I’m upset, embaressed and do not feel like writing about my day. For those of you that were there, you know. For those of you that weren’t, you are so lucky…I’m too mad and upset to even go work out.

Got up and had coffee and my cereal…I was again in a hurry because I had things to do this morning but the coffee helped to curve my appitite (however u spell that). went and worked on for 35 minutes and burnt my 300 cals. I’m going to my grandmas today and am going to walk her subdivision if it doesn’t rain to finish off and if it does rain i will try to hit the gym tonight if there is time…

I bought a pedometer to show calories burned but it didn’t show the same as the machine so I’m thinking about investing in one a little more expensive…gotta get some cleaning and laundry done before grandmas and try to get homework and take home quiz done there…gonna do measurements today too!!!

Had chicken cesar salad for lunch with added in carrots and mushrooms and water…I felt so full. it’s finally getting easier in between meals.

Brought everything I needed for the rest of the night to my grandmas…

hung out with grandma and later my cousins came over…I found some workouts on her tv on demand and I tried to do the carmen electra one…I’m such a retard. really makes me wish I could dance!

After I ate my dinner tonight I was the fullest I’ve ever been in a long time. It was beef with mashed potatoes and I added in green beans and carrots. seriously, stuffed!!! wanted to go work out bc I felt so full…almost yucky…I didn’t, I came home. I need to work on homework but I’m such a lazy butt today. Guess I’ll just do it tomorrow night. I work tomorrow then work out after work. fun…

Down 12 pounds…Day 15…Day 8 NS

lwhitmer84 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:05:19 +0000

Well, hard work pays off…Dawn 12 pounds since September 10. We super tired again when I got up this morning. I think I wasn’t feeling well yesterday because I pushed too hard at the gym. Today I burned 350 cals in 45 minutes. If I do 35 min on the eliptical I can burn 300 on it. I only did 10 on the bike which burnt 50 cals but being so early in the day and having only eaten breakfast I didn’t want to push it too hard. Might go again tonight for alittle while. I have to work 12-6 today. I was going to get a short nap in before work but really don’t feel like I’m tired now…

Breakfast:
NS Sweetened O’s
yogurt
pear
water

was running late again and I ate a dinner meal instead of a lunch but at dinner i just ate a lunch. had veggies with fat free ranch with it…work was somewhat busy towards the end. was able to get my yogurt and fruit in for my afternoon snack. Ate my dinner (lunch) and went off to dekalb to look for halloween costumes and was very disappointed. gotta go to rockford to the halloween store there to get dorothy and scarecrow…so excited to finally b dorothy.

I’m writting this the day after it all happened so I’m sure I’l forgetting things…

Day 14…Day 7 NS

lwhitmer84 — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:04:30 +0000

I was having a pretty good day until I came to the conclusion that I can’t go do the one thing I’ve been waiting for for the last few weeks now…The Wizard of Oz is celebrating it’s 70th anniversary and they are showing tonight (only tonight) in select theaters, which closest one to me was Rockford. Long story short, I have too much school stuff to focus on and I’m just so bummed! I’ve been working so hard on everything else I have going on and I wanted one fun thing to do and I can’t…:(

Breakfast:
NS cranberry orange pastry (not too good)
Cantalope
yogurt
water

Lunch:
NS Cheese Tortilini
Salad with carrots and mushrooms and FF dressing
yogurt
water
Coke Zero

Afternoon Snack:
Yogurt (man, I eat alot of that)
Strawberries

Now I’m off to the gym to try to do at least 30 on the eliptical and stationary bike…I heard last night you need to burn what you intake (calorie-wise) to lose weight, but I’m just going to try to get to 500 or 600 calories. Maybe I will do well taking out some frustration. Then home to clean up, eat supper and go to the tutor…man, I’m so angry!

Well, I finally pushed myself the hardest at the gym today…burnt 500 calories. I was sooooo tired afterwards. Came home and showered and really didn’t feel too well. I only ate the main NS meal of my dinner and it was almost hard to finish it. My stomach is upset and I’m just not feeling right tonight…still have homework and studying but I just can’t seem to get anything done. I tried to go to the tutor but I was having a terrible time seeing when I was driving and again, didn’t feel well, so I turned around and came home…hope I feel better tomorrow. Still have to have my NS snack tonight but don’t know if I’ll be up to it…

Day 14…Day 6 NS

lwhitmer84 — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:43:21 +0000

I was sooooo tired this morning! I had stayed up late doing my homework and when I got to school it turns out it wasn’t even due til Thursday!!! Oh well…going to go over it tonight bc I think I might of messed up a few…

Had Breakfast:
NS Sweetened O’s
Yogurt
Pear
Water

It doesn’t say have a snack between breakfast and lunch but I worked out and am starving so I’m having a serving of cantalope. So there nutrisystem!!! LOL

Just gonna lounge around til I have to get ready for work, 12-6. I get to each lunch before I go so I won’t be too hungry and I’ll get to have my afternoon snack there too.

I fell asleep before work so when I finally got my ass up I had to scarf down lunch…chicken and noodles with catchatori sauce…it was kind of yucky, and a large salad. Rushed to work…was off at 6. I must add in the insane swarm of bugs at around 3 o’clock…it freaked me out, it was like a movie. They were swarming everyone!

I came home and got some laundry put away and took a shower…I prepared my dinner which I actually enjoyed. I was able to steam my carrots and green beans and add spray butter to them. I cut up my NS chicken breast, put it on my low carb tortilla will my 2 tablespoons of fat free ranch with lettuce and black olives (for my fat). It was delicious and I am very full!

Watching biggest loser and just trying to relax. The bf is playing darts and I’m lazy tonight because I have a very long day tomorrow…

BF still isn’t home and it’s 10:30pm…I’m having my snack. A chocolate peanut butter bar…I was only a little hungry so I thought I’d eat it so I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night. I’m just more worried because I so don’t want him to come home drunk, it’s so annoying…

Day 13…Day 5 NS

lwhitmer84 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:17:51 +0000

Having breakfast before school…

I am feeling a little tired today but I hope that goes away. I have a long day ahead of me. After school I’m heading to workout, then to Naperville to my counselor…it’s such a drive out there!

Went and worked out for 20 on the elliptical pretty hard…stomach was growling so I quit after 20, plus I had to come home and get ready for my appt. Gonna pack my lunch and bring it to my moms to eat before I go to Naperville. I’m going to finish my work out tonight. Have to come home and clean the kitchen and finish up laundry, do homework and maybe watch some of my shows. Being so busy I have to tape everything and watch it on my days off…I’m glad I’m busy though. Honest…

Brought lunch on the way…
NS Ham and Bean Soup
Califlower
Carrots
yogurt
TONS of water (3 bottles in 2 hours…I peed about 5 or 6 times)

Now I’m home and I just finished washing all the dishes…I think our dishwasher is broken because they sure weren’t clean. Had my snack…a yummy, juicy pear and I’m about to eat some more yogurt before heading back to the gym to finish my work out.

Finished work out…ran 5 out of my ten minutes on tred mill and did 20 on the bike. came home and ate dinner…

NS Sourdough Pizza (tiny but yummy)
mushrooms (added to pizza)
green olives (added to pizza)
salad (fat free ranch)

I am soooooo full right now. it feels great. I did have a diet pop today on the way home from the doctor bc my stomach was growling so much and water wasn’t cutting it…

Time for homework…

Finally done with homework at 10:30 at night…eating my NS snack…Nutrichocolates. They are pretty much little discs of chocolate candies…Early morn again tomorrow. School, workout then home to possibly nap before work…That’s the end of today…

5 whole strawberries

I clean all morning and it’s now 11:20…I’m making lunch because I am starving!!! Still have cleaning but have to take the kitten to the vet for her last set of shots then go to the gym. Then come home and get ready because I’m going to my boss’s AVON party…can u say TEMPTATION!?! She made sure to have some veggies and fruit for me tonight so I just need to potion it correctly and I should be okay. It is recommended that u don’t drink on NS so I won’t be having any margaritas tonight! I think if I eat y actually NS dinner before I go and then have the veggies and fruit at jen’s I will be alright. I’ll still get my night snack from NS too!!! well, I think lunch is ready…

NS Pasta Parm. with Broccoli (This was so gross)
1/2 cup added in extra cooked Broccoli

Off to the gym…

Could only work out for 40 minutes bc my stomach was growling so bad and almost hurting…came home and ate my fruit part of my afternoon snack…15 grapes…woopie!!! Now to get ready for Avon party. hope I can holdback from temptation…

Had supper before the party…Mac and Cheese…Nasty!!! I was able to fight temptation at the party and only had carrots, cucumbers, one slice of catalope and tons of water. If it wasn’t for the fact that I ended up with a flat tire on the way the night would of been great…oh yeah, also minus the insane hunger pains I had all night. I just had my pound cake snack…very yummy and some cold water and I am so ready for bed…Today was a blah day…a very hungry, blah day…

Day 9…Day 1 Nutrisystem…

lwhitmer84 — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:08:22 +0000

So hard to get up this morn…But I did eventually at 5:20am. Made up my breakfast add ins and entire lunch last night…

BREAKFAST:
NS Sweetened O’s Cereal with 4 oz. Skim Milk
1/2 cup peaches in water
fat free yogurt
water

might save yogurt for after class/before work…oh yeah, I’m sitting here eating my O’s and I somehow manage to spill milk and cereal all over me and my laptop…luckily I only get to put 4 oz. of milk in my cereal and I was getting close to the end of it so it was only a little milk, but still, how laptop is okay…Off to my super long day, class, work, workout, grocery shopping for the rest of the NS add-ins.

well, work…SUCKED!!!
LUNCH:
NS Tortillini
1/2 cucumber
tomatoe
fat free dressing
1/4 cup of tuna
diet coke/water

Got off work and worked out for 50 minutes then went shopping for my NS add-ins…
DINNER:
Stroganoff
salad
1/2 cucumber
fat free dressing
6 asparagus stalks
water

Now it’s time to work on getting everything cut up, in tupperwares, and clean the house…I’m pretty tired but more drained from the shitty day at work…Still get a snack later from NS…woo hoo!

Just gotta say, I now know why I never really stuck to dieting before…It is so damn time consuming to cut all that shit up! I am now having my “desert”…It’s a fudge brownie that has no visible “fudge” or any type of frosting but it does have to have the scent and after taste of “something is just not right” about it. Almost like it isn’t real chocolate or something…oh well, any form of chocolate, real or not, I’ll take!!!
