Getting Fit For College: The Eric Diary

So here we begin my diary at WLF.

I'll start off with a little bit about me. My name is Eric and I came to this site about three years ago when I was a freshman in high school and started up a diary right away. I started joining the weight loss competitions and participating in other forum activities and had amazing success with my weight loss. I started out at 225 pounds and dropped all the way to 160! I eventually stopped losing weight and have stayed at about that weight ever since. Well, usually averaging around 170 really.

I'll be going to college come next school year and I'd really like to be thin and in shape before I begin there and that's why I've come back to the forums. I look forward to updating this daily as well as reading many other diaries to see how they are doing.

My goal is to reach about 140 by the beginning of September. So I have about 5 months to drop about 30-35 pounds as well as gain muscle.

Today was officially my first day of my latest health kick. Unfortunately, I forgot to weigh myself this morning and I'm a firm believer in a morning weigh-ins only. I'll be weighing myself tomorrow morning.

I did really good today and refused to eat anything that wasn't part of my meal plans. I passed up pizza, a cookie, and chocolate covered almonds all in one day!! Amazing I know, lol jk. I was also able to get a work out in which I'm really impressed with myself about because I honestly wasn't sure if I would work out. That was truly the test today. So:

Breakfast: Small bowl of fruit loops
Snack: Apple
Lunch: Turkey sandwich with miracle whip and swiss cheese on wheat bread
Orange
Snack: 1/2 cup yogurt
Dinner: 1 cup spaghetti w/ meat and sauce

Water: 32oz.
I still plan on drinking another 16 oz. of water before the night is over, however, my goal of 64 oz. won't be reached tonight.

Work Out:
25 Knee Lifts [x2]
10 Push Ups
20 Modified Push Ups
25 Squats [x2]
25 Toe Touches [x2]
10 Leg Lifts [6sec]
30 Crunches

I hope to buy dumbbells soon to add to my workout regimen.

Well, that's it for today. I plan to read some diaries today and look forward to visiting tomorrow as well. Thanks for reading!

I had a pretty poor weekend. It wasn't the worst but I definitely could have done better.

I'm pretty sure I pulled out some muscles in my arms so I just decided to rest this weekend and get ready for the week ahead. My eating wasn't great either. I got in plenty of fruits and veggies but I just over-ate when I didn't need to. I did, however, get in at least 64oz. of water both days.

That's basically all I have to update with today. I don't feel like trying to remember all the little things I ate throughout the weekend. Not having a set schedule is really painful. Anyways, have a good one folks.
 
I forgot to come by and fill this in yesterday so here are my stats for yesterday.

Breakfast: Bowl of Special K cereal
Snack: Pineapple fruit cup
Lunch: Chicken tuna sandwich
Apple, Banana, Orange
Dinner: 3-5oz. steak
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1 cup green beans
1/2 cup rice-a-roni
Dessert: 1/2 cup fruit trail mix

Water: 64 oz.

I did my usual work out but I did a few dumbbell exercises this time. I want to start building up my arms so I think next time I am going to go to less reps and more weight. I haven't started running yet and that's truly my goal at this point.
