Misty's Diary

I have not been to the gym for a while. However, I opted to walk outside today for an hour and a half instead of sleeping when I got back home from work. I need to commit myself to losing the extra 20 lbs. I remember being toned just a few months back and now the flab has crept back on.


I guess I'm trying to prove myself more than anyone else that I can do this. Some days I think it is not possible. It's solid fat, it's going to stick to my body forever. However, I think if I can accomplish this I can do anything. It would be nice to not be teased about being fat/chubby as well. I can do this. I know I can. I just need to put effort and be consistent.
 
I did well today in terms of eating. I had:

Timmies coffee 180 cal
Grilled Chicken sub 6 inch 350 cal
Diet Coke 0 cal
2 granola bars 300 cal

I don't think there were enough veggies or fruit in my diet for today now that I look at it. I will do better tomorrow. Will also hit the gym tomorrow. I'm going to try hard to get the weight to come off- I'm not as motivated as I was last year but I also want to prove to myself that I can do it. I'm tired of not liking the way I look. I have to start somewhere. Anyways, shooting for 115 lbs- however long that will take to reach. Committed and not budging.

I went to the gym today- worked up a sweat and then ruined it by getting home and pigging out!!

Ugh. Might start morning walks. SHOULD start morning walks. Let's try tomorrow.

Don't say "should" Misty, you might set yourself up for trips...

In a book I read I read you never should say "should"

Just go with the flow and do your best!

You can do this!
I believe in you!
Keep trecking hun
always

This summer I have a priority list. I have been thinking a lot about my career and life in general. I think I have come to the conclusion that my weight is always on my mind no matter what. My self-esteem in great part relies on what I can achieve. If I can get my self-esteem up, I can do anything.

Putting money, guys, and everything else aside I have decided that my weight comes first. There are people that will disagree with me, but I am tired of being what other people want me to be. I'm tired of trying to tackle 100 issues at the same time. Maybe I am a horrid multitasker. My life isn't perfect- that's a given, but I am going to tackle my weight and put other things on hold for a bit.

I've given myself a weight loss goal of 5 lbs for the month of June. I may not be able to reach it but I am going to give it my all. It worked for me last year, it should this year as well.
 
Sounds like you keep slipping off the bandwagon. No matter what you do and how many priorities you have... you make working out one of your first!! Make sacrifices for the body you want. Some days my bf will call me at 5:30 and I'm just tying up my shoes to start my workout and I want to say screw the workout or work out for only half an hour and then go see him, but I always tell him I'll call him at 7 and finish my entire workout before I do anything. If I dont, I know I will regret it the next day and I will just feel discouraged and unmotivated!

Just keep asking yourself "how bad do I want to loose this flab?" it will only take a few months of hard work and determination, as you know, and after that you can lighten up and just coast!!

Good luck to you :)
 
current weight (as of this morning) = 120.4 lbs (with no clothes weighing me down)

I went to the gym yesterday (woot woot!) and I am going today as well. I quit my second job to make more time for getting fit this month. Not sure if that was a stupid move, but I plan to pick up something part-time again soon- unless I get a better paying full-time job- that would be sweet. For the time being I'm living modestly and focusing on the weight loss. I feel pumped. I hope the motivation doesn't wear off!!
 
I'm really happy that you quit your other job to make more time for working out! Though the money will be a bit short, you will definately be glad you did it when you start to see the lbs come off :)

Keep going strong :D
 
I opted to take an hr long walk outside instead of the gym, for the following reasons:

1. Didn't want to wear myself out as I am having trouble getting up for work in the morning
2. Got off late from work- soooo much to do!
3. Couldn't pass up the lovely weather

I find that the gym work-out exercises my muscles much better, but I think I'll change it up this summer- might as well make it enjoyable. I'm definitely hitting the gym tomorrow though, will pack my clothes in my bag.
 
Weighed in a lb heavier today- I'm hoping it's muscle, lol.

Have my gym clothes in my bag, have to go directly to the gym after work today. That way I can get it out of the way, gte home relatively early and crrrraaaaassshhh. Boring Thursday, but meh I couldn't care less, haha. Just glad tomorrow is Friday.
 
weight training will definately do that to you. and as much as you dont want to gain weight, it's best that you build some muscle. I still haven't lost much weight... but I'm buying a new scale today cus I think mined broken haha... or I'm just indenial!

It's good that your gonna get the workout out of the way.. The longer you procrastinate, the harder it is to get up and actually do it.

I've started doing my workouts at 7:45 in the morning!! Then I cross the street and get to work for 9 :) Then I don't have to worrry about the workout for the rest of the day!!
 
Today I spent about an hr at the gym- just on the eliptical and worked my arms for a bit. I was pretty tired after work so I left the gym around 7ish. Then I went for an hr and a half walk outside. I pushed myself to walk around the block 2 times. I feel really good though- I did my part today.

I have to go pick up stuff for work tomorrow- before I head in to work. I'll probably hit the gym around 8pm- I can't take a walk because its supposed to rain tomorrow!

Life isn't terribly exciting at the moment and I have a few things on my mind- but I really want to get into the same exercise routine I had last year. Let's see how it goes. Last year's motivation came from my break-up- this year...bit harder to push myself ----but I can doooo it!
 
I have not weighed myself in a while. I'm too scared. I've decided to do like last year and make every Wednesday my weigh-in day. On the up-side, I feel the need to get some physical activity done everyday ( unless I'm dead tired). At least I'm being more consistent than I used to be- and the fact that I crave going outside for a walk ( as opposed to not craving a walk at all) is a good sign!
 
July 21- BRING IT ON!

I haven't checked the scale- but I am on my period- and I will bring up the "water retention" excuse :D

My birthday is coming up- my aim is to lose 3-5 lbs in two weeks, 3 being the minimum and 5 the max. It would be nice to get into a top without the fatty bulges.....so I'm a bit excited to see how I do.

In other news, I'm back on the job market. My contract ends soon and I need to find something ........I haven't hit a low point....I'm optimistic to see what I find- I'm bound to find work eventually I figure.

Anyhoo...the weight goal is 3 lbs. Wish me luck!!

Hey Misty!!
Nice to see you on the up and up!
I am finally back in the game and playing hard. Gotta play hard lol I do ...

Well tomorrow another walk ...
just thought I would stop by

love yas
always
natalie jo
and good luck finding a new contract!
 
Took a two hour walk today- though walking alone at close to 11 pm is probably not such a wise idea anymore....I love the calm that the night brings but there was apparently a murder up the street. Times are bad.....

Anyways, I had my "evaluation" at work today. God, was I in a bad mood after it. But, I figure instead of feeling bad and trying to defend myself, I should work on what was brought up:

- Organization: yes, needs improvement
- Taking initiative: Now...this is a bit grey because....I dislike my job....and motivation is hard to come by....so taking initiative....is difficult.

After the evaluation today, however, I realized....this is not the place for me. Not like I hadn't realized that it wasn't the place for me 10 months ago...but the realization dawned that a) I'm not happy b) it's affecting my work and how I work c) other people notice it too

For the next couple of months I'm there I'll do my best to be a good little worker bee....that's about all I can do.

I like though, how anger motivates me to do things. Today it motivated me to take a walk.

Anyways, feeling tired, going to bed, tomorrow is another day. Hopefully I can hit the gym.
 
Post birthday - had a lot to eat over the weekend! I ate sensibly today, making sure I had fruits and veggies in the diet.

I stayed away from the fatty stuff today, yayyy. The one thing did not incorporate is exercise- was fixing up my resume today.

Anyways, tomorrow is another day and I am ready to get back in the weight loss game, even if it is baby steps all the way! Hopefully not though!

Weighing in this Friday- let's see how I do!
:troll:
 
"Tomorrow is another/new Day" has become my theme song. :D
Good luck and willpower to you for tomorrow and I hope you see a good drop on the scale by Friday. See ya.
