Stopinthe excuses & starting a diary

Thanks scrappy..i dont know if id call it good..but its definetely better..I felt gross that i hadnt exersized so i left the fam and went out on my own in the rain and hooffed it. I feel a difference in my attitude..but people like you help soo much. Im baking cakes right now! ugggh .. we are having 11 family members here today and having my little ones 1st b-day..so he gets a small cake all to himself and then we have the family cake. I am however, taking the leftovers w/ me to work tomorrow..it will need to leave the house! Thats the only way i can do it too! Thanks for your support..all of you!

thanx for encouraging me in my diary :) i agree with you, this site is fantastic! the healthy, friendly environment is so different from the anorexic, self abusive vibe i get at other websites. keep up the good work and hopefully u guys had a fabulous bday for ur boy!
 
Any changes you make is good. like you said the old you would of had way more food and no exercise, so your still on track and thats great :) and bringing the leftovers to work is a good idea too. Women tend to spend to much time being hard on them selves and thats just time and energy waisted.
tomorow is another day as they say!
Congrat's on the new web site i'll have to go check it out!
and thank's for the support :)
 
Thanks Smiley.. I actually did the website..and believe me its in the new stages right now..because its seems like we can all learn from each other for so many areas in our lives..or at least share w/ people who can understand. I dont think I could be who i am today w/ out people like that in my life. As for the food..well today was a better day.
Breakfast: 1 pkg of high fiber oatmeal w/ blueberries
coffee large 1/4 cup skim milk w/ 2 splendas

snack: 1 slice of RB and 1 slice of provolone

lunch: small low carb (7 grams of fiber) wrap w/ tuna salad (lofat mayo) lettuce, tomato & pickles. 1 regular raspberry yogurt.

snack: 1 slice of high fiber bread w/ tsp of peanut butter

Dinner: boneless chicken w/ veggies, low sodium chic broth, garlic, on wheat pasta. 1 slice of rosemary olive oil bread. 1/2 glass of milk

so far 64 oz of water...
only 1/2 hr of exercize today..gonna try to get more in before i go to pottery at 7pm. gotta digest a bit first. :-D thanks for listening guys!

Amlika ... I think its great your putting your needs first! I think that is so hard to realize when it comes to weight loss. i have always thought...oh jeez i deserve that slice of cake..ive been sooo good. You know what..I deserve to feel good about myself and screw the cake!
 
I just had to share.. I went to pottery last nite and came home and as usual i had that fake "i need a snack feeling" ..I went to the fridge and we had this gorgeous 1/2 a choc peanut butter homemade easter egg left in the fridge..I picked it up..unwrapped it..smelled it..thought...ahhh ...and chucked it in the garbage! i sat down and drank my water & watched the rest of my comedy...I still cant believe i did it!
Im so proud of myself. Ive decided that maybe once every 2 weeks if i want something decadent ill give myself one thing...not 2 or 3..but only every 2 weeks. Im now on almost a month of straight exercise and they say that it takes 21 days to build a routine ...so im doin ok!
I so far have walked 45 minutes...did major hills ..whew.
Ive had my coffee w/ a shot of espresso.. skim milk and splenda... 2 eggs scrambled w/ mushrooms, 2 slices of lean turkey breast (shaved) and 1 slice of american cheese.
I did my abs for 10 minutes and stretched when i got home.
 
Believe me rose..i had all i could do to not have the devil on my shoulder to say..."what r you doin...thats a good piece of chocolate!" But im finding that the things I feel like i used to deserve... werent all that important and end up messing w/ what i really want and deserve
 
I just found out what my RMR is...and im kinda surprised that its that high...so now im going to check my calories as I have to be at that point or slightly higher ... or i wont lose or have the fuel to get through a day. Im thinkin eating enough isnt going to be a problem..but i think it may have been in the past w/ some of these fad diets
My RMR is 1920 cal / day...and speaking of cal...time for lunch ;-D
 
Keep that strength and you will conquer :) Have faith in yourself and others will too!! Keep up the good work and Good Luck on your weight loss. :D
 
It was strong of you to throw away the chocolate/peanut butter egg.
I used to feel guilty about throwing food away but then Jennifer wrote this in my Diary....

"The other week I made macaroni and cheese, the same amount I used to make (just outa habit). It usually would have been gone by the following day. However, I had to throw half of it away. At first I thought OMG , what a waste,..and then I thought...OMG that could have attached its ugly self to my hips....no problem throwing it away!!!!!!!"

You're doing great! Keep it up!
 
Absolutely...thanks you guys.. You make me feel so good!
Its kind of funny ..I have been tracking my calories to day to see where I am at w/ my RMR...and im suppossed to be at 1930 cal at least. I have only had 1500 today..so now im off to have something naughty... but not too naughty. I have eaten alot today! I have had lots of fiber and calcium and fiber and fiber..did i mention fiber? My goodness! Im shocked honestly ..maybe im off a bit..but not by 400 cal...so ill tweek things tomorrow and step up my caloric intake a bit...just to make it work better.
thanks again everyone

after lunch I had..
a Mc Donalds yogurt parfait w/ no granola..had a handfull of allbran instead.

Dinner: a baked potato w/ sauteed asparagus, broccoli, onions, garlic...w/ 2 oz lowfat cheddar cheese, fat free sour cream (just a dolup) and maybe a pat of butter... but i had soo many veggies..I had a glass of red wine, and after dinner i had about 30 small choc baking pieces, bittersweet choc. After i had a cup of coffee...w/ no sugar an lowcarb nonfat creamer

Now im off to have some chips & cream cheese..my favorite..that will help the calories a little and its not totally empty cuz it will have some protein w/ it.
thanks again!
 
wednesday

so far so good.. finding i need to eat a bit more calories thru the day..but not empty calories...whoohoo..never thought id say that.
Breakfast 1/2 bran muffin w/ small yogurt w/ 1/4 cup bran cereal

snack: 2oz roasted chic and broccoli & asparagus (1/2 cup) 1oz of lite cheddar cheese

So far im at 397 calories..1533 to go.. :-D

walked 45 minutes and did my hills, did 40 crunches, 25 obliques each side and stretched for 10 minutes. I feel great!
 
Thanks! I went to the dreaded Mcdonalds today..and I was alittle worried as its always a bad..no no kind of place..but I had a Chicken Mcgrill w/ no mayo, used mustard, had a small fry & a yogurt parfait w/ out the granola & a water and it was 540 calories...totally w/in my budget and i felt good and not weighed down when i left. I am really just feeling different about eating in general.
I love to try and wing it w/ veggies and dinner ideas..some of my wing its work ..some dont. I use those rotissere chickens all the time..I take all the skin off and use the chicken in salads and pasta and all kinds of stuff.
Thanks for everyones positive reinforcement.
 
better day:wednesday

Well..I ate a bit more and felt more relaxed about it as I realize my calorie intake wasnt too bad.
i had about 1977 calories which is about 50 calories over my Resting metabolic rate...so i think im good today. I had a big dinner really and i feel full & satisfied. I had 2 eggs on a whole wheat english, 1 oz of lite cheddar, 1 slice of bacon and 1 slice of proscuito, 1/2 cup of milk. After dinner I had a small yogurt (4oz) and one of those new 100 cal nabisco cookie bites.. I felt like i was having a yummy desert. I have had my usual 96 oz of water today... and even though I have my period im feeling really good. I know the exercise helps a lot.
So..if im understanding my RMR I need to be about here if im going to exercise also...does anyone know if im right?
