Hey everybody in WLF Diary land! Im Slickzchik aka Katie . .

Since last year around October I managed to go from 288 (at my heaviest) to 248 by making some simple changes in my diet (trying to eat more healthy food, less unhealthy food, drink less pop, cut back on dining out and cut way back on fast food) and exercising (35 mins of high intensity on the elliptical, 5 days a week [on a good week hehe]).

So anywho, I've decided I really wanna take this to the next level and get under the big 200 for January of 2010. I will continue with the healthy changes I've made to my diet and keep tweaking it to make it healthier.

Exercise-wise I want to continue my workouts on the elliptical but be more committed since there was a few times I fell off the band wagon. I really wanna get in the habit of exercising every single day! Whether its at the gym, playing dance revolution or just going for a walk, I am commiting myself to 30 mins for every 24 hours. I also plan to get a personal trainer within the next month to help design a program to incorporate strength training into my routine!

Also, this December I am going on vacation with my boyfriend and his family in the Florida Keyes! So i have some extra motivation (bathing suit shopping!) and mini goal to be down to 210 by December 3rd.

Wish me luck, here I go!

Hi there!

Sounds like things have been going well for you so far.

I heartily endrose the addition of strength training to your workouts. Your body will love you for it. Resistance training is so important for maintaining muscle mass as we lose weight, and anyway, you want to look good when you are at your goal weight, right? :)

How Vancouver-ish are you, if I might ask? I'm an old PoCo boy, myself.

Food for yesterday could've been better. The problem was I had a late dinner (after 8 pm) and there was too long between breakfast and dinner, so i by the time i ate it i felt starved and just kept snacking into the night. I hope to avoid this from happening again by being careful not to skip lunch (or any meals!)

Now its off to the gym :)

Morning weigh in: 245.2 :(


I was not eating my best the last few days (all you can eat sushi and mcdonalds were consumed :piggy::piggy: ) so sadly i had to move my ticker back up.

However i did get my exercise in so thats good. Yesterday i got in a brisk 45 minute walk at the park. Today I got back in the gym for 35 minutes on the elliptical trainer.

Food for today has been good so far except i did have Dr. Pepper at work which is baaad since im trying to eliminate soft drinks from my diet altogether. But aleast it was only a kids cup. Gotta take the little victories in this game, eh?

Hoping to get that ticker back down again tomorrow!

Have you been to the Keys? I LOVED it there! Last year I went at Christmas time (new years actually) and nothing funnier I tell ya then seeing Christmas ornaments when it's bloody hot outside (I'm Canadian also). My mom just became a share holder in a property down there so right after my vacation in the West Caribbean I'm heading over there myself.

As far as you're food is concerned ... I'm not sure if you're a student or working .. but preparation for the day is key! It helps avoid missing meals and/or eating the wrong types of foods.

Good luck :)
 
Congrats on getting below that 240 mark well done.

Yes preparation is the key.

Looking forward to more updates.
