Hi my name is Angelica Hope <3

my goal is to reach a size 7/9 and lose about 60 pounds. im not sure what a good timeframe for this would be. i would like to have made a major dent in this goal by the summer of '09.

my intention is to combine exercise and more thoughtful eating. by exercising i mean walking several miles a day. free weights. stretching.

unfortunately i am unable to rely on anyone in my family. that is why i am hoping to find people here i can relate to and support. i will continue to believe my goal is realistic til someone tells me otherwise =P

i intend to start tomorrow morning when i have had a chance to finalize my goals. i also want to take time to internalize others advice^^
 
Hello!
I hope to see you keep up with your diary :) This place really is a wonderful place to find someone to relate to/speak to/help motivate you!

Making a decent dent by summer 2009 is a good goal!
 
=T oh my!

the last time i was online was forever ago.

mmm. im happy to report i will be online more often again, and also that my mother has decided to make a lifestyle change along with me.^^ it makes me
feel more confident.

lets see my "core" is totally sore this morning thanks to my peanut ball thingie o_O i havent a clue what it is called. also my left arm (mainly my wrist) is sore from playing guitar hero on medium... T.T i was getting 5 stars on easy but only 3 on meduim. lol.

sooo i hope everyone had a lovely christmas and we are all making new years resolutions today. :)

my goal is to become a more genuine, loving, and most of all healthy person! and to keep on keeping on towards my goals even if at this moment they seem too far away.
 
well... hmmm i came to a realization with my working out today^^ i start too quickly and then i give up... soo i am starting out simple... and just doing morning stretches... and the 4 miles walk slim with leslie sansone<3 soo i will keep up with that for 2 weeks... and then add a new element... like my peanut ball workout :3... or resistance training... and eventually :D a 5th jogging mile^^

im feeling very good about myself today.
 
mmmkay... soo here is the deal... i am currently in a long distance relationship o: he lives in Arizona and i live in Arkansas. we have been dating for 3 months and almost two weeks^^ and we met about 7 months ago and just immediately felt a connection. i really like him. and what makes me like him even more is he texts me saying he is going to the gym =P and all of the sudden i just feel sooo like engergized and i cant wait til tomorrow when i can workout again

he says i am perfect the way i am >.> and i wish that was the case... but i cant believe it, especially when he has a gorgeous tanned body :3

my boyfriend inspires me<3

pink posts = i <3 my bf :3

today i was good. i did my workouts. although i feel i did overeat a little. i did try to be good. by drinking an ice water with a lemon wedge and because i was still hungry after that i decided it was okay to eat. that i truly was hungry rather than simply binging. =P

mmm yeah i think i am pmsing x.x i went to talk to my parents this morning and left their room and started cleaning and crying because i had it in my head that they care more about television than me. crazy? >=D or just emotional? lol

oooh oooh oooh... before i forget. my goal by the end of this summer is to post pics in the forum of my changed body... lets say... august 15th is P-Day D: pics-day :D soo lets hope i look good by then =D maybe even do a little bikini showing ^.~ hehe

hmmm soo that is 7ish months? o_O counting is not my forte =P

i better step it up though^^
 
Hey!

most people say about 10 lbs a month is normal and healthy to lose. If you havn't worked out ina while, when you first start alot of weight will just fly off (water weight mostly). Your goal date is very doable and i look forward to seeing your progress!! Keep us posted!
 
10 pounds sounds great to me :3
my real problem is my diet x.x i like to snack... alot!
but i am trying to tone it down.
i cant wait to reach my goal though... and to really start living^^
 
You are going to look great by August 15th. I'm also shooting for about ten pounds a month, and am hoping to reach my goal by the end of summer.

One day at a time!
 
hehe thanks nic^^
what is your goal?
omgosh i am soo psyched though o:
will you post pics with me when this summer hits?? :3
 
while reading plumphope's diary i came to the realization that i need to be accountable for what i am eating everday. soo here is breakfast:

-2 glasses of water with a lemon wedge
-1 medium banana (i think medium) - 100 calories
-1 celery stick - 10 calories
-1/2 serving of raisins - 65 calories
-1/2 serving of peanut butter- 85 calories
TOTAL: 260 calories for breakfast

1400-260 = 1140 calories for the rest of the day

but omgosh seriously if i didnt measure out my servings... i would have ended up with probably 3 servers of peanut butter :eek: for about 190 calories x.x 570 calories! over a 1/3 of my calories for today... my problem is totally PORTION DISTORTION!!! my eyes have totally been opened just now.

edit: hehe i was totally anti-carb this morning... no sandwiches... no cereal... unless im dumb and peanut butter is a carb x.x

we are turning one of our sheds into a temporary home for baby goats and their mommies because its alot warmer... and tonight is supposed to be like 11 degrees 0.o anyways we were removing things from the shed... we as in my mom, dad, and myself. and my mom made hot chocolate for me.. -_-" soo that totally set me back... and im not quite sure how many calories... about 16 ounces using her own concoction for the powder... all i am happy about is at least... i made her use water lol.

1140-200 = 940 calories x.x all for an unfulfilling drink. T_T


for lunch im thinking about a salad... and making an oil and vinegar-ish something or other for the dressing. i havent a clue how... =P fun fun fun
 
hehe what i wrote during the few hours the forum wasnt working =P

Definitely not a big deal … weight loss forum isn’t working D: lol soo I am just typing my thoughts in Microsoft word =P mmm… soo for lunch I had:

-1 tsp parmesan cheese – 10 calories
-1 serving shaved ham – 50 calories
-various veggies (celery, carrots, green onions, lettuce) – 15 calories
-vinegar and dales mixture with parsley flakes and pepper – 10 calories
-1 tbsp honey mustard – 65 calories (I regret this now… the vinegar and dales was a wonderful flavor and there was no need for this =P )
-whole wheat bun – 200 calories
TOTAL – 350 calories =D
940-350= 590 calories left

This was a scrumptious lunch and very fulfilling^^ now I just need to workout and drink lots of water. Dinner is going to be a nightmare though x.x my mom is making her salmon wellington and I just figured out the approximate calories for it. >.> 750 + whatever side she decides to do. Soo that totally will screw up my calories.

-1 serving salmon fillet – 140 calories
-1 CRUST – 440 CALORIES (T_T)
-creamed spinach – 50 calories
-blue cheese – 40 calories
-mozzarella – 80 calories
TOTAL – 750 CALORIES! >.< PUTTING ME 160 CALORIES OVER MY LIMIT!

Soo I am hoping to alter the recipe a bit… replacing my crust with some tinfoil and removing the blue cheese completely >=P yucky!

That would make the recipe 270 calories instead @.@ crazy! This scenario would leave me 320 calories to be naughty with :3 ooh or maybe I could save these calories for Sunday =D to have something super yummy.

1400 calories a day is a good number right? 1500 sounds like too much but 1200 sounds like not enough. Lol.

Soo I did my workout and I am a lot more sore today than I was before. But oh well. The end justifies the means =P

T_T the website still seems to be having problems >.<

I had a snack… I wanted processed sweets -_-“ and I went for the lower calorie choice… a rice crispy versus a brownie in icing thing. Lol.

-1 valentine’s rice crispy – 100 calories
TOTAL 100 calories
590-100 = 490

I am going to be sooo sore tomorrow… I can already promise that… moving junk around the the sheds… along with the slight soreness on my thighs and calves. Whooh! Im happy im feeling something =P

sooo dinner went well? lol

-salmon wellington in tinfoil - 270 calories
-corn on the cob - 155 calories
-beans and a fruit salad - ??? not sure

-two peppermints =P - 40 calories
TOTAL 465 calories (not including the beans and salad)

490-465 = 25 calories... lol soo im pretty sure the beans and fruit salad took care of that... and i finished with just about the right amount of calories for the day^^ but definitely a little over my limit =T
 
rumor has it that chewing celery burns nearly all the calories it has... crazy, huh? celery makes a great snack.

good luck on your journey! i'll come back and visit your diary soon.

:)
 
I think that you and I have very similar goals. I started at 225 and I'm at 198 or so now depending on the day. My goal is about 150 for right now.

You seem to be doing really well! Keep up the good work!
 
livelyup - thanks for the celery tip ^.~ i will definitely remember that one =P

justjessie - lol yeah we do seem to share the same goals for the moment... wow congrats on the 29 pounds lost sooo far^^ amazing =D
 
okay soo i have been a bit busy to post on the site for the last few days... i have been working out and everything... although friday (yesterday) i screwed up quite a bit... i didnt get to workout... my mom had me cleaning all day soo my feet hurt too much to do my walk slim video -_-" and then i ended up downing the rest of the doritos >.> probably 3 servings... 140 x 3 = 420 calories... T.T but i think my major problem is that yesterday, auntie flo came to visit D: soo as im writing this i am experiencing awful cramps.

on a brighter note :3

i stepped on the scale for the first time since monday and it says i lost 4.6 pounds. lol... but i have to remember... when i weighed monday i was wearing my winter pajamas =P im really happy considering all the pms symptoms ive experienced this week -_-"

i fought with my boyfriend about crazy things... like he is too busy to talk to me because he is cheating >.< its been a struggle for the last few days... but i think we fixed it finally last night... lol... one thing he is good at is talking about his feelings =P

hmmm also i notice i strive for 1400 calories but i usually slip up at dinner. does anyone else feel like that happens? also i feel like its harder to control myself when its the bad part of the month o: any insight girls? :3

i have yet to eat anything today lol... not sure what i am in the mood for.
