no scale...
ok so i am not living where i currently live this week as i am house-sitting (weirdly)
so i don't have my scale.
so i don't know how much i weigh.
however. i am still trying to eat better and exercise more. so.
3.23.07
weight = ??
what i ate yesterday:
espresso (0 calories)
hard boiled egg (80)
sugar free applesauce (50)
big coffee with splenda & creamer (30)
palak paneer with rice (240)
apple (60)
diet pepsi (0)
luna bar (180)
3 chips ahoy cookies (160)
lean cuisine pizza (330)
1 1/2 cups steamed broccoli (82)
3 pieces of dove dark chocolate (126)
total calories for the day: 1338
also i took the d-o-double-g for a 45 minute walk, so that was good.
ok i am feeling good about yesterday, good to see that you can have a couple little treats and as long as you limit them, they can fit into a calorie-controlled diet. also i didn't realize how few calories broccoli has until i looked it up this morning! must remember that.
ok so the weekend is coming up but i think i'll be ok... fingers crossed that monday will have some good news on the scale!

so...
well at least we're going in the right direction...
03.14.07
weight = goal + 13
what i ate:
breakfast: yogurt with honey and almonds, coffee with vanilla flavored fat free creamer
snack: big coffee with splenda and creamer
lunch: big veggie burrito from qdoba, diet coke
snack: diet dr pepper
dinner: lean cuisine frozen pizza, heineken
so that's not too bad, right? except that i eat pretty much precisely NO fruits or vegetables.
anyway my lunch was pretty big (have you seen the burritos at qdoba?) and i ate it early (11am)... but i found that i didn't have my usual 3pm sweet craving. coincidence? i'm not sure.
also i went to the gym and ran 5k.
so i feel like i am at least toching the wagon now, if not actually back up on it. but i really need to get this under control and return to living like an adult.

a new day
well my life has been one crazy ride for the past few weeks... and the scale is showing the effects.
weight = goal + 13.5
and i have to say, that really is the upper limit for me. i have GOT to stop this upward trend. i haven't been going to the gym, and i've been eating ice cream just about every day, oh and also i was traveling for 2 straight weeks which meant eating out 3 meals a day... not good.
so.
things i am going to try:
1. rewarding myself in non-food ways.
for example, if i lose weight in a week, i get to buy a new book. when i get down to goal + 5, i get a trip to my friend ann's shop, and get to buy one thing, whatever i want. when i get down to goal, i get a new pair of running shoes.
2. not eating after 8pm.
3. brushing my teeth after eating lunch to counteract that must-have-something-sweet urge.
4. back to the gym (or outside, now that it is getting warmer) 5 times a week.
5. recording my food intake and estimated calories.
my mom is doing a weight loss group thing and having good success. i don't think i am going to join her but she sets a good example. since i am living there now it is good because they cook pretty healthy dinners in general.
sound good? sounds good to me. stay tuned!
