Work it out Girl!

Don't let one day of not so good eating get you down. You are on the right track. We are all cheering for you.

Miss binge decided to pay me a visit last night and I knew how to avoid her but for some reason I thought I had the will power to fight her. WRONG>
So i went to the commissary with some of my associates. They had vo5 conditioner for 25 cents i was in heaven I love that stuff for co-washing:) yes i am a conditioner junkie. So I avoided all the food. I told myself I would eat on the base since it is free for me since I am working on post. We get to the chips aisle and I stood there too long. So i pick up a bag of nachos and a jar of chesse. I went back to my room, changed into my gym clothing, decided to go eat dinner first cause i did not feel to motivated. They had nothing without meat so I opted for a salad. I ate it felt fine but once i got back into my room i decided to eat some chips and i ate and ate. I ate the whole damn jar of cheese and most of the chips. I am going to throw those chips out and never go down that damn section with other people again. I am fine on my own for some reason.Long story shor the binge made me sleepy and tired so I took a nap and here I am at 4:46 am waking up:smilielol5:
Not to self not more snacks. I missed my 30 day shred and my run. I plan on hitting the gym at 6 am.
I am going to eat a bowl of oatmeal,a banana and a yogurt for breakfast.

Ohhh man. If we all followed our own direction and actually FOUGHT the binges, there would be no such word :) I had a big ole binge today. Uggh. Felt pretty gross afterwards... Just gotta use it!
25cent conditioner?! Umm, yeah. I woulda bought a billion bottles... My hair is NOT manageable without tons of it, so I'm always stocked up :D
Keep up the great workouts! I'm super jealous of em. Theres no way I could get outta bed that early for the gym. Yikes.
 
I have been really wrapped up in my studies and work so I have not been on this site. I have not lost a lot of weight but I do think that I look a bit leaner. I wish I could just give up eating treats. I hate that I feel as though I have to have something sweet each day.
I have not been working out because of lack of time by I will start again once I am finished with working june 11. I could go to the gym here on the base but I just feel really in comfy in that gym. I might start doing the shred video again. I just got really bored with it.
 
When I went home this weekend I was between 173 and 174 i was so happy. I am hoping I reach 170 for the end of this week. I thought I would still be 177!
I think this working thing might work out well.I can not wait until I go to Boston Next month. Unlike most people when I go on vacation I tend to lose weight because I have nothing better to do than walk around all day. I hit every mall and do not get hungry or think about food until I am finished shopping.
I have slacked on exercise but I actually feel better for now. I do need to drink more water.I notice whenever I increase my water intake my stomach appears to be flatter. I guess it washes all the junk out.So after this week I am aiming for 2 pounds a week. Well that was my goal before but....yeah.... I guess a i am more focused now. I really want to look hot when I go back home!
 
As good as I was doing I have messed it all up within the last 3 weeks. My Husband and I had a huge fight and I started to stress out. Food has always been my coping mechanism and I stopped working out, over ate thousands of calories a day and gained all the weight I worked so hard to lose back. I am hating myself for it. Its appears to me being on the army base and having access to the american food was also a BAD thing for me. I also ate at the mess hall thinking it was the best choice boy was I wrong just some potatoes had about 500 calories because of how they prepare it. It think that food is definitely for those who work out HARD not reservist. SO the combination of stress, access to bad foods and not working out helped me to get back to about 182 pounds:(
I am so sad because I am suppose to fly home next week and I wanted to look good. You know I was always the thin one growing up, always the skinny one who could not gain weight if she tried. Now I get to go back to my hometown looking like this. Its all my fault, I know but why do I do this to myself:( I will try to get back on track since I am leaving the base today. If I do come back for longer increments I will go to the commissary and my own items such as salads and such to avoid going to the mess hall.
It is the worst feeling to work so hard and now have to work double hard to get back to where I once was:(

HI Rimay,
I hear you. Don't beat yourself up too much, we are all human and we do the best we can.
I am sure you are going to be back to 173-174 in no time. Give yourself a little time and think positive!!
 
Rimay, just read through your diary, and wanted to tell you, YOU are NOT ALONE! Many of us are going through the same things. I know you gained your weight back and you are highly disappointed in yourself, but hey, you know what it takes to get the weight off, so now you can use those tools to do it again, make it a habit and stay consistent. Stress is a woman's worst enemy. Just begin to slowly pick up where you left off. You can do.
 
:( sorry to hear about the stress and gain... I did the same thing. Stupid. why do we do it to ourselves?! Hope things are better for ya!
 
I have lost 5 pounds since my last post. The stress has no gotten any better and the reality is my marriage is over!I have been dealing with a lot and finally realized this relationship is at a dead end. I know it is the main contributing factor to my weight. While I was in Boston I was hardly hungry. I laughed, I was happy! I come back and its like a sad cloud followed my from the airport to my house and rains on my all day.
For anyone who wants to marry someone from a different country, culture, language DONT!!!LOL well follow your heart but maintain YOUR LIFE! I say so because now that i have lived his life in this foreign country now I have nothing!!!
Okay back to weight loss. I am on a mission. I did 35 minutes of WII sport today. I was rather fun. I also walked for about 3 hours with my kids in 90 degree weather talk about tired. I did binge today after my husband told me he found a new place and asked when I am leaving. It was not too bad but it was bad.
Todays food.
A veggie burger from mcdonald and yogurt-this is when I was fine
I then ate 6 inch italian blt sub from subway 1 chocolate chip cookie
1 chicken thigh from popeyes and a burger king chocolate pie.
DO you notice the fast food!!!
My kids are home for one more week which is this week then they go back to preschool so I will try to get back into the gym.
 
I did not do that well yesterday. Well actually I ate no fast food but I ate more than enough servings of tuna that I made and 2 servings of spaghetti with tomato sauce.
I am trying to stay on track for the weekend. I feel so bad that I just do not want to do a dvd to exercise or anything else. I will start going to the gym on monday though. The kids will be back in school and i will have the time to do it.
On a positive note I have only been drinking water:) between 1.5 liter to 3 liters a day!!
 
I told myself I would wake up this morning and work out so here I am. I want running and it felt awesome. It has been a while since I put the old running shoes on. The weather was perfect not hot but not cold just cold and mild with the smell of rain in the air. I ran 5.32 kilometer even though I put the wrong nike+ chip on my ipod and I could not track my run. I just mapped it when I got home and was surprised. I did little ab workout in the park and some fartleks work.
Todays weight is 175 I am so surprised and happy. I will try my best to stay motivated now. I do not want to regain and have to start from the bottom again.
I think this will be my hobby since dh and I are splitting up I need something to transfer my energy into:)
 
Sundays are my rest days so I did not work out yesterday. I did come up with some guidelines though,I really need order in order to follow through with my plan.
1. No eating after 7 pm!!!!!This will prevent me from eating excessive calories
2. minumum One salad a day!!!!can be in my sandwich or ate alone!
3. veggie with every meal- this will keep me eating healthy salads count.
4. 1 cardio excercise in excess of 30 minutes daily except Sundays!
5. 3 liter of water minimum; nothing else but tea!
6. no fast food for the month of august
7. take vitamins
Seems easy enough no extreme bans. I think the no eating after 7pm will be my savior.
oh I will add another.
8. No eating anywhere but around the kitchen table.
I tend to eat all around the house which turns into mindless eating. That way if I do not want to sit around the table i must not be hungry:)
Today I plan on 1 hour yoga and 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Wish me luck. I wanted to go run this morning but it was pouring... then it stopped i got dressed then it started again so i decided the gym it i will be.
 
So I did well with all of the above goals except for the working out. I just do not have the want to do it and its like pulling teeth. Trying to do the videos only last about 10 minutes then I am bored and turn it off. I think things wont be better until I am out of the house with my partner!
I am stilling losing though! I only had 1 binge attach when he called me and ruined my mood but I bounced back without a problem.
I am currently at 177 but thats because of my monthly. I have noticed that my stomach is stay pretty flat well not completely but not at bulgey as it use to be. I am expecting to get down to 175 by next week!
On another positive note a pair of jeans that I wore not even 1 month ago that was tight is loose. I am so happy about that. I usually notice that before the scale.
I am going to be working for the army until i leave at the end of year so I will look to not make the same mistakes i made last time I was there with over eating and actually using the gym.
 
YAY for loose pants! I've let myself get reallly bad lately, so I don't have a lotta loose pants. Eesh. As for a mostly non-bulgey stomach: JEALOUS. to the max, seriously. I cannot WAIT to have that, lol. Hope things are still working out for ya, ya haven't been on in a few days :)
 
Hey Jess I am still around just always forget to log in here(if only this was attached to facebook-lol). I am doing better. I actually worked out more this week so I am feeling good. I am now down to 175 and hope to hopefully get into the 160's this month. I am not as hungry and the no eating after 7 pm thing has helped me significantly.
I need to up my water game. I was doing so well then I fell off but its Sunday so time to get back on the ball.
I did level on of 30 day shred but lost focus in the last few minutes-lol I swear I have add with videos now.
I plan on going to the gym to do yoga tomorrow morning because my body needs a nice stretch. So, hoping to lose 2 pounds by next week which would bring me down to 173:)
 
Okay today I am down to 174. I think I will make my 173 goal this week. I am doing well with the eating. I have had a few things that I should have just let pass but I am not overindulging like I use to. I am doing yogurt and muesli in the morning and that is keeping me full. I wish I would have done that before. It does not taste delicious like lets say something not good for you but it taste good enough to finish and not want to eat anything else. I am going back on my vegetarian thing for the rest of the year. I no longer have to cook for anyone but myself so this will be easy. Lots of fruits, veggies and low calorie meals. I am going to be at the army base so thats tuff
 
Yay for another lb! :) This weeks goal is already at your fingertips. Vegetarian for the rest of the year?! I wish I had that strength. I love meat. lol. Have a great day!
 
Just wanted to drop in and say good luck! vegetarian seems tough... i also love my meat. i'm interested to see how that affects your weight!
 
Thanks for stopping by guys. If you were to search my previous journals you would see i followed a vegetarian diet before and the pounds seemed to melt off. My issue with meat has been a big one.I tend to make bad choices when I eat it, especially when going out to eat. When I eliminate it I basically eliminate fast food from my diet and lot of processed items and it picks up my mood and metabolism somehow.I just feel as though it drains me. Well its been about 3 days since I last ate meat and I feel fine. No cravings at all. I am proud to announce I have hit 173.5 today. Totally excited. I know it might go back up tomorrow but who cares. I am enjoying it today.
I look forward to starting the new year without my toxic husband and my overweight body.I am now entering the highest side of what could be considered a normal bmi.
I am about to have breakfast right now which will be yogurt and muesli with a cup of black coffee. I have not decided what lunch will be but I was leaning towards a nice tossed salad might need to get some beans for protein. I am doing good with remembering to take my vitamins.So all I need to work on today will be getting a workout in and my water intake. So happy to finally see some change!!!
