Stopinthe excuses & starting a diary

Thanks.. It is tough today after the big calorie breakfast..makes me wish i just had my oatmeal or a muffin .. :-D oh well.. I guess i need to figure this out and how to make it work even when I slip up.
how r you doin?
 
You'll figure it out :) sometimes it just takes some time to get it just right.
And they do recomend that your breakfast be the biggest meal of the day, lol
just eat more veggies and protein and less "bread" type stuff for supper to balance it out?and you didn't slip up you just had a big breakfast thats all, you did do your exercise, you can certainly feel good abut that :D
as far as i go i think i'm doing good.i weigh in on monday so will see but i do feel a difference :)
 
I am actually down 5 lbs as of this morning's weigh in! I cant believe it! Its been about 2 weeks since ive weighed myself..i felt good but i was worried. I feel like maybe this time.. who knows..maybe ..no not maybe..Yes..this time its going to happen.
This morning I have had 2 cups of java w/ nonfat creamer, 1 whole wheat english w/ a tsp of peanut butter, at snack i had a cup of all bran cereal w/ 1/2 cup of milk & 2 strawberries..
I have been up preparing my garden this morning..raking and cleaning up the yard. I havent done official exercise yet but last nite i danced hard for about an hr and a half at least...so i dont feel so bad. I am going to do some time on my weight machine later. I hope everyone has a great day!
Good luck on monday smiley!

Thank's for the post i'm not feeling 100% yet and energy is low but if i don't exercise i'm gonna fall back into not doing anything and feeling sorry for my self/not the way i want to go, so i told myself that even if i'm diying i'm gonna make an attempt lol. My rmr/bmr i lov, i knew about it before but never had an exact mesurement so now i know what to go for, alot less wondering that way.
Hope your having a good day :D
 
the rmr and bmr definetely takes the guess work out and its nice to see something that really is about MY body and not some persons on a chart that looks nothing like me. Im sorry your not doing 100% yet..but its good that you keep pushin..just dont push too much..sometimes our bodies need a break! Thanks L!

Thank you Stop. I guess I'm mainly trying to get more food choices I figured that right now i'm at about 1400 calories(I hope thats safe) I'm not to savvy on calorie counting. But i'm basically eating the same foods all the time and I'm scared to eat anything else for fear I may be messing up...

I was going to try the points thing to have like a guide to what I can and can't eat and how much of it I can eat. But I don't know

CONGRATS 2 U!!!! I can't wait until my spare tire is completely gone I know its going too Feels good :)
 
Good for you F... sounds like your on the right track..but 1400 cal seems low..unless your not very heavy..My minimum intake needs to be 2000 cal / day..sounds like a lot but its not.


Breakfast: package of high fiber oatmeal
coffee w/ milk

snack: 4 oz yogurt w/ all bran cereal

Lunch: KFC roasted chic wrap w/ water
1 pkg of 100 cal cookies

Snack: low fat cheesits (35) 2/ 1 cheese stick

Dinner: 2 burger patties cooked w/ grated parm and fresh basil, asparagus on the side & 1 sweet potato w/ a pat of butter

Sorry you feel bad today. Maybe you can make up for it by going out again tonight? hope your having a good day otherwise :)
 
boy..I dropped the ball on my diary ... My computer decided to have issues..so i havent logged anything since my last one on friday. I did very well on Friday and found out on saturday morning im down another lb..but only one..Im hoping its because Im gaining muscle & all... Im as of friday, starting to do weights everyday. I spoke w/ a friend of mine who is a doctor & chiropractor and he just dropped like 70 lbs..he recommends working on muscle tone as well as cardio...soooo thats what im doing. along w/ my 40 minute walk..im doing 15 to 20 min of weights... im doing 6 reps of each and there is probably 9 different weight excersizes i do..and then i do about 100 crunches. Im hoping to see a real difference. Im also dancing again which I love..we salsa, line dance, swing..you name it..for probably on and off for a 2 or more hr period...i sweat my butt off..im hoping at least :-D
Ill log my diary again tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great weekend..it was gorgeous here!
