Let the wild rumpus start!

so I watched the

Biggest Loser marathon yesterday (hours and hours of it).

The words of wisdom I gleaned from that were:

my mind will control my body; I’m sick of it being the other way around.

Here are my goals from 7.7.08

1. 5 days exercise (M-F) during noon hour 30 minutes (or some configuration). If I do that, I get to buy something :).
2. 5 days of 1400kcal (M-F) (eating and recording!!). If I do that, I get to buy something else :).
3. No binging for unspecified number of days (although 30 would be nice)
4. NEW GOAL Exercise Saturday and Sunday. If I do that, I get to buy something.
5. NEW GOAL Break 150. I started at around 155, but I can’t seem to get below 150.6

I completed goal #1 last week, so I bought myself some recycling bins today. I know that seems pathetic, but I’ve been wanting some NICE ones for a long time now. Hooray for me! I think I’m on day nine with no binging. I have not stayed within my kcal range of 1300-1500, but I also haven’t binged either– a little overeating maybe, but nothing that would fall in the binge category. Again, yay me!

If I complete goal #2, I get a NICE pillow that I already have picked out.

If I complete goal #4, I get some new Nike workout SOCKS from Smiths shoes!!!!

If I complete goal #1 for a second time, I get some towels from giaim.com. Whee!

#5 Goal completed– I broke 150lbs. for the first time in a long time. I think I was below 150 for a couple of weeks last November, but aside from that, it’s been over a year or more since I was below that (at least since I quit smoking on September 6th of last year).  I bought two shirts from Nordstrom’s

08.01.08#1 Goal completed for second week in a row! I get to buy something. Hmm, the pillow or the socks? I just can’t decide. Will decide after I actually exercise at noon! I’m counting my chickens before they’re hatched!!!!

Had decaf coffee this morning at home, but it didn’t work. I had to have real coffee when I got to work. Ulcer seems pretty good actually. Haven’t noticed heartburn or bad coughing. I still cough in the morning when I bend over, but it isn’t violent…. My voice does crack some when I talk on the phone, but it also doesn’t seem as violent as it was. Also still get choked up when I laugh.

• Coffee 4C–10kcal
• 1T sugar–48
• 1/2C lowfat, lactose free milk–45
• 3T half and half–30kcal
• yogurt drink–100kcal (guess)
• Lean cuisine (sweet n sour chicken)–330kcal=563kcal (sbtl)
• South Beach high energy bar–140kcal= 703kcal sbtl (3:30pm)
• 2 bowls of chili–600kcal=1303
• 1/4 yogos rollup–30kcal=1333
• 5 kashi crackers–50kcal=1383
• 4T hummus–100kcal=1483
• 1/2C cran grape w/splenda–5kcal=1488 Phew! just made it

Exercized at noon hour 1/2 hour on elliptical (medium intensity, but heart rate was up=cardio). Seemed fairly easy even though I had missed two days over the weekend. Weight is 150.6. We’ll see if it goes up on Wednesday as a result of Sundays chocolate cake. Sarah thinks that it takes 3 days for food to become part of you. If that’s the case, then by Wednesday the buffet I had on Sunday should show up…. It’ll be a little test.

I did 5 days of exercise last week so I got to buy myself a prize (see goals posting).
