I am beautiful (and I will be even more beautiful)!

today was good, except my gramma died. So that wasn't so good, but it was good as far as my diet and exercise went. I ate about 1500 calories, possibly a couple hundred more, and felt really good at the gym today. Exams start tomorrow so I'm going to try to be really healthy. I might not get to workout as much as I would like, but I'll do what I can. I bought a whole bunch of raw nuts at the grocery store plus raisins and cranberries(they had sugar added :( ). I mixed them all together and I'm going to eat a couple handfuls a day for more protein, good fat, and calories. Yay! Going to call my boyfriend and go to bed. I'm happy with today, overall. Thats what I wanted. Good job me!
 
Alright, I think I'm on my way back out of this eating craziness I've been in for the past few days. Today was a little bit better. Gotta go study.
 
School is closed today cuz of all the snow, which means the gym is closed too, which means I have to be very careful with what I eat cuz I can't burn it off. So i'm going to try for under 1500. Alright, got my goals, this is going to be a good day.
 
Well today was okay. I took a really hard test, and I had a headache the whole time. The test was on cadaveurs, and the chemicals they use to preserve the bodies smell really strong, so I thought that might have been what was causing it. But now its worse and I feel like I'm going to throw up too. I only got half a workout in today. I ate okay, but I didn't do very well with keeping track of my calories. It was probably around 2000. Hoping the scale is lower tomorrow.
 
I spent the whole night throwing up last night, so the scale said 136, but I'm sure it's gone back up since I've eaten. I'm still not feeling very well so I'm not going to make it to the gym tonight, but I have a lot of studying to do anyway, so its probably good not to go.
 
i want that elusive 135 so badly. I get almost there and then my weight starts to creep back up again. So I bring it back down, get close, and the cycle repeats itself all over. I am determined to get to 135 before I leave for break (that's friday, the 14th). I know its just a number but it gives me something to really strive for.

Finally got to go to the gym today after having spent the past couple days not feeling well. It felt good to move again, but I think I'm not completely better because I also felt tired and weak. I'm glad I went though. I've eaten too much already. Now I'll have to be careful what I eat the rest of the day.

p.s. I would love it if someone would just be there for me to talk to, maybe we could compare and share our day to day challenges and goals. I don't know if anyone even reads this diary, but I thought I'd ask.

I would love to do that. I've been so busy with school lately that I haven't had much time for anything else, but now I have 3 weeks off. I'm going home for those 3 weeks (I'm packing right now actually) so it's going to be challanging. I really would like someone to talk to though bc nobody I know wants to hear me talk about getting in shape.

Well I gotta go finish packing. My goal is to leave by 1 pm. It's a 2.5 hour drive, and I have to work at 5 tonight so I better get a move on!

Have a great day :)
 
Hey gymchica!
Thanks for replying. I know I can get to 135 too! I'm doing really well today so far, but I still don't feel very good about myself. I know I'll feel better once I reach that goal. Then I'll only have 10 pounds to go! What are your plans for weight loss while you're home? I go home next Friday. I'm nervous because I usually don't do anything during breaks. This time I'm hoping to go to the gym though, because my boyfriend has a membership to a gym, and he gets guest passes! My goal is to lose just 2 pounds in the month that I'm home. I think thats doable.
 

hey good luck with our weightloss while ure home. your goals are pretty doable. i love it that uve spread them out. my goal is pretty much da same.

i am 5'6'' and goal is bout 130 (i have bid heavy bones-not cool)

when i get there i wana c how much further i want to go.

ryt now any little helps.

I can't wait for the hols. i live at home and commute to uni everyday. i've got a home gym (VERY LUCKY) i've collected all this equipment over the years so now its going to cum in use. I've got 4 weeks hol and am hoping to lose about 4 pounds.

good luck with ure goals.I'm sure u can do it. don't let the odd bad days bother u. they are what make the good days worthwhile. heh

keep us updated

My plans are to get a month membership at this new gym that just opened by my house. Hopefully it won't cost too much! I'm also going to try my best to eat healthy the entire break. I'm hoping it won't be too hard. We have a lot of unhealthy food at my house where as at my apartment I don't have any. I'm confident though.

One thing that will actually be easier at home is NOT drinking alcohol. It's probably the biggest barrier that holds me back from losing weight. My friends at school drink all the time so it's hard to avoid. Also I don't want to be lame my LAST year at school. At home I rarely drink because I always have to drive everywhere.

I think my goal is to lose 2 lbs over break as well. We can do it!! :)
 
Yes we can do it! Angel, I'm jealous you have a home gym. That's so convenient. And with it sitting there, I would feel bad if I didn't use it. We are similar. I think I have pretty big bones too, but I'm not quite 5'6". But I am definitely taller than 5'5". Maybe thats where that extra 5 pounds comes in. Although I've never weighed that little since I got this tall. I don't really know where I got that number from, it just seemed good to me.

Gymchica: be careful with the junkfood. I don't know how you are, but I have to have none at all, or I will eat too much of it. Find something that works for you to get your mind off it, or physically get away from it, if you feel a craving.

Today was really good for me. I had a really big breakfast, but then I was really careful for the rest of the day, so I think I still only had around 1600 calories. My workout wasn't great, but I did take a nice half hour walk around campus, so that will help, I'm sure.

Do you guys ever reward yourselves for making your goals. I already have planned to go shopping with some of my friends after our last exam on Thursday. I want to say, like, I can get a new outfit if I get to 134 (I think thats doable). And if I don't make it, then I don't. Do you think thats a good idea.

Ok, I gotta go to bed. I didn't do as much studying as I should have today, so I gotta get up early-ish to do it tomorrow. Goodnight. Thanks for writing. And goodluck with your own goals.

Well, I was 135.5 this morning. I'd really like to get rid of that little .5 at the end, but atleast its going in the right direction. It's just going soooo slowly. It's a little frustrating, but I'm just going to keep at it. Today will be easy. I have so much studying to do, I'll have little time for much else. I will go to the gym at some point though, to get a break. Ok, going to shower then to the cafeteria for breakfast. Ewww.
 
So sad, 136.5 this morning. I thought for sure I would make 135. But all I did yesterday was sit and study so I guess that doesn't burn too many calories. I'm going to the gym right after my exam this morning cuz I wouldn't want to do anything productive right away anyway, so I figure thats a good time to go, and not feel guilty about not studying. I'll have to watch what I eat in the next few days since I'm not going to be as active. Anybody know anything about body types? My boyfriend says I'm a mesomorph. Is that an accurate way of figuring out what to eat and how to workout?
 
I just got the pants that I ordered. I love them! I tried them on, and they ALMOST fit! Wow, what a good motivator. I can't wait to fit into them. Yay!

Aww don't worry too much about the scale...that's why I don't like weighing myself every day. There are so many factors that cause weight to fluctuate daily. Trust me...there is no way you gained a pound in 1 day. Just keep watching what you are eating and being as active as possible and you will get under 135 in no time.

I don't really know anything about body types, but my guess is that it is definitely NOT an accurate way to figure out what to eat and how to workout.

And that is VERY exciting about the pants you ordered. I bet in a couple weeks they will fit PERFECTLY :)

As for me, I've been doing alright. I've been feeling a little discouraged lately and fat, but I'm trying to not let it affect me and to just keep going. I've been doing really well since my splurging (Thurs and Fri) so as long as I stay motivated to continue doing well, I should be fine.
 
Yes you will be fine. I had a couple days like that last week sometime. It doesn't feel good at all, but you will get through it. I understand completely though, cuz I've been so inactive cuz of all the studying I've been doing. I haven't really changed that much, but I just feel so fat. I know I shouldn't focus on the scale. I don't usually let it get me down too much, I just need to use it as a way to measure my progress. My weight loss has slowed down sooo much over the past couple weeks. I guess thats because I'm getting close to where I should be? I know I can do it!
 
134.5 this morning!!!!!!!! Finally! I'm so happy! Maybe I'll even be 134 tomorrow?! My test went really badly this morning. I think I failed (not joking). But I went to the gym afterwards, and I felt like at least that was one thing I can control. I can control how much I workout and how much I eat, and therefore control if I lose weight or not. Even if I study ALL DAY long and still bomb my final, at least there is something in my life I have control over. In the long run, being healthy is much more important than a grade I got on one test. I'm still going to pass, I'm still going to graduate, and when I'm a doctor, my patients will look at me as a role model because I'll be in shape and healthy. I can do this! Better go start studying for the next one.
 
Well DOnE!!!!

that is soooo great!!!! ure nearly der. less then 10 to go now!!!

and lyk u sed dont wurry bout the exams dat hav gone.
