Get Fit or Die Tryin'...

Thursday, April 9th.

Breakfast:
Wheat toast, 1 tbsp yogurt butter, cinnamon (~130 calories)
Snack:
Protein shake (90 calories)
Lunch:
Grapes (~150 calories)
Snack:
None
Dinner:
Pot pie ( ?? calories)

Well, got up and went to the gym (and tanning) this morning. I did 4 miles of running and walking on the treadmill...walking at 8% incline, burns more calories. Then 10 minutes on the bike because someone was on the machine I wanted to use and then some abs. I contemplated on doing some more abs now that I'm home...maybe the Turbo Jam 20 minute abs or whatever it's called, if I feel like it. Although, I'd rather shower and go get my nails done...we'll see!

For dinner tonight my Mom brought home pot pies from Boston Market. I read that Boston Market is a good 'fast food' place to eat, if you skip the pot pie. Great. Anyhow, I ate about half of it and was full, then my brother ate the rest of mine and his cause he's a hog...good thing though because it prevented me from eating the rest of it later. It probably isn't as good heated up anyhow.

I hope I can get to the gym tomorrow. I can get called into work at anytime after 10, since it's Good Friday. The weather isn't supposed to be nice so there might not be many golfers. The gym is only open tomorrow from 8-12, so I might get up early and go, then call work and see if they need me. At least I'll be on the move all day if I do have work...

Where do you live? I have that same problem with the snow as well :(

We had one day in the 70s in March and it's been snowing and raining and windy and freezing ever since then!

It's so hard to stay motivated when you're not seeing results! I lost a lot of weight in February and March and now it's just refusing to come off...

I guess it's not really weight I need to lose, I just want to look better and get rid of my tummy pouch :(

Good luck to you! I'll try my best to kick your ass when you don't make it to the gym!
 
I live in Pennsylvania...70 and sunny one day, snowing the next. Gotta love it. NOT! Can't say I've ever been to or thought of going to Utah...but I hope, for your sake, it warms up!

I lost like 5 lbs from January and February and now it's just sticking. I don't think I necessarily need to lose weight, but I just want to look better. Screw what the scale says if I look in the mirror and it says otherwise! I'm at an awkward "in between" stage at the moment...my "fat jeans" are too big, my "skinny jeans" are a bit too tight, and I only have one pair of "middle jeans" that I like, so I've been rockin' yoga pants! Everyone says that how you gain weight is from wearing sweatpants too much, but I try on my jeans like every other day to make sure...I can even tell by putting on my pants I wear to the gym if I'm having a fat or skinny day, so I don't think that theory works...on me, at least!

So here we are, stuck in the cold weather, not seeing results...wanna move to Miami? Vegas? Phoenix? :)
 
I could totally see how you could gain weight from sweatpants everyday, because they are sooo forgiving!

Ha, don't get me wrong...I do go to the gym a lot. Well up until this past week I did. I've went 6 days a week since January and sometimes 7. I've been working with a trainer on and off for about 3 years now. We have a pretty set routine, but switch it up every now and then so I don't get ridiculously bored.

Day 1: Back and biceps
Day 2: Legs and triceps
Day 3: Chest and shoulders

That works out so I get to do each workout twice a week...then I get to throw cardio and abs in when time permits, normally at least three days a week. Obviously this week I'm not going by that routine, considering I didn't work out Monday or Tuesday. It is working, slowly. I loved when I first started losing how the weight would come off so quickly and I'd see changes...now it just takes a lot of work and a long time to get where I want to be. That's how it was when I dropped from 128 to 118 last spring...I busted my ass at the gym, 7 days a week, but I got the results I wanted.

Well it sure sounds like your doing all the right things.
I am trying to recall how many cals you eat a day. Do you ever have a slurge day? In the past when I would get stuckfor a while I would go ahead and eat a couple of high cal meals and amazingly enough it seemed to kick something into gear.

I normally have a cheat meal on Saturday or Sunday...pizza or taco dip or whatever I've been craving all week.

Something's going wrong...it's just still a mystery. I need to get back on a strict diet. That'll probably fix it. I eat within my calories for the day, but this past week I haven't been eating all the right things and I need to cut out the crap. That oughtta fix it.
 
Your probably right.
Amazing how eating crap for even a week can stall a weight loss project.
Now get back on the wagon *cracks a whip* LOL :smilielol5:
Have a Great Easter!

i'm back on the gym wagon, but the strict diet wagon is still a bit shaky :)
i'm blaming my mother...she always brings home 'good' (BAD) stuff or cooks something totally unnecessary. damn her. starting monday i am eating totally clean. (pray for me, lol)

happy easter to you too!!
 
Friday, April 10th.

Breakfast:
Wheat toast, butter, cinnamon (~130 calories)
Snack:
Protein shake (90 calories)
Lunch:
Yogurt (100 calories)
Dinner:
1/2 of a fillet of fish, pierogies, coleslaw ( ?? calories)
Snack:
Smore (~150 calories)

I got up this morning, ate my breakfast, and headed to the gym. I did a little bit of abs and obliques, some arms, and ran 5 miles on the treadmill...it said I burned over 500 calories, which I'm not sure to trust those things, but I was hoping. My knee is sore now.

My mom made fish sandwiches, pierogies, and coleslaw tonight for dinner...can't eat meat on Friday, of course. I ate half of my fillet of fish cause it was huge and it was not from McDonald's! You know "give me that fillet of fish, give me that fish..." and I hope it gets stuck in everyone's head. I had a couple bites of coleslaw, not sure why cause I don't really like it, but my Grandma is a stickler with "try a little bit of everything, even if you don't like it." Ugh. Pierogies may have been my downfall, but considering I didn't really eat much today, I guess it can slide.

MONDAY = Eat clean. No more bad food. Run miles. Lift. Drink water. Take B12 and pray it gives me more energy. Bike. Abs. Kill my best guy friend cause he is a bad influence when it comes to food.

Ok, maybe I won't kill him...I'll just stop answering his calls and hanging out with him, although then he'd just come to my house and drag me out...by my hair, then force feed me pizza, wings, and ice cream.

I think I've lost it. I need sleep!
 
Saturday, April 11th.

Breakfast:
Wheat toast, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp jelly (215 calories)
Lunch:
Grapes (~150 calories)
Snack:
Yogurt (100 calories)
Dinner:
Linguine, white wine sauce, clams, French bread ( ?? calories)

Good morning y'all. I'm waiting around to see if I get called into work. My boss normally calls around 10 and lets me know...it's not looking too promising outside. If no work, I'm going to the gym! We'll see how it goes.

I got called into work. I packed some grapes and yogurt to told me over throughout the day. When I got home, my boyfriend had made linguine w/ white wine sauce and clams and got French bread from Panera. I ate it, although I shouldn't have. I feel guilty.

I didn't make it to the gym because of work. I went in at about 11:30 and got off at 6:30. The gym was only open in the morning from 8-12, due to the Easter holiday. I should've gotten up before I got called into work, but I was lazy. I feel guilty about this also.

I love eating clean!
It makes life so much easier. When it comes to choices that is.
Really cuts out all the stuff that is so un-needed in life.
Ciao
 
Sunday, April 12th.

I ate everything under the sun. I probably couldn't even count the calories if I tried. I feel horrible about myself. The bad thing is, I think I gained tons of weight before yesterday, because my size 4 NY&Co pants were too tight when I put them on before church yesterday morning. In February, they were too big when I went to New York City.

So after my pants that I want to wear don't fit, why would I go eat everything possible that's bad for me? I have no idea. That just makes me more frustrated. I ate cookies, 1/2 of a cinnamon roll, pretzel salad, potatoes, quiche, candy, pasta salad, sauerkraut, keibossi...although I did only eat a spoonful or ONE piece of everything I did have. I was still overly full.

I'm so mad at myself. I haven't been eating horribly, but I haven't been eating as good as I can, but I don't feel like I've been totally blowing it with my eating habits at all. My exercise has been consistent up until Sunday through Tuesday of last week.

I suck at life.
 
Monday, April 13th.

Since I'm already fat, why doesn't my Mom make blueberry muffins (120 calories/muffin) and I eat 2 of them and a mini-pack of Skittles (60 calories) for breakfast? I hate myself and the 610 calories I have left to eat for the rest of the day...and it's not even 11 am yet. :(

Sometimes I feel the exact same way as you do! Try not to get discouraged when those damn SOB jeans don't fit the way you want them to.

It's hard sometimes to think positively and not go "WELL I'M ALREADY A FATASS, LET'S BRING ON THE CHOCOLATE AND PASTRIES!"

Believe me, I feel that way everyday!

Good luck staying focused! Don't starve yourself the rest of the day, either! Try filling up on fruits and veggies and water!
 
Try not to be to hard on yourself.
We all have those days. Heck sometimes I even go a week or more before I can get back under control.
But back under control I do get and so will you.
 
thanks kimmy and bellaryna! :)

i was just having a major fit this morning, lol.
tomorrow's a new day!!

for sure! the blueberry muffins and candy had vanished! lol

goshh, i was such a drama queen yesterday. two muffins and a miniature pack of skittles is not the end of the world...i was just thinking to myself, at least it wasn't like MCDONALD'S! or an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's, which i think runs about 500 calories or more.

so apparently yesterday i was craving sweet...now why am i craving salty and crunchy today? although i do tend to crave more bad things the week before my period than the week of. not sure why. i've always thought it was really weird, but that's how it goes.
 
Tuesday, April 14th.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal (160 calories)
Lunch:
Yogurt, 6 bagel crisps (300 calories)
Snack:
Pasta salad (~100 calories)
Dinner:
Fish, noodles, broccoli (~500 calories)

I went to the gym this morning, after I let my oatmeal settle a bit...it's really heavy. I did 4 miles on the treadmill, 5 minutes on the bike (boring), then abs. I contemplated going back sometime this afternoon or evening, if I feel like it, since I don't have work today [gross, cloudy, rainy, AGAIN].

I don't have much cleaning or anything to do around the house today, so I should probably find something to do to keep myself entertained so I don't eat bad things or go shopping and waste money (like on Friday when I purchased myself new Oakley's and Juicy sunglasses, spent about $250ish).

I need to take my bike to the Schwinn shop and get it fixed. Maybe I'll borrow Dad or boyfriend's truck and do that. I don't need it fixed til Memorial Day weekend, when we go to our cabin, but I should get it fixed so I can log some miles before then. It'll keep me entertained. I need to get a softer seat...riding for a long time is literally a pain in the ass, haha.
