I was really good yesterday. I drank 72 oz. of water and my calorie intake, without factoring in the running, was 1348. And then it got late and I was a little hungry. I wanted something sweet. So, I had another package of graham crackers, (at least they're all gone now) with Cool Whip. Then I wanted something salty so I had some tortilla chips with some velveeta slices that we brought over from my grandma's house because she's going to be in the nursing home for a few weeks. I didn't track any of that, but it probably doubled (at least) my calorie intake. I don't know why I can't knock this off. And to make it worse I slept like crap cuz I didn't feel very good. Then I started to wish I was bulimic so I could through it up. Then I felt really bad for thinking such a thing. You guys probably think I'm insane.
Goals for today:
Drink water - 3 bottles
Play tennis
Track calories - keep it at or under 1500.

I don't think you're insane, I have often thought that it would be easier if I could throw up the things I ate. Ha ha, if only I didn't hate to throw up.
ReplyDeleteHang in there with the night time eating. It's my worst time of the day too!
DId you get my message about tennis? I won't be there tonight b/c Aaron is out of town and ya know, the kids probably won't just sit there and let me play tennis while they should be going to bed and all. Darn them ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand about night time! It's the hardest time.
I once heard Dr. Phil say that you can't just take a bad habit out, you have to replace it with something. So, if you normally eat while watching tv at night, then exercise while watching tv. Or knit. Or I suppose we could just cut out tv all together and do something else... but I think we all know that's not happening ;) lol At least not around here.
Do you like to read? I find that when I read at night I get so wrapped up in my book that the time flies and then I'm so tired I go to bed. Has anyone checked out the book I'm reading Eat to Live? That's a good one.
ReplyDeleteLately I've been watching so much tv that I munch all night, so I totally feel ya. I've read so many books on health that I know all the right things to do, I just don't apply them to my life, that's my frustration right now! Anyway, I hear ya on the binge eating at night!
I do like to read. And I read every night before I go to bed. The problem is that no matter how good the book, there's a little nagging voice that tells me I can hold a book with one hand and shove M&Ms in mouth with the other. And that doing so would make this good story all the better. Maybe I should put a hit out on that little voice... lol. Right. Anyway, I guess I need to somehow change my relationship with food. Which, is part of the whole lifestyle change. I just need to try harder, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteI requested the eat to live book from my library, and I just got a call that it came in, I can't wait to check it out!

Mallory,
ReplyDeleteHave an open mind when you read it, because it seems a little crazy. It focuses a lot less on losing weight, and more on being healthy for life. you can ward off things like cancer and other deadly diseases just by changing your diet. After reading it I was pretty gung ho, but didn't feel like there was a lot of options to eat. Then I checked out my friends blog that her and her sisters post recipes on, and there are some amazing recipes that keep the vegan lifestyle fun and different. But I think even if your just reading it to read a good book on health, it is a real eye opener! And it makes good sense! Let me know how it goes!
