Hajni's Diary: I will do it because I can

Yes, I think this time I did find that inside motivation!! And the fact that now it is going down and looking in the mirror is not so bad adds an extra boost to that motivation.
Even if I stay where I am now till Sat. this month will be the highest lbs lost month for me. The second highest was 6 lb/month, in the past I could never do anything better than that.
This challenge is really good for me!! Keeps me focused and I like that it has an "end date". For me it is easier when I think about: half is done, another half to go. Then when it is done I just find another milestone, timeline i stick to and concentrate on that. Small steps.
Almost ready to go to boot-camp. DH is picking up DD from the babysitter, so the earlier I get out of work, the earlier I can get to the gym and hop on the elliptical.
The gym brakes up the monotony of working out at home. I am not sure I would be able to stick to it six days a week without those classes twice a week.
ok, I am going now.
 
Busy again.
Only have time to copy and paste my food and exercise journal.

Breakfast: 1 medium banana(110), 1 ½ tbs wheat germ (37), 1 tsp honey(30) 1 tbs p. butter (90), 3/4 c. cereal (90),1 coffee (50) = 407

Snack: 1 orange (80), 1 ½ graham crackers (65)= 145

Lunch: Lean Cuisine spring roll (310), 2 c. lettuce (10), 1 tomato (10), 1 jello (10) =340

Dinner: 1 ww bread (35), 1 tbs peanut butter (90),, 1 ff blueberry yogurt (60), 1 c. ff milk (90), 1 medium frozen banana (110), ice cubes = 330

Total calories for the day : 1407

Exercise.: morn= 38 min walk on treadmill, 2% incline, 3.8 mi/hr speed, burning 300 cal.
34 min elliptical and 30 min boot-camp, 500 cal burn = 800 calorie total

Calorie Deficit: 1166 I might have a little dessert around 60 cal to reduce this
 
Today started out slow. I did not sleep well, was up 3-4 times , it was humid and hot... Then 5.30 my alarm went off and I got up and made myself to exercise but did just so-so. I had to be at work early so I only did like 28 min walk on the treadmill instead my 38 min. I only burned like 225 calories, but that's ok because I am planning to do some more tonight, plus I did not have a rest day last week.
DH's birthday is this Sunday, i did not buy any presents for him because he is very particular about his stuff, so i never know what to get him. We usually just discuss it and if there is something he needs during the year, we buy it and call it a Birthday present.
Ok, I have to get back to work.
Everybody have a great day!!
 
So far so good today, I am exited about tomorrow's weigh in.
I am so tired, it is Friday and I feel it all over... LOL
Food was good and as of right now I really want to get my night exercises in, we'll see. Got my turbo jam DVD back, i will probably do that tonight.

Breakfast: 1 c. ff milk (90), 1 ½ c. Special K cereal (180), 1 tbs wheat germ (25), 1 tbs walnuts (50), 1 coffee (50) = 395

I Can Not Believe This. I Lost 3.4 Lbs This Week!!!!

I posted this in the Casper's tread:
"I am in shock!!! :eek::eek::eek:
You won't believe this.
I hopped on the scale this morning, even that I knew I was doing exceptionally good this week I am still scraping myself up from the floor.

It showed : 151.6:eek2:

I lost 3.4 lbs this week. I thought I could never ever do that. My highest lost to date is 2 lb/week and I was killing myself.
I did have TOM last Saturdays which could have been modifying my weigh in. That's the only explanation I can think of."

Well, I am as happy as they come. And the new challenge for this week is a piece cake for me as I am already doing about 1 hr -1.30 exercise every day.
Psst: If I keep going as I have been through this challenge I will reach my goal weight by Halloween!! I don't count on it, but it surely seems a possibility right now.
WOW, I lost 8.4 lbs this month. DH is as shocked as I am .
And I have not done anything different this week then other weeks. Watching my food, doing my exercises. That's it.
Ok, I have to go now, I will be checking in later.
 
Dang girl that is totally awesome! I can't believe your body is letting go of that much at one time! Especially since you are so close to goal.

My body would be fighting every single pound!

WTG!!!!:jump:

Thanks Yarmiah and SweatPea.
I am a little suspicious as of yet, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I am jumping off the walls, as I was so ready for a slow down in weight loss, that it is really a huge surprise. Just look, I probably won't lose anything this week. LOL
Hopefully it is not my scale. :) Should get hubby on there to check for accuracy.
 
Saturday

We went to Great Barrington ,MA today for a “family day”. DD behaved herself for the most part but around 1 pm she just needed to take a nap. Hubby wanted to check out antique shops and some crystal stores. We strolled up and down on main street and went into stores that looked interesting. Ended up not buying a thing. Planned to eat in at Thai restaurant. I ordered a platter with a bunch of steamed veggies and fried tofu (that was not so healthy LOL), and asked for the peanut sauce to be on the side. Only ate a little bit of rice, all the veggies and dunked the tofu lightly to the sauce. Had two small veggie rolls for appetizers’, no sauce . Did my best in fitday to add up the calories and it came out to be 662. I am not sure how accurate that is but I have to go with that.
Still have some calories to spare for today and no exercise as I thought I make this a rest day.

Breakfast: 2 frozen waffles (160), 1 tbs walnuts (50), ½ peach (35), 1 ff vanilla yogurt (60) 1 coffee (50) = 365

Snack: 1 medium apple (80), 1 peach (70) = 150

Lunch: Thai lunch, fried tofu, 1/3 c. rice, 1.5 c steamed broccoli, ½ c. zucchini ½ c. green beans, 2 small egg rolls, 1 tbs peanut sauce = 662

Snack: none

Dinner: 1 homemade blueberry muffin (158), 1 ff blueberry yogurt (60) = 218

Dessert: none

Total calories for the day : 1395 w/o dinner

Exercise.: rest day

doctor's appt.

I had a regular visit with a new doctor today due to my insurance changing and my old doctor not taking the new insurance.
Everything is perfect and we were talking about weight loss as well. She whipped out a BMI index ( i thought here we go) but her practice does not go by the chart we all know too well. She told me as long as I am under the BMI of 27 ( which is 157 lbs for me ) she considers that as healthy weight and not overweight by any means.
So I am good to go, clean bill of health.

Will update my exercise and food tonight.
 
Great Tuesday

:eek2: Oh my way to go on all those temptaition,I wouldn't have known which desert to nosedive in 1st lol! Have a gr8 day Tammy
 
Hey Tammy, thanks for visiting. I keep in mind that those desserts will not be off-limits forever just until I reach my goal and then I can have them in moderation... That helps.
So I am holding steady at 152. for 4 days now. Even that my routine is the same as it was last week. it would be premature to worry about plateau but the thought crossed my mind. My last plateau lasted 4 weeks at 166, about 15 lbs ago. And since I am pretty close to my goal.... I just have to wait it out till SAt. It has happened before that all the way till Thursd. I had not recorded a loss and all of a sudden lost 1.6 lbs overnight. Plus I had a huge loss last week, my body might be "recovering" from that. :)
This weekend is my FIL and BIL birthday party is coming up. Then in November my MIL b.day. December has friends b.days... Hoping to be in maintainance mode by then. :)
Something is "off" with me the last couple of days. Feel like I am going to come down with a cold. Dull headache, sleepy all day long and decreased energy level. hoping it passes soon.
Ok, i have to get to work.
 
OMG Hajni I disappear for little and you turn into skinny minny-LOL great job! You are going to be in maintenance in no time!!I am so proud of you!
