Lindseybot3k's Diary

WTG Lindsey!!!

Its always exciting to fit into something smaller... you'll be in those other bra's before you know it!!!
 
I did ten miles on The Bike today, and finished it at 29:41. That's NINETEEN seconds less than what I have been doing! When I stopped at five, the timer said "15:03," which is about a minute and a half less than what I used to do!

This week I'm gonna start packing for college although I have about two more weeks before I go....I think this weekend is gonna be my last weekend I'm home, so I'm gonna try to go to the mall with my friends and treat myself to a new shirt or purse or something (...maybe I'll be able to buy a cute shirt from one of the normal people stores...).

All I've had to ate so far today is a little thing of strawberry yogurt....my mom brought home some barbeque stuff and hot wings for lunch today, but I think I'm gonna pass and have some grapes....have no desire to eat things like that anymore, because I know once I eat it I'm just gonna get pissed at myself and feel bad.

.....Okay, I just looked at Hot Topic's size chart. In the normal sizes, I'm like....THREE INCHES from probably being able to wear their size 15 shirts! And in their extended sizes, I'd be too small for their smallest size and in their actual number plus sizes, I'd be TWELVE or FOURTEEN. Ugh.

So today we went to WalMart and looked for me some new bras because my 44B wasn't fitting me as well anymore...we figured out that now I'm a 42C! That's two inches from my band size, and I was wearing 48s and 46s before the 44! I'm really happy...I'm SO CLOSE to being able to buy cute bras in the normal sections of the underwear department (and VICTORIA'S SECRET!)!!!!!! I got really annoyed but excited because I kept on seeing 40Cs and 38Cs on the normal size racks, because I know I'm soo soo close to it.

it's the little things i tell ya - finally being able to fit into vs bras and undies was such a cool feeling -though dangerously expensive :)

if you have a marshalls or tjmaxx near you - check their lingerie departments they usually have brand name lingerie really inexpensive
 
Yeah, I know! I'm down a size in underwear and need more of my new size....all the ones in my old size are more like short-shorts on me now! We've got both a Marshall's and a TJMaxx here, so I might go check them out next time I feel the need for a new bra...one of the ones I got at WalMart was only six dollars, though!

Wow that's quite a deficit! You should probably be taking in some more calories!

Your doing great overall... you have such wonderful determination... keep it up!
 
I haven't been doing too hot these past few days, mainly because I had friends over this weekend, and um....

I think I'm constipated.:( I took a few pills today that should help with it, but...uh, they're not working. And it doesn't help that I'm slightly stressed about college. I think cortisol is getting to me!

I'm no longer worried about paying my tuition and fees and all that crap because the good ol' tax payers of the US are pretty much taking care of it for me (thanks guys!), and I'm SO not worried about the classes, but I'm worried about my rooming situation and people not trying to get to know me because of my weight. My friend that was supposed to be my roomie got separated from me, but she'll be down the hall...last time I talked to the housing department, I was by myself, so let's hope that hasn't changed.

I still have to get my books and other stuff....I need to get my schedule changed because they just got my credits from dual credit high school classes.
 
make sure you're getting enough water -that will definitely help with the constipation.. try not to rely on pills for that.. and check to see where your fiber counts are and up that a little -add in some more veggies or fruits...
 
It's been...not so a good week. I haven't been eating as well as I normally do, and for the past couple of days I haven't been motivated to work out. I guess without realizing it (till now) I'm slightly giving up because I knew there was no way I'd reach my goal by now....but it's okay, because it's in the past and there's nothing I can do about it now except to go on and try harder.

Next week, although it's going to be as hectic as hell, moving in and getting settled and going to class and learning my way around campus, should be easier than this week...and if anything I'll be burning calories like crazy walking all over campus! And now I'll have access to healthy foods that my mother doesn't get and access to a gym...let's just hope that I can go there without feeling embarrassed or being scared that someone's going to harass me.

Today I have exercised, doing my usual thing on the bike...and so far all I've had to ate was a granola bar, and I've drank about a half of a bottle of water (which should be maybe a half of a pint?).
 
I'm so nervous. Tomorrow I move into my college dorm...I'm so scared that I'm gonna fall back into old habits....I'm scared that I'm not going to make friends because of people judging me because my of weight...I know it's college and people aren't AS judgmental, but it still scares me. I'm scared that I won't get high enough grades to keep a couple of my scholarships....

But atleast I'm not hyperventilating like I was at the beginning of last year.
 
Things here so far have been good...and so far I've been eating pretty well...I'm walking alot...I'm gonna wait until I'm truly settled until I start going the gym. Right now I'm getting ready to go have lunch and find my next class. Later I'll post everything I've ate and how much I've walked today.
 
Hey Lindsey!

How is college going so far?

I hope everything is going amazingly ::HUGS::

Wowww it's been a long time since I've checked this!

College has been okay. I found out this past week that after this semester I'll be a sophomore, which is pretty good. I've joined a few clubs and I've made a few friends, but I'm not that tight with anyone just yet, which is really hard on me because I'm used to having a large group of really close friends. My classes are too easy most of the time, which is the complete opposite of eating and working out. I went to the gym once with this girl I know, Katie, and it was okay....I just don't know if I can go at it alone, and I'm really tired of DDR. There's deserts and junk food at every single meal at both of the cafeterias and there's NO WAY for me to avoid it, and the sections where the healthy stuff is is ALWAYS packed and has looong lines. However, I do think my face is looking different and that I have lot weight since I got here because I have to walk practically everywhere. I think on my busier days I walk atleast two miles! I'm gonna try to start up the diet again, though...I'm really desperate to get bac under 300 and I think I'm really close to it! I can't wait until I can go home again and get on the scale.

Here's a more recent picture of me!

I went to the lesser used of the two gyms Monday...it was nice, not too many peope were there, so I felt pretty comfortable. The past two days have been rough on me. Yesterday was sooo busy....I had five classes and a math test and numbers and I do not get along whatsoever. I also had a research project due for English this morning that I had to yesterday evening and there was a floor meeting....and Tuesday I was completely and utterly lonely and homesick and that evening I found two of my friends who are just high school sophomores took some pretty serious drugs and I know for sure one of the had to go the hospital.

I bought this gorgeous purple sweater from Target a few weeks ago and I've only worn it a few times....and it's already too big. I bought a 20/22 even though I thought I could fit the 16/18...and I probably should have bought the 16/18. I looove this sweater and although I'm glad I'm getting smaller, I'm really sad that soon it might be too big for me to wear. :( All of my pants are too big and I don't have enough money to go buy me a new wardrobe, even if I went to Walmart or TJMaxx or Marshalls, and the bras I bought before I came to school are probably too big now, too.
 
So I've lost 5.3% of my body fat.

I should be happy with that. I mean, 36 pounds is a good amount of weight to lose....but it's not enough, and it's no where close to how much I need or want to lose. I really need to step up my A-game and get back to dieting.......I'm just not motivated and there's temptation ALL around me, you simply can't avoid the bad stuff in the cafeterias and I'm still really tired of the things I used to do back home. I just wish that I had some kind of friend that would be willing to work out with me and do things that were active besides going to the gym and using the machines. I want to try to do...more active, more sporty things.
 
I'm not doing too hot here lately. Being here at college and living in the dorms makes it all too easy to eat things that I shouldn't and I can't find much time to go to the gym between classes and clubs and schoolwork. I've got my DDR pad and my pilates DVD here but I never feel like doing either of those.

I think I need to sit down and reevaluate everything...I still really want to lose weight and I'm so close to making it to 300...fourteen pounds or less, everytime I've weighed myself here lately it's been close to my period so I don't really know how much I weigh, but I know I've lost some because my face looks different and some of my clothes are baggier and my body even feels different....
 
you are making progress then - have some patience with yourself... there's no need to deprive yourself -just do the best you can to plan your day food wise and try to schedule in some gym time... it needed be a 2 hour session... but even 30 minutes a few times a week will help you out...

Reward yourself when you do it for a certain amount of time... til it becomes a habit for you...
 
So last night at midnight when class registration opened for me, I registered for the classes I want to take next semester. It took me a while to get into some of things that I wanted and because I'm either a freshman or a sophomore, I got completely shut out of the geography class I wanted to take and all of the english classes I wanted to take because I'm an English major. However, I do have it arranged where I don't have any more eight o'clock classes (just nine o'clock ones, which will give me more time to sleep in and I can do more in the evenings) and most of my days end at 1...which means I'll be able to go to the gym more and still have time to do my homework and go to the clubs I've been going to (.....lol, not drinking clubs). The only later class that I have is at 6:30 on Tuesday and it lasts till nine, which is going to be a pain but it's only once a week.
