I am SO hungry with the new schedule. Right now (10 AM) I am starving and really want to eat my lunch, but I know I will starve this afternoon if I do. :(
I think I just need to drink my coffee at home and eat breakfast once I get here or something. I came up here really early this morning, so that probably still wouldn't work.


Wow, it sure was raining when I left this morning. I want to be home napping. :)




Hungry, hungry day. I think a lot of this was probably boredom related because everything we did today was basically review for me from undergrad. Although that is probably a good thing it made me frustrated for driving in and wasting my time. Hopefully your day was better than mine. Lack of sleep didn't help either.

Also, my schedule is sucky this week and I am sorry for that. I have required activities both Thursday and Friday afternoons, but James will be out of town on Friday for a scrimmage. This means I have to go home to let the dogs outside on Friday. So, really Thursday evening (if you decide not to get drinks) or Saturday/Sunday. Either way is really fine with me. I'd hate for you to cancel plans on my account, but if you need an out, I'd be happy to oblige. :)

23/23

Daily: water, vitamin, fruits/veggies, protein, tracking, 8 hours. 6 today.

I don't think I will do the 8pm thing. It sounded like a great idea but I usually work out around 8 and I don't want to try and fit all my food in before I eat if I don't feel like it. I think I'll change it to exercising 3 times this week. I'm going to get a new cardio video tomorrow. I love the BL and the strength training video I have but I need one dvd that doesn't have lunges on it so I can have a some time to recuperate. I started the video today and my legs ached so bad I stopped.

Points: water, oil, F&V's, protein, NSV, tracking, sleep, vitamin, limited sugar/alcohol=9

Well, today was a rather emotionally draining day for me and my two medical school friends so we decided to feed our emotions with Wedge Pizza at lunch. While it is healthier than regular pizza, I still feel a bit guilty for not "sticking to my plan" today. I had planned on just eating lunch at home and following my not-eating-anything-I didn't-bring rule, but such a yucky/boring/dumb people filled morning called for a bitch session and some good food. At least I didn't get ice cream after like I really wanted to (NSV? I think so!).


And I am seriously ready for fall because it is WAY too hot to run outside right now... So much for getting all those AP's....

I didn't get much sleep last night due to some anxiety invoked insomnia, so needless to say, I've been a big grump all day. I just accidentally took an hour and a half long...oh well, at least I didn't continue eating. lol.

23/23

Weigh-in: I lost 1.6 pounds!!! I lost 1/2 an inch from waist, bust and thigh. I actually reached my goal this week. I worked out 5 times this past week! I ate on plan on week. I did not go to my meeting today. I just went to weigh-in because I went to look at the house again and I made a real offer this time. I plan on going later on this week to actually sit through the meeting. So I guess that's 18 for me!

Daily: water, vitamin, fruits/veggies, protein, 8 hours, limited sugar/alcohol, tracking. 7 for the daily.

My new goal for the week is to stop eating after 8pm. I seem to eat a lot at night and I know that's not that great for you. If I plan my points more I won't have to squeeze points in right before bed.

Any idea what day you want to get together? My friend Betsy asked me to get drinks on Thursday but I can say no if that night will work you.

DAY 41-MANDA

I've been trying to avoid the computer a bit this weekend just because I know what is coming on Monday....sorry about that. I don't feel good about yesterday's eating. I didn't get any of the important dietary needs. I basically just ate crap, but that's all that was really available to me.

Also, I just realized the bread I bought the other day (I got 2 loaves even!) is not the light stuff....1 point per slice... I am trying to tell myself that's a good reason to not eat it.... I love bread too much.

I might have to try the rice crispies! They sound really good! I do like cereal a lot.

Also, Marrissa Jaret Winokur has a new blog up on the TINspiratioin link and I've added a new blog that looked interesting about a girl like us trying to train for a triathalon--it is pretty inspiring because she is just starting with her weight loss journey so she is by no means a pro-athlete.

I think for the rest of the week I am going to try and stick to mainly filling foods/core foods/whatever WW is referring to them as now. When I do this I feel much fuller and better about my eating. No more junk this week.

I just realized that my goal of reaching 200 APs by the time school starts is coming to an end and I still have a ways to go. I think I am going to be linient on myself and say that since tomorrow is just orientation that school doesn't TECHNICALLY start until Tuesday, and I will give myself all of Tuesday to count in that goal. So....26 AP's by Tuesday Evening. I think I can do it. I better go get on it!
(Hey, now I have something to take my mind off of the impending doom!--YAY!)
