vadsie's journal v.2.0

[vadsie]

Agreed. Well today was pretty chillax, toast for breakfast, two ham sandwiches for lunch, and hamburger and kraft dinner for supper with some potato chips for a snack, work was tiring so I’m heading to bed. Gn

[vadsie]

Well I ate at a restaurant for the last 4 meals cuz I’m on a business trip and I don’t plan ahead. My next step on the agenda is to eat paleo cuz it looks like a healthy way of eating, I plan to ease my way into it not full on head first. I have to be mindful of my diabetes and this will regulate my blood. Good night

[-Lucifer]

Yes, Paleo is a good move.

[vadsie]

Hello, I’ve not gotten to the point where I eat paleo but I’ve guesstimated my cals today to be around 2800 and I will go to bed and do my damnedest to not eat again, tomorrow I will eat another thxgiving meal. Started wearing the Fitbit again. Shoutout to ananda and luci for following along and posting encouragement, if you guys didn’t care I’m not sure I would 👊🏻

Good to hear. "Baby steps" seem to be working and you should stick to it. Progress is being made by Vadsie.

And no worries. That's what we're here for.

Vadsie, I read your log with every update and lately each update has brought a smile to my face. You’re doing great, and step by step you are starting to take back control of your life. That is a HUGE first step to take. Great job man, now just keep on the right path!

[vadsie]

aww tnx dudes today was a "eff it" kinda day with all the tnxgiving food. i entered half of tomorrows meals in the myfitnesspal's website so i shouldn't be guessing what to eat tomorrow and say "eff it" there again. I still gotta research paleo, doing so will take a couple weeks, and this will be a gradual lifestyle change, not a temporary cutting diet. im thankful this eating holiday is over!

[vadsie]

Today was an interesting day, but with this illness it doesn’t surprise me. My voices forced me to stay home from work after lunch and they continued to aggravate me throughout the evening, which led me to decide to quit working all together. After much arguing and negotiating they decided to let me lose weight if I continue to work. So things will start picking up soon if they keep their word. I also realize I’m addicted to junk food now, if they’re true to their word I will eat better but baby steps, if I go too hard right away it’ll be discouraging. Good night folks 😴

Stay strong, V. Get rid of all the junk food you can. If you still want to indulge, keep it out of sight because it's easier to get tempted if you see the food.

[vadsie]

Hi friends, guess I’ll update the ol log, I was 356.0 this morning, and today was good. I felt good all day, and last night it was easy to say no to my voices. I didn’t update for awhile cuz I felt it was taking long to make progress and I didn’t want to log any non progress. Sry. Glad it’s the weekend. Night.

I'm glad to hear that. Keep at it!

Excellent. Keep going, V.

[anandagirl]

Sometimes the times you don't feel you want tp update are the times you should. We won't judge you, we've all been there, but it could help you

[vadsie]

Tnx ananda, sometimes my illness controls me and I don’t wanna keep talking about them. Oh well tnx for the pep talk. 🙂

[cherrygarcia80]

keep fighting the good fight vadsie! Glad to see you are still hanging in there, all the best

[anandagirl]

Thinking of you Vadsie! Let us know how you're doing

[vadsie]

Hi y’all! Sry haven’t been updating much, busy with work and coming off a med that didn’t do my appetite any favours. I’m happy to be back to 356. Been reading an awesome book about alcohol (love reading about the stuff) called Alcohol Explained by William Porter. It is teaching me so much. My appetite is pretty much back to normal. Time is on my side. Anywho welcome back cherry, glad to see you updating again . Hi ananda, nice to see you posting in my journal . Have a good night y’all!

[vadsie]

hi thereee! quick weight update. 355.0 as of this morning! holla!

[vadsie]

Hi there, the goal for this week is 353. It will take awhile for me to get where I want to go so I might as well get comfortable. I’m eating less but I don’t know the exact calories. When I wake up I just eat whatever I find then say “effit”. So I’m semi counting. I had a mini binge last night meaning 2 cookies and 2 hotdogs with a tall glass of apple juice that I didn’t want to eat. But if I make it to 353 it won’t matter. My diet isn’t all junk food. Putting everything I eat into a calorie counter doesn’t sound good to me. I’m either too lazy or I really don’t want to do it. So I opt for the next option, which is to guess how much I’m eating. I know once the ball is really rolling I’ll make more improvements. But the lazy way is the current way I’m doing things. See y’all later.

[vadsie]

Things are going well. I just took my sugar and it’s 6.3! I’m still around 355, oh well as my sugar and diet improve I will lose weight. Ty for reading

[vadsie]

Hola! Today I am 354.4. And this morning I was 7.6 for sugar. Woot!

[anandagirl]

Yeah!!!

[vadsie]

Tnx ananda 🙂 . Well today I’m 353.6. Eating less sugar and healthier, yay!

[vadsie]

Hello folks, haven’t been trying to lose these last couple days, I had other things to worry about. But that’s over with so tomorrow I will count calories. Have a smashing night guys. You deserve it!

[vadsie]

Heyyy there , hows everything been going with you all? im not far from my last post's last weigh in. i think my lowest from last post has been 353.6 and im currently at 357.4. Holidays were tough. and today was especially tough. for no apparent reason my illness wanted to ruin my day and they got their wish. but im trying to put today behind me. hopefully tomorrow is a better day. im going to start counting calories tomorrow. i know for a fact i can sleep without eating. so its time to get up on the horse and start moving. todays meals weren't straight garbage but not as healthy as they should be. tomorrow will be better. im off for now, im happy to be back.

[vadsie]

Hi hi, hope y’all are doing good. I’m doing pretty good. I’ve cut down on junk food. Like today I didn’t have any. And eating real food. I’m a little hesitant to exercise cause I dunno what my future is like. I really don’t like doing things that seem pointless, like using exercise to cut calories when they’ll get negated by junk food consumption. When things get rolling so will I. Work was actually pleasant today, sure my illness had its moments but it was swell. Have a good day and take care.

[vadsie]

Hi, my weight is around 358. I’m way too lazy. Ate 3 pizza pops for lunch 1 muffin 8 cheese, crackers, and garlics. And 2 plates of Chinese food. Will keep updating and will report my food and exercise. I have a Fitbit so that’ll motivate me, will see y’all later.

[vadsie]

Woke up, took a wizz, now I weigh 354.8!

[GirthRogers]

You should plan one day each week to eat a predetermined diet plan and follow it. Do that for a few weeks then do two days a week and do that for a month or two before adding a third day.
You should put in some kind of exercise plan too. Any thing at all, but get up and moving.

You have potential, use it!
