Dreamer's Diary...

eee! i ordered my hula hoop today!!! im stoked. hopefully i wont be too chicken to go out and do it in the park or something. when im home for the summer ill have a yard, but until then we'll have to see. did i mention im stoked.. lol.i really hope this works out well for me.
 
ok. this scale has got me buggin. so.. i get on it and it says 270. so i check to make sure it is zero'd. and its -1. so i zero it and get back on and it says 273/274. gah. : ( idk what to think.

school stress is about to kick in too. that sucks... but before that happens ill be headin off to milwaukee for an art show and that will be nice.

AND i think that time of the month is creeping up on me slowly..idk if that adds wt or what, but if thats the case, im holding steady throughout.. so maybe when things level out at the end ill be at a loss.

Yesterday i walked sooo much. one uphill both ways trip for my morning class, and to my night class too.

I think all my 'water weight' is lost and now is time for the real stuff... and... have i mentioned how excited for this hula hoop i am LOL

well, ttfn

Have fun at your art show, girlie! And careful with your eating when you're away, that's my complete weakness. When I'm on vacation I eat EVERYTHING. Cause it's VACATION! LOL. Anyway, I know you'll be strong.

"The time of the month" definitely adds some bloat for me. No worries....I'm so sorry that school stress is creeping up on you. It's so difficult when you're in college trying to study, work and live marginally healthy. You're doing great, though...keep on going!
 
Hey AmyJo, what kind of hula hoop did you get? did you get one of those weight bearing hula hoops??? where did you order it from??

HULA HOOPS WORK. well, they leave you bruises...
 
i got it from canyon hoops... and yeah its weighted, but that just means its made out of durable materials (as opposed to cheap plastic ones for 5 yr olds) The one i got is called a dance hoop... suitable for adults, good for tricks and working out. They make heavier ones specifically for exersize too. Im sooo excited. i reallyl really hope it gets here this weekend!!!
 
I was soo happy to step on the scale after an uneasy night (worst case of cramps EVER... seriously it was horrible...) to find myself at 272. probably the lowest in ages. ok, i just checked, about a year ago... i got to 271... but still.. a year ago.. so. Im in a happy place. I just hope this weekend dosent mess everything up.

I plan on taking alot of water. and some good snacks... granola or something. but... im going to be drinking, and i dont really feel like worrying about cals and such while trying to have fun. im not a fan of beer, so thats ok. and i dont drink soda anymore, so i dont have to worry about that. Im thinking fuzzy navels or orange juice/ other juice centered drinks will be ok ish. I didnt look at the ingredients of this one drink, but the smirnoff raw tea malt beverage was pretty darn good... and buzz worthy too.

ok. off to get productive things done... i have a busy weekend ahead of me... ugh
 
Hey girl!
Have fun on your trip, and congrats on your new low!!!!!

Ohhhh, stay away from the daquiris and marguritas...those things are delicious, but evil!
 
ok. so im back... have been for a few days...

I did well while away.. but coming back was the hard part. Ive been having cravings and im running low on groceries, so i just gotta make things work. Im holding steady at 274 as a morning weight. I need to get more walking in, or yoga. My hoola hoop should be in sometime this week... but it would be at my moms, an hour and a half away.. : ( School stresses are adding up here quickly... yikes.

well I gotta get ready for class...
have a good one all.

Foods today

special K in the am. and then a special k bar later

Lunch was loose meat with a bit of katchup and miracle whip

dinner was a fried chicken classics meal... but i didnt realize it was bony chicken... i cant really eat that... yuck. and a side of potatoes and corn.

and some icecream for dessert. more than i should have.... but... that should be it for the day...

waters throughout...

I cant wait for my hula hoop!!

The hula hoop has been delivered to my moms house!!! i cant wait to get it!!! hopefully my sister can bring it out here sunday maybe.

finally got groceries today. Hopefully they last long enough. its really hard to diet on a budget... or eat well...

I think im doing good with the water for the most part.

Could cut back on some overindulgences... but thats difficult. Im still around 274. I gotta find something to kick this plateau... cmon will power... kick in.
 
ok... hula hoop is in the house! its kinda tricky... but i havent got much space to do it in. yesterday i moved like... 1/3rd of my stuff out and my sister took it back home, that was a workout... over 20 stairs to my apt...

then we went out for dinner. I had a burger and fries, lettuce and cheese.. only ate half the burger, but i ate my fries... i had water and then drank more water when i got home... and surprisingly the scale reads a bit lower today. im weighing in a new spot, so that may be it... but i checked the other spots and one reads a loss of one, and the other reads a loss of 2. so... ill just stick with the newest spot which is more convienient than the others and just go from there ... for 3 weeks.

since the roomie isnt home, ill give the hoop another try here now....

have a good one!!
 
ok. sorry... ive been missing in action lately.

wrapping up the school year and all.

Im very much stuck in a rut. cant seem to break the 270 mark. almost looked like it today, but im not going to count on that yet. not until the number 7 no longer appears.

food is limited and i find myself eating out of vending machines or from the gas station. i try to make good choices. mornings are the easiest, as ive got the cereal. but if i dont have time for breakfast... then things kinda suffer..

ah well.

oh! hula hoop :

still cant do more than 3 or 4 rounds... but it gets me movin. its fun. it will be even more so when i can actually do it. I think its the nature of my body and how its.... (dont laugh) squishy. it kinda throws off the physics of hooping.

ttfn
 
ok. so im officially out of the 270s. I hope never to see it again. Today it was wavering in between 268 and 269. so i think thats a safe bet to say im out.and these past few days havent even been 'good' days. BUT that time of the month is a comin for this weekend.hopefully that wont bring 270 back.
 
wow. another 2 disappeared. i dont know how that happened, as im not trying hard at this time... ive got finals and projects that are taking my attention.

maybe its cuz i have no food around. I do.. but its the stuff i never wanted during the year. noodles. rice cakes. Im trying not to go shopping if i dont have to, as im moving out this weekend. Ordering in and having leftovers sounds pretty good right now : )
 
Checking in...

Wow. Its been awhile. Technically Im still at that plateau of 270s. Im living In milwaukee and have been having a blast... until this week. I have a terrible bout of homesickness. Im moving back in december, but until then, I just have to hang in there. I live with my sister who is soooo picky when it comes to food that she is the one who really gets to pick out the food stuff. So much for healthy eating. Over the summer I have a job that will have me outside working for awhile. If that dosent do anything for me, I dont know what will.

There isnt room to hoop here.

I try to walk to work if I can when I can.

giving up soda again.

I think im a little depressed, so the eating fluctuates here and there.

anyways. thats enough for now.
 
AAAAND Im back again.

Hey world. Im back again. And unfortunately reporting that im still around 275. BUT. Hopefully that will change. Today/Tomorrow mean alot to me in a variety of ways. Ya know how it is when there is just something in the air? Something that makes you feel like things wont be the same anymore? Well, Ive got that feeling in a number of areas in my life.

Ideally I would like to join a gym, but that is financially not an option.
Ideally it would be warm out and I would enjoy going out and doing stuff, but its not.
Ideally I would be comfortable sharing my journey with family and friends, but im not.

So... I will be working on little changes. And i believe that these little changes will help. I know its not the way that I have succeeded before, but I hope to use this space to continue to be accountable.

I have joined the Biggest Loser watch along challenge... I am intimidated and scared as I dont think I can go all out fierce with the exercising, but I will do what I can.

So. Here I am, Age 25, Ht 5'2'', Wt 275. Starting now, things have to change.
