I didn't eat a lot because we were stuck at my mom's business, where I went on a walk, so I came home and just cut apples, wah lah, came upstairs, took a bath and here I am writing this post.

I will walk home, gotta do a 45min run tonight.

Had a great time on Saturday just talking and laughing with the girls. I'm so....happy.

BTW, going to bed starving is not the business. I slept horribly as well. Eugh, definitely taking a tablet of Advil PM tonight. Got an interview tomorrow!

I came home right now and crashed on my bed. Eugh, I don't know about a run anymore...I slept horribly last night, so can I just go to sleep? yeah?

I weighed in at 199 tonight, even with drinking approximately 7 cups of water at work, so I made dinner. Ate a second bowl of the korean soup I made, so yummy when it is fresh, but gosh it did burn my tongue!

We have apple juice in the fridge and frozen berries, I want to venture into making fruit smoothies in the morning. It isn't warm enough for that, but I think I need to eat filling breakfasts to set me for the rest of the day.

I ate a bit for lunch today so I can hopefully have some energy for some hopeful exercise. I am walking home, but to get on the treadmill tonight might take some serious coaxing. Seriously =/.

I feel like since I weighed 197 twice this is a comfortable weight for my body, so I need to shock it with some exercise.

31- 196
1- 194
2- 193

I'd like to see 193 this Saturday AM before the weekend of superbowl festivities begin.

Last night, I went to bed with energy. Sure makes a difference when you eat a little bit. I still lost some weight without exercising.

I can't make any more promises here. I say I'm going to do something and I do the exact opposite.

I'll let my actions speak before my words. Yeah, that's how it has to go. I do feel skinnier, I can't wait to see 189 eventually like Feb 9?

Two weeks ago, all time low was 195.4, two days ago, had to lose all the weight I gained to get down to 195.6, now this week, once again, I have to work to get down to 195.

I need a new all time low and keep moving.

+ Ate a salad at home (basically a taco salad, no cheese, but the 5 layer dip had guac, beans, cheese, sour cream, salsa) still, a salad.
+ I felt good while on the treadmill. I felt like I was pumping my body with positive endorphins like the gradual high when you're drinking at the bar, (before the peak and the downhill) I feel my hamstrings and quads twitching as I type this. Now I want to take a shower, clean my room and bathroom.

Weigh-in: 198.0

Feels good when nothing hurts while running. Decided to pass on exercise when I got home. It's already 1015pm! I weighed in at 198.6 tonight, so I'm not too worried.

it's way too chilly to go for a bike ride. The weather is suppose to get chiller as the week goes on.

Gotta A) GO TO CYCLING ON THURS and B) be good this weekend to get under 194!!!!
2/9: 192
2/14: 189
2/28: 181

Positives
* SALADS for Breakfast and Lunch?! Also, I found out that 2tbsp of the trader joe's 5 layer bean dip is 35cal, but I'm sure I've overestimated my tbsp sizes, so I do eat about 100cal of the 5 layer bean dip. It makes me feel sooo satisfied having something creamy! (from the sour cream and beans)
* I ate the apple as a snack, and damn was it crispy and delicious!
* TWO BMs?!?! First one was healthy and large, second one was not so pretty. Get the gunk out.
* Bought 3 bags of salad because we were running low. I usually throw away salad bags, but this time, I won't.
* Mexican salads are the only way I'll eat my greens. Yeah, you heard me right.

Weigh-In goal:: <189 by February 15.

So proud that I went drive thru and made smart choices that were also budget friendly....the dollar menu ain't that bad. Sipping on some black coffee to stay alert in my training.

I did bring my gym clothes so working out is going to happen.

I didn't wake up hungry. yay. I did drink a big cup of water before going to bed, so it's always nice to get a long stream out at the top of the mornin'. hehehehe

I got training for work today, sitting in a conference room for 6 hours. Then begging myself to go to the gym.

Got a 5AM shift tomorrow and a 5 day work week, then ahh, days off.

I feel a bit bloated today, wouldn't be surprised if I gained a bit of weight tomorrow, so I'm not going to weigh myself tomorrow AM, anyways I gotta get up for work at 3:45AM. How false would that be?!

Food
Breakfast: 1 huge veggie slice, 400cal
Lunch: 1 mozarella sandwich, 400cal, 8 cups of water
Meal @ 2pm: 3 cups of korean soup made from beef stock, 1/2 egg, 4 chicken wings, 500cal
Calories: 1,300, 13 cups of water


I think I slept 4 hours total last night. Worse night of sleep night before these Damn shifts. I am drinking water like a fish. Prep for yoga.
Thinking I'll do Yoga especially if I can drink 12 cups of water at work. Yoga at 4:30 sounds great! Edges things out so I can possibly see 192 on Monday AM.

Meal @ 2pm was so warm, it was brothy with bits of shredded egg, and heated up the leftover mini chicken wings from last night! My belly is so full; I tried to sleep straight from work, but my stomach was empty and I was hungry! Hunger pains suck!

I feel good that my belly is fluidy full! bloated full!

I haven't pooed after eating so many grains, kinda disappointed. But oh well, especially after drinking 13 cups of water. I didn't workout today, so I don't expect to see 192 tomorrow morning.

BM:2 + the runs, what gives? I'm not going to worry, but think of it as a sudden increase in fiber...
Weigh-In: 194.6

Food
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 150cal
Snack: 1 whole bell pepper sliced (orange and yellow), 2 tbsp hummus, 100cal
Lunch: 1/2 cup black beans (GAWD THIS IS BLAND), 1 apple, 1tbsp sourcream, 250cal
Snack: 1 clementines, 30cal
Dinner: 2 fish tacos: corn tortilla, 10oz white fish, 2tbsp sour cream spinach dip, cilantro, lettuce, 350cal
Dessert: 1/2 chocolate cookie, 1 cup almond breeze, 150cal
Calories: 1,030, 7 cups of water

Exercise
Walked home and then took the dogs for a quick walk, so really like a 20min walk.

Tell me why I started getting the runs after lunch! I went to the bathroom 3 times! I'd drink water, then bathroom, then more water, then bathroom. The first BM was great, second one was a bit eh, but then things got bad. I usually have episodes like this AFTER i eat unhealthy fatty foods. What could've it been? It was probably the korean soup yesterday with brothy beefy intestines. eugh!

Perspectives...


Last Monday, after the superbowl fiasco and the family reunion, I weighed in at 201, then this morning I weighed in 194.6 (yes, not 192, but i'm not disappointed) My point is: last week was successful, even with making the positive choices in drive thru. I didn't feel hungry while eating salads for dinner and lunch. I can continue it and even include more veggies this week. I am going downstairs to chop up some bell peppers and cucumbers to snack on at work.

You guys, I lost 6.4 pounds in one week, huge influx of weight because of last weekend's let go, but I'm treading down the right path and I'm excited. No longer do I want to see 195. 194.8...194.2...194.6? I believe that is steady. I've finally realized not to be afraid to drink water because water will flush everything out. A pound of water comes in, possible that 1.2lb is urinated. That .2!

My goal by February 26 is 182, 25 pounds in the first two months of weight loss is what I want to accomplish. Then, 8-10 pound losses/month.
