Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2005Food & Exercise -- 3/13/2004 (yesterday)
Went to the gym with DH in the late morning, then out to an Indian buffet, then to my wine group in the evening. Ate far too much :-). Seriously, I'd decided to allow myself a splurge, as I'd eaten modestly for several days and my weight is at the low end of my range, but I can definitely see the old fat person inside: I ate lots at the wine tasting even though I wasn't actually hungry, just because it was in front of me and tasted good. Wine does that to me. I'm not worried about the weight impact of this, but I'm not really happy with myself about overeating quite that much. Anyway... Food: * 8:45 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices melted f/f cheese * 2:30 (Indian buffet): 1 cup salad w/ yogurt dressing; 8 spoonsful of various dishes, mostly vegetarian; 2 pieces bread; 2 gulab jamun (dough balls soaked in sugar water); 1/2 cup fruit salad * 7:00 (wine group): 16 oz. wine; 3 oz. assorted cheeses; 3 small puff pastry triangles with mushroom filling; 8 bite-sized chocolates; 3/4 oz. mixed nuts Totals: 2558 calories, 103g fat (36%), 215g carbs (34%), 111g protein (17%) Exercise: 5K on treadmill -- repeating pattern: 4 minutes at 6.2 mph, then walking at 2 mph until my heart rate recovered to below 120 -- took 37'30" Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 > Went to the gym with DH in the late morning, then out to an Indian > buffet, then to my wine group in the evening.

You'll make up for it, though; you always do. So don't worry-- you know it was just the alcohol. I had a day like this yesterday. I didn't eat quite as much over the usual, only by a couple hundred calories, but I allowed myself to eat way too much sugar and then crashed later. Five (small) homemade chocolate chip cookies and about 1/2 oz. dark chocolate. But we went to Chili's for dinner because my BF needed to get out of the house (essay troubles) and I ordered their 'healthy' salmon entree w/ black beans and vegetables so at least I got some decent nutrition in there as well. Despite all the sugar, it was a high protein day for whatever reason-- my breakfast and lunch were almost all protein. But I couldn't resist the cookies even though I wasn't hungry. They're just too good, I guess. I'm thinking though that next time I go to Chili's I'll just order one of the heavier entrees (like a big salad, fajitas or quesadillas) and just eat half, because I sort of miss just eating for the taste of it at restaurants like that-- i.e. borderline fast-food. I usually splurge a little at nice restaurants or occasions and order richer food, and try to keep casual trips to stuff like Chili's and TGIFriday's on the healthier side. Part of the reason I really ordered salmon was to make up for eating so poorly that afternoon; the 'guiltless grill' menu is pretty bland, I mean what do you expect from a place like Chili's?

Hi Chris, Don't beat yourself up over it (although I highly doubt you are!). You have been maintaining for so many years and one day won't make you revert back to your old ways. It took a long time for you to balloon up to 262 and it will take more than a less-than-perfect day for a tendency to become a problem. For consolation, here is my Sunday: (I think we all at ASD had not-so-good Sundays) :) Cereal (1 serving) Soy Milk (1/2cup) Banana (third of) Cottage Cheese (1/5 cup) Bran Muffin (just the top of a moderate sized-one) Strawberries (about 6) Almonds (about 6) Few pieces of roasted Chicken wrapped in pita bread (maybe totalling 2oz) Salmon Sandwich (2oz) Brioche (just a sliver) Chocolate Cake (just a few bites) Pretzel (3 bites) Seafood Linguine (maybe 4-5 oz worth) Pieces of Roasted Chicken (1oz worth) Zinfindel (5-6 small sips) Tiramisu (half of a serving) soup (3-4 sips/bites) Peanuts and Cashews (1oz) Ice Cream and Cake (1oz) Ciabatta (1 4" x 5" piece) Bran Muffin (a few bites) Capresi salad (two pieces of tomato and cheese) Albeit I did not eat an entire serving of these foods, these things did manage to enter my mouth throughout the day. No worries, though. > Don't beat yourself up over it (although I highly doubt you are!). Thanks to you -- and to Sara, who said something similar. I'm not beating myself up, and I don't have any problem getting back to normal. I woke up with no appetite for breakfast but had some cereal, as I don't like to skip it altogether. I was wishing last night that I hadn't had quite as much to eat and drink, as it makes me feel uncomfortable during the night. But it's more that I find myself slightly astonished by my ability to eat a lot, sometimes :-).

I ate enough that, even today, I still am dealing with heartburn. I wanted to smoke a cig too ( 7 months quit cold turkey), so my smoker still lurks as well. I wonder if these desires to self destructive action ever go away... sigh... Good thing there's always the next meal to "fix it." I also have learned, in part from you, Chris, that a splurge doesn't mean diddly in the long term; it's what we do, by and large, day in and day out.

It took me another few years to quit again but I finally quit again in 1996. Since that time I've probably had a few but each time I remind myself how much better I feel without them. Maybe these old habits never go away completely.....we just need to keep them under control.

I took it up for a year or so in high school at 17 or so and smoked only a few a day (didn't want the parents to know-- I think my mom found them once and got incredibly mad, actually). During that whole year I never moved up to a pack or got 'more' addicted. At some point I had a 'life changing' experience, threw them away, and now I don't think I could ever touch one again-- they taste awful. Do you think some people are just physically less sensitive to the nicotine? The whole thing for me seemed very mental.

I think his smoking was linked more to the activity than an actual addiction as he never smoked otherwise. I imagine people could have a different reaction to nicotine just like they do other things such as caffeine, medications, etc. Beverly >> > Don't beat yourself up over it (although I highly doubt you are!). >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > in > and day out. My inner smoker is still alive and well after more than 7 years. You'd think the bitch would have died from lung cancer by now. ;)  Signaturethe volleyballchick Nunya B. schreef: > My inner smoker is still alive and well after more than 7 years.

Luckily my husband stopped me in time! Berna (101.5/73.6/~68 kg) Signature( )_( ) Berna M. Bleeker-Slikker / . . \ berna.bleeker@gmail.com \ \@/ / http://www.volksliedjes.nl |
