Emails from one roommate to another during work.
Liia: (sends a flyer asking for volunteers where dinner will be provided. dinner is bolded.)
Roommate: lol I like how “dinner” is bolded. you know how to get me interested…what is it though? is it a fruit plate with cheese cubes? or is it DINNER dinner
L: Catered dinner. Last time it was fancy and weird but the rolls with butter were delightful.
RM:mmm weird catered dinner....
my posture is terrible
but my water drinking is fabulous today!

Now don't get me wrong, I freaking love kids.
But housesitting and kidsitting this week is making me have “I WILL NEVER HAVE CHILDREN” impulses for a handful of reasons.
1) Getting up and going to an exercise class at 4:30 am is incredibly difficult when a 10 year old has a nightmare and you are woken up at 1 and then must talk to her and pet her head and rub her back until she falls asleep at 2 and then you try to fall asleep...

Successfully went to bed NOT FEELING SICK last...
success all around. Bootcamp in the AM, not too full in the PM, and I picked up a brownie, had a bite, realized I wasn’t hungry and put that brownie down (major points for me.)
Today I have had coffee and apparently it was strong because my heart is RACING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I’m pounding water hoping it will calm down. Isn’t coffee supposed to help you do things? I feel...

So I've been thinking about mindful eating.
And I’m working on it. Knowing when you’re full and knowing when you’re hungry as opposed to using food for other purposes and just eating when it’s time or eating when you feel sad or eating when yofu eel stressed etc. My friend had been feeling sick and hadn’t been able to keep uch down and the other night we went to dinner and she said she hadn’t felt FULL in so long it felt weird and I thought...
Guess what, friends???
I went to Bootcamp!!!!!!
And so it continues.
Eat until I feel so full I’m uncomfortable. Snack too much.
I need small goals. Goal 1) Bootcamp tomorrow am. Goal 2) when i get to bed tomorrow, dont feel sick from too much food.
I forget what healthy feels like. I would like to remember.
having so much trouble getting motivated.
missed bootcamp today.
MUST. GO. THIS. WEEK. THREE. TIMES.
Ate all the things all weekend.
well, not all weekend. I didn’t eat SHIT on Friday. Like, nothing. But since I got home? ALL THE THINGS.
and my birthday extravaganza is this weekend and i DO NOT WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS WHEN IT HAPPENS.
so this week. water all the time. HEALTHY FOOD. and I AM GOING TO BOOT CAMP 3 TIMES. I have been in this for 2 weeks and never made it 3 times (This week because i was exhausted from...
Tomorrow.
Time for healthy eating. Im tired of feeling sick.
You know what's a work out?
Dubstep concerts. I danced from 930-230. And it was awesome. (until I got light headed and felt like I might pass out bc I hadnt eaten enough…)
I am driving to NY this afternoon
And I didnt want to fall asleep at the wheel so I moved Bootcamp from today to Sunday. Also last night I went to a haircuttery to blonde my hair because my regular hair dresser messed up my schedule (annoying and risky!) I really like the color but my hair kind of feels like hay. I know that will heal, plus I’m getting it trimmed Tuesday so it should feel better soon. I WAS going to go...
circus animal cookies for breakfast
vegetable pizza for lunch.
I was going to be all BEAT MYSELF UP time but then I realized 1) it’s not the end of the world to eat one piece of pizza and a few cookies once in a while, it’s fine. It happens. 2) I FEEL SICK! THIS IS GREAT NEWS! I WAS eating so crappily that I felt fine after anything and now, I FEEL SICK.
I do want to focus on eating in and making healthy meals next...

if you ate 2 cookies, or a piece of pizza, or some french fries…. you didn’t binge, you just ate a little junk food.
if you went over your daily calorie intake allotment because you were genuinely hungry… you didn’t binge, you fed your body.

Things to discontinue doing:
Eating cookies for breakfast. There’s no protein and I just feel nauseous!
damn it
today I missed lunch because I didn’t pack it and then I was too busy to go get it. And then I ate a BIG SANDWICH and 5 circus animal cookies for dinner! It’s true—you have to eat balanced throughOUT the day so you don’t feel starving at dinner time. But, I didn’t super over eat and I didn’t finish the whole sandwich because I (SHOCK!) noticed I was getting...

Guess I need to start training…….
I mean, let’s be enthusiastic: TIME TO TRAIN!!!!
Personal food triumph:
Went to a task force meeting (my favvvvorites.) today and breakfast was served and there was yummy sausage and bacon and eggs and french toast and fried potato delights and bagels and bread and butter and syrup and all the things.
I didn’t have breakfast before bootcamp because I knew we were coming to this, but I just had eggs, one slice of bacon, and a tiny bowl of fruit and one cup of...
Today I had my beginning fat analysis.
The health efforts are officially ON. 3.5 weeks from now? Those numbers will e lower!!!!
ate more than I wanted today.
but I DID NOT BINGE and when I was stressed? I stopped eating all the candies.
and I had a quarter of my burrito, not the whole thing like I used to. Tomorrow I will continue and be even more. Tomorrow is bootcamp at 5 am (bleh) hence going to bed at 9 and maybe I will fit in a jog (probably not—bootcamp is exhausting as is currently. but we will see.) I did run for approximately 15...
So again I am reminded that losing weight
is VERY DEPENDENT on diet, not just exercise.
My weight is up .2 today (I know, not huge, but still frustrating given I’ve actually started the bootcamp thing…although I’ve only gone 3 times…) and initially I was upset but then I realized I full on binge ate this weekend twice and really snacked like it was my job all weekend long. So I’m happy that the gain...

Running.
Once upon a time running wasn’t competitive and that’s why I liked it. I liked that I didn’t ever worry about going fast or keeping up with people or anything. I just ran because I wanted to, as far as I could, and the distances got longer and longer as I trained more. It was always very personal for me. Long runs by myself, runs with my friends, exercise, when I was doing it...

I also have a pinterest
because I know you DESPERATELY want to follow me on all social media platforms possible (sarcasm :) but if you do, it’s here!
I actually like pinterest because days later I look back and I see patterns of things I didn’t know I was drawn to. Like cream colors for decor. Who knew?

Today I decided to boot camp tomorrow, not today
because I was very very sore.
But I did go on a 1.5 mile run/walk with Gwyn. It was nice, actually, because we did intervals, running for 2 minutes and walking for 1 and it wasn’t painful. We were going to do 2 but my legs are still really sore from bootcamp squats and I didn’t want to mess up my gait given my history of messing up my running knees so we stopped. Then we did 5 sun...
Eating all the things.
Time to stop, Liia.

The Renfrew Center is one of, if not the, best eating disorder in-patient and out-patient facility in the Philadelphia area with locations across the country. Anyway, she talked about signs of eating disorders and then went into what to say and how to approach someone you think might have an eating disorder—there were teachers and nurses and representatives from non-profits like me. And as she...
