Well it's been
awhile
since I've been back on this site and I have to say that all these features are a little overwhelming. I kind of appreciated fatsecret more when it was about just a person's thoughts. That's not to say that some of the added features aren't helpful - such as the diet calendar. But I
really
hope they don't go down facebook's path of adding irrelevant features (i.e. today's horoscope).
I've slowly been doing more and more good things for myself, and deliberately avoided recording my weight (until about a week ago) or done anything on this site so that I didn't jinx my progress. I think the hardest part about losing weight is when you see the numbers actually begin to lower, then think it's okay to eat a cookie because you've lost x amount already. Yup. Lame I know.
But I'm happy to report that although the weight loss has been minimal in number, I've been receiving compliments from family and friends who've commented on my face looking thinner, and stomach less round. It's very nice (and blunt) to hear! Dangerous for me (because of the above reason) but still nice.
Well anyway, I hope you all are doing well! Thanks for reading!

WOW! Summer is over! And I'm frightened beyond belief to go on the scale. I haven't once gotten on it for fear of breaking it or something even more humiliating! This summer was a blur of work and house activities. I've got a new home! And it's taken a lot of my time lately. Before the house it was the full time 17 credit schedule I had to catch up on before this upcoming fall starts. I know I know...
I'm a BS-er
. I'll say it! I'm a B.S.-ER! I hate people like myself. People who say one thing then do another thing. In my own case I said I'd concentrate on my body and lose weight. That hasn't happened the way I wanted it to this summer. Like I said I haven't even weighed myself once during the summer and I don't think I'll be weighing in on fatsecret until I'm comfortable enough-- or until I'm fully focused. Which can take a bit longer, probably till we're fully moved in. Yes, it's a little stupid but I know it'll be worse for me if I saw my weight, and definitely not help to get started again.
Anyway, this was just my chance to breath, finals just ended and the house has finally closed. And since I haven't had an update in a long time I thought I would sit down and start up again, blogging anyway. I've also been reading others progress and it's truly amazing, I think, how some have done.
Congratulations to those who didn't give in! I wish you luck in your perseverance, you inspire people like me to just shut up and do it!

So much like my last post, lately I've been feeling like crap, what. a. surprise. It's a combination of things, some that are in my control and some out of my control. My schedule still hasn't gotten any better, in fact it seems like it's been getting busier; my calenders practically full with red circles, marking dates for finals/papers/projects that are coming up or due. It sucks to be me I guess. I was once talking to a friend and we both agree that dieting is a full time job and if you can't keep up then you inevitably lose track and eventually get your ass kicked.
I have somewhat gotten better in the mornings with the right food and I've tried portioning the bad food so it won't be as bad but that hasn't helped my weight as you can see from my weight chart. What a shock huh? In my last post I received some advice on how to handle the pressure of a full time schedule and I appreciate the many useful tips and advice you've all given me. However I have tried them all and they all work for the first week then I get behind once more.
So here I am again, talking about how much I suck, which I really do. lol. One positive thing is that these last few months have really made me angry and very disappointed. I promised myself that this wouldn't happen, that I'd always figure something out and here I am still at 166, which isn't any better than 171 (my beginning weight). So I've sworn that once my last final is over and I drive back home, I WILL stop by the YMCA and sign up for summer membership. I've also made a contract with my boyfriend (yeah a real written up contract, signed and everything) that we will go together three times a week and on hikes with our dogs twice a week. And if we don't there will be penalties.
I know what your thinking... that this girl is reaching for way too much but you know what, two years ago two hours at the gym was a daily routine for me I pushed myself to go every single day. Which in retrospect might have been a little excessive but still the feeling was GREAT. I want that back. I REFUSE to go back to 171 and refuse to let this happen.
Viva la revolution!
LOL, it felt like a moment to add that. Good luck to you!

I've been feeling horrible, guilty, stressed, fat and so on and on. I've gained three-fourths of my weight back in just a few weeks. Of course, I blame no one but myself. One thing I will mention however, is that I no longer have the same schedule as when I first started FF. My scheduling is much tighter, I have two to three classes each day for five days a week. Most of these days I get no lunch break and don't have enough time to have breakfast, leaving me very hungry and very tired by the end of the day. I have no time to cook a healthy dinner by then so I resort to eating out; I've noticed it's been getting worse and worse as the weeks progress. From mild noodle soup to pizza and processed burgers. It's sick really, because I think these foods are the most disgusting things I can put into my body however eat it anyway. I have tried to cook my dinner before hand, so that when I come home I can just turn on the oven and stick that marinated chicken and presto it's done. I've only found that successful one time. I hope that my next entry is due to more positive results, however I don't see it happening too soon, or at least until I can get my schedule worked out.

So... I've (once again) begun to spiral downward in my diet. Le sigh. I'm not too off course as of yet but I'm sure if I keep heading in this direction I can definitely get into the danger zone -- a very bad thing. The biggest conflict I see is with the psyllium husks. Is anyone else experiencing issues with psyllium and birth control? The book has acknowledged that it may effect the effectiveness of birth control if taken at the same time as the supplement. It recommends taking the supplement or BC HOURS before taking the other. This is the only part of the FF diet that I'm wary of. Maybe I should stop the psyllium and continue with just the cran-water and flaxseed. Does anyone know of a replacement for psyllium which won't effect BC?
Besides supplements I've recently purchased my first batch of whey protein powder (vanilla). I only bought the small pack to try it out first. The salesman recommended strawberry, which I'm thinking about getting for my next batch, that is if I end up liking whey. Also when I was looking around the store I found a few interesting things that so far seems to be allowed on FF's regiment. Along with the Whey, I bought a "Liver Detox" tea by a company called Dr. Stuart's Only Natural Products. It's natural, made of "a unique blend including dandelion root, centaury herb and milk thistle" and it is naturally caffeine free, a definite plus for fat flushers. I haven't gotten a chance to taste it but will update anyone on how it is if interested when I do (I'm making a some now, in fact).
I hope you all are thriving on your dieting and wish myself luck as well.
