Physical Activity
Will do wii yoga hopefully.

Notes:
Salt is addictive, when I have it all I want is more. It's getting bad right now because I found a way to get simple carbs AND salt in the same meal. I'm now trying do decide what's better, rice or noodles. Depending I might get some white rice, (a very small amount. Or possibly some couscous... both very simple carbs that I love too much to keep in my house on a regular basis.

I think deciding and talking about it has helped.

The good thing about couscous is it has tons of protein, few calories, and nutritiondata.com also says:
This food is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a very good source of Selenium.

Notes:
That's interesting to know groovy, I just thought that couscous was kind of like a tiny noodle with no nutritional content. Instead I ended up having a big bowl of quinoa. Unfortunately I loaded the quinoa with salt so it was still really really bad for me.

Physical Activity
20 min elliptical
5 min weights
5 min rowing
15 min yoga

Notes:
I've only gained .2 lb, I'm so happy about that it snapped me right out of whatever I was in before. I'm fairly certain that if I had gained a large amount of weight even I would have been motivated to get up and get out there.

WOW. 5 mins rowing has never felt worse for me. I *need* to start taking advantage of the gym at school again. I got an actual *cramp* while I was on the elliptical.

The 5 mins on the rower made me run out of juice, like, shaking and pass out-y feeling. It's a blood sugar thing. I hadn't eaten enough that day because I went to a story session before going to the gym and had time to digest my food.

1 hr biking.

Notes:
I'm planning on applying to booster juice today, here's hoping they haven't filled that job. It's officially too hot to be outside in what I intend to wear to class. .-. So I'm wearing my workout outfit to bike to school. I'm also slathered in sunscreen. I don't burn often but this is prime burninating weather, and I don't like to be in pain.

Notes:
Ok, so I have a slight problem. It sneaked up on me, I'm on a community that runs a weight loss competition, and tomorrow is the weigh in! It sneaked up on me and I'm really choked with myself because I haven't lost much weight, heck. I techinically gained weight from where I was just yesterday (I'm fairly sure that's bloating.) But *still!*. I suppose the best thing I can do for myself is eat right and not worry about it. But still.

Notes:
Let yesterday be stricken from the record.

I ate *so* much last night. Ugh, luckily it didn't set me *too* far back. I'm going to be extra good this week I think. I feel better about it. So much for really good, I wasn't perhaps the best about eating today, however it's no worse than I've been in the past. I didn't exercise at all. I was in a big funk. I'm out of it now (out of a funk in one day, that's record timing for me. I'm going to the gym tomorrow.

Notes:
Oh, so my weight gain has stabilized. I'm pretty choked with everything regarding myself. I have a good idea why I gained the weight, but it's just ******** disappointing.

I have a goal now though, it's a very short term goal but I'm hoping it'll keep me motivated. I'm going down to Victoria for the Pride Parade. I'm so glad I already fit into the dress I'm going to wear. I need to get some black taffeta. I'm stoked to cut up my grad dress and make it a fairy dress. The whole thing is crimson and when it was altered the seamstress did a bad job.

So yay. ^_^

Physical Activity
Short walk, I'm in too much pain today to do much more than that.

Notes:
I'm SO unhappy with myself. I weigh in at 199.8 today, I'm going on a bike ride in about half an hour, once I start feeling a little better. I was very active yesterday, which was good because I think I ate about 3000 calories worth of food, I'm so pissed off. ********. Plus my muscles are screaming. All of them practically.  

[Strawberry Candy Fantasy]

Oh noes! Weight coming back! Dx Exercise to burn it off should undo some of that damage.

To prevent myself from binge eating, I always measure out a fixed portion of what I'm going to eat and put the rest away. Instead of eating until I feel full (it takes a lot to accomplish that) I just eat what I think I need, calorie-wise and nutrition-wise. >.<

 

[Tandahda]

It's a pity for me because I can and will just get up and make more, I do try to put things away, but when it's packages of mr. noodles it's just... ugh. I'm glad I got rid of them.

Physical Activity
Bike to school
Bike home, 55 min 500 cal or so.
Almost 15 min weights (arms) 100 cals ish

Total in V. Total out.
In: 1800 cal
Out: 600 cal

Notes:
The extra weight is coming off, I'm very relieved. I'm riding a very thin line with my eating that has me *nearly* running out of steam on my rides. I'm hoping it doesn't cumulate in a bonk. ._.

I'm glad I had the good sense to stop, I'm rather full, could have stopped sooner, I was just so hungry before. However, 1800 calories is apparently what I should eat to lose weight anyway, just slowly so I didn't do damage to myself. But I am at the upper level of my caloric intake range. I'm aiming for 1500-1800.

I think that if I'd had a bigger lunch I would have been better about dinner.
