Yesterday, I totally messed up my caloric intake. Totally. The day started off normally, had a breakfast of Raisin Bran. Got into a fight with my b/f or should I now say ex. I don't really know what I want of our relationship or friendship now. Then I decided to call up a friend to get drunk. So we had a dinner of Chipotle.. which I mean wasn't the healthiest but I did opt out of sour cream and just had cheese in my Steak Bol... so at least I tried. But later that night.. it was over. I was downing bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade. At least I didn't get a hang-over. I'll tell you.. taking Super-B Complex & Flaxseed Oil Caps after drinking does work to prevent a hangover.
Oh and friday my elliptical broke. That really sucks. I was 29:33 into my workout.. and the peddle broke. So tomorrow I want to check out how much it would cost to join a local gym. Hopefully it's no more than $30 a month. It's right down the street so I can walk to and from easily. My apartment complex has a fitness room with a elliptical and some weights but I have an issue with working out when kids can clearly see me from the swimming pool. I haven't reached that level of security yet.
Tomorrow I'm going to weigh-in and also take some before pics.

Happy 4th of July!

mood: 
calm
I still have yet to track on my fitday. But today I ate a slice of Sbarro's Broccoli & Spinach pizza, a bread stick, and shared a large diet coke with my son. Then for dinner.. drank quite a few glasses of juice, 4 ribs, a small slice of Lemon Meringue pie, and baked beans. I think the Juice probably killed my calorie count for the day.
My feet hurt and knees hurt. A lot to do with my weight and wearing sandals with absolutely no arch to the mall... but I am motivated to work out as much as I can do tonight. I'll also workout tomorrow even though it's my off day.
My goal for the next few weeks is definitely getting to bed at an earlier hour... I hardly slept last night and now I feel as though I'm going to catch a cold.

I don't think I KILLED my day. But I totally ate Jack in the Crack (or Box if you prefer) for dinner. 2 tacos, 1 large curly fry, and a small diet coke. My body was telling me "Order a SMALL fry" but my mouth was telling me "A large fry is better.. more food." I need to add that to my fitday journal.
I did do 30 on the elliptical. Working out for the most part comes pretty easy to me.. especially when I'm suffering anxiety like today. My body craves for that workout.
I might pop in a Hula workout video if I can't sleep.

Tracking Food
Jul. 1st, 2008 | 01:37 am
I kind of want to start taking Lida again. But, I probably won't, it really suppress my appetite, but then I'll get so woozy, because my blood sugar get's low. I'll pick up some Green Tea diet pills when I have the money.
So, it's a new month. I hope to lose at least 8-10 pounds. It's totally possible.

I am definitely going to use this OFTEN. Sometimes I forget, but this is very helpful. It also works great on my phone.
But since fitday's food selections sucks (well for the free version, I don't know about the paid one) I fill in some of the food options when there is no nutrition label with information from http://thedailyplate.com.

I have always struggled with my weight since I was about 10 years old, From taking diet pills, starving myself, and making myself throw up from Ipecac syrup so I don't gain weight or reach a goal faster or because I ate a huge meal and I didn't want those extra 1000 calories. Right now I weigh 258, the highest I've ever weighed and I look horrible. I think I am attractive, but then when I take pictures, I'm like eww.. I can see that fat around my chin. I often think that, that's one of the reasons I can't find a job. I live in California and California is very superficial.
I felt so comfortable in my skin when I was 200 lbs. I lost about 30 lbs in a span of a few months by eating healthier, taking green tea pills, cutting out Sodas except for a rare diet coke, and going to the gym daily. But I was still considered obese. This time I want to weigh about 150 lbs. Maybe more or less. I just don't want to be considered obese or even overweight by BMI standards. Right now my BMI is 40.4 OBESE.
Not only am I doing this for myself, but who doesn't want to feel sexier in front of their SO? When we met I weighed 200, but he definitely noticed that I gained 50+. I'm doing this for my child too. I want to set a good example.
My mother is also obese (I hate that word, because it makes you seem disgusting. I don't mind Fat, but OBESE? Yuck) and is always saying she's going to go on some diet or exercise, which she never does. But then in the same sentence, basically calls me a fat ass. It's like "Thanks! But I can make myself feel bad by myself." or "Have you looked in the mirror?" Or gets upset because I don't want to be her workout buddy. I like working out alone, am I wrong for that? I've done everything else in life by myself.
My biggest obstacle is money. I'm unemployed and dead broke. When it comes to eating healthier it sucks. Sometimes it's cheaper to get fast food or something microwaveable. It's not that I want too, but what else can you do? Healthier food: Lean Meats, Whole Grains, Soy Milk, etc isn't that cheap.
