Cort's diary

Well, I'm slowly getting in the habbit of posting here more often! It's amazing how fast it can take you to just STOP posting, and how long it takes for you to start posting again. Well, for me, anyways. I just have trouble getting back into the swing of things.

So far I've done awesome, today! I'm taking up the Biggest Looser challenge since it's so close to what I was doing already...and it's really cool.

Lunch: Vitamins
8 ounces of water,
1 can of water packed tuna (chunky light),
1 table spoon of mustard,
1 table spoon of miracle whip (I prefer that to mayo...it has less fat and calories),
2 crustless pieces of whole grain wheat bread,
and probably the equivalent of 3 tortilla chips (what was left was all broken up and crumby). I would have had wheat thins instead of the chips...but we're out. Grr! I love wheat thins.
Oh, and I also had some spinach.

So thats a serving of animal protien (1/3), a serving of veggies (1/2), 1 serving of grain (1/2), and a naughty serving (less than, actually) of torilla chips.

Water: Working up to 16 ounces.

What I plan to eat for the rest of the day:

Peas (the other half of my veggies)
A grapple (it's a large apple, so it'll count as 2 servings of fruit) which is an apple that was soaked in concord grapes and NOT a hybrid which I thought it was...but that's all the fruit I have so...
2 hardboiled egg whites (protien)
1 Chicken breast (I think that's what we're having...mom is still debating) (protien)
And either rice or potatoes...no brown rice, though.
I'll have either oatmeal or cream of wheat for a snack (grain)

For my exercise today I've done 1/4 of a mile (not a lot, I know, but that was for a warm up) and about 15 minutes of upper body weight lifting. I didn't want to start weight lifting again because I don't want to build muscle, yet. I want that scale to break 190, dangit! But I decided to go ahead and do it since I've started measuring as well and weight lifting will really help. I will do my belly dance later on.

Tomorrow my food plan is essentially the same, but my workout will by lower body on focus (and dance!)
 
Alright then! I feel goooood.

Breakfast: None. This week, and maybe next, I'm doing an experiment where I can't eat before 12 pm or after 7 pm. So far I'm getting excellant results. Last night I goofed and ate dinner after 8, so I'm stretching the rule for wednesdays so I can't eat after 8.30.

Lunch: Will be a tuna sandwhich (miracle whip, mustard, a teaspoon of lemon juice, chunky light tuna in water, and 2 slices of wheat bread), some spinach, and 1 small red potato with a small amount of butter (sorry, can't do plain...) with ground black pepper. MM.

Snack: A bowl of whole grain wheat cereal (kind of like chex) and a cup of 1% milk.

Dinner: No idea.

Snack (before 7): 1 large washington fuji apple. I prefer granny smiths, but we don't have any and the fuji's aren't bad at all.

edit: forgot to say my workout!

50 minutes of belly dance and 10 minutes of weights. 1 hour! not shabby!
 
I was bad. I slept in until around 10.30 and stayed in bed until 11.45. :eek: :eek: Bad me! *pops hand*

Lunch: A bowl of potato soup with wheat crackers.
Snack: a cup of concord grapes. Mmm!
Dinner: not a clue.
Snack: An apple.

Exercise: None, as of yet. I plan on doing belly dance and upper body weight training with some ab exercises.
 
*squee* I'm back to 190! I treated myself to a new ticker. It says the same thing, but I was bored of the old one.

I'm a believer in the Biggest Loser diet, now! It's most certainly the diet for me.

The weekend was terrible. Tacos. Nachos. Soda...lots of soda. No vitimens, and no water. Absolutely horrific.

This week I will do better, though!

Tom is visiting and with avengance. I miss a month and he comes the next with enough for both months. GR. Strangely, I'm not craving chocolate.

Because of tom, I won't be able to do any cardio (except a short walk on the treadmill), but I will most certainly be able to do some weight lifting!

Cheers to a new, better week!
 
Okay...I had a TON of protien yesterday. Like 120 grams...yeeeesh that's a lot. My carbs were slightly higher and my fat intake was about 30 grams.

Today:

Breakfast: Cream of wheat with one slice of wheat bread.
Lunch: Dunno
Snack: either an apple or some grapes
Dinner: No clue
Snack: either an apple or some grapes
 
Oh gosh...I lost another two pounds! I've FINALLY broken away from the 190s!!

I'm really surprised, too, since I've hardly done any exercise lately and havn't been exactly eating right.

I've also dropped half an inch on my biceps and an inch on my stomach (actually, an inch on my waist but nothing on my stomach, what I've been doing is finding the medium between the two numbers of the waist and stomach). I also dropped half an inch on my hips, too (no wonder my pants keep falling down!) and .25 on my calves and I think .50 on my thighs as well. I'm psyched.:eek:
 
Today's food wasn't bad.

I just learned the other day that mom is going to California for about a month (another 1 way ticket), which leaves me home to take care of dad and the house. woo hoo. :rolleyes: Good news is, that I have the house to myself all day and that means lots of exercise time! I will also be cleaning a lot (can't help it, mom got some swiffer wet pads and I love using the swiffer!)...gotta take care of the new tile and all!

I think...depending on how I keep loosing weight, I'll be below 160 before my birthday! Woo! I'm going for 185 by valentine's day. Lent will be awesome because I'm giving up sodas and junk food. For some reason, it's always easy during lent!

Dad and I have also come to an agreement that while we have control of mr. grocery list...no junk food whatsoever in the house. Tomorrow mom is going to the commisary, I think, and I'm going to go with her/help her to make the list. I'm going to make sure I'm prepared to go on the Biggest Loser diet full blown.

Lots of fruit and veggies. Some more cream of wheat and oatmeal, more toasted wheat cereal (makes a great dessert!), and lots of albacore tuna and canned chicken.

I doubt if I'll get any exercise done before wenesday, but I'll try and get an hour on thursday...unless dad decides to stay home. Whenever he does that it entirely throws off my plans and I feel as if I can't do anything at all.

Oh, before I go to bed, I found something that made me so mad! I found a live journal weightloss community. The only thing is, is most of the members are already at a very decent and healthy weight (one was underweight) and trying to loose 10-30 pounds! One chick, 5'3 or so, wanted to be 98 pounds. I nearly cried I was so mad. I almost joined just to tell them get a life, but then I thought, "Let them screw themselves. They don't care about what I'm going to say." I also found another one where they were encouraging some poor girl to loose 30-40 pounds in one month. :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :( :( I SO wanted to choke those people.
 
Well..mom's in Reno, now...she'll be driving up to California in an hour or so, I guess. I'm still awaiting her call.

I've got a lot of work to do, today...including a lot of exercise. I made it my goal to be 185 by Valentine's day.
 
I had my first cup of green tea today. It was delicious. I seriously love Celestial Seasons...they ROCK. I really want to start getting more teas...they're so relaxing! I'm glad I picked up the tea when dad and I went shopping, today....I feel so much better.

I got the Green Tea antioxidant (. The first taste you get is really interesting, but the after taste is spectacular. I really shouldn't have drunk it so late, though...I'm starting to get a caffiene buzz. Oh dear. :p Anyways! Now I know where to get my caffiene hype, now!
