Wooo!!! Its the Nature Boy's Diary!

Starting to tighten up a bit more - down to 145. Hope its not the water - I'll update the ticker and we can see what happens!

Fighting the urge to binge a bit today. Stressed out. Didn't have a real lunch (stupid) so snacking and trying to figure out whether it is hunger or stress. I now think it is stress.... Trying to make it through to dinner!

This was a bad day - need to rebound tomorrow!

Breakfast smoothie
Gym - Weight circuit, 20 mins running, a bit of swimming
Half an apple
Luna Bar
7 almonds, 1 cashew
one tomato, one red pepper. Fresca.
One maple cookie from the Health Food store - these are excellent!
Apple
12 almonds
Orange
Bite of biscotti
16 almonds (!) - I'm making dinner right now! Having some diet soda helped - though I try not to drink it too often - sometimes you can only drink so much water!
Cod/broccoli - tasted like soap - I think I need to wash out my steamer better
Luna bar
Apple
Approx 80 almonds - ouch
2 biscotti
Small chocolate bar


Coffee - two double long.

Not that it's a contest, but umm.. I did terrible yesterday too! HA.

Hubby and I went to this awesome restaurant and ate some really REALLY amazing food. I guess I should do my usual list in my diary.

Welcome to the WLF and your diary, and you know, what's a day? It's behind you and just keep moving forward.


Edited to add: OMG I had no idea that Mal had left that comment.. that's weird. heh.
 
Thanks for the support everyone!

Tomorrow I will be on track again - will be so busy that I won't even have time to think about eating!
 
Hey,

Just reading thru diaries and noticed yours. Sounds like you've come a long way already, according to your ticker. Your food and exercise sound great. How do you like your PT? I currently have one too. I've had him for almost a year and he has taught me so much and made me do things physically I never thought I could do.

Well, I guess I will see ya around on here.

Take Care,
-Sam:)
 
Ech... bad week. I've gone and done it again!

Have to update my ticker at some point... I think I will "forget" for now! Or at least get it back to a respectable number first. I think I will start to update every Monday - rain or shine, so to speak!
 
Hey natureboy,

Thanks for stopping by my diary as well :)

I currently see my trainer twice per week too. I am getting ready to cut it down to just one time per week tho. I wish I could see him as much as I wanted, whenever I wanted.... It is kind of expensive. I am grateful for everything I have learned from him and he is also a good friend now.

Getting to the gym and working out isn't usually my problem. It's the whole "keeping my diet clean" part of it. I like to workout really hard but also eat how I want, so naturally I haven't lost as much weight as I had wanted to by now. It's okay, I'm still a million miles away from where I was about this time last year, and that makes me feel good.

Sorry about your bad week. I'm right there with ya. It seems like I can do really good for about 3-4 days, and then I go blow it somehow.... It's a constant struggle. Today's a new day tho, right??? :)

Thanks for the Ray Liotta comment, hehe. I will take it. People typically tell me I look like Quentin Tarantino, or his little brother, or even Matthew Perry.... I dunno, lol.

Have a great day

-Sam
 
Ok, so I've eaten better for the last couple of days - its a start - at least I will be back below 150 for the next weigh-in - as long as I maintain.

Sammyboy - ps - do you find that you feel much better when you are eating well, or is it more the exercise - for me - while I do feel better when eating well - its not as much as I would have thought. It is more the exercise that makes me feel good.

In fact, overall, I think back when I weighed my highest vs. now - while I definitely feel better - I think most of the upside is in a improved mental attitude (which I intend to acquire at some point!) sort of the same thing as weight loss - to me its about 75% diet 25% exercise - though you need both to get anywhere fast.

Am visiting my parents for the next few days. Every time I go there I overeat, so I've got not to do that this time. One cool thing is that I found a place to go to boxing classes there so hopefully that will give me some focus rather than sitting and eating, esp. at night.

Hey natureboy,

Hope you were able to not overeat at your parents' house. I can totally relate. I seem to always overeat when I'm around my dad or family for some reason. I wonder if it's some deep subconcious reason, lol, or if it's just the fact that I pig out sometimes...

Hope all is well and the workouts are going nicely:coolgleamA:

Thanks Sam - unfortunately that is not how it turned out. The weather was bad so there was a lot of staying inside and a lot of eating. Where I normally live, I live alone so it is easy for me to control what is in the house however not so with the parents. I weighed myself this morning - 156.2! Yikes. Updating the ticker hurt a bit, I must say.

Its not as bad as 156.2 really, I'm sure a couple of pounds at least is water etc. but having been in the mid 140s a few weeks ago it sort of sucks... Why do we do this to ourselves? Yeesh.

At least I know how to take off the weight relatively easily now - just got to stop putting back on!
