Time's a Wastin, and I'm Still Fat.

Well, I was 180.2 this morning. Probably from the salty foods.
Not the best day today. Had my soup for lunch. On my drive home I was so tired and exhausted I stopped and got a chocolate bar and some pop.
I made sweet and sour farmer sausage and potatoes. Probably highish calories in that.

Grr, stupid peanut butter and chocolate

Yesterday wasn't a great day. Had a client give me a box of toblerone and I ate too many of those, I also had a pepsi, and went out for friend's birthday to a hot dog joint where they serve hot dogs with all kinds of crazy toppings. I did get water there and when we went back to a house for dessert I only had one cookie.
The next couple days will be really hard obviously with Christmas Eve and Christmas. Even though we already had our family Christmas, Most of us will still be spending the next couple days together with bad food abounding I'm sure. I just need to try to not gorge on it and to get back on track right after.
 
Shockingly I was 177.2 (maybe it was .8, can't remember) this morning.
Unfortunately I had some of my toblerones after lunch today.
 
Just a quick note. Had some bad moments but also some good moments. Like tofay for supper I only had one smaller serving of everything and a half slice of dessert.
 
Getting through Christmas is tough. Good for you, Mystic, making some good choices, along with the bad. Personally I feel like a big, fat pig! :( New Years resolutions are coming up for me! xo Cate
 
Haven't been having the best time with watching what I'm eating the past couple days. I even made a whole bunch of chocolate chip cookies today. Luckily I have a party to go to tomorrow so will bring them all there so o don't have them sitting at home.
 
So after eating a few of those cookies yesterday after making them I nearly threw up during the night. Fresh cookies combined with the bad food of the season and my body just wasn't sure if it could take it anymore! I HATE puking, it's my least favourite thing ever, so thankfully I was able to stave it off. It left me not having a very good night though cause once I finally thought I could leave the bathroom and get back into bed, I didn't think I should lie down fully and crawl under my covers as that can make me feel gross again. Instead I turned on a Netflix documentary about Ballerina's and watched that for 30-40 mins at around 3:00am, before finally thinking I felt well enough to try to actually go to sleep.
Since my night was so interrupted I allwed myself to sleep in till 11 the next day and not get out of bed till noon. I would have liked to go ride my horse but it was terribly cold outside and I was still feeling very exhausted. I warmed up some soup I made the other day for lunch. I did have 2 cookies for a snack. I made a pasta dish for supper. I didn't have the ingredients I would have needed to make an actual recipe so I just randomly threw stuff together and it actually came out pretty well. I also made myself a naan bread.
I went to a 'party' in the evening and brought all the cookies I had made, that way other people would eat the majority of them so I wouldn't. I had a couple more of my cookies, some carrots and dip, some chips, a few mint m&m's, and a couple cans of pop at the party. At the end of the night, I almost took the remainder of the cookies home, but then thought much better of it and gave the remainder to a couple of my friends.
I'm really hoping to go ride my horse tomorrow, and may possibly go to a pub/club type thing with friends for an Eve of New Year's Eve party, though I am not fully decided.
 
I totally do the same thing with junk food in the house- try and palm it off to other people. Or even throw it out. It's just not worth it being in the house with me! You seem a little more positive, I'm sure you'll reach your goals this new year!
 
I did decent yesterday till I went to a friend's house in the evening with a group of friends. We ended up ordering in pizza, and had some sunflower seeds, pistachios, cookies, and salt water taffy.
But I'm hoping to make some better choices today, though with the new years eve party I'm not sure if I will be able to. Will be so happy once these parties are all done!!
 
So yesterday I went and rode my horse in the afternoon, then did a massive grocery shop. Went home and made myself noodles with gravy and some naan bread for lunch around 3:30. I then didn't eat anything till the party. I had some of my cheese-y dip, some meatballs, a little bit of chips, a few chocolates, 1 mini cupcake, and 2 pops. I don't think it was too ridiculous but probably could have been better. Went to bed around 4am.
Today I got out of bed around noon and went to the barn and rode. Jumped my horse a little bit.
Got home around 2:30 and warmed up some leftover sweet and sour potatoes and farmer sausage. My sister in law asked to go out for supper, I suggested a place close to her that I knew had a really good meal and we decided to go there. It wasn't till after we decided to go there that I looked up the calorie count and my usual was over 1600 cals! And I don't know if that was with or without the fries!! And it isn't really something that would be nice warmed back up again for the next day. I decided to go there and enjoy it, as I was happy that I was just eating 2 meals and no snacking/boredom eating, but I would just get water and not pop. It was delicious, but next time I will try to make better choices.
I emailed a woman's fitness place semi near me that offered really fun classes (from pole dancing, to strength, to cycling, to kick boxing). They have a lot of classes every night and seem to be reasonably priced so I'm gonna see what that's all about and hopefully give it a try. I so prefer interactive classes to just going to the gym or running.
 
Phew, had some very strong cravings tonight. Very strong desires for either popcorn or granola bars. Neither of these are too high calorie, but after that dinner meal I don't have anything to spare.
 
Keep fighting the good fight Mystic. I like the idea of classes. You seemed to do pretty well with the burlesque stuff back in the day, so I think it would be great if you got back into something fun that also helps you get more exercise in.

You shall kill it in 2015.

Happy new year!!!
 
Thank you! I'm disappointed that I haven't heard back from the fitness class place yet. THey may be closed till Jan 5th for the holidays, or they may not use their email anymore (I checked their FB, twitter, and instagram acounts and they have all been inactive for varying lengths of time). If I don't hear from them by Monday I will try to give them a call.

Doing decent today. I didn't go ride and I should have, though the roads weren't the best, they likely will be worse tomorrow. So all I have done today is laze around. I would love to be able to convince myself to even just do one of the half hour Jillian Michael workouts.
I've been doing great about not snacking though. I haven't snacked once today. I ate lunch, not sure what the cals were (noodles with a home made gravy, plus 2 naan breads with butter) but probably not super low. Not sure what I will do for supper yet. I do think I'll probably have to get back to counting calories, but maybe for right now doing 2 meals and maybe a small snack would be ok to start.
I had wanted to weigh myself this morning but totally forgot to. I just weighed myself now and it was 183.2, however that was after my heavy lunch and I had very high sodium restaurant food yesterday so I think that's more water/food weight.
I still really would like to be 160 (or lower) by the end of March. Gotta get my butt in gear for that!
 
It's getting a little annoying how difficult it is to post a reply on this forum. I first open the page I want to post on, but there is never a box to write in, so I have to click 'Post quick reply'. That would take me to the screen that would say 'my message is too short' and usually that screen had a message box that I could use. But now I usually have to reload that page yet (which gives me an 'are you sure you want to resend info' pop up that I have to click 'continue' on) then usually I finally get a message box. I am on several other forums and never have this issue. But it's every time on this board.

Anyways. Finished off well. Tried a new chicken recipe (honey, mustard, bacon, cheese) that was really good. I also had 2 small-medium 'baked' (in the microwave) potatoes with butter. It was so filling I almost didn't finish it, would have actually been good if I had left the last couple bites cause I really was feeling quite full and did not need them. But still, no snacking and I think this was a decent meal.

I got a reply back from the fitness class place. They didn't give me a whole lot of info, but I could get a pass for up to 3 classes a week for a month which would cost $65 which actually isn't bad. Might have to give that a go.

I, so far at least, have not done any exercise.
 
Hi Mystic. Try Firefox for the forum. I have given up on using Chrome, but only just for the WLF. It is annoying & I wish they would fix it, but, until they do, there seems to be no hassles using Firefox. I don't like the idea of logging much either, but think it helps keep me on track. Well done on not snacking. You made me realise I didn't either! Cheers, & Happy New Year Mystic, xoxo Cate
 
OMG, so I just looked up the calories on the naan bread. Wow, nearly 200 cals for HALF of one, and I usually have 2! So nearly 800 cals JUST on the bread! Gonna not be having much more of that!
 
Nearly vomited. I just tried to do 15 mins of a 45 min dance workout video on youtube and nearly vomited. I had to quickly turn it off and open the door to the outside to get in some cold air, and crouch down, and it still took a while before I thought I would be ok. Drenched in sweat. I've paused it now and will try again hopefully in a few mins once my heart rate has come down.
 
That sounds a bit scary Mystic. Perhaps you should just ease into vigorous exercise for a while & take baby steps. Hope you're OK. It might be a good idea to get a checkup from your doctor soon. Take care xo Cate.
