Blogging to myself...
...It's like talking to yourself, only different. I've been kinda bummed that no one is on the blog lately, but I haven't been either. And I know Lori and Carrie are both pregnant and Mallory is working nights and Tammi works crazy hours and Peggy is probably getting ready for school to start. I'm busy, too, believe it or not... Anyway, I just definitely do better when I'm accountable to someone else. I suppose I should try to be accountable to myself and most of the time I guess I am. But days like today when I'm stressed and I've got a lot to do and I'm screwing around on Facebook and eating 1/3 of a box of graham crackers in about two minutes flat without really comprehending what I'm doing and then chewing my nails. These are the days I could use the support. So, I'm going to pretend that you're all out there reading this and you want to respond but you can't because terrorists have kidnapped you all and if you even touch a keyboard to type a response, the world will end. No, I don't like that idea - I don't want to think about terrorists holding my peeps hostage. It's just not a pleasant idea. I'm going to choose to believe that you all are with me in spirit. And I'm going to continue blogging just in case anyone wants to actually join me. And I just remembered I ate some cheese, too. Great. That puts me over a 1,000 calories for the day already and it's not quite noon. Awesome. and yes I tracked my calories. Go me.

You're not blogging to yourself! I am here! And I know Mallory and I both thought "I should blog" after you did the first time, but never got around to it.
ReplyDeleteI am trying my hand at tracking too lately... but livestrong deleted my entire day yesterday and half of the day before :( poo on them. Anyway, I realize that I eat much better if I blog... less likely to eat the candy or cake at my parent's house. BUT I find it crazy how easy it is for me to go right to, or over, my daily calories... and I'm eating A LOT of calories compared to what I was before. Now I'm eating between 1800 and 2000 calories when before I was at 1250. The first day I tracked I was kinda shocked. No wonder I've gained more than I was hoping to by this point.
Hey, did you get my message the other day?
I hope your day gets better! You can always call or come over :)
I'm here too. I also thought I would blog after you did the other day and then time just ran out on me. You tracked your calories, good for you. I know if I have an off day I don't want to keep track of anything.
ReplyDeleteHave you been working out at the gym? I'm really considering getting a membership to Gold's. I have a trial membership this week and actually used it Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I really like their amenities (especially the cardio theater).
Yeah, I am here too, just lazy! I have been resisting blogging, weighing, and tracking because it's much easier and more fun to eat whatever you want whenever you want it. Ug. So, I guess I will start tonight at midnight and start really being serious.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you are having a rough day, you are tracking it so the good news is that you are aware, and can choose better choices for the rest of the day. Or tomorrow or whatever.
I really wasn't trying to guilt trip you guys into blogging, I swear. That entry came off as pretty passive-aggressive, which wasn't my intent. However, it's nice to see you all on the blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I are going to Denver tomorrow for slightly less than 24 hours to see my aunt who is in town from Florida. So, I won't really be tracking or blogging or anything until Monday. I hope you all have a great weekend!
