HEART ATTACK (Daughter)

Woah, So it just took me probably only a minute to do 60 buttbounces on the trampoline (Ha ha ha!) with ease, but as soon as I stopped, my heart suddenly felt like somebody shoves a fork through it. It really hurt, and it was beating fast, but then it went away immediately. I really need to exercise more.

Day Eleven (Daughter)

You're right, mom, it's totally unpreductive to just put a pic of my fat on here....
Sorry I havn't been posting, I'm just working on a couple of my own projects.

To update my food log:
cereal
yesterday: more raspberry/cream/ect (the problem with that is that i use way too much maple syrup as a sweetener, and whipping cream instead of yoghurt.. Your Cajeta is a way better idea.)
Zucchini Stew
and two pieces of cheesecake.

This morning:
a bowl of cereal with soy-milk and maple syrup
beef with A1, and rice.

I'm going to just swear off maple syrup all together. I'll use Cajeta on berries, and my cereal can go unsweetened. Period.
My weight is hovering around 170. It's usually 168 before I eat in the morning, and around 170 or 171 in the evening. I didn't realize that a person's weight fluctuates so much throughout the day.
I'm going to go bounce on the trampoline, and if I see Annie today I'll be sure to do a ton of walking/biking/whatever. No wonder Annie's so thin. She's doesn't even do conscious exercise, she just walks/bikes farther than most people drive. Last time i hung out with her we biked what must have been fifteen miles. My mother almost didn't believe me when I said we went from Portal Way to Birch Bay. (And mom, don't freak out about the specifics here. I'm positive we don't live in the only city with those street names.)

ANYWAY, I'm going to go do fifty butt bounces on the trampoline. My record is 156, but that's utterly exhausting.
And mom, you're right, my diet the other day was pretty healthy, I was just very full so I felt like I'd eaten a ton of junk food.

Day 4 (mom)

Add to yesterday's food log:

2 beers, one slice of cheesecake with raspberries.

Also, I didn't do the elliptical, but I did spend 15-20 minutes pulling weeds out in the pasture, which made me sweat.

Today so far: Breakfast, whole wheat pretzel sticks and goat cheese (what a healthy breakfast!) plus a quad shot of espresso with cream.

Lunch: Rice with tomatoes, steak sauteed with onions.

I'm about to go gather hay. 

Hey R., what's up? No posts? where's your food log?

Day 3 (mom)

Lunch (okay, several snacks all eaten within two hours of lunchtime):

Handful whole wheat pretzel sticks dipped in herbed goat cheese.

Handful raspberries

2 oz, give or take, roast mixed nuts

tall glass water (R., I noticed we aren't writing down water. We should.)

1 sugar cookie

Dinner, which I'm starting now, is going to be chicken enchilada with yellow zucchini and white rice.

Exercise:

Farm chores, regular plus watering the garden and trees (I have to lug jugs of water all over the property, so it counts as exercise) but that's it so far. I'd jump on the trampoline, but I'm afraid my little toenail will come off (it's hanging by a thread). So I guess I'll make a pledge to do 12 minutes on the elliptical! How about I add 2 minutes every night until I get up to 30?

Day 3 (mom)

Scale this morning showed 217. Weird. Maybe we need a better scale. 

Breakfast: 1 cup whole wheat cheerios, quad shot of espresso with cream. Probably I should eat some fruit. 

Note to daughter: About the pic you posted: pictures should show progress. Let's not let this degenerate into a flab-fest (by which I mean, let's not post any pictures for the purpose of showing how icky our fat is. That's not the point here.). Let me take some pics of you on the elliptical, or jumping on the trampoline, or doing weights, or something like that, okay?

Day 2 late night (mom)

Hey! There was nothing wrong with your diet today. Except possibly, like me, too much healthy food. Dinner was very healthful. Three potatoes between four people (yes, two are little kids) plus handfuls of veggies: carrots, onions, kale, summer squash. Eat the rainbow! What's unhealthy about that? 

Berries and yogurt are GOOD for you. Okay, if, like me, you ate two big bowlfuls of frozen berries with yogurt and cream and cajeta - that's what I used for sweetening, what did you use?- you may be feeling, as I am, that the second bowl was too much. I don't eat junk food very often, I don't pig out on chocolate or chips very often, but I do eat way too much good-for-you food. It's possible I downed 600 calories worth of frozen berries and yogurt. It's probable that my tummy will feel funky for the whole night. Is it also possible that I will learn from this and eat only one bowl next time?

It's possible. 

Day Nine- Emo Pajamas (Daughter)

Food Log:

Scince last entry:
Blueberries with cream and maple syrup, a small cookie, a bite of whatever the pastry mom bought downtown was, the dinner mom described below, raspberries, a handful of baby carrots.
Not very healthy, eh?

As for exercise, I'm ashamed of myself. A little haying, walking around the raspberry festival and downtown, and like 5 minutes of bouncing on the trampoline. Other than that I've been sitting around reading Oprah magazine. Go figure.
I got these cute emo pajamas at a thrift shop near the raspberry festival, and they fit fine.... for home. They're tight enough to camel-toe if I don't watch it. Ack! All my bulk is concentrated in my belly and upper thighs. The only thing I'm going to regret about losing weight is losing some of cleavage and butt. Last time I was at Annie's house, she was having me try on all her clothes (TRY being the key word! She's about six sizes smaller than me!) and when we found a pair of pants that fit (tightly) she was all like "Girl, you got a butt going on!" And she's right! It felt awesome to know SOME part of my bulk is actually attractive. Not that my mom likes seeing me in tight pants. C'mon mom! Skinny jeans look good on fat chicks!
As for the emo pajamas, the only thing I really hate is that they stop right where my belly begins. Major gross factor:
