Sexy by September! Down 19 lb!

[Stars in my Pocket]

Oh gosh I feel your pain. ;__;
Heat pads kind of work for me, but not as well as just taking some NyQuil or sleep stuff and just waiting it out... unconsciously.

I really hope you feel better. <33

Physical Activity
20 min Wii Fitness coach.
1hr 30 min walking around down town. I definitely feel it even though it was really low intensity exercise
30 min biking.

Notes:

Found a really good BMR calculator.
http://www.tlbc.ca/blog/index.php/bmr-calculator/

Apparently my BMR is about 2100 calories to maintain 201 lb. My BMR to maintain 145 lb is 1800 calories. If I slash back to 1600 like I have been, I should have absolutely no problem. ^_^ I'm very happy. I was a bit worried that my bracelet had too many calorie markers on it.

I'm going to find a way to make falafel with less oil, because I love this new salad I just made, but I hate that it took sooo many tablespoons of oil. Guh. It's disturbing. But soooooo good.

I'm really loving my bracelet, since I've had it it's been so easy to track what I've been eating and yesterday I filled my calorie quota and didn't eat anything more. I thought about it but I didn't. I'm very happy.

Notes:
I weigh 197! I can't believe it! I give the bracelet all my credit because since I've been wearing it, I've been sticking to my diet. I haven't been hungry, and it's been really easy. I mean, we'll see how easy it is when I start doing stressful things again, ie: Work, ie: school (it's been the weekend)  

[Stars in my Pocket]

Your bracelet sounds very pretty, I'm glad it's working for you!
Is there any way you can take a picture of it so we can see? That'd be awesome. :3  

[Tandahda]

I have a picture of it on the diet bracelet page on the main forum. Thanks for asking though. ^_^ (I'd post it here but I'm lazy)

Physical Activity
Absolutely none. I'm not doing anything because I don't want to hurt myself more than I'm hurt already, today is my rest day. Tomorrow I might do some yoga.

Notes:
So I binge ate last night, my bracelet didn't help. Staying up late is what really gets me more than anything else. I have to stop. Yesterday was just... Uh. It wasn't ok. I didn't eat enough in the morning and went on a big bike ride with my back pack for school (Turns out riding w/ 25 extra pounds is very very hard)

I dehydrated myself sweating, and I'm fairly certain that I hurt myself by over exercising. I'm taking a complete break today from exercise and I'm just eating right.

I upped my calories to 1800 calories per day. That's a bit better for my exercise level. 1800 calories is my BMR for 135 lb.

YAY! My new cook book came! Vegan Brunch. I'm *soooo* happy.  

[Groovy Spleen]

Wow 8lbs in less than a month is an awesome start.

I feel for you on the binge eating,
but at least you've figured out why it was triggered
(not eating enough early on etc)
that's the first step to not doing it again. smile

Good to take a break when your body needs it to,
you are doing everything right!

Keep going!  

[Stars in my Pocket]

There's a really interesting site called vegweb.com with vegan/vegetarian recipes. I'm a faithful meat-eater but they have very very healthy foods on that site that taste good!

& Congrats on 8lb! :D

Physical Activity
Another day of none, I'll go back to riding and stuff tomorrow.

Notes:

Thanks Groovy and Stars, I love the support here. (I print off recipes from vegweb and decorate them and leave them places these days for people to find. ^_^)

I'm really happy right now because I'm at 196.4, which means I didn't really lose weight, technically I gained weight, but when I went down to 195 I think I was getting a little fanatical, so I'm going to call that water weight. : P

What I've decided to do, so that I don't feel really guilty about over eating, is I'm going to treat them like a night drinking. The calories are pretty much the same, and I feel about the same in the morning. Plus I never feel guilty about getting drunk. It's odd.

6Pm: I went to the farmer's market today and got chard and kale, the vendor also gave me some lovage that I'm going to find something to use it for. .-. I love the farmer's markets. ^_^
