Over 200 New year New Me Part 34

lildebbie

Danielle - Everything will work out ..have faith ...you can do it.!!!

I have this deadline tomorrow and i have to get cracking on it...i think it is really stressing me out and I am sure that is effecting my weight...back up to almost 251 this morning (was down in the 240's several times yesterday)...i am going to hopefully get it all done today and maybe i can relax some...

My goal is to not get on my home computer today at all..i am bad about going back and forth between work and my home one and getting on email, fb, and mfp...So i will probably not be here today ..

I have bunco tonight i need some relax time so i am excited...dh make jillian michaels brownies , I am bringing them tonight...i am proud that i came up with a "healthier" choice that just some junk..They are pretty good if anyone hasn't tried them, pretty much just flour, applesuace, cocoa powder, vanilla, honey, and baking powder and soda. We made them this time in cupcake pans, makes portions much better, our portions are bigger than the size on the recipe but still like 115 cals each, and they are pretty good...i will take that If no one else eats them guess I will just have to have a few

Deb-Hope you get all your work done. We will miss seeing you around today. Don't stress. I've had the Jillian brownies and I don't know if I didn't make them right but they didn't taste so good to me. I couldn't even get a 5 year old to eat it or two grown men who will eat anything. Wasn't pretty. I'm sure I did something wrong. LOL

Danielle-Hang in there. Your doing this all for a good reason. I'tll be well worth it!

Meokk-We miss you! Take care of yourself. Sounds likey our all kinds of busy.

Check in for yesterday

Calories: 1579
Sodium:1842
Fiber: 21
Exercise: Spin class
Proud: I went to a new spin class yesterday with a new insructor. He was BRUTAL. But I loved every second and I pushed as hard as I could. Even the lady who always takes his class next to me was struggling. Made me feel good I could keep up. And I burned 600 calories during the class. Usually I'm in the low to mid 500's. And I stayed under all my goals yesterday except fiber and 19 over in sugar. I normally can't stay under in my carbs! Back down to 211 again this morning. YAY! That's with TOM around the corner anyday!

Morning!

Busy day for me, my daughter's birthday is today ( she turns 15) and well she requested for Red velvet cake/cupcakes. So I am plainning on making them myself. If they don't turnout good dh said he will buy some from the local bakery.
She doesn't want any kind of party because she thinks "parties are for kids" so we are planning on taking her to her favorite restaurant some time during the weekend.

I am still not feeling good today, but I feel better than the last couple of days. I am still managing to stay with in my calories, fat, carbs, fiber, sodium, and downing my water. I tried to exericse yesterday, however, was not in the mood, maybe today.

If I get another chance today to post again I sure will. Have a great day!

Jess: I want you to see 209 or lower so badly! Way to kick butt at spin class. You're doing awesome this week with behaving at Genghis Grill, planning on doing Zumba at work when that starts and hitting spin class hard. Keep it up!

lstpaul: Best of luck in securing a loan to buy the rest of the farm. I know how much it means to you.

Danielle: Sorry to hear you're having a rough time with the changes lately, but you'll make it through and everything will work out the way it's supposed to. In the meantime, take care of yourself but we understand if you need to give your attention to your other things ahead of logging in. Just make sure you don't lose touch completely because we're here for you if you need to vent, celebrate or just say hi!

Lauren: Congrats on being confident with your size 10s! It's awesome, isn't it??

Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over by 32
Sodium: Over by 880 (hello, McDonalds)
Fiber: Under by 6...challenge failed
Water: 84.5 oz (over 10 glasses)
Exercise: Walking at volunteering 1.5 hours. Heart rate was up trying to get things packed up before the heavy rains and storms hit in the last half hour.
Proud: That I didn't eat anything else when I was in a snacking mood.

RedneckWmn

Heather-Girl I want to see 209 sooo sooo soo bad too!! I'm really giving it my all this week without trying to stress about it. I'm thinking of holding off on insanity for a little while. With my sisters wedding coming up I feel like I wont be able to give it 100% and when I do it I wanna give it 100% and do it right. So I may hold off and start begining of November. I have a hard time getting outta the house when it's cold to get to the gym anyways and then I could possibly freeze my gym membership. I really want to give the Zumba and SPIN and maybe try that new Jillian DVD a go and see if that can get me going again. Thank you for all your encouragement. I really means a lot to me!

09.15.10
Calories: 1836 (goal 1500). I had an unplanned threesome with Ben & Jerry.:embarassed:
Exercise: None. Worked 8.30am-10pm again.
Water: 10+ cups. I win.
Fiber: 23g; personal goal is 25g. I lose.
Proud: I brought home an extra large pizza and a large pizza and somehow managed to only eat 2 slices (1 slice at work and 1 slice when I got home about 3 hours later). Not proud that I didn't stop myself from eating B&J though. At least it was one of those single serving cups. Years ago, I'd eat half a large pizza and a PINT of B&J and that was just a regular Thursday evening. I guess I should consider it a win that my binge left me at a calorie deficit.

Danielle_81

Thank you everyone for thinking of me. It means so much. I am still lurking, but not sure how much I'll be posting. If I'm here I will say something. And I do plan to log my food whenever possible.

Today is my last day at my current job, and while I'm happy about that, I am a little sad about the friends I'll be leaving behind. I am shocked to say that actually. I haven't had a good working relationship in this department. But the last 5 months have been heaven! But I am VERY excited to start my new job and make new friends there.

And now on top of my minor meltdown yesterday I feel like crap today. Started last night on my way home from work and today it's just awful. I couldn't bring myself to call in on my last day of work, I just didn't want to be "one of those people" But let me tell you I was in tears this morning over that decision. Now I'm sitting here miserable :sick: only 11 more hours to go....then 10 days off

Julie- I definitely think your "binge" last night was a success. Sometimes it takes baby steps! I still don't know if I'd be able to stop at 2 pieces of pizza 3 hours apart.

Deb-Good luck with your project, I hope you manage to stay off here like you intend :laugh:

Laila-hope you keep feeling better (and me too!) and happy birthday to your daughter!

RedneckWmn

Danielle-10 hours and counting! Thinking of you girl. Hope you make it through your day. The last day is always a weird feeling. I always have the excited and sad feeling. Hope you get to feeling better!!


So I just want to say I am sick and tired of this remodel. They have our kitchen all taped up and are painting it, again! I can't get to the microwave or anything. I can get to the refrigator but that's it. This is not going to work come lunch time. Dang you, you remodel! Starting to look into my options for lunch. :grumble:

I felt so crappy all day yesterday and last night I took a 45 minute walk through campus and downtown....I think it got everything moving in the right direction, thankfully! I feel MUCH better this morning and finally decided to try week 5 day 3 of C25K: the dreaded 20-minute run. I put a towel over the machine so I couldn't see numbers and decided to just run as long as I could without stopping. It seemed fairly quick when I heard the voice say I was halfway there...and I kept going! I DID ALL 20 MINUTES JOGGING ABOVE A 4MPH PACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :noway: :drinker: :huh:

I am still in shock that (a) I did it and that (b) it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

I'm up 2 pounds from my lowest weight, though, which is sad, but hopefully by Friday things will have evened out.

Yesterday -

Cals: 237 under (FAT: 24 OVER :explode: )
Water: maybe 6 cups (CHALLENGE FAIL)
Sodium: 230 over
Fiber: 22 out of 25 (CHALLENGE FAIL)
Exercise: 45 minute walk at a brisk pace through campus and downtown. It was lovely.
Proud: that I didn't binge when I got home from that field trip. I really really wanted to (figured my diet was blown already, what's a cookie or 30?) but didn't. Took a walk instead.

HeatherMN

Purple: Great job on your 20 minute run!

Jess: You're welcome! You've been hugely supportive to me, too, and I think it's awesome!

Julie: I'm impressed you ate a personal serving size. I would have gone for the whole pint too. To be honest, even with the weight loss journey, I'd still do it. I suck.

I finished the first leg of my project yesterday, so obviously I am not staying away from this site. Terrible, I know.

RedneckWmn

Julie-I'm with Heather. I would of ate a whole pint. Or at least tried. I seem to have a hard time stuffing myself these days but I make quite an effort! :drinker: :laugh:

Heather-My jobs so boring I can't not stay away from this site. I'm with ya.


I'm craving a chili cheese dog hardcore. So I decided I'm going to the store tonight to buy turkey dogs etc to make my own for lunch tomorrow. Seems like a healthy alternative! Looks like Yoga might be a bust for tonight. Think I'll still hit up the gym for some cardio..maybe attempt to finish c25k tonight. Cris text me last night and told me I neede to finish without her. :sad:

LittleSpy

Jess -- Seriously, I can't eat anything anymore. I am completely stuffed. Like almost uncomfortably full after lunch today. What did I eat? ONE slice of pizza. One normal sized, 1/8 of a 16" pizza slice. Insanity. It took me forever and a day to finish eating it.

Healther -- You don't suck! :laugh: If I sat down with a whole pint of ice cream and a spoon, I'd probably still eat an entire pint in a sitting (or like Jess said, give it a good effort at least!). Luckily I've had the willpower to be able to spoon out a serving (or 1.5.... or sometimes 2 :embarassed: ) into a bowl and eat that and not go back. I'm just so happy I can finally be trusted with it in the house at all!

I'm waffling (mmm, waffles) on whether to go to the gym tonight. Part of me wants to go but the majority of me wants to push it oft until tomorrow because dh will be working all weekend and tonight's the last night we can hang out until Sunday. I think I'll not go and take a quick jog on my treadmill at home instead. Then I'll go to the gym tomorrow after work & get in a really awesome workout. And then I'll promptly go to Earth Fare and buy more of that freaking amazing coconut milk ice cream. :laugh:

Danielle_81

To continue on the "ice cream binge topic...."
So my supervisor just bought ice cream treats and I ate 2! She was so sweet she bought 2 low cal options and 1 regular. I opted for the low cal options and had 1 of each, and only totaled 190 calories. :bigsmile: I feel a little better now.

HeatherMN

Danielle: Great job on getting an ice cream fix for 190 calories!

Julie: I can't be trusted with ice cream in the house. I'm not sure I'll ever be!

Jess: I say go ahead an finish C25k. Cris and I exchanged some emails yesterday and it sounded like she is back on track with the Biggest Loser competition at her gym and trying to log her foods. It sounded like she'd be back on the thread soon, too, because she has lots of things coming up that she wants to lose weight for.

TMI ALERT:

Having a minor meltdown... just had my annual... with a new doctor and SURPRISE! A med student also. Very awkward. (As if the situation wasn't awkward enough) I like the new doctor... but I wasn't exactly prepared for the double ambush.

So to ease my meltdown, I went to the grocery store. BAD idea... now I'm sitting here with a toffee mocha (w/ skim milk) and a piece of german cake (probably not with skim milk...). Oh well. I've womaned up and logged every last calorie.

RedneckWmn

tstout-I would of freaked out too! Hope the grocery store shopping spree didn't hurt ya too bad!

Heather-I talked with her via text yesterday night and she told me to finish. She said not to wait for her. So I told her I would finish, for her. She told me the same that she plans to be back on the thread soon. Miss her! :frown:

Julie-I can't be trusted with ice cream either! My Mom but a half gallon of yogurt. I don't care for plain yogurt so I've been good so far! I don't blame ya for wanting to spend time with the hubby. I like the idea of a quick jog on the treadmil. Enjoy your night with hubby!

Danielle-That's so great your manager picked up low calorie options. That's so thoughtful!

I feel pretty good about my lunch choice. Got a grilled chicken sandwhich from Chick Fil A and fruit. Please explain to me...when I am TRYING to eat more I can't seem to get enough calories? I've got my food logged for the day and I'm not even at my base 1400 calories. What gives!? And that's WITH 4 servings of peanut butter. Oh well, guess I'll have to eat more peanut butter tonight then expected maybe. :laugh:

My legs are SO SO SO SO SO SORE from spin last night. Don't know if I should do easy cardio tonight or c25k..maybe I'll attempt it. I'm getting in my head. Somebody talk to me into it! haha

Momma24

Hey Girls,

Ryan had a complete meltdown this morning. Oh so embarassing for me and for his sister. He did it on the play ground with the entire school on campus (or so it seemed) Poor Sara!!! she has to be so embarassed her brothers melt down delayed everyone from going to line. They can't go until a teacher blows the whistile and since she was helping me pry my 5 year old off of the equipment kicking and screaming all they could do was watch. Any how I have a terrible stress headache and I have not eaten. I am just weak and tired.

Today is my last day in my 30's!!!! I don't know what I can do to celebrate the end of my 30's. We will see. I have to go get my little:devil: from the bus stop so I will talk to you all later.

elmox

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH SNACK ATTACK!!

Girls, I am so snacky today!! I'm guessing that it's because TOM is on his way (He better be. I don't need any Julie antics over here!) but OMG I cannot stop snacking. Nothing is unhealthy - fiber crackers, hummus, granola bar, pretzels - they just keep going into my mouth!!

HeatherMN

Jess: I have no idea how anyone has trouble eating all of their calories. I find it WAY too easy...however, my calories are not typically very healthy ones.

Momma: Sorry to hear about the meltdown today. My bf's son said a girl in his class kept crying the first day, saying she wanted her mommy. So, it happens to most kids at some point. I'm sure it will be quickly forgotten by others, though I'm sure your daughter will remind Ryan of it when he's about 16, in front of a girlfriend. That's what siblings are for, right? Have a wonderful final day in your 30s!

Lauren: Best of luck with the snacking. I had a snack attack this morning and caved into having some Gardettos from the vending machine. At least it was early in the day and if I follow my plan for the rest of the evening, I should be fine. At least you're sticking to healthier snacks. Darn TOM!

So tonight I'm instructing a riding lesson on my own and I'm so naughty that I haven't even put together a lesson plan. I'm totally going to "wing it." The two groups are so different that I think I'm just going to let them have a game night where they determine what they want to plan. We'll have fun while the other instructor is away :devil: Not that she'd mind, really, but the kids think it's great when we're allegedly doing something we're not supposed to.

lstpaul

Danielle: Hang in there! You've got a lot of emotional stuff going on right now - good and bad ... you'll get through it soon!
Momma: So sorry about Ryan's meltdown - it happens, hopefully the rest of his day went better. Hope you have a great 40th birthday tomorrow if I don't get a chance to log on!
HeatherMN: I'm with you ... I NEVER have a problem eating all my calories PLUS (unfortunately) - have fun tonight being the 'fun' instructor!
elmox: I had a terrible snack attack at lunch time .... I let myself get way too hungry and ended up going through a DQ drivethrough - I hope you were able to have a healthier snack.
Redneckwmn: You go girl! You know you want to work out tonight because you are on a roll with good food choices and doing spinning last night ... good job!

checking in for yesterday:
calories: good, good, good, good!
exercise: nothing - so that's not so good - but it was a very busy day
water: not so good
proud: I made good food choices most of the day and it's the first day in a long time that I stayed under my calories (and didn't have any exercise calories to use)

I just booked a little vacation for my husband and I for our 20th Anniversary coming up in October. October is so busy that I put our trip off until the week of Thanksgiving - hopefully the airport isn't going to be horrendous - but we will have to plan on waiting in lines I'm sure. We will be flying to San Francisco on the Sunday before Thanksgiving - so that is when we will likely hit the most crowds. We will come home on Thanksgiving so I'm hoping that won't be so bad. I've never been to San Francisco, we are booked at the Argonaut a hotel on the Wharf that sounded fun, and then we will be staying at a hotel/casino in Brooks,CA and doing some winery tours. I wasn't too excited about planning a trip because we have so much going on financially, and we are just very busy - but it was important to my hubby so I went ahead and booked everything today when I saw an airfare sale. I'm looking forward to it now!
