TigerCheer2009's Lose 30 and Not Gain It Back Plan! (Add comments please!! Welcome!)

[calena]

A pound down already??? I'm jealous. Also.... good work with the exercise... you are beating me there too. Keep up the good work.

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Thank you, Calena! Exercise keeps me from eating. Also, I ran around for about three hours serving cranky elderly high school alumni!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

10 minutes of the Curves-esque workout! It felt good to exercise in the AM! Woke me right up!!

b: two slices stw (split top wheat) toast w/ 1 tsp butter (3), three ounces strawberries (3)=total of 6 points used today!

And guess what? It's another day! Time to start anew and keep going!

Good morning! At 10:30 in the AM, i'm opting for the Tuna/Cheetos combo as my breakfast and lunch. I was tiiiired. Going running again today, hopefully I won't get stung

 

[TigerCheer2009]

hi, Twinksie! I got up really early too. Alarm clocks are the worst-they wake me UP (even though that's the point, but give me a BREAK. It sets itself!)

Lunch: tomato soup* with reduced fat milk (one mug=2 points), baked potato* with a small piece of cheddar in it and tuna fish on top (2). I was originally going to have a salad with that dressing I made last night. Let's just say the birds would have a healthful treat this afternoon!
*Can't get enough of it!

Water: 48 oz this morning. Am off to read journals and do my Curvesesque workout with my new VBS music CD! It's called On the Job Praises by Standard Publishing for Construction Zone bible school! Should be fun.

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Combo of exercise: 8 minutes dancing, 3 minutes of the FIRM 5-day abs. See, I read this article that said if you split your exercise up into three segments of 10 minutes instead of a 30 minute session, you lose more weight because you stimulate the fat burning hormones longer and more frequently.

15 carrots for a snack. Dinner: I am gonna be making it right now. What am I hungry for? Hmm...anyway! My dinner was shockingly higher POINTS-wise than I expected. I had linguini w/ pasta sauce and smoked sausage. I totally misunderestimated my points. I came out and had to use 19 fps, with my APs included. I thought pasta was 1 so I had two cups, and sauce was a full cup serving so I had two! I didn't really use my flex points this week. I'm kinda trying not to rely on them as much, but I love having them there.

And that, my friends, is where I stop, regroup and get going again! I'm off to exercise! There's one day of school left!!!!!!!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Exercise: 13 minutes of jammin to my exercise mix!

 

[calena]

Last day of school today? Off for the summer. Sounds great. Keep up the good work on your exercise... you will meet your June goal so fast!

 

[TPCShauna]

Woo-hoo last day of school! I hear you on the counting errors. I've miscalculated points before and been all when I realized what I had done.

Way to go to get back on track!

I mean I love having tomorrow off but I have some awful news. Mr K, our awesome band director, may be leaving us. He wrote us a letter (and I mean nothing good happens if you write down a letter, because it's like a will, seriously) that said how six years ago when he was first hired, he came to twenty people at band camp who couldn't march. Now, six years later, we are best band in the land, and best band in Northwest Ohio, sizewise and skillswise. He told us how good he felt about us and how it would always be "our band" and that we owned it because it was our hard work to get us this far. He said that he wanted to be in education to change people's lifes. He doesn't get enough of that being dean of students, but he's aiming for principal. There have been rumors that our principal may leave too (which'd let K have the spot, and would make my new homeroom teacher leave too, I guess it's a husband and wife thing) It doesn't mean he's gonna get it, though. We've come so far. What makes me mad is that it's not OUR BAND without him!! I can't imagine losing him. I've grown so much because of him. I never would have tried out for squad leader if it weren't for him. He says that we'd get to help pick the new band director if he should get the job. But I'm thinking negatively because what if he takes away student leadership? I may never get to be a squad leader!! I can't think positively with this big issue looming over my head. I about broke down as I left the classroom that it might be the last time I see him in the band room! He'd still be here but it won't be the same. I NEED A HUG!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sorry about that, guys, but I need someone to talk to because if I don't I will stuff myself with food. Why would he DO that?
Oh...hi Calena. Yeah, it is my last day of school. Thanks for remembering. Hi to you, too, Shauna! I missed you. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
breakfast: 2 pieces toast w/ 1 tbs pb and an apple, Crystal Light (4)
lunch: hamburger and peaches (4)
snack: bread and butter sandwich at babysitting (5)

Water: not yet. I'm trying not to drink too much Crystal Light, though.

Exercise: walk home (5). I really don't feel like exercising today.

Theme song: melody of sad songs, and "School's Out for the Summer" by Alice Cooper

Challenge of the Day: Okay, I was at my babysitting kids' house and I was looking for a snack because I go right after school and I'm hungry. Well, I looked up on top of their fridge and what do I see? Lays Cheddar and Sour Cream chips!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't eat any. I talked myself out of it.

Thinking for the Day: Why does everything have to change? I was just getting used to it the way it was, then the tables have to turn. I get a new homeroom (we call it AA for Academic Assistance, everybody gets it) because there was too much crowding in my old one (it's without my best friend, of course). Mr K is possibly leaving. Because of my new AA, I have a new lunch time. I don't like change so much! Why can't everything stay the same?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conclusion: ya know, it's been a really bittersweet day today. And I am up for lots of hugs! It feels like the weekend.

Yayyyyy Jen! Lucky Ducky on the school. I have this week of full school, and then next week of 3 hour days for finals!!!!! Way to get back on track with those points! And the exercise! I've started running again, and Yoga everyday!!!

 

[Twinkles6892]

Hugs! I hope Mr. K stays with you guys!!!!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Thanks, Twinks. That's just what I needed. Hugs are great, you know! (I can always use more though if anyone is in the giving mood!)

Also thanks, "quack" and good job on the exercise go to Twinks for her first post from the Lucky Ducky! (Quack!) We had finals this week and today.

 

[Twinkles6892]

I had a really bad binging day
I ate:
Giant cup o' Ice cream with whipped cream
Spoon full of hot fudge
Hot dog
Root Beer
Little bag of Doritos



I guess I'm going to get off the computer and read some of "Feeding The Hungry Heart"

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Feeding the Hungry Heart and Come Thirsty are on my summer reading list!!! Oh, Twinksie. I'm sorry you had a binging day. Your hugs stopped me dead in my tracks. Our "Life Skills" (self explanatory) class said you had to have 8 hugs a day to survive!

Dinner: fruit and walnut salad from McDy's and no yogurt (2.5) and a Mcgrilled chicken sandwich w/ lettuce and tomato (7 ). A baked potato, too (1)

4 breakfast+4 lunch+5 snack+10 dinner=23 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! I'm under, I'm under, yeah!

**My only problem w/ McDonalds is that I order the dbl quarter pounder meal cheese and ketchup only with a large fry and coke. So that's where the line is drawn.

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Y'know, I just thought of something. I always like to say that I have faith in people. Like I just replied to gshoemate's hypogli-whatever thread and I said that I had faith that she could do this.

Has anyone ever noticed that having faith in someone is like: there are two cliffs, one is new habits and one is old habits. You are trying to help them make a switch to the side with you on it so you tell them to go to this shaky shake rope bridge with old worn out wooden planks and you tell them it's safe so go ahead and cross. But they don't believe you. So you are doing everything you can, bribing with Mickey Mouse Birthday Party Ice Cream (I wanna try some) and telling them that you have absolute faith that they will cross and be safe. But you can't convince them! you can't WALK for them. They have to take the steps. You're just there to keep them going in the right direction.

Anybody else ever have this thought or am I just a Nutso McNutball Nutballishieness? I don't know; I just thought of it and thought of you guys because we are all crossing that bridge and we gotta keep going in the right direction because we never know when the bridge will break! Keep motivating!

Good morning all! I think I failed the "sleeping in" part of my summer vacation. Look what time it is!~

But I was up this morning because SOMEBODY made an unexpected visit this morning. Three guesses and the first two don't count. Yes, you're right. TOM was here, bright and early, and on the first week of my summer vacation. I guess better now than later, like over the ALIVE church camping trip, or VBS. The PMS doesn't usually lie. Enough with the abbreviations.

"Dear TOM:
What a surprise to see you at my doorstep this morning. You sure do get around, don't you. Well, I just wanted to let you know that you put a damper on my whole week. Thank you so much. You're making me hungry for foods I can't have and don't want. You give me cramps. Just knock it off! As Megan put it, you are a pain in the abdomen and come back later when I want to have babies. These "practice runs" are what I don't like.
Oh, and thanks, really! for coming this week.

Jen"

Well, I was going to ride my bike to the library, but I can settle for a walk. Musn't aggravate the almighty TOM!

B: off to go enjoy it!

 

[contempgal]

Hi Tiger!! Sorry I've been MIA for a while...........always a pleasure though to come back and read your journal. You keep a smile on my face.

I know what you mean about not being able to sleep in. It's so funny, you want it so bad while you are having to get up in the wee hours but then when you get the chance, you can't actually sleep in. You realize that you will start getting used to sleeping a bit later and then you'll have to go back to school. Yuck!

Congratulations on losing another pound while I was away. Excellent job!

Sorry about TOM. We all hate TOM but I guess we have to deal. I think that's what makes women stronger, lol.

Anyway, have a great day! Enjoy your summer vacation, even if you can't sleep in.

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Thanks for popping in, Amanda!

To your first comment: egg-zactly!
To your second comment: thank you!
To your third comment: TOM is not your fault. Unless you control my body, and if you did, making him go away would be nice. I'd also want to know how you got control of my body, personally. But that's just me. And I totally agree with you-that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Guys never understand women; so THAT's what makes us stronger!
To your fourth comment: thank you and you too!

I admit it, I am in love with reading all my dear WISHfriends journals!!! The first step is admitting, right?

 

[lmhall2000]

Your band is strong because of the leader you've had and the crew you've become...if the leader goes ya still got the crew...change is rough, change is tough, but change will happen and it will make you a stronger person...I'm praying he gets the principal position there and you'll feel GREAT about it!! BUt take this hug and have a wonderful losing day..you're doing GREAT with your eating and journaling!!!
