Wow, this is a terrible week. Not that I ate terribliably I have been on an emotional rollercoaster. It all started with the thought of the dreaded upcoming holiday. Valentine's Day without a valentine. In all honesty I know that I don't have the time for anything right now, and I don't really want anything either. But this whole love day stuff gets me down. And then there was yesterday........

I have been having a hard time lately dealing with an ending of a past relationship and I was doing rather well for me until yesterday when my supposed best friend decided that it would somehow make me feel better to tell me that the guy that I felt that I would spend the rest of my life with and I still had feelings for had just proposed to his new girlfriend who he has been dating for only 11 months (we dated for 3 1/2 yrs)

I just feel sick to my stomach.

here is a for you!!! You know in your heart it wasn't meant to be with him, but it sure does hurt to hear something like that. All I can say is time heals all. Some day you WILL find your Prince Charming and then you will understand that this other guy wasn't THE man. It's hard to explain, but when IT happens, you will "just know". I know that you've heard all this 1,000 times, so here is another . I hope that helps sweetie!
I hope everything else is going well for you. The snapple drinks are a great idea for getting that nutrition in while on a tight time schedule. Good for you!

Ok so I had a bad couple of days and I didn't eat healthy. But you can punish your self too much for it, it doesn't help anywa. It's done and over time to get back to where I was.

I read the package on the Milk and Cereal bar I have been eating today, 1 bar = 100 cal, 25 fat cal, 3g fat, 75mg sodium, 16g carbs, 10g sugar (not too bad one cup of kids cereal has 16g), and 2g of protein. That is of course the one that I have been eating, not all of them. And I think I will change the kind I am eating to Cherrios (sp?).

Just want to thank you sharon and everyone else for your support. It means a lot

As for the valentine thing, I had a fun night out w/ friends. And I send cards to my other single friends to brighten their day too. Kinda makes ya feel good. I am better now, just needed to vent a little. I am concentrating now on my attempt to get into the WDW College Program. Being a part of the magic how cool would that be?

 

[sharoncity]

So glad to hear you are feeling more , !
Way to just push those bad days aside and get back OP. Nice plan! Keep up the good work!

Not feeling well today (stomach), but still going strong. I had a Milk and Cereal Bar for breakfast and a Juicy Juice apple juice box. Planning on having a small lunch, because I do not feel good, and a Juicy Juice fruit punch juice box. Not sure about dinner. Maybe I'll go to my mom's tonight. Mom's food always makes ya feel better. (Or maybe it's because I don't have to make it myself )

I just keep singing the Shania Twain song "Up! Up! Up! It can only go Up from here!..."

spreading sunshine to everyone!

- I hope you get to feeling better and that you are able to get a smile back on your face. Here's a little for you. Mom's food can be very helpful to both your emotional and physical well being so be sure to get over there for dinner. We're all thinking of you, sweetie--get to feeling better!

 

[marsh0013]

hope you are feeling better and that mom's home cooking was yummy and soothing

 

[sharoncity]

I hope you are feeling better! Stomach bugs are just NO fun! Did ya get to Moms for dinner? That always helps ya feel better!
Take it slow and listen to your body if you still aren't feeling too good. I hope days are coming your way!

Today I had a better day I got some rest too. I think I needed that. Ok here's what I ate:

b: only 1/2 a cereal bar, still wasn't feeling good so I just ate 1/2 60 cal

s: pickles... mmmmmmm a low cal snack that taste good! and water 10 cal

l: soup 140 cal (gotta watch that sodium though)
and a juicy juice 100 cal

s: oops I had a reese's and water 200 cal (about)

d: Salad w/ Chicken and ranch dressing about 600 cal total
and a pop (soda) 110 cal

that's 1,220

20 cal over my target. (I am trying something new) I think it is called 90/10 diet. And I took the online quiz to see which one I should follow and it said the 1,200 cal one because I don't eat a lot as it is. i need to drink more water, and take in less sodium. I should probably also take a multivitamin.

OH well i'll do better tomorrow.

 

[DavidandDenise]

Hey! That doesn't look too bad. Trying something new never hurts. I'm glad you got some rest and you're feeling better. Oh, and, go POP! =) It's a region thing. Good luck on your new plan--don't let yourself get overwhelmed with the calorie counting. Have a great day!

 

[marsh0013]

just a suggestion...if you're going to follow a lower calorie eating plan, you may want to try to cut out the regular soda. i'd try diet (unless you know that you hate it and have to have regular). soda is just a bunch of empty calories. you could get more bang for your buck if you ate more nutritious foods. maybe try adding in more fruits and veggies too, they're mostly low cal, and they fill you up! just a suggestion

good luck with this new plan, hope it works out for you

 

[mickeysdsnyprncs]

Wow, have I been busy this past week.

I have been doing really well with my cal counting! Yea!

I also went to the grocery store and bought Healty Choice & Lean Cruisine frozen meals, and Lean Pockets. Most of them are 300 cal or less. So if I had 3 per day. Which I don't but if i did that would be 900 cal and 3 Juicy Juice drink boxes which are 300 cal (total, 100 each) that's 1,200 cal! Woo-Hoo. But usually I have something like this:

B: breakfast bar, bowl of cereal or new muffin bar (mmm...) 160 cal
Juicy Juice drink box 100 cal
S: apple or pear approx 25 cal
water 0 cal
L: Lean pocket or HC meal 250 cal (usually)
Juicy Juice drink box 100 cal
S: Pickles (mmmm..) 5 or 10 cal depending on how many I eat
water 0 cal
D: HC or LC meal : 300 cal
Juicy Juice drink box 100 cal
S: fudge bar (or something of the sort), or Juice drink, about 100 - 120 cal

Total cal: less than 1,200

Been drinking more water. Thanks to you all. Motovation is key. Thanks!!

 

[mickeysdsnyprncs]

Also I don't usually drink soda. Hehe Soda, I am from Chicago and we don't say soda. So it sounds a little funny, we say pop. But i like soda better, the word.

 

[sharoncity]

Good to see you are doing so well! The frozen meals are an excellent choice with your busy life. Now you can eat healthy while on the run! And getting the water in is a huge step in the right direction. You'll be surprised how it can become a habit. I can honestly say, I pretty much only drink water or black coffee. Not just while I'm dieting, but all the time. I got used to it in college and have just stayed with it. Once in a while I'll have a diet soda or iced tea, but not more than once a week.
Keep up the good work! I'm glad you had a chance to check in!

The frozen meals are great! They taste good, they come in their own little dish and I use plastic "silverware" so NO DISHES!! YEA!! That is own of my least favorite things to do is dishes.

Thanks for stopping by Sharon

 

[mickeysdsnyprncs]

ok here's today so far: (will edit later for rest)

B: Cherrios milk and cereal bar 160 cal
Apple Juice drink box (MM) 90 cal

L: Trky, Brcli & Chs Lean Pkt 230 cal
Water 0 cal

S: Sun Chips (1 oz.) 140 cal
Water 0 cal

(I skipped the 2nd juice box because I was having Sun Chips, I got hungry and didn't have any fruit with me, so I had to resort to the vending machine. But I am drinking water instead)

So that's 630 cal that's great. That means I can have a snack later and dinner and probably even dessert. Now that I calculated I don't feel so bad for the chips. Yea!

ok to add the rest:

s: 2 small pickles 10 cal

D: HC Beef Roast meal 320 cal
w/ carrots and apple crisp
Juicy Juice Drink Box 100 cal

and I can have one more Apple Juice box is 90 cal

For a total of: 1,200 cal

Yea! & I am not hungry either

I had 24 oz of water today which is actually good for me, but I am stil trying to add lots more. I think I will have water tongiht before bed.

Goodnight all.

 

[marsh0013]

glad you found those hc and lc meals. they can be a life saver when you're low on time, and i know that most of the time, that describes you perfectly! you're doing a really good job sticking to your plan, keep up the great work

 

[DavidandDenise]

you are doing very well! I'm glad you have found something that works for you. The frozen meals were a great find for you. Good job on adjusting to the hunger while out yesterday--you made a good choice from the vm. Keep up the great work! Have a wonderful day!

 

[sharoncity]

Excellent choice from the VM! Good for you! And that is so good that you are getting more water in to your day! It is really very good for you and no calories to boot!
Sounds like your day went very well! Hats off to you!
Here's some for your Tuesday!
TTFN-

[mickeysdsnyprncs]

ok, yesterday (Tuesday):

B: choc. milk 160 cal
cereal bar 160 cal

S: water 0 cal

L: LC lasagna 300 cal
water 0 cal

S: 2 sm pickles 10 cal

D: LC spagetti 380 cal
water

I was really full at the end of the day but today I didn't eat 1200 cal, it was only 1010 I didn't like that but oh well It is because I had mostly water to drink instead of juices too. and I didn't feel well due to something wrong w/ my elbow. Went to the DR. he gave me some meds and said it is a skin infection most likely. Xrays were taken and it is not in the bone.

Going to go now it hurts to type. Will visit others journals wehn my arm feels better. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for you lovely comments!

BTW I had 40 oz of water! Getting better.
