Imaninjadangit's Weight loss Spectacular!

I'm so exhausted today. I woke up at 8am yesterday, went to sleep for two hours in the evening, worked midnight to 8:30am, then came home. It's 4pm and I'm still awake. I'm debating on whether or not to do Dance Central. I was going to take tomorrow and Sunday off of the workout, but I may take today and tomorrow instead. I figure I can work out Sun-Thursday and be fine.
I walked to work last night. I could have gotten a ride, but I decided against it. It's 1/2 mile to work, so I ended up walking a mile. I can take my car tonight, but I probably won't....if it doesn't rain. I can get in another mile, so it should be all gravy.
I hate my eating schedule on these days. I won't weigh in until tomorrow night. My boyfriend is off work tomorrow, so I can sleep the day away. My son is coming up on June 9th...:hurray::hurray::hurray:....so, I'll be able to sleep during the morning again. He's 10, and is awesome with his sister.

As I walked home this morning, I kept thinking about how awesome I feel and how excited I am to get thin. I just keep imagining myself in all of the cute clothes that have come out in the last 10 years that I couldn't fit into. I can't wait to be able to live my life. I feel trapped in this body. Well, I've felt trapped. I'm getting more and more confident each day. When I was going over my video yesterday, I actually thought I was pretty. I haven't thought that in....ever. I took update pictures last night, and I liked them. It's just so weird.

Well...time to eat my salad and wait to pass out! :chillpill:
 
You're doing so well. I want to say something but can't think of any suggestions or anything like that, so I'm just going to stick to the cheerleading in the background.
 
Thank you! I feel the same way when reading diaries where people are doing well. The congratulations go a long way, though! :)

One more pound gone! One more pound and I will have lost 25lbs since May 1st. It's insane!
We bought subway tonight. I love their roasted chicken on flatbread. I opted for no cheese....which is huge! I realized that you can't really taste the cheese, so why get it? I got a sweet tea...but only room a couple of sips. I'm not use to sugar anymore, so it was kind of nasty. I gave to the bf and drank my water. I also got sunchips, but was full from the sandwich, so I'm saving those for later. It's so weird to make choices like that.
While my bf was getting the food, I played Dance Central. I love the sweat I work up from it. I was going to wait until tomorrow to do it, but I couldn't stay away! Lol
Tonight, I'm wearing my St. Louis Cardinals shirt. It's a 2x, and has always been snug. Now, it feels like a tent! That's from only losing 25lbs! I can't imagine 100! A friend at work said that he notices a big difference. That felt awesome.
I measured myself tonight. Wow. I've lost an inch on my arms, thighs, waist and stomach. My whole body lost an inch! That's huge! My pants still fit, but they were tight before. Now, I don't have to unbutton them to put them on!

I bought myself an early birthday present this morning. A webcam. :) I also have a video editing program. I will have quality YouTube videos from now on! Yay!

I can't imagine going back, now. I can't imagine starting my old habits up again. I am so deep into my new lifestyle, and I love it! It makes me sick to think of everything I use to eat and drink. I am just so excited to keep getting healthier!

"Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est."
 
Congrats on the no cheese! That is awesome :) Its the little achievements that make up to one massive achievement at the end of the day! :D Also congrats on losing an inch all round, that is amazing! I can't wait til I find my measuring tape and I can start measuring myself!

You sound super motivated and positive. Keep up the awesome work hun! You're an inspiration to me :)
 
Aw, thank you. :)
I agree...the little things are great. They eventually add up to a big payoff.

I know I've only lost 25lbs, and I still have so far to go...but I feel so skinny already.

"Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est."
 
WAIT WHAT. 25lbs since May 1st? As in less than a month ago? Holy shit. I want what you have. You're an inspiration.
 
OMG! Im so jealous hahaha!
Welldone though seriously, I can't wait until you achieve your goal set, you deserve it and I know you can do it!
:hurray::hurray:
xox
 
Hi :) :) :)
Well, I don't want to sound like a stalker, but I just read your whole diary, from start to finish. What an incredible journey! It is so inspirational to read your last post, to see how excited you are with your own progress (which you should be! How incredible!) and to see how much happier you seem.

HUGE congrats, and keep up the good work! Can't wait to keep reading... x
 
Thank you, guys. :blush5: I have gotten so much negativity thrown at me throughout my life, that I honestly don't know how to accept positive feedback. Just know that everything you guys have said has really made me happy, and I appreciate every word of it. :)

And yeah...I was 288 at the end of March, went up and down between 287 and 290 until May 4th. I say May 1st, because it's a better jumping off point. May 4th is the last time I had a soda. I was sitting with my bf's family, eating lunch for his birthday, and just decided to do it. His family is pretty large. Not the amount of people...the actual size of them. They are all incredibly good people, but they talk about food and nothing else. The whole time we were at lunch, they talked about different restaurants, recipes, etc. Never anything else. I realized that I didn't want to end up like that. I love food. OMG I love food. I almost went to culinary school, because I found I'm actually talented in the kitchen. I don't want my life revolving around it, though. Until I lose the wait, it kind of has to for a little while. When it's gone, though, I won't focus on it. I will have trained myself in the fine art of portion control, and won't need to dwell on every little detail.
Anyway...288 on May 4th. The first 10 pounds was probably water weight, and my body crying from lack of junk food. The rest has been hard work. I love every minute of it, though. :D
 
SO...I weighed in tonight and didn't make my 25lbs lost milestone.
I made 26!! :willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:
I lost 2lbs yesterday! YAY!!

Yes, I'm eating. In fact, I have to add extra food to make my 1500 mark. So, I'm not starving myself. I'm doing it with no pills and no starvation. Just the right mindset and the right foods. So...YAY!!!
 
Damn Robyn!! I just got back from my trip, finally with a regular keyboard, great to make my first comment back on your diary! GREAT STUFF HUN!

Keep up that optimism!!
 
Thank you!!
I'm really not use to getting so much support! I've also never been this determined and confident. :D I just don't want to seem ungrateful. All of you have helped me so much! I am so glad I found you!

I got off work at 8 this morning, and realized I still had 600 calories to eat. lol I ate a chimchanga. I know...not the best, but it has beans...protein! lol I really never eat anything with a lot of fat, so I'm not worried about it. It was 300 calories. I can't believe that my boyfriend eats 3 at a time! That's 900 calories!! :svengo:
After I ate, I did my Dance Central workout. Wow...I'm sweating. I was actually gasping for breath once! It tracks my movement, so it tells me how many calories I'm burning....roughly. I usually keep working out until I hit around 125. I walk so much at work, and try to stay active the rest of my day, that I really don't need that much more at the moment. Of course, with that 125, I guess I'm still 425 off of my calories for the day. Eek! :eek: This can just be a low calorie day. Tomorrow, my boyfriend works, so I'll have a longer day than today. I'll just eat my 1600 tomorrow, instead of 1400. It's all good.

I'm going back to my home town for my birthday. I haven't been there since March, when I weighed 288. By the time I go, I should be down to 258. I know it's only 30 pounds, but people here are seeing the difference. I know that my family will notice! Oh, and if I CAN get to 258 by June 8th....that would be 30lbs by my 30th birthday. lol I'm such a geek. I'm going to be good on my birthday. I'm going to have tasty things, but fit them into my calories. Also....no soda. Honestly, soda doesn't even sound appealing. How funny is that? Soda was always my road block. This time, I didn't even flinch when I gave it up. So weird.

Well...time for bed! Have a great day, everyone!
 
hey Robyn! So how long do you do dance central for? What exactly is that? I've seen the commericals for it, it works with the Kinect system for the PS3? or XBOX?

I'm sure you're all on your feet working with those children! You can never stay still working with kids! LOL!

4 pounds in almost 8 days? I think you can do it!! Keep it up!!

You know what's so great about that chimichanga? I bet you "reseted" your body, i call it a refeed, where you doing REALLY well, eating low cal and healthy, then you eat something that is a splurge, your body reacts and causes a boost in metabolism, or something! and the pounds will drop drop drop!
 
Great job on your weight loss so far! You are really determined, and it shows. Thats 80% of weight loss in my opinion. Great work!

Also kudos for dropping soda. It really makes a difference.

Keep it up! :smash:
