Thread: keeping tabs on my self!

well yesterday was my BAD! day.. i cheated beacuse i was upset at a gain back. when after i cheated i realized all that was going to do is make it worse i dried my tears and set forth makeing sure to do better.. now im watching my cheese consumtion, not even eating low car bread

lastnight dinner -big helping of broccli & cauliflower(steamed) 1 grilled chicken breast
BIG BIG hand full of celery cut up w/ 1tbsp sour cream, drank 33 oz of water w/ dinner

breakfest i had 2 eggs 1 piece of sausage -went to work and for a snack had some bacon (bettern than grabbing a french fry-

lunch today i had a salad consisting of lettuce
2 slices cucumeber 1tbsp shredded cheese 1 hardboild egg and steak topped w/ ranch dressing

unsure of dinner tonight.. i did not eat all of my salad for lunch .. brought it home w/ me .. so maby some fish for dinner and salad..

i didnt work out yet today.. gave my self 24hrs off... im going tonight to weigh in... and have my body fat index thing done.im compareing to last year at this time.. heck any improvement will be good..
ps buying prego test.. (2months late i dont need that added stress right now.. hopefully its just due to change in diet

wish me luck as for im basicly restarting after almost 1 month of not realy knowing what i was doing .. just trying to read lables..

"think thin"

Well this day ended up to be a much better day than yesterday. come to find out the scale i was weighing my self on at the gym is broke.. was weighing 5lb heavy for the past week... had my body fat index done... last year it was 33.5
today it is 31.5 % WOOOHOOO

I lost 5lbs since they weighed me on charts wich pretty much was what i weighed 1-1-04
o cam deal w/ dropping my weight5lbs and my body fat index 2 points.

for dinner we ended up going out.. the resturant was a bad experiance w/ both of my the kids w/ the french fries they want ect. and the kids sitting near us being anoying ..anyway.. i orderd a burger from the menue and salad bar .. burger came w/ mushrooms onions and peppers.. and cheese. my husband said not to get it w/ out the bread he would eat it.. well it came and the cheese was stuck to bread so i didnt eat my cheese.. anyway.. had a salad w/ black olives pepper rings 1spoon of hard boild egg green peppers and one spoon of cheese, the salad was baby greens and mesclin (spelling)i had 2 spoons of clam chowder.. (bad me) but it didnt even taste that good after all.. and i felt yuckie after eating them... (in my head)

i love this way of life..
tommrow another day and i will do better...

drank a total of 105oz of water.. and been peeing like crazy!
keep on keeping on

well my dizzyness contiues. i will be calling dr today, my apitite has gone way down since it started... helps w/ portion controle but i know im not eating enough. slacked on my journeling this weeknd due to being sick. cheated very little.. everything will have to go back to streight and narrow when i see the dr if he says its okay. i did pass up mac N cheese at my parents sunday lunch, (i swear my dad was trying to break me) their menu consist of stuff chick breast fruit salad baked mac n cheese or mac salad and green beans.. (i made califlower soup) i didnt eat anything i shouldnt have, my plate looked naked,, took stuffing off chicken and ate just green beans and my soup...

being sick helped keep me out of stuff. what i had filled me up.. and i didnt have to do seconds on veggies i was FULL.

well i weighed in today... even tho i told myself i would just waite till the 1st of march.... now im wishing i would have waited...
i GAINED 6 LBS.. i seriously had to pull my self together befor i walked out of the office at the gym beacuse i was rdy to start crying
when i came out everyone was like "well???" beacuse i had done so good during induction..
i think i need to watch the replacement things im useing... the low carb breads and no more bars for the next week.. hrmm the gain also came after i started eating those dannon low carb yougarts and drinking LC milk... i dont know what to stop... it could also be that my water consumtion is down some due to this cold... grr... ohh well tommrow is another day.. who knows i will weigh in just out of curiousty..but i wont let it bother me if it is the same.. if its much higher i will ...

been doing good today.. only had 1 slice of LC bread.. and 1 bite of a LC bar beacuse as i was walking out the door it fell out of my hand.. hrmm nature is trying to tell me something..

had turkey salad w/ celery over a baby green salad.. for dinner i had a cajin casarol LOW CARB... no rice just chicken and kelbasa and spices... some cream and stock.. some pork rinds on top for crunch..and used some atkins bakeing mix to coat chicken. and to thicken sauce..

i had 1 LC yougart today as snack

Well today was my BAD... day.. no no .. my HORRIBLE day... i consumed a weeks worth of carbs easy, drank not even 1/2 my days worth of water... and didnt exersize... and what did i gain from that.. ALOT... a sick stomach, sleepyness, heart burn, unsatisfied feeling, and disapointment!!!!!!!!

tommrow im going on a 4 day induction. w/ only allowing my self 3 oz if that of cheese. No treats no suggar free anything i will have to flush my body of all the bad things i ate. My son's scout banquet was tonight.. the food wasnt even that good.. but was talking w/ another family we all were just eating fork full after fork fulll... befor i knew it i was putting seconds on my plate.. then i was digging into cake.. OHHHHHH i need hand cuffs and wire mesh for my mouth... and a day by day w/ me suport buddy.. ohh well not going to happen.. i just need to pull out that high school picture of me at my goal weight.. i dont want to damadge my self i had done so good.. and all gone in one night.. now i will spend the next week or so makeing up for it.

i was going to weigh in on monday but i think i better not.. i dont need anything to discourage my self.. but then agin maby i should beacuse if i see how i hurt my sefl it will keep me from cheating agin...

well maby it will work as a SHOCK to my system.. and will kick me back in to a loss in a day or two.. i doubt it.. and even if i do.. i wont let it go to my head and thing ohh i can cheat and kick my self in to gear agin..

i need to stick to this beacuse this is the only way i can better myself and become ME

Well Tommrow is my big day. The board will be goofy all day probly. Im guessing by evening it should be somewhat stable. My apointment is at 3pm. I'm so worried! I know they are going to throw me for a Ton of tests. I just hope nothing to expencive. Still havent recived notice if this one insurance company will cover me. I was trying to get insurance befor i went to a dr. (beacuse im one who worries about everything) beacuse its easier to get an insurance company to cover a health condition if it is found after you use them as coverage.

I almost 100% doubt im pregnant. But 6 months w/ out anything is a long time to go. I had not taken a test in just over 1 month. and had taken 4 befor. I dont know if im redy to face any thing more major than being prego tho...

At least i can talk to the Dr about my WOE, and my weightloss. Maby this is all i need. is to drop a little bit more and my body will come back around. Or maby it is my body telling me it couldnt handle anymore weight ESP a pregnancy.

well we shal see... maby ill have a huge whoshh tonight and will be amazed when i see their scales...

oh well..
one day at a time. one step at a time!
