Weight Loss and Exercise #3

Mountaindewed · Dec 20, 2020 at 08:38 AM

At Thanksgiving I was 187 now I am 174. I am happy with my progress. Today I’m just eating the usual. 2 English muffins, 2 Oreos, Goldfish crackers, bowl of Blueberry Cheerios with 1/2 cup of milk, and 3 eggs. Last night I had 3 cups of cooked broccoli for dinner instead of the eggs. So I was at 1,555 calories instead of 1,235. But with the stuff I’ve been eating I can eat throughout the day and still be at or around 1200 calories.

173 now. I need to cool it I think I’m losing too fast. I’ve lost 4 pounds just since Friday. but I am just not very hungry most of the time. And I lose track the other half of the time. Plus I started walking. I haven’t eaten meat much but that’s not really by choice.

I've been good,I've been eating healthy and keeping the quantity of food down.

My knees are feeling good and I feel lighter. I'm afraid to step on the scale though. The last few times have been disappointing. I will just go with feeling better. I cooked a veggie casserole this morning. But I think I want oatmeal instead. I wish I had fresh fruit, but I tend not to eat it. So I've just quit buying it. I'm better off sticking to frozen and canned goods.

My case manager asked me if I was restricting food. No I just don’t feel like eating and am not hungry. She’s making a note that the dietician who wants to work with me will call today.

I stepped on the scale. I lost some weight. So I am really glad. I had some of my veggie casserole yesterday, vegan spaghetti and a tofurkey sandwich. This morning, I've had mac'n cheese and a little bit of a pasta dish I made with chickpeas, green peas and mushrooms. I want to do more cooking today. Perhaps another round of spaghetti. I have vegan meatballs to use.

Today I had a couple servings of goldfish crackers, a couple Atkin shakes, a Mac and cheese pot pie, and a diet cherry Vanilla Coke. 1,210 calories and I am done eating for the day. This morning I did some grocery shopping for pickup and got all the usual stuff I eat.

Deilla · Dec 22, 2020 at 06:44 PM

I didn't do well this afternoon. I bought a cheesecake today and ended up eating half of it. I was stressed. It ended up being 720 calories. I still am under budget, but this is just not good.

unaluna · Dec 22, 2020 at 10:24 PM

You an me both. I had sushi - a Philly roll - and half a lemon meringue pie.

oh - i didnt realize mrgreen looked so chipper! I just look kinda green!

Marylin · Dec 23, 2020 at 09:47 AM

It's been a week that I have stayed off the sugar snacks not eaten anything sugar laden and already I think I am losing weight.Well done me,keep it up!
Its a bit of a learning curve,at first I forgot that ketchup and other sauces have sugar in them so didn't stay off them but now am learning to eat burgers and fries without sauces and dips!

Deilla · Dec 23, 2020 at 10:26 AM

I feel like I've had a setback. But today, I am trying again. I was still under my calories yesterday. But I think it might be too many calories for me. Every app is different. I had too many sugars yesterday, so I messed it up. I have to keep my carbs down as well as my fats and calories. I think I am going to quit dieting. I'm only tracking right now cause my online therapist asked me to. I'll track 2 more days and quit. I just don't care to know.

unaluna · Dec 23, 2020 at 12:29 PM

Yeah i belong to WeightWatchers, but tracking is problematic for me. I start severely undereating then bingeing. Yesterday was messed up because i had to go to the dentist, so i couldnt follow my hunger signals and i was nervous. Today should be back to normal.

Mountaindewed · Dec 23, 2020 at 02:19 PM

I am nervous to weigh myself because I’m losing very fast and although I do want to lose weight I’m not sure losing it this fast is a good sign. Food makes me sick so I just haven’t been eating a lot. I’ve just had a Twix bar so far today

Marylin · Dec 23, 2020 at 08:59 PM

I was a bit sick this morning,I think cos my sugars went high I didn't eat sugar snacks but drank alcohol and ate sauce with my burger last night and I had a turkey toastie and it had cranberry sauce in it and that has sugar,anyhow my reading was high,and I am trying to get it down again.My weight is doing ok cos I am eating normal amounts again and I'm not overeating.

Mountaindewed · Dec 24, 2020 at 04:47 PM

Today I had a Coke from Sonic, an English muffin, an Atkins shake, a small mug of soup and a couple rice cakes. I’m getting Outback tonight and I’m going to have 2 lobster tails and save the fries and vegetables for tomorrow’s lunch. I was getting pretty hungry around 1:45 but I just waited for it to pass and I ate a rice cake. I can’t tell if I’m restricting today or just saving my calories for dinner. I have down 1,265 calories. I took a walk this morning and then I’ve been doing nonstop cleaning and just being really restless and unable to sit down all day. So I’ve probably burned a lot.

Deilla · Dec 25, 2020 at 05:24 AM

I ate almost an entire cheesecake last night. And lots of pasta too. I'm not sure what's wrong with me. Maybe I am stressed about the holiday. It's hard being alone. I will order Thai food today. I got all vegan stuff. So it shouldn't be too bad. I wish everyone a happy holiday! Happy, healthy good eats today!!

Marylin · Dec 25, 2020 at 05:38 AM

Found out that a Macdonalds and fries and kebab and chips have sugar in them,that's why my sugars went high,I was unaware of that and I ate it three days in a row,I won't be having it ever again,terrible!No wonder I couldn't control my sugars I thought I was staying off the sugar but both the burger and fries contain it!

unaluna · Dec 25, 2020 at 06:12 AM

My new cookies for the next month are from Natures Bakery - one is a whole wheat date brownie, the other is a soft strawberry granola bar tye thing. They are about 200 calories each, and have fiber.

Yesterday i ate those, and oranges, and sourdough bread and vegan cheese sandwiches with iceberg / burg? lettuce. And a coffee of course. I have fixins for one sandwich left.

Marylin · Dec 25, 2020 at 07:56 AM

I just had cheese sandwich,humus and olives for xmas lunch,not having a turkey dinner until the 27th december when my niece will be joining me,I've got shepherd's pie for dinner later.........

Mountaindewed · Dec 25, 2020 at 11:18 AM

I had an English muffin and a bowl of steamed vegetables and a coffee with skim milk and Splenda so far. I am not very hungry so I plan on saving my calories for dinner. Dinner will be turkey and mashed potato’s. I am able to eat another English muffin and some goldfish as well if I want lunch or a snack. I have written down 1,170 calories for the day but it might be less because I didn’t finish all the vegetables.

Today I am just not very hungry. I’m not restricting on purpose.
