Daily Update 8/31-9/6

SUNDAY 8/31/08
Nutrition

Stayed around my calorie count. Last night was tough, because we had a Labor Day meal at my mom's. I made myself proud though. I had only one helping of the things I wanted, and I ate small portions. I disappointed myself by picking at chips more often than I would have wished. However, I stayed stronger than I thought I would. Yay.
Exercise
Did 400 calories on DDR yesterday morning. Good to go.
Mood
I was feeling rather busy yesterday, but it was still a good day. I got to see my mom's family and Jordan's dad's family. Today is filled with much of the same. However, it's MY dad and Jordan's mom today.



MONDAY 9/1/08
Nutrition
I ate lots of "homecooked" stuff today. Which always tastes good, but it is never really great for the waistline. However, I managed to stay in control! I'm so proud of myself. This is really paying off. And I get exactly what I want to eat until I'm satisfied. I never have that icky full feeling anymore. Just happy contentedness.
Exercise
JUST finished 500 calories and 30 minutes on DDR. I could have so easily skipped out on it, because I procrastinated until I got back home tonight. But it was probably good for me to have a morning off. I picked it up and PUSHED IT tonight, though. *pats self on back*
Mood
I've had my ups and downs today, but I'm feeling pretty great. Everyone is really taking notice to the new/improved me. They are so proud of me, especially my grandma. It's nice to have other people to keep me motivated. I know I could do it by myself, but it's so much easier when I have people who believe in me.
And guess what? I'm .2 lbs away from my first REWARD!! I still am not 100% sure what I'll get for myself, hehe. But I'm almost there.
TUESDAY 9/2/08
Nutrition
I was doing really well. I mean, I stayed in my calories. And I felt like I deserved a little treat for being so good lately. So I had some spinach and artichoke dip at Applebee's. Horrible, I know. And I feel incredibly guilty about it. I know it was a bad idea now. I just feel...blah. I can't believe I ruined what would have been a great day with something so unneccessary.
Luckily, I stopped myself after about half. But it's crazy how that pretty much doubled my calorie intake for the day. Or at least added a good third onto it. Ick. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Save this is in the "Remember For Next Time" file.
Exercise
Did 300 calories this afternoon on DDR. I squeezed it in and was proud of myself.
Did 300 tonight as well. Squeezed that in before Applebee's, so hopefully that helped a little of the damage? Blah.
Mood
Well, particularly angry at myself now. I was feeling okay, but...stupid girl.
WEDNESDAY 9/3/08
Nutrition
Did okay. Under on calories, but I was certainly not feeling well enough to eat as much as was supposedly required. Yeah...I really have to get on a multi-vitamin.
Exercise
300 calories/15 minutes of DDR this morning and the same tonight.
Mood
Feeling icky and overwhelmed. I'm really praying tomorrow is much better.
THURSDAY 9/4/08
Nutrition
A good day overall.
Exercise
600 calories/40 minutes of DDR all at night. Kind of overdid it, but I'm okay with it.
Mood
Ishy.
FRIDAY 9/5/08
Nutrition
Under on my calories, but I didn't do a whole lot today, so that is all right with me.
Exercise
Zilch. Unless you count walking back and forth from campus twice. I'm bad. And I'm incredibly angry with myself.
Mood
Not feeling great. It's definitely my TOM. And that makes me so sore and moody and nauseous. I'm still really disappointed I couldn't push myself to do some exercise, though.
SATURDAY 9/6/08
Nutrition
Again, under. Again, didn't do a whole lot today.
Exercise
350 calories this morning on DDR, 350 calories tonight on DDR. Total of 50ish minutes and 700 calories.
Mood
Just okay. Nothing phenomenal, nothing horrible.
