MrsKT's Weight Loss Journey

Your so welcome! I completley believe in you and know you can do this! I look forward to reading your diary everyday and I think your a wonderful support to me as well. You are doing so well and I think your mini goals are super reasonable! You are going to start seeing some progress for your dedication and that alone is a huge encouragement. How often do you weigh yourself? Do you take measurements? I regret not taking measurements to see how many inches I lost. You did great today, have fun working out with your boys tonight.
 
Janvier,
I try to only weigh myself on Fridays. It's hard to stick to that but when I weigh my self every day sometimes I get a little obsessed or depressed. I have taken measurements. I will pull them up and list them. I hope you have a great day. Now I'm headed over to read your dairy. Chat with you later!
 
Last night went well. I did my ab exercises as planned. I got a little hungry so I ate a turkey sandwich. Well I didn't plan that so it put me over my calorie limit by 100 calories. I hope that doesn't have to big of an effect on my weight loss this week. I may try to cut out 100 calories today (if that really would make a difference). My eating plan for today will be:
B-Cheerios and 2% milk (140calories)
S- Pretzels (fat free, reduced sodium), water (45)
L-Lean cuisine, water (320) Fruit cup (60)
S-Popcorn (100)
D- Mixed veggies and grilled chicken breast (around 350)
I'm leaving room for about 300 calories just in case I want a snack tonight. Maybe I will work my abs so hard I wont be able to put anything in my stomach (lol).
My exercise plan:
40min on glider during lunch.
30mion ad and arms tonight.
 
My measurements on 11/10/2009
Neck 14
Bicep 13
Forarm 11
Chest 37
Waist 34
Hips 43
Thights 24
calf 14
Before I took these measurements, I use to only measure my chest, waist and Hips. I have loss an inch in my chest and hips since November 2nd when I started. I will measure my self today to see if there has been any changes.
 
Work out went ok. I didn't get to work out for as long as I wanted to. I like to do at least 40min but I only got to do 30min. Haven't had lunch yet. I'm feeling very nauseous. Think I may go home for the rest of the day. Not sure why I feel so crappy.
 
Today is weigh in day. I was really hoping to see 191 but it was 192.8 which is like a 1 pound loss. I guess that's ok. I really wanted to loss 2 pounds this week. I think I'm gonna work very hard for the next couple of days and weigh my self again on Sunday to see if there's a change. I am thinking about talking to my Dr. again about the lack of energy I have and again it has never been this hard for me to loss weight. I am use to my weight just falling off when I make great efforts like this. It has offically been 30 days since I started dieting and exercising and I have only loss 4.5lbs. Any loss is good, dont get me wrong but I just think I can do better. Oh and I may not be able to do cardio today because I have a cyst in the worst place ever and it's beginning to get very painful. I had a half of cup of dcf coffee today with 2 packs of splenda so I think I'm gonna skip breakfast. I'm gonna try to keep my calories very low today especially if I'm not going to work out.
 
Doing pretty good today. I have only had coffee, pretzels, and 5 chicken nuggets (320 calories). I know that's not much since it's past lunch time but I'm not working out today and I am going out to eat after the basketball game tonight. So I want to be very careful. The good thing is that I'm not hungry. I will probaby eat a turkey sandwich when I get off work.
 
Weekends!!!!!!!!
Weekends are so hard. I just want to lay in the bed for the most part. I didn't do anything (as far as my meal plan and exercising) I planned this weekend. But I got on the scale and I didnt gain any weight so yeah. I wanted to try to loss a half of a lb this weekend but maybe I can lose two pounds this week. I need to go grocery shopping today. I didn't have anything to bring to work to eat for breakfast so I grabbed a liter of water and some grapes. I'm having chili for lunch. I would love to loss 5lbs by my birthday (Dec 14) but I am going to be comfortable with just seeing the 180's. I really have to motivate my self to exercise this week because I want be able to get it done during lunch. I have a Dr. appt tomorrow during lunch and I am meeting my husband for lunch today. My Dr. thinks I may be having thyroid issues. Does any one have any knowledge about this? I told my husband I would have lunch with him if he promised me he will make me workout for an hour tonight. Of course he had another type of work out in mind:willy_nilly: but I told him that was fine but I also needed to get on my glider for an hour!
So let's list some goals for this week
1. Workout every day
2. Do ab work outs at least 4 times this week
3. Watch my caloric intake
4. Don't get stressed with taking exams this week!
 
Don't get down, you are doing so great! The weekends never go as planned for me either but then I just try harder during the week! Your goals for the week look great - you can do it! Don't let stress get you down because I know from experience that usually leads to bad decisions when it comes to food. Also make sure to go grocery shopping - I find for me that is the easiest way to make good decisions. When I have nothing fresh in the fridge I usually turn to the cupboard or freezer and the options are never as good. Don't procrastinate studying either because that will be stressful! You got this!! :waving:

Thanks Jess! I try my best to stay optimistic. I have realized that this journey is going to be a life long one. I'm not just gonna drop 50lbs in a couple of months and be able to do whatever I want to do for the rest of my life with out gaining it back. I am going to have maintain a healthy life style to be able to maintain my weight loss. So I'm in it to win it. Bad days will come, I just cant allow them to take over.
 
Hi mrskt20,

How are you doing? I still think you are doing great! Congrats on your 1 pound weight loss, it may not be what you wanted but its a loss and thats all that matters, any amount lost is better then not losing at all. And the main thing is that you are actually working out and eating right! You are changing your life little by little and thats what will help you not only lose weight but keep it off for good! You may be only taking baby steps in the race but as long as you get to the finish line that is all that matters! Keep it up hun, you are doing so much better then you think, you are on the right track and you are going to start seeing the changes in your body and in your clothes before you know it.
 
Last night was crazy. I went with my family last night to find a Christmas tree. Well that took much longer than I thought it would. I didn't get home until after 8pm. Now I know that doesn't sound late but I have 3 kids to feed and put to bed at night so my daily routine starts around 6pm. So I get chicken and cole slaw for dinner from KFC (689 calories, way too much fat) I got so sick last night. It felt like some one was inside my stomach for a May pole celebration. On top of that i had to decorate the tree witht he kids. I figured out most of my problem was gas but it sure did hurt. So I didn't exercise. I really hate that..... So I am really looking forward to exercising tonight. Oh, I went to my Dr. today. I really like my Dr! She's crazy and down to earth. I got on the scale at the Dr. office and it showed that I hd gained a lb but I thought about it. I had on my shoes and all my clothes and it was after 12pm so I'm not going by what that scale said. She's putting me on a daily medication for my migraines. I really hope it helps.My meal plan for today is seriously shot to hell.... I had Krystal's- 1 double cheese Krystal and 17 fries. That's a total of 580 calories and 34grams of fat. I feel horrible but I am determine to finish the rest of this day strong. Nothing but water and a salad for me for the rest of the day. Ok let me get back to work.
 
I hope the medication helps! I have a friend whos mom has such bad migraines that shes tried everything including the clinical trials. ughh, can't imagine :( Props to you for not deciding your day was blown and throwing the rest of the day! I've done that before- eat horrible, feel horrible for it, then eat horrible some more, lol. No more of that, nono.
 
I was so sick last night. My stomach was crampy and I just felt like I was gonna blow! I feel a little better. I didn't get to exercise yesterday but I am head to do that as soon as I get off of this site. I have had a banana and a yogurt today and I plan to eat a lean cuisine for lunch. I have already drunk 2 bottles of water 16x2. I will probably drink 1 more after my work out and than one with my lunch. Trying to keep it simple. I have messed up enough this weeks. Don't need any more slips!
 
My workout went great during lunch. I worked out for 45 minutes. I really wished I had the time to do more. I had a lean cuisine for lunch with a cup of fresh fruit. I plan to have salad and grilled chicken breast tonight for dinner. I know this week hasnt been the best but I really would like to at least loss a pound this week. Well we will see. I think I am goin to wait until Sat. to weigh my self. I haven't really decided.
 
I'm glad your feeling a little better, that is exactly how I felt after all of that deep fried food at my work christmas party. But you are doing great today! You reedeemed yourself so good for you! Keep up the great work! Don't forget all of the mistakes that will be made during your journey will only make you stronger in the end!
 
I had a great night! I got a chance to exercise a little bit last night. I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked but that's ok. I am having a nofat decaf coffee (120 calorie) for breakfast, yummy. My sister came home from out of town last night. I has so glad to see her and my niece and nephews. I miss them so much.

Well as for my meal plan today:
B- Coffee, yogurt (180c)
S-Banana-b4 my workout (100c)
L-lean cuisine (320)
S- Pretzels
I will work out 45 mins during lunch. Not sure if I will get any exercise in tonight I have to take a final.
 
My workout went great today. I worked out on my glider for 42 minutes. I am getting to where I really want to work out longer but my lunch hour is only 1 hour. And I am already over extending my lunch by 5 to 10 mins every day. I really wish I could make my self get up early in the morning and exercise than I could most definitely get in a hour of cardio in. Well I will make sure to work my abs and lower body tonight. I hope every one is having a super day!
