Ok... well... I have been not doing well at all.. new job setting up new restaurant.. long hours and back to eating whatever I can get my hands on usually late at night after I am exhausted... $##%^^!!!! *sigh* I am lost trying to figure out a healthy eating routine when I barely have a routine at all now... I am keeping the faith though... Have a wonderful night forum friends!

Well... I am back after like 3 weeks of bad...
Cooks and very opinionated no-it-all restaurant owners just do not mix well sometimes... I felt like Rod Serling was going to step out from around the corner at any minute and explain that I had been sucked into a weird alternate universe...
The hours and the stress have thrown any good habits I had been developing (with the help of forum friends) completely out the window... I was back to Red Bull and Crispitoes on the way to work, coffee coffee coffee at work, and anything I could get my hands on late at night after work while drinking myself into a coma to forget about work... repeat, repeat, repeat... so now I feel like absolute crap, and don't want to go near my Wii Fit to be told what a failure I am by it too... I can do that well enough myself, thank you... *sigh*
BUT... That shizit is behind me now... back to basics and taking care of this rapidly deteriorating, aging and swelling bod o mine... time to kick myself in the ass again commit... again.... ha ha... Aint life grand!
Have a fantastic day forum friends!

1 cup coffee with soy milk- 50 so far... going to reset my Wii as it says like day 70 or something, but since I have been MIA for 3+ weeks, I'd rather not see that...

Mood... ok
Well.. reset the Wii and I only gained 4 lbs over the last 3+ weeks of being completely unhealthy.. I guess it could be worse.. I am not changing my ticker cause I will get back there ASAP!!! Sunflower's pics have inspired me to what a smaller goal can look like instead of looking at the whole 70+... My dreams of a svelter summer have been pushed back a bit, but I don't care, I just care that I am back to it!
Have a wonderful day forum friends... and Happy Mom Day to all you Moms out there!!!

lean cuisine-220
big salad-150
bbq chicken-500
corn on the cob-100
4 vod tonics-320
=1450

YAY! I'm glad my pics helped! It's ALL about celebrating the little losses and you WILL do it! Take a bunch of pictures each week in the same clothes--really helps you to see the little losses!

Okkkk... been a few days~ had a funeral of a friend to deal with... aaaaand at the reception after someone moved a chair I had put over this 2 inch high beam across the floor.... aka death trap... and i ran across it with a platter of grilled corn... kaboom! smashed both my knees on concrete... can you say pissed off??BUT... I totally saved the corn... leave it to me to sacrifice my body to save food I wasn't even planning on eating... Jen on floor holding plate above head... wondering if I might have gotten away with not being seen in a room full of like 150 people... embarrassment trumps pain *sigh*!!! Black n blue knees, but ok otherwise... Good news being that I am now officially back down to what my ticker says.... actually a smidge under, but I am not gonna change it till it till it is all the way on the line... so yay! Have a wonderful day forum friends!!!

It is nice to be kinda back on track... did ok yesterday... vegie soup... fresh spring rolls (the not fried kind) and a sandwich for dinner... had a couple drinks, but not as much as I have been having lately... frustrated out of work chef sits home and cooks/eats/drinks while messing about on computer... nice.... blech!
Did anyone see Oprah's show yesterday? Not usually an Oprah watcher, but it was about the book Women, Food, God... or something like that... very interesting, but kinda inspirational and deeply depressing at the same time... Like Ya.. I am screwed up, thanks for reminding me... You make it sound so easy, like bolt of lightning... KABAAM... instant realization... WOW everything is different now and I will never have to diet again... HA! NOT so easy...
Now I have to go prep for a catering tomorrow for 60 people.. a bunch of food that I would love but should not have... Glorious! Maybe I should change professions... become like an insurance salesgirl or something... I would definitely not have an overwhelming urge to keep getting all the insurance I could find.... *sigh*

Aaaah... the catering went well, and I did really well... funny how I just am not hungry when I am busy... I even lost some #'s over the last couple days.. Yay!
Getting closer to where I ended before I fell off the wagon 2 months ago... Tired but happy... The only problem is I got totally sunburned... We just don't think about sunscreen much up here in Oregon, and the event was outside... low & behold the sun was out (rare) and now I look like a big red strawberry... anyone know home remedy for sunburn? Off to make protein shake...
Have a greazate Thurzday Forum Friendzzzz!

Doing pretty well today even tho it is cold and icky outside...
1 week of reset under my belt, and starting to feel better about it.. that first week after over-indulging for a while is the worst... hungry hungry all the time... but I made it through and am starting to feel satisfied with smaller meals again... Phew! Now that that is over... time to start my daily food journal again....
Also trying to train myself to eat more in the morning instead of at night... I hate breakfast though, so having some good organic soups- especially while it is still so chilly out...
Thinking about going and spending money that I should not be spending on an ipod to make walking by myself more appealing... Should I? Shouldn't I? Will I use it enough to warrant the cost? Hmmm....
protien shake with soy- 200
Amy's lentil soup
with pita crisps on top - 400 - Why is lentil soup twice as many calories as minestrone?
At least they are good calories, right? right? Please tell me I am right? *sigh* !!!calories are enemy!!! yes? no? Am i crazy? Well... ya...
2 string cheese - 120
pumpkin seeds - 100
vegie & tomatoes
1/2 c pasta - 400

Feeling ok today... proud about not having any cocktails last night
I think I have decided to throw caution to the wind and get an ipod... the guilt of having it will make me get out there and walk more... It wasn't so bad when I have someone to walk with, but now that I don't, I just don't... Walking alone in the quiet with my own thoughts is just NOT sound fun... Music will help? Yes? I hope... Will make an inspiring "move your ass" mix...
Maybe someday I can be quiet with my own self and be at peace out there with the birdies chirping and all that stuff, but right now I need some noise to cover up all the negativity that my brain seems to generate when left to my own devices... I always have to have tv + computer + music etc. going on to distract my one track- dark cloud- glass half empty mind set... See... I am doing it right now! poo!

I totally understand and can not workout without my mp3 player. Time goes by too slow for me otherwise. I keep wondering how long have I been going, how much longer till I am done, etc. The music lets your mind not think which is great because then the time just flies. I've been thinking about getting an IPOD too but don't have a computer at home right now so wouldn't be able to put music on it. Sometimes I even just listen to my am/fm device because there is always something to distract me on the radio.
Good luck with the IPOD - I know it will help!
