The Road to Change...

Heya's Change,
Congrats on your self control! Your doing great,
Hope you have a fun healthy weekend,Tammy:)
 
Let me get this straight... you didn't eat the remaining frosting OR lick the batter bowl??? WOW! good for you! you're my role model, I would have definately hid in a closet and binges on the remaining frosting. You're doing so great!!
 
So, I haven't posted in a few days, but I've been keeping track of my diet and exercise on SparkPeople. I've been in and out of these boards not staying long enough to post in my diary, been busy with other stuff.

I just walked. The last time I walked I didn't walk for long and only did about a mile, but today I did 2 miles in 40 minutes! After about a mile I kept arguing with myself to stop, my legs felt like they were going to explode, but I just kept going. I'm really proud of myself, I know 40 minutes is a long time for most people but I never walk as my exercise, for some reason jogging in place at Curves is so much easier. lol. I guess because of the hard contact with the ground, it can really do a number on the legs and feet.

It felt really good. It's pretty cold here (for California weather), and its so amazing beautiful. The mountains are snowcapped and the smog level is really low so its really crisp and clear. As I was walking it seemed to get easier and easier, I felt like I could have went on for a really long time. But I stopped because there was a really creepy man coming toward me, lol, and there was a big ditch thing off the side of the road, I kept thinking that I should turn back before I get killed and thrown down in there. Hey, ya never know! lol. I had no cell phone with me, and there were no cars out, it seemed pretty deserted except for me and that man, so I turned back in a speedy pace.

So anyways, yeah. I walked, I should do it more often so it will be easier and easier for me.

It's all that global warming stuff people are talking about.

It's 46 degrees right now (i just checked). That is definitely below California averages!!!
 
I thought I'd come by and say what I ate today. It is the first time in over two months that I have overate like this. I went to Chilis tonight and I was kind of bad. So I thought I'd account for it.

Breakfast - Cinnamon Toast.
Snack - Orange
Dinner - Chili's Babyback ribs. Had a slab and a half. Half the fries. Ate the veggies. And many chips and salsa.

I went to their website to find out the nutritional information and it's sort of hard to figure out what I had on there but I added it up to be about...

2655 Calories total!!!!!!

UGHHHH!!!! lol. I'm defintely going to work my ass off to make up for it. At least I let myself binge one night. It's really the first time ever.

Another plus today, my friend that has lost 75lbs (YAY FOR HER!!) no longer needed her old clothes and let me say she has some VERY nice stuff. I got tons of blouses, a jacket, some pants. All of them practically brand new. The size of the blouses are about a 20/22, and I can fit into all of them! The pants are a size 20, I can't fit into them, I'm still wearing a size 24/26, but its definitely something to aim for. What a cool Christmas present she got me by giving me all those clothes. It's like I went shopping, my closet is full of awesome clothes!! :D

I also went shopping tonight to finish off my Christmas shopping. I'm in a really good mood despite the overeating thing. But no more of it, that is it for a while, I had my fun. :D lol.

People, regulars that come by my diary, I luv all ya'll and I wish you all a Merry Christmas. You're so wonderful and I hope I have given you as much support as you have given me. I will be by diaries as soon as possible. But for now I'm tired.

Merry Christmas!!!!
 
Hey girlie!!! I about fainted when I read the cal intake on those ribs. I ate there last weekend and had a whole rack.. I was starving, but I hadn't eaten very much that day. Heck I weighed in at my goal weight still on that following Monday but considering that I may have been a pound lighter the Friday before!:p Oh well, it's over and done now. It won't kill either of us...I don't hope. lol

Keep up the great work, and have a beautiful Christmas! *hugs*
 
Hey you , this is twolilangels...had to change my screen name anyway...WIshing you a very Merry CHristmas and Happy Holidays!!!
 
Thanks guys!!!

I decided to go off my diet until Christmas is over. It's because my mind isn't focused. There's people always coming over, there's food everywhere, etc, its just chaos. I'm not overeating AT ALL, but I haven't been exercising.

I hope I haven't gained anything. I don't think I have. If I have, oh well, I'll worry about it after the holidays. I've decided that I'm not going to go ballistic if I can't be perfect.
 
My doggie says Merry Christmas too. :)

He DID NOT like that santa hat on him. lol "Get this f'in thing off me." That's what he's thinking.
 
So I got a scale for Christmas. A digital scale, it looks really nice and everything, but I don't think its working right. lol. I weighed myself two times and it was different weights. One time it said 284.4 and another time it said 281.4 or soemthing. I can believe the 284 one, MAYBE, but not the 281. lol. Whatever, I'm gonna take it back (if my mom can find the receipt, she says she can't find it, ugh! lol) and I'll get a regular dial one, I think those are most accurate.

I'm gonna weigh myself at Curves and see how much I weigh... I think I've gained, but I don't know. I haven't been exercisng or eating as well as I should. My pants though, are extremely loose. Weird.

Maybe I have lost, is it possible to lose without exercising?

Good Christmas so far. :) I'm actually kind of bored right now.

Isn't awkward when people come by with a gift for you, and you don't have one in return for them? I feel soooo awful. It happened today. :( I thought I remembered everyone, I guess not.

I'm totally rambling. Have a Merry Christmas everyone. :D
 
Howdy J!! A new scale - wooo.. hopefully you can get it returned for one that isn't broken? Have a great night!! :D:D:D
 
I lost 5lbs...

All I have to say is: WTF?

I haven't exercised in a week, I go into Curves and I'm down 5lbs. I don't get it. Last night I was in the kitchen binging on peach cobbler. I don't get it... but I'll accept it. Now I've had my little week off, and I've miraculously lost a bunch of weight, I'm gonna get back on track and make sure that I don't put the weight back on...

Absolutely. The mega-obese (like 500-600 pound people) do it all the time without exercise due to their caloric intake requirement is extremely high to maintain such a weight so any substantial calorie drop definitely puts them in rapid weight loss, in fact I would imagine exercise a mere impossiblity for some until they get down to a reduced weight to regain mobility.

Sometimes it just happens that way. Your body finds itself metabolizing at a more generous rate when the threat of starvation is gone and you're not taxing your system with exercise. I have gone through some serious metabolism swings myself like this. Sometimes breaks are good - just don't make it a permanent vacation :D
