ALL THE EXERCISE IN THE WORLD CANNOT UNDO POOR NUTRITIONAL CHOICES!!!

Oh, yea, & TOM is due in 4 days. This d@m cRAVEN bird has to GO!!!

yesterday ended with 1657 for the day, walked off 239 it said (why not 240?weird).

I have 790 left for 3/1 but am a bit hungry.....yesterday totally didn't get hungry til dinner time.

On day 5 of walking 30min YEAH!!!
Water: 10 cups so far

Snuck a weigh in and for some reason (ok, I am like ocd or something about weighing in!) I am at the same number in weight as previously.....it had been up and down this week....probably eating to little? (though that excuse sounds awesome!! excuse to eat:p)

hubby is out of country (he went to China.....we live in Taiwan) for the next 9 days....:(

Well, I survived my birthdays (It was Tuesday, but you know how it extends to other days when you only see certain people on certain days). I knew there was going to be chocolate and cake and who knows what else, and there was. So I made my goal to log 10,000 steps every day for 8 days, and not worry too much about calories.

That's working. Wednesday was the fourth day over 10,000, and the weight is starting to drop again. I have followed my healthy eating plan with the exception of these social things.

Now I have a whole bunch of chocolates. I put them in the freezer, and will plan to have one or two a day, which is my usual habit anyway. If I don't put them in the freezer, I'm in danger of eating more than that!


Panshrmu, I had lunch with a fellow from Taiwan on Monday. I made it a point to learn something about Taiwan before the lunch.

K9owner, 1717 is not bad! For me, "blowing it" is some unknown number of calories over 2500 and no exercise.

b: oatmeal (160), 4 med strawberries (20), green tea: 180
s: granola: 90
l: chicken soulvaki, which I'm estimating at 650cals.
s: aero bar (220), diet coke - horrible stressful PMS day.
d: 1 California roll - 240, cucumber roll - 110
boyfriend brought home reeses pieces: 300

total: 1800 approx for the day.

walked 40 minutes = burned 285 calories hopefully.

b: oatmeal, nuts - 200
s: granola bar - 90
l: flatbread - 290
s: 2 biscuits - 100

total: 1140

ughh..TOM is really messing me up the last few days :( and I dont want to weigh in tomorrow because I know Im retaining water and bloated right now..

Over ate yesterday. Was fine until I saw a bag of sea salt and pepper pretzel pieces on the coffee table. Thought 'hmm, let me try one'. One. Yeah right. Then I ate 3 cookies! Arrgggh.

Back to it today.

I work Sat/Sun nights--again! What's new?? I picked up a couple of shifts this weekend. I wasn't supposed to work again until next Thurs/Fri. I hope this weekend is better than last weekend!! :crossed:

I hope you all are having a great week.
I have packed on a little over 2 lbs of water weight this week, which I am NOT happy about, but it is what it is!
Maybe next week will prove better for me!

Happi Friday Ladies ;)

i am a bit frustrated.....this weigh in thing is like watching a pot waiting for it to boil:dizzy:

I have been all but one day consistent at or under my goal of 1700. I have been walking consectively for 7 days straight now at 30min each day, except yesterday it started raining halfway through, so 15 min.

But my weight is at 212.8.......blah!!!i had weighed 211 a week ago, and now cannot for the life of me get down to that weight....... I am not giving up, just down right frustrated......ok, I know that my pants and all feel looser, I did not take measurements (should have!) but still, wishing that scale would get down a little more.....oh, I drink 3-4Liters of water a day!!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Alright, I'm almost through midterms. Extremely stressful exam yesterday. I went for the chicken livers & gizzards again. (I know, weird. But I love them!)

Even worse, no vegetables at all!

I'm estimating my calories were 2500 for Friday.

But -- I stayed on track for my little 10,000 step per day goal. I kept stepping until after 11pm because of that goal, and I barely made it.

Still ate more calories than I burned, so I can't have days like this consistently.:(

174 today!

b: 2 pancakes with nutella and syrup - 350
l: 1 granola bar - 90, flatbread - 290
Stawberries - 50
D: 1 bagel with spread - 250, 2 cupcakes - 400
So hard not to go overboard on weekends..

Total - 1430

1 hr brisk walk today

Quick fly by . . . .

Yesterday was a bust, overate. Stayed under maint. cals but . . . overate, nonetheless.

Today: Sitting at 1200 and I'm done for the day. Couple more days similar to today and I'll be back in the downward-scale groove once again.

My last few days have been pretty good calorie wise! Thursday was 1340 and yesterday was 1515 (I was hungry after working out so I ate back some of my calories).

Here's today...

Breakfast: Toast w/ butter=260
Lunch: Lean Cuisine asiago cheese tortelloni, tomato soup, roll=540
Supper: Veggie sub w/ cheese, 2 Cuties=680
Total=1480

Exercise: Turbo Jam 20 min workout

b: 1 english muffin with cheese, tomato - 250, cupcake - 200
S: half cup yogurt - 45, 3 strawberries - 20...granola bar : 90
D: Chinese noodles....sooo good. 1000?


About 1600 for the day. A maintenance day. This week it'll be easy to go back to low cal.

Last week was so busy and stressful. There were several days when I gave up on the calorie counting. But the one saving grace was that I stuck to my goal of 10,000 steps a day for 8 days in a row. I did a lot of it just walking in place on the mini-trampoline while typing at the computer (like I'm doing now). Sometimes until midnight, just to get the steps in.

This week will not be so busy and stressful (I hope). I'm going to set a goal for steps per day again (have to decide what it will be exactly) and will surely do better on the calories, too, since it isn't my birthday or midterms. No one will want to take me out to eat (I hope!) -- and the weather might be nice enough I can do actual walking, and maybe even some running!

b: cheese/picante omelet, coffee - 250
l: leftover london broil, cheese, lite sour cream on low carb wraps - 600
d: made homemade mac and cheese and had a serving of that -- no clue on cals, 300?, sauteed mushrooms/zucchini/carrots/garlic - 75, 2 cookies - 150

Total: not really sure (aren't I just doing great with this calorie counting? lol) I'll say 1400-1500

Am dying to go nom on some Doritos -- why oh why did I even buy them?? but I'm not going to. I gotta get that scale moving down again.
