Tiffany's journey to a healthier life...

Ugh... this cold is killing me! I weigh-in (officially) in the morning. I am not expecting much of a loss. I have been doing fine calorie/ serving size this week... so maybe I will get lucky. I have been weighing myself pretty much every day. As of yesterday and today I was down a little, but not much. We will see. One week of maintenance won't kill me. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to recover.

Sorry I haven't written in anyone's diary today. We have real patients tomorrow... so I have been trying to prepare. :S

I will update in the AM :).
 
Have you thought of switching mutis?? Quite a few on the market have really low absorption rates, and then ya get sick easier... Oooh- and EmergenC! That stuff rocks- have a few packets of that and buhhhh by cold :D

Good luck with the real patients tomorrow :)
 
Small loss...

Jess,
I actually just switched mulit's. I was taking the GNC women's ultra mega and now I am taking the APEX women's mulit. I switched a couple days before I got the relentless cold. I don't know. School just started and there are a lot of germs there that I am not used to being exposed to. Thats probably where this nasty cold came from. I just woke up from a 4 hour nap.

To my weigh-in. I weighed-in at 179.0. So I lost a total of 4oz. Not too exciting, but at least I didn't gain. Maybe I will have a big loss next week. That is usually what happens, I loose a little one week, but then have a big loss the week after. We will see.

As for goals for next week... be healthy! I am not going to put a loss goal this week as I don't know when I will be able to get back out there and exercise.

Food today could have been better. I had my fruit for breakfast. Then I had a basil and mozzarella panini with cream of carrot soup for lunch. Both items were from the Metropolitan market (yummmm). It is one of my favorite pick-me-ups. The sad thing was I couldn't taste very much of it :(. Not sure what dinner has in store. We might be going to Apple Bee's, but not sure yet. More soup possibly? I don't know if I want to sit in a restaurant. We will see.

We ended up not going to a movie the other day. We went to dinner and I was done in after that.

Thats all for now. I need to go find some water and veg. Ice cream anyone? I think I am going to have some tonight. Feed a cold starve a fever... maybe thats why I'm not any better... I haven't been feeding my cold very well.
 
I haven't posted in a few days... but I am still here! I have been eating and sleeping for the past few days. I have been feeding my cold well and am now finally feeling a little better (knock on wood). I ate quite a few things that I probably shouldn't have, but I needed to do something to help this cold. Hopefully I will be feeling well enough to workout later this week. Right now I am trying to get caught up on all of the school stuff that I pushed aside this week.

I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to check in on diaries later tonight. :D
 
Alright, I am fessing up. I just came off of a 3 day binge. While I know that I needed this to help me get better (at least this is what I am telling myself) I still feel really guilty. Starting tomorrow I am back on my healthier plan. For some reason this cold has been lingering around, but as soon as I started eating more I started feeling better :s. Anyways, I am back on! Hopefully the last three days haven't killed me on the scale. I think I am going to start weighing-in on Thursday's instead of Fridays... they just work better for me. I am not going to get on the scale until Thursday... this whole weighing myself everyday... or sometimes multiple times a day is craziness.

Anyways, that is my confession... I feel better now. Bring on this week of being healthy (with food and no sickness!).
 
We have ALL been there(I seem to do it a lot tho, lol). You'll get back on track, and you'll make up for it. You know what they say- fall off the horse, get back on!
 
Hey Tiffany
It sounds like you are doing GREAT! I am excited to be in the 180s, and really looking forward to hitting the 170s for the first time since having my kids (ummm...about 10 years ago :eek:).

Keep up the great work!
 
hey tiff,
glad to hear youre feeling better. i went on a binge this weekend too but im gonna start to try and be good again too. thanks for keeping tabs on me- i need that!!
 
I am feeling much better today. Both today and yesterday I have been good with the food situation. It is much easier when I have to go to class then on the weekends when we go out... that will be my next goal. To eat healthier on the weekends. I don't know if I will have a loss this week (due to last weekend). I also haven't been able to work out yet. I think I will be feeling up to it on Thursday or Friday. I will be OK with no loss this week (or a small gain). I just need to be happy with the success that I have had thus far and know that if I continue the weight will come off. It might take a little longer than I would like, but it will come off. I don't need to drop all of the weight right now anyways... my first "event" that I would like to be lighter for isn't until January 5th.

Thanks to everyone who checked in. I will try to make it around to your diaries tonight. I only have 50 pages to read. Whats 50 pages, right?
 
Yet another good food day (so far). I have been really good about brining lunch with me when I know its going to be a crazy day at school. It has been helping me eat healthier and smaller portions than I normally would.

I am really hoping to see 178.something on the scale in the morning. I have seen 179 a lot, but I have yet to see anything below that *Keeping fingers crossed*.

I will update with my weight in the morning. I have a long night of homework ahead of me.
 
Time frames...

I know I said I wouldn't write anything else until the morning, but I am feeling chatty and I am sitting alone.

So, tonight I have officially put time frames on my weight loss. I have been apart of the fall semester challenge for students and want to be down to 165 by the end of the semester. I also just joined the birthday challenge :p. I have set my birthday goal at 154lbs. I can hardly imagine me at 154. I do have a picture from when I was 18, but it has been a long time! I am scared and excited at the same time. It is a good goal. ~ 1.5 lbs a week is what it comes down to. Thats really do-able... as long as I don't get sick too much this semester and it requires that I be good through the holidays and my vacation. w

I am ready! And excited! I am going to set 148 goal for valentines day. I think that is reasonable! I would be so excited to be able to by a sexy little dress to wear on valentines day... I have never been able to do that! Oh yes, valentines day it is! :cool:

I am re-energized! Ready to go bring on a new healthy life! :beerchug:

Heck yes, thats perfectly reasonable. AND you can buy more than one sexy little dress :) Thats my goal. Get skinny, dress like a hootch for a bit. NOOOO. I'm kidding. A little. Ok, a lot, ya have the fat girl complex for so long, I don't know if I could really ever dress like a hootch.. But anyway, that was a lotta ramble about a lotta nothin. SO- fingers crossed for 178 tomorrow! Watch it be like 177. That would be awesome. Have a great day!
 
Great to see your re-energized! I haven't read many of the challenge form stuff maybe I should set some I dunno!

I think the goals you are setting for yourself are perfectly reasonable! It will be amazing when you are done and you reach your goal and how wonderful you will feel! Can't wait to hear your progress! Have a great day Tiffany!
 
Determined...

Well, I was disappointed this morning. The scale did not change... I get this inkling thought that maybe it doesn't know how to go below 179, but I have weighed my cats on it and it is correct for them.

I understand why I didn't loose. I really only had 3 days of eating healthy this week due to my weekend binge. I am thankful that I did not gain anything (at least according to today) from that. It is nice to see that when I weighed in at 179 it wasn't a fluke. I always think that low weigh-ins might be just a fluke for that day. Well... apparently it is not... I weigh 179. I also only had 6 days of this week (since I changed weigh-in from Friday to Thursday)... not that one day would have done much, but maybe a couple of ounces below 179 would have been nice. I also had a high sodium dinner last night... maybe that had something to do with it?

Goals for this week:
1. Eat healthy this weekend
2. Work out at least 3x (I am feeling better)
3. Loose 1.5lbs
4. Not weighing myself everyday (it is not helpful)

I am going to try to go for a walk tonight, it just depends on how late I get home from school. I want to get out there and see how my body reacts after being sick for two weeks.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Bring on the week!
 
hey,
hahaha thats so funny that you weigh your cats on the scale. i always get off of it and then just push with only my foot and then get back on. just to make sure, you know.
i actually read a study done at yale that said that weighing yourself everyday has been proven to help in weight maintenence. Im not sure about weight loss.. but i guess the premise is that if you weigh yourslf every day you notice a 1 lb gain and youll make sure not to let it get out of hand.
anyways- i think your goals are great. good luck this week... break 179!! :)
 
Hey Tiffany,

Sounds like really good realistic goals. I know what you mean about thinking scales dont know any different. I think mine will be shocked if and when I drop below 210!!!

Have a good weekend!
 
you totally can do it tiffany! I will be pulling for you. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us this weekend although I read its suppose to be awful......... Ugh Seattle winters right this is the time of year I get so depressed!

I am sure if you do what you listed you will shatter 179!!! Go get'em!!!
