Renee's daily journal.....comments welcomed

sounds like you definitely had a nice little trip off the wagon

and when you say that we've all been there, oh believe me, yes we have. it's just so hard to stop once you start on a binge. like you said, we think "i've blown it already, why not make the most of it?" maybe we could try to work on that type of thinking. like, as soon as we eat something we shouldn't have, make that the new starting point, not wait for a new day. oh i don't know. maybe sometimes we just need to splurge for a day. i mean, in all reality, one day is not a big deal. we have to live our lives, and sometimes that means enjoying lots of food. as long as it's an occasional thing, it will not cause us harm. if we're in this for life, we definitely have to allow ourselves some days that will be worse than others. because this is not a diet. it is a new way of life

hope you are feeling better, and here's to the start of a new on-plan day

Thanks marsh.....
So tpday was a bit weird eating wise.
I had no (B) or (L). which I know is bad but trut is I got to painting my kitchen cabinets and there was no stopping me.
Prob. cause I want to finish this before kids got home.
SO before I knew it it was 4 30 and everyone was home cabinets were wet a nd I was pooped!
told hubby we have to go buy dinner. Thank god I went. cause I had that thought process of I didnt eat anything I could eat a big mac now!
Did all my good thinking ont he way.
I oreder the salad!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
BUT. did a few fries on the way home. DD didnt finsih her burger so I ate half of that with no bread.
headed out to the gym and bought welches no sugar ice pops.
I ate one of those and had a small piece of cheese cake suger free.
Thats my day i am so tired still
Oh but I did my new kick boxing tape. LOVED IT
till tomorrow,
renee

 

[marsh0013]

wow, no b or l?? i think i'd pass out . but i can see how that happened, i know that i've forgotten to eat dinner in the past when i get so wrapped up in my computer (although...that was more in my lazy days where i wasn't paying so much attention and going through so much of a planning process with my food). but still, you get wrapped up, you forget to eat. oh well. not gonna kill ya once in a while.

and you had time to do your kickboxing tape too!!! i'm so glad that you enjoyed it! i've never tried kickboxing, i may have to check it out for a crosstraining day.

hope you got some rest last night, and have a great day today

Hi Marsh.......noticed the WW switch on the boards huh! If you read there today, you'll see the problem so far........Although my first day I really have to get used to this system!
I just realized I had consumed 30 points today and only had two meals!!!!!!!

FOrget yesterday, lol. that was worse........
I used yesterday as my transition day and anything went.

I had MD for lunch a small burger and fries and then hit the kitchen again (painting) with my friend......Of course we started with OH! we have to feed th kids quickly its gettingl ate.....so she order 2 domino's pizzas.
Had two slices of that.
late night as I started to paint so more, I remember eating oreos and cheese crackers........
A total nightmare.



Anyway today
(B) hot pocket breakfast burrito =7
coffee with half and half=1
(D) BK chicken sand fries and Onion rings =22

Thank god for the flex points!

Tomorrow will be better. there will be no painting and hopefully back to a normal day.

 

[wiskband]

Got on the boards early this morning and after reading a reply on my thread, i decided to go back to low carb!
I know I know, I am a shmuck but, this type of decisionmaking is part of my personality! I am never good at making decisions. Also, I am impatient. If somethign is not working I change it, find it, etc.
I decided that I missed LC after just one day but also came to a few observations about my behavior in the past month.
I began drinking caffinated coffee not good on LC. I have been staying up later which means more snacking low carb or not that cant be good, and I have eliminated WATP. These are three things that have been missing the past month. Gonna start back up and even be better on the weAkends.

I think the past month especially the past week, I have just been caught up in an emotional frenzy! but no more. I realized how much I miss my foods that I have gotten so used to.

I think I may have it straight this time!
(b) hot pocket breakfast burrito , not a good choice but this was before my revelation!
I had no lunch but ate dinner ealry which was my very missed one scrambled egg bacon cheese on atkins bread! WOW a few days without that I was feelingit!
I ate 2 atkins peanut butter cups and one sugar free jello and went to curves. drank all my water and DEcaffinated coffee.
Anyway I will do my 3 mile WATP tape tomorrow if it kills me! Cant now got to get to bed early!
till tomorrow.

[marsh0013]

hey renee, you've been a busy little bee, going from low carb to ww, then back again. hey, it's a journey. you've gotta figure out what works for you. i guess since you're so used to your low carb lifestyle, a change to ww is pretty tough, i can see why it wouldn't work out for you. the plans are soooo different. but hey, you tried it out. at least you cna't second guess yourself now! good for you for doing what's right for you

 

[wiskband]

Well its late Sunday night.....I haven't been on since thursday I beleieve and I have been bad!!!!! But not gonna continue this..... getting back on track this week. I cant even begin to list the things I have eaten. I couldnt remeber it all nor do I want to!
i am just gonna put it behind me and begin again tomorrow. Onward and Downward.
till tomorrow.
renee

Hi Renee,

I'm just stopping by to see how you are doing and my heart goes out to you. It can be difficult to find the right plan. Resisting temptations can be hard too. I am confident that you will find and stick to what is right for you. Please take care of yourself and like you said, today is a new day. All we can do is put the past behind us and look forward with hope and a renewed sense of determination to what lies in front of us.

 

[marsh0013]

hey renee, sorry you didn't have a good weekend wood-wise. but like you said, today is a new day, so just go forward from right now. hope it wasn't too hard to get back on track

 

[wiskband]

renee

Hey Marsh.......
thank you too for checking on me! Yes I have already put it behind me Today was real good you will soon read. thanks again I look forward you anyone readin my thoughts!
renee

Today was definitely a good one! Felt like I was back to my old self!
(B) slice of atkins toast with cream cheese
(L) more like a snack, I had a few slices of pepperoni and cheese.
(D) I had a salad with grilled Cx and half an avacado.
Throught the day I had 3 atkins peanut butter cups and few cups of coffee and my reg. water.
I went to curves and just finished my 3 mile WATP tape! Finally after about 3 weeks I did it! and I skipped te 2 mile and went right back to the 3 mile. It really did feel good. Its just getting myself up and doing it thats hard. 45 minute s out of my day isnt easy. I make no excuses though, if I can;t do it during the day i will do it at night like I did this evening. I keep telling myself during the day to remember how I feel in the moment so I will do it again tomorrow.

Twp very good things ahppened today, I spoke with a friend who is interested in losing weight. As I told her my journey so far and tried to inspire her, I relaized I really have to get on track. Here I am telling her how great LC is and how good I feel and I have been slacking do hard lately.

Also, while at the gym , I spoke with the gilr who works there, whom I have become good friends with and she began telling my how she plateaued for about 3 MONTHS!!!!! my goodness here I am a 6 weeks and freaking out! and I cheat so much. anyway I really felt like there still hope. She sais once she broke this plateau the pounds just came right off!.
I made myslef a cheesecake with slenda so i am looking forward to that later this week.
till tomorrow with more great news.
renee

 

[marsh0013]

yay renee! you sound like you are definitely back on track, and that you're feeling all sorts of positive about it

i'm so proud of you for getting to curves AND getting in the watp! i know the feeling of just not wanting to start, or being able to find the time, but once you get going, then it's easy! getting started is the hardest part

that is so great that you had 2 encounters that are helping you to feel better. it really is great to know that there are other people out there going through the same thing you are. you're well on your way back to healthy living...the pounds will come off, even if not right away. you're gonna break through that plateau, and when you do, the pounds will slip right off

hope you have a great day
