hey

Well I've decided to start over because, I'm bored with this one. So check my new one :)

day 116;117 - note;food/exercise diary

Well, I can't find a camera but the bathing suit top is similar to this (different colour) and the bottom is similar to this (different colour and it's a smooth top, not with the bit that hangs).

Haven't eaten much the last couple of days. Mixture of being busy and not hungry.
And although I don't normally count it, I'm hopefully going to start counting adult fun... It's going to be a pain timing it though...

day 116 - note

Well, the last few days I haven't really watched what I've eaten or counted calories (I was really craving burgers and onion rings the last few days).
I'm also planning on buying a bathing suit tomorrow since as long as plans stick, I'll probably be swimming quite a bit this summer and the only one I have doesn't look right. it's brown with a little pirate skull and cross bones that I bought 4 or 5 years ago because it was on sale for $5... but the bottoms don't tie right and the top makes it look like I have no boobs. Plus, it always comes undone even if I double knot it... The bathing suit I was looking at today (I didn't have $ on me or I would have bought it) was a black bottom with attached skirt and a turquoise animal print band around the top and a turquoise animal print top that's pretty much a bra aside from the clasp with padding for pus up. I haven't tried it on yet so I'm not sure if it works with my shape but I'm planning on looking at a few other stores as well tomorrow. I'd do a video when I got it but my web cam is messed and although the computer knows it's there and the sound works on it, there's no video. I'll see if I can find my moms digital camera, but I'm not holding my breath...she can't remember if she got rid of it or not. But anyway, I'm weighing myself tomorrow then maybe again every 2-3 days because my goal is at least 130 (almost 20 lbs if not more) in about 60 days...so that's 1 lb every 3 days right? Sounds fun. I'm hopefully going to be able to control my calories during that time, walk 2-8 km a day and burn a min of 200 on the wii...hopefully the batteries hold out that long... I should also try and find a hula hoop to work on my waist some to help it shrink. Or would just the motion work? If anyone knows, let me know will ya?



*****edit***** Well, I can't sleep so decided to see if I can find some good workouts for the wii fit so I don't waste time and found what appears to be a great website (WiiFitRoutine). I got 6 workouts off of that that I'm going to use coupled with walking and we'll see how far I can get with that.

April 4: 154.2
April 18: 148
=(-6.2)

so for the first 2 weeks I had roughly 1300 cals/day and lost 6.2lbs.
I'm trying to lose about the same over the next 2 weeks so I need to burn about the same and have about 1285 cals a day. But I can't go outside for a walk because it's been cold and damp and I've got a chest cold. But still good for a start.
Or I could slow down the weight loss and have 1392 cals a day which is my bmr at 123lbs

If anyone wants to know what my moms eating (which I'm sure you care for what she's eating just as much as you care what I'm eating), let me know and I'll post hers when ever she writes it down (which she tries to do every day).
As for ages, I'm in my early 20s, my moms in her mid-50s.
The next weigh in is going to be May 23.

day 93 - note

So haven't started that contest between my mom and I yet. She wanted to wait to see if they were going to have it at work this year but apparently they aren't. So we're starting tomorrow. Hopefully.
Although I have started walking again. Somewhat. I had to walk roughly 5km Friday and another 6 yesterday. My feet are killing me from Friday though. Winter boots were not made for walking.
I think when my mom and I do start the contest though, I'm thinking eat maybe 500 calories that aren't considered negative calorie, drink 2+ ltrs of water, and walk a min 4 km a day (if the weather stays fairly nice. atm I only need a sweater during the day). I wanted to start wearing a pedometer but mines messed up and I can't get it working. It won't track properly. I can walk from my room to the bathroom which is 15 steps and I'm lucky if it says I took one step. I think I'm going to have to look into getting a new one unless I can figure out how to fix this one (if anyone has an active2010 and knows how to set it, or knows where you can get a free one in Canada, let me know please).

day 81 - note

I probably won't be posting again until April 1st at least. Then I'll most likely only put what I eat/drink that day but I'm probably not going to figure out all the cals for them. And in the mean time, I guess I'll start attempting to drink 2 ltrs of water a day again.

day 80 - note

Hey people. I haven't been counting calories. It's been too much of a pain as the only food in the house right now is junk, but starting April 1st both my mother and I will be having a contest lasting until July 1st based on the measurements on the chart titled "HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT" (along with bf%) with our goal weights being 123 (for me at 5'5 w/ 2" heels, mdm frame) and 116 (for my mom, 5'3 w/ 2" heels, mdm frame) and the contest is based on % of the lbs wanted to be lost (for example, if to get to the goal weight one of us would need to lose 20lbs, 2 lbs would be 10%).
The majority of the food will most likely be fruits and veggies (hopefully there'll be cottage cheese as well with green grapes or blueberries and baby spinach). And with the weather beginning to warm up again I'll probably be going for walks again by then.
BTW, yes, I realize that the weight chart is from 1959, but even based on BMI they still roughly fit into the "normal" range (with my mom at 5'1 116 would put her bmi at 21.9, with me at 5'3 123 would put my bmi at 21.8). But keep in mind that this is with clothing which in my experience can weigh up to about 5 lbs.

****edit**** The only time either of us will step on a scale or measure ourselves will be at the start (April 1st), mid-point (May 16), and the end (July 1). Unless we're sewing clothing for ourselves. Need measurements for that. But I doubt we will be.

day 72 - note

I haven't bothered updating here for quite a while. Obviously. I just haven't been in the mood.
I was in the 140's for the first 9 weeks this year. Then one of my nephews stayed for the week and as he's picky and as his food is so expensive, we got pretty much no healthy food. So I went back up to the 150's (gained 4lbs! that week). I went back down to 151 though during this last week so hopefully I'll be back to the 140s by next sat. But I'm beginning to think my body likes it's size. I was found some journals from 2008/2009 and although I was about 135 my measurements were pretty much exactly the same with bust and hips being 37, waist between 28 and 30 and thigh being 22.

day 71 - food diary

3 apples (240)
1 pkg mr noodles (380)
1 slice summer sausage (50)
2 ltrs water (0)
=approx 670 cals

day 43 - note

I had 13161 cals but gained 3.8 lbs which is equal to 13300 cals So it's gotta be a fake weight....

day 36 - note (mostly rambling about sh*t no one cares about...like my food journals)

Too bad I only kept track of calories once this week. I stayed at the same weight so knowing how many calories it took to stay would have been nice.
But the one day I did keep track was almost 1300 so maybe I'll try for 1200 this week and see where that takes me.

So if I have 1200 cals each day that's  8400 calories this week.
0.2 lbs=700 cals.
So if I lose weight this week I'll add 700 cals for every 0.2lbs I lost to my weekly total then subtract 3500 from that, divide by 7 and I'll know how many cals I should try to stick to in a day to lose 1 lb a week.
And if I gain weight this week I'll subtract 700 cals for every 0.2lbs I gained from my weekly total then subtract 3500 from that, divide by 7 and I'll know how many cals I should try to stick to in a day to lose 1 lb a week.

So that means if I have 1200 cals a day this week and stay the same thats
((1200x7)-3500)/7=(8400-3500)/7=4900/7=700
and that's practically starvation cals...So hopefully I don't stay the same...or gain since that would give me even fewer cals a day and may have to change it so I can have more cals and lose less since I can't start burning more a day yet due to coldness and snow. Let's hope it starts to warm up and the snow melts soon.

And I'm going to try to count cals, even if it's just approximate. That way if/when I stay the same again I can take off some more cals from the total I can have a day or add to what I have to burn a day. When I can start going for walks again I'll start with 30 mins a day 5 days a week (since most weeks I do go for a half hour walk twice when I come home from bfs and I'm there most of the day anyway...)

day 33 - Feb 02, 2011 - food diary; note

Hey guys. So the Skinny Girl Diet didn't workout. But I was thinking, why am I doing this? Why do I try to practically starve myself just to lose weight? And the calorie counting? Measuring? It's annoying and I waste of time. So, I'm going to drink my water, try to watch serving sizes and be more active. Now there's still snow out there and it's freezing so I doubt I'll be more active. But anyway...
So I've drank 2 ltrs of water today.
I got up about 10 and at noon I had 2 slices of toast with jelly (300 cals)
around 4 I had 1/4 box of white cheddar kd, 1/4 can of tuna and 1 lrg gtea w/1m 2sw (303)
around 7 I had another 1/4 box of white cheddar kd and 1/4 can of tuna (280)
around 1030 I had oatmeal w/ brown sugar (410)
So I've had 1293 today. I'm going to keep up with it like this. Saturday is the next weigh in and I'm going to continue going like this for the next week. Then I'll add up and calculate approx daily calories it took to get to where ever (whether I stay, lose or gain) then just figure out if I need to cut calories or anything. If I stay I'll cut 250 cals, if I gain I'll figure out how many calories it took to gain that and subtract it from total then cut it by 250 and if I lose I'll stick to those calories. Not getting to eat what I like is getting annoying and I hate how when I cheat by having pudding or cake or anything like that I class it as a cheat day.

day 21 - Jan 21, 2011 - food diary(SGDD01); note

so I haven't been on much. I've either barely been eating or I've been binging. But that's what I get for taking my meds even though I know they make me worse. But anyway my new cycle has yet to start (and I'm not pregnant so I'm guessing it's late from the meds, change in diet, or stress) so I'm just going to try the Skinny Girl Diet.

Day 1-400
1c ww pasta (220)
1/2c sauce (70)
1/4c mushrooms (10)
lrg g tea w/ 1m, 2sw (23)
yogurt (35)
2ltr water (0)
=358 cals

day 17 - Jan 17, 2011 - food diary

baby carrots (24)
light italian dressing (3)
celery (7)
peanut butter (90)
yogurt (35)
tea w/m&sw (30)
pasta (318)
fruit salad (100)
2ltr water (0)
=607

day 16 - Jan 16, 2011 - food diary; note

coffee w/m&sw (30)
yogurt (35)
spaghetti (220)
sauce (70)
toast (130)
jelly (100)
applesauce (50)
2 ltr water (0)
= approx 635

So I weighed myself this morning and based on that I should be down to 135 by the last Sat of Feb if I have 700 cals a day according to the website I linked in yesterdays food diary;note. So that's what I'm going to do. Although on the 19th as long as I start on time I'll be attempting a fast (water, coffee, tea, milk, sweetener, maybe sugar or cream soda) for the cycle length (most likely 31 days). I doubt I'll make it but I'll try for it. Hopefully I can. If I do I could probably get to 135 in half the time :)

day 15 - Jan 15, 2011 - food diary; note

I had 2 glasses of juice and I had sloppy joes for supper so I cheated today.
But I think I want to get down to 135 by the last Sat in Feb. And I found a website that may help with that.So I'll weigh myself in the morning and go from there. It probably means no cheating unless I can bank some calories...But it'll be worth it if I can get back down to my normal.

day 15 - Jan 15, 2011 - weigh in

weight: 148.4 (+1.6)

bust: 37
waist: 29.5 (+0.5)
hips: 37
thigh: 22.5
total: 126 (+0.5)

So I gained weight. I was busy this week so didn't drink much water and pretty much ate when I got the chance and didn't really pay too much attention to what I was eating since it was only stuff I could grab and go.

day 9 - Jan 09, 2011 - food diary

tea w/m&sw (20)
lrg tea w/1m 2sw (23)
popcorn (200)
jello (160)
mr noodles (150)
yogurt (35)
pineapple (40)
baby spring mix (50)
tuna (90)
5 crackers (80)
1.5 ltr water (0)
= approx 848


I didn't drink the full 2ltrs but I fell asleep around 8...

day 8 - Jan 08, 2011 - food diary

12 crackers (192)
3 cheese slices (105)
yogurt (35)
32 grapes (64)
xl tt w/c&s (420)
2ltr water (0)
=approx 816 cals

I would have gotten the coffee with milk but bf ordered it when I wasn't there. But I guess since I didn't eat much it was a good thing since it brought me up closer to my daily cal limit/goal.

day 8 - Jan 08, 2011 - weigh in

weight: 146.6 (-0.2)

bust: 37
waist: 29
hips: 37
thigh: 22.5
total: 125.5


So for that amount of loss I may as well say I didn't lose anything. But considering the only reason I weighed 146.8 last week was from the 2 days of not being able to hold anything down and I cheated 3 days this week, I think I did good. I figured I would be at 148/149 today, so I'm counting it as a loss.

day 7 - Jan 07, 2011 - food diary; note

smoothie (356)
baby spring mix (50)
tuna (30)
salsa (20)
crackers (80)
cheese slice (35)
sub meat (150)
chocolate bar (210)
lrg g tea 1m/2sw (23)
2 Ltrs water (0)
=approx 954 cals

And tomorrow I'll be switching to the 1 meal a day thing and in the next week or 2 (most likely on the 12th or 19th) I'll be attempting a liquid fast for probably about 25-31 days (most likely 31) which will include water, coffee, tea, milk, sweetener and juice. Maybe a cream soda every once in a while. When I start that wish me luck...I normally have a hard time getting past 3 days.

day 1 - Jan 01, 2011 - stats and food diary

weight: 146.8

bust: 37
waist: 29
hips: 37
thighs: 22.5
total: 125.5

I can't see how my waist measurement is only 29. My stomach looks huge there. But I measured twice and it was the same both times. Funny thing is, the measurements I have here are the same I had when I was about 135 lbs.
The weight here I don't trust though. Thursday and Friday I had 2 oranges and a slice of toast and gingerale and non of that stayed down. I had the 24 hour flu. But all better now, even if I couldn't eat as much today as I normally can.
Since I was sick Thurs and had to babysit Fri however, today was a junk day in an attempt to get some of the new years food out of the freezer. Didn't get all of it though. Did have an awful lot of calories though.
