Sugar and Spice makes everything nice!

Tam,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONCERN. I say that truly with my deepest compassion and honesty. I feel loved. <3 hahaha. You're right. I feel good when I'm at around 1200 calories. Whenever I feel low on energy, I'm not afraid to go dip into more food. A banana and a tbsp of natural peanut butter usually hits the spot, and kills the headache.

I'm sorry if I ever did sound like a bitch...I want advice! Don't worry, I won't bite.

It's just I write as I write because I've done this so many times, with success, and sometimes without.

Thanks again girl! I'm happy you're back =)

I just saw 189.8lbs. Damn, these pounds are just melting off.

Your welcome! :) I don't think you sound like a bitch, lol. I'm glad I'm back too ;), omg, congrats on being under 190!
 
Good Morning Everyone!! :bigear:

I woke up this morning at 189.4lbs, and after a slice of cheese pizza and a day out, I'm at 189.0lbs.

I'm not too happy though. Although, while I was taking a shower, I was feeling my gut area, and man, it went in alot! =) I'm happy about that.

Diet...
730-20 grapes, iced coffee w/ no cream or sugar, 65 calories
11am-1 slice of cheese pizza- 350 calories
5pm- 6" subway ham on wheat w/ veggies n pepper jack cheese, baked lays- 490 calories
9pm- mannatech shake- 115 calories

Calories consumed: 1020 calories

Workout
15 minutes treadmill incline interval power walking 4.0mph
chest press 20 x10 x10 x10
lat pulldown 30 x20 50 x10 x10
row 50 x10 x10 x10
various arm exercises w/ 8 lb dumbbell

Measurements
Belly Button: 102cm
Chest: 112cm
Thigh: 64.5cm

So I ended up going to work and going to the gym. I probably spent like 40 minutes at the gym...was it worth it? yes, my muscles are sore! Was it a long note-worthy workout? Not really.

I need to take a day off from the gym to relax, and I'm happy I decide to take that day after I did some strength training. So no gym tomorrow!

May the moving start! I'm still on my effin' TOM so I'm going to go talk to the advice nurse tomorrow. It got heavier. :banghead:

I speculate tomorrow...

-frozen entree w/ 1 cup of veggies- 370 calories
-mannetech shake- 115 calories

Ugh. I hear you on the period. I'm just happy mine is now underway. Hope there isn't anything serious going on with yours? Maybe it's getting heavier because you're eating better? lol. Wouldnt that be a bitch.

Anyway, well done on your weight loss.
 
Yeah, The gym is addictive, but my knee kind of hurt yesterday and my body just felt burnt out. I think that called for a rest day. I want to get back to 60 minutes of cardio too, so after a rest day, my body should be up and pumping.

I'm still in bed and it's 1pm........gosh, i'm lazy! hehehe

So...I'm 188.8lbs; Weight loss is at a crawl again, that just means I have to eat more!

Today's food...
6" subway sandwich ham- 350 calories
mannatech shake- 115 calories
1 popsicle-15 calories
1.75cup salsa- 130 calories
2 handfuls of tortilla chips- 280 calories
chicken burrito w/o rice- 650 calories

I thought getting the burrito without rice would decrease the amount of calories and volume of it, but nope. Instead they filled it up with extra black beans, and my gosh, I want to puke. So I traded in carbs for protein/fiber, but still a calorie is a calorie.

Calories consumed....1535 calories

Todays exercise
90 minutes of shopping walking/standing

Morning Measurements
Waist: 94.5cm start 98cm
Chest: 110cm start 116.5cm

So since I ate that burrito, and didn't exercise today (except shopping and major housecleaning), I hope I only gained a pound or two. =)

Thoughts about Thoughts:
While driving to go purchase the burrito, I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. As in, saying outloud "omg, i'm binge eating again, what is wrong with me!" None of thoughts occurred. The only thoughts occurred as..."Alright, I'm going to order the chicken burrito without rice to save some carbs, and then I'm going to get 2 handfuls of tortilla chips and the salsa...I hope I'm still under 1200 calories!" Next time, split the burrito half because I am way too full and I stuffed myself.

No longer was I beating myself over before doing the deed, I was thinking of ways to make alterations fit into my life. The burrito will not own me, I will own the burrito!

I think you DESERVE a day off!!! Your workout routine is crazy...in a good way and your food intake looks good too.

Taking a day off every now and then is good for you too!
 
Thanks AmberSD!!

Nope, Didn't go to the gym today....not a problem, I'm happy I didn't because that damn burrito is keeping me full. That green teabag isn't making me pee that much.

I'm going to hit the gym tomorrow, even though I have a really eventful day tomorrow! I'm really excited because I LOVE 24hourfitness, more than my school's state-of-the-art gym.

1145am: meet carpet cleaning guy

AMEN to that!!!!!!!!! :D Making your new eating habits fit in to your life is one thing that makes it easier to achieve your goals.
 
Today,

I'm so tired! so so tired! After moving, cleaning, and going to work, I am so freaking tired!!!! I will probably try going to the gym tonight around 10 or 11pm.


My feet hurt.

For breakfast I ate lfcc and blueberries, but then had a sushi buffet.

I probably had like 12 pieces of sashimi, 12 pieces of roll, and 2 cream cheese wontons, edamame, orange slice.

I am ready to weigh myself on Monday morning. As long as I go to the gym tonight, and tomorrow, and of course Sunday. I'm done with diverging from my diet!

I'm busy all day tomorrow as well. I have a Physician Assistant interview luncheon tomorrow, then a gym session, then getting ready to go out tomorrow. I definitely don't want to drink too much so I'm going to try to just drink a sugar free red bull.

Today's Exercise...
40 minutes of Elliptical climber interval training 7080 strides
tricep push down 30 x10 x10 x10 x10
lat pull down 50 x10 x10 x10
bicep curls 30 x10 x10 x10

This next week, I will be successful! I'm happy that this past week, I weighed in at 188.8lbs, this coming week, I hope I see 185.8lbs! It might take a bit because I cheated twice, back to back, this week. I don't think I'm going to cheat next week because it's way too risky. I'd like to see a solid weight loss.

No purchased burrito, no purchased sushi, no purchased anything. The only purchased good is chicken breast or sirloin or salmon! I don't think I pooed out sushi OR burrito yet. I'm really anticipating something solid.

My stomach has gone in alot; I've lost my one whole torso roll, and have one like on my rib cage and one on my belly button. I'm happy! I can't wait until I see a rib or two.

So I've moved into an apartment that guys live in and well, they weren't ready to move out but I had to move my stuff in and let's just say the place was A MESS. I didn't know that the cleanliness fell out of the door with these guys! Well, these guys are the sublease of summer session 1. I really hope Jas cleans up the place on Sunday because I'm definitely not going to be happy to a dirty apartment!

I'm wondering if two gym sessions/day can help. I might try that a few days next week. I know I have to eat alot, but I want some muscles AND cardio.

Plans for weekend:
Saturday
walk with the dog-morning
interview panel for physician assistant program
24hour fitness
costco
meet with the ex to talk
get ready to go out
go out which I'm not looking for

Sunday
work MUST do a good job at work!!
go to Davis to clean up
hang out
gym

I'm going dancing tonight, although I don't want to go out. I don't even know what I'm wearing! bah.
 
Wow, so it all started with...the lunch at the Physician Assistant Panel.

Then the post-lunch at Sizzlers.

Then the 2 shots of hennessy and corona at the bar. DAMN I LOVE IT!

Then my boyfriend came up and we went to the Cheesecake factory.

Then today I ate the leftovers of BOTH our dishes + salad
Then two rolls with roast beef and provolone cheese w/ condiments
Then two corn dogs...
Then 1 microwaveable pizza...
Then 1 chicken and rice burrito...
1 krunch ice cream bar...

HUGE binge.
 
So I'm not gone....

I had to come back. Even after a long 5-day binge. I mean binge by every single letter of that word.

How did it start? I went grocery shopping and bought all this junk, thinking it would last me for 2 weeks. How little I know about myself---Most of the junk is gone in TWO days!

How did I feel while on the let loose? I felt careless, lazy, indifferent about life. I didn't care what I was doing to my body, although I knew, I KNEW that I was just damaging my body.

Why did it start? Well, I thought I could control it with one fight, but the fights kept coming. one after another.

What got me back on the horse? Actually...I read tamara's diary and ymcachick's. If those women can do it, so can I. I was quite embarrassed for letting myself go while others are holding on.

Alright, I fucked up. So I'm ready to get down with the get down! :smilielol5:

I already bagged my grapes, got pears, peaches, carrots, orange melon.

My immediate goal is to get down 190 by Friday, whatever my weigh-in is tomorrow. So I'm roughly 2 weeks behind schedule, but that's okay. I'm happy I'm back on the horse. :auto:

Tomorrow, I will go to the gym and go swimming. I have a swimming pool like 40 meters away, and I live on the edge of campus now with the gym.

SCHEDULE
9am-Wake up; paperwork (call autoshop and SFSTATE); breakfast
10am- swimming
1130am-130pm- reading ecn 130; lunch
130pm-2pm- used bookstore!
2pm-6pm- classes
6pm-7pm- dinner
7-9pm- gym
9pm-11pm- homework ecn 135

My relationship with my boyfriend, the guy I complained about in earlier pages, has been going great so far. It is amazing. I am smiling again and falling in love with him. After 2 years of so much drama and insecurities and lies, we're finally doing well again. It feels good. He wants to take me out on dates (cheesecake factory), but I know I need to let him in and tone it down.

He's like 125 pounds, he used to be 140, but lost 15 pounds randomly! It is so embarrassing that he weighs so little!! I wouldn't mind being 20 pounds heavier, but now, being like 70 pounds heavier...my gosh! It's sickening! :ack2: So now I have another incentive, or pressure, to lose weight! I want to look good next to him!

It'll be a great day tomorrow!

Well I'm definitely glad your back, believe it or not, I need you. I had a "let's go out to Chilis" day, luckily all I ate yesterday was that 3 course meal at Chilis. Sometimes it's hard. None of us are perfect, sometimes we fall off for a day...a week... or even months, but what's important is to get right back on as soon as you can, which you've done, and I'm so glad you have. You will get there, just keep at it! Oh, and it's good to see you bringing up your calories.
 
I'M JEALOUS YOU LOST WEIGHT AFTER EATING SO MANY POINTS!!

So today...I woke up hella late. I weighed in at 196.8lbs YIKESSSS!!

1 cup of total cereal, 1 cup of rice dream- 320 calories
1 pear 90 calories
1 cup of blueberries 80 calories
1 peach 60 calories
------
Then weighed in at 195.4lbs before the following..

4 corn tortilla 180 calories
1.5 cup of chili 310 calories (homemade, tomato sauce, ground turkey, kidney beans)
3 slices provolone cheese 175 calories
1 slice of roast beef 40 calories

Total is 1255 calories

Exercise
35 minutes on elliptical climber interval training

Note: I moved so close to campus that I bike onto campus 100%, no questions asked. But now, the sunlight has made it difficult for me to bike! I just don't like the idea of using a bike light. Now, sunsets at like 8:15pm...so I have to alter my dinner time or do SOMETHING so I can make it in time for the gym, at least 90 minutes, and get home by 8:15-8:30pm.

Your doing great! :D

Not sure if you have a problem with this, but I personally get emotionally attached to the number on the scale, what I find that works to sort of counter that is weigh in only once a day, when you wake up, before you eat anything, and after you use the restroom.

Just a suggestion, to help ya out.

Keep up the great work!!

HAHAHA! that's what I do everyday! =) I just wanted to make sure that even though I ate like a 500 calorie breakfast, 6 hours later, I would weigh less than I did in the morning. =)

Once a day sounds good!!
