Another good day here... relatively. I'm in high school though so theres always some kinda drama that has to be going down right? whatever :) but good news people! i can feel the abs coming... under the layer of fat of course... but who cares! cause i can feel 'em!!!! the 600-700 crunches a night is finally paying off. if only it would cool down though so i could go running. I'm sorry but i do not run in 95 degree weather. it just aint gonna happen! I really love running on the tread mills and stuff but i just can't afford a membership anywhere :( Thats life though right? you dont always get what you want. Anyways...
So basically i ate the exact same things as yesterday with a few tweaks...
breakfast: 1/2 cup cheerios with 1/4 cup skim milk
lunch: 180 cal naturevalley bar; small apple
snack: jelly with banana b/w 2 slices bread
dinner: 3/4 cup black beans and rice; 1 serving polenta
and ya know what i've found really helps curve the cravings? coffee. just coffee with splenda and skim milk instead of cream is sooooo good and fills my tummy without a hefty load of calories :)
have a fabulous rest of the day people. and keep smiling : )
Happy days everybody :) the weather is still a little too hot for my taste but the sun is lovely and my cravings are way down! i've realized that classical music really soothes me and when i'm calm i'm not as hungry. nice huh? but lets see what have i eaten today...
breakfast:weight control oatmeal
lunch: 180 cal nature valley bar; apple
snack: 2 slices of bread with some jam and a whole banana (yummiest sandwich in the world!)
dinner: (which i'll be eating in an hours time) 220 cal black bean soup
yummo right? well everybody i hope your having as good of a day as i am :)
-So school started up again last week and with that comes some good and bad effects for my waist line. the good is that i hate being a mooch and if i dont have money with me i won't buy any more food than i've already brought so i can easily limit how much i eat in the day but the bad thing is i have really bad munchies when i get home. thankfully thats pretty easily controlled... especially since my periods over! (p.s. thanks for the encouragement RotundReality. it really cheered me up)
but i've been having trouble walking. usually during the school year i would walk about 4 miles everyday, or just about everyday, but right now its just so hard to get myself up on those hills again... especially in this heat. But i've been eating really good today
breakfast: weight control oatmeal
snack: 110 cal. special k snack bar
lunch: small apple; 180 cal nature valley bar
dinner: fat free 80 cal yogurt; 110 cal special k snack bar
so i'm feeling really good right now! i'll probably just do some crunches and squats tonight and face the heat tomorrow but hopefully i can resist the urge to eat till tomorrow! and have another good day and i just have to say it... friends are the best at times like these. i find alot of the time that i eat, not because i'm hungry, but because i feel like i'm not complete and part of me is missing. and the stuffed feelin of food helps for a little while, but then i need more and more and then i get depressed cause i feel fat. the only thing that can really feel that void is love and exceptance from God and friends and family though. its been hard for me to realize that but its becoming clearer though... fight the bulge people and have a great day!
breakfast:1 pckt oatmeal lunch:1/2cp bran and a small apple snack:southbeach diet protein bar dinner: bowl of low fat bean soup
sounds great huh? yea and then after that i went to a friends house to hang out and everyone there was eating pizza and i opted for some fresh fruit (melon) but then i came home... i blogged and then i was thinking to myself "well now, i'm a little hungry" so i ate a serving of cheezy baked cheerios chex mix... and then next thing i know i've eaten almost half the bag and one of those oatmeal bars! i more than doubled my fat and calorie intake for the day... i feel like crud. the worst part is that i'm going to the lake in the morning and my bloated tummy is gonna look pretty nasty in my microscopic bikini... plus i'm already on my period.
My munchies are out of control and now i feel so bad about myself i wanna go cry in a corner... and do 1000 crunches tonight. Learn from my mistakes people!!!
So its my first day on extrapounds.com I'm super excited and feeling pretty confident in myself right now, but part of that might be that i'm on a high from spending time goofing off with my friends. My biggest worries are that i'll get comfortable with myself again and stop pursueing the healthy lifestyle i need... and the great abs i want! Its gonna take a whole lot of self control i guess. If only life were easier...
My problem seems to be that when i'm having a great time with friends i get so high on life that i dont care anymore and give in to my cravings (like right now and i couldnt stop munching on cheesy cheerio trail mix) but then later when i'm at home alone i look at myself and get completely disgusted again. I know its a self destructive life style but for some reason i cant stop.
