Fail

So.. As you can probably guess I have not been updating lately because I have been STUFFING my face and truly indulging my cravings ever since my birthday. I told myself I could have one day to not count calories. I took 5.
Tuesday I was good for most of the day but then had a birthday dinner with the boyfriend. Wednesday was my birthday so I pigged out and drank my face off. Repeat Thursday and repeat Friday. Oops. Today I've been nursing a hangover and really not giving a fuck what I'm eating. Oh did I mention the only day I worked out was Monday? I really don't care thought right now to be honest. I weighed myself just now at 145.2 and I've been eating and drinking lots of water so maybe I wasn't too bad. Plan is back on track for tomorrow. I need to get motivated.

Home and happy

Friday: HSGD Day 5
Weight: 145.4
In: 890
Out: 0
Net: 890/950

Being home is nice. I did the whole interview thing for working this summer and I think it went well so that's good news. It's also for a job that I have worked at for 4 summers already so I shouldn't have been worried at all. The work stuff has made me think a lot about how the boyfriend and I are going to be 6 hours apart again for another summer. It's such a bummer especially since my boss is super uptight about us taking days off. I wish I could just live with him for the summer but I would feel bad leaving my family (it is possibly the last summer I have home [let's be real probably not]) and my job is pretty high paying, definitely higher than any job I would find near his house. I need to save up the money for a new laptop and for school. I feel kind of feel bad about not even attempting to find an internship, after all I am a junior in college now. Maybe I will get an internship during school next semester, I think I will be taking a relatively light load in the fall.

This morning I got up to before the work interview to make my planned egg white omelette. When I woke up though my mother was already awake (I swear she never sleeps) and was making breakfast for the whole family. She made me a breakfast wrap which I devoured. She's a great cook, no wonder I'm huge. Anyway I counted the calories after which came out to a whooping 483. I may have overestimated a little because I don't have the exact recipe but better safe than sorry. Consequently I skipped the planned lunch. I thought dinner would be something really high calorie but mom is making shish kabobs! Mmm. I looked at the ingredients which are: Beef steaks, green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. Pretty healthy! I have 617 calories left for the day. I also swam a little, but not very long. Mostly I wanted to see if my skin had the same reaction to this pool as the pool at school. So far no rash so I think something is up with the levels at school.

Monday is the first day I will weight myself again. If I am not under 145 I will have to take some kind of drastic measure to get out of this plateau. I am so done with the 140's.

Home soon

Thursday: HSGD Day 4
Weight: 145.6
In: 1010
Out: 300
Net: 710/1000


So another very good day :) I'm on a roll and I hope to not ruin it. I have to go home this weekend so I can interview for a job this summer. I'm glad to be going home but when I am at college I don't have snacks laying around my dorm which means I won't munch out. At home the temptation is present and there are so many good things. I've decided I should bring some low calories meal replacement things such as: Soup, bouillon cube, and protein bars (I have some 200 cal ones which are really filling). Also green tea. I should always remember that. Since next week is my birthday I am assuming we are going to be having a birthday dinner on Saturday or something so I'll leave a lot of calories for that.. Here's a sample plan of my weekend.
Friday:
Breakfast & Lunch normal
Dinner: Protein bar while driving (I'll be home too late for dinner)
Saturday:
Breakfast: Egg white omelette with veggies & Green Tea :)
Lunch: Soup
Dinner: B-day dinner
Sunday:
Breakfast: Egg white omelette & Green Tea
Lunch: Protein bar driving back to school
Fruits for snacks. Hopefully now that I have written that I will stick to it. I'll put it on my phone. If I am hungry I'll have a bouillon cube. The bf wasn't going to come with me but he said he would miss me too much and was thinking of coming. I would love it if he came but he would probably make me stop somewhere fast food like to eat a "real dinner". Apparently loads of fried chicken and greasy french fries are a better meal than a protein bar.

In other news the scale said 145.4 again this morning. Same as yesterday. Same as Monday and Tuesday. I just want to be under again. I don't understand why it is taking so long when I have been so good. Usually I would have dropped 3 pounds this week with that intake. This week nothing? Maybe it is from the excess of food/alcohol last week. I'm about to cut off an arm to weigh less. I have been too scale obsessed lately, I know. I have decided that I will not weigh myself any other time than the morning. I cannot stop myself from weighing myself every day though. I have tried and I am just too curious and hopeful.


I want a pair of Hunter Boots in butter cream (color in picture) I love yellow rain boots and I have had a pair that I love love love from J. Crew for a couple years now but the seam wore on one of them and they aren't really waterproof anymore.  :( I figure I can deal until the summer when I start making the big bucks again and then I'll buy these. They're so cute!

Chlorine Burnn

Wednesday: HSGD Day 3
Weight: 146.4
In: 814
Out: 0
Net: 815/900

First off I would like to thank you for all the comments and support :) You guys keep me staying strong.

Yesterday I went to the gym with the bff and we did a little eliptical, P90X Ab Ripper X, then swam for a while. I haven't swam in almost a month and the chlorine always dries out my skin. Afterwards my skin was burning but I put lotion on and expected it to go away but it still hasn't. I have like a chlorine burn one my face and arms and legs. Today they were red and goose bumpy all day :( I think the chlorine irritated my skin, I have this skin thing called keratosis pillaris which usually isn't bad but the chlorine made it red. Guess thats the last time I'll be swimming for a while which is too bad because I like doing it.

Today I woke up and felt like crap. My skin felt like crap too burning and what not. I skipped my first class but I went to the second one. Its my math class and I always feel so behind when I miss it so I convinced myself to go. My teacher even commented to me after class that I didn't look so good. I'm not sure if its from the chlorine burn on my face or my overall sickly look. My hip flexors are dying so I gave myself a rest day from the gym. Stayed in a pretty good calories range.

I really should drink more green tea, I made it part of my everyday routine and now that I have stopped I feel worse and am not losing weight. In fact I gained from yesterday. Its so frustrating to be having a good week and to be gaining weight. I feel like such a failure but what can I do? Maybe my body is still adjusting from break. If it doesn't change after this week I know I'll have to decrease calories or something. I haven't done any of my April measurements yet because I am not at a low weight so I'm afraid I'll be huge. Plus I'm lazy so it'll wait for a little.

I'm praying for under 145 on the scale tomorrow :X It's been harder to do the second time around.
