Small to some but great to me!!!!!!!

So I had what some might call a small victory last nigh, but to me it was a great one. My boyfriend has been working really hard in the studio trying to get another album finished, so he usually is gone before I get home from work and doesn’t come home until after I am in bed asleep. Well last night I was kinda lonely and missing him really bad. I mena I get home form work around 5:15, grab a bite to eat then it is to the gym, till usually around 9:00pm or so, so I don’t really ahve to much time to sit around and be upset that he isn’t there, but last night I just couldn’t get to sleep. So from about 10:00 till aorund midnight, I was just restless,a nd for me that means HUNGRY!!! But I was really proud of myself, no chips or cookies or ice cream. I ate a cup of sugar free jello!! only 10 calories and it satisfied my sugar/carb cravings!! I was extatic that I think I have finally really gotten this healthier lifestyle down!! It takes 45 days to make a true habit and I am on day 31 so I think I am getting there. So I felt very accomplished last night and was finally able to get some sleep!!!!!!!!!!

Much Better Today!!!!!!!!!!

thanks to everyone for all the advice and your concern. i ahve reworked my diet and I am going to take 2 days off a weeka nd not do a vigorous 3 hour work out int he gym. i can’t promise I will not do anything on those days, but it will be light!! I PROMISE!!! I am getting off work early today so I should make it to the deep water aerobics class in my gym and then I will fiish the day off with 30 minutes ont he treadmill and my Curves work out!!! That is not to bad especially considering I took yesterday off after a harsh talking to from my doctor!!!! and pretty much everyone on here and everyone else I know. I did stick to my 2,000 calories and I got in 1,800 so that is good for me. I feel much better and I got myself some Centrum so i could make sure to get my vitamins. I weighed in this morning and it looks like only 1 pound weight loss for this week  but my official weigh in date is not until tomorrow, so I am gonna hold out hoping that maybe I can loose one more. I am actually at 1.6 but it doesn’t do the fraction of a pound on here, so i am hoping to loose that last .4, so i can at least make 2 pounds this week. Wish me luck!!!

And I ahve to give a special shout out to Angela and Cindy cuz they we extra concerned and sent me soem really good advice, so thanks ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Bad Night Last Night!!!!!!!!!!

rn

I had my first bad night last night. Not that I ate bad or anything like that, but I just think all my pushing it finally caught up with me. I mean I am in no way anorexic or anything but I am jsut really sticking hard to my diet and after looking back over the last couple of days I have had only less than 1,000 calories a day. i guess when you are eating pretty much all salad and sugar free jello, it just doesn’t make the numbers.  So I had no energy yesterday!!! I went to Curves and pretty much passed out. I barely made it through. I wanted to go to the gym afterward but I just couldn’t. I was litterally on the couch crying becuase I was so upset that I couldn’t get in my full work out. Thank God for my sister!!! I called her and she gave me some great advice about ways to get my calories up without adding alot of fat and carbs, which I am watching. She (and my boyfriend) feels that I am just going to extreme and this was my bodies way of saying somehtign hasto give. Either give me more food, or do less in the gym. So I was pretty discouraged last night. my mind is there and pumped and ready to work out, and my body won’t let me. Soooo, I am going to lessen my diet restrictions a little bit, and get some good vitamins to hopefully get my energy level up. Hopefully I can still get in soem good work outs the rest fo the week, and get some weight loss in for the week. GO JAGS!!!!!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rnrnrnrnrn
Help!!!!
Okay so I have a completely obsessive compulsive personality, and lucky for me it seems to work on just about anything. So I am addicted to working out. I mean all I think about is going to the gym. How good I am gonna look when this weight is gone, and what my next workout is gonna be. I sit at work all day waiting for the time to pass so I can get home, gte changed and get to the gym. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, in my opinion that is a good thing, but the problem is, I am having a hard time on my food. Not that I am eating badly or succuming to cravings, it is just the opposite. I am having a hard time reaching my 2,000 calories a day. Plus with all this working out, my body is comstantly wanting food, but I don’t know what to really eat to be fulfilled and btu not blow my diet.I mean I am eating alot of salads and chicken breasts and veggies, but I need some good, high protein, low carb, low fat snack foods. Any suggestions???????????????

Vitalicious???

Has anyone ordered these. I have a killer sweet tooth and am looking for somehtign that still tastes good btu will not kill me. I mena I have been doing fine without, but I saw their ad on here, and I went to their website and they look pretty good with less than 100 calories, but I don’t liek the carb numbers. I mean I know they say you can subtract the fiber fromt eh carbs, btu I don’t liek doing that. I prefer to just stay under my carb amounts period!! Man i am liek the carb Nazi!! I am so hard on myself. Shame on me!!!

13 down!!!!! 87 to go!!!

I know I know, before everyone jumps on me, I know 13 pounds in one week is way to high, but I just started the 6 week program at Curves and it is said the first week the weight loss will be drastic!!! And it was. But just to be on the safe side I am going to raise my calories to 2,100 and make sure i don’t do more then 2 hours a day in the gym, I averaged about 3 and 1/2 hours a day last week.
