tonight was a night off from the gym... i want to try to get back to my morning routine so i needed tonight to rest so i can get up early tomorrow!

wish me luck!!!! i am hoping i get myself up like i want to be!! hehe

 

[zephyr]

AH! I really want to work out in the morning, but I am so not a morning person I wish I could though so I wouldn't have to worry about getting myself to the gym later. I could just "get it over with" before my day even starts.

I guess it's about adjusting slowly.

 

[M_Marie]

Hey guys how are you!?

I took last night off from the gym and enjoyed some company of friends and some hot wings Rather than drinking beer like id have liked to.... I had waters instead.

Did not get up this morning for the gym... mainly because i didnt get to sleep until 12:30 this morning and that just wasnt going to work for me... way too little amount of sleep for me to try to run on for the workout AND then the rest of the day. I will be heading there this evening so I will check in tonight about my weight and how the work out went!

Thought I'd check out your journal since you replied in mine. Right away I was wondering how in the heck you got 25 pages so fast. Now I know. You are funny, your posts are longer winded than mine are and you are absolutely beautiful. Best of all though, I love your determination and passion for this goal you are trying to achieve for yourself.

I was power reading through your journal so I didn't catch every sentence but I got the jist of it all. It still took me an hour just to power read 25 pages. I am a slow reader. Many of your posts brought back memories of my own journey. I experienced so many of the same things you did. I lost about 35 lbs the first 3 months and then another 12 over the next 2 months so it did happen very fast for me. The last 10 lbs have come sloooowwwwly so it has not been as dramatic as the first 3 months but I did have a very rewarding moment when I finished a sprint triathlon a month ago. I keep giving myself attainable goals and I don't ever want to forget the main lesson learned...this fitness stuff is for life if we want to look and feel like this for life.

A few comments about some of your posts that brought back memories...
To your friend who lost a lot of weight by doing nothing but dieting...Good for her but I highly doubt she looks as good as you do. If she does, good for her again but I guarantee you would kick her ass in any physical activity known to man.
To the friend who thought she was fat because of a number (135 I think it was?)...use the mirror, not the scale. If I simply had to go off the pictures you have posted here, I think you look every bit as good as my wife and you are 10 lbs heavier and 3 inches shorter. So just remember, the math doesn't tell the whole story.
To the "too skinny, don't you eat" comments...I think sometimes people just don't know how to properly give a complement. I have come up with some good comebacks such as, "I'm trying my best; I'm about half way there; I'm not thin, just thinner." Unless they give me a good complement. In which case I simply say, "thank you."

Trust me, if you haven't figured it out yet, you will soon realize the best part is the journey itself. It's like a great movie with parts that make you laugh, parts that piss you off and parts that make you cry. When you finally do reach your goal you feel absolutely triumphant but almost sad in a way. I guess we just have to set goals in other areas of our life or do what I am trying to do and get into some sort of competition and work hard at simply improving.

Anyway, hopefully we will get to see some 129 photos real soon.

You have done an outstanding job and you look fabulous, WLF poster girl.

WOW. Thank you so much. You guys are so freakin nice here on this forum!!! Ive never had so many compliments in my LIFE!!!!!! thank you so much derrick... this totally made my day!!!

I was power reading through your journal so I didn't catch every sentence but I got the jist of it all. It still took me an hour just to power read 25 pages. I am a slow reader.

AND- i am FLATTERED that you read or skimmed my WHOLE DIARY!

I don't ever want to forget the main lesson learned...this fitness stuff is for life if we want to look and feel like this for life.

absolutely. so many people ask when i am going to call it quits and feel like i got where i wanted to go.... i dont plan to ever stop... after i reach 120.... im going to reach for my next goal... whether it be weightloss, muscle toning, or maybe times it takes to run distances and what not. I only get one body... i wanna make it healthy!!!

Right... i am bad at taking compliments as it is... esp when they start out... DID YOU LOSE WEIGHT??? its like... uhhhh welll... a little......

i suck at it haha

Hey there everyone ! Last evening I went to the gym for a little over an hour. I ran two miles and then I got on the cybex machine and burned 345 calories in 30 minutes. It was a nice work out… I was nice and sweaty so it did the trick! I didn’t lift because the plan was to lift hard this morning… yeah I didn’t get up.

So this evening I will be hitting the gym pretty hard and making sure that I get a good work out in and finish off the work week of exercise strong!!! ?

Food Yesterday:
Breakfast:
1 Coffee cream and Splenda
Cheerios w/ skim milk

Lunch
1 Can of Greenbeans
Lite Applesauce made with splenda instead of sugar

Snack- Chips and salsa, hot decaf coffee

Dinner
BIG SALAD!!! Soooo good.
Grilled portabella mushroom, little bit of steak, sundried tomatoes, pecans, almonds, feta cheese, and cucumbers.
( lite Gazebo room dressing)
Dessert/snack
Small piece of shortcake with fresh strawberries, little bit of 2% milk, splenda, fat free cool whip.

Ugh… SO GOOD hehe


Today so far I had my normal breakfast of cheerios with skim milk and a coffee with cream and splenda. For lunch, I went to the mall and actually had some Japanese cuisine hehe. It was just white rice with steamed veggies and TOFU!!! I never had it before and actually very much enjoyed it

Today a coworker told be I looked absolutely stunning so I went in the ladies room and took a picture for reference… maybe if I wanna look stunning again another time… ill wear the outfit I threw on today hehe. I attached my sweet bathroom pictures below hehehe.

YOU LOOK AWESOME...That body girl is amazing...

I forgot about the dumb "have you lost weight?" question. My reply is always the same as yours..."Uh yeah, just a little bit."

I like your idea of maybe trying to improve your running times. Those kinds of challenges and goals can be just as rewarding as getting the body you have always wanted. In some ways, even more so. Those kinds of ideas will keep you motivated and enthusiastic for a long time. If you ever get bored with running, try something new that you have always wanted to try. You will have a lot of fun that way and probably not get burned out.

It is hard for me to suggest any fault with your diet because you are doing too good right now but I am curious how much "cream" you put in your coffee? I used to fill my cup with 3/4 coffee and 1/4 half & half. I found out just how much saturated fat I was getting. Over half my daily allowance! A dietician recommended I use just a splash of half & half and the rest skim milk. I slowly acquired a taste for it and can't even tell the difference anymore. The other thing I noticed is perhaps you could be getting a little more protein in your diet but I wouldn't worry about it too much because again, you are doing a great job, A+ right now on the results you are seeing.

Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged no matter how stubborn the last few pounds are!

yeah, my morning coffee is always a must, but before i use to load that sucker up with 2-3 coffeemate creamers.... flavored ones.... hazelnut and french vanilla... They are 40 calories each just for the cream so.... i decided to just try one actual CREAMER, and i switch it up everyother day, and then i put one land o lakes mini moo in there which is just 15 calories..... so rather than 80 calories worth of creamer.... i go with 55 and that cuts a good amount out of there! Especially before when i was actually drinking about 3-5 cups a day of coffee.... that adds up!!! now i have 1 cup... SOMETIMES.... two if i really need it haha
saturated fat is 0.5g for the mini moo.... and cant find that for the coffee mate so im not quite sure about that.


as far as protein goes, i do need to find some higher in protein foods... thats partially why i went out on a limb and tried tofu yesterday... and didnt mind it all too much!!! haha.... but yeah... for whatever reason i am not as interested in meat as i once was... and chicken... well i guess thats my main protein these days... that and i have nuts as snacks.

Okay so I was browsing through Kijiji(classified ads) and saw this ad for FREE nutritionist assessment and checked it out. E-mailed katy.horn.8289@gmail.com and then she gave me pointers and a free trial for Acai berry. I REALLY liked what she was offering and decided to pay the $25 for full diet and everything. In the past two weeks I've lost about 16 pounds!
Is this unhealthy good bad or what?
If its good then i recommend you email katy so she can set you up!

Post what you've lose in the first two weeks or what you think about this, thanks!

Ive missed you all hehe

Hey there. Well its been a few days since ive updated this diary so I figured id do that now. I have been SOOO busy the last few days ( the weekend). Friday night I went to the movies and saw The Hangover… let me tell you… funniest movie ive seen in a LONG time! Was really good! Saturday, I surprised my boyfriend and took him to an all day music festival in Philly and we saw The Roots, Tv on the Radio, Public Enemy, Kid Kudi, Sanigold, etc. Was SO MUCH FUN!!!! Yesterday I relaxed a bit, but then went to a local restaurant and sat on the deck enjoying the gorgeous weather by the river…. Good times!


In regards to the weight loss.. I think my body refuses to move to the 120’s. I have been stuck stagnant at 130 for the last 4 days!!! I am ok with it I suppose… since I am not going UP in my weight… but all I wanna do is have a party because I am in the 120’s!!!! PLUS my boy owes me a red lobster dinner once I hit 125!!!!! And I am CRAVING some scallops!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe.

Let loose a tiny bit since it was the weekend on the food intake. Did well most of the time but I did sneak in 3 beers and some pizza through out the weekend hehe. Gotta live kids… gotta live! So I savored every moment of that…. But now its Monday and its back to the “diet”.

This morning was a little rough emotionally….. My great grandmother started to go down hill last night… she is unresponsive and on oxygen….. shes not doing well. And… while I was not close to the woman at all through out her life…. She is the mother of my grandfather I lost two months ago this past Friday. Its just tough on my nanny…. And then its tough for my mom and I because she is our last link to my grandfather.

Anyways, she is better off really… the woman had very advanced Alzheimer’s… and pretty much lived in a chair the last 4 years of her life…. Maybe she will run in fields of flowers now…. Go in peace Betty… Go in Peace.

Listen people… this is MY WEEK. I want to lose 2 lbs this week….. think I can do it!??!!??!?! Cheer me on!!! Hehe.


Love and all dat good stuff!!!

 

[Derrick]

Well I don't know if you can lose 2 lbs in one week anymore at this point but who knows?!? You just might be able to. The important thing is to continue to work hard at the gym and be very good with your diet. Do your best and we will all be proud...and you will too.
