Won't get married until I lose weight!

Mad at Myself :(

Hi everyone,

I am upset (but trying to stay positive) because yesterday I had a fantastic day on my diet.. I ate so healthy all day, had a bomb workout, and was feeling invincible! But I ended up partying a little last night, consuming around 800 calories in bad stuff around 11pm. What a downfall!! I mean, yesterday was probably the best day I've had diet & exercise wise.. ever! And it all got ruined by too much partying in the evening.

Today is a new day and I have done quite well so far. I will have another great day today, I am just bummed that I did what I did last night. On the first day!! No more partying for me.. that's for sure.

Hope everyone is having a great day :)

I bombed my first couple days of dieting with eating a burger and fries out so don't feel too bad. It happens to all of us at some point. :D
So long as you're burning more than you're eating, you're on the path you want.

Sunny,

I know.. I am just tired of "bombing" days but stupid choices. And last night, had I been in my right mind, I would have said Heck no!! Disappointing. But today is a new day and like I said, I am doing good. Thank you for the continuous motivation. I am going to go buy a NEW scale this afternoon.. yay :) Weight update later!

I had to give up drinking when I decided to lose some weight. I get a mojito or something of the sort when I reach a certain point or I feel I've been doing really well. Rewarding myself with alcohol is a terrible thing, but considering I have a drink less than once a month, its not too bad.
Alcohol = tons of calories + tons of calories you eat from lowered inhibitions. Its a shame, 'cause I really do enjoy a Long Island Iced tea or a Crown and coke from time to time. :rolleyes:

Good luck on the new scale!

Hey BIN,

You know, I'm pretty sure I posted on one of your threads before, but apparently THIS one is your food journal. I think you're doing great so far. I know self-control is so difficult and I really liked your 15 min rule.

It's so so difficult when you're out with friends and you have to watch what you eat- I'll be out myself tomorrow night and I've decided to go right to the salads section, or eat before I start out of the house.

Great attitude, new day, new start! Good luck! And feel free to drop by my diary whenever. :)
 
Dont worry too much bride! we all have our bad "moments" . Keep up all your wonderful work! You will be in that goregous gown in no time!
 
Food Diary & Exercise Diary, Day 2

Coffee with coffee creamer- 45 calories

Lunch:
Tuna sandwich with light mayo & lettuce on a wheat roll (Subway)- 534 calories

Dinner:
Broccoli- 78.4 calories
Ear of corn (on the cob)- 170
Fat-free strawberry/banana yogurt- 80
Small Pear- 82 calories

Propel- 30 calories

Total calorie count for the day: 1019.4

Exercise:

Elliptical- 32 minutes, 3.5 miles, 330 calories
Bike- 20 minutes, 3.5 miles, 136 calories

100 crunches, 60 lunges, and today was another hardcore arms day! I upped the crunches and lunges.. it felt good! By the end of my workout, according to my heart monitor, I burned 670 calories! Yay! Better than yesterdays work out and tonight I'm not going to get any munchies :)

Hope everyone else had a great & healthy day, too!

Good Morning, all!

I am so sore this morning and really hungry! I am feeling tired but I will continue to work-out today. Tomorrow I have to work all day so I am wondering how I will fit in my work-out. Any tips?

Hey there,

I saw you had coffee for breakfast yesterday. I recently learned its a big no-no to have just coffee and cream for breakfast. As it turns out, the two aren't enough to stimulate/jumpstart the metabolism for the day. Its best if you give yourself something to munch on. I'd recommend a good combination of complex carbs, fats, and protein. You'll stay full and you'll fuel your body, allowing the metabolism to kick into full speed and start the day burning those calories. :D

Its a shame we can't live off coffee and cream... I'd do it if I could. I don't even like sugar in my coffee. Just a tiny bit of cream. Yum!

Hi Sunny!

The last couple of mornings I haven't had time for breakfast, so unfortunately I fall back on my lovely coffee with sugar free cream. Except this morning I did have a cup of cereal in fat free milk. Yum! I feel good this morning.. yesterday went well, too, although I didn't update. I will in another reply :)

Hope you're having a happy & healthy day!

100 crunches, 60 lunges, and another arms day.. I'm not totally pushing my arms to the max.. thus, three arms days in a row. But I will start taking it to that level in a week or two.. I'm trying to break myself in!

Work-out totals:
1 hour 15 mins, 7.7 miles, 723 calories burned

Soo... even though I ate more yesterday (we went out of town to my fiance's parents house.. not a reason or excuse, just saying..) I did push hard on the elliptical! I think I did okay yesterday. Could've ate less!
