HI JR...its goin okay

I want a friggin pizza...but other than that its okay....I have some whole wheat wrappy thingies (yes thats the technical term) and so i guess i could make a whole wheat pizza for dinner.

heartburn finally left this morning...i took another prilosec...dang....i thought eatin healthy was gonna make me feel better. My body I guess is not used to all the FIBER......

Accountability time

1 cup non fat yogurt + half cup kashi go lean.....

2 flat breads (low cal) with 1 cup chicken and lettuce with light done right asian sesame dressing..
sugar free puddin pack (gotta love the puddin pack)

2 cups popcorn

I drank a diet mt dew (well ya know cheap meijer brand..but it tasted like mountain dew....) TMI for a newbie but I have a friend who says when she is exercising that sweat that runs down between her b##bs is mountain dew. I hope y'all dont kick me off the site for sayng b##bs...

about 600 calories so far....



so......

OH I am down 4 pounds since friday..YEAH....

walked 3 miles...woot woot woot

ended up eating two bean burritos with multigrain tortilla, low fat cheese and 1/4 cup beans between them....

a fudgecicle

and then the kids brought home pizza and i had 1 slice.

so i am at roughly 1100 calories today

not too bad

drinking water....

1100 calories is good... and you even had that slice of pizza!

There's no TMI here newb or not... This is your journal say what you'd like.

Great job on those 3 miles today... and 4 pounds WOW!

Your doing amazingly
Keep up the work

great work, your food looks good. 3 miles is a good start towards improving your fitness

keep it jootsie!

congrats on the first pounds off!!!

Hi everyone

dang I have been busy...i think i counted about 1200 calories yesterday. I dont know if I mentioned but I took my exercise ball to work and I am sitting on it at my desk during the day.

I didnt get a chance to walk tonight or yesterday, but as I watched top chef yesterday I did walking in place and some dancing..(i looked silly i am sure)

Today I have had
nonfat yogurt and kashi go lean

an orange

1 chicken breast
salad
Sesame Ginger dressing

a mcdonald hamburger (i was on the run)

a pudding

i dont think thats many calories..i havent had a chance to add

how is everyone...

Hi Jootsie,

Get that exercise in any way you can... even if you look silly. Anyway Silly is FUN!!!!

You're eating looks good to me. There are things much worse than one plain hamburger that you could have gotten at McDonald's.

I hope your doing well
Have a good night
~Jenna

argh..

struggling

gained back the 4 pounds

very depressed about it today --- maybe because i am exhausted from lack of sleep, stayed out till 2 am...last nite, went to see Nickelback/Daughtry/Stained last night......had a great time but very very tired. Ate too much over the weekend and yesterday (GRad parties)....

i didnt want to post this but feeling like crap that i cant stay in control of my bingeing

Its so hard to control the binging when our body is so tired ... it wants energy!

It is good that your realizing that you can't control the binging and what might be causing it. I know its upsetting that the four pounds are back but if you move past the binging this weekend(I know its easier said than done) and get back to eating healthy those pounds will come back off.

Stay strong and keep going.

Hey Jootsie..
I used to binge all the time ..
you will get to the point where you won't binge..

don't be too hard on yourself

just go back to the drawing board ..

you are doing good! Keep up the good work!
and those four pounds will fly off before you know it!

best wishes
always

Okay. I almost didnt come back but i NEED too. I had a really rough week last week. My one dtr had knee surgery and i had some other very personal stuff going on. I mean hard/emotional personal stuff where I cried for 2 full days. I also ate anything I wanted and drank anythign I wanted and I feel like crap.....

Yesterday was the worst...I felt bloated all day and unmotivated. I know I need to really make the commitment to myself....

What can I say, I will start all over today and try to be very honest in this diary about my emotions/my food intake....

Maybe also I should not limit myself for the first week. Maybe I should just eat "normally" and journal it so I see what self destructive behavior I have. Maybe I should journal my feelings with my eating....instead of trying to be so good so fast....I set myself up for failure.

What does my body feel like right now...bloated...out of shape...my knees hurt when i walk down the stairs. I feel unmotivated. I feel sexy about 50 percent of the time..but for real..i would like to have more sex ;-)...but my husband is also very overweight and it affects that part of our relationship...besides that and the fact we have had such tragedy in our life lately.

So i dont know what to have my goal be today, but i know i gotta not give up..ya know...

just not give up....

okay...just in a really bad mood...cuz of my weakness...

so i had a few low carb wraps today with some leftover chicken/tuna..

then i wanted something more so i had a few wheat thins..and i dont even like wheat thins......

i am wanting a smoothie..i guess i can look up recipes for low fat smoothies....i am thinking that would fill me up

i think i am pms'ing so bad....i cant shake this mood.....

Sorry to hear about your daugther.
You seem to be doing good great choices of foods and a nice variety.As for feeling old on a bike-here in germany 90 year olds rides bikes!!!Just think of the excercise your getting its so worth it!

I'm soo sorry for all you have had to deal with lately.
You seem to have made a first goal for yourself and that is to NOT give up. This is the first step to truly want to make a change and commit to it. You have to find what will work for you... if easing into life changes is what is going to allow you to stick with them then do that.

We're all here to support you in whichever way you choose you need to do this.
