Lukewarm's Weight Loss Diary

Hey at least you ate a whole bunch of vegies. I had a slurpee and a huge chocolate bar last night... so I think you faired better!

I'm so excited for you that your sis is staying with you for the summer and that you guys can be healthy together! I've never had the "space" between the thighs but I damn it do I want it, lol.
 
Risty Hey I know. I JUST posted about how I was proud that I avoided eating 3 bowls of cereal yesterday and I just ate 3 bowls of cereal, which puts me right at my maximum caloric intake for the day and it's only 7 p.m. ugh.

Thank you! I'm really happy too, this is my time to get control of my weight before next semester. The next 2 months are really crucial.

We can do this girl! :)
 
Aww, sorry about the 3 bowls of cereal! I don't have cereal in the house! I eat my oatmeal for breakfast. Maybe you should try that... one good reason... you'll never wanna just sit down and eat 3 bowls of it, let alone make it...lol.

I agree that the next couple months are very important and we can do this!
 
Risty You know what? I think I'm going to do that. I have to go grocery shopping anyways tomorrow. I think you're absolutely right. I totally do not have a craving for 3 bowls of oatmeal. Thank you! Wow I'm excited.
 
Hehehe, that's awesome! Besides, if you buy oatmeal in bulk, you'll totally save a bunch of money, cereal is so expensive! Just have your oatmeal with cinnamon or fruit, a glass of skim milk or your soy drink and you'll be good to go in the morning!

P.S. make sure not to get the prepackages crap with a bunch of sugar! I get the reg oatmeal in bulk and just cook it in the microwave every morning for 5 mins and while that does that I get ready for work and stuff, so even though it takes a bit more time, you can always do stuff in the meantime while ya wait!

Risty Thank you so much! I'm excited because I know I won't be tempted with this breakfast alternative, that's much better for me and doesn't have all that sugar. I should have thought about that sooner considering everyone on here eats oatmeal for breakfast, but sometimes I just need someone to show me the light. I was blinded by the light! I even have strawberries at the ready.

I have a question. Why are frozen berries or frozen fruit in that gross coating? I look in the ingredients for them to list a sugar syrup, but the only ingredient listed is "Strawberries." Liars.....heh heh heh. Even the organic frozen berries have it. I try to pretend it's not there, but I don't have the money to always buy fresh.

I didn't exercise yesterday. Someone kick my ass please?

I have no excuse other than I'm lazy.

Here's my poem:

I have nightmares of what lies under my skin
I have nightmares of what lies over my muscle.
I have dreams of one day being thin.
Why do I sabotage myself?
...is my greatest puzzle.

Hey, I'm glad I was able to help! And what you said is true, sometimes you do need someone to show you.

About the whole berries thing and having a coating or something... I don't know. The berries I get definately don't have anything added. You know how raspberries can be sour... well... they are, if there was anything added I'm sure they wouldn't, lol. I love buying my fruits frozen just because I don't go through them very fast and I'd be wasting a lot.

I like your poem, reflects how I feel myself. It really confuses me sometimes why I do the things I do, sometimes it's just like... am I that stupid? I KNOW I shouldn't do this, but I do it anyways, lol.

Better luck on exercising today!
 
Risty I know, like I'm joking around with the poem and all, but I'm kinda not. It's how I feel. I don't like being all thick but yet I just don't exercise? STUPID. Ohh I love raspberries, they're my favorite. I love sour!

So, I'm going to post my goal for the next 8 days and see how it goes.

Goal for Wednesday May 23 through Thursday May 31:
Practice Interval Cardio: "running", jogging, and short periods of fast walking. Basically I want to get my heart racing and become out of breath. CHECK!
Strict 1400 calorie diet: NO MORE CEREAL, more fruit, more protein, less carbs, oatmeal for breakfast. Keep all nutrients balanced. CHECK!
Have More FUN: I work in the evening, so I want to have healthy fun, and make sure I don't go out after work, because that's where I fall prey to my vices, such as smoking and drinking. I want to incorporate all of the following activities into the next week at least once.
-Tennis:
-Beach: CHECK!
-Outdoor Jogging/Walking:
-Frisbee:
-Bike Riding: CHECK! Spinning counts.
Strength Training: I want to weight lift every other day, alternating Upper and Lower Body. And I STILL want to work up a chart to keep track of it on here. Not happening.

I will be very proud if I manage to accomplish all of these goals! :)

Good morning! Great goals!!! I like the way it is just for a small amount of time. You are doing well though! Keep up the great work!
 
Mishi Thank you! Wow, I just noticed that you're super close to your goal, congratulations, it's really nice to see someone who's nearly there. Yes I think it's a good goal, I can try for longer if I make it the 8 days.
 
Oh you poor thing,

I'm jetting off for my yoga class, but decided to peek in your diary and what's this - you feel sad? Awww, poor thing. Take heart.. I'll post after my class.
 
Sara, I thought the poem reflected how you feel, it even reflected how I feel... hwo did you know?! lol.. I hate how I look and I got lazy with the exercise but especially the eating and that's exactly how feel I do it is stupid, just pure stupid! Sometimes I don't make sense to myself... I know I hate being overweight, but yet I'll eat a bunch of lasagna and cheesy garlic fingers and enjoy every bite until... half way through I think to myself I don't need to eat anymore that was plenty of cals, but I just keep on eating the whole entire thing. Then after I'm done I feel like a fat slob and can't believe I just did that... so yeah... stupid! lol

Your goals seem really good! Good luck on completing them. I'm sure you'll do fine. Just taking the time to make such detailed goals seems like you really want to achieve those things and because of putting them down and planning it out your more likely to succeed than having some vague idea. So I know you'll be able to do it!
 
RhoRho ohh thanks! I am fine, I was just being whiny :) I'm over it a bit...or I should be!

Risty OH girl I so understand that. I simply can't enjoy something bad and delicious, because once I break the seal of a craving, I don't stop. Lasagna...or cookies...or whatever! I'm not strong! WE WILL GET STRONG! I'm going to go run on my treadmill because my sister doesn't want to go...oh wait oh wait...I guilted her into going jogging outside I think...YES I DID! hahahaha the power...I'm happy. She's doing handstands against my wall. Skinny little...ok...I'm a bad sister. I love her skinny ass.

I hope that my plan works, I managed to eat nearly right at 1400 today and I'm going running right after this. And Risty thank you again because I did pick up a gigantic carton of Quaker Oatmeal at the store...I'm thrilled about my morning oatmeal now...:rotflmao: I'm done now, I promise.

Okay have a great night you guys.
 
I'm glad you understand the evils of food and not being able to stop when something is just too delicious!

That's awesome you convinced your sis to go jogging!! Good job for eating your 1400 cals :D Tell your sis to stop showing off with the handstands! JK.. I've never been able to do those things, they scare the crap outta me. I always imagine myself trying, landing on my neck and breaking it... no thanks!

Oh and your welcome about the oatmeal! I like it because it keeps me full and you don't crave it like the cereals and things like that, so it's perfect! Enjoy!
 
Risty Yeah I was happy we went. It was really nice to have someone to go with. Oh my gosh I know, I'm scared too! I haven't done a cartwheel in so long that it's ridiculous! We could do it eventually though...I can't describe how pathetic my urge to do a handstand is. I just want to be able to scamper. :rotflmao: She was doing pushups upside down against the wall. UGH. She really was showing off.

So we jogged down the boulevard near where I live, but it was sort of late and we came up on this really dark part of the road where there were no lights soooo we turned around and ran around the complex. We sprinted, jogged and walked, I pushed myself more than I do when I'm alone, that's for sure. Which was a good thing for me to realize I think because now I know that I can certainly incorporate when I'm on the treadmill. I think I take the treadmill too seriously. Like I look at it as a failure if I can't sustain a certain speed for a prolonged period of time, but instead I'll just look at it as a challenge to see how fast I can go, and my goal will be to simply up it as much as I can. I took her measurements, so we'll see where she's at in a couple months.

Have a great day everyone!

Today I went gym-sleuthing. I found about 7 grungy gross gyms, and then I found Omni Fitness. Which at first reminded me of Globo Gym from Zoolander (minus mean judgmental hard-bodies), but after the tour of the place I was in love. So in love that I paid for a membership. :eek: I tried to determine whether or not I felt manipulated or scammed before I signed the contract, but I made sure that if I don't feel it by Monday, I can get a refund and cancel the membership. I also picked up some free passes so Chels can come with me for the next couple days. I'm excited. There is a pilates class, kick-boxing class, and a spin class (that he assured me I can attempt at my own pace). I have a consult with a trainer tomorrow...I'm nervous though. My first ever experience with Yoga is at 8 a.m. Saturday morning! I've never had a gym membership and I've certainly never been in a group course, but so many people seem to do really well with them on WLF. So, I'll post later about how it goes! Pirates of the Caribbean is in 2 hours so it's been a beautiful day.
 
Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the jog. It definately helps to have someone there and push you to go harder than you normally would. That happened with me and my sis on our jog.

Congrats on getting the gym membership! I'm sure you'll enjoy it along with all the classes :)

I SOOOO wanna see Pirates! I'm going on Sat afternoon (when I know it won't be sold out, unlike tomorrow night which will be sold out for sure. I can't wait!
 
Risty LOL I know, I'm insane about POTC, I woke up early and bought the tickets online. I'm getting in there. I'm also going an hour early to the theater to get good seats.

OH yes and I'm bringing my own popcorn tonight so that I know what my cal intake is. I'm not eating dinner so that I can scarf popcorn through the movie. Not great, but better than going over.
 
Hehehe, I think it's a good plan. It's not like you skip dinner for popcorn every night or anything! Enjoy the movie, I know I sure will on Sat!
