Soooo alright. Not sure if that title is grammatically correct, but it's too late now.

 

According to the grape vine, these daily logs are really quite helpful. So let's give a shot, eh? I am starting this a few days late, since I already started exercising and a changed diet.

Nerdery of the day

Got my DK to 85. This weekend will probably get her to 90.

 

Thoughts?

I'm out of snackable veggies and mushrooms. Will need to get some. So far so good not breaking and getting anything I didn't intend to at the store! Hooray! It helps to have a hard copy list made before I go, no room to be like "welllll that may have been on the list." Oh and eggs! I need eggs too. Nothing but tea again today, not quite the 2 L mark, but I'll get there before the day is out. Feelin pretty good though. I did start getting that nagging feeling in my stomach. It's rough when your roommate leaves out her coupon's for 2 large pepperoni pizzas laying on the dining room table, since my first instinct was "man, I should get some pizza." Ah well. She's moving in December anyway. I think I'll get a dog. It was horribly windy today, my eyeballs are dried out. Makes me feel like I'm really tired.

 

Attached are recent photos for comparison's sake.

They are helpful.  

 

Are you tracking calories with anything like My Fitness Pal?  Might help.  Looks like a good start on your journey.  

[Killyourfeet]

Day 2! Hurrah.

 

I'm going to start counting up the calories, carbs, all that. I don't want to, but I guess I need to know.

I think sugar consumption is a tad on the high side. I also went on myfitnesspal and got some baseline numbers, something to aim for at least.

 

Cal: 1200

Carb: 180g (this seems high to me)

Fat: 44g

Protein: 50g

Sodium: 2500mg

Sugar: 26g

 

Sooooo that's what I'm aimin for. Well, for sodium, sugar, carb I'm gonna try to reduce that a touch.

Thoughts?

A word on Bubbie's pickled stuff: FUUUUUUCK. I'm not one to curse, but oh my God I've never eaten a pickle so good. I mean, I just...I can't even. Most pickled foods come in that super saturated green-tinted demon-juice and may have at one point been a vegetable. Not Bubbie's. Goodness. I may never recover. It's taking every last shred of willpower I have to not devour that whole jar. In other news, I did deviate from my shopping list. And I'm not even sorry. Because as I was on my way to other things that were on my list, I passed the hot sauce section and they had Gringo Bandito's! My all time favorite hot sauce that used to be only available locally. Now I can get it a whole state away! Today has been a good day.

[Killyourfeet]

Bleh I'm tired today. By the time I settled down last night after workout it was 1am and I had to be up at 7am. That's what I get.

Anyway, yesterday was yesterday, today is day 3.

Nerdery of the day

Apparently, you are no longer limited to one netherwing mount. You can get all six. Totally made my day.

 

Thoughts?

TotM starting soon, anticipate to lose noticeably after that. Probably why I'm so tired. Note to self: probably shouldn't eat a whole sweet potato for dinner. That was a tad much. Made my sugar intake for the day waaaaay too high. And yet way under the mark for calories. However, that teriyaki salmon was wonderous. I bet if I ate just that and the veggies, or just a few pieces of sweet potato, would be great meal. I just got overzealous. Other than that...I'm pooped.

TotM started today, will be good to go in two days. I have an organic chem test next Friday, it is study o'clock. Like, super serial study. But I feel so unmotivated. And tired all the time. And apathetic mostly. Also anatomy test on central nervous system that I should do on Monday. Physics test week after. IN OTHER NEWS! My butt touches my feet! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy. I must mark this day on my calendar, titled: What's got two thumbs and is not a fatass? This chick. Also, I have an ant issue Well, you're S.O.L fellas, ain't no food in here. Guess they're not hurting anything, they're just poking around. Hopefully they give up soon. They're shiny and small and they freak me out.

[ZalatwicZach]

Hahaha your posts make me laugh (in a good way)! Written like a true Chemist...ions and all! Well done on getting your feet to touch your butt...you're my hero! I'll be following your progress, silly badger:)

[Killyourfeet]

Alright, so the ant problem is getting out of hand. They're on the ceiling! Why would there be food on the ceiling, ya silly wee bollocks?! Don't make no sense. I'm hankerin' for some beef jerky. And out of bananas. Will need to make a trip to the store tomorrow. *Sigh*. Well, at least I'll be getting some sunshine, I pulled a typical me and haven't set foot outside the house in the daytime since Friday. Maybe that's why I'm sleepy? I'm like a sunflower that didn't see the sun. Just hang my head and look all gloomy like. Anyway, I'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow for the first time in 6 days. Should be interesting. Also update photo. And uh...homework. And physics, and organic chem. And anatomy. Any way, movie time! I think I shall watch...300. Yeah. Seeing those manly men running around like badasses will give me some motivation for this week. Excluding the leather thongs. Seriously, fellas. Pants never hurt anyone.

[Killyourfeet]

Hello day 6!

So, I weighed myself this morning.

 

Wt: 220 lbs

 

 

Meaning, 4 lbs lost. Er...wait. 6 lbs. Right? I can't do math in my head. It's a good thing they're gonna let me give people medication in a few years.  

 

Anywhoozies.

(Never said that before in my life, not sure why that came out.)

Nerdery of the day

My favorite chemistry poem:

"Once I was a chemist,

But I am no more.

For what I thought was H₂O

Was H₂SO₄."

 

Thoughts?

Looong day. But I had it off, so it was alright. I'm starting to love this routine. Like, hard work every other day. Exercise-wise, I mean. I'm starting to look forward to it. Which is weird. I did have a crazy craving for cake today. I almost talked myself into going to the store and getting some. But I think I'm going to wait a bit longer. Thanksgiving's coming up, and I want to have an established habit before I go ahead and indulge for a day. Gonna be rough, since everyone knows I love to eat anything and everything...Yikes. Well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. In the meantime, good work, self!  

[Jittersthe.Clown]

That poem is great.  Good job on the weight loss and your kicking it on your workouts.  Keep up the great work.

[IronGlider]

Haha awesome post today Anneh! :-D

Great job too and boy do I know how easy it can be to get into a nut-crave! Hence why I've decieed to have them every other day.

P.s. Totally awesome costume idea!

[Killyourfeet]

One week! Oh, happy day

Not my best day so far. And I fear it's not over yet, my stomach is loud today.

 

Today's exercise

Swimming! 30 min. It's windy and around 16°C out, so I'm a touch chilly.

Since I over did it today on food, gonna run for about 15 minutes. Not quite ready for interval training, maybe will kick that up tomorrow.

Bleh today was bad food-wise. Around 11am my stomach started tugging on my shirt sleeve, whispering with its oh-so-seductive voice, "I've noticed you haven't had a peach pie in a few days. I thought you loved peach pie? It's your favorite, right? You've done so well, why don't you go get one? Maybe just a piece. Or some cheez-its. I know that cheez-its are your favorite food. You deserve to have your favorite things. No? Then please...feed me sweets and salty things, I'm dying." *ensue world's tiniest violin*

Me:

 

Relax, Growly McGrowlinson, you're gonna get the works in 15 days. You can hold out until then. Heading to the grocer store was dangerous at that point, but I only got veggies and beef jerky. And...a huge-ass steak. Blue. Yes. You got a craving, I'll give ya something to crave! But pleh...hopefully I won't break on that. At least everything I ate was healthy. As in paleo. Not like cupcakes or anything. I almost wish I hadn't tallied everything up, now I'm settling into a "screw it, I already went over" type attitude. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Lots of pictures in my posts lately. My apologies for the lengthiness of each post as a result. It's horrendously windy today and my eyeballs are burnin'.

[Killyourfeet]

It's getting louder. I been sitting staring at the computer screen for 20 minutes with my eyeballs looking like dinner plates.

I ate a pickle and some beef jerky. It is not appeased. Aaaaaaaaaaggghhhh.

Come on, self. You don't need cake. You don't need sugar. Or hydrogenated fats. You've made hydrogenated fatty acids before, you know how gross it is.

My eyes are super tired, too. I dunno, just been an off day. 

Chewing gum isn't helping. I think I just need to put on a movie and lay down.

Hm...I'm feelin' Woody Allen. Crimes and Misdemeanors it is. One piece of jerky, and that concludes the evening.

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Your write ups amuse me greatly.  The light saber tooth tiger makes me want to buy a shirt.  

 

Perhaps drinking more water will help with keeping your stomach full?  I don't know how much you are drinking now, but I have found it to help me.  Best of luck as you continue to rock.

[Duality]

I saw that French title, I knew I had to partake in this thread.

 

FIRSTLY, La feuille de contrôle DE la bataille d'Annie.

 

Close, ..., very close.

 

Anyways, the French that I am, I felt the need to correct that. *French OCD kicking it*

 

Like Jitters, I found great amusement reading your "thoughts". I like how your putting yourself out there, it enables us to keep your accountable for your actions, either good ones or bad ones

 

Also, since your name is Annie, do you speak French by any chance, I don't get to speak French to anyone except Nuala!

Lordy, I knew there was something wrong with it. Thank you for pointing it out Now that I look at it, da? Really? Had to throw a little Slavic in there, see who's paying attention

Glad you're likin' it, I do my best

I'm not fluent in French, unfortunately. I live in a place where if you bust out any language other than English or Spanish, you get threatened with a priest visit for an exorcism. Joking...mostly.

Yes! I would buy that shirt. In fact, the hunt begins.

I think it may have just been tiredness, after lying down I felt better I typically consume no less than 2L of tea per day (homebrewed, nothing added) and add water on top of that if I feel thristy. It does help

And thank you much

[Duality]

Also, that translates to Annie's battle control sheet. What's a control sheet? lol

[Killyourfeet]

I work in a hospital, we use control sheets for things like inventory, inpatient med records, things like that.

I don't know outside of that, though. Just an organizational tool.

Had to nerd it up a bit

[Duality]

That works Frenchy approves haha

[ZalatwicZach]

Is your name really "Annie"? I thought that it was "Tauren" 

 

It's great that you are doing weight-training! It will make you strong like bull!

 

You seem to be eating very little...don't you get hungry? I'd be chewing my arm off!
