Recommended Posts

ugh...so here's my confession. i went to the gym for 35 minutes burning 500 cal...but then i picked up baked potato Soup (chz/bacon on it) AND then i ate 3 Cookies (180 cal. total) I didn't eat my yummy spanish chicken as i had planned. I think i was bored...must not do that again! :w00t:

Today:

b: instant coffee (80 cal) & oatmeal with pb (250 cal)

l: ordering a turkey/swiss wrap with balsamic vinegar on it. i'll probably eat some of the actual wrap and all of the cold cuts (i take it apart). It's probably in the 300+ calorie range (guessing)

d: spanish chicken! this time i won't go to get my comfort soup. it's probably 350 calories (again guessing).

My goal for today is not to snack tonight. cross your fingers:rolleyes:

Gym: i'm going to do my usual 45-60 cardio and toning (about an hour--but that's because we all talk and do it at the same time lol)

pigs-r-flying - WELCOME!

speaking of slapping hands and all that - I almost refused to post my intake for yesterday. Now I know we all have bad days - I have certainly had my fair share but yesterday took on a whole new dimension. It wasn't just a bad food day, it was self-sabotaging, anti-band friendly and just rotten! It started out with me knowing I was having a problem with chocolate. In an initial attempt to help with this I thought it would be a good idea to give chocolate up for Lent. Well last night it turned into a well let's eat as much chocolate as I can before tomorrow.

I actually only got one meal of Protein in (a Protein Shake on my way into work) because I was never hungry from constantly eating chocolate through the night (oohhh and the scoops and salsa that were on the nurses station) didn't help that it was an insane horribly busy night.

Oh well - today is already going better (maybe the no chocolate for Lent will end up being just the 'cleansing' that I need)

Today:

S: slice of baked brie - last little wedge

B: mocha protein shake

S: carrots and dip

L: 6 oz bolognese Pasta dish

D: (will be) some roasted red pepper Soup and if I need a snack - some beef Jerky or 100 cal popcorn pack.

Urgent question!! Does anyone know what has happened to Fitday.com? That is where I do my food journal and it helps me with my calories. When I go to the link or google it, it says it is a broken link. I have really relied on it. Thanks, any info. is helpful. Dot

i'm noticing a few things this week. Although my weigh in day is tomorrow i got on the scale today and was expecting a lb down...now that may or may not happen tomorrow...but as of now i'm only down .2.

I got really discouraged so i came on here and read what i've been eating. I realized that i haven't been making good choices- giving in to my cravings. I noticed i'm doing this more because i'm working out a lot and feel i "deserve it." UGH.

So i'm posting this on here so i cannot back out of a promise that i will make better- low calorie- choices Monday-Thursday (Fri-Sun I'll allow myself one meal of what i want each day--within reason).

SO please feel free to call me out next week if i don't honor it!!

Today:

b: dunkin donuts coffee (med) with skim milk and equal (50 cal)

b2: quaker granola bar (140 cal)

l: lean cuisine (300 cal)

s: if i'm hungry i'll have a south beach Fiber fit bar (140 cal)

d: i'll either have spanish chicken or a lean cuisine depending on my mood (300-400 cal)

Gym:

Going to lucille roberts today to take a "mega mix" cardio class.

Hey. Yes, it's all women. I like it because it has someone with every size/shape and age there. So i don't feel huge or stupid when i do something wrong. Plus the classes are fantastic! I'm from north jersey (like 5 miles outside NYC).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
