sun Nope, I was naughty and had two bread rolls. They were the mini type, but still. Three hours is quite far away! Hope you manage to get your run in!
~I am SO annoyed. I thought that my Saturday night maybe hadn't ruined things so much since yesterday morning I weighed in at 63.6, which is the same as Sat and Fri...but this morning I weighed 64.9kg!!! WHAT. I know it's probably some sodium, but part of me is worried it's actual weight due to my hugely calorific Saturday. Urgh. I also can't run today because I have a waxing appointment after work and it's really uncomfortable to run straight after haha. I should have gone before work but I'm not great in the dark. I'm so tired today, I stayed up too late reading and re-reading and starting to fill out Canada forms. I can't believe how stressed out I am over some forms! |
sun- Broccoli and kale are some of my favorite veggies. Did you put anything else in it? I may have to try that out myself. :)
Rie- A chart sounds great. :) The place you went to have drinks sounds like fun as well. Rainbow- Hope you're feeling better now. :) I'm sure the weight will come off with no problems, just keep on working hard. ----- The prodigal Namaste returns. I have had some interesting things happen in the past few weeks, went to see a doctor about my illness (anxiety and loss of appetite, which isn't as nice as it sounds) and I was diagnosed with ADHD and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My doctor put me on some meds and I am doing a lot better. I do still have some issues with my weight though, and I'm glad to be back and hope to stay a little longer this time. I have had a pretty good day with my weight thus far. I ate a lot this morning (Clif Bars are so good but for some reason I have to have more than one) so I am trying some different options for breakfast so I am nice and full and don't come back for seconds and thirds. I ate good the rest of the day, I halved a TV dinner so it was 200 calories instead of 400, and I did the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD. I was surprised that my endurance level is better, and I'm doing the Maximum results program over six weeks. I have managed to stay around 224-226 but I'm trying to lose some more, obviously. I don't have any particular diet in mind but I may consider trying Weight Watchers again. I have had success with it in the past and the people at the meetings are really nice. I am still in the Biggest Winner competition, I don't think I'm winning the contest but I have lost six pounds. :) Anyhoo, I hope all of you have a good evening. Talk to you soon. |
rainbow! awww you are having a hard day. hugs. forms are stressful. DRink tons and tons of water. You can't so much from just one day of indulgence. keep at it sweets.
So I did get my run in! It felt amazing! I cannot live without this high anymore. haha It might take some feet dragging to get there but I love it after! I don't know what I am going to eat for dinner. I am not finding anything appetizing right now. ugh. and my house is a mess and I feel too lazy to clean it but hubby is coming home from work and I like it to be atleast decent for him. guess will have to get off my ***.lol |
namaste welcome back! I added a bit of butter and parmesan(all within my calories) was delish. Good luck with your meds. Hope they help. Keep going!
|
namaste Welcome back! It must be a bit of a relief in a way to know what's up and have medication that's helping? Sounds like you're making some good decisions with food. I wish we had Clif bars here, I hear they're good!
sun That euphoric running high is so good, right? I love when I'm in the last 100 metres of my run, because I always come along the same stretch of road and I just feel SO GOOD about whatever run I've completed, just this amazing sense of achievement haha, even if it's only 4k! Hope you found something good for dinner - I'm also feeling a bit blah about what to cook, I went food shopping before and just bought a ton of chicken because it's what the boyfriend likes and I can't be bothered thinking too much this week. ~I am so useless with water this past week! It's 3.30pm and I have had ZERO water. WTF. I am going to pour myself a BIG glass right now because I am feeling a little headachy and tired, and of course lack of water is totally the culprit! As I said to sun, I bought a bunch of chicken but I still don't really know what I'm going to do with it. |
ummmmm I didn't make the best choice for dinner....a bowl of ice cream. Atleast I was within my calories....oh well.
|
sun: yeah, i'll keep them until they fit. i'm not one to return stuff anyways :p well done on the wedding and the food though!
rainbow: haha, well that is usually what we do. watch movies and eat... yeah, the sizing IS weird for the clothes cuz they're meant for japanese bodies... but what baffles me though is the non-stretchy jeggings... i think they are misunderstanding the concept of jeggings being a cross between jeans and leggings... :/ they're SUPPOSED to stretch. lol. oh well. well, if you had a good time out, don't beat yourself up! you just start out fresh again the next day! god knows i was pretty bad food-wise yesterday as well... aww... i'm sorry that you saw the random weight increase a day later!! i've had that happen to me and it sucks!! like, why the delay?? hang in there, it'll go back down if you're good ;) and wtf about your water woman?! i'm crap with it too but you shoulda had some at least by 3:30!! lol. a trick is to have a glass (or at least a few sip) when you wake up in the morning. helps with everything, you know? i'm taking vitamins now so that helps me drink my water too, and makes sure i have a glass in the morning and one when i go to bed. try it! :p Rie: sounds like you did pretty good at the izakayas! well done! :) yeah, i know it ended up being quite nice so we could totally have gone to watch the sakura, but whatever. we still ended up having a nice time. did you go? how was it? yeah, i'd ordered from that store before, and been pleased, which is why it was so disapointing this time around. they want me to "write a review" now, but my japanese is too **** to ***** at them properly, haha... as for the soda issue... i know... i always say that i don't really care because i'm drinking diet soda, not full fat soda, but you know... we'll see. namaste: hey you! where ya been? ;) sorry to hear you've had some doctor issues... but seems like things are back in order? well done on not gaining and good luck for continuing the weightloss! we're here for you! Hey guys! so here i am, monday morning, 1kilo heavier than yesterday!! lol. I'm not surprised, honestly, but it still sucks. last night we basically had dinner super late, and i was already not hungry from snacks during the movie and only managed a few spoonfulls before my stomach felt like it was gonna burst. lol. but i'm starting the story backwards. So in the end we'd decided on just our usual chilling at my place, watching movies and stuffing ourselves date, but then he showed up at lunch time and was like "i have to meet this guy in Ikebukuro at 3pm" and i was like "whaaaaat?!?! why didn't you tell me?? but turns out he was just going and coming back for like an hour... but still. lol. silly boy... anyways, we had lunch in a "healthy" cafe, where i had super delicious "taco rice", and didn't finish it, and the i was a little bit less good when i had two scoops of ice cream at BaskinRobins31... eheh... after that i was gonna go with him to Ikebukuro and wait in a cafe but ended up deciding to stay in Shinjuku instead cuz we wanted to check out the English bookstore when he came back. Shinjuku is very dangerous for me cuz it's my favorite place to shop... haha. and shop i did. see, recently, i've been very upset about my boobs shrinking. they shrunk a lot. i've always been either a DD or a D, and i've got bras in both sizes and now even my "small" bras are kinda big, so i've been suspecting i became a C, (and it kinda makes me wanna cry... lol. i've always had big boobs, C is small for me. lol) so anyways, while i was killing time i decided to go in a japanese lingerie shop and try on some bras and i found one that fit! in the ridiculously-sized j-lingerie stores!! i am a japanese size G now! lol (which i suspect is pretty much a big C :p ) it's still not "regular size" here, which means i still can't wear most of the models they have on, but i was pretty happy, cuz it's a really cute bra and it makes my boobies look all cute and round and perky (which they're not... haha) anyways, sorry it was a long story, but i'm happy about my new bra! then i met the bf back in a cafe and we went to the bookstore and went back home. we weren't hungry enough for dinner so we just bought some snacks (avocado and chips to make guacamole) and wine, and rented the Rurouni Kenshin movie (any geeks out there?) which i fell asleep on cuz of wine and the lack on understanding part... lol. this is the second time we rent a japanese movie and second time i fall asleep on it... coincidence? so anyways like i said before i was feeling so grossely full after dinner, but i don't really understand cuz when i tally back my food for the day, it really wasn't that much... :/ i hope this cheat day gain goes away quickly!! lol. |
Sun- That sounds great! I will definitely give it a try once I can get out of the house again. Though my fiancé is going to class in the morning so I'm sure the snow will be cleared out by mid-afternoon. :-)
Rainbow- Water will clear your headache up I'm sure. Yes it's much better to know the diagnosis, I just kind of wish my family were more supportive. --- Just thought I'd check in before going to sleep. My mom is not really down with paying for my WW or my psychiatrist so I'm going to start looking for a job. It's kind of a complicated situation, I live with my parents right now. What started out as a temporary situation has gone on four years too long. I am going to school part time but my parents get their drawers in a bunch when I mention looking for a job. Ironically, they don't want me to get money from them and I'm sometimes employed by them to take care of my sister, who is disabled. Even then though, they promise to pay me but they either decide not to do so or do it kicking and screaming. Either way, a part time job with enough income may give me enough leverage to move out on my own and not have to deal with this business for too much longer. Sorry for the essay, lol. I guess I'll hit the hay for now and be back tomorrow. Have a good night all. :-) |
namste good luck finding a job. things like living with patents and caring for a special needs family members definitely makes things harder but you can do it! my daughter is special needs as well. so i know what you mean!

Happy Monday!
Yesterday I had a nice day walking around a park with the boyfriend looking at the beaaauutiful cherry blossom trees. We waited until it got a bit darker since the park had lanterns so it looked really pretty. Food wasn't terrible but could have been a lot better yesterday. I had vegetable curry leftovers then we decided to get ramen. I remember a while ago loving ramen, but when I ate it yesterday it just felt like too much. It's really oily and I think my body was just yelling "no, no, no!" So I think I might avoid ramen for a while. Today I'm going to start my workout grid! I've not exercised all week but have maintained my weight probably due to the healthier eating habits I've introduced. So hopefully the exercise will kick start my weight loss again. That's why I'm here after all! But I felt like I had to spend a while appreciating home cooked food and healthy options then slowly introduce working out. Usually I do everything at once and crash and burn! So hopefully this tactic works out in the long run. It's currently Day 8 without soda, yesterday I felt really sluggish. I think that's my body experiencing the sugar crash. It's so strange, but even seeing that red and white cola logo really makes me crave it! But I have resisted the cravings. Wednesday is the boyfriends birthday and we're going to a burger place. It'll be my biggest challenge yet since I ALWAYS have a coke with a burger. Fingers crossed I can resist! I really don't want to break the no soda streak! rainbow - I love running because everyone does it differently but it seems everyone experiences it the same way. There's such a pride that follows a run! Sounds like your weight is probably because of sodium. I know how much I suck at drinking water. I will always advise people to drink more water but I should really follow my own advice! I'm going to try and drink a glass of water every 3 hours, so hopefully by the time I go to sleep I'll have drank at least 3 pints! As soon as you think about water, then just go ahead and drink it!! I just did the same... sun - I'm glad you're getting into running! It took me a while to start appreciating it, and it always takes me forever to get up and do it but I never regret it when I'm done! Eep on the bowl of ice cream! You know it's not the right choice so stay focused and eat something nutritious to fill that calorie limit! namaste - You should definitely get a job! That's a great idea! I'm really not sure why your parents would stop you?! But having your own money is important and things can get complicated if it's coming from your parents. As you know I'm sure. As for diets and the such, just eat clean! I always like to go by if the food that you buy expires in more than 7 days (with exceptions) then it's not good for you!! The calories might be ok but the ingredients might stop you losing weight. kawaii - I did end up going! It didn't rain, it was cloudy, but it was fine! Lots of people were having their picnics, it was a really good vibe. And the trees are so beautiful! Couldn't quite capture it on camera. Diet soda is still soda unfortunately...and soda is flat out bad for you! It's a hard fact to face when you love it so much (I know that too well) but it's for the best to cut it out full stop. I'm on day 8 now! Despite you having bad food days, sounds like you had a great time! Wow, I can't even contemplate fitting into any Japanese bras. So congratulations! Don't worry about your boobs shrinking, I doubt you'll be flat chested by the time you reach your goal! I really want my boobles to shrink!! |
Kawaii Yay new bra, I am so boring with bras but I feel you on the shrinking boobage... for some reason my D cup bras still fit well but I take it off and all I see are deflated sacks, they seriously look like what I think a B cup must look like but I still have to buy a damn D cup! My boyfriend even said the other day when I was getting changed that just in the last few weeks my boobs seem to be getting smaller...awwww. Dumb. Sounds like you had fun with your bf. I almost always fall asleep in DVDs, which is a pain hah. Or we'll have to stop half way so I can go to bed. Um, taco rice sounds AMAZING. And yeah, I know I'm ridiculous with the water. There was a period of time there, and it's so long that I'm embarrassed, where I'd unintentionally just go days and days on end without drinking anything at all other than my tiny daily coffee - wtf! It's a miracle I didn't pass out from dehydration!
namaste Sorry to hear about your situation, that does sound tough. I know what it's like to rely on your parents for money, and even if you're earning it from them, it's never a fun place to be in. Maybe a part time job would be a good booster for you all round? Riestrella Cherry blossoms sound amazing, that's definitely one thing on my list to see! Congrats on going so long without soda, did you normally drink the full sugar ones? Also re the ramen...we only have a couple of authentic ramen places here, and I'm not trying to talk you into eating more of it, but maybe some places are oilier/heavier than others? There is one place here that is really good but super oily and I have felt pretty sick after going there - not from poor cooking, but just from the richness! Too bad as well, as my boyfriend loves it. I did what you suggested re water a few weeks back, I was doing really well, first thing I'd do when I got to work was pour myself a glass and make sure I had 2 full glasses by lunch and another two after - I just have to keep reminding myself! I want to get a cute water bottle because I'm so clumsy, I've spilt water all over my desk on numerous occasions haha! ~So no run for me today, but I'm done eating for the day at just over 1300 calories so I think that's not too bad. I'm trying to stop thinking just for tonight - I've been working myself up too much recently stressing over little things that I can't control right now, and I need to stop! I'm going to watch some Vampire Diaries and get an early night. Hopefully weight is down, even slightly, in the morning! |
Sooo today a package came from home and it was an Easter package...filled with English chocolate. I also got 4 bags of my favourite crisps (chips that are in smaller packs than the US!) and I've already eaten one chocolate bar and 1 bag of crisps. Eeep! Total healthy eating malfunction! But it's a gift from home, I'm not going to throw it away I'm going to ration it the best I can. Only one portion of chocolate at a time I say! I have a bad habit on grazing on chocolate so this is yet another challenge that I will have to try hard to maintain!
Does anyone know any good youtube Yoga lessons? I remember finding one that was really good but it appears to be taken down, I could find it easily the last time I tried Yoga but this time it wasn't to be seen. Quote:
Definitely relax and don't stress over the things you can't control! I know it's easier said than done, but worrying never fixes anything! |
kawaii I love new bras! yay I can't wait to get to the 150s so I can buy a smaller size. I hate being a dd. blurg. Sounds like you had fun with the bf :)
riestrella Good on you for no soda! That is hard for me,I drink diet coke. I to feel like certain meals need soda. Stupid conditioning. I know I shouldn;t have eaten the ice cream :( Bad Sun. No more! Let us know how your exercise goes. Also really ration your goodies! I have the same thing going when my mom sends plantain chips from India. Ihave to put them in little 100 calorie baggies so I wont just munch then all down. rainbow Hope you get a nice relaxing evening. Hhehe vampire diaries. Thats a good show to zone out on. Do you have a smart phone?> There are drinking water apps to remind you to drink, That might help. I will never stop running now :) Have to keep going to get that high and see my fat melt off. I feel like my body is changing. I see more definition and it makes me happy. I am losing inches so that is good. Although I would love to see lbs going more quickly. I will take what I can get I guess. Down to 173. Hopefully 172 next monday or if I am lucky 171! haha |
Rie- Yup, sounds like the best plan. I've applied to three jobs today, and will keep going at that pace until I get an interview. Thankfully I have a pretty good resume and can look for a variety of things. Eating clean is a good idea, much cheaper than shelling out 18 dollars a month for membership in WW. I'll do some looking into that as well as some good recipes. :)
Rainbow- Yeah, that's kind of what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find a job in healthcare while I'm going to school to earn my RHIT creds. It will give me an idea of what to expect. :) A lot of people scan medical records or work in health data entry and filing while they're in school so I guess I'll be joining the ranks if I can find something good. Kawaii- Hey girly, good to see you. :) Yup, things are resolved for now as long as I can keep paying for everything. New bras sound awesome, I'll be looking forward to being able to shop in regular shops for my bras. :) I am a DD and larger in a strapless bra, and it's hard to find bras sometimes. ----- It's good to see you all again this afternoon. I have been doing at least marginally better on my morning eating, which I figure is a start. I think I'll gradually get better as time goes on. Apparently this month is national craft month and today is national craft day, and the home shopping channels have been showing all kinds of fun crafting things. I have been watching and keep having to sit on my hands cause there's all kinds of fun stuff and I want to order it all, lol. Still, I have been getting all kinds of fun ideas for my jewelry and paper craft projects. And if I get any done today, I will be sure to post some of my results! :) I am going out for lunch today with my family, and no doubt my mom will want to go somewhere not very healthy. I am crossing my fingers though that she'll go somewhere that at least has a few good healthy options. I am going to go back to my crafting daydream, I guess. :D Have a good day all. :) |
Riestrella Oh man, easter treats. I am sort of dreading the aftermath of Easter. There will inevitably be at least a few eggs gifted my way, and I have a really weak spot for these peppermint/dark chocolate marshmallow eggs :( Thanks for the support re stress - I know there is no point worrying, but as you said, definitely easier said than done haha.
sun I didn't even watch it in the end haha, I just kept reading info on my Canada forms. I am going to work myself into a frenzy if I don't just get them filled out and sent off soon enough - but just have to wait from the bf's police certificate to arrive! That is so cool re seeing the definition. I'm not good at seeing a difference in the mirror, and wow do I study myself a bunch haha - maybe I look too much and that's why I can't see anything. I can't remember if I asked whether you were running outside or on a treadmill? namaste What are RHIT credits? Sorry for not knowing haha. But I'm assuming they're something to do with healthcare - those jobs don't sound too bad. Oh man shopping channels. We don't have any tv channels at the moment because we just download shows but I was checking out internet/tv providers in Vancouver last night for when we move and I found one that has this great deal on internet + SEVENTY FOUR channels...including shopping channels...uh oh. Crafting is awesome, did you make anything? ~Oh yeahhhhh. Weight dropped, still not back to my pre-weekend low, but on my way there, and hopefully past it to see a loss this week. I'm on my second glass of water for the day and I have healthy meals planned - leftover chicken and vege curry for lunch, homemade teriyaki chicken for dinner. Lots of chicken haha. OH and a run after work! Miss running, even though it's only been since Saturday! |
