Sunshine's Diary - lets give it a shot

Great job on walking. And garlic bread?? You are speaking my language with that one....MMmmmmmmm:)

I used to go to some teacher seminars and I remember them either being Wonderful or complete torture. Where's the middle ground where they are bearable and informative? At least having a few like that would decrease your chances of being in one where you visualize the instructors head falling off so you can go home early!
 
lol, tiffany, it's true, there really is no middle ground with these workshops, it's either awsome or miserable... ;)

Home-made tacos for lunch. The fiance brought the scale with him :S...not weighing in until morning time since I just ate lunch, but fingers crossed ladies for at least 2 pounds...or I will be seriously unmotivated, this has been a super healthy/exercise week for me. lol

The boys are watching basketball :rolleyes: And I am officially sunburnt...which is nice to say...lol.

~Nic~
 
I guess you had plenty of time away from the roommate.
*passes over aloe lotion through the internet*
I am going biking tomorrow. The weather here is lovely too.
 
Have fun biking Ashy! I want to buy a bike this year or next (no money - so we'll see)

I officially weighed in this morning...drumroll please....

170 - lol - I'M THE SAME! I've been eating healthier and going on ridiculous walks and haven't dropped a pound :S...a bit frustrated BUT i did have a big dinner last night at formal (no choices, they brought it out) it was like chicken, steak (yes, both), veggies, potatos, cheese cake, salad, gravy on the potatos etc.

Sooooo...being in good spirits (b/c of the weather) I am not going to get angry :mad: or sad :( , I will assume it is becuase of formal and I will shed the pounds easily this week

Formal:

Okay so the boys brought flasks because rumour was drinks were $6/drink, and I approved cause I am broke. HOWEVER my roomie has TERRIBLE luck ...and GOT KICKED OUT ebfore we even got in. Her and her bf got the boot at the door. It was really frustrating because the lady security had like NO sympathy whatsover, I mean this was her GRADUATION, and it's not like it's highschool, we're 24-25 here! Take the flask and let her have fun, but nope, they wouldn't let her back in...
So I still had a pretty good night but called it in around 11:30pm, cause I don't know the people in the group that well (as roomie and I are never around on weekends) so...But I did have a decent time

~nik~
 
I think I've had my 8 glasses of water already today! wheww! It's sooo lovely outside, I'm just lounging around in the sun...very nice :). Planning on some tennis later today (when it's not so hot)

~Nic~
 
Haha, it turnedout to be kind of a bad food day...with lots of lazing around> Tennis has yet to happen, although it is still possible

Food:
Water : LOTS!
Beer: 4 :)S)
Club sandwhich (with chicken) on a kaizer bun
Salad (italian dressing)
Mini pizza (2) - Hawaiin - (this is my boo boo of the day)
Ohh, and a Frosty from Wendy's

Exercise: NONE unless you count walking to the car or lounging in the sun, but it's still POSSIBLE that I will play tennis...though not incredibly likely. Really tired today, I think the early morning time in the sun killed me.

~nic~


EDIT: (just adding more for today without adding a new post:

Seem to have a lot of posting cravings today...probably because I feel guilty about the food and laziness. Just lounging still, lol, no tennis for this gal. I'm exhausted. Hoping the rain tomorrow holds off until I'm done classes so I can hop to the walking again...*fingers crossed*

Downloaded a new song, really like it :Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap...very mello, and intense.

"spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy"

Don't feel too bad about your day. Tomorrow you will get back in the saddle again. Wooha!
You did well on your water :D
And I'm gonna start playing tennis again soon :D its one sport I enjoy playing if I can actually keep a game going lol.
 
ARGH! Still the big 170lbs. ... need to drop a few pounds SOON if not solely for motivation! lol
Today I will drink TONS of water and not eat junky foods

~Nicole~
 
Pizza gets me every time. I have a bout decided it is sent from Hell to destroy me. lol Hope you see 169 ASAP!
 
Hello again

Ashy: It was Labbatt Blue - not my favorite beer but the fiance left it here and well...it had to be finished, there is actually one more left that I am saving for after a hard game of tennis today...

Thanks Tiffany for the encouragement! And YUM I loooove pizza as well...especially the mini ones you cook in the oven, I don't know why but I find them delicious.

Anyway onto today
Class: 10-12 (okay supposed to be 10-3:30 but it's really dull so roomie and I bailed to go play tennis...a much more active way of spending the afternoon)

1 boiled egg (79?)
Spinach (hahaha...oh dear) (21cal)
Glass of Milk (99 cal)
500 mil of water (0)
Subtot: 199 Cal

Dinner: Haven't eaten it YET, but I'm cooking some fish and plannign on buying some sort of vegitable to go with it.

Okay, time to go play some tennis!! (it's a 15 minute walk away too so it will be a nice little work out)

Ciao!
 
WHEW!!

we were gone for an hour and 45 minutes!! spent about 30 minutes walking (there and back) and the rest of the time playing tennis + a 10 minute break...while we're not tennis pros so we spent a lot of time running after the ball, it was still quite a work out in the heat!
Now it's cooling off and getting windy (looking forward to the storm they are predicting)

Feeling pretty good, drinking a ridiculous amount of water and planning on hitting Sobey's to buy some fresh veggies later...

Just started raining :)

Ciao
 
uh oh - ate a TV Dinner :S
640 calories (baked turkey, green beans, potatos, brownie)

I DID learn something though: Around 4pm-5pm I get super hungry super quickly and thats when I tend to begin the downwards spiral of eating for the day...Sooooo...I should have some ready made (yummy) food to eat. I did cook fish this morning that I planned for dinner, but 4pm rolled around and fish didn't sound so great...So tomorrow I plan to NOT eat junk in the afternoon, I will fight through it. lol

Bought lots of fresh fruits and veggies though too, the tv dinner was the only bad buy ;)

~Nic~

Total: 1275 calories

Does anyone use the Dietpower program?? I really like it as a quick way to record calories and keep track of exercise, I also like getting a letter grade for the quality of my food (not just the quantity) :)

EDIT ADD IN:

Another 20 minute walk tonight :) Very impressed with myself - so I made some garlic tortilla ;) lol

Okay, today I am having pizza for dinner (it's free at my first aid course) Soooo...I had 2 eggs and a piece of whole wheat bread for breakfast, and then it's all fruits and veggies until the pizza!! AND since I'll be at school, I HAVE to stick to it...becuase I only have what i bring.

Weighed in - still at 170 ARGH! Although it did look a bit in between...so hopefully tomorrow...but it's definitely frustrating.

Okay, need a shower, then a walk then school

Ciao

~nic~
 
60 minutes walking
30 minutes of tennis - if you can call it that. My roomie can be irritating with her 'reasons' for everything. She tried playing with her left hand because she has tendinitis (she doesn't, I HAVE tendenitis from a factory job...she's just dumb) And she didn't understand why I'd rather just head home than play with someone who is hitting with their left hand - BECAUSE I HIT THE BALL and she just chases it. She also wouldn't move to hit the ball...so if I didn't hit RIGHT TO HER she'd just stare at it...grrr.

Anyway, I tried, lol.

I have like 6 hours of class tonight because I signed up for a first aid course...going to be a looooong afternoon. Glad I skipped out on the morning ;)

Okay, going to go eat some fresh veggies ;) YUM and maybe a green tea

~Nic~
 
lol, i just thought of something very mean.... Next time just ask her to stand still and bounce the ball off her head. It'll take the focus off of her hand and you'll get a fairly good game going with yourself.
:p
Nah, just sounds like you need better competition! I have the same problem too when I play tennis or when I used to play tennis I should say. Maybe you should find a place with a serve machine. :D
 
lol, if my aim was better, I might try the bouncing off the head idea ;). She can be quite annoying sometimes - i think a lot of it is just that end of the year, I've spent a lot of time with her stuff. Two more days ;)

had my pizza - two slices of Canadian and a vegitarian slice. YUM. Definitely full for the night, I also had some green beans, tomato slices, strawberries and cucumber slices - more out of boredom than hunger but fruits and veggies are good boredom snacks ;)

Tomorrow I have to suffer through "well being" seminars, one of them is 25 minutes about sunscreen...what the heck? WEAR IT! That's all they need to say...lol

Keeping fingers crossed for that 169 weight...

~Nicole~

EDIT: ADD IN

Had a SMALL handful of party mix and then gave it away so I couldn't eat it anymore (I've had the big bag in the cupboard all week) lol. No more temptation. Am now drinking alcohol in flavoured water....(vodka water) lol...low cal alcoholic beverage, YUM

~nic~

PS: I'm taking a first aid course and they've changed SOOO Much it's really easy now! WOOHOO

Wow! You are walking like a crazy woman. Way to go!

I do the same thing in the afternoon as you do. I get really hungry all of a sudden and HAVE to eat something. Like you, that is usually when my eating goes downhill for the day. I am getting better about making healthier choices available for myself so I won't ruin the whole day by eating something I will regret later. Maybe we ought to check in on each others afternoon bingeing. You can hold me accountable and vice versa.

Hope you have a super day tomorrow. I gotta go get my rear on the elliptical.
 
Theory on my lack of loss:

Okay, I rarely lose weight the week before my period...which would be this week. BUT I also skipped my period last month (ON PURPOSE, I'm NOT pregnant, lol) so it could also have something to do with that? Because I've never done that before I just wanted to see how it worked (sort of planning in case it's that time during my wedding/honeymoon). So I'm thinking that could be playing a roll in my not losing a pound. I will find out soon enough.

Tiffany: Great idea! Lets keep tabs on eachother!! I am planning on having an "early dinner" (3pm) of fish and green beans because then I have to head to first aid and then a class party, and then I'm goint out for a beer. So Fish and green beans will be my "4" pm hunger.

I am also planning to make a super healthy choice when I got out for beer and order something healthy off the menu...but that might nto work out...

ALSO planning on going out for wing night tomorrow night: I know it sounds like a lot of "crashing" from the plan, but it's sort of a big "celebration" week of being done school forever...And while I may regret it, I feel that I owe it to myself to go out and not stress about calories for a night or two.

Okay...lol. Now I need to figure out how I will go walkign today...as it is raining. I might just brave through it and get wet. Today is day 8 of 21 to establish a good habit :D

Foods:
Milk - 6 ounces
Whole Wheat Toast with PB and banana
Water - 8 ounces

EDIT: ADD IN

Foods:
Green beans (a baggie full)
Fish (baked Haddock) (1 filet)

30 minute BRISK walk - on my own, so I could walk at a faster pace...and it was raining, lol.

Off to first aid! Bringing strawberries and tomatos for snacking ...maybe some more green beans
~nic~
