On the way to loosing the weight!

Hey !!!!!! just popin in on you!! :D Have a GOOD DAY and drink your WATER
 
well I suppose everyone has a stressful week. This just happens to be mine. I have been having some obstacles with my new business , and my business partner has been getting on my nerves. :)

So anways back to the food. I was running around yesterday , so by the time I got to eat lunch it was almost 3. I was only at 200 calories for the day and I was hungry. So I ended up eatting crackers and hummus. I ended up eating to much and I think ate about 500 calories. So that put me at 700 for the day. Instead of overeatting though at dinner , I ate veggies and some chicken. Small portions also. So dinner was only 200 calories. That put me at 900 for the day. We went to frozen yougart last night again , and I got my favorite small with a topping. So that was 300 , bringing me to 1200 for the day.

I did however go on a nice long walk with my dog yesterday. I felt really good about that. So I burned some calories , which was great.

Food plan today:

Breakfast:
Tea
Granola Bar
250 C

Lunch:
Cottage cheese
Crackers
250 C

Snack:
Banana
150 C

Dinner:
pork
mushrooms
salad
350 C

That the plan. I am skipping the yougart tonight. It has been hard bec it is 85 degrees where i live and it feels like summer. Summer to me is always associated with ice cream.
 
Sounds like you're doing good! Since it that hot, you may want to try some sort of ice cold drink or make a frozen smoothie. It'll cool you off and be lower on calories.
 
okay. Well Yesterday I did stick to the food plan. I ate 1200 calories. I weighed myself and I was still up a pound , so I am not holding out to much hope for my weigh in on sat. I am not sure what i am doing wrong. I am getting in some exercise , sticking to the food plan, eating 1200 calories a day , drinking water. Just cant figure it out.

So tonight we have family in town and we have to go to a .... mexican food resturant. I really dont know what to eat. I was thinking a shrimp taco? They dont even have salad there. It is like authentic mexican.

food plan today:

breakfast:
Granola bar
Tea
250 C

Lunch:
Banana
150 C

Snack:
cottage cheese
150

Dinner:
shrimp taco ?
600 Calories ...

Ok I am going to try and stick to the diet.
 
You are doing good. Keep it up. Good luck with the resturant tonight. Have whatever, just not to much of it :D No chips and salsa :p J/K
have a Good one and drink your WATER.
 
Ok well where to start. I ate great yesterday until dinner. Had about 600 calories. DInner was crappy. Well good but crappy for me. I did eat chips and salsa. Not a ton. maybe 300 calories worth. then I ordered a bean and cheese burrioto. mmmm. I only ate half of it so I felt good about that. I figure my dinner was about 1000 calories , so that put me at 1600 for the day. Not great , but not terrible either.

so today was weigh in day. Sadly I didnt loose ANY weight. I have to say that is really disapointing. I didnt eat more than 1200 calories on any day and I excersised this week. I am hopeing my body well drop them next week.

ok so my father in law is very sick and I need to leave ... no idea on the food plan today.
 
Hang on in there! Don't get discauraged! When I first started this, I would go 2 weeks without loosing anything, then suddenly I would loose 2 lbs, then nothing for another 2 weeks. Sometimes the way body lets go of the weight is not very consistant, despite the fact that we are consistant in how much we eat. 1600 is not too bad, considering that you may be burning about close to that in a day(I'm assuming based on your height and weight). Do you plan for any cheat days? I have heart that it is good to have 1 "cheat" day per week, when you can eat more and pretty much whatever you like. I reserve those cheat days for restaurant trips, or maybe treat of my favorite food, or some extra icecream. It is good to vary amount of calories you eat each day, as it does not let your body to get used to the set number, and will throw off your metabolism. So, if you're not doing cheat days, do them! :)

I think overall you did pretty good with dinner. It could have been much worse, so you should congratulate yourself and move on to keeping 1200 calories.
 
The weekend

ok the weekend was tough. I ate badly. nuff said.I am not going to dwell, or beat myself up. I am going to get back on the horse.

So today is a new day. Here is the eating plan.

Breakfast:
Tea
Granola Bar
250 C

Lunch:
Cottage cheese
Crackers
250 C

Snack:
Banana ?
150 C

Dinner:
pork
Salad
broccli
300 C

Weight loss goal this week:
Dont exceed 1250 calories on any day
Drink lots of water
Get down to 145 by weigh in on sat.

Here I go again ...........
 
Your calories look good! Don't worry about the weekend! What are your exercise plans? As far as goals go - those are very good, but I would concentrate on specific goals, like eating certain amount of calories, or exercising for 20 minutes a day, etc. The weight goal is nice, but scales can be decieving, and they don't always show progress, so don't always take what scales say literally. You can gain or loose 2 lbs of water in a matter of day. I also would recommend recording your measurements if you have not already done so and measuring yourself once a month. As you continue your weightloss journey, you will really appreciate knowing your measurements.

Have a good day, keep up the good work!
 
I need to vent ....

Ok so I am doing it again. Sabotagoing myself. I just dont understand why I do this. I get so frustrated with myself some days.

I have been feeling like a complete failure the last week or so. I have not been drinking my water. I have not exercised. I have not been watching what I eat for dinner. I seem to do great until about 6 then all self control goes out the window. I am also finding in "real world" situioans where I dont eat at home , that I cant seem to make wise decisions.

All of this has caused me to gain weight. :( I need to update my ticker to show my weight gain. Lying to myself is not helping me.

My stomach is getting that "pudgy" feeling again. Then today I felt like everywere I looked were thinner , prettier people.

To top that off my father in law is having open heart surgery on friday. I am definilty stress eating.

I am trying to get motivated.
 
Vent all you need!! stress has a way of making me overeat also, I know how ya feel... just keep at it. This of it this way, extra weight around the abs is bad for your heart(my hearts in big danger right now :rolleyes: ) and the sooner ya start thinking about things like that, the better off you'd be... especially with your fatherinlaw goin in for surgery. My mom died of a heart attack two years ago... that puts me at an even higher risk. Think about yourself, you can totally do this!!!
 
You need to deside that you need to do this for yourself, for you. Other then that - ups and downs happen a lot during weight loss process. Pick one goal for each day - such as eat 1200 only, and pat yourself on the back each time you've succeeded in it. It takes time to establish routine. It took me at least 3 month to get comfortable and start having a good judgement on how much is enough, and I still cannot do it when eating out. So don't beat yourself up (that's the rule number one), and take it one day at a time. Don't forget to have 1 cheat day once a week. Use it for dinners out, meeting with friends, etc, holidays. Our society is a social eating society, so don't expect the impossible from yourself.

You're welcome to vent any time here, hope this helps!
 
I Agree Dont Beat Yourself Up Just Set Your Goals For You And Try Harder Day By Day!
