-- How much weight do you want to lose?
15 pounds or even 20 if possible.

-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
12 weeks till the new year.

-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
Aerobics and healthy diet.

-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
My sister and myself. Also, my friends.

-- How realistic is your goal?
Pretty realistic since I am short and am technically overweight for my height. Also, I have the advantage of a cooking background and a grocery store that provides everything I need to do the diet.

-- When will you start?
Week one begins Monday October 8th.


I am going to use planned eating, 2 easy workouts a day and plenty of water.

I shall record all that I eat and aproximate portions of the food in my journal to help myself learn from others and to help others learn from me. Once a week I will weigh myself in the same outfit, around the same time of the day and mark it in my journal. Even if I do not reach my goal in the time I want, the life changes will be enough to someday reach it.

By doing this it will inspire others to become healthier and happier.

So, first off.

Sunday October 7th. 11 pm.

I just had a glass of lite chocolate soymilk instead of eating a snack. Since its quite late. I have to pick my sister up from work at 1:30 am and when I get home I will go to bed. I have trouble sleeping usually. I will make myself some chamomile or sleepytime tea and meditate for half and hour. Hopefully I will be asleep by 3 am. 3+5 is 8. I will wake up at 8 am and go for a walk on the bike trail in town with my sister. Just for about 45 minutes. Then home for breakfast, showers and maybe work. I hope I work in the afternoon!

Since I am pre planning my food. I decided I will have for breakfast:
@9am
1/3 cup baked beans
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
1 cup chocolate soymilk

Snack (If I don't work till later)
1 cup carrots and apples with Peanutbutter tofu dip
Hot green tea

Lunch (at break or about 12)
1 Bean and rice burrito with tomatoes and lettuce
1 Nectarine
1 glass soymilk

Dinner (about 4 or 6)
1 cup Homemade Lentil soup (Lentils, carrots, potatoes)
1/2 cup steamed broccoli with Nutritional yeast
Baked Yam with salt and pepper
Tea

Snack (if I need it)
1 small box of raisins and a few crackers

Well, ok Lets see if I stick to the meal plan or if I snack on mint chocolate cookies and rootbeer.

Thanks!
 
October 8th NOON

Unfortunatley I slept in. My phone died during the night so the alarm didn't go off. I did get to eat my planned lunch and I work at 5. So I am still going to get one workout in before I go to work. Also, I can easily put my soup into a thermos so I will be able to snack before going to work. I need to get enough food into me to keep my metabolism going.

Things to do today that can be somewhat aerobic:

Laundry - I can walk it up and then go run errands in town while it washes. I can also put music on and fold and hang with vigor!

Work - I can bring in my Ipod and do dishes/other tasks at a quicker pace. I can give the box of potatoes a few extra lifts and I can do some squats and jumping jacks in the bathroom while on break.

I want to be so tired when I get home at 2am that I go straight to bed.

I want to try to wake up again tommarow at 8 am. I work at 11 tommarow in the morning so I will have some time to do a workout!

My job has been alot of BS. I think I should go and get a better one.

Peace out!
 
Hello

And thanks for visiting my diary and leaving your positive comments.

Can I just say, I *almost* wish I had your problem?? 15 - 20lbs is also my target weight loss for this year, but that's like 80lbs shy of my overall goal...

I have learnt not to put unnecessary pressure on myself though. I celebrate each and every success. That means when I eat a good breakfast, I'm successful, I celebrate - by eating a good lunch! That's my reward for being good to me!

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'll look around your diary more. I need to get more veggies into me anyway, so maybe (as you're a cook), I can get some meal inspirations from reading your posts.

Have a kicking week!
 
Arigato! Veggies and fruit are awesome! I really like dried figs at the moment. Oishii!


October 9

Breakfast so far has been:

1 bowl of cream of wheat with DHA+ plain soymilk and a bartlett pear.

Lunch (What I am packing for break)

Whole Wheat Spaghetti with tomato sauce and nutritional yeast, broccoli with nurtitional Yeast and 1/2 cup of sliced oranges, and a Water or tea

I won't have time to snack since I work till 5 so I plan on having...

organic no sugar peanutbutter and only fruit jelly on 100% Natural Whole Wheat Bread, Carrot sticks, raisins, and some Soy milk.

All day I plan on drinking water.. and water.. and more water.

Workout this morning was dancing for 20 minutes. Later after dinner I want to dance another 30 minutes. I told my sister we are making a routine to Hinoi Team's Emoticons song. And another glass of soymilk before bed.

Alrighty. There ya have it.
 
Hi! Welcome to your diary :) Looks like you're off to a good start... keep it up! I can't seem to get myself to like the taste of soymilk... I've been in Japan so long that soy is in most foods that I ate, but soymilk kills me!

Ganbarre!

Thanks! I hope I follow my diet. Although I am having trouble.

So far, I woke up late today (don't work till 7 tonight) and have eaten 1 slice of mint chocolate cake (my roommate made me vegan cake!) and 1 cup of hacienda dip with chips. Not that healthy. So.. *shoves dip back into fridge*

Lunch (since I woke up too late for breakfast)
Apple with PB
Grilled Squash and tomato sandwich on whole wheat
glass of soymilk

Dinner
Roasted Zuchinni and garlic butter pasta with broccoli and oranges.

YAY!
 
I need to work on eating more. I know, it sounds strange.. but when I get stresses I don't eat alot and I don't want to drop weight too fast.

So, today I had

Breakfast
Banana, soymilk, peanutbutter, sugar free tapioca (made by me)

Lunch
french fries (I know not good) a Zoe's bar, half a clif bar (I was at work and it's hard to keep good food there)

Dinner
3 slices of wheat toast with sauce, chocolate soymilk, 6 dried figs

Thats not alot I think. I better make some brown rice and freeze it. That way I can make something healthy quick.

I did drink like a ton of water today and only about 6 oz of soda. I am trying to stay low on the pops. I think I will go ahead and eat an apple and a glass of juice before bed.

On the plus side, me and my sister are going to make some Quinoa soon. We never had it before and its part of our "Try a new food" thing. We also bought wheat berries and I want to try Jimica soon.

For exercise I took the garbage out (you have to walk to the dumpster) and I think I will dance for 1/2 an hour. I have 3 hours till my sister is off of work. *sigh*

Tomarrow I have off. My sister works at 4 pm. I am going to try and get her up early to go for a Autumn Walk. We want to collect pretty leaves, press them and frame them. I think it would look splendid on the wall.

Ok, since "planning" my meals is not working I am just going to make them the night before and that way I don't reach for whatever is easiest.

Tomarrow I am weighing myself. I know I was 140 about 2 or so weeks ago. Lets see if I gained muscle or lost fat. I do see definition in my arms and legs from squats and pushups! YAY!

Ja nee!!!!
