madaboutmoose's Journal, 10 September 2009

183.6
Calories Consumed - 1523
Calories Burned - 3110

Moving back in the right direction.

I mentioned in one of my journal responses yesterday that I think I know why I took this "up fluct" so hard. It wasn't the planned "pig out at the park" feast on Saturday. It was the unplanned mindless eating I did on Sunday. I know why I did it. Hubby was not feeling well at all. Usually he drives. I drove. I was stressed and worried about him and felt guilty about having him "out" and so I ate myself into oblivion. Well, not quite oblivion because as you see I am still here!!! So there was the "mad at myself" stuff ... because of Sunday not Saturday. Interesting.

I had a strange random thought yesterday too which made me laugh ... how about the sleep diet???? If you could sleep for a week or so ... no need to eat ... and surely your body would still burn calories!!! You could do double duty ... catch up on much needed sleep and lose weight!!!

Fall is definitely in the air here. The Tamaracks are changing color already ... it has been quite nippy morning and evenings ... the air smells different.

So I will visit you at your journals ... find out which dress Cindy wore to the wedding yesterday ... if Amy bumped her head again ... how many calories did Info consume ... did Zoe escape from the yard again??? Kind of like our own docudrama ... here on fatsecret!!! Have a good day ... free of regrets, full of hope, continuing along the path of our journeys!!

Glad you are letting go of being angry at yourself. Learning what does not work for us is just as important (maybe more so) than what does work for us. :)

Dawn - indeed!! I'm done with being mad at myself. It was counterproductive at best!! Thanks for your kind words!!

Nice post moose, very peaceful, you sound just fine now. Of course the two consecutive over two pound drops must certainly be a boost. Excellent, steady work there. :-) I'm glad you are looking at my calories, that is the most important thing for me these days (the key number). :-) Are your calorie intakes usually accurate for the previous day?

Yes, my calorie intakes for the day prior to the current day (did that sound strange?) are usually quite accurate. I try to estimate as closely as I can "most" of the time!! I am feeling more peaceful. It's crazy to create my own chaos when there is so much chaos that comes my way that I have no control over!! I'm hoping to be able to see 175 by the end of the month ... we'll see how that goes!!

I am sorry about your worries, I think your husband will benefit from this positive outlook as well... keep your strengths high, both of you will need eachother to get through this.

It's always something - all you can control is your own self, and be kind - you have certainly recaptured your sense of humor!

You know what? Sometimes I think "eating big" once triggers something in us - kind of like a binge -- I guess. We "get that out of our system." Then on we go to healthier things. I smiled at your notion of a SLEEP DIET. I have often thought to myself, "If I could just go to sleep and wake up skinny." So far it has never happened. Your mention of the SLEEP DIET also reminds me of the old classic (trashy) novel "The Valley of the Dolls." He-he-he-he-he! The story is fiction - of course - but with the Hollywood version of such a plan wealthy women paid physicians to keep them anesthetized for two weeks, woke up thin, and attended premieres in sleek gowns. These same "Hollywood wives" also paid doctors for "pep pills" to be spunky and sleeping pills to rest. It's a good thing that was JUST a book - huh! By the way - thank you for your expert counseling skills in your comments on my journals. Thanks sooooo much!
