A Little Lost... Cassy's Story

sigh... definately breaking that cycle of 205... who knew it was that one thing i swear i'd never do that got me out of it... calorie counting... since i've started i have not had that "jump" back to 210 like i kep experiencing the first couple of months. I even made it through the holidays and 2 weeks of not working out without gaining a pound... now that i finally get to combine my nutrition with my workout it's sure to pick up... this afternoon i weighed in at 202.8... it's not much but it's everything and its finally a start... i have 3 pounds to go before im officially out of the 200's which is starting to seem possible... i sooo can't wait... it will be a cause for celebration i tell you!
 
OMG, Onderland is soooooooooo in your near future!!! Hell yes!

Calorie counting was THE thing that worked for me when I got 2 lbs shy of my goal in 2007--but I hate it :p Still, I'm doing it! Good luck and have great workouts!
 
Thanks! I dont mind counting too much... as long as its not too hard to figure out how many calories are in something. I think having the state of mind that I DONT have a choice helps. it's also helping me realize what i was doing wrong and notice that my estimations must have been way off... and that little snacks of stuff here and there add up really quickly... i'm still working on making my food not only fit within my calorie limits but also be healthier too... slowly but surely...
 
I just read through some of your diary and wanted to say "keep it up!" I see how frustrated youve been...but I think 2009 will be a good year for someone as determined as you seem to be :)

I got the Wii Fit for Christmas and LOVE IT!!!!! It would be cool if there was a way to play wii fit online and hold competitions...I wonder if there is a way, uhmmm I'll make DH look into that :)

Anyways...heres to 2009 and you in the 100's!!!!

Oh I know, I eat a lot of weird California stuff, and home-cooked hippy meals that are tough to figure. I agree with Lindsey (HI! :waving:), I think you're about to GET IT DOWN and be totally successful! :hurray:

I was pretty frustrated for a while... I kind of expected to be handed the perfect answer and i felt like i was wasting my time in what i was doing because it didn't seem to be working. As I've been reading posts and working out my own "puzzle" it's been getting better though...
thanks for the encouragement :D I think this year will be a good one too and I especially can't wait for summer it's my favourite time of year and I won't have to be cooped up in this house... YAY for outdoor activities :hurray:
I always say wii fit should be able to be connected to other users... if nothing else then to be able to beat echother scores and compare graohs stuff like that... It's way more fun when i get to compare my results to someone elses...

Your Encouragement is also ALWAYS Appreciated. I just bought a pair of pinstipe pants and i'm totally taking them back for a size down :p they normally wouldnt take it back after being worn but i JUST bought them and a seem came undone. its in a completely harmless spot but i'm taking them back anyway since i was just saying to my husband i should have gotten a smaller size :D
 
Awsome, funny how once you get into your grove things just start flowing and the weight starts dropping down. Your doing a great job!
 
Thanks guys! I'm really feeling great about this :D... And as soon as my husband gets me that treadmill i'll be feeling even better! I really want to get into running
 
Oh my crap it's freaking hard to push a stroller through Ice Slush And snow that was like the longest 10 minute walk of my life! And I even have a really good stroller its a jogger with HUGE wheels, this thing usually gets through anything, i call it my little all terain vehickle.. but boy my heart is PUMPING... and i get to do it all over again in 2 and a half hours... lol maybe i should just pull him in the sled
Anyway... To my afternoon workout!

Hi Cassie, you know... there's gratitude for you.. I mention the challenge to you and you go and get on the other team...:( sigh... I'm so disappointed.

But, I'll get over my heartbreak... winning tends to help you do that.

No hard feeling hun...
 
Well you know I didn't go picking my team to try to get the best players, i was just randomly picked so... I understand your pain, If you would have had me you might have had a fighting chance too :p...
Don't worry dear time heals all wounds ;)

Awee!

I'm so glad to have you on my team!! You seem like a great person. Wish I had met you sooner.


Way to go pushing strollers through snow! OMG I never even see snow here in CA. I have to drive hours to see it. You're a champ! Super Mommy! I bet that burned some mean calories.

We are so close in weight, what is your 6 week goal?? I am hoping to be down to 186 lbs
 
I'm glad to have you on my team too! we have an awsome team!
I have no doubt i burnt some serious calories pushing that thing. it definately got my heart pumping and my body sweating. I sort of wish i live in CA about now... I am such a summer person (despite growing up a yukon girl). I'm so sick of snow and cold already.
I dont really have a goal set. Im supposed to be down another 11 pounds by the end of next week according to my goal with wii fit but i dont see it lol... I'm just waiting to break through the 100's at this point but who knows where i want to go once i get passed that within 6 weeks. 186 would be nice though wouldn't it?
 
It's 63 degrees and I am freezing!!!! I'm sure it is much colder where you are. I am a whimp.

11 pounds in how long? Wow, tune me into that. I need to check out what you are doing.

We are so close to the 100s, I bet by the end of the week we are back in Onederland. We can do it! Our team is going to drop some serious pounds.
 
it's only -3 but -10 with windchill which is too cold for me... especially since under my coat i'm not weraing more then i would in the summer lol much more then a cami or a light top and i feel like im being stragled...
yep 11 pounds by january 16th... its not going to happen but i set up this goal almost 3 months ago when i started wii fit. the most they would let me go for is 23 pounds so i set that up for 3 months from then... unfourtunately in that process i was also trying to find out what works for me so it's been a bit of a setback. Oh well... on the bright side im about to break on through to onederland as you said and that all i care about right now! And the challenge of course lol which go hand in hand..
 
I'll admit it, I'm s pretty impatient person... i can make myself seem patient but on the inside im freaking out. When I ask for something to be done I want it done like yesterday... You know whats worse then being an impatient person? being and impatient person living with a procrastinator... My husband is always putting stuff off unless it's something he's excited about and can get it done before he loses interest... he'll claim he's not a procrastinator but im pretty sure the definition is someone who is always putting things off till later... and he acts like continuously forgetting is an excuse which make it not procastinating... i'll even be like you should do it now so you dont forget... but no... he's not ready to do it, he need to prepare to do something he wasn't planning on doing... it's like it totally impossible to drop what your doing and take 2 seconds to do something else. I swear this man has blinders on and when he focuses on something it is impossible for him to do anything else... multitasking? HA, not an option, he wasn't born with that part of the brain hense why he can't cook more then one thing at a time... so basically it comes down to me doing everything myself... and when i can't do something because i dont drive or I physically am unable... it doesn't get done... regaurdless how important... (and when i mean important i mean like go pay rent go buy groceries kind of thing) seriously i need a drivers license... then i could just do everything myself and it would be much easier... but I need someone to teach me to drive and guess what... he hasnt gotten around to that either...
ahhh *sigh* That feels better... I'm done ranting now...:waving:
Completely has nothing to do ith weight loss but it's my diary and i can write what i want to :p
