Today was nice, though (or because?) I didn't do much of anything. I went out to Applebee's with the family and got dessert, and my total intake was still only 625 calories. Some days that would seem like a lot to me, but not tonight, 'cuz I just burned 770 calories on the bike.

School starts again tomorrow after a random week off, which sucks.

I'm getting really lazy with the exercise. None today, and I ate 650 calories.

Waiting for college decisions is making me crazy.

I just woke up half an hour ago, so I don't have much to update, but when I weighed myself this morning I was 143.5. That's four pounds down in five days!

I ate 620 calories today but didn't exercise at all. For some reason I was just feeling lazy today. I did buy the book 8 Minutes in the Morning as part of my quest to boost my sluggish metabolism. I'll be completely ignoring the diet plan, of course, but even I can find time to do the quick morning strength training routines. I just need to buy ( Read more... )

I lost control tonight and ate 350-400 extra calories. It wasn't big enough to qualify as a binge in my mind, but I still feel like shit because of it. I found out some bad news about a friend and turned to food for comfort.

I didn't do as well with my consumption as I did yesterday, but today wasn't a complete disaster either. I ate 700 calories but burned off 680 on the stationary bike while watching Beauty and the Geek (a slightly-embarassing but not completely inane show, as it turns out).

I'm feeling really good about today. I'm out of school this week, and somehow that makes it easier to manage what I eat. I only had 570 calories today, 530 of which I burned off on the bike. I don't want to jinx myself, but after a year of almost constant bingeing, I think I'm finally gaining control again. And it's scary in a way, because I ( Read more... )

I had around 775 calories today, which is neither great nor terrible, I suppose. (I only counted 675, but my lunch consisted of a chewed and spat peanut butter sandwich, so I added 100 cals to be safe.) I'd planned to exercise tonight but am now far too tired.

My 810-calorie intake wasn't the best, but it's substantially better than my average daily intake for the past few weeks. Better yet, after fearing the scale since the holidays, I weighed in at 147.5 pounds this morning. Again, while my weight is still embarassingly high, I had feared it would be even higher ( Read more... )

Today was another good day. I ate 740 calories but managed to burn off 670 on the stationary bike. My mother started Weight Watchers again, so I'm in for another few months of bitching from her. She has no idea how much I want to hit her when she complains about eating a slice of cake that has a few points too many when I've already scarfed down ( Read more... )
