Ava's Attempt

My iPod is sooo useful. I've had it for about two years and it has been worth every penny. I can take thousands of songs with me on a plane or around the block. The only thing I don't like is shopping at the Apple Store. At the one here, whenever I go in there, they are sooo snooty and condescending to me. Makes me really upset! Other than that though..it's been great! I'm thinking of getting a new one soon...but I don't know.

summer - I too underestimate if I don't...so I've come to realize. For the record...I think you should still get the DVD...you've been working really hard and deserve it.

So breakfast this morning was kind of big. I had a bowl of cereal with some 1% milk at about 200 calories..and then two strips of bacon at 50 cals each. So that's 300 right there...I always thought bacon had more calories, but instead of those it just has a high fat content which still isn't great. At least I limited myself to just two pieces. There was a whole huge plate that I could have binged on. :). It was also cooked with the George Foreman *fat reducing* grill...I'm not sure if that helps at all but hey whatever works. And of course my water.

Lunch will be some more chicken from last night = about 240 Calories
I may have to go buy some fruit from somewhere...We will say a banana at 90 Calories

And dinner will probably be the same thing. :eek:

Soo...300+310+310 = 920 Calories.

To make up for the rest of the Calories...I'll have some more fruits/veggies.

And now I am off to run AT LEAST three miles...and maybe either run or walk two more. I'm telling myself right now that I'm going to do a minimum of five miles today. I did an extra mile last night and it felt great!

And tons of water.

Hope the rest of you are having good days!

Well, ava, it sounds like you are right back on track and making some healthy eating choices and doing some kick butt exercising. You just keep it up, girl!!
 
Well I did snack a bit today on an ice cream bar, some extra chicken, and a fruit smoothie...my cal intake is probably closer to 1500 or so. But I DID do my 5 miles as I said I would *wooohooo!!!!* and am actually planning on running 3 more...so that should make up for the bit of snacking I did, right? I've also been drinking my water...I just don't feel like I'm doing well. I feel bloated and fat haha, and I'm not looking forward to the weigh-in on Friday. I seriously feel as though I've gained everything back. Aghhh. But that's okay...just have to keep going.

It was really cool though this morning...I felt SOOO good from running. I convinced myself to keep going and going, and I did! Ahh. I don't want to face the scale!
 
Woo hooo!!!! Sorry I just had to post this....I ran SIX miles today in a total of 53 minutes and some odd seconds...wow. I have never done that. And then I walked two extra miles at 3 mph...so 20 minutes each. I feel...SO good. It's...I can't even describe it. It's like being on lots of really good drugs...but better!!!! Wooooo. I'd always heard people talk about a "Runner's High"...but it's crazy. I mean I'm there. I probably sound crazy right now but I feel amazing.

Sorry for being nuts!
 
you've run so much! i'm so proud of you! i snacked on extra chicken today too lol. as soon as i got hungry, i'd go get the chicken from the fridge (eh better than cookies or junk food though so be proud of that!). i'm scared for the friday weigh in also :eek: i dont think i've lost anything, esp since now i'm averaging around 1300 calories or 1400 calories a day. we'll see eek!
 
I can't wait to be at the point. I'm going right now to have a nice walk. I would try to run, but my kiddos are with me so I'll try to get that in tonight. :)

Have a great day! You're doing wonderful!
 
did you say SIX miles? In less than an hour? Oh. My. Goodness. That is incredible. Plus TWO MORE? Okay, reading that made me so tired I have to go take a nap.

Good for you honey!
 
Hah, Thanks everyone!

Scarlett---keep in mind that I did take a 10 or so minute break between the three miles that I ran. And I did not count those 10 minutes towards my total time. Honestly...I think I was crazy that day, and doubt that I will ever be able to do that ever again. Ever. :). I took today off as a treat.

So my mother finally took me shopping with her so that we could get some healthy food in this house. I'm pleased. :).

Today my food has been pretty darn good if you ask me..

Breakfast was a small bowl of Life cereal with 1% milk and a banana. That added up to about 263 Calories.

Then for a snack I had REALLLLLY yummy Cocomut Creme Pie yogurt...with some graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on the top. SO good...it was 190 calories but virtually fat free...so I said..what the heck, why not?

Lunch was really good too...a whole wheat tortilla with some melted sun dred tomato mozerella cheese and sun dried tomato turkey...yum. That was about 331 Calories.

So so far today...I'm at 784 Calories. Pretty good, I think! Tonight I'm just not going to count what I eat because I'm going to a concert and I believe that that is the kind of situation where I have to put "Diet Me" on hold to enjoy "Fun Me". And honestly, I won't do that bad I don't think. We will probably just go get pizza afterwards and I think that I can limit myself okay with that. But boy do I feel full right now...yikes!

And of course..water!
 
Ugh...my post just got all deleted so I will try to rewrite it. Thanks for all of the great support everyone, I really appreciate it!

Scarlett- I did take about a 10 minute break between each three miles that I ran...to rehydrate and what not. I cannot tell you how I did it though, for I do not know. I was in a zone I guess...and I don't know that I will ever be able to do that again. As a reward, I got today off. :).

Food today has been pretty good I think...and really tasty.
Breakfast: Small bowl of Life cereal, 1% milk, and a banana. Total about 263 Calories.

Snack: This was kind of bad of me, but not really...because it was totally worth it. I had some Coconut Creme Pie yogurt, and yes it was 99% fat free but had about 190 Calories in it....and I sprinkled some graham cracker crumbs in there...YUM.

Lunch: Wow...this was so good. I had a wheat tortilla and melted some sun dried tomato mozerella cheese on there, and for meat used some sun dried tomato turkey...so yummy. Who know eating pretty healthy could taste so yummy. That totaled about 331 Calories.

So the total so far is about 784 Calories. Pretty good, I think. And tonight I have decided not to count calories as I am going to a concert and I feel that that should be a special circumstances situation where I am able to put away "Diet Me" and bring out "Fun Me"...besides we will probably just go get pizza anyways, and I can stick to just a piece or two.

Hope the rest of you are having good days!

i just bought some more egg beaters yestserday, southwestern style mmm they are very very good!
 
Tom Petty...is my guy. I was more there for him rather than Pearl Jam, but they put on a great show too. Haha. I saw him last year too with the Black Crowes....10th row, dead center. Got the tickets the day of too...can't beat that! Our seats were pretty good this year too...about 30 rows back in the center. He puts on a good show and even sang some stuff with Eddie Vedder.

Good time indeed!
 
So today has been pretty good.

Breakfast: A bowl of Multi-Grain Cheerios with some equal

Lunch was a Lean Cuisine Shrimp meal thing. Pretty tasty.

A snack was a banana and a cookie...yikes!

And dinner will be tuna and some sides.

I counted calories on FitDay but I am too hot and tired with no energy to go look back on them. Heh.

Edit: I averaged around 1200 Calories

Hope the rest of you are having nice days!

good

You were so right on in that Stef girl's diary, I just want you to know that! I am so proud of you for going at your weight loss in a healthy way and for having realistic expectations. It is scary to see what lengths some young women will go to just to be unhealthily thin. It is so comforting to read posts from someone who is also young, but with a good head on her shoulders!
 
Thanks Hypo! I appreciate it a lot! :).

twinmom-I feel bad, but it had to be said. It was taken in the wrong way I think, but I don't like seeing people going down that road. This is not a Pro-Ana or other eating disorder site, so we can't reinforce that kind of thing. That'd be wrong. If I was wrong in any way...my regrets. That said, thank you for the support! I really appreciate it!
