December 31, 2008:
Caloric Intake: 1,692 (three calories over recommended daily value) Exercise: Stretches Walking/lifting (I have to get away from the sweets, they are whats killing me; other than that I am doing relatively well in my eating habits. Anyone have suggestions on how to curb my sweet tooth?) |
December 31st was a total mish-mash of eating in little spurts here or there (except for lunch), but I'm sure I was under 1400 calories.
After writing this, I'm going to fix myself some lunch (argh. Slept in by accident) and then I'm sitting down to write my work out schedule and some sort of meal plan for these next few days. (Maybe for next week too! I'll see how far I get). Happy New Year!! |
Tuesday, Dec 30th:
Daily Goals: 0/50 Lunges 0/100 Crunches 225/100 Bicep Curls 0/1 Walk (30min) 0/1 HHA dvd(30min) ------------------------------------------ Total Caloric Intake: 1063 ------------------------------------------ Wednsday, Dec 31th: Daily Goals: 0/50 Lunges 0/100 Crunches 0/100 Bicep Curls 1/1 Walk (30min) 0/1 HHA dvd(30min) ------------------------------------------ Total Caloric Intake: 1059 ------------------------------------------ I've been eating fairly well.. somehow managing lots of fruit & veggies, as well as protein. My one downfall is often having just a little too much fat in my diet, and part of that is because I have such a sweet tooth. There's a BUNCH of chocolate left over from Christmas scattered around the house, & I'm fighting not to eat it all. I like to have a little sweet every day, and I really need to stop doing that as it will get me nowhere except places I've already been. One of my new years goals is to eat much less sweets than I do. Oh, btw, I joined that G2009 thread in the Chicks up for a Challenge forum. It seems like a great way to stay on track and push myself. =] You guys should seriously try out a similar thread, I think it will be most helpful. |
I looked at the thread, but I'm not sure I want to sign up with the first challenge. Even when it goes up, I like to see what I weigh....so I don't like the idea of putting away my scale.
Urthwurm: We have to remember our HHA this Sunday! I'm off of work, so I've got plans to hit the gym that day too. Workout Schedule for now: (I'd like to try and add in workout DVD's, and have set days for the gym. Haven't picked those yet) Thursday, Jan. 1st 25/25 knee push-ups 25/25 crunches 25/25 bicep curls |

Hey now! Where are my buddies? :) How are y'all doing towards the end of your week?
I am pretty darn proud of myself. Today at lunch I was at chuck e. cheese.... and that pizza looked *so* good. I ate at the salad bar instead, though I did eat the crust of pizza from two slices. Any idea about the calories in the crust of pizza? (it wasn't stuffed crust, just normal crust).

Haven't checked in for a day or so for a few reasons: TOM just hit me. Hard! Cramps like I've never had & nausea.. I've also been really busy with work the last few days, it feels like I just wake up to go straight to Blockbuster, to come home & crash. I'm attempting the 6 weeks of no scale, but it's a bit challenging for me not being able to see what my weight is doing in regards to what I am, especially so early on in my weight loss... I don't really know how my body reacts to certain foods & exercises, etc. I think I had a bad dream that I'd gained all my weight back, I'm pretty afraid to cheat & check though. Heh.. :D
Uhm.. I've been exercising a little bit but I can't recall everything I've done. Yoga once or twice, weights, some crunches and squats. Not a whole lot, but a little. =] Trying out Jillian Michael's 30DS. We'll see how it goes whenever I get started, lol. |
Urthwurm: Sorry it's TOM for you. :( Hope you feel better soon!
I didn't go to the gym today. *rolls eyes* so annoyed with myself for that. The weather was perfect for staying in bed and just lounging around the house, you know? Am going to go do an exercise DVD right now though. How are things going misspiggy? (Have we lost aware210?) Sunday, Jan. 4th Breakfast nothing Morning Snack 2 tbsp peanut butter 190 cal Lunch Peanut butter & jelly sandwich: 2 tbsp peanut butter 190 cal 1 tbsp jelly 50 cal 2 slices honey wheat bread 120 cal Afternoon Snack 1 string cheese 80 cal coke 140 cal Dinner Lasagna 350 cal broccoli 31 cal Evening Snack 1 apple 80 cal Total Calories 1231 Sunday, Jan. 4th 0/30 minutes elliptical (maybe longer, we'll see) 1/1 HHA DVD (30 min) |
Ballerina, thanks! I hope it ends quickly this time around. Don't feel annoyed for not going to the gym, just go kick some butt doing one of your vids. =] Make up for those mistakes by taking measures to correct them! We really need to go shopping today, were out of bread, lunch meat, fruit.. there's pretty much a limited supply of food left. I need to grocery shop, but it's been snowing on & off again now. Not sticking ATM, thankfully, because we had a good foot or two just a week ago!! I hope that doesn't start up again. =[ We'll see if we're able to drive tonight, or if it'll have to wait..

Happy New Year everyone!!

Woo hoo! Got on the scale this morning and I'm 155 (last Monday I was 155.8, so it isn't a huge loss, but I'll take it!) :)
Urthwurm: I don't know if you've tried them, but I am a big fan of icy/hot patches. I wear them when I have cramps and I still have work. (If I'm home with them, I just curl up with my heating pad). Monday, Jan. 5th Breakfast 2 small apples 100 cal Morning Snack 1 slice pizza 330 cal Lunch 1 turkey frank 70 cal 100 cal snack- popcorn 100 cal Afternoon Snack 1 cheese serving 80 cal Dinner peas 55 cal red beans and rice 190 cal (only I don't eat the beans...just rice and the gravy) Evening Snack 3 carrots 50 cal small apple 50 cal extra splurge: smart ones chocolate cake 220 cal Total Calories 1245 Exercise walk (pushing a double stroller) 20 min |
I'm here! Sorry! The cable i plug into my hubby's laptop for internet is broke, so I have to hold it in place to connect! LOL So i wasn't on all weekend. AND i just had everything i ate over the weekend typed out for you guys to see, but i hit the back button and it all disappeared! :( Darn! But basically I didn't eat much over the weekend because we ALL had the stomach flu. (hubby and kids) I weighed myself, and because I didn't eat much I dropped back down to 155lbs. It sucks my loss had to be like that, though ...
Today is actually like my "january 1st" - so i've been on track, already got my workout in, and am eating within my points range so far! I am really determined to do this, this time. So much that i decided to give up the alcohol for a while ... no beers/cocktails for me! That's cool though, it will save me the WW points! UrthWurm: Now I know what TOM means (LOL) Thanks, I couldn't figure out what it meant for the life of me! QuietBallerina: Congrats on your loss! A loss is a loss, big or small! :) |
