Thanks MollyMoo you are always so supportive and you never make excuses for yourself.
Well... Eventually, calories wise I think I did alright. I just had yogurt, one dried strawberry, and a couple little sugar cookies Mom sent for V-Day. (Okay that last one isn't good, but I'm not going to turn it down.) I'm not planning on doing my pilates tonight. I need to I know. But I am lacking motivation. Maybe I should go try to pull on those jeans I want to get back into. It's snowing, which means the wind isn't blowing. I think I'm just going to get into bed early and see if I can get out earlier. I knew I was going to have a hard time sticking to my schedule when the real work hit again. The dishes and the laundry and everything have to cut in somewhere.

| Okay, I didn't go to bed early last night. I stayed up and watched a movie and then I didn't get up early enough to workout this morning. How lame is that? So i would have been low on calories today. 800 over all if I had done what I planned. But no. Someone brought cookies from the top bakery in town to the Valentine's party in the class I was substituting for. Yeah. I had THREE!!! So after work. Starving and thinking the best plan for tomorrow was the all you can eat buffet at Pizza Hut, I started a workout. It got longer and longer. I ended up with 50 minutes of aerobic and 20 minutes of pilates. Not a bad way to end the day.

Thanks MollyMoo!
I haven't posted in three days, so I'll give a brief overview. I haven't been really eating all that healthy. I've been sticking to healthy, fairly high cal lunches so as to not eat too much at night. But then I've been sneaking Pepsi (twice) popcorn (kettle and buttered) and chocolate. Probably some ice cream in there too. I haven't done my pilates in these three days either and while all my measurements went down, I'm sure more work with the pilates would help the waist. Still I have been doing some cardio. I did 20 min. for two days and 30 min one day. I'm planning on doing 20 minutes before I take off and go print! Still, something must be going right. Weigh in this morning put me at 161!  one more pound to hit my second goal weight for the challenge. It feels good!

ugh.
So yesterday was yet another day without pilates. About 10:00 my stomach became cranky and didn't stop until I went to bed. GRRRR. Not the way I wanted to make it a low calorie day. Crackers, a little soup, gatorade and yogurt. Def under my calorie intake goal. Hopefully today will be better!

Hi Vgreet!
Its so funny, I went out of town for 2 days and I really did miss everyone. I thought of you and some of my other inspirations while I was out walking laps around the hotel in the Florida SUNSHINE which made me so happy. We've had essentially no sun in Chicago for weeks and weeks.
Congrats on the 161 you are doing great!

Thanks MollyMoo,
I've been out of touch and missing everyone too! My excuse is just busy-ness. Not a good one I know. I've been exhausted and overeating (or at least I thought I was.) Not much excercise. I haven't done a full pilates work out in over a week but I have been getting some cardio in. Depending on the day. While I have been cheating horribly, I have managed to lose a lot of weight recently. I weighed in at around 157 this morning. I don't know if that is right, and I hope I haven't lost muscle from not working out. I really need to concentrate on not eating too much. I have been drinking lots of gatorade's new G2. It does have 70 cals in a bottle, but that is fewer than a Pepsi. I was nervous that maybe I wasn't losing inches, but I am so maybe I have just managed to droop a lot of weight. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

| I feel like I've been eating non-stop today, but I don't think I really did that bad on cals. Kind of smart snacking and never really ate a meal. short walk today too, but with a headache, nothing serious. Hopefully when I get home tomorrow night I can get some pilates in!

Did my best to put those 4 pounds back on today. Travelling on a time schedule... I'm thinking Arby's is BAD FOR ME! I went in thinking if I just get a sandwich, I won't be bad off... But no I got the Pepsi and the curly fries too. GRRRR. And then Fig Newtons at dinner. I did get in 20 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of pilates, but I should be doing better. Doctor says I have asthma. I'm curious at how my workouts will go once the medicine kicks in. Sorry for the sort post, but got to run!

| What meds did they put you on? I'm on Advair (was only diagnosed a few months ago when I realized I couldn't breathe when I'd work out) and it's really helped A LOT. And, most important, I really recognize the difference if I skip a dose.

Glad to know someone out there is sharing this with me. They put me on flovent, which I haven't started yet because the pharmacy was closed. I should start it tonight. I wasn't really feeling overly out of breath, but they tell me I will notice it when I get going. I hope so!
So far today... I did 20 minutes low cardio. I was doing really well on calories, but one of the 6th graders had a birthday, and I didn't throw that cupcake away. I ate it!  Grrrr. It's another 12 hour day, so I am hoping that I have enough energy to workout tonight. I need to get some drive back. Maybe it will be a slow night at the studio and I can have healthy snacks. It could happen.

Okay, so it was busy tonight and I got off work late. Cottage cheese and crackers for dinner then. Which means even with that STUPID cupcake, I think I came in in the acceptable calorie range. 1400ish. Only 10 minutes of pilates. It's sad I know, but if I do sub tomorrow I'm going to need my rest. I'm hoping someone will snag this middle school job and I can clean my apartment and go to the bank and get all those other little things taken care of! We'll see. I need to go buy more veggies too! Mine are past their prime. Okay now I'm rambling.

I'm am so frustrated with myself right now! I got the call for a 1/2 day substitute position 30 minutes before I needed to be there, so I ditched the workout this morning, thinking I would do it later. By the time I got done with everything, I felt terrible. Because of that I ended up low on cals. I'm not even sure I made 1000.
Whoever reads this probably thinks I'm a hypochondric. I'm not! Really I'm not! My boyfriend is sick, but I can't tell if I caught what he caught, or if it is the new meds. I swear I feel worse after I take the meds, but I want to give it a shot. At least a week before I start whining to the doc. I'm also not happy that this steriod is going to suppress my immune system. DUH! What do I do for a living? I work with kids. Not just in one area either. I go from school to school and work with all sorts of kids at night. And what am I doing? Turning down my immune system. I told Grandma today, I've always had a pretty healthy immune system, but I'm not going to spend lots of money every month to be sick! I wasn't suffocating before and I have no problem going off the medicine.
Thank you to whomever put up with this rant for so long. I'm going to go crawl into bed even though it is only 8:40 and hope I feel better in the morning. If I don't those first graders won't be happy with me!

Hey weight loss friends!
I've missed you!
Okay, so I did have some nasty side-effects from that drug. (The doc won't admit it, but I know it.) And THEN I got the flu. I was flat on my back for three days. Yep. Boss wasn't too happy about me calling in on the busiest day we've had since Christmas.
so I'm slowly recovering. I think I'm going to take tomorrow off of subbing again, and go grocery shopping. I need fruits and veggies! I had a lot of time to think about what I need to be doing in between sleep times. I'm going to try to cut back on the hours at the second job so I can start working out more and getting some job applications done! I have to admit that my diet has been terrible. (It mostly consisted of G2!) And I may wait another 4 or 5 days until I really start to kick it back into gear, but I'm tired of being a bump on a log. If I can lose another 11 lbs on the Spring Fling, I'd be at my ideal weight, but I have to admit that i'm pretty happy where I am. I'll never be skinny, but I feel trim, and I like that.

Nice to be back. While I haven't started exercising again, I have started watching what I put in my body again. Not that I've been putting that much in!! But still. I would love to get lax right now and say-"Hey I can fit into those old jeans. I can have pizza now!!" Too bad it doesn't work that way. I have one month before Job interviews and a conference in there before that. (You had better believe I WILL be eating what I want at that!) So I guess I had better stay serious. Hey! I realized I haven't had pizza since December! That has to be a record since I started college! Cool. Okay. Off to bed. Tomorrow is my first day back subbing since I've been sick. I'll need everything I have.

Okay-
I love working at my school. For more than one reason. Today one of the other "usual" subs asked me about how I had lost all the weight. ME? I was never a nutrition or fitness person so that was def. a first! But they notice at my school, other schools never knew me before. Anyway it made me feel good. I think I need to start thinking about easing myself into a maintaining diet as opposed to a -1,000 calorie diet. Maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse, but I really am happy with how I look now. I do have another 11 pounds to hit my ideal weight. I'm thinking of moving to a -500 calorie diet. I don't know. Perhaps I'm just typing to see myself type!
Something I realized tonight that made me happy- I don't worry so much about falling off the wagon. I still need to fight and struggle (especially with exercise) but I know I can get back on. When I first started this journey I was unable to deviate from my plan because I knew I wouldn't get back on. I CAN GET BACK ON NOW! It feels good!
Today was good. Calories on target and I did an easy 20 min pilates workout. Far from strenuous, but I know I will feel it in the morning. It has been a long time since I did one of those workouts! I still coughed for 10 minutes after I did it, so probably a good place to start.
Thank you for reading my rambling thoughts!

Hi vgreet, haha you make me laugh, nattering away to yourself! You have every right to be chuffed with how you have done, I lost about 3 stone a long while back and even though I was still classed as obese, my confidence grew with every lb lost and its amazing how other people are drawn to your self confidence.
Today is Friday, I have sworn I wont work over the weekend and the sun has come out so I am feeling very optomistic and determined to have a good weekend! I hope you do too x

Kez thanks for dropping by. MollyMoo- I wish I had to dedication you have been showing.
The fact is I'm just being lazy. In all honesty, I do still think that influenza is hanging on. It's hard for me to workout still. Not so much in the out of shape way, but in a weak, dizzy sort of way. I got in some pilates the past two days only 10 min and none today. And only 10-20 min cardio in the past 3 days. I feel like I'm wandering around in a fog. My brain won't clear up and I need it to! I have job applications to finish up!
I just got back from emotional shopping at Wal-Mart. I thought I'd do that instead of emotional eating since I had a high calorie lunch. Yeah and on the way out I grabbed a bag of M&M's and ate the whole thing before I even got home. <smacks forehead>Stupid. Anyway, I know I need to get back to drinking more water/green tea and eating better. Not to mention working out. I've been getting lax on the counting cals. I'd better figure it out!

I can't believe it has been over a week since I posted! And tonight will have to be semi-short! My diet has (or lack there of) has been all over the place. Early last week I wasn't even hitting 1000 cals a day. Minimal working out. Then I went to the conference. I'm sure I got used to eating 2000 calories again. Plus sitting in seminars/driving all day. BLAH. But did come back re-energized about my photography. So basically I've been doing terrible with little or no excercise in sight.
Yesterday I didn't do too badly. I got in the best 20 minutes of kickboxing in a long time and while my diet wasn't great, it wasn't over the top. Today I was going to try to get back on track. I packed a good lunch last night and great plans for getting in 40 minutes of workout. Yeah right. I slept in. Was hungry all day- and consequently ate. Tonight I did a quick aerobic and pilates workout (20 minutes). But I did drink my green tea. Off to bed. I'm exhausted from running around so much.
To all my friends- I'll catch up on your diaries soon!

Hey MollyMoo- Funny that we were posting in each others diary at the same time!
Well-I thought I was doing pretty well on the calories, but I think I probably ended up going over again.  I don't think I was too far over... I need to be eating big calorie lunches on days like today, but I'm guessing I had 1000 calories for lunch. Not good.
While I did sleep in some today- I did get in 10 minutes kickboxing this morning and then 20 minutes pilates tonight. My tummy will be sore tomorrow! It's an improvement.
I have so much to get done this week. I need to get job applications done! My to do list is unreal, and working out is so easy to cut out of the schedule. Hopefully things will go better soon!

Yeah! I don't think I went that far over calories today. Big cheer! I do have the munchies something terrible though. It's ttom. UGH! Anyway- tried to do th e20 minutes of kickboxing this morning. I was going for high cardio. by 15 minutes in I was gassed. A mix of not working out in weeks and no breakfast. Oh well... One step at a time! Did my 20 minutes of pilates. It felt good to stretch!
That's all for now. I have job applications to get together!

I sent out 4 applications for teaching positions today. I'm exhausted. I don't know what is wrong. I guess maybe just need rest. Yesterday was too long at work. I did workout some this morning but nothing yesterday and I am sure I am over on the calories today. I need to figure out motivation again, but with a vacation in less than a week-I'm having a hard time to motivate knowing in a week I will be back off the wagon. Right now I"m at home. High cal meals and my normal workouts aren't an option.
I'm just whining. sorry everyone.

Okay,
I've been hiding in shame. Basically have fallen off the wagon. Life stresses hit all at once. Actually, everything was going great! In all different directions.  would you like to hear most of the a saga?
Okay
>Sunday March 30th- My little bro can't get back to university because of snow.
>Monday-He and I drive on some of the worst roads I have ever been on. I thought I was going to slide off the road on several occasions.
>Tuesday- Job interviews went well. I got a call that I got into graduate school (photography, not education) I got signed up for 3 weeks subbing for my sixth graders.
>Wed.-drove to denver to fly out to to CA (left at like 4:00A) Cried the whole way bout having to choose between my two loves. Stayed in CA for a week.
>Wed.-Flight was cancelled. Had to reschedule 1/2 day of subbing. Didn't get out of Denver until 10:30. In a blizzard. Had to leave my car at brothers house.
>Friday-go get my car before the job fair on sat. because everything I need is with my car.
>Sat-Job Fair.
>Monday-Drive 8 hours for interview
>Tuesday-Start subbing
>Wednesday-didn't get into applicant pool but I get an interview for a position anyway. I'm supposed to know by Tuesday if I get the job. Does this mean I need to decide by then? Try to schedule a trip to Utah. Did I mention that I'm managing the studio right now?
That was the saga until just over a week ago. Fast food has snuck back into the diet and I have no time to grade papers and apply for things let alone work out!!!! So I'm just trying not to gain weight right now. Not exactly a lofty goal, but I am going to try to cut back on junk.
Sorry for rambling.

Wow, talk about a lot going on in a lot of different directions!! I sure will be interested to hear which direction you end up heading in. You have so many choices. I am sure making a choice will be hard. But you are so young, regardless of the direction you take you will have plenty of time if you decide to change course down the road.
And regarding falling off the wagon (or horse?) now, well, that's exactly why you have cph. So someone like me can come knocking on your door occasionally and check on you. At least coming back here forces one to confront reality. Oh, those 2 evil words "fast food". I hope things calm down and you can get back into a routine soon. You were doing so well, and you will again.

Okay,
So yesterday I did well. Minimal extras. Mostly healthy, until the end of the day. I couldn't stop snacking last night. It was awful. Today I did terrible. Good intentions. Had it all planned out. At school I was terrible, and then I had Arby's for dinner. It's going to take a while to get back to where I was.
MollyMoo and Hoofprints. Thanks for stopping by and lending your support. I appreciate it.

Not so great really...
I need to get back to actually counting calories. I tend to fudge when I estimate. So, the goal for this week. Drink green tea again, and since I'm not working at Sears-get workout time in! It would be nice to break that 150 mark. I have to wear a swimming suit in front of my 6th graders, you would think that would motivate me...

I got in a workout this week, but I've been hiding from the truth. Time to fess up. I've gained back 10 pounds! In no time at all. I'm sure a little of that is water, but not much. Yesterday I was a total  . Applebees and Arby's. UGH! Maybe time to go checkout some challenges. I'm headed back to the ranch so steady fruits and veggies and standard workouts are out. I'm going to need to do something to stay on top. I tried on a pair of pants a couple days ago that should have fit and didn't  . Guess it's time to quit making excuses and get back in the game!
If only packing was a good calorie burner!

I kept hoping you would come back soon to us. I imagine it was only too easy to slip into poor choices being as busy as you have been. But you are here! And you can do it again! Do you feel like joining Peter's Challenge would help?
Why is is so hard to get fresh fruits and veggies at the ranch? I imagine you must be a distance from the market? Am I going to have to send you a fruit basket?

Hey, Vgreet...................I'm feeling your pain! Except I put over 40 lbs back on again! Why is that so easy to do.............and to lose it all over again, is so very hard? Hang in there, honey. You came back to us, so that tells me you haven't given up, right?
So, get back on the horse (haha) and ride that weight loss wave yet again 
I know you can do it.............if I can, anybody can! So let's do it!

MollyMoo and Hisgal- Thanks for the support.
MM you are right. It's an hour to the grocery store (we don't go often), and my family is the meat and potatoes type. I did join the challenge. We shall see. I would love to hit 140.
hisgal-I was on the horse today! It can be a decent workout actually! You are right about how easy it is to put it on! Not fair!
I didn't realize how big I had gotten until I saw people today that I hadn't seen in a while. They were impressed.
Today was a big calorie burning day, but I didn't stay away from the sweets like I should have. 3 cookies and Pepsi. But actually pretty good portion control over all. Headed to a graduation party. More temptation. Hopefully just try for the portion control.
Yesterday I did really well until the drive to the ranch. Then I had chips and a Pepsi. I had planned to do healthy. Why I didn't is beyond me, but oh well. Try again on the next journey to Casper. I'd really like to get a job. That would help me with stress eating!

VGreet! Posting here 2 days in a row you surely are getting back on the wagon again. And joined Peter's challenge! Good on ya! I am glad you got some positive reinforcement today from people you haven't seen in a while. Helps the perspective.
It's difficult for me to relate to living in a place where it takes an hour to get to the grocery store. Do you really mean that or is there at least some kind of small grocer closer to you? I hope at least during the summer that some folks grow fresh vegetables and fruits which you can get your hands on. Other than that, I hope you have a large freezer which you can put lots of frozen veg in. I'd be planting in some tomato plants right now if I were that remote.

MollyMoo you make me smile! It's 20 minutes to a gas station and an hour to a grocery store. Wal-Mart? 2.5 hours. Love it. So yes we have freezer space, but veggies aren't always high on the list. Gardens for veggies true, but it's been too cold. Most people haven't even planted theirs. They will start producing around the end of July.
I did really well to start with at the party tonight, but it went on with little to do and I ended up grazing too much. I did play a little volleyball. Not exactly high cardio, but better than just sitting around.
I'm beat. Will talk to you all later.

Wow. Just Wow.
I am sure I would love to experience the wow factor of being so far from everything. But I am not sure I could live somewhere without a constant supply of grape tomatoes, European lettuce blends, and sundry other produce. A different world indeed, and just a reminder to me of how spoiled I am to have everything at my doorstep.
On the flip side, you have your horses and I only dream about what it would be like to ride them!
At least the distance must make purchasing ice cream a little impractical ?

I am so sore this morning! Amazing what a little physical activity can do. My legs and arms are totally stiff. If I did that everyday I'd probably be in pretty good shape.
Already off to an auspicious start this morning. Leftovers are sitting all over- cookies, brownies, jello salads... Hi cal. It will be leftover lasagna for lunch. Ugh. Nothing low cal around. Even breakfast was a challenge. Cereal should be fairly low cal, but the neighbors gave us fresh milk. Hi cal again. So I guess that means I'll have to motivate. Maybe I can take my camera out and go for a walk. It's cloudy though. good for exercise, not for photography.
I'm just whining it will be good to be home.

| My self control is pathetic. I did really well at graduation. No cake. Completely avoided the junk and then I came home and tore into the cookies! GRRR... I had planned on going for a walk, but I was absolutely exhausted, so I went to bed instead. And now I'm high on calories and low on exercise. I'm headed back to Casper to keep packing tomorrow. I'm not sure how much exercise that will give me. Hopefully something!

Is Casper where the grocery store is? 
The WOW factor was so impressive, I told my husband about you. My hubs goes to the grocery store nearly every day. Is it all flat prairie there or are there mountains or hills?
