Well I just got done with 40 minutes of exercise and it still wore me out even though I took in 2100 calories today.

Maybe you want to drop the intensity of your workout a bit til you get used to it - one day of higher calories isn't goin to make a lot of difference -it's the big picture you really want to look at.

What are you eating before your workouts? if so - -what?

I usually work out about a half hour after lunch and dinner so that's usually around 300-600 calories before I work out.

1050cals in so far. I might have a snack here in a little bit. My normal 1 hour of exercise. I toned it down a little and I'm not feeling so worn out so I think that was my problem.

This isn't weight loss related but I got called for my second interview today. Hopefully this means I'm pretty close to getting a job.

Well I don't think I got the job. I interview really bad. I'll know more next week.

Worked out 40 minutes today. I haven't been hungry all day so I've taken in less then 1000 calories.

Tomorrow I get to weigh myself... lets hope for the best.

I lost 6lbs last week! I think I put it all back on yesterday too

It was my off day so I had a couple pieces of veggie pizza, a piece of all meat pizza and a lot of beer and rum and cokes. I took in around 2100 calories.

I've been hungover and feeling like shit all day so I went two days in a row without exercise. X_X

Still no news on that job yet today. X_X

I'm having trouble getting motivated to work out today.

Only did 40 minutes today. Took in 1174 calories.

I'm having a really hard time sleeping the last couple of nights. There is a lot on my mind and I don't really have anyone to talk to about it...

And we all know what not sleeping and being stressed means... at least I know what it means for me.

It made me eat. I'm up to 1403 calories for today... well... kinda yesterday... but still today since I haven't gone to sleep. Whatever, you all understand.

Hey Storm!

Your diary doesn't need to be weight-loss related per se... everything that affects your life is part of your weightloss.. 2D sucks we want the 3 dimensional view.

A lot of the time your eating depends on how you handle everyday stress. So in my opinion it is beneficial to also focus more on getting your mind right, not just the physical habits. You sound like you've been doing great.

A tip: You say you haven't got a scale, h0ow about investing in a tape measure? Much more reliable to see your changes anyway!

I finally got to sleep and laid in bed until almost 1...

I'm so stressed and... depressed... and lonely...

I've been out of work for a year and am having one hell of a time finding a new job. I'm getting sued for more money then I'll make in my lifetime by a guy I was in a car accident with THREE YEARS AGO. Some fucking ambulance chaser of a lawyer got to him so how he's claiming pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, lost wages, future lost wages... all that stupid made up bullshit. Then there's the fact that if I see any couple right now, even on tv or in stupid internet pop ups I get depressed and lonely.

All of that shit really isn't helping me get motivated to work out.

See it from a different angle. Solitude can mean freedom, the freedom to change your life into what you want it to be now.

Sorry about the couples thing, I know how you feel. It does get easier, and you will always find someone else at some stage. Just focus on yourself right now.

That suing thing sucks, I've known a few people in situations like that, luckily you come out stronger on the other side, no matter the outcome.

Stay strong... all you have now is yourself, all the more reason to take care of yourself to the best of your ability.

I've been trying to take care of myself but it's pretty hard for me. I'm kinda tired of being by myself though you know? All my friends are out there having fun but I'm stuck at home due to my financial situation. Ohh well...

I got the MP3 player I won in the mail today so I was stoked. I spent the whole day adding meta data and embedding album art into the tracks. I did end up working out for 20 minutes once I realized that it was 11pm and I had been sitting at my computer fucking around with music stuff for almost 12 hours, lol.
