When you gotta GTL....you gotta GTL.

I'm not sure what is going on today. I've been feeling hungry all day and have had...all sorts of food...rice..sushi...chai latte...I've been eating and eating and the only reason I can think of is that I am due for my period soon. But I do not sense other "my period is on its way" indicators e.g. rise in body temp and all that fun stuff.

Not sure what is going on.

Looking forward to being on the rag and getting back to normal.
Pretty sure my SW tomorrow is going to be high. Really high.
 
Hi Not.breaking! How was your day today? How are your gums doing! i hope BETTER!!

OK, so, my starting weight this morning: 109 pounds. I'll post that on my diary too. Oh, and i dont even want to THINK about what I ate today. My nephew turned 1 today and he had a birthday party. I had 2 pieces of pizza, cake, and ice cream for dinner. Breakfast was my usual toast with peanut butter, and cereal. I did manage to do at LEAST 30 min. on the elliptical machine today. Do you always get that hungry when you get your period??

Hey Akani- my gums are slowly getting better, but still a bit swollen, thanks for asking!!!

Yes, I always get super hungry before my period...not on it...but before it!
 
Have been an absolute train wreck in terms of food the past THREE days. I don't even want to write down what I had. The weather is getting more and more crummy and getting to me. Anyways, decided to take life by the horns and went to the gym today!
3 miles.

Eats:
Oatmeal 180 cals
Chicken sandwich 300 cals
Coke 160 cals ** not the best pick
Banana 100 cals
Orange 75 cals
Energy Bar 180 cals

TOTAL before dinner: 995 calories

Not sure what I'm going to have for dinner but I definitely see areas that need improvement in the above!
 
Hey there, I doubt I will lose 2 pounds by the end of this week. In fact, I'm sure to have gained weight from all the binging. My new goal is to lose 5 pounds by december 10. I have a binging problem and I need to resolve this quickly. I will still do my weekly weigh Ins and the appettite suppressants seem not to be working. I'm just so upset with myself right now. How are you doing?

Hey Akani- So, lol, I'm pretty much in the same boat you're in. I went out last night and ate A LOT- in fact, the 4 days I have been to the gym must pretty much have been ruined by yesterday and today. It's hard to stay motivated....but...I'm still weighing in on Monday. The weather is getting even colder which makes it more easier to stay in and ...eat, lol, but that shouldn't be an excuse, right? Right. Hoping to be at least a lb down by Monday, and if not......I just need a proper eating plan.
 
Have had a pretty busy week. Felt sort of low about myself as well and so did not feel like writing. I had my starting weight shoot up to 113.4lbs the week after my dinner out with friends and after a huge binging session on the weekend. I have been on my period this week, so I'm sure the water weight is affecting my weight right now. I'm just assuming my starting weight is back to 111 or 110 lbs. I've had quite a bit of time to think these past few days. And I think the way I am going about my weight loss is a bit wrong. I'm not incorporating as much healthy food as I can. So, without saying much else, the goal for the end of this week or next Sunday is 109lbs. I will get there.

I tend to give up on myself the days I have my low self-esteem days. It affects everything I do. But need to get out of that mode of thinking. I'm really trying but it takes time to start thinking differently about yourself.
 
Hope ur doing ok.. I have those days too. I'm back to 109.5 due to period and holidays. So starting over again...
 
I know motivation is very powerful in groups and from family and this is what we focus on each day.We only have a goal of 10 lbs so it will be easy to kick it.
 
Thanks for the support, Akani and rwc.

I weighed in this morning at 111.4 lbs but still on my period. Goal for next Monday :109lbs
 
SW today: 111.2 lbs

Motivation is wavering a bit- and emotional eating still persists- but the beauty- or rather the ironic part about all this is that....I have been feeling depressed- and this alone motivated me to go to the gym today. It wasn't about looking good, it wasn't about achieving my goal- it was more about, I don't want to feel depressed- I don't want to feel stressed- I just need something to lift me up. I've never really hit the gym to avoid feeling depressed but today I did. Didn't really work out too much- did 2 miles on the eliptical with difficulty but I'm glad I made it. I would like to get tested for S.A.D. this month - if I can motivate myself to go to the doctor.
 
SW this week: 110 lbs (this number loves me too much)

GOAL FOR THE WEEK : 109LBS!!!

It's winter again, snow started Sat and we're getting it pretty much from now on. It just sucks driving in the winter....I'm counting down winter, 114 days to go....from Dec till the end of March....sigh. LONG WAY but I really shouldn't make it all doom and gloom, it just sucks because it's harder to get to the gym.
 
Can't say I am not losing motivation with the winter. I am. I just want to stay in and hibernate. I need a home workout plan.
 
I weighed in at 109lbs this morning but that is sure to go up and down. My new goal for just this week is 108lbs. I have Friday, Saturday and Sunday to get down to 108. something.
 
It's winter and exercise has been minimal these past few days, also with xmas and holiday season, food is in abundance these days, especially sweet stuff. I'm not sure how I am going to battle the dessert temptation over the next three weeks but I am determined to make a change for the better.

I want to go on a clean diet, meaning no junk food...and lots of veggies and fruits. I want to give it a shot this week. It takes 30 days for something to become a habit.
 
The snow is really coming down this week. Anyways, because I have not been to the gym regularly I am trying to balance it off with healthy eating. I really should get my ass to the gym this week- and I will. I have to wrap my head around the fact that the next 3.5 months will be like this so I will have to adjust and still get exercise in.

Today's eats:
1 Apple
1 cup oatmeal with sugar
1 bowl of chicken pasta soup
7 crackers
4-5 almonds
1 slice whole wheat bread with tuna
 
Went to gym today. Exhausted. Which is a good thing. Ate relatively ok. I hate the winter. But I am on a mission. No turning back- holidays or no holidays I am not screwing up my diet. It's about time I did this already. I cannot afford to backtrack.
 
So the holidays have passed- and I'm sort of happy because it means the xmas feasts and holiday chocolate treats are done. I have managed to maintain weight over the hols. It's almost January and the worst of winter is yet to come- I hope I can keep my motivation up.
