Kadie :)

I hope all that is a Good nervous. Like Excitement:D You'll be fine. Don't let your emoitions control your Eating;) have a GREAT Day and Drink your Water:D
 
Thanks Jelly Belly! I think it is mostly excited nervous but I can't help being a little aprehensive. I do have a new goal though! I have a CKI convention called IDEAS October 13th-14th. I suggested that the 13th, being that it IS Friday the 13th, be a costume social. I have this REALLY cute crop top and jeans that would make the perfect cowgirl outfit. I'm too afraid to wear it now but if I can lose another 10-15 pounds in 50 days and tone up, I think I'll do it! I'll be honest, I'd like to get a little attention for once! So there we go. Tomorrow makes day one of 51 to the IDEAS count down :)
I think I will exercise more in college too. Luckily my classes don't start until 10:00, 10:30, or 11:30 depending on the day so I have plenty of time for a good breakfast and exercise before class. I am going to be working on campus so I am assuming they will put me to work after class, but before they shouldn't so I think I'll be okay. ANYTHING to avoid Freshman 15... in fact, I'm just going to change freshman 15, instead of gaining I'll lose it plus some!! Wish me luck :)
 
Wow your exersice plan looks like it kicks but.I eventually wanna buy a bike
that actually moves and ride it!I am afraid I would get out and can't stop!
My hubby has a mountain bike and I have never ridden 1 of those where you have to shift as you go up or down a hill.I rode a 10 speed when I was a teenager !Anyway congrats to ya Tammy
 
I'm an official college student now. Been bad but have been doing a lot of walking around campus and up stairs, even carried my luggage and boxes up 7 flights! I'll be better soon.
 
Today was a good day.
I am going to be doing a LOT of walking now that I'm at school and have real classes and a real life.
I love college.
One of my courses is a campus experience course. All freshmen have to take it. My professor-amazing. She's going to teach us how to avoid freshman 15. YAY!
I had kashi for breakfast.
Lunch was a grilled cheese and fries.
A HUGE all natural fruit smoothie with slim down booster was for dinner.
The dining hall is in my residence hall and having SO many options and they are ALL YOU CAN EAT will be hard but I figure if I allow myself one "bad" meal a day and just a good breakfast and dinner I'll be fine.
The dining hall even has nutritional info on the food.
My lunch was about 600 calories.
Breakfast was the normal 150ish.
And dinner was 350ish.
I'll have a snack later.

I am so excited about life.
 
I know it has been awhile but I am back and determined to stick with it.
College is doing a number of my weight "loss". I am working and going to classes and I'm doing some clubs so I feel like I am always eating on the run. I try to eat things that are quick and easy but I am going to start really putting time aside for eating well and exercising.
PROMISE!
 
Breakfast- kashi
lunch- pressed spinach wrap with turkey, cheese, lettuce, and cucumbers
dinner- grilled cheese and fries
 
Eek spinach! :eek: Is that safe to eat yet? Probably. Good luck trying to find good things on the run. Maybe pack or plan your meals and snacks?
 
It wasn't actual spinach. It was the spinach wrap (the green kind) so I think I'm safe!

Today was fruit and skim milk for breakfast.
Lunch/Snack was wheat thins and ddp.
Dinner was a grilled cheese and fries.
I need to lay off the grilled cheese but it is the healthiest late night option. I'm working on it.

I need to get in shape for cheerleading tryouts in April. I want to lose the weight, tone up, and build a lot of upper body strength. Some abs would be nice too.
 
Ick. It has been such a long time. I don't even want to tell you how awful it has been.
I just need a new start. I start off each week with such a great mindset and by the end of the week I am tired, rushed, and impatient and it affects everything from what I eat to my exercise habits. I just need to get it together. I think I have figured out away. I am just going to plan out what I eat WAY before I eat it and take the stairs instead of the elevators. It isn't much but it is a good start.
I can't handle feeling like this anymore. I keep trying to tell myself I have to get in top shape by April for cheerleading tryouts but part of me realizes I have a lot of time to do that....
BLAH!
 
Here is the meal plan for the week:
Keep in mind my class/work schedule doesn't allow me normal eating times... Not Good.
Monday:
Breakfast: grits, turkey sausage, possibly an egg white omelet with veggies?
Lunch: probably a DDP with a granola bar and animal crackers at work.
Dinner: Salad with kidney beans, carrots, green peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, lowfat cheese, and sunflower seeds.

Tuesday:
Breakfast: pumpkin muffin
Lunch: veggie stir fry and a peanut butter cookie
Dinner: Salad as above or grilled chicken with general tso sauce and brown rice

Wednesday:
Breakfast: breakfast potatoes and grits
Dinner: Salad as above or a veggie wrap

Thursday:
Breakfast: grits, whole wheat pancakes, potatoes
Lunch: salad or wrap
Dinner: mac n' cheese and corn or baked ziti

Friday:
Breakfast: omelet with veggies
Lunch: something at work? maybe I'll eat some wheat pasta with marinara in class.
Dinner: Salad

The calories for each day range from 1200-1500.
It is hard eating from the dining hall because the food is SO good but I found that if I get take out I cut out a lot of calories. It sucks not to eat with friends but at least I don't go back for seconds or thirds for that thing I really liked. AND if I get a to-go box I can get extra pickles to keep in my fridge in my room.

Any comments?
Exercise ideas that I can manage to do during the busy days would be appreciated.
 
I'm back because I need to get this together. I have gained entirely too much weight and college was certainly the reason. Trying to do too much, making myself exhausted and stressed, and eating the junk they feed us at all hours of the night to keep myself awake to get done what needed to be done.
But no more! I am off for the summer and I am determined to lose 10 pounds by July 13th and 20 by August 31. I would like to be down 45 by next May 1st. I know it doesn't seem like a lot for a year but I know I'll have set backs and if I tried to lose more than that I'd be entirely to skinny.
Back to morning exercising, low cal-diets, and tanning because well, being tan and in the sun just makes me a happier person and being happier makes me want to exercise. Tomorrow I think I will do a few miles on the treadmil first thing in the morning after some Kashi. Then maybe a mid-day walk on the beach or on the boardwalk, and an evening bike ride or video exercise. I'm not sure what I'll be eating because honestly I'm not really sure what all we have. I know I need to drink more water. I HATE the schools water and I'm too poor to buy bottled water all the time so I certainly didn't drink enough water, and WAY less soda. No more 4 sodas a day. Maybe one. One will do for now.

I'll be back. I need to be back.
