Una ragazza magra

Today went very well.  I worked out for the third day in a row, and I’m still sore, but tomorrow is a rest day, so that should help.  I’ll probably go in on Sunday (or I’ll go to the gym at my college) and just run.  Monday is my next appointment before the long break, [...]

Today presented a challenge again because I’m writing a paper.  I’m almost to the point of not worrying about the diet so much since the paper is weighing so heavily on me.  My calories weren’t too bad (but the night is still young).  I started metaquick today, so breakfast and lunch were no brainers, but [...]

Having to write all these papers and being so busy is killing my diet.  I suppose I should be happy to maintain this week since dieting is totally not my top priority right now.  My worst snacky habit is eating when I’m having a paper writing marathon, which is what I’m doing.  Eating gives me [...]

Today went well– no big issues, and I’m looking forward to WI tomorrow since it feels (and shows according to the scale at home) like I’ve lost weight– always a good thing!  I’m hoping to be out of the 180s tomorrow, so we’ll see how it goes.
Breakfast: cheese toast, egg white, HNS
Lunch: bar (4th for [...]

After a couple weeks absence from the diet blog, I’m back to journaling.  There was no major binging– I just didn’t have much time, and the holidays and travelling made it difficult, so I took a break. 
Metaquick was somewhat successful– 4.5 lbs. total for the week.  However, my greatest success is in having maintained (yes, [...]

Well, things went fine today, but since it was the fifth day on MQ, I’m starting to get a bit bored and miss my morning cheese toast.  Oh well, soon it will be over, and I’m just hoping that nothing happens on Sunday to make me mess up my last day of it.  Unless something [...]

Today went well once again.  Metaquick makes things easier for me because there are simply fewer choices, and it’s VERY obvious if I cheat, so it’s harder to fool myself into things.  I just weighed tonight, and it’s looking good– 180 at night is as low as it’s ever been, so I can’t wait till [...]

So, I know it’s just water weight, but when I woke up this morning to weigh, i was down 2.5 lbs.  Yea!  So, I’m going to attribute it to the workout just because I can and because that will give me some motivation to do it again tonight.
I have a few minutes before I have [...]

It is shaping up to be a bad week.  I did end up eating the pizza today (I planned it, though, so it didn’t come as a surprise).  I ate two pieces, just like I planned….and then, he spread them all out on the table encouraging everyone to eat more, and of course, I ate [...]

Well, today went well, I suppose.  I only lost 1/2 lb. at weigh in, but last time I was down 3 lbs. in 3 days, so it all equals out in the end.  Maybe next time will be a bigger loss.  Plus, 1/2 lb. is better than maintaining or not losing, or (gulp) gaining.
Breakfast:  cheese [...]
