Mandy's weight loss diary

Alright so last night i went to the gym i think i burned a bit over 600cals

This morning i cant believe i was able to wake up, i'm really not a morning person. So this morning i was a bit sore so i didnt go to hard core on the eliptical and the treadmil i think i burned around 500cals or a bit more.

Well my day has started at work how fun...well tomorrow is friday!
 
Its hard at first, but you get use to it and whats great about it; once its done with you feel great, the thing is i hate planing what i'm going to wear the next day. I think i'm just going to plan going in the morning when i'm not able to at night.

When i was younger and in shape...lol...some days i would go to the gym once in the morning and once at night. Probably do that 3times a week and then 3 days I would workout after work or school and have one day off...wow thats pretty crazy of me, but hey it did work, i ended up weighing 145 pounds i was never able to get down to 140. I guess that will be my chalenge this year to get down to 135pounds.

I'm pretty excited to see the results, i lost one pound so far this week, i wish it was 2 but at least its better then nothing and on top of it the week isnt finish yet. After my shopping i'm going to do my 10minute pilates abs workout and might go for a walk.

I think next week i'm going to try to fit at least one abs class of 15mins (the gym offers it 3 times a week) but i'll start slowly cuz i know i'll be sore for a couple of days after i take that class.

Then i think the week after (Oct. 16) i'm going to start taking spinning classes, the class last for an hour i believe. I'll try to do that twice a week.
 
This week i've been doing great so far, its such a great motivation coming on this site you guys really help me out and its also a great motivation that i feel great, i'm in a good mood and feel good lately even if its been a week.
It makes you want to go on.

Its almost 3pm in Montreal, finishing work at 5-5h30 ish then shopping, i need some clothes for tomorrow and also for next weekend we are doing a girls night out, it should be great...gotta look sexy...lol I'm really in the mood to buy shoes or long boots and a purse. I would love to buy a jacket but i think thats pushing it right now maybe at the end up october a little gift to me once I beat the October chalenge, 6 pounds to go, hopefully it will be 10.

I need to figure out my menu for tomorrow considering its my day off, but i'm going drinking so i have to watch my calorie intake even if its my day off.

I'm thinking for Friday:
Breakfast: Vector cereal + canberries + 1/2 banana + soy milk = 320
Lunch: Lean cusine chicken and veggies = 170
Jello = 5
total = 495 calories for the day during work, i'll probably have a fruit or veggies while going downtown.

if i allow myself 1200 cals, i have 705 left
if i allow myself 1400 cals, i have 905 left

Gonna try to wake up at 5h15 - 5h30ish to get to the gym around 6am.
 
Well I got into work at 7h40 this morning...damn i'm tired. So my quest at the mall made me realize how much i really gained...aw well...i was suppost to buy pants but i said screw it, it didnt wanna spend 80$ on a pair of jeans that i wont be wearing in a month, i have 2 pairs that fit and one of them is decent that i can dress them up. I got 2 black skirts i might bring one back, couldnt make a decition wich i was gonna wear for next weekends girls night out. I got some 2 sweaters that will fit me either way and 2 shirts and a hangtop, and got 2 pairs of sandals from old navy...YES its getting cold in Montreal but they were 2$ a pair and i'm going to the south in dec.

Last night by the time i got home i didnt feel like working out...i had 3 tbps of low fat coolwip and like 20 canberries = 50cals...it really hit the spot

So today i'm gonna pretty much be hungry...considering i wanna keep cals for tonight...
Breakfast: Vector cereal + canberries + soy milk = 320
My gosh Soy Milk is really good, i got the unsweetened kind, very yummy and only 70cals for a cup.

I was suppost to workout this morning around 6 but i forgot to put my phone on ring so i only woke up at 6h30 thanks to Pogo (my dog) I did 10 pushups(like that makes a diff...lol) I did 10 squats and i did 20 leg rises for each leg.

As i think about it now, its good i'm taking a break from workingout my knees are hurting a tad. I'll be back at it tomorrow!

Well i gotta get my day started...I just wanna sleep right now...
 
$80 for a pair of jeans?!??!?!??!?:eek: THat's abt SD $150. Save that money till later.

WOw i wish i am as motivated as u in working out. I'm feeling the drag after one week. Keep up yr workout! Inspire me!:p What did u do to burn 600 cal in one session?
 
i do 30mins eliptical
and 30mins treadmil: 5mins walk fast pace, then jogging for 10 then run for the rest
 
Its not that bad, it keeps me motivated. I've done it before and i was in great shape, i know it works and since i'm at the gym i should give the hardest i can
 
Its so funny, my friends tell me i should be a trainer or a dietion! LoL and why did i gain all this weight...they are funny...i guess its just motivation and also things that happen in your life...but now i know i shouldnt use food as a healer...its not worth it! Look at all the hard work you have to put into in to lose it! NOT FAIR!lol
 
resting those knees is always a good idea. It's important to let your body rest between workouts. When I first started I'd exercise only 2 or 3 times a week.

First time posting in your diary, thought I'd say hello. Go habs go! lol
 
Thanks everyone! Yes i will watch my knees, I have a bit of touble with them cuz of ringettes, i played since i was 5 and still playing now, we have protection for the knees but sometimes they move and you fall flat on the ice. Not fun...Anyways i'll be fine, i can still walk and i'm not in pain, just feel some weakness, thats about it. I guess today will be my day off.

pinkydolly: Eliptical is great, its low impact on your joints thats what i love about it, and i find you burn more calories with the eliptical then if you are taking a quick walk.
 
Well its sunday! Friday was a crazy night. I got pretty drunk and ended up forgeting my purse at a bar, found it the next day with my ipod and camera stollen...pretty pissed about that. But its only things and at least i'm ok. I've learned a few things from that night...i will learn to control how much i drink.

I feel so lazy since what happen friday night, i just wanna stay in. It even got me thinking if i should get back with my ex, we dated for 6 years...but its probably just a relationship that i'm missing.

Anyways i havent lost anything, dont know why. I wont give up tho!
 
wow sorry to hear about the camera and the ipod.... I don't think I have ever had a wallet returned that the money wasn't missing.

It a bad feeling but don't give up.......
 
Sorry to hear about your camera & iPod - but the worse thing about losing a purse/wallet is all driver's licence, credit cards, etc. If you get those back, consider yourself lucky.

As for the weight, just keep plugging along, we all get those times where for whatever reason, our bodies just hold on to weight a little longer.
 
Only One Pound

Hello! Do you know me?
If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat.
And I am the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
(As if that were such a terrible thing)
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.
And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
Happy Days!!!
After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!
