TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 That sounds like a fun time though Sometimes it's okay to sacrifice your healthier eating for your mental health (aka time with friends). I'd go crazy here alone if I didn't go out places with friends sometimes. 1 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi Becomes Her Own Hero Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #58, #59, #60, #61, #62, #63 Link to comment
RedPandaOne Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 It was fun. I hadn't seen her since I think March. Every time we tried to hang out since then something has come up and we've had to cancel. I wish we could have spent more than just an hour, but it's always great seeing her. She's been a great sounding board for me the last couple months. Not sure I really would have survived it if she wasn't there for me. 1 Quote "You won't find your answers by looking to the stars.

RedPandaOne Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think I've come up with a plan for the next challenge. 1) Track AND measure all food. I'm fine with tracking, but I think I've become off on what my serving sizes actually are. 2) Do a streak of no k-cup chai lattes. Basically just see how long I can go without them. I'm going to see if I can do a streak instead of saying "only x amount is allowed per week". 3) Get off my ass and exercise. It's just become so hard since everything started going downhill. So, do ANYTHING at least twice a week. And of course, the challenge starts on my off week to begin with. I'll figure out something... 1 Quote "You won't find your answers by looking to the stars.

RedPandaOne Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Back to tracking here!!! Went out with my friend at lunch again, she totally needed to vent, and I don't blame her. Actually ate my lunch around 12 because I was starving. It was just a cheese sandwich. Got my chai smoothie, and we ended up walking around downtown instead of just sitting at the cafe. So, got some bonus steps in! I think the next week and a half will be a good measure of my food intake and if dinner is as much as a problem I think it may be. My parents are going to be out of town and I'll be in full control of all my meals. Which is going to be hilarious since my cooking skills are minimal at best. My friend was laughing at me when I was telling her it took me 20 minutes to cut up some peppers the other week, and my mistake in college of using cinnamon in a steak marinade instead of something else (I still can't remember what, but they looked the same in the spice cabinet and I didn't read the label properly before using).

RedPandaOne Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 So, the trend I see so far: left on my own I tend to under eat. Yesterday, I ate 1,224 calories. According to fitbit, I was under goal by 400 something calories. I already have it set at a 500 calorie deficit. Oops. I will most likely eat everything back on Sunday at the faire. 1 Quote "You won't find your answers by looking to the stars. It's a journey you'll have to take by looking inside yourself.

Tombo of Endor Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Balancing how much food to eat is hard. That's something I'm trying to learn myself, especially since I started lifting recently. But yeah, be careful of eating too little, it can make you less productive and tired and stuff I just got back from vacation and while I kept myself happily active (even took a 26# KB with me), nevertheless, the "fork discipline" was definitely relaxed. Now it's back to managing the IM/eating window and lack of time to eat quiet and unhurried. Yesterday at work we ran ourselves right into a bonk ... We were just gi-normously starved after having "any time" meal flexibility on vacation. Oops! And trying to keep healthy eating materials at work is impossible: not enough refrigerator space, no prep area. Balancing the whole smash is a Dark Art. 2 Quote Human ...

RedPandaOne Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Had one of my rare vegetarian days. And, I can say I didn't under eat. I only tracked 1268 yesterday, but the two pieces of lemon crumb cake thing was not included (because I don't know the information). So in reality I'm sure I'm up around 1400.

RedPandaOne Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Went vegetarian again on Friday. But went back to meat over the weekend. But, I do think it's good that I can go a day or two without eating any. Not something I'm going to make as a lifestyle, but overall health taking a day or two here and there can't be a bad thing. Went up to New Hampshire with my friend on Saturday. I hit up the tea store in the mall. Just wanted to get a new tumbler, but ended up buying about $90 worth of tea. Which then ended up all over the trunk of my car. Someone cut me off on the highway forcing me to slam on my brakes. The bag tipped over and the caps came off the tea. And of course it was the more expensive green tea that emptied the most. Luckily my trunk is usually only used for shopping bags, so it's fairly clean. So I just scooped up most of it and put it back in the container. There's still some back there I need to vacuum out. My car smelled like tea this morning. This morning's tea is Chinese sweet tea mixed with green tea. I like it. The sweet tea is sweet enough to cover the taste of the green. This will most likely be my go to. I'll try the black and green tomorrow. And the whole reason we went to NH, I got my roller derby gear! Actually met one of the girls whose on the league I'd be joining. She was working at the shop and fitted me for everything. She even almost convinced my friend to join. Which I think she will eventually, because she was interested in it a couple years ago. I figure, if I don't like derby, I now at least have all the gear to just roller skate for fun and get exercise that way. I'd need different knee pads, but that's okay. I had a slight panic attack yesterday. What the hell did I get myself into, I can get seriously hurt. But, I could get seriously hurt snowboarding or skiing too. Hell, I almost got shot when I was doing archery. I just hope that I like it and that I make the team. 1 Quote "You won't find your answers by looking to the stars.

karinajean Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm so excited about you and derby! and thankful you could save most of the tea. my trunk is so horrible that I was cringing until you described your lovely clean trunk.

RedPandaOne Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I stared at it all for like 5 minutes debating on whether I should or not. I even texted my friend and she agreed to do it. I'm pretty sure my neighbor heard some choice words when I opened my trunk. I was really relieved when I remembered that I don't really use my trunk a lot. When I did it was for archery, so the only things going in were my bow and quiver w/arrows. Now, if I had driven my mom or dads car, I would still be sitting in the driveway crying over the lost tea, lol. I even thought of grabbing the containers and receipt and going to the nearest store and seeing if they could refill it for free. Doubt it would have happened, but a girl could try.

RedPandaOne Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes!! The girl who was fitting me for the gear said the same thing. I'm basically going to be doing a squat for 2 hours during practice. The only downside is that one leg will get bigger because you only skate left, so I'll have to figure out something to help off set that. I'm thinking of looking at what speed skaters do, since they essentially do that same thing, just on ice (and it's actually illegal for them to knock people off the track...).

RedPandaOne Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Last night I decided to put on my skates and skate around the house. I was fine on carpet. Then I hit the fake tiled kitchen floor. To say I looked like a drunk Bambi on ice is not enough. I couldn't even stand still without flailing my arms, lol. I have some work to do. My friend is going to help. She's gone this weekend (and I get to sit her sweet dog!), but will help me next week. I have no idea what I want for dinner tonight. The taco meat and pulled pork are over a week old, so they should be tossed. I don't feel like chicken. And there's no Hot Pockets (which is a good thing). I can't even make my own hot pockets since I think the ham should be tossed too. My mom bought it on 8/22. I don't want to spend the money to pick something up. I'm screwed.

RedPandaOne Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Dinner ended up being tortilla scoop chips with cheese melted on them and milk, I really wasn't hungry for a full meal. My sandwich and smoothie filled me up more than I thought. And I just booked my first real official (non friend) client. Four days a week for the month of October. A little panicked because I told a friend I would watch her dog for a long weekend in October. This person wants me for an hour. So, haven't figured out how I can do both during my lunch break as planned. I'll figure something out. 1 Quote "You won't find your answers by looking to the stars.
