Kate's weight loss diary!

Today I am tired - ran another 4K in 30 mins in my vibrant pink and green shoes...I got a lot of funny looks at the gym but I love them haha!

They helped out a lot, no more sore feeling in my ankles or calves at all, and I felt a totally different work out today - it seems like there's now less impact and my thighs were burning I tell ya haha.

Anyways real quick, here's my food:

breakfast - 230cals special k with 1%milk

snack - 200 cal protein bar

lunch - regular sandwich that I always make :p 235cals

dinner - 800 - my bro made this huge meal, I didn't eat it all but my mum and I decided there was around 800 in it. I would write what it was but...I have no energy at the moment, my brain is just failing me!

TOTAL: 1465

ok BED! :D
 
Nice job! I realized today I don't get a workout from the elliptical anymore no matter how high I go - so I've started doing 30 min running too but I think right now I only do about 3.5k. When I hit the 170s I'm gonna treat myself to some new sneaks! Prob not as bright as yours tho =) They are so cute! Good job on the food today. I bought some protein bars to eat as a snack but I'm not sure how good it is for me. I just hate munching on veggies, and balance bars are nice because they come in cookie dough lol yummmmy. Have you been doing okay with them? I don't want to ruin all this work!

Good for you! I used to do the elliptical every single day in my freshman year of college but I just didn't lose any weight. Biking and running are two old hates of mine because they actually make me work hard haha. No wonder those are the 2 things that make me lose weight!

As for the pink shoes, the guy watched how I walked, took my foot measurements, the arch etc. then chose these specific shoes for me. As soon as he brought them out I was like, WOAH. He had them in silver and blue too but...nah, sometimes you just gotta go all out haha!

Those bars that i'm using...hold on i'll get the name for you. Ok so they're called "Zone Perfect all - natural nutrition bars". My aunt gave me a few of them to carry around in my bag for when I need a snack. I usually eat half of one as a snack, share it with my bro...or eat the other half later!

I don't eat them every day, only really if I go to the gym and am very hungry right after before I make it home to shower, or have to run errands - they keep me going!

I wouldn't eat a whole one for a snack only because they're high in calories for something small like that, and if you don't wanna ruin all your work, don't eat them every day! Try to have veggies one day, nutrition bar the next, and alternate. That way you can slowly phase out the cookie dough taste and add more veggies into your diet :)

Hope that helps :)
 
Wow, that's crazy. I use the elliptical when I go to the gym and I can hammer myself on it. 30 minutes, resistance 8 (of a possible 20), ascending hill program, and I'm knackered (I usually do 25). Any more than 30, you'll have to carry me out of the damn gym. Are the machines different in North America or something? I can't imagine so. (And I'm not that unfit!)
 
Haha I think they are the same - I used to do the elliptical when I lived in England and I just didn't find it as tiresome as running or biking. For some reason I enjoy the elliptical way too much!

I guess we are really all different, even in the gym haha!
 
Hey guys,

I didn't write yesterday regarding my calorie intake because I was just having one of those days. I can tell you that I stayed within my limit and also ran another 4k in 30mins.

Weeell today i'm finding it slightly hard to get motivated to go to the gym. I went to the dentist and thought that I would make this my rest day since half my face would probably be asleep from the novocaine. Luckily they didn't have to use any so i'm facing the dilemma of, should I, or shouldn't I?

I also found out we're going out for dinner. It's my first restaurant visit since I started writing down my calories and I'm a little bit nervous.

Here is the menu if anybody can help me choose something that's about 800 calories or below it!



I'm going to go walk the dog and see how I feel...I should kick my butt to the gym huh.

Aaah motivation needed people!!!
 
Do it! You know you are gonna feel a bit guilty no matter what you eat there, so work out to counter it. Plus you don't want to get to Sunday and think what if. I just spent the day making chocolate chip pancakes, and funfetti cupcakes, and homemade pizzas - not for me of course! I still feel guilty somehow though lol. We are locked in for the night and my running shoes are in my car - subconscious forgetfulness? Probably.. but I wish I had them! I feel like I need to be on the treadmill more than ever right now. Do it for me! =P
 
I hate going to the dentist! I have to go soon myself >.< Yuck! And I would love to help you pick out something.. but you probably already went and came back. So how did you do?
 
Hey guys,

So I did go and get a cheese burger. No fries or anything though, just a plain old burger! It was yummy and I believe within my calorie limit so I think I did alright. I also went to the gym tonight to try and work some of it off. I didn't run for too long, just 20 mins off and on for a total of about 3K. I was just so exhausted!

Speaking of exhausted I was meant to sleep 30 mins ago...but suddenly my ex boyfriend has appeared and is lecturing me.

Argh can somebody please tell me what gives him the right to be annoyed that i'm finally doing something for myself? All I wanna do is sleep dammit.

sfgjdfljglsdj MEN!!!!!!!!!!
 
Helloo,

Ok sorry about my last post. It seems as if that man can still get to me, but i'm slowly starting to realize - through the help of some amazing friends in particular - that I'm not in the wrong for doing something good for myself - and that it should NEVER ever be for anybody else than yourself.

So now we have that out of the way :)

I've been feeling a little happier this week, bar the ex boyfriend drama that shouldn't even exist. I went back to the gym today after my rest day and ran another 4K in 30 mins. It was actually kind of fun for me...I never thought I would see fun and running in the same sentence ;)

I'm going to push myself a little harder tomorrow if I can. It might be hard because tomorrow I have to clean out my hoarder uncles house (it's kind of bad like that show haha) and then get to work, be on my feet all day long and THEN get to the gym! Sunday is my weigh in day and i'm excited but nervous. I'm hoping that all my hard work will pay off again, but of course i'm not expecting another 4.5!

Breakfast
Quaker Weight Control - Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal, 1 packet 160


Lunch
Arnold - Select Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins, 1 roll 100
Oscar Meyer - Turkey Bologna, 1 slice 50
Dannon - Yogurt Light & Fit - Vanilla, 1 container 80

Dinner

Stop & Shop - Butternut Squash Frozen Cubes, 2 cup, cubes 126

Snacks

Not a lot but not bad either!

Hi Azara!

Wow it makes me feel so good to hear you say all those kind words! I personally don't feel much of an inspiration but it's people like you that make me even more motivated than ever before :)

So whatever I have done for you that has benefited you, that's no problem and I can't wait to see your progress!!

Tomorrow is my weigh in day so wish me luck :) good luck with your journey lovely, you got this!
 
Good morning :)

So it is weigh in day...and I weigh:

171lbs! I lost 3lbs this week.

That's a total of 30lbs since my start weight. What! That's crazy!!

I guess if you really put your mind to something, and receive all the support that you need, you can do it :D

Good luck to everybody else with their weigh ins this week or next :)

I'll be back on later since it seems like work may be cancelled because of rain (the beach isn't so fun in the rain!)
 
Congrats on the loss hun, that's fantastic news! :) I hope I'll be as successful!
Oh and thanks for the add :D <3
Keep your chin up gal!

Hey guys so I took some progress photos for today just so you can get an idea of what i'm looking like these days.

Here I am at 171lbs and I still need to lose 26lbs, maybe 30.









I know they're terrible quality but my camera isn't working and I had to use my ipod!

Funny how just trying on a bikini can take all your accomplishments right out of your head and make you feel like crap! hmm...I won't be doing that again. Not for another 30lbs.
