Kate's diary A New Beginning

alright! It seems like you're really rocking! and congrats with the jeans! That's always a booster! I can't wait till tomorrow! I had a really bad soda craving, and I JUST remembered the is one 6 ounce can of dr. pepper in the cabinent...and I really wanted it, but I promised myself I'd wait until tomorrow afternoon to have it...as a reward (I know I know...food rewards...blah! but I need to get it out of the house). And good idea with the cindy crawford thing. Just build up! That's what I'm doing with tae bo. I couldn't even do ten minutes when I first got it, but now I can do all thirty! but I don't do thirty everytime...I think that'd be overkill since the one time I did thirty I was nearly dead :p
 
Hey Blue.....
Thats the way we should all measure our weight loss...not by the scale but by how are clothes fit us!!!!........The scale tells lies....but out clothes will ALWAYS be honest with us!!!!
About your exercise.......on starting huge......remember baby steps.....and then add more........Last week I over whelmed my body with too much exercise I think.....and this week I am paying the price........We need to listen to our bodies more.......just like how you got full on the suggested serving of pancakes.....your body needs only what it needs....its our minds and emotions that end up wanting more....and its our job to tell the difference
 
Christina -- I'm going to be sooooooo happy the day I actually love doing that tape. I know I'll feel stronger and that is one of my goals.

cm--glad you are doing good...I actually think it is okay to reward ourselves with food every rare once in a while. I mean, for me, pizza is the thing I LOVE. But I've cut myself off of that since I started posting here. Now if I never thought I was going to have another piece I would fail, but I know when I deserve it I'll have a piece or two and somehow it actually makes it easier to not cheat, knowing that.

kccruz -- well, I was feeling good yesterday and then scale time and it was a huge disappointment. I'm happy about the jeans, but not happy about the loss...since I wasn't exercising enough I can't blame it on building muscle.

Okay, bad morning for me. I got on the scale, rather optimistically I might add, and I was only down one pound. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy another pound is off of my body, but I guess my hatred of exercise is going to HAVE to end..or it will take me..hmmm two pounds a month...oh way too long!!!!!!

Anyway, I'm not letting this stop me. I'm going to use it as a motivating factor...no more excuses. I'm making an exercise plan today and I am going to stick with it. I'm going to come up with the minumum I must do as well as a medium amount and a maximum to shoot for. I'm then going to log in here everyday and even if I don't have the time to write I'll post exercise: 1 star, 2 stars or 3 stars.

Okay, and congrats to everybody who really stuck with the plan these past two weeks. You all definately deserve the post cards! Better get my pen out...
 
Okay here is my exercise plan -- Saturdays are my day off:

Minimum: 1 star
20 minute yoga in the morning
30 minutes aerobic, strength training or walking (or combo)

Medium -- two stars
20 minutes yoga in the morning
45 minutes aerobic, strength training or walking (or combo)
abs workout

Maximum -- Three stars
1 hour aerobic, strength training or walking (or combo)
45 - 1 hour yoga
abs workout

Extras -- Things I want to work up to--1 moon for each
Cindy C. tape as much as I can do
Running on treadmill
If I do the exercise in the morning instead of night

Okay..this is subject to change as I work with it, but I this is what I am going to do for now. At the very least I will be getting in 4 aerobic and 3 strength training sessions per week as well as short yoga session each day.

Don't let me slack! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!
 
That looks great!!!! You will definately notice a change in your body - MUCH tighter - after all that! Good job!! You've motiated me to go post my exercise also - if I have it in writing, I'm more apt to do it! haha
 
Are you slacking at exercise or eating...or both???.....Whats going on in your life that might be causing the slack?...
 
Bad Bad Me! I totally slacked off for a few months there. I don't recognize most of you, but I'm sure I will get to know you in the coming months. Anyway...I gained 3lbs back during my the months I haven't been posting. I'm not too upset about it because at least I am coming back before I gained it all back.

My new goal is to lose 10 to 12 lbs by Feb 25th...exercising and eating right. After that my next goal will be 4 more lbs to bring me down to 160. Then I think I'll go in 10lb increments until I feel like I'm where I need to be. I know if I am posting here then I am in a good place with motivation and hopefully next time I feel the slacking going on I can do something to change the momentum. To everyone who has joined since I left, can't wait to meet you all!
 
Things are going ok. I've decided to start off slow just doing yoga to get myself into the right frame of mind. I think last time I ignored the exercise portion a little too much. Anyway, major obstacles to me reaching my goals are: MY JOB. I work 9 to 10 hours everyday and am exhausted when I come home. If anyone has found things that work for busy people let me know. I really want to reach my goals this year. It is the perfect year to do it!
