You whipped my butt today.
0 miles walked.
like minus 5 here now. I need a break anyway.
Nice job on getting it done in extreme conditions, you're tougher than me.

Day # 172 - One Stinkin' Pound!
Trucker, I'm not really tougher...this is the first week I've walked since before my Holiday food-fest. I needed to force myself back on track. All for nothing as.....I got on the scale this morning after a week of 900-1000 calorie days and near 4-mile walks (IN THE SNOW) to find I've lost ONE STINKIN' POUND. I'm trying not to get too frustrated, but I SO am! Last week I lost nothing and this week, ONE STINKIN' POUND. I am not a happy camper. I can't possibly cut out anymore calories. I just don't know what else to do. Ugh. I'm so frustrated. Any suggestions?
I really don't have anything else to say on the subject of weight loss today. I am so aggravated. Maybe I should just stop weighing myself all together and just go on how my clothes feel. It's not worth the anger, I'll tell you that. I now officially hate my scale, which, by the way gave me 7 different readings. And, I of course decided to go with the lowest one!
I can't eat anymore stinkin' sugar-free Jello than I already am...
(SIGH) Hope you have a good weekend. I don't even want to think about food or calories or counting them or anything for the rest of the day.

A couple things come to mind.
You're probably too low on calories and double-whammying since it's dead winter. You're definitely low enough to be forcing storage mood and in winter the body tries even hard to store fat.
Less hours of daylight = more sitting time. We're apt to get more TV, pc time and less social movement and activity that even comes down to little things like cleaning the house, or washing the car or dog walks and shopping. Being a city girl, you have access to unlimited opportunities to do from say 6 to 9pm that you're no longer doing. The almighty 'after dinner walk' is temporarily on hold for another month or three. I personally got my best results in warm weather after one or two hours after supper.
You might want to consider an after dinner exercise indoor complete with a sweatsuit or extra layer and break a sweat a few nights a week - providing you up your calories.
I like to experiment even still. I like to see what needs changed in my diet so my body and tastebuds don't become bored. I seem to have better results when I keep it mixed up.
I think I've learned to keep it in my mind that winter isn't the best time to lose weight per se, but a good time to keep tuned into discipline and consistency - at least the best we can. I know I've wanted comfort foods more in the last month than I did the 9 previous months. I think if we accept we can lose or even gain 5 pounds from Thanksgiving till Easter, we should call it a good winter run.
Outside of a good cardio workout almost daily - which you're cals are too low for, I think you should be gentle with yourself in the frustration dept. and look for possible leaks in your routine.
As for the scale, it's probably best you weigh yourself first thing in the morning and be done with it. Remember if you stop for a large 20oz Sheetz coffee on the way to work, you took in a pound of fluid and it's not going anywhere anytime soon so stop the madness

Days # 173-175
Trucker, I normally weigh in first thing on Friday ... jump out of bed, hit the ladies room, get naked and jump on the scale even before walking the dogs. No coffee or beverage beforehand. I'm thinking of skipping the scale for a month or so! Maybe that'll teach it to cooperate!
The weekend was what it was.... I went out to dinner on Saturday and ate well. I had a taco salad and for dessert, yes I had dessert, apple crisp. Yesterday Mom made stew and I had that and Italian bread. That's the weekend for you...full of comfort foods. I'm not going to feel guilty. But, then that does kind of justify my 1-pound-only loss. I guess I can't get too bent out of shape if I do this to myself every weekend. I did however go sledding with my nieces on Sat. I carted one up the hill in the sled and she's about 55 pounds. That's a bit of a workout.
Today I tried to get right back on track. I got up at 5:45 a.m. to walk. The man on the TV said it was 11 degrees, but with the windchill factor it felt like it was only - 2 out there. Yeah, that's right NEGATIVE TWO. I passed on walking. Hey, I'll walk in rain, I'll even walk in snow...but I will not walk in subzero temps. That's just far too much to ask. If it hits even 10 degrees (with windchill) I'll venture out. But, I kinda like my face. I didn't want it to freeze completely off.
I had a fruit smoothie for breakfast, a WW Smart One for lunch along with a few pretzels and sugar-free jello. So, it's been an ok food day. It is my goal to walk when I get home tonight. Right now it's 19 degrees out. So, that's a doable temp. However, if it falls too far below that I'm going to have to find some other sort of exercise to rely on. Not sure what I'll do for dinner. I was thinking of trying a week of two-smoothies-a-day and just once sensible lunch meal to see if that makes a difference come Friday's weigh in. It sounds good in theory, but when I get home, I'm hungry for real FOOD I can use a utensil with, not just a straw. It is my aim to smoothie it up tonight...but, being that it's so so cold, I might choose to do chicken noodle soup instead. We'll see.
Hope you're having a warmer day than I.

Unless you know or feel you're eating wrong, I don't see the value in constant weighing.
Good for you on a weekend you enjoyed.

Day # 176
I thought about not posting today. But, I'm an adult (well, I try to be) and I can admit when I've made a mistake. And, last night, I made HUGE food mistakes. I have no one to blame but myself. I was driving home and decided to stop at the grocery store. Now, you definitely should NOT do this when you are hungry. I was having a bad day and I was, for the first time in a long time, actually STARVING. I just kept thinking of food all day and was so hungry by 5 p.m. I should've went home, exercised and had something sensible. But, no, I stopped and loaded up on really REALLY bad foods. I won't go into the details, but trust me, it was bad. I'm not going to take all the blame myself...nono, I'm blaming one thing. Period. Yup, it's nearing that time this week and I had an unstoppable food urge yesterday. I am pulling the female card and blaming my severe and deadly cravings on the period. Some might say it is a weak excuse. And, most months I can ignore it, but yesterday it's like a food-starved monster took over my body. The most terrible part is I consciously made the choices. I am the one that whipped out the debit card and PAID for it! Geesh, it's shameful. But, I'm not going to let it deter me. In the past I would use that one night's screw up as an excuse to go on an all-week food binging expedition. But, not this time. I'm right back on track today. I couldn't walk because of the arctic blast and severe snow this morning, but I can eat much better. I had a smoothie for breakfast, brought a lean crapzene and sugar-free jello for lunch and will have another smoothie for dinner.
I have class tonight, so that should keep me on track. I can't shove food in my mouth if I'm in class, right? Right. That is definitely a good thing. Classes keep me on a strict schedule. And, I'm not stuck at home inside all night (like last night) with nothing to do. I'm thinking of investing in a treadmill. I really hate those machines. I'd much rather walk outside, but the weather being what it is, I can't always do that. And, a treadmill definitely leaves me little excuse to not exercise. We'll see. I'll scout out some prices online and see what I can find.
Here in the office we always have snacks. There is a huge bin of pretzels. And, I've decided not to have anymore ever again. I usually grab a small handful to have with my lunch. But, I think those handfuls have been getting bigger and bigger and it must stop. So, as of today no more pretzels for me. I'm not that huge a fan of them anyway. I just used them as an excuse to dip into some mustard. Mustard has no calories, but pretzels do. I was having way too many of them to satisfy my new mustard addiction.
So that's my tale of today. My name is Nicole and I'm a food addict, seriously. Last night my addiction got the better of me. It's funny how in the dark of evening you can convince yourself that eating all of that is ok. But, in the light of day you think to yourself, "What was I thinking????" That was me this morning. So, I'm jumping right back on the weight-watching wagon. Hoping for the best. Our trip to Disney is now in just 60 short days. And, I am committed to fitting into the new bathing suit I bought at Christmas. I have just enough time to make it happen I think. Wish me luck! Keep good thoughts that the snow and ultra-cold temps will end and I can walk again!!!

Sorry, I've been so busy the past week, I haven't had time to write. It's another super busy work and school week again, so I have to keep this on the short side.
Long story short: I am disgusted with myself. I can't get past this plateau. I can't stop eating the wrong foods and more of the right ones. I can't walk because it's cold. It was negative 5 with a windchill of negative 14 this morning. This is insane weather and I hate it.
In summary, I have a very bad case of the winter blues coupled with the "I can hide fat under sweaters" syndrome.
UGH.
I can't wait for spring!

I couldn't be more stressed. I have so much going on at work and SO much work for classes. Tomorrow night is an MBA mid-term. All my extra time is being spent today and tomorrow on studying. I could've walked this morning. It was a balmy 24 degrees, but I opted for more sleep. If I make it through this week I will be ok. I just am having such a time juggling all that's going on this week. Ugh! Double ugh!! I can't even think or focus on making good food choices. That's weak, yeah, I know. I figure if I make it through this upcoming week without exploding up 2 sizes, it's a good thing. Life will return to normal soon enough and then I can worry about food issues. Until then, you probably won't see my messages much....
Pray for me! I need it!

Hey N. sorry I haven't been much support to you lately and I'm even sorrier to hear you're going through some rough times. I wanted the 'perfect trip' on this weight loss journey myself but yanno sometimes it just doesn't go as planned. Just keep trying girl, it'll all come to you
Scratch that '2 sizes' scenario, I KNOW you're NOT gonna let that happen

Days # 190 - 198 Time for a Re-Launch
Trucker, thanks for the support. I'm getting back on track as of today! The pants are a little tighter, but not much. I didn't blow it completely!
Happy Ash Wednesday!!
And, with the beginning of lent, I am re-launching my serious efforts into maintaining my diet plan. I've been lax the past week or so because of stress and classes and work...it never seems to end lately. Next Tuesday is my final MBA class for the semester. Then, I'll just have one class until end of April. I'm taking the entire summer off from classes, so I'm diving back into dieting full-force. I figure the beginning of lent is an excellent jumping point.
So far today I'm doing well. Did a fruit right-size smoothie for breakfast. And, for lunch I brought in a Healthy Choice meal. I think it's salisbury steak. I didn't have time to make jello last night, so that's basically my lunch. Now, my tough point is the evening. I'm going to try to head out straight for a walk (weather permitting) when I get home. That should curb my appetite for the evening. Let's hope!
I'm thinking of trying out hypnosis. Any thoughts on that? I'm seriously going to try to return to the daily emails. They keep me pretty on track.
Back to work now...

Sorry to have been such a stranger. I'm glad to report my MBA class is finally complete for the semester. Tuesday night was our last class. I had a mid-term, a group final, an individual paper, a group paper, and a group presentation all due on the same night. UGH!!! As you can guess, I was a little crazy and not so much concerned with weight and/or food issues. I had spent all the last week preparing for that class, so I really didn't pay too much attention to diet. I've failed myself. But, I'm not going to dwell on it. Class is over (just have one to finish out my Thursday night classes, which isn't as demanding). Spring is on the way. And, I'm back on serious track as of today. I'm hopeful that the weather will start to cooperate and I can once again resume my morning walks. The temps should remain in the 20s in the mornings and that is warm enough for me to walk...provided there isn't any ice or snow! Only one month exactly until we leave for Disney....hope to have made a serious dent in weight loss by then! At least one size. Wish me luck!!

Greetings from Snowy PA! Even when I try to seriously get in a walk, I can't. I'm so sick of this miserable COLD weather. I would've tried to walk in the snow, but it was just too darn cold.
I'm really trying to get back on track. It's been so hard this semester. For some reason I just can't get back into the swing of it. I was doing so well and I feel I've just hit such a wall. I need something to definitely PUSH me hard back on that track to good eating. I wish I could figure it out. Ugh, it's just so frustrating. I do ok during the day. I do my smoothies for breakfast, have a decent low-calorie lunch, but at night some sort of food monster takes a hold of me. Last night was awful. I was helping a friend and didn't even get a chance to eat anything until about 10 p.m. I know that's bad, but I was starving!
Seriously............I need to get back on my serious track. I MUST! No more cheating for me!! It's not even a hunger thing. It's a love of food thing. I don't crave anything, I could just not eat... but some tapeworm inside of me gets a hold of an idea to eat, oh, say Sprees...and there's no stopping me! UGH.
Back on track, back on track, I must try harder to get back on track!

Here I am again, having allowed several days pass by before checking in, which seems unacceptable since I sit in front of a computer all day at work!
I did very well yesterday. Did my smoothie for breakfast, a lean crapzene and sugar-free pudding for lunch, and then a 200-calories chicken noodle soup for dinner! Oh, and in a few moments of weakness 2 Lifesaver popsicles mid-evening. It was an 800-ish calorie day. I know, not enough...but for me I need to be in complete control. It seems the more calories I eat, the more I want to eat.
Today I started taking the RSS multi-vitamin and also the App-Assure. We'll see if that makes a difference in my desire to eat everything in sight lately. I swear if I ever got any s-e-x, I'd think I was pregnant for all the weird cravings I've been having and the urges to keep shoveling food into my mouth! I'll give them a fair week's chance to see if they make a difference. I sincerely hope they do!
Next, I need to start exercising. To do anything...something... The weather is turning nicer, so I have no excuse. This week I have a mid-term on Thursday. So, all my free time in the next few days must be spent studying. My brain is mush. I can't seem to recall or retain any information. So, instead of beating myself up for not working out, I'm going to dedicate this week to studying... I can return to beating myself up on Friday after the test is past ;-)
Just 17 more days until we leave for Florida. Yeah, I don't think my goal of fitting into the smaller sized bathing suit I purchased at Christmas time is going to happen. I'll have to save it as a summer-time goal. I've really been lax on myself over the past month. February was pretty much a washout now that I look back on it. I am determined not to let March be the same...or April...or May...or any future months as well.
My niece's birthday party is this Saturday. I am asking my two sisters that will be there NOT to let me eat any pizza or cake or goodies. It is right around lunchtime, so that will be hard. I'll have to load up on something good before I go!
So far today, so good. Smoothie breakfast...I have a leano-crapzeno for lunch and another sugar-free pudding planned. (That will bring me to 490 calories for the day after lunch.) I may have dinner plans with some classmates as well, but I'm really hoping to get out of them. I'd rather go home and eat something healthy on my own. There are too many temptations on the menu when I go out. I really need to start limiting myself to one, two max, meals out a week. Both to save money and to control calories!!
Have a good Tuesday!
Here I am again, having allowed several days pass by before checking in, which seems unacceptable since I sit in front of a computer all day at work!
I did very well yesterday. Did my smoothie for breakfast, a lean crapzene and sugar-free pudding for lunch, and then a 200-calories chicken noodle soup for dinner! Oh, and in a few moments of weakness 2 Lifesaver popsicles mid-evening. It was an 800-ish calorie day. I know, not enough...but for me I need to be in complete control. It seems the more calories I eat, the more I want to eat.
