…I am going to be gone for 10 days starting Thurs, 7/31.  Just wanted you all to know so when you saw I wasn’t logging on you would not have to wonder.:)   I will miss you all!  I hope you all have a successful week!!!:D 

Yep I’m sick and tired of eating.  It’s been two weeks of eating and eating and eating some more.  Ick!:p  I am feeling it too!  It’s time to get back on track, really do it this time.  I cant keep doing this to my body.  It’s not healthy and I know it.  I can tell a difference in how I feel since I’ve been eating this way.  It’s time (past time really) to get back on track.  I hope to go monday to the grocery and get some healthy things to eat.  It’s been so hot here and fruit sounds really good.  I also need to get something healthy to eat for lunch.  Chicken nuggets and corndogs just don’t cut it!! lol:)  Any suggestions anyone???

 Well, I hope this is a fabulous week for everyone!  WE CAN DO IT!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!:D   

That’s what I’m doing today.  My one stressful day turned into a stressful week, and I have eaten so much!  I know I have to find a different way to deal with stress.  I’m feeling much better now though.  Some days I handle things better than other days.  I have not weighed because I am afraid of what the scales will shout at me.  But I probably will soon. 

Today my main goal is to stick to my 1600 cal limit.  If I can do that, I will feel like I have had a successful day!:)

Breakfast:  3/4 c. honey bunches of oats cereal (130)+w/ 1oz almonds (160)+1/2 c. skim milk (45)=335 calories

Lunch: (strange combination) 5 chicken nuggets(220)+1 Tbsp BBQ sauce(35)+ 1oz Light Tostitoes(90)+w/ 1 slice pepperjack cheese(70) melted on top+salsa(25)=440calories

Total calories so far: 775  Calories left:825

Ok, I am not going to put everything that I ate down here, bucause I don’t have much time to be on here.  I am having company tomorrow and am really busy, but I just wanted to say that I had a little more then I was going for today.  I had about 1700 cals and my goal was 1600.  I am dissapointed in myself.  Even though compared to the rest of the week that is really good!  lol:D  I will get it right soon.  I know I will! 

Hope you all had a great day and have a fabulous day tomorrow!  

…but I guess I will try a little harder to exercise control!:)  I have had a stressful day and thats when I want to eat the most!  I have had my limit today, so no more eating for me!  I think I could eat everything in the kitchen if I let myself! lol:)  It will get better though.  I just have to make it through the rest of the evening.  I know I can do it!  I feel better already just blogging this! 

I haven’t got to walk today.  It has been wet out.  Not to mention that I really have not had a chance to.  Been gone most of the day. 

I hope everyone has good rest of the day!  Looking forward to a fabulous day tomorrow!!!:D

I can’t believe the fourth is already here and gone!  Where does time go???  Anyway, I hope everyone had a safe and happy fourth! 

I didn’t counted my calories on the fourth, but still feel pretty good about how I ate.  I know it’s not the same as counting calories, but volume-wise  I did great!  I was SOOO hungry most of the day!  And when I did eat, I only ate until I no longer felt hungry.  So, since I never got very full, I got hungry fairly quickly after eating.  I figured if I was that hungry all day, then i didn’t eat to much.  Does that make sense? lol:D  It’s not something that I like to do very often, but when it is impossible to track calories, thats what seems to work best for me!:p

As for tomorrow, I’m gonna keep track of calories the best i can, but have a feeling it’s going to be hard to do w/ my dads retirement party and everything.  We are going to be pretty busy.  But I don’t plan on binging(I don’t think I am spelling that right, but can’t think)!  Anyway, I will definitly do my best to avoid the C-A-K-E! :)  

As for the walking, I have not walked for the last 2 days.  I hope to again SOON though.  It makes me feel so good!

Well,  hope you all are doing well and have a wonderful Saturday!!! 

P.S.  if this blog is kinda choppy, it is probably because it’s 1am (7/5) and I can’t think straight! lol)

Are my scales really broke?  I ALMOST wish they were!:)  I’ve been doing really well this week, but they are to stubborn to go below 232.  Could they be stuck?  My weight had went back up a little when I binged a few days ago, but I expected that to come of pretty quickly.  That has come off again, but it seems to me like everything else is holding on for dear life!  I know it has just been 3 days, so I need to be patient.  I just want to see a lower number.  And I really want to get out of the 230’s!  Well, I guess I’ll give them another chance.  After all anyone or anything that will let me STAND on them deserves another chance,  right? :)  I will keep pluggin’ away at this weight loss thing, and hopefully one day soon they will quite being stubborn!          

So, today was a little bit tough, but nothing I couldn’t handle!  I took my daughter to the summer family movies this morning.  I really wanted to eat some of her popcorn, but had control.Lol.  My daughter and some friends wanted to eat at McD’s for lunch, so I just got a 6pc nugget kids meal.  I think it was empty calories!  I was so hungry by dinner!  I nibbled a little before, so I wasn’t so famished when I set down to eat.  That seemed to help.   I had to kinda estimate on some of my calories this evening, but feel sure my total was between 1500-1600 calories.  So I stayed within my limits.  

I didn’t get to walk today, but did do some crunches.  I hope to walk tomorrow.

This weekend is going to be tough.  Not just is it the fourth, but we are having a suprise retirement party for my dad.  Of course there will be good food and cake.  I know I can do it.  I just have to stay determined! 

My goals for tomorrow are a 1600 cal limit and walk 30 mins. ;-)      

Today was another good day for me.  I’m really hungry right now, but I am determined not to eat till I get up in the morning.  I know its not gonna hurt me to go hungry for a little while!:)  I stayed under my limit again today and had 1,425 calories.  I also got my 30 min walk in today and did some crunches and stuff same as yesterday.  So for tomorrow my goals will be the same as they were today.  

I hope everyone is having a great week!!!! 

Just wanted to say that I met my goals today!  I got out and walked for 30 minutes.  It felt really good.  It was a gorgeous day!  I also did a few crunches and things on my exersice ball.  I feel great!  I have only had 1,430 calories, which is 170 below my limit! YAY!:) 

Goals for July 1, 2008:

1.) 1,600 calorie limit

2.) walk for 30 minutes

3.) no eating after 7pm

This weekend has been a real challenge for me.  One that I’m afraid got the best of me.  I hate to admit it but, yesterday and today, the diet has not went well!  Yesterday we had the yard sale carried over from Fri.  So I got up at 6:30 yesterday morning and only ate a handful of almonds, which was my first mistake.  I should have eaten a nice breakfast.  So from then until 2:30 pm I didn’t really get a chance to eat.  And so when I did eat, I was beyond hungry, which is not good at all.  Then I snacked alot the rest of the evening.  I thought I would get back on track today, but didn’t.  We went to my mom and dad’s for dinner and there was this missive amount of food!  Mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, pot roast, corn pudding, bread, lettuce, carrots, noodles, ect!  AND there was pie for dessert!  Cherry and blackberry made from scratch!  SO….I overdid it a bit.  And of all the crazy things, I made a cherry pie this morning (I was going to take it to my moms before I found out she already made one), and so, when we got home, I ate some of that.  Not good!  I know there is no excuse for my eating this way.  It is my own fault.  I have to have better control.  So I’m going to do better tomorrow.  I will not let these 2 bad days throw me off!  

My goals for Monday, June 30:

*1,600 calories limit

*walk for 30 minutes
