Well Well Well....Look who's back.

It's been a long time coming. i have a lot I want to update on. For one, i've lost 10 lbs. don't really know how. Would like to lose 10 more and then 10 more. It's possible. I saw a nutritionist today. She kind of helped me, but not a total lot. I was also not very responsive. i wasn't feeling well and was starving and we were talking lots about food (obviously). i'm gonna just post my food for the day here now and then later when I have a little more time at work hoepfully a full update will come.

Breakfast
NONE :(

Snack
1 bag pretzels
.5Liter of water

lunch
1 cup white rice
1cup cauliflower
w/ salt sub and pepper and garlic and a little butter.

snack
1 svg of ridged potato chips (salt craving)

dinner
baked chicken
grean beans
.5cup rice...(maybe)

one thing the nutritionist told me was to eat whatever i want. just in moderation. DUH!! 8-| hahah easier said than done. So i did allow my self some chips I don't know why i wanted them so bad I haven't had a taste for them in months. but now the craving is gone and ididn't over do it.

I also exercise. oh yes, I do that too. i'm in a personal fitness class. only 1 week left.
today we did:
3 minutes of jump rope (warmup)
stretch
30 minutes of dyna(?)band workout (i loved it, i've never used them before might buy one.)

PHEW!!!! See you all later

Hi, Kelly, congratulations on losing the 10 lbs. And stick with it to lose the rest of the lbs. you want to lose.

Posting here at Diettalk is always a great idea. There's lots of friendly encouragement and advice to be found here. Getting advice from a nutritionist is always a great idea. I know that the first time I visited with one, the advice didn't stick. But later on it began to make more sense, if you know what I mean.

So take it all a day at a time, and keep smiling -

hey kelly,
that's really great that you controlled how many chips you had... i don't trust myself yet to even go near the bad foods i crave. 8-| anyway, have a nice day and good luck with your weigh loss goals

Hey Kelly! You can do it and congrats on the initial 10lbs! Keep it up girl!

Melinda :)

thanks everyone for the ongoing support. It's so good to know I can leave for a couple months and still have support here when I get back. I found my ipod charger (thank god) I was afraid I couldn't find it then I wouldn't have it to go walking and that would be said. More of an update later. i'm going to go clean a little.

Well dinner last night was good. I was up later than I wanted to be and got hungry again around 10:30. so i had a few more chips. EEK!! nothing terrible though. I got up early this morning and walked 45 minutes.

Breakfast
2 hard-boiled eggs

Lunch
1/2 c. spaghetti noodles
1tsp margarine
garlic

mid afternoon meal
1/2 turkey sandwich
about an oz or so of cheddar cheese
1 glass of 2%milk

dinner
Large salad with cucumbers and black olives with some grilled chicken

I'm stll hungry so i'm thinking i might do a second lunch. especcially since i ate at 11 a.m. and there wasn't much too it. The only problem is the only thing around my work are greasy spoon walk in joints where i can get burgers and beef sandwiches. So here's how i rationale this. If i get a burger and fries for lunch...for dinner i can make a really good salad with some grilled chicken in it. I don't want to feel starved in 2 hours and then go home and over eat. We'll see how I feel in about 20 minutes.

I've been having lots of problems with one of my good friends. Ok there are no problems he's just really selfish and i'm sick of it. I'm starting to see why every other one of my friends gets annoyed when their around him and i'm always i guess i have patience for him. blah blah blah. Nope...he's a selfish spoiled brat. I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to bring it up and make him upset because then he'll just stop talkin to me. i think what I need to do is take a break from him. I think he's becoming really dependant on me. He doesn't have a car and I do so when he needs to run to the store or something he calls me. i'm usually glad to do it but i'm sick of it. I think a break is in order...what do you all think? I know it sounds childish it's just been going on for a long time and I never really let it get to me until now. So it all added up fast.

Guess what?!?! did not get second lunch. 2 hours later and am still full from pasta. i'm off work in about an hour. and i'm going grocery shopping.

congrats on the no second lunch. I know that it is hard to do sometimes. But hey, you did it! Now are you sure that you want to go to buy food on an empty stomach?

~K

Kelsey - hahaha i was afraid too. but there would be no way to fill my stomach up i had nothign in the house.

I went to the store and didn't buy much just the necessities. I was really hungry by the time i got home so i made a turkey sandwich and sliced up some cheddar cheese. the sandwich just didn't taste good. so i ate the cheese and had some milk and that did it ok. Yay for calcium!!
