You had better be on your date with the tread mill, missy!

You are doing well and just need to keep it up! Holidays can be a very depressing time and if you need to talk/rant/get motivate/anything send a message my way. I have a couple good ears all ready to listen.

Thank you =) My date with the treadmill went badly. :willy_nilly:
 
Here's What I'm Going To Do

My sleeping schedual is crazy. And because of lack of good sleep, I've been feeling icky. Like, sick icky. And I had just gone down to exercise, 5 minutes into it, I started feeling worse. The treadmills always going to be there, I rather not feel sick.

I'm going to take from 12am to 12am time slots to exercise. Fit as much in as I can muster. Even if it's like 100 2 minute sessions [okok, so not exactly!]. Hopefully, I can also regulate my sleeping. I can't wait till I hold the power over my sleeping!!!

At the end of the day, I'll factor in food, calories burned/eaten, and add up the time total and milage and woola!

I'd like to fit in a 10 minute one when I wake up [around 3pm], a 15 minute later in the evening [around 6 or 7pm], and a 10 minute at night [around 10:30pm] for a total of 40minutes, since 40minutes of exercise a day is my goal for this week.

You know what's unbelievably frustrating? Having a boyfriend/fiance/almost husband [whatever you wanna call him] who is down right skinny. I'm not talking "Average everyday joe shmoe skinny" dude, I'm talking "a strong wind will do in him" kind of skinny. Love the boy to death, but geez!

It gets unnerving after awhile because I know the looks some people give, they're the same one's I've given others. It's the "what is HE doing with THAT..I mean her?!" look. Now, I've got self image issues, however, for my weight, I tend to think I look okay. [Hey...least a pretty face helps!] I'm not one to really go crying about "omg I'm fat!" cause well, we all know it. Scale tells me every morning, the mirror reassures me daily. I've accepted it, I've also accepted that it needs to change.

But I refuse to look fat in wedding pictures! Well, my own at least. I don't exactly care if I look fat in others. That's their problem, not mine. But dammit, I'm not gonna go lookin' fat in them! Specially when the most I'd have going for me is a simple dress [or jeans and a t-shirt] and a JOP in another freakin' country! Something's gotta look good.

I leave the country in 3 months, I'd at least like to have taken a good chunk of my weight off. I'm built..strangly as it is, a 20lb difference would certainly be noticable. It's just those damn blond oreos that get me everytime....kinda like my attraction to blond women.

Anywho! As I was saying, it gets irritating when everyone expects the skinny guy to go for the skinny girl. Last I checked I was born with a brain, mind, personality, the ability to be great in bed [score!] :sifone:, all that should be worth more then "look at her weight."

Then again, most everyone else is self concious about themselves and feel the need to take it on others.

Yah..I'll keep telling myself that one.
 
Day 10

November 27th

Number the scale started screaming at:: 276

Things I stuffed my face with today::
1 can veg. beef soup - 225
12fl oz apple juice -- 180
1 blue berry muffin -- 300

1 cup elbow noodle -- 390
Parmesan cheese -- 34
16fl oz apple juice -- 240
diced tomato from a can -- 23

1 ham/lettuce/bread/mayo/cheese sandwhich -- 400? [I have this habit of taking out half the ham in it anyways and feeding it to the cat. If I can't get fat, the kitty may as well do it.]
12 fl oz apple juice -- 180
1 antipasta salad -- 300 [had some ham and cheese in it, mostly yanno, lettuce and tomatos]
Vinegar/oil dressing -- 150
Italian bread -- 300
butter -- 100 [It was one pat of butter, not sure the calories]


Calories consumed from all that:: 2,380

Eeeek!! However, if I bump off the first part it'd be:: 1,675 [see bottom for explination on the first part]

Exercise:: "Exercise...what exercise?!"

Calories burned from that:: Yah....needa work on that one

Eh....I've got till Midnight.

To be fair, I count my calories from 12am to 12am. Really, I only woke up at 6pm yesterday and went to bed at 3am today. So the whole soup/muffin/apple juice should be tied in with yesterday because I hadn't slept yet. I used to count depending on when I slept or didn't.

Then I realized, who cares? So, 12 to 12 it is!

Mini goal:: Learn to walk on the freaking treadmill without tripping/losing balance/falling over/flying off..okok, seriously, without holding on. I can't comfortably walk without holding on yet.
Click to expand...
I spent a lot of time working on this myself... and there was an article in an inflight magazine i had read that helped - and basically it said if you're struggling with holding on - then slow down the treadmill until you can walk without holding on... 50 percent of the problem might be in your head but slowing down the treadmill will m ake it more comfortable for you -- and then work on getting the speeed back up... but it takes practice

Dont worry about calorie burn -but focus on time spent walking...

I can walk comfortably on it at the speed I'm going, it's just after the first 2 minutes I feel myself walking towards the edge and then well, somehow the floor gets very very tall and meets the rest of me. =P

I should spend sometime doing it slowly and just understanding that "this is not a street, there fore, I can't walk in the middle of it!"

Least I don't have to watch out for any big bad farm tractors that may squash me.
 
I'm so dense

Haha. I'm so freakin' dense. It dawned on me sometime between now and about an hour ago, as to WHY this site is helpful.

I keep putting off recording what I ate for dinner and the calories, cause hello, pig out fest! And I'm sittin' here thinkin "Gee...this is so embarrassing" then like a freaking brick it hits me...

"Durrr....that's sort of the point having to record it for all to see! Keeps yourself on track."

I swear, if my head weren't attached it'd be rollin' on the floor somewhere.

Oh! But I also found out when the boyfriend comes back into Port! More incentive to knock off a few pounds. :gnorsi:​

Well, lol..I say that goal because I haven't really been doing anything. Once I actually get my ass in gear and get in the groove of things, I'll set normal goals. This was just sort of a today goal.

your weight will flucatuate on any given day - so don't worry about the actual number - really stay focused on changing your habits and trying to eat healthy and exercise...

based on some of the foods listed in the previous entry - the weight change is probably sodium related and nothing else...

Erg...needa lay off the candy. =( I can't ever stick to anything and I dunno why. It's frustrating. Extremely. I've been trying to drink a lot of water, but after so many days of drinking so much of it I just get to the point where even the thought of drinking it makes me feel ill. ​
 
Day 18

December 5th

Weight:: Didn't weigh

Ate:: Pumpkin pie
1 bowl speghetti
tomato sauce [meat]


Losing weight is hard when trying to stay out of a depression funk. I feel myself going down hill and so I've just been eating more. I'm trying not to but I kinda, just do it. Once the depression settles and hits fully I know food will become a forgein thing to me. I hardly eat then.

This just..sucks. Somedays I think I have too much on my mind and it's the stress constantly screwing with eating and exercise. I don't know.​
 
Don't let it get you down. Everybody gets kind of funky in the winter, I think. You'll pull through!

You're really lucky you have a treadmill at your house, where you don't have to compete with people at the gym for it and you can just jump on it whenever you want. If you're finding exercise difficult, how about just jumping on for 5-10 minutes before every meal instead of trying to jam it into a half hour session? It's just as good for you as a half hour sess, but it's not so hard. :)

You can do it!! ;)
