Mandy's Diary

So I'm going to start my little diary thing here.

1)How much weight do you want to lose?
Probably about 20-25 pounds.

2)What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
No time frame, but hopefully ASAP!!!

3)How do you want to accomplish your goal?
A combination of exercise and eating fewer calories. I just bought the tranfirmer workout series and am excited to see how it will work. I used it the other day, and my butt muscles are sore today! My butt muscles have never been sore. My hips have, but that's as far as it's gone. My calves and quads are sore as well so I can tell it's working already. As far as food goes, I'll start off with 1500 calories and then reduce intake 100 calories a month until I get to my goal weight.

4)Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
All I really have are online support forums...I feel silly telling people I'm losing weight when there is no physical *need* to do it. Rather, it's that I always feel fat, and I always feel like I'm not good enough, and most of it has to do with weight because of what's happened to me in the past. In order for me to feel confident, I need to know that I'm thin.

5)How realistic is your goal?
Hmm...I think a size 5 is reachable. I don't know tho, my ass doesn't seem to want to shrink at all LOL. Whenever I lose weight, it comes off my waist and my hips and butt stay the same size (altho, my butt does firm up a lot!!!). But I've never weighed 125 or 130 pounds before, it is probably possible. If not, I'd at least like for my waist to be 26."

6)When will you start?
TOMORROW! I would start tonight but um...I need to prepare myself first by eating everything in my kitchen that has over 50 calories per quare inch. I KNOW I'm not the only person who feels they will never be able to eat a cookie again and so you eat every cookie in sight to make up for the next virtual LIFETIME when you won't be able to eat a cookie. K I'm getting hungry...

In this diary I'll write down everything I eat and the exercise I do, every day. Once a week (Thursday morning) I'll do a weigh-in and report how much I've lost and every two weeks I'll do a measure and report how many inches I've lost. Wish me luck!!!

hahahahaha i do this too...its like if i eat it now at least it wont be around tomorow lol :p

Welcome Amanda. im looking forwards to reading your progress as you get to your goal/s :)
what is the transfirmer never heard of it?what do you have to do?
 
The transfirmer is a set of videos and workout tools (a stepper kind of thing and a weighted bar). It's an aerobic dance kinda thing with light weight training mixed in. It comes with something that looks and functions like a stepper (they call it the Transfirmer) that you use for all of the workouts. So far I've used 2 videos, the calorie blaster video and the abs workout video, liked the aerobic video, thought the abs video was a waste of time. I'll post what I think of the rest of the videos when I use them and also how good the results are.
 
THats funny about the cookies, I'm like that too. Its like you have to be mentally ready to diet, and in order to do that you have to eat everything in sight! lol.

On a serious note, dont' think to yourself "I'll never have another cookie" b/c I think that makes you feel deprived. Tell yourself, "if i really want to have a cookie, I'll have one, not the dozen, one" and then count those towards your daily calories.

ps...before you let beauty mag's make you feel bad, you have to realize in an era of photoshop and such, most (if not all) the pics are enhanced or their flaws are covered up. They are not actual pics of what the person actually looks like (esp at 3 am!)
 
lol...I ended up eating 4 cookies, a bunch of cheddar cheese chips, and 2 sodas last night. I seriously think I must be addicted to sugar because so long as I don't have any chocolate or cookies or whatever, I'm fine, but if I have only one, then I can't stop and I end up eating not only the rest of the cookies, but everything else that's sweet, that I can find because I already 'gave up' anyway right? It's something I've tried not to do but it's impulsive, so it's just easier for me not to eat cookies or cake or whatever. After I forget what it tastes like, I don't miss it much anymore. Sad but true.

I wish guys would realize that supermodels are photoshopped. That's only something girls really care about...the guys could care less so long as the girl looks good. Unless she has fake boobs, then it's an entirely different story. But anyway...you are right about that. I wish the govt would put some sort of control over the media (I know, they can't, freedom of media or whatever) where they don't allow them to have people on TV or movies or whatever that wouldn't require the majority of the population in the USA to have themselves surgically changed to look like that. Guys, girls, whatever. I read about where before TV was introduced to Malaysia (or some place like that) eating disorders were nonexistent and then a certain period of time after TV was introduced, 10% of the female teenaged population had eating disorders. In Argentina they have the highest rate of plastic surgery and also the second highest (next to Japan if I'm remembering rightly) rate of anorexia in the world. They don't even have 6 women's sizes (the equivalent of 0-12 in America). So girls that are like a size 9 will go into a store and the clerks will tell them to leave because they don't have any clothes 'in their size.' There was no written corollation between TV and that crap in Argentina but really, what else would it be from? Nodody in their right mind (who doesnt watch TV anyway) would consider starving bodies attractive. Anyway...onto my diary...

All I ate today (I can't believe this is all I ate!):


Whole wheat bread
Banana
Peanuts
Soy nuts
More bread
Slice of cheddar cheese
Breakfast bar
Veggies
Fish
Baked potato w/o skin
9 cups of water

All this added up to only 1300 or so calories so I will need to find me a snack later tonight to bring me up to at least 1400. The way I eat is (since I'm home most of the day) just whenever I'm feeling hungry, go find something relatively low-fat that looks good to eat. It keeps me from overeating, especially when I eat a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. In that case, I usually end up having eaten around 900 calories for the entire day! But it's hard to get enough protein and also you need to make sure you get enough sodium. I'd heard so much about avoiding sodium that I thought it was a good thing I was getting only 500 mg of sodium a day. But I got extremely tired (like on a 1200 calorie diet w/ exercise for two weeks...just exhausted), and also was having some mental issues like bad concentration and sleeping too many hours and things. And I had insane cravings for salt. If something had salt, I had to eat it. You probably could have poured salt on a live tomato worm and I'd have eaten it. Anyway I later found out that you are supposed to be getting at least 2000mg of sodium a day and if you don't it can get bad. Kinda like if you're deficient in Potassium, I think.

Jeez I talk a lot.

So I did both of the sculpting videos today and also the abs video. The first video was 30 mins, the next was 35 and the abs was 25 (but I only did like 20 mins of it) so I ended up working out for 90 minutes!!! An hour and a half, wow!!! I was feeling it, too. Sweat dripping down my neck (and it was NOT 80 degrees inside today), legs burning, panting. It was great. :D I drank 3 glasses of icewater just during that workout. These workouts seem to be very lower-body oriented. My lower body is always tired, but my upper body isn't. It may just be because I'm a beginner and I'm still trying to learn the moves before I use weights. I can't really say how good of an upper body workout it is until I do start using weights. The abs video is still not impressing me. Not only is it not intense enough, a few of the moves you do are very hard on your back. I prefer the laying-on-your-back sort of ab routines but these are more active, putting more stress on your back. So I will probably be going back to Jane Fonda now for ab work because I KNOW that works. And something that annoys me about the videos is they are mostly cardio oreinted. They are always jumping and hopping around and waving their arms even in the more weight-training oriented videos. I wish it would have been a little more well-rounded. BUT I'm not looking to have visible muscle tone, I just want to look 'tight.' So this should be fine for that. I have yet to view the buns or arms workout. I figure I'll wait until the videos I'm doing now don't get me as tired and then I will start on those.

Also I forgot to find the scale a weigh myself this morning so I will need to take my exact starting weight tomorrow.
 
Hmmm I may need to re-title my diary. I see that there is another Amanda's Diary. Oh well I can change mine to Mandy. Hopefully there are no other active Mandy's around!

So what I ate today:
Scrambled eggs with bacon bits
Breakfast bar with fruit filling
4 dried figs
Whole wheat bread
Carrot
Cranberry sauce
Soy nuts
Peanuts
More bread
Banana
9 cups of water

Total: about 1350 calories. Too low, but oh well. I'm not hungry at all!

For exercise today I went on about a 40 minute walk. I also weighed myself today. I weigh exactly 150 pounds! Ugh...I know the first few pounds will come off easy because I haven't had them long at all but jeez. Last time I weighed I was 146. Why does 4lbs seem so much to me all of a sudden? It always seemed like next to nothing before, and it always seems like next to nothing when I lose it but for some reason 4 pounds sounds like 40 pounds to me today!!! I didn't measure myself though. I think I will save that extra discouragement for another day. Maybe tomorrow when I might actually clean up my room and find the measuring tape, wherever it went. Everyone always loses it. :( That and my yard sticks.

I also put my starting weight on the weight table. I like to see my weight grafted, so I can actually see the downward trend. It will be interesting only weighing once a week because I've always done it every day before (must be borderline obsessive compulsive :rolleyes: ). And I guess I will need to weigh on Mondays? Oh well. That means I only have to wait 3 days to get on the scale again to indulge in my obsessive compulsiveness.

I was pleasantly sore today after doing the workout videos yesterday. I also went riding yesterday which I forgot to mention. My arms and legs were noticeably sore, but it's the degree of sore that feels reaaaaally good when you stretch it, and lets you know that yes, all this running and jumping around like a mad person IS doing something!!! I remember once when I was a dancer and hadn't worked in a few weeks I went to work and had a good day. To those who doesn't know what dancers do, it involves a LOT of squatting and bending down and moving your legs. I kid you not, I could not move my legs the next day my quads were so sore. It was literally PAINFUL! Even the slightest use of my quads hurt, and if I used them too much they would cramp. Absolutely awful. I didn't know it was possible to be that sore. Not even when I hike up a mountain for 6 miles after being inactive for a month am I that sore. Anyway...NOT that sore today! :D So, I still dislike the abs video but I do like the others and am confident they will at least be good for weight loss and some tightening if not toning and definition.
 
What I ate today:

Eggs w/ bacon bits
Cup of blackberries
Breakfast bar
Soy chips
Soy nuts
Peanuts
Cottage cheese
Watermelon
Tomato
1/4 chicken breast w/ catsup
Breakfast bar
2 shortbread cookies
13 cups of water

Total:1456 calories

I read something today saying I need .8grams of protein for every pound of body weight if I'm exercizing, or 120 grams of protein per day. Yeah right. I thought I was doing good getting 60 grams a day!!! The only meat I like is fish, which I don't get to eat very much. There's no way I'll be able to get 120 grams of protein a day unless I get some protein-shake stuff and I am NOT doing that because I know from experience that they make me gain A LOT of weight. So I guess I will have to just waste away until I reach my goal weight....how annoying...

I did the calorie-blaster workout today. It's 45 minutes long and I was getting irritated because, besides not getting enough to eat, the instructor lady has a very confusing way of telling you what you are supposed to be doing. Sometimes she will tell you to do 2 of something, but other times she won't say anything at all and expect you to know to do two. or else she will say Ok one more...and she'll do two more. Also, they don't give you any time to get a drink of water and re set-up the stepper so I'm continually pausing the video. I drank probably 5 cups of water while doing the workout so you can see why that was annoying. I forgot that the video was going to be more difficult when I started dieting, because of lack of energy. I found myself skipping the power and knee-up moves because I just didn't have the energy for it. That's a good thing because at first I could do the entire workout from beginning to end ioncluding power options and knee-ups so there was nothing to work toward. It's nice that I have a ways to go 'up' now.
 
Eggs with bacon bits
Soy chips
Watermelon
Soy chips
Peanuts
Breakfast bar
Bread
Ciabata bread
Corn
Cheesecake
13cups water

Total: 1598

Oops! :( Who knew one little thing of cheesecake the size of of cupcake would be over 300 calories?!?! It's not worth THAT many calories...maybe the 200 calories I thought it would be. But 300...I could have had a breakfast bar and peanuts with that...*sigh*. I feel so cheated :( lol not really, but I'm still annoyed.
I'm actually not starving and fantasizing about eating. This is the first time I've ever been this far into a diet and not been tortured by food! Maybe I actually have needed to be eating this many calories not to go into starvation mode. But that doesn't make sense because I'm only 5'6" and not only am I not very overweight (if at all, really), I don't have a big frame, either. Oh well. I'm liking it. I could do this for awhile!
I did the cardio-sculpting video and the jiggle-free arms video today. Those moves on those cardio tapes are SO hard to learn!!! I've done the calorie blaster video three or four times now and am still confused about the moves sometimes. And they introduced a new move in the sculpting video today called the mama chacha (haha!). I just could not get it. I wish they would show the moves in way slow motion a few times so you could see what they are actually doing because the whole thing is like, 5 steps in different directions. Makes me feel uncoordinated. Now I know I'm clumsy, but I've never really felt uncoordinated (unless you count playing sports and catching balls....but my excuse for that is I'm just afraid of balls!!! Stupid gym classes in school had to buy new balls every year so they were always hard as rock and felt like rocks if they ever hit you. :eek: The exception was dodge ball. Now that was fun. :D ). I was hoping to be able to use weights by now but if I tried I would probably hit myself in the head on accident.

For exercise today I did the calorie-blaster workout for 45 minutes. Not quite as confusing anymore because I'm starting to remember what they are doing, so that's good.
I've noticed that my butt has gotten smaller since I've started exercising. It's either smaller, or my ass has like...spread up or something cuz it's really round and flattish now, lol. I liked my big jiggly butt. :( Oh well, proof this is working! It's amazing how quickly I can lose weight. I know I'm not imagining it, it really is that big of a difference.

I changed up my exercise a little today, I took my dog to the greenway to go rollerblading. Unfortunately there were a TON of people there and some guy told me to put my dog on a leash (even though he was 5 feet away from me and stays that far the entire time) so I had to cut it short after 20 minutes. Grr. :mad: I also walked 1/4 mile. Next time I guess I will just go alone because when I go rolelrblading I usually go an hour and a half or so and still am not tired. I love it. :D When I was driving home, I saw this guy with the strangest shoe-things. He had these shoes and then there were these round things stuck to the bottom of his shoe that were about 8" in diameter, and he was bouncing on them. And then I watched him in my rearview mirror and he just bounces across the street....it looked like so much fun!!!

I'm getting hungry now...or maybe just bored with eating what I've been eating, I always seem to eat the same things. I looooove soy...I think I've eaten everything in the house already that has soy in it. So now I get to cook chicken (bleh) and eat that for protein.

Two days til weigh day!!! I'm excited to see how much weight I've lost in this past week. I'm sure it won't be much but usually when I diet I go on insane crash diets where I lose like 10 lbs in a week and this is a 'healthy' diet so I know the loss won't be as extreme.

Also, I measured myself today.
Waist: 29"
Hips: 38" (I KNEW my butt got smaller...)
 
Okay, 20 minutes of exercise is not nearly enough. Off for a 45 minute walk in the dark...lol.

I was bad today and had 2 oreo cookie poptarts. My cat has been missing for a week, and my mom just went to the shelter today to see if anyone had turned him in and they said if an owner doesnt claim a pet within 3 days, they put the cat up for adoption. My cat is an outdoor cat; it would be 3 or 4 days before I even knew he was missing!!! Not only that, they won't let you see the 'found' cats!!! So my mom started looking thru the found-cat reports and she was disgusted at the number of cats and so she stopped....she said an officer had basically come through this area and cleared all the loose cats out. What, did they have a shortage of cats there or something?! Why would they do that? She said there were all kinds of reports of found cats in our area. I miss my kitty... :( He is the sweetest kitty, we had 6 people living here when he was 'growing up' and he was always being held and petted so now you can hold him like a baby or hold him regular for as long as you want and pet him for practically as long as you want and play with him and he's just like the perfect cat, if a little bit small. :eek: About a week ago this stray dog came here and he's been living here since because my little sister babies him and pets him and won't let him leave. But it's possible he scared my cat away, and he doesn't like the dog we already have so he snips at him and is just generally a little annoyance. But I don't know if someone maybe stole my cat? Because everyone who sees him falls in love with him....ugh...now I miss him even more. So I had 2 poptarts to make me feel better and of course they DID make me feel better but then I felt bad for eating 400 calories of junk food. So instead of just doing the calorie blaster workout once, I did it twice. So like an hour and a half of hard cardio workout today...which is why the water intake is so high. I'll be lucky to have lost anything tomorrow, with all the water I've been drinking. Thank god I live in Oregon, if we lived anywhere else the entire water supply would probably be gone in a month cuz of me.
Oh well, I like exercising so it wasn't really THAT big of a deal. And I got my mom interested in the videos. I tried to show her what all they were doing but she got SO confused and said that it's too much like step aerobics classes and she could never catch on to them (not to mention she has no rhythm and the exercise is to music...hehe). Oh well that workout is the fastest-paced one, I will show her the others tomorrow to see if maybe there is one she likes, because they are working well for me so far and I'd love if she could get some exercise with them also. Not that she is overweight or lazy, but you know how it is. :)
My family is having a big sort of get-together thing later this month with relatives (aunts, uncles, grandpa) to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. I don't know how old he is... :confused: It should be fun, I think we are going to the beach or to a lake or something like that, on the weekend. It will be nice to have lost a little weight before I go!!! Especially if we are going to the beach!!!
Even if I haven't lost any weight yet, I can see a small difference in the mirror. I still look 'fat' by my standards but I'm at least not 'lumpy' anymore. At least my body is smoothing out now, and it's starting to look a little nicer!
 
Today's weight: 145.4

I lost 4.6 pounds!!!!! Woohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

What an incentive to keep going even though I've lost my butt. hehe :D

AND...my dog found my cat last night. For some reason he thought the big bush in our yard was extra interesting so he was sniffing around and out popped Diablo!!! Brought him inside and the poor thing sat at his food dish for like 15 minutes. He had probably been trapped in that bush all week by that stupid dog. Speaking of which, he woke me (and probably the neighbors) up at 7AM this morning whining and barking cuz we put him on the chain so he wouldn't chase the cat again. Annoying dog...

Oh well I'm very very happy today to see that all my hard work has definitely paid off this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After drinking 16 cups of water in one day, I'm a little scared. I've read you aren't supposed to have more than a gallon or water a day and there's 16 cups in a gallon. I guess I will just put a gallon of water in the fridge and that's all I'll let myself have. I don't want to get water intoxication. :( There are much funner ways to be intoxicated!!!

I've been so worried about going over my calorie allotment early in the day that I don't eat enough and then end up having 'extra' calories to eat at night. it's kinda nice (I got to eat graham crackers and cranberry sauce tonight!!!) but I should probably start eating more earlier in the day so I can get more nutrition in my food and not be tempted to eat 'bad' food.

Today for exercise I did the aerobic body sculpting video and the supercharged sculpting video. My legs were BURNING after that!!! What's funny is that the 5 minutes they spend doing abs in these videos is as intense as the 25 minutes they spend on 'abs' in the abs video. Doesn't make much sense. My sister was watching me do these videos and I was complaining about my ass getting smaller and she was like 'well, it's a nicer shape now, if that's any consolation.' LOL, yes, it was a consolation. I guess it is still kinda big....it's just a different shape of big. :D

Anyway then my sister thought the videos looked like fun so I had her do the ultimate calorie blaster workout (my favorite, the fastest pace one and is also the most fun) and it was funny to see how she also got all confused trying to follow what they are doing. She'd been amazed at how much I sweat when I do that video, now she knows why!!! When you just watch the video it doesn't look like it would be all that tiring, but it's a whole different thing to actually WORKOUT to the video!!! But she also thought it was fun.

I watched the bonus 8-minute ab workout on the ultimate calorie blaster video, and it's actually a really good ab workout. My two sisters and I just sat there and STARED at the stuff this girl was doing!!! I wonder how fit she must be to be able to do all that stuff, in perfect form, without getting tired, without sweating, AND talking the entire time. Crazy! I'll watch the bonus lower body workout tomorrow and see if that's as good as the ab workout was (these bonus workouts are only an 8 minute addition to the main DVD's) and if it is, I'm just going to probably give the arms, abs, and lower body tape to my mom because she likes the slower stuff and those videos are rather repetitive and slower paced than the other 3.

But...after doing these workouts for a little over a week and noticing a difference already and not being tired of working out, I'm happy I made the investment!!! :) It will be interesting to see how I look after a month of exercising and dieting.
 
Looks like you're doing really well. :) I'm glad you found your kitty. I've got a (n insane) kitty too.

About the beauty magazines; I just remind myself that a lot of them probably have horrible personalities. ;)

It's good that you found some good exercise tapes. I have some that I haven't done for a while. Mostly, because I do them in the basement of the apartment, I don't want someone to come down with their laundry and hear my workout tape. It's dumb, I know, but my favorite one seriously has the guy voiceovering "You're happy! You're doing great! Picture yourself; you're happy, you're healthy, you're thin!" I actually think it's really encouraging, but it sounds... well, kinda lame.

Anyway, keep up the good work! Also, don't be too hard on yourself. You're doing great!

Yes everyone is very happy that our kitty is back. :p Especially me. Insane kitties are the best kind of kitties. ;)

It's not so much the girls in beauty magazines who make me upset, it's the guys in real life who expect every single girl to look like girls in beauty magazines. I don't envy beautiful girls much; being a dancer I've known lots of beautiful girls and for the most part they were very nice, intelligent people. They also have to deal with other girls being jealous, spiteful, and downright mean to them a lot (I've had this happen to me, it's not fun). I've also found that attractive guys are much more arrogant and boring than attractive girls, and avoid them pretty much as much as possible!!!

Workout videos are fun, you have the whole group workout thing pretty much anytime you want it. Seeing other people doing what I'm doing helps me to stay on track and not slack off. I know what you mean about not wanting people to hear your exercise video!!! Yours is even 'worse' than mine, all mine says is things like, "Are you ready to burn some calories?! lets go, put energy into it! This melts off the fat on your belly and butt...think about having a tight firm butt!!!" LOL. It works though, doesnt it!!!

This is starting to get harder for me, I sorta broke down today and ate about 350 calories in one sitting. I'm not really hungry most of the time but I get these insane cravings and this evil little voice starts saying, "Well, one cup of icecream isn't really going to affect your diet, is it? Remember how good icecream tastes, you know you want some..." Then I usually go punish it with some exercise. :D Either that or feed it something healthy and pray it will be satisfied.

I hurt my back today somehow when I was doing my video and had to stop after 15 minutes or so. I think I just slightly strained a muscle in my baxk so I kept going but it got to the point where my whole right side hurt when I moved it. So, I'll tone it down a bit today and tomorrow and just take my dog on some long walks. Should be a nice break.

Thanks for the encouragement!!!
 
Just checking in. I haven't quit yet! Was down in grants Pass today and yesterday. yesterday cals were 1500-1600, today will be about 1400. Not much exercise either today or yesterday. Will write more tomorrow.
 
Neglecting my diary a little lately, but I'm staying on track!!!

Yesterday calories were around 1300...no idea how much water I had, though.

Today:
Eggs w/ bacon bits
Pirouette
Chocolate truffle square
Peach
Soy nuts
Eggs w/ bacon bits
Breakfast bar
Soy chips
Carrots/broccoli/cauliflower
Chicken w/ catsup
Peanuts
Prunes
Chocolate truffle square
11 cups water

Total: 1335 calories

I have been doing really well with my calorie intake lately. I haven't been having insane cravings, either, which makes it about 500 times easier for me. For exercise yesterday I did 3 sculpting videos (one long, two short) and today I did the calorie blaster workout. I can tell that I'm getting more in shape from doing these, my butt looks better, I'm losing fat, and the videos are becoming easier. Also, just random things around the house and out and about are easier too.
Sister said she can tell the videos are working too. :D
These two weeks have gone by sooo slowly though!!! Whenever I am on a diet, it seems time slows down and my days end up being 30 hours long. Rather annoying. Makes me wonder if I am really spending that much time eating?!
Two more days til weigh day...excited to see what the scale says!

I know what you mean! I think it's just that when you're thinking about how much you're eating, it's like "can't this day be over already so I can have some more calories??" Anyway, keep it up! Good luck with your weigh-in.
 
LOL, I think that is probably it...I've finally realized that having only one cookie won't kill me, there will still be cookies there tomorrow. But tomorrow takes too long to get here!

Still neglecting my diary..*sigh* had about 1400 calories, 11 cups of water, and did the aerobic shaping, arms, abs, and short lower body workouts. I don't know how accurate the scale will be tomorrow...I'm eating as we speak (I usually stop eating around 8:30 and its 1AM now) and am getting a drink of water too so there will probably be more in my system tomorrow when I weigh. Oh well, we will see. I went and auditioned at clubs today and got put on the schedule at both the clubs I wanted so I'm happy about that...it's incentive to stay on my diet. And when I looked in the full body mirrors I couldn't believe how different I look!!! I'm not much smaller at all, but my shape is much nicer! :D
