The ridiculousness of my day:
So. After I posted last night, I checked the nutrition facts for what I had eaten at Sonic, and the good news is that I didn't go over my goal calorie intake for the day. As I've said before, I know those calories could have been spent better, but still. Anyway. Today was just fine. Normal meals, normal calorie intake. The problem would be... Yesterday morning, I weighed 258. My scale's batteries died, and I put a new one in today. I weighed myself a few minutes ago, and weighed 266. What. The. Eff. I always weigh a few more pounds at night than I do in the morning. But 8 pounds is mind boggling. Since there is no way that I've gained 8 pounds in one day..the only other thing I can think of is that my scale was giving inaccurate readings because it was low on battery. =( I'm going to weigh myself again in the morning to double check. I'm slightly freaking out about it. I've been so excited with my continuous weight loss. The steady loss has been great. And if it's been incorrect...agh. The only good thing is what my bf pointed out, which is that regardless of what the scale says, my clothes are fitting better. I am technically smaller. But still. Agh. Current Mood:  annoyed |

Ugh. Over the next 2 weeks, my partner doesn't get paid as much for his work. He got paid in advance for the next 2 weeks which would normally be $1400, but because they gave it to him in a lumpsum - more tax came out of it than usual - and now we're short. So we had to get a budget pack from the butcher's which we used to get before I started my diet, and we can't choose the meats that go into that, and blaargh. I had to cook up sausages last night. I haven't had sausages for almost 4 months now! (except kangaroo sausages which are completely healthier haha) And wow, they were so gross, I can't believe I used to absolutely love the taste of these. While they were cooking I kept poking them with a skewer and all the oil that came out of them was gross, and I only managed to eat half of one before deciding "Bugger this, I'm not eating this, eurgh." ... My mouth just tasted like grease. The only other thing I have to worry about in the budget pack is the breaded steak. And the other packet of sausages which I'll be refusing to eat, more for everyone else I guess lmao. I can't wait for the next 2 weeks to be over though so we get the real pay and I can go chooooose my meats again. Anyway. I'm back to the weight I was before that bread spree a couple of weekends ago :) I also discovered that bread must've been the cause of my constant migraines months ago. I haven't had bread in months now and I haven't had a migraine, UNTIL that weekend when I made that bread-cake and ate alllll that cobb load. A three-day long migraine. Ugh. Apparently yeast headaches are common, I never really noticed before, I just thought my body was being stupid haha. Current Mood:  calm |

I practically gorged myself last night. My boyfriend took me to panera for lunch and his parents took me to bullritos for dinner. I woke up a lb heavier. This must all have to do with it being that time of the month. I indulged in a pretty big lunch again today but at least it all had nutritional value! I <3 orange bell pepper! |

Soooo... I feel like this is going really slowly. Like I don't know, its been two weeks and I've lost like 12lbs. But my house smells like christmas cookies and I get my carbs back today so I'm a little nervous. Like I know I'm breaking my diet friday- no question. It's fucking Christmas. But I've just been having these cravings! I don't think I havent a problem with eating healthy, I think its the fact that I'm eating the same healthy stuff every day. Part of me just wants to eat fruit and veggies all day and for dinner, grab pizza lol I miss pizza. I dunno though. This is the least I've weighed in a while and I don't want to screw it up but if I totally deprive myself everyone may wake up to me eating a hunk of pepperoni and a whole thing of cheese rocking back and forth in a corner in the dark. |

how to tell if you are getting definition in your abs?
i'm trying to figure out if i'm getting definition in my abs. i've been doing yoga and keep my abs tight as much as i can for the whole yoga class. in addition, i've been trying to do "yoga for abs" dvds and i've been trying to "pull in" from my bellybutton to my spine every now and then. i definitely don't have a flat stomach yet and not sure if it will ever happen for me. i just think some people weren't meant to have flat stomaches. ;-) |

Slightly off-topic - I hope you don't mind
But how about we try to take some of the stress out of losing weight out of Christmas by sharing and enjoying the sweet, sweet sounds our favourite Yuletidey songs? (It's Christmas Eve, the day after tomorrow. How the crap has that happened? Bloody time and its ceaseless marching on behaviour.) I choose you, Chris de Burgh! |

Chocolate
I just wanted to express how chocolate has ruined my day: ( Calorie Percentages )( % Calories per food )- Chocolate Ice Cream (icecream) 18%
- Chocolate Lindt Lindor Truffles (Milk Chocolate, Red Wrapper, 3 per serving) 13.9%
- Yellow Sweet Corn, Frozen 10.2%
- Red Wine 9.4%
- Turkey breast meat 7.5%
| - Broccoli, cooked 6.9%
- Tilapia 6.3%
- Mozzarella Cheese, part skim milk 4.5%
- Yogurt, Yoplait Whips Yogurt 4.4%
- Apples, fresh 4%
| - Carrots, raw 3.2%
- Asian Gourmet Panko Breadcrumbs 3.2%
- Teriyaki Sauce (1 tbsp) 3%
- Hummus 2.9%
- Salsa 2.3%
- Regular Coffee 0.4%
| These are my calories per food eaten today. Please note the first two items. I stayed within my caloric limit today but wow I need to remove ice cream from my life. That was only ONE cup. ( Kind of gross question. Click here. ) Current Mood:  bored |

Opinions, please...
So. I have decided to make a homemade trail mix. My idea is to use really awesome, filling ingredients, then get a calorie total per serving, then divide the mix into snack bags with 1 serving each so I can take them with me and not worry about over-indulging. So far, I plan on putting in: -all natural almonds -raisins -dark chocolate chips (sparingly, but come on, you have to have some chocoalate in there, and dark is supposed to be good for you) -??? That's where you come in. Not sure what else to add. Any suggestions? Current Mood:  creative |

Yayyyyy! Finally broke through the 89kg barrier!
Just a quick check-in after my workout this morning. Looks like the cumulative 41km total I walked last week has finally made a scratch-sized indent onto the scales... I weighed myself this morning and for the first time in 5 weeks, I'm actually sitting under 89kg. 88.8 (that's 195.6lb, for those of you not using metric) to be precise, so not far under, but *still*. I'm under! And since I was somewhere around 89.8 last week, that means I managed to get rid of an entire kg during the week (much of which is probably water, it must be acknowleged). But again, I say, "still". Under 89kg. Wonder how long I'll sit here before I manage to break 88? Current Mood: happy |

Booo
So I went over my calorie limit yesterday. I'm not sure by how much 'cause I went over by drinking. I'm hoping it's not over my BMR maintaining limit, though. So, do any of you guys find this: if you've gone over, you'll have a bad dream about it? I dreamt that I got on the scales and I was at my heighest weight again, and I dreamt that I just kept eating, and none of my new clothes fit me anymore. I always get this, if I ever go over unexpectedly! |

Boo.
Oh I am sick. I have a sinus infection and am pretty sure I did something worse than I thought to my foot. I have repeated injuries in that location so I'm not surprised. I am gonna stick to the elliptical I guess. Yesterday I was so bad. I got up at 11am!! (I normally wake up at 5...) This should have been an indicator that I was sick but nooo. We went out to lunch and I had a chicken Caesar salad (saved half for lunch today) and a piece of my favorite indulgence. That's right folks, I need a cheesecake eaters anonymous support group. My mom even told me she's bringing some for Christmas. It's hard for me to binge in front of my skinny fit family though so that's not going to be an issue. We had turkey breast, green beans and cornbread stuffing for dinner and I ate blue chips and super spicey salsa later on. I did have a few glasses of wine which totally breaks some personal rules but I was feeling pretty off so I decided wine was the way to go. I regret that because it was the only bottle I had and now I've got to buy some for the party next week. I did lose one pound though! I'd bet it would be two if I were not so congested. Who gets sick on Sunday? At least all I have left to do is clean up the dining room and then my downstairs will have been successfully cleaned! Current Mood: crappy |

I've worked out everyday, sometimes twice a day for the past seven days, and today my body is taking a much deserved rest. My back and hamstrings are killing me, so I think this probably came at a good time. In other news: I'm going to go see the nutcracker with my boy and his family! I've never been to a ballet, so I'm really excited. I'm also giving them all some Christmas presents, so I'm a little nervous about whether or not they'll like them... *crosses fingers* |

Made it!
I made it through finals week which was very stressful. My workout schedule was modified a few days to make more room for studying and I was worried that everything was going to interrupt my goals. I did not end up losing 2 pounds like I hoped but did lose 1.7 which is close enough! Hopefully this next week I will be able to focus on it and really push myself. I do not have school to think about and can just relax and exercise. Good luck to everyone else and be strong through the holiday season. Money, food, family issues, work schedules, these are all things that change and get frustrating this time of year but you just have to remember that most of it is temporary and you will feel much better about all the things you cannot control if you are able to control at least one part of your life.

I feel like a sloth
I haven't worked out in what feels like at least a month. I had problems with my back where it hurt to move at all. So I stopped working out. But now my back is feeling better. But I haven't been back to the gym yet. I'm starting to gain weight again. Not much but enough that I notice it. I'm a size 14 still, which is good. If I was a 16 again I would be so upset. But my size 14 pants are getting snug. Not good. The kids are off from school for the next two weeks and so is my husband. Thankfully our gym has a daycare that's $1 per child per hour. The kids both love the daycare. There's a lot for them to do. Video games, movies, toys, a table to draw at, and a play structure that is kind of like a McDonnald's Play Place type of deal. So here's the plan. I'm going to go to the gym at least 3 days a week. I might wind up going more than that, even if it's just to do cardio or take a class. I'm going to dig out my Body Sculpting Bible for Women and do the workouts suggested in there. I was getting good results with the routines in there. I'm so looking forward to it! I'm not doing my goals in lbs because my weight is never steady. So I measure myself by how my clothes fit. I was an 18. I'm now a 16. My goal is an 8. However if the lowest I get is a 10 then I'll be happy. :) |

I haven't been that since...last year! I "puffed" to 155 (almost 160) after meeting my boyfriend...and am finally back down to what I was when we first met! I've set short term goals for myself with rewards :) to get my self on track- ( short term goals :] ) what kind of goals do you set for your self in terms of this weight loss journey? |

I could've done better today, food-wise. I didn't eat excessively, or way too many calories, but didn't have ANY fruits or vegetables. It was all carbs. And though carbs are importance, so is balance. Did a 40-minute interval run, and now for situps and push-ups. Woot? |

Out of the 60s and into the 40s! Unfortunately today was the first time since I started this diet that I've binged :-( For shame. I made a pound of taco meat and made a "quelsidilla" with motzerella and 2 tortillas, then another with one but i only ate half of that. its just i put sooo much meat on them and them almost 3 tortillas- the caaaarbs! :-( THEN i came home and saw that my parents had ordered out and there was a beautiful meaty crab cake in the fridge and i tore. it. up. for breakfast i had a salad with chicken breasts. so i guess all in all thats a normal 3 meal day but i had like the salad at like, lets say 10 am, got stoned and ate all that taco shit that honestly wasnt that yummy, then came home and ate the crab cake. its midnight, that foods just going to sit in my tummy all night. i should go work out. but i know i wont. ill do 100 crunches. at least thats something. hop i dont wake up to a gain :-/ |

Oh Wow!
I tried a running tip that I was given to improve the pace of my running, don't concentrate on the legs, just focus on moving the arms faster - it really works omg. It was almost effortless and working really well except I got carried away and my flailing hands knocked the saftey plug out - slamm, dead stop. It is such a buzz, I'm going to go back and do it again, even though I've just had my shower. I want to see if this works again *giggles* its fun! |

Today was chest and back. Meaning tomorrow is going to bite the big one. =( I always ache something fierce the day or two after any chest exercises. Which means I either have zero chest muscles (always a possibility) or the push-up bars I bought are well worth the $10. I just keep thinking about the last time I lost weight. (If for some reason you don't recall...this is my second attempt at losing weight. Attempt 1 happened 3-4 years ago, and resulted in a 70 pounds loss, followed by a 90 pound gain) Anyway..it seemed so much easier that first time, just because of my lifestyle. Having children and mutiple daily obligations really does make things much more difficult. I'm not sure how much pregnancy actually changed my metabolism or anything like that, but it's definitely more difficult to find time to exercise, cook healthy meals, even shop for groceries. And the thing is...like I mentioned when I started this journal, this time around, I had lost 40 pounds, but had already started to climb back up. I gained 14 pounds back...eek. My boyfriend (I really hate that term by the way, which is why I so seldom use it. He's so much more to me than just a boyfriend, but just because we're not married, he doesn't get a fancy, importance-lending term...) sat down with me and we talked for a long time about what struggles I was having with staying focused, and why it felt like I was already admitting defeat. That little pep talk was enough motivation to get me back on track. Since then, I've lost 12 of those 14 pounds, which is great. And also why I was really hoping to lose another 2 pounds by Sunday. Anyway....all of that back story is for this: I keep thinking, if my ex-husband had been a fraction as supportive as my current man, I doubt I'd have gained any weight back at all that first time. If when he noticed I was started to head in the wrong direction, he'd have said anything supportive, I think I would have never have gained that enormous amount back. Ugh. Reason number 4,349 why we're divorced. Moving on... If any of you happen to know where I have misplaced the television remote, I'd appreciate it if you'd clue me in. Current Mood:  thoughtful |

ouch!
Today is a day of rest. When doing stairs at work I noticed a horrible pain in my right foot. I am concerned about that and am going to spend some time stretching out my feets tonight. I may do some kickboxing later since that does not involve too much foot slamming into the ground.
At lunch I had a salad and added some of the chicken left over from the luncheon yesterday. Well, it tasted like someone was cleaning up around the food and sprayed 409 or something on the chicken. It was sickening! I spit it out immediately but it got all in my salad and ruined it's healthy integrity. I ended up eating some rice and then just had some chicken wings when I got home. I was so upset! I mean I don't know if any of you have accidently eaten something with cleaning spray on it but BLECK!
I'm still rockin 180lbs. I lost a lot my first week doing ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) weight_comp but these past two weeks I haven't really gone places on the scale.
I have amped up my workouts to include running, though, and I think I may be doing some additional cardio minutes as well. This weekend, however, it's all about the big clean! |
