Today!

Today I did very well, and I was quite proud. I felt though that I could have had more water though, and perhaps something a little better for lunch as my stomache was rumbling until I was able to get home for dinner. I think that I could have brought an apple or something to accompany the bar as it left me feeling more hungry. Stress at work made me want to eat, but I overcame it by telling myself eating will not fix any of the problems. surprised

Total Estimated Calories: 1105 minus workout, 800.

Um you are not eating enough calories. You're going to kill your metabolism. You need at least 1300! gonk Don't tell me how to eat when you're killin' yourself over here.

Breakfast: Yogurt with granola chunks.
Drink: Coffee with sweetner.
Lunch: One serving of Japanese ramen, no sauce but vegitables added.
Exercise: Painted at work, carried white boards to trash after undrilling them.
Drink: Bottled water and another cup of sweetened coffee.
Dinner: OMG. I went to Country Buffet because of my mom. I kept careful track of how and what I was eating. I ate mainly veggies but splurged on a rootbeer float. I think I ate around 700 calories. My stomach hurts though from the sudden quantity of food. sad

I think I'm going to go back to taking daily vitamins again. I don't think I'm getting much vitamins so I'll definately do it. My mom is really good with pills/vitamins so I'll talk to her about setting me up with which ones to take.

I think this diet is going pretty well. I am waking up a lot easier now and not feeling so groggy all the time. I am actually motivated to go places and hang out with friends every weekend, and I'm no longer drooling at the smell of fast food places. On weekends I'm going to go to a gym and do some cardio and perhaps train myself to slowly be able to run (it's a requirement for the FBI to run). mrgreen I also find myself slowly getting into the habit of making meals more healthy by adding extra veggies when possible and making sure I am drinking milk.


Estimated Calories: 1200.

Very reasonable, and I'm glad you called me on it. As I look I can see that I really do need to eat a bit more because it is very little that I am eating and going from what I used to eat to around 500 calories is not good. I appreciate you worrying about me but I promise I will work on making sure I'm getting enough.

Breakfast: Leftover slice of pizza.
Drink: Cup of sweetened coffee.
Lunch: Boiled cabbage and Nutrigrain bar.
Drink: Two cups of water.
Exercise: Hour in the gym. 25 minutes on eliptical, 15 minutes on treadmill, 10 sets of 10 reps on Ab Lounge, 10 minutes weightlifting.
Drink: Two more cups of water.
Snack: Pistachios
Dinner: Two cups Mac & Cheese with velveeta.

Estimated Calories: 800.

I took a sneakpeak at the scale, even though it was not weigh-in time. I am so excited to announce my weight next week! I really feel that I will get close to my 10 lbs lost by Feb 16th for the concert! heart And my sister is now wanting me to teach her, and she went with me to workout today! I'm so glad! I think she was shocked at my loss so far when I told her, and she's on board. We are going to go shopping again on Friday, my payday, at the whole foods store and stock up on another two weeks of health food.

I'm so happy! heart blaugh heart

Aww. Thanks. wink Hopefully we both get down to our ideal weights because we could be awesome skinny peoplez.

Breakfast: 100 calorie pack of wheat thins.
Drink: Big cup ice water.
Lunch: Cabbage with potato
Drink: Bottled Water
Snack: Small bag of Gardetto's
Early dinner: 3 small slices of pizza, salad with lite ranch.
Drink: Rasberry Tea then non-fat Dolce Latte
Class munchy: Four pistachios.
...2nd dinner? Taco my mom made.
Drink: Another cup of water.

Exercise: I could not bear going to bed knowing how much I had eaten that day, without a bit of exercise. Luckily this workout place is open until midnight, so I went there. I did 15 minutes on eliptical, 30 minutes on a treadmill at 3.5 with incline, and 30 crunces on the ab lounge. I felt soo much better afterwards.

Estimated Calories: 1500-300 exercise= 1200. Much better.


Yet another bad day for eating. Everything was great until I went with my sister for an early dinner before class. She wanted pizza and despite the bag of Gardetto's I had eaten while doing some homework, I could splurge a bit. Well then after that we agreed that we wanted coffee, and I had a LONG lecture class so we got some non-fat kinds. During class everyone was eating Chinese so I ate four pistachios. But then I got home and my mom made some tacos. I could not resist. sad Plus then she would know our secret of going out to lunch. So I ate it.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to heavy-duty exercise after work to make up for the calories I had gone over today. I also read from a medical book that you can loose 200 calories by drinking a load of ice water, but I did not deduct that from my calorie intake.
