It Starts...

Hey, MissD. What did the doctor say about the dizziness?

That's great about your parents, but 5 pounds a week for someone who is that much over weight is a big endeavor. You might want to suggest just 2 pounds a week. If they do better then that, they'll be excited to do more, but if they do less, then they can catch up. 5 pounds a week is doable but not something you want them to think is possible every week.

The doc thinks I might have a thyroid problem. I go in tomorrow for some more testing.

Oh I totally agree! I know typically when you first start out you will loose more due to water weight and I think for the first 2 weeks they will. I will try to tell them to aim for 2lbs, but again since my mom is in control what I have to say is taken very lightly. But I will remind my dad aswell... I think he listens better or at least takes what I have to say into consideration.
 
Mid Afternoon check in...

Feeling pretty crap-o-la right now. Its super hot and sticky in our office... the AC doesnt really work and its prolly over 100 outside so around 80 in here... ugh, its a good thing I didn't wear jeans today!

I finally got some work on my desk and took my time getting it done, it has a tomorrow afternoon deadline... but I could only take soooo long before it was done. Now just waiting for the clock to tick by until 4:45. I worked through a bit of my lunch to split out early... I have a hard time making it through the afternoon... I am a morning person and have waaay more energy then.

I did some research on thryroid... all has to do with hormones just as my eye doc suspected... I am interested to see if my prob really is my thryoid or if I am just suffering from some kind of defiecency.

Anyway... more today's eats

AM Snack:
1 cup Canteloup: 1 pt
16 oz Water: 0 pt
Total: 1 pt

Lunch:
2 slice wheat bread: 3 pts
1 can tuna (waterpacked): 2 pts
2 tbsp light mircle whip: 2 pts
5 potato chips: 2 pts
1 cup carrots: 0 pt
24oz water: 0 pt
Total: 9 pts

This leaves me 7.5 points for this evening! I feel like I am doing better at distributing my points over my day!
 
Hey girlie! Why the restless sleep? Are you always having trouble sleeping or do you have some new stresses in your life? On Friday night I slept like crap but I couldn't narrow down my anxiety to the 14mile run the following morning or whether it was from breaking off my new relationship...either way I slept like crap and I didn't ever really catch up on my sleep.

Great job on running/jogging the loop. It's nice to take things easy once in a while to balance out the hard core workouts. Keep it up!

I'm doing weight watchers with my sister and friend and I really like the program. I think your parents will do very well on it if they stick to it. :)

I wish I knew! I haven't slept a full night's sleep since school let out in may. I went to the doc last week because I have also had a headache all summer long, or it seems that way... I'm going in for testing tomorrow.. the doc think its my thryoid acting up. Hopefully we can get a handle on it before the fall semester starts when I really am stressed out and exhausted!!

I was happy with the loop.. Stephen and I acutally talked about you.. I know weird but you are my motivation and I had to share your expierences with him... I feel like I am getting stronger with each run.. I'm gonna shoot for 3 miles tonight!!

I think my parents will do great aswell.. I can't wait to see their results!!! Thanks for stopping by lady!! I hope you are having a good Monday!!!

Wow, I'm so flattered. I know you can do it. If "I" can do it, ANYONE can do it. I failed the 1 mile run in middle school because I absolutely hated running (physical fitness test). Becoming an adult that did not change...I hated running and thought runner's were freaks of nature. Where are they going? Why are they always running? How the hell do they run 26 miles? Those people are CRAZY!! LOL

It wasn't until a friend encouraged me to sign up for my first half marathon that I started training. I trained out of straight FEAR...fear of dying. LOL At first I hated it and I did everything wrong. But over time things have become easier and I'm learning so much every day. Running has become a way of life for me and all of this has happened w/in the last year. So you are right to feel like you can do this. Be careful...you might get addicted like me!! LOL
 
Ha I think I already am getting addicted!! I just finished my 1/4 mile intervals.. I did 3 miles this time! YAY!!! :hurray: I think that is the first time I've ever broken 2 miles on the tredmill. Stephen came in right as I was finishing one of the running 1/4 and was like holy you are really pushing yourself... and I was I walked between 3.0 and 3.3 and ran between 5.1 and 5.3 and thats quick for me, after the first running quarter I almost gave up... my legs were sore from the loop we did yesterday, but I kept on and YAY!! :hurray: I am happy and I feel great! I think tonight I proved to myself that I CAN do this!!! I've been telling myself I can, but now I really know I can!

Okay getting off my soap box! Tonight was pretty kick back, came home and rested a bit. I was starving so Stephen made me a mini strawberry shortcake treat...worth 4.5 points but did the trick. We netflixed the old Batman movies and put Batman Returns in, but we both nodded off... and I dreamt of running through a grocery store with big fluffly socks on sliding through the store... weird I know.

Anyway, just wanted to check in for the evening. I have blood tests in the AM so no food for me until after that... I foresee tomorrow being a crazy day.:willy_nilly:

Final Eats:

1 Slice Angel Food Cake: 3 pts
1/4 cup strawberries: 0.5 pts
1 scoop lite cool whip: 1 pt
1/4 cup onion: 0 pts
1/4 cup bell pepper: 0 pts
1/4 cup zucchinnie: 0 pts
3 oz chicken breast: 3 pts
1/2 cup white rice: 2 pts
Total: 9.5

PM Exercise:
3 miles 1/4 mile intervals: 50 mins +6 points
5 Mins of stretching


Grand Total: 24 points + 6 points = 18 points

I was a little shy but thats okay with me. I really feel good about myself!!

Until Tomorrow! Good night:waving:

Good job on all those eats! Your keeping track very well. I need to start doing that in my diary too. Maybe next week ;)

-Sam
 
Great job on the running! Make sure you don't run every day though. I'm sure you are pumped up and eager to progress but you need to be careful or you can create injuries. I think we chatted about this before but try to run 3 times a week and then cross train on the other days. You'll legs will thank u!!
 
Thanks Sam, I've found that by keeping a double food diary it makes me that more accountable.

Thanks for the tips Lovely! As much as I would like to run everyday, my body won't allow me to. I learned that over a year ago. However I did do 6 miles in two days and my legs were sore... I am currently working out a new running plan/workout plan for August.

Final Eats:
3 oz chicken: 3 pts
1 tortilla: 3 pts
1/4 spanish rice: 1.25 pts
1/4 cup cheese: 3 pts
1 green onion: 0 pts
2 tbsp red chili: 0 pts
2 tbsp reduced fat sour cream: 1 pt
Total: 11.25 points

Grand Total: 20.75
I came up a little short today and I ate the most of my points just a few mins ago, which I didn't intend to do. My tummy was pretty unhappy most of the day, I did take snacks with me, but just was not interested. Hopefully tomorrow.

My BFF texted me late this afternoon saying that a local band we know was playing on a patio tonight. So Step and I went for a little while. We all went to school with all the members of the band, but tonight it was just the Front guy playing... it was very enjoyable. Needless to say we stayed out till past 8 then made our grocery store trip and then came home and made dinner... its 10:30 now which is late for us... but over all we had a good night. Step took a pic of me before we left, thought I would share it... its not terrible.




So we leave for the Cape next Friday and Stephen gave me "the talk" tonight. I am hoping to be able to have a non-destructive vacation and be able to continue on my diet and exercise routine while we are there. Stephen wants me to just kick back eat what I want and relax, but I just feel that I am doing sooooo good that its going to kill me... Plus school starts and I want to be able to fit into those jeans I bought earlier in the summer... and I feel that 5 more pounds and I'm there! But a week off would totally derail my efforts... yeah I can go and relax, but it doesnt mean I have to be lazy and make poor food choices. I would actually like to maybe loose a few pounds while I am there... I am excited to be going to the beach for a week, but at the same time I still have August goals to meet... so I dunno I am a little stressed over that... as well as a ton of other things... bleh... I was hoping to run tonight but our evening out kinda ruined that and I felt like crap this morning when I got up so I just kinda relaxed a bit hoping my tummy would settle long enough for me to get a few miles in... but it just wasnt in the cards... I am currently worried about feeling better and like myself again... its been so long that I have felt really good for more than just an hour or two and its really starting to wear on me... just thinking about it makes me tear up.... I really hate this... its not me to be "sick"... and bleh.... I'll stop...

Night.

You are really pretty!!!!

And I have the same battles whenever I go out of town. James would love for me to just "chill", but I can't do that! I'm a tiny bit more lenient, but I don't want to ruin all my progress and goals! I can totally relate. Just make sure you have a good time, and it will all fall into place! :)
 
Well don't forget rule 1. Have fun. When I went to the beach I just tried to stay reasonable but not strict. Lots of seafood helps. I just tried to stay super active.

Thank you, the more I look at that pic the more I pick at myself...

The good thing about going on vacation is that I am waaay more self conscious about everything... I will mostly likely not eat at all and hopefully be more active than usual.... I just don't want to come home and feel guilty... know what I mean?

I will try to have fun and relax... and eating seafood would be good, only problem I can't stand the stuff!! This whole thing is just stressing me out... from the fact that our options are to eat out and that we are going to the beach where its hot and less clothes is better, but less clothes equals being worried about all my fat showing.... which means I will most likely just wear pants.... I'm really mad at myself for not doing better this month!!!!!
 
bLEH. You look fine. Just have fun. You don't know any of those people any way. Just get hammered. That always works for me.

Eddie's Can't Miss Rules of Vacation
1.-Have sex at least twice per day. Recommended at least once per night and morning with the occasional nooner to mix things up.

2.-Consume at least 8 alcoholic beverages per day. Preferably with at least 5 of those coming at one sitting.

3.-Everything else will work itself out.

Sorry I am just having one of those ugly fat moments where I want to stab myself.

I am sure everything will workout... The sex part won't be a problem, we might need to up that number though... 2 is the current norm... We don't drink (well Stephen doesn't, I do on a very rare ocasion) so thats out... and yes I am sure everything will work itself out.

I am just having a bad day is all... sorry to be all bleh!
 
No need to apologize. We all have those days. No biggy. I am sure you will look great and have a wonderful time.
