haha, I did the vanilla with rainbow chips from time to time, but my fav was chocolate. But I didn't discriminate against whatever was in the house! Horrible!

I too ate chocolate frosting from the container. I too was told I probably have big bones! Although my wrists are actually really tiny and I'm short! I like your fit spiration (or whatever) pictures.... you can do this! I've never seen my abs.... my brother used to say I had a keg instead of a six pack although I wasn't totally fat then he'd just mess with me cause my girl body didn't have much a chance at abs I guess. I don't know if I ever had a six pack under there but it would be cool to see one some day.... I'm caffinated tonight so hopefully you don't mind a little ramble



So on your day 5, I can see why you were starving, your calories are low for your height.... you can definately do more calories and still lose... I know it feels good to lose fast, but maybe not as healthy or sustainable as far as long term weight maintnance goes... but hey you're doing awesome!!!

Thanks for the compliment. That costume was near to impossible to put together.


On a side note don't you love the "big boned" excuse. As if it were even a thing, it doesn't give us an excuse to be chubsters... your bones have nothing to do with your body fat % haha. Oh gosh.


And I know you are very right about the calories, it was way too low. But I am just getting into this healthy eating thing and I was trying to stick away from eating the wrong things and then I ended up eating too less. But I would rather eat too little at the beginning until I learn how to balance my diet. Undereating is better for me than overeating! Lord knows I do that too much already!



So today I tried to find a scale. Reason: because I NEED to see if I am making progress. I don't necessarily need it right away but I will need it eventually to see if the scale is going in the correct direction! Couldn't find one so that will have to wait. Also bought some more of my "On the Go" meal replacements so I am stocked up for lunches this week. I still have the hundred calorie snack bars so I am good in that dept. I need to go somewhere like GNC and see if I can find bars that are high in carbs and high in protein with little carbs. I found some at Shoppers today but they were Atkins ones and they were hella expensive.


If any Canadians out there know where I can find such bars for cheap let a brotha know.


So I will move on to my eating for the day. I didn't achieve my goal of eating better just yet but hopefully by the end of the week it will have improved from last week

So I am getting closer to where I need to be with calories. I always allow for a 100-150 extra calorie intake anyway cause you know things aren't always exactly what they say. I had another long day of moving and stuff at work and my back and legs are killing me so I skipped the walk for tonight. Another one of my goals is gonna be to start doing some exercises during the evening. Wish me luck peeps!


DAY 8


30 DAY CHALLENGE


Day 08 - Your workout routine.


Well this one is embarrassing, I don't exactly have a workout routine yet. Currently I am doing quite a physical job all day, I am packing and moving huge totes as well as furniture for an office which is switching locations. At the end of the day I am more than exhausted. I got for a half hour or forty-five min walk just about every night though.... that is all I can handle for right now. I am hoping to get a yoga mat and implement some basic floor exercises within the next week or two.

Just a quick update before I write my full post tonight


Today I purchased my FIRST weight scale!


That is correct I am the new proud owner of scale so I can check in on myself on a frequent basis (I am not even gonna lie it will probably be daily)


Anyway, I was going to wait until tomorrow morning before weighing myself to watch for progress.... mainly because I feel that is your actual weight, when you wake up before you eat.... but curiousity got the better of me and I hopped onto the scale fully clothed as soon as I got home (including sweater, winter coat, cell phone, wallet)


With ALL my winter gear on the scale read 216.


Which would have been a one pound increase from when I weighed myself last.


So that reassured me I had made progress I just wasn't sure HOW MUCH progress I had made. So I took of the winter gear.. just to my shirt and pants and weighed myself again


208 on the dot.


YES! HALLELUJAH!


I know when you first start weight loss the first bit goes by fast but that was perfection for me! 7 lbs gone and if I am correct, I usually hold about 1-2 lbs in a day so when I weigh tomorrow morning it should be a little less, I won't get my hopes up but I am hoping for somewhere around 207! I am excited, happy, proud, etc. It definitely gave me a boost. It really helped me realize making these small changes can make a HUGE difference.... and I haven't even began working out hard, eating even better, etc! It feels good this time, feels right!


I think I will also start taking weekly pictures because between the pics an the scale going down I should stay motivated.


I had to share what was good news to me.


Cheers everybody!

TOTAL CALORIES: 1980


So I was a little heavier today on calories as per the zig-zagging effect. The only issue I have with this is my job actually wasn't very physical today and it's raining way to hard to go for even a short walk... So given I have had made good progress it kinda sucks to see the number be so high but apparently it is good to zig-zag your calories to keep your body guessing. So tomorrow I will be back to the regular amount and continue that way for a couple days.


I am rerouting my cheat day to this Friday instead of Sunday because it is a friends b-day and we are going out for drinks.... to a salsa bar.... with yummy Colombian food downstairs.... So I am gonna be tempted and if I am drinking I will have some. So Friday is gonna be a bust but I'll follow it up with a healthy Saturday.


AND NOW... for the 30 day challenge entry for today!


Day 09 - Did people ever make comments about your weight in a negative way?


The long and short of it is Yes and No. So yeah comments have been made before, but it wasn't one of those situations where I felt tormented and couldn't go anywhere because of it. Like anyone who is overweight I have atleast been attacked once about my weight.... whether it be by my scrawny little bean-pole brother... or some little kid... or another. But it was never to the extent of being tormented so I was lucky. In fact most people disagree with me when I talk about my weight, they claim I am smaller than I see myself. My biggest critic and the person to comment on my weight in a negative way the MOST -- Myself! I always felt like if you get to the jokes first no one else has a chance, maybe it has worked. So I generally make a comment or two a day, it's just the way I am. I hope one day I will get past that too because I think it just reinforces my confidence issues.

I'm not gonna put my diary of food on today... I am seriously exhausted and need sleep in the worst of ways

I'll put it on tomorrow.... and let's just say this... it AIN'T pretty.


But I will own it and strive for much better tomorrow. Ill post both todays and tomorrows



Anyway why I really come was to show my progress... it ain't much yet but it is something.


I hopped on my brand new scale first thing this morning before I put anything in my belly....


it read...



206.5


I honestly can't believe it. That is a big amount of weight for only 10 days. The first bit always comes off the easiest though... its gonna get HARD from here on out.


So that is roughly about 8.5 lbs lost so far! I need to get one of those trackers for the bottom in my signature... how do I do that?? anyone?


There is no real difference in the fotos but to commemorate and remind myself to keep going; every week or two weeks I will take fotos and do a comparison to previous weeks to see the progress. In these you can't even notice a difference at all; just a little bit of bloat drop.... but on a big guy like me and being this overweight 8 lbs is nothing so it doesn't really show... but I took some anyways.


I'll be back to see you all soon! Tomorrow night


Cheers FM



Comparison Fotos!


Each photo on the left of the comparison photos is my first pics taken on Nov 12th I think... On the right of the comparison photos is the current photo from today Nov 22nd





Like I said you cant notice any difference really. The front on looks exactly the same, the side you can see a bit less bloating in the upper stomach (just under chest) and a little tinsy insy insignificant amount of less bloat in my lower belly. Still progress to make!
