10 Kg to go! - I can do it!

Thank you Mands, I am trying my best. :)

Weight: 63.4

Breakfast: tea and some philadelphia

Yesterday I again proved my willpower. My husband yesterday craved some chocolate, so we walked to the closest grocery shop (1 kilometer far away) and I wanted something for myself as well, something sweet. So I took grapes and walked out of the store very proud of myself! :) Had to share this.
Well, I have already spent 1 month without candies, so technically I could have had one yesterday. I believe that once in a while it is ok to have a candy, as a treat. But I knew today we were invited by friends to dinner and surely they are going to cook a lot. We are bringing the dessert, so today I planned to have my first sweet treat in a month.
This is a big challenge, stay social and still eat healthy. Let's see...
 
Yesterday I gave myself too much freedom. I ate a lot. A steak, potatoes, salad... but what is worse is that I could not resist on chips and icecream with the cake we took. Argh. I feel as a failure and I was not brave enough to weight myself this morning.
I still feel stuffed as a turkey and... I just think today I will have only water and green salad.
Argh!
 
Weight: 64.0

Breakfast: tea
Lunch: 1 sausage with potato mousse and salad
Dinner: roasted vegetables

I am so sad, I would like to cry! Am I failing also this time? I CANNOT fail this time also. I am tired of failing. I want to finally look good for summer, as the imagine I have of myself in my mind. I will try to be strong, but sometimes I wonder if I am strong enough.
I still feel super-full with food since last Saturday... and i hate myself to let myself go back then.

My goal is to weight 50 by summer, but at the end can I really succeed? Maybe I should put myself some inspiring picture in my wallet to carry around with me and look at it to keep myself motivated? I don't even know why my motivation has decreased so much. Just Saturday I felt so strong, and when I had all that food in front of me I felt I ha the power to refuse it, but I didn't. Why? I am so weak and I don't want to be.

My goal for February is to reach 61 Kg. Is it even realistic anymore?
Maybe it is wrong to set 1-month rule and i should set more reached-weight goal. Once I will be 61 I will allow myself to have a candy.
I will try to go that road this time. I will prize myself with a candy only when I will reach my weight goal!!

High 5 on the walking away from that donut - you would have sooo regretted it. Well done!
 
You are right. One dinner with dessert and everything demotivated me so much I was so close to quit. I feel I cannot quit because I am tired of quitting... but I was to do it again.
From now on when I will about in exceeding with something I will remember how hard was to get back on track.

The more you eat, the more you are hungry.
The more you eat junk food the more you crave it.
I will keep this in mind!!!
 
Yesterday I went to the gym and exercised as suggested in here.
It felt so good.

Today I just started cleaning the kitchen, every spot is not sparkly :)
More calories burned!!
 
Hey, how's it twinkling LS? Anyway was reading through and noticed this:

I am happy to see what the scare showed me in the morning
Click to expand...

That's a very interesting misspelling of "scale" in that it makes more sense than the actual word does. :D
 
Hahaha, I didn't even realized I misspelled the word. :p It really means that the Scale Scares me!!

I am sorry, what is LS? :blush5: Not sure I understood.

Yesterday I was SO damn proud of myself.
For a serie of circustances we had to stop by to the equivalent of our national McDonald AAAAAND I ordered a SALAD. Chicken salad. A huge, imperial Salad. No chips, no soda. Only chicken salad.
Yes.
Never felt better and NO REGRETS!

Today weight 63.somethine

Breakfast: tea
Lunch: pea soup with salad and a sweet bun (sigh sigh sigh... I know)
Snack: Yougurt
Dinner: Potatoes and chicken legs.
 
No, I am not giving up also this time, I have been justy very busy trying to survive between work and university. I think the biggest challenge here is to stay healthy in such a stressful moment.

Weight: 63.7

Breakfast: coffee and fruit
 
Nice job on the weight loss. Do you really get satisfied with fruit and tea in the morning? How long after that do you get hungry for lunch again?
 
Hello again!
I know... Coming back here makes me feel a bit guilty and in a way that I "betreated" myself and also a bit you with all the support you gave me.
I checked the date of my last post here. It was in Febrary. That's 7 months ago. 7 months and I am not far from where I left. I have "excuses" for stopping the dieting and exercises. I had an INSANE semester at the university, had to travel for a total of 1 month and let's be honest. I was lazy.
Then I checked the date of when I joined the forum and it horrified me. It's 2009. That`s 4 years ago. FOUR!!! It's insane!! It's 4 years I have been complaning about my shape and what I did at the end? Basically nothing because I am still here. I feel a failure. I feel weak and unsatisfied. I feel I just find excuses after excuses. DAMN!
In summer I went for 3 weeks on honeymoon and when I came back I could barely look at the pictures. You can see far rolls, fat arms, the muffin top. The F**** muffin top. I hate it and yet have done anything to change the situation. I am sick of the fat I need to see everyday when I look at myself at the mirror.
The same day I came back from the trip I decided to change. I know what you are thinking. "Yeah, right... change the same way you have said for the past 4 years". This time is different. The same day I was back home I went running. No more excuses. I have been running everysingle day for the past mounth now. I started with 3 Kms. The first week I could not even run the damn 3 kms straight. Damn, I felt like dieing everytime I stopped and started running again. It felt like hell, but I did not quit. Then 2 days ago I run 8 kilometers straight. No stops or resting. I run for 1h and 5 minutes. I know it is not a great timing, but 1 month ago I could not even run 3 kms without resting.
That is satisfiting! It felt great. I don't want to quit.

Then yesterday something else happened. On the scale I GAINED weight. Out of the blue. No reasons! Almost 1 kilo over night. I felt broken and in fact I broke down. Maybe that is a hint that I am not doing things the proper way? Am I eating too less? I don't really want to have fast results, I don't have any hurry nowhere, I want to get in shape and that's it. And I want to do it the right way. But I am worrying now if I am doing things the right way.
I know that workout-whise I have been consistent so far. I actually enjoy going jogging every day. It's the hour I dedicate myself. It's how I end my working and studying day. After that I only want to relax because I know I have deserved it, to sit and watch a movie. But the eating and dieting it's being more challenging that what I thought. I mean, now it's different than before. I feel in control of what I eat, but probably I eat the wrong way. Too less and the scale goes crazy and show me MORE weight even when I had little food (I am eating only "clean food" the past mouth).
What are your experiences?


Weight: 62.2

Breakfast: 3 small plums + coffee (with a spoon of skinny milk) [120 cal]
Snack: 1 apple [80 cal]
Lunch: basmati rice with cabbage [300 kcal]

During the past mounth I have been keeping track of my weight loss and exercises in this site: (sorry, it's not english, but you can see how everyday my weight goes down and up).

Sorry to reply only now.
Yes, in general I get satisfied to eat fruits in the morning, even though lately I have substitute my morning tea with coffee because I need the "kick" to start the day. I get hungry again at around 11.
 
I believe in achieving my goals in small steps and set myself sub-objective that are easier to achieve.
So, here are the 8 goals I set myself.

1. [X]68
2. [X]65
3. [X]62
4. [ ]60
5. [ ]58
6. [ ]55
7. [ ]52
8. [ ]50

So, my next step is to reach 62 kg. I am very close to it. :)

I have been browsing the internet to look for an healtier diet. I have found one that looks easy and well balanced. It has 1200 Calories per day and I think I will follow it. Here it is:

Breakfast
Milk 150 gr / 1 yogurt (125 gr)
3 runsks
Snack
2 apples or pears / 100 gr of fruit)
Lunch
70 gr Pasta o rice*
300 gr veggies
2 teaspoons of olive oil*
Snack
As previous one
Dinner
120 gr veal / 135 gr pork meat / 170 gr fish /200 gr chicken without skin / 60 gr dried legumes, 180 gr fresh or frozen legumes / 2 eggs** / 60 gr ham/ 70 gr air-cured beef / 50 gr cheese
300 gr veggies
40 gr Bread
2 teaspoons of olive oil
*You can use any kind of veggies sauce or tomato, do not add cheese.
** Do not consume more than two eggs per week

What do you think? Does it sound healty/balanced?
