Going Bonkers! Weight Loss Diary

I am coming in late on your diary..
1st congrats on your weightloss so far.

On the whole water thing, i hate hate hate the taste or lack of taste of water. For me to be able to think about drink water i have to squeeze lime or lemon juice into it or freeze fresh fruit into ice cubes so it naturally flavors it .
 
I had a super day yesterday. Super super super.

I ate about 2100-2200 calories yesterday. Perfect.I did about 35 minutes of walking, 20 minutes of movement (movement for exercise, but not structured like walking), and spent 45 minutes in the pool. I'm starting to exercise my lung capacity in the pool. I don't have much.

This morning has been good so far. I'm finally starting to put in a weight training program of sorts. For now I'm just starting out with my 1lb dumbbells, but I'll work my way up. I'm also only doing 3 sets of 10 reps the moment.
My first weight lifting day wasn't very structured, but I hope to make it better and I practise.

Today I did:

Flat Chest Presses
Flat Chest Flies
Lateral Raises
Single Arm Rows (10 reps x 3 sets per arm)
Shrugs
Conecentration curls
French Presses
Half-Squats (ugh)
and
Seated Calf Raises

according to this website :

:) I hope I'm doing alright!
 
2200 calories about today. I'm thrilled. The pool was closed today, and my muscles are pretty sore already from the weight training. I did get out for about an hour to work on the garden :sifone: It's like Steve's Sig says "Slow movement is better than no movement". I love that quote.

I haven't weighed myself yet this week, but I hope the numbers are down a bit. Speaking of numbers being down

My measurements today (June 12th) are:

45"~Down -2"
45"~ Down - 2"
48" - Down 1"

Total: Down 5" total since starting! I'm on my way.
 
oh em gee.
I only did 30 squats (10 reps, 3 sets), my legs are killing me. I could hardly get out of bed. I wonder if I can walk it off.

I don't like squats.
 
I'm doing well with things. People are starting to notice my weight loss. 3 or 4people to date. I even noticed myself that I looked different in the gym mirror than I did last monday. It's freaky.


Had a good diet day today. 2200 calories. Hurray! 40 minutes in the pool (6/20), 30 minute walk home.

I'm feeling a little down on myself for past incidents not related to weight loss. A lot of guilt, a lot of regret. I should really let it go though. Circumstances were weird, and because of that I feel like (and others agree) it's forgiveable.

Steve Wilkos gets me feeling guilty for hurting others. I need to stop watching his show.

Otherwise life is great. Lots of plans for summer.
 
My weight has neither went up or went down in a month. That's good because I've been a jerk about my food all month. My swimming membership got screwed up because of summer. They changed the schedule, and I can't swim because I babysit.

My life has been busy. The gardening has gotten out of hand. There's so much to do. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. why isn't a day 40 hours long.
 
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I just got back from a week and a half vacation with my sister. Ate like garbage, and exercise a bunch. My weight is 252. That's a pound lost? I'm glad!

We went to the Toronto Zoo last week. I got the chance to touch a sting ray. Yuck! I don't like sea creatures of any sort, so to touch one was out of character for me, but it was a once in a life time opportunity, I couldn't give it up.

My poor sister. We got on the train to come home yesterday. It was a 4 hour trip home. Within 20 minutes of getting on the train, she threw up all over herself and the seat. I was so scared! I didn't know what to do, so I started crying my eyes out. The train service men were VERY helpful though, and offered her things to make her feel better. I'm very pleased with their service. Unfortunately, she is still very sick. She had a 104 fever last night. My mom was going to bring her to the hospital, but the tylonel helped take the temperature down quickly She's still got a fever, but it's much more mild.

I hope I don't get it.

Time to start picking up the slack again.
 
I'm not dead, and I haven't quit with my weight loss . I just haven't had a lot of time to be on the site. I'll get to my goal in good time, i'm sure. Life is stressful right now. I have a month to finish 2 entire credits for school. Yipee. I can't do it. I don't think I'll ever get my diploma.
 
My mom today picked up chocolate milk for the family and made her choice because of my calorie thing. She found chocolate milk that was sweetened with splenda, and made with 1% milk.

It comes in at 100 calories per cup (250 ml, 8 oz-ish), which is about 60-80 calories less than the normal chocolate milk that comes into this house, and 30 less than normal 2% milk (though I will continue to drink it). Not to mention it has less than half the sugar (in grams) of the other two brands of chocolate milk I drink! (And only one extra gram of sugar compared to the normal 2% milk).

While it may not be the healthiest thing I could eat, it helps me. And it simply isn't just portioned smaller, and more expensive, it's actually made that way.

I really wish more companies would start taking more consideration with their products. I've seen several start doing it, but not enough. Less sugar, no hydrogenated oil, less fats, anything! Not just for my own convenience, but I'm really concerned about the people in my life that these things effect too.

You can't even go to the movies and order popcorn because of how they make it. (Nevermind the price).


I haven't been feeling well for the past few days. I've been dizzy, and stomachey. Too much to get any exercise. I'll try to go tonight.

I haven't been eating as much either.

I haven't had much human contact this month other than going on vacation. I'm bored, and depressed.

I guess I should have worked harder almost 8 months with hardly any progress.
 
Boo. My weight still isn't moving. Well, I guess it's good that I'm maintaining it anyways--I was concerned that I would gain it back quickly in the end, but I didn't. I'm stressed. I need to get back into school to finish my diploma. I want to. I need to. I need their structure!!! I made my appointment today. I'm going to go back and cry until I get in. Once this stress is cleared up, my life will begin to feel less out of control.
 
Tomorrow I go to see if I can get back into school. Oooo I hope I do. My eating is in tact today. I got lots of great clothes last night-all is well.
 
My stress levels dropped from about 10 to 2 in the past few days. I went into school yesterday--and yes, I'm going back. I'm so excited, I could cry. I'm going right into a co-op program, it'll give me more job experience. I'm so thrilled to be able to have this chance. I'm finally beginning to look up at my life and be happy. Maybe my life will be good after all.


Now if I could only get this fat to fall off.
 
I'm so happy.

Happy happy happy.

I've started school again. I've gotten on a better schedule, and I'm overall happy to be there. I am very fortunate.

My weight is finally down LOL. 252. It's a start! I'll be walking or biking to school most days, so things are finally starting to get going.

Now that I'm in school, I can get an entire year's worth at the Gym for only $215!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's half the price of the adult gym pass!

I'm holding off still though, as I want to see where my schedule is going, but I'm very happy.
 
I'm not doing as well with my eating lately. I started working (it's for school), I have to get up too early for my tastes, I'm stressed out to the max, I hardly have the energy to shower anymore.

I am getting lots of time on my feet every day, and a 35 minute walk home, atleast. I didn't know working would make me so busy or tired.

I'm going to start eating fruit for lunch, and nothing else. I think I will be able to recover, yet.

I hope by the end of this job, I'm not dead.
 
I had a great day for eating yesterday. I'm usually starving after work, but I'm trying to resist eating as much. I'm still really tired, but that's getting better.

My weight is back down from 258, to 254. I think it was just a warning from my body telling me to knock it off.

I'm feeling sick though.


Only 4 more pounds til I'm under 250.I swear I'll have it soon. Then I'll take a picture.
 
Not feeling well.

I ate well today, my calories are slowly getting back into check. I'm tired all the time though.

Yay for calories in check.

Don't feel like typing more.
 
Oooo, I had a great week, and a bad sunday for eating. I got back down to 154 (From 158), which I Was very happy to have done. Unfortunately Sunday was a bad eating day for me (which is today). We had left over cake from my grandma's surprise birthday party, and that's really what did me in. I had more cake today than I had the party. Typical! I find I'm having a problem with boredem eating too on Sundays. I don't go out to do anything on sundays because of religious beliefs, so I'm at home most of the day getting bored. The rest of the week I can find something to occupy myself with.

I'll have to try harder. Overall, I'm happy.

I'm going to go ahead and try for the low carb diet. I think it will help me.
 
Overall your progress has been very good and you are going to reach your goals once you get back in to your exercise groove. I am the same way, over weight but generally focussed on at least walking and continually challenging myself. C Congratulations on your weight loss so far. (from another Canadian)
