I've been meaning to post in here but have felt a little intimidated. I think you're beautiful and looking at your thread and pictures has given me real hope that I can be the person I want to be on the outside, as well as the inside.

Anyway, just wanted to say rock on and that you're awesome.

Aw, you are so sweet! Thank you so much :beating: You should not feel intimidated either! I keep up with your diary, even if I don't really post, I'm here :waving: Let me know if you need anything!

Tonight is just a write off. I'm not going to weigh in tomorrow because I sort of caved in tonight at dinner and the movie. I'd rather get back on track tomorrow and weigh in Saturday morning. I don't want to get down on myself if in the morning if my weight is up... because I wanted to enjoy my time tonight and relax a little about my diet when I was out with my boyfriend... he hasn't taken me out in forever (he's been laid off) so he FINALLY had the chance to treat me. I took advantage of that for sure!

No regrets, just moving on.

Goodnight,
~ Sarah
 
Thanks guys...

still feeling crappy. But a little better now. This morning I did level 1 of the 30 Day Shred before work. Then I worked all day and it was actually exhausting - so busy. Got home around 7:30PM and decided to run. Here is what I did:

1 mile run @ 6.5 mph
1 mile intervals (1 min walk @ 3.7 mph / 1 min run @ 6.5 mph)
1 mile run @ 6.3 mph
1 mile intervals (1 min walk @ 3.7 mph / 1 min run @ 6.5 mph)
1/2 mile run @ 6.1 mph
1/2 mile run @ 6.5 mph
= 5 miles, then I walked it out to 5.3 miles.

Today was alright for eating,

Breakfast - Oatmeal (120 cal), coffee (50 cal)
Snack - Clementine (30 cal), granola bar (90 cal), 4 gummy candies (40 cal)
Lunch - PB sandwich (240 cal), string cheese (90 cal), apple (80 cal) kettle cooked chips (160 cal)
Snack - 1 twix bar (140 cal) grrrrr and handful of cheetos (100? cal)
Dinner - Special K cereal w/skim milk (165 cal)
= 1,305

Stayed within my calories, that's good. Drank a lot of water, that's good too. But I just want to eat junk!!:willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

I'm weighing in for real tomorrow... so I'll check back then....

Congrats on your progress; you really are an inspiration, and I'm so impressed with how constant your motivation is! Well done, you look fantastic!
 
Hmph.

136.0 - that's +0.8 from last week. Well, you know what, life happens and I can't expect everything to go the way I want it to always. It's not a HUGE difference and certainly nothing to be upset about because I KNOW I didn't work as hard as I did last week, but it still bums me out.

At least I'm not as bloated today. I feel better, and I think I look better too. Guess that's what really matters!

No work out today, and I don't plan to later. I had a great workout last night before bed so I'm not going to feel bad about taking the day off. Tomorrow, it's back to it and I know what I need to do now. No excuses!

That's quite impressive. How long did it take you?

Impressive... just the thought makes me want to throw up ;) You Rock Sarah!!!!!
 
So, I definitely posted a new entry last night before bed and it's not on here!?! WTF! Oh well. Here we go again... (it wasn't long anyway).

The weekend is over (THANK GOD) and it was not good at all. No workout on Saturday OR Sunday! That's probably why I threw all cares away as far as the eating goes. But I'm glad today is Monday and I have a fresh start. I have set myself some goals for the week as this helps me stay on track a little better!

1) Limit calories to 1,400/day.
2) Drink 50 oz. of water at the very least every day.
3) Run every day - even if it's just a mile.
4) No alcohol until Saturday (friends will be visiting).
5) No snacking after 7PM.

OK, here we go!:smash:

Wow, thats strict!! I wish I had your dedication, good on ya! :D x
 
So looks like some good and some bad to write about while I was away - even though there was some bad I think you did awesome! It is time to get serious again - I am going to start tracking again too because I find that really helps! I like the goal to run everyday - even if it's just a mile - I am going to add that to my list as well.
:waving: so happy to be home and get some motivation from you again! I'm in need for sure and will hopefully motivate you too!! Missed you while I was away but now it's time to kick butt!! I can't wait to drop some pounds this week!!
 
Just real quick here, yesterday was good up until I decided to NOT go to bed (even though I was tired) and stay up with my friends and eat e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g I could get my hands on! Well not EVERYTHING but it seemed like it. First I had peanut butter on a rice cake. Then I had a 10 cal JellO cup. Not bad. Then I started eating almonds out of the bag. Then I ate oatmeal. Then I ate 2 granola bars.

:ack2:

Gosh. And I did SO good during the day. I ran 2 miles around the track in the morning and did my abs workout (short workout, but I still was moving!) and my calories came up to 1,350 so I'm really disappointed that I had that little episode last night.

I'm back to it today though and planned out everything that I'm eating today. So far I have followed it exactly. I'm going to take a quick nap then I'm going to the gym to take 2 classes - one is called "core complete" which is a 15 minute abs workout. Following that I'm taking an hour long step class - which is a REALLY good workout (I took some step classes at my old campus last year). I will probably run a mile before the abs class to get my run in for the day and to warm up! :)

I'll check back later and catch up with the other journals - I just wanna get this nap in before I gotta head to the gym.

Wow an hour of step aerobics would probably kill me!! I do 20 minutes in this 20-20-20 class I take and after the 20 minutes I am soaked in sweat! You will definetly burn off those snacks you had last night! It seems like a lot but if you were to have pizza or chips and dip I bet it would be way less food and double the calories so at least you made good choices!!
Have a good work out! Stick to your plan today!

I guess I can look on the bright side - the things I DID eat where things I would eat normally for my diet. I just didn't need to add all the extra calories :( AND I SLEPT TOO LONG!!!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead: And now I'm more tired than I was BEFORE I took a nap!!! GRRR. I still want to work out tonight but right now I'm not sure as I can barely keep my eyes open now. See what happens when I DON'T get my ass out of bed at 6 AM every morning? I'm just glad that I'm still sticking to my good diet today!
 
hey!
You can do it! :)
Having a snack thing like you did (eating what is near you happens from time to time unfrotunatly, but at least those were healthy things and not fast food.)
Keep up the good work!
:hug2:

Thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate it. Sometimes it's hard to look on the bright side of everything, but I'm glad there are people like you to help me see it :)

Ok, here is my food log for today:

Breakfast - Oatmeal (160 cal)
Snack - 1 oz almonds (160 cal)
Lunch - Ham sandwich (215 cal), yogurt (90 cal)
Snack - Apple w/1 tbsp peanut butter (180 cal)
Dinner - Sweet and sour chicken - 1/2 cup brown rice, 2 oz chicken, 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, 2 tbsp sweet and sour sauce (350 cal)
Snack - 1 cup skim milk (90 cal)
= 1,245 calories

The only goals I have met today are staying within 1,400 calories, not eating after 7PM, and not drinking. But I didn't get to the most important - running and drinking 50 oz water. UGH! Well I have my weight training class in the morning so I can get my run in then, and the core complete and step class are offered tomorrow. I will leave right from class and go to them :) NO NAPS! Naps in the middle of the day are evil!:reddevil:

Ok - back to watching the biggest loser. Man, I really dislike the red team!

~ Sarah
 
My workout is: Monday- Chest Tues- back Wedn- delt & shoulders Thurs- tri Friday biceps i exercise every day for 5 minutes up & down the stairs My problem is that i like fried food and i like eating late. Bad combination. I usually do good with my work out program but not my eating habits so i get frustrated and give up all together.Can anyone recommend a good fat blooker, i was going to buy Alli and then i found out people have had liver failure and died from Alli. Is there a safe fat blooker? I heard some where online the Herbalife has a great fat blocker without side effects but i live in a small town with only one nutrition store and being my luck they don't carry Herbalife.
 
Good Morning Sarah!
I really dislike the red team too - I was confused because I thought she admitted the first week to blowing the weigh-in - I was almost positive and now she is denying it all - I guess she realized how bad it would look to everyone watching. I think her husband slacked this week in her place but no one really seemed to notice. They are for sure playing the game and have their eye on the prize.
Good food log yesterday - I have been really bad with keeping to my goals this week - all I can do is try harder and not give up! Water, water, water!
