bar, i feel hungry, but i don't want to eat... stupid aunt flo... :toetap05:

ok, time to get ready for work- i get all day tomorrow and monday off, so i'm going to take it easy...
 
Starry,
I hope you had a great day today. ;)

Lack of sleep sure messes me up too. I had to take a nap today.

I don't feel hungry most of the time, either, but I force myself to eat. I've got to get my metabolism working right.

Well, I'll stop in again soon. ;)

Anne
