My dairy

Ended up not going to the gym the other day. Going today. Update: Went to the gym for an hour and a half. Did 30 minutes of cardio on the bicycle, burned 301 calories. Then I did an hour of weight lifting, shoulders today. I'm going to go 5 days a week. I met the tranier there today that gave me my workout plan. I have alot of respect for him. I hadn't seen him in awhile, he had moved to another gym.He said to me I look 'cut up', he said I look great. That means alot to me. My parents have never told me that, but maybe that's because I see them everyday. I am starting to see some definition. I actually somehow managed to wake up at 6 am and go to the gym in the morning. Amazing. Looks like I'm back on track.

I really blew it today. Was going to go to just to get some jolt, but ended up going to a mexican meat market, my favorite place. I got some horneados cheetos (544 calories), a sugar free jolt (15 calories), a beef/cheese stick (220 calories), a guava red paste pastry (no idea, probably 300), a guava roll w/sugar (220), and a tamarind salt/chili snack (no idea, probably 200).

I went crazy! I guess I was just too hungry. The other day I ordered some interesting snack items from columbia, they have this candy called Super Coco Turron, which is like a really good coconut candy made only in columbia. I got these weird red and white gauve paste things too. I'll be sure to enjoy them in moderation.

Attached to the images are the items. The Super Coco and the red and white guave paste things. Should be interesting.

Dinner:
For dinner I had a lamb and beef gyro, on a white bread pita, with a salad w/greek olives, bellpeppers, small amount of feta cheese, oil/vinegar greek dressing, tomato, onions, and yellow saffron rice with a pistacio bakalava.

Tomorrow, Feb 13th is my birthday. Last year at the same date I was 21 and obese at 242 lbs. I'm currently 189.5. If there's one thing I'm happy for its being able to stay up on my feet (standing) without my legs killing me.
 
Hi Spark!
I haven't been around in some time.. but I wanted to stop by to wish you a very happy (belated) birthday!
Great job on the weight loss!
I reached my goal in January - actually, I lost a few extra! I'm at 141 and I am very happy here!
I chose not to stick around on this site due to some negative people- and found a more inspiring, movitating site where no one insults me because of my food choices!!
Its good to see you're doing so well!

I'm 192.0 today

I gained several lbs during the last few days. I'll admit it, I went off track. I went to the mexican meat market and bought a pastry, a guave roll, full calorie coke, big bag of cheetos (ate the whole bag). And then I ate in excess food on top of that. I bought some candies from columbia, ate the whole bag, and then ate the whole package of mazipan chocolate (113 calories each, 18 of them!) in one day.

Today I am more motivated than ever to stop this. I'm going to hit the gym hard again.

Went on the scale today. To my horror it read 190.0. That's 3 lbs over 187. God when is this weight going to come off.

Went to the gym and did the bicycle for 35 minutes, hard resistence. I also did strength training blasted my chest. Couldn't do it longer (the bike). It seems like they tweaked the difficulty/resistence settings or something because my usual level 13 is ALOT harder. I stepped it up to 12/10 intervals. Still, after this my legs were aching too much to do another 30 minutes. On top of that, they changed the bikes so instead of being able to do it an hour, the max time limit is only 30 minutes. This means you can't easily track your calories for an hour, as you have to reset it for the last 30 minutes. Gah.

We ended up getting lost walking and probably went 5 miles. About an hour and 20 minutes gone.
Breakfast:
Jerky (160)
Steamer Cafe Mediterrean (270)
Post workout shake (150)


Dinner:
Gyro meat with falafel piece, rice, pita, salad with greek dressing, and bakalava piece

Hey guys, haven't posted here in awhile. Still going to the gym 5 days a week, eating right and riding my bike 6+ miles a day. Awhile ago I had a month where I didn't go at all. However we're about to move to chandler. I'm going to stick with La.Fitness but I'm afraid I won't be able to modify my workout plan that the trainer made for me many months ago, to a new gym with new equipment. Quitting though is not an option, I'm going to make it work.

The main muscle I've been working on is the front trap and back trap muscles. It is a shoulder muscle. Already seeing some defintion but they are very difficult to build. In proper lighting it looks good but in very bright areas like my bathroom mirror its hard to see. I'm hoping soon over time I will develop a bigger mound of muscle there, especially on the back ones.

Today I'm 183.0. It's been a long time since I posted. My weight has gone up and down now, but never out of 180's. I can't seem to get to 179. It's been this way for months. I may be building muscle, but I can't seem to keep the weight consistently off. I haven't heard from AddieCakes since march. I hope she is still sticking to her plan.

Today I had (I think) some girl looking at me. This never happened when I was obese. Or maybe I just didn't notice then. I was eating at subway and I was facing her, but her back was towards me (She was facing the other way). She kept turning her head 180 degrees to look at me. She had written on her leg "Peblo was here." That got me a laugh, even though I'm not exactly sure what she meant.

I'm going to start the food log again.

Today I was 185.0. I was 183.0 yesterday. Last night late again I had some high sodium foods. Was seeming to crave alot of salt. Had pretzels and high sodium jerky. I'm guessing that's the culprit.

Today is day 4 of the gym. I'm working legs today. Then shoulders tomorrow. That will complete my 5 day cycle.

Breakfast:
Banana (121)
Broccoli, approx 2.cups (60)
Tuna fish
