Trouble Breathing

Filed under: Uncategorized — brownbean on June 13, 2007 @ 7:46 am

I went home early yesterday because I was feeling so awful and today - back at work I only feel marginally better.  I weighed 143 this AM down 2 pounds but I don’t set too much store by this… I’ll probably gain it back by morning.  I’m planning for a low day today.  I had the yoghurt/apple/bran buds for breakfast and then the 160 calorie muffin here and for tonight the ENORMOUS salad with 1 cup of egg white.  This should round out to about 766 calories.  But I just did the calculations here on paper.  I’ll have to crunch the real numbers when I get home.  I feel pretty lousy right now though - can’t breathe - zoned out.

Weight Loss… or Gain

Filed under: Uncategorized — brownbean on @ 6:22 am

This morning I weighed in at 145.  I don’t know what it is about my body that makes it so opposed to dropping one pound unless I suffer 3 or 4 days for it.  So 145.  That sucks.  And today I packed my lunch: 160 calories of Carb fit yoghurt, 1 fuji apple = 70 cals.  I had 80 cal or soymilk with coffee and then, because I was beside myself with hunger, I had 2 blueberry muffins which = 320 calories.  So after I eat the huge salad I’ve prepared for myself and the 1 cup of eggwhites for dinner - I should land at 856 calories.  I think I’ll put Braggs amino acids on the salad with a spoonfull or so of plain yoghurt.  Then I’ll land at around 956.  So this way I’m still under 1000.  I’m fully convinced that I need to eat less than 1000 calories to lose any weight.  God knows when I eat 1300, 1200 or even 1100 the best I do in break even.  In hindsight I shouldn’t have eaten the muffins.  Maybe it’s this cold that causes me to be so ravenous.  I doubt it though - I’m ravenous all the time.  God I hate my body.  I feel like it operates in every way to spite me.  It feel sometimes like it knows I’m trying desperately to lose weight so it digs it’s heels in so I won’t lose a pound.  Again - I think that I have to be indescribably miserable and very hungry to lose any weight.  I know that in the past when I’ve dropped weight I’ve lost because I felt very hungry all the time.  I can feel myself getting thinner.  God I’m so frustrated.  I’ll give the final crunch when I get home.

Monday Morning

Filed under: Uncategorized — brownbean on @ 6:39 am

Monday morning and my throat is and has been sore.  I can only guess that it’s allergies.  I started the day by packing my yogurt and apple with pumpkin seeds for lunch - planning to eat jusp that and then egg white and loads of veggies for dinner, but when I got here a co-worker had made a cake.  Naturally I had a piece though I think that it must have only had 300 calories for the size piece I took. 

 I swore I wouldn’t dwell on CRON here but I decided that I wasn’t Croned enough.  I mean I’ve been doing this since January and I haven’t lost a pound.  Well maybe I lost one pound, but by now I should be down at least 10.  So I conclude I’m not eating enough veggies.  I need to eat less generally- like stick to 1000 calories, and eat what I’m suppoed to.  I should also cheat less - so I thought I would use this in addition to COM as ways to keep myself from cheating.  THere’s nothing like having to report your daily weight. 

So to start - I’m 5′ 4″ and I weigh 143.  My goal weight is 112-115.

 My new quotidian diet will be 2 carb fit yogurts, 1 apple, 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1 cup of eggwhites and 10oz or so of mixed raw greens, mushrooms, and the like.  That should only be around 600 calories and leave me a lot of wiggle room.  ALso, this way I have room to change my veggies from time to time for cariation.  Thus far it seems I’m consistently low in potassium and zinc, so I can throw in a few pieces of Raw sweet potato that’s loaded with potasium and maybe a smoked oyster or two for zinc.  I keep wanting to get hazelnuts but I can’t seem to find them anywhere.  Maybe I’ll just stick to almonds.  I love pine nuts.  I wonder what they hold nutritionally.
