calories:2730 (+1130)

accomplishments: learned that the panera chicken strawberry poppyseed salad has but 290 calories  Fought off 2 additional binge urges as i’m writing this.

Areas to improve:  relaxing, eating, working out.  Come up with more of a plan.  I know that you’re tired at the end of the day, and work can be unpredictable, but some kind of plan and set goals for working out and eating would be helpful.

inspiration:  the moments when you are experiencing the urge to overeat are when you make the most important decisions.  That is the time to make the decision.  that is the important time, the important decision.  the deciding moment.  the make or break.

feel: achey.

calories: 2760 (+1160)

accomplishments:  well, i squeezed in a few balance ball exercises.  i had a healthy breakfast, snack and lunch. i maintained a positive attitude at work.  i drank green tea in place of coffee.  I did some hard thinking about how overeating holds me down in life.  About how i will not, simply will not succeed in finishing school and changing carreers if i am not healthy in body, mind, and spirit.

areas to improve:  eating.  granted i did not technically eat out, but i picked up fast food and brought it home. If i can only imagine what it would be like if the object of my binjing desire was not available or simply did not exist.  then choose that route. Come home and relax before moving forward with the rest of my evening, plan out exercise regimines.

feel: stuffed

inspirations: my friend teresa, the marathoner.  watching her do her workout routines and seeing her dedication and healthy lifestyle.  seeing how see aims to improve her diet.  all revolving around her marathoning.

accomplishments: did not go out to eat.  did not eat anything sweet.  did some exercises on the balance ball. Stayed in a pretty good mood all day. came home after work. did my pm chores.

areas to improve on:  set limits for computer time.  Relax after work. really relax.  clear and calm mind and body.  do a more structured workout routine plus cardio.  think about what you would like to do and do things that are meaningful to you

feel: tired

weight: 182

calories: 3290 (+1690)

accomplishments:  well, i blew up my balance ball and did a few exercises.  i woke up in a fairly good mood. i have some resolve sparked back up this evening and a plan to use a diary to help plan my day better so that i live according to the things that i love.  hopefully to cut down on wasting time with things that are meaningless to me.  had organic trail mix as a snack instead of something processed.

areas to improve:  overeating.  was ok until the trail mix.  there’s that snacking urge immediatley after finishing a meal again.  i think i will quit with the eating out after work for a while. i think i would be more relaxed coming home at the end of the day and accomplish more goals at home that way. i’ll stop at the grocery and get fresh veggies/ fruits and a can of annies ravioli instead.  with the main goal being to eat at home rather than out.

I have good intentions, but my days tend to repeat themselves.  so i need to come up with a system to keep me on track so i can instill some new habits and make lasting changes.

feel:  bloated.
