WOAH!!! OH2007 - where are you getting your fibre from????
|
I have really been in the dumps this week with TOM plus lots of stress at work. I think (hope!) TOM is leaving (I never know, sometimes it lingers for 2 weeks) but at least my latest stress with work is finished (big presentation).
I just bought a plane ticket to go see my mom and attend a family wedding. I haven't been out there since 1999...I weigh 22 pounds more than I weighed back then. Not looking forward to the trip mainly because of my weight. Now isn't that ridiculous! Last time I was out there, my mom introduced me to someone she works with by saying, "this is my youngest daughter, the fat one". 8 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday and here I am 22 pounds heavier. So, I have 25 days until I leave. Ugh!! Grammy - you are doing so well! WTG! I'm inspired! |

Tinky ~ Lets say that I have noticed that what ever you set your mind to, you do. So I am sure you will achieve your goal of being good on your vacation. Your one tough lady! Brightside ~ I am perimentapausal and I think your lucky. I now have mine two weeks off and one week on. Lucky me. I am so sorry, that is a sad story. Everytime I hear something like that it just reminds me how cruel the world is. My Dad is the same way and I get after DH also. I let my weight hold me back on lost of things also and can understand your feelings. I felt that way about taking my vacation this year because going to the beach was part of it. Yup, but I found a way around putting a suit on. My will to lose the weight comes and goes Brightside. Unfortunately years of dieting has really messed my system up and now it takes a lot of effort to lose. Right now I am at a stand still but I am positive because I am putting on muscle with the jogging and all that I am doing. The inches was proof of that but I was also brave enough to look in the mirror and noticed that my rear is getting round, tummy is pulling up and in, arms are getting flabby but in a good way because the skin is going flat and hopefully firms up, my legs muscles are getting smaller and defined which I can't image them getting any smaller or I will have chicken legs. Well I am off and I think I might do a project that allows me to stand up so I can dance little a little behind the filing cabinet I work at. HAHAHAH! Check back in a while. |

Hence why I need to behave until vacation time! LOL! After I come back I will more than likely either transfer departments and pick up something that is part time. I'm a pretty patient person, but it does wear thin.
Well I survived the 1st family party for DF, I'm not sure how many calories I consumed, but I do know that I left the rest of my calories to eat, and I left alot of calories. LOL! Well.....good night everyone, and have a great weekend!! |
So yesterday's calories were pretty high... actually my highest in a long long time.
So I weighed in this morning at 146.4 and decided to start the South Beach Diet. I need some structure since I have been slacking soooo bad! Off to go make lunch :) |
Not sure what Friday was because we ate out. My weight was down again this morning, though, so it couldn't have been too bad. :)
Saturday: Total: 1375 Fat: 36g, 25% Carbs: 235g, 56% Protein: 65g, 20% Fiber: 51g |
Hello my fellow losers! :)
For today: 1402 calories 14% fat 20 grams of fiber My weight has really been fluctuating lately and it's SO discouraging. Every time I get below 200, it seems like I spike back up the next day. I drank TONS of water today, so hopefully that will be helpful. |
EEk I need to start drinking more water.. its so easy NOT to, I have never been a big drinker in the first place. Its hard to replace soda and juice if you never drank them, you know? I remember when I was little I used to drink from those little paper cups, and I would have to give my friends big glasses when they came over because if I gave them the little cups I would have to refill them 3-4 times. I was totally satisfied with just a little bit, I never get thirsty! We even have a poland water dispenser so its not like its sink water or anything. booo :(

week totals
calories 1364 fat 35g 24% carbs 198g 50% protein 60g 18% fiber 31g Well, yesterday was an all time high for calories...almost 2500 calories:nono: My DH and I had the evening to ourselves so we decided to go out. We went bowling, out to eat and then met up with some friends. By the time the evening was over I had downed 10 miller lites. I just hope I don't pay for it when I weigh in tomorrow. :( This week starts my busy fall/winter season. DD has her first day of preschool, tomorrow, she's so excited. Then we have gymnastics in the evening. Between DD, DH and I, I don't think theres a day that we don't have something extra going on. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when DD is in HS or when we have another kid. But anyways, I should go get my errands run before DD comes home from the movies. Everyone have a great week. Bridgette.:flow1::flow1: |
Hello all.
Today's stats were 1055 calories with 28% fat and 10 little grams of fiber. I drank lots and lots of water today and plan on skipping the scale tomorrow just because I think I am getting too caught up in numbers. Classes until 9 pm tomorrow but I hope to have the energy to make it to the rec afterwards to do at least 40 minutes of cardio and some lifting. Fingers crossed that I actually make it there! |
Hi,
TGI-Monday! Gee, never thought I'd hear myself say that! Went to a party on Friday night, hungry & stressed and made poor choices. The food was all appetizers - mostly fried Indian things (yummy!) and then mexican chips/dips. I should've eaten before I went. Combine that with a few tropical rum drinks and it really started the weekend off on the wrong foot. Saturday was too much snacking on sweets, but went out to dinner and just had a small salad (hooray, small victory). Yesterday was another party but I made better choices and proved to myself that I can do it! Today I started back journaling my food on Fitday and also set the alarm for 5:00am and walked a couple of miles on the treadmill. I will still take the dog for a walk later today. Just wanted to get the week started off on the right foot! A new week, a new chance for success! |
Hi,
Today i am trying to make a new start and commitment to counting my calories and staying within my goal. I want to try to make it between 1600-1800 since i am over 200 pounds. I don't want to start to low. I need to lose this weight for my health. I want to feel and look better. Hoping we can all stay on target today. |
Hello everyone,
I hope you have room for one more. I am committing myself to counting calories to lose the 20 lbs that I would like to lose. I have tried everyone and I have decided counting calories is the way to go. My weight goes up and down so much that I have decided I just need to stay on track. I do exericse ( which is the easy part for me) so I really need to work on my eatting. Have a great day bev |
Hey ladies!
I just got back from Toronto for a wedding (gone 4 days) and it was a total free for all with eating for me. I can't believe how quickly I went into piggy mode after 5 months of restricting calories. I was up 8 pounds the first night back, but lost some bloat and it looks like the damage is closer to 4 pounds. I will be back on track all week and hopefully get back to where I was quickly. |
