My dairy

Hiya!
Just poppin' in to see how you're doing.. I attempted to run yesterday at the track, what a mess that was.. at most, I was doing a very slow jog, and my shins immediately started hurting, (and right away I thought of you and your past shin pain), which took me back to a brisk walking pace lol.. I'm still debating on whether or not I should get me some roller blades or roller skates!

The shin pain, and whole ankle pain is why I stopped running and chose to do some low impact biking. Unfortunately, in the 30 minutes of riding my bike I seem to not push myself hard enough, as I barely break a sweat, but go a couple miles for 30 minutes total.

I think I'm going to continue running as soon as my ankles start to feel better, the running really messed me up. I still want to run a mile without stopping.

Thanks for checking in

Got on the scale today, I did it! Under 230! It said 229 on the nail..I also did my waist measurements (starting at belly button) and I've lost an inch! I was a size 48 waist and now I'm size 47. I'm going to confirm that I was size 48 with my mom to be sure..

Only 9 more lbs to where I used to be in high school..

I did 30 minutes of the couch 2 5k program today. It wasn't easy....I was out of breath alot. But the good news is, although my shins hurt a little, the pain isn't as bad as it once was! My shin's don't really hurt at all, its mostly just the ankles which ache a little bit, not too bad!

Man that was tough..I don't see how people can run a mile without stopping. Taking a breather, I'll keep ya'll updated.

Awesome job!! You should be SO proud!!
 
Great job on the loss, especially the inches in the stomach (thats the most important area to lose fat from).
 
Yep, just checked. Definitely a 1 inch difference! As a side note, I thought my ankles were feeling better. I was wrong...I did a quick jog to my door from the car on the street and now my whole ankle hurts..not the shin, just the whole ankle. Its not too bad of pain, but I'll take tomorrow off running and do the indoor bike tomorrow.


Going to have grilled corn on the cob with beef roast and salmon for dinner..oh did I mention we're putting "kara" sauce on the salmon?:reddevil:

Doyou have medical insurance? Your ankle has been bothing you for a while now, you should have it x-rayed to check for a fracture. I'm worried about it. Just sayin".

Inches lost is awesome! Wish I were in your shoes (except for the ankle thing)!
 
Thanks owl. I don't think my insurance will cover that..

Breakfast:
1 serving of soy beans (110)
1 serving of cherries (81)

1 serving of tofu (150)
1 corn on the cob (155)

Wow, this is a great diary. I love how much you actually list, including the calorie counts and the amount of exercising you do. (As well as the ups and downs you are encountering on your journey.)

I really wish you the best of luck with this, and I hope you reach your weight goal. Take care of yourself and don't get injured running!

One day I may pick up running, but I have such low endurance that I get tired just watching someone run or jog for long periods of time.
 
Hey-

I just found calories for corn on the cob-155. This is for one ear with butter- I hope it helps. I've gone to this web site myself (for things I wasn't sure on for calories and it's helped me out).

Here's the site:
 
Mirasha - Thank you for the support. I'll keep it up.

Confuzzledwife - Thanks for the information, I appreciate it!

I did an hour of cardio on the stationary bike today. It's driving my dad crazy because it squeaks when I use it. When I was doing it he tried to apply some WD40 to it and this paste stuff, but it still squeaks. Ah well.

Going to go do 30 minutes strength training on the wii now.

Current weight is 229 today as well.
 
Did 30 minutes of strength training on the wii....6 push ups and side planks is hard! I can do it, I try to do it twice when I'm working out. After I got out of a teen boot camp when I was a teenager, I lost about 36 lbs in 6 weeks. I came out in great shape, 171 lbs, I used to be able to do 30 clap push ups. I can probably do about 15 max now, but the side plank with it makes it even harder.

Breakfast:
1 serving of soy beans (110)
1 serving of cherries (81)
1 serving of raspberries (60)
1 serving of tofu (150)
1 corn on the cob (155)
Total: 556

Lunch:
Post-workout protein shake with milk (116 + 90 = 206 total)
Veggies (carrots, broccoli, peas, beans) (45)
Total: 251

Dinner:
Salad greens (40)
Salmon (100)
Tilapia (110)
Habanero cheese (220)
Gushers fruit snack (90)
Total: 340

Snack:
Nature valley roasted almon granola bar (190)
Total 1557

Mom decided not to make dinner tonight so I had some salad greens with fish...and some gushers.

Wow. You are just moving right along. I'm so happy for your progess! :)

Those planks are killer. It took me for-frickin'-ever to be able to hold a 30 second regular plank. In our Mat Pilates class a few weeks ago we did side planks on a block (one of those hard rubber/foam yoga blocks). Holy wow! Tough stuff.
 
You guys are the best, and I mean that. So supportive, thank you. I'm going to try to run tomorrow.

Rode the bicycle to walmart for 30 minutes...stopped by walmart and had a diet soda. The water must've been bad as it tasted nasty. Read some of Scientific American and Time magazine. Looked at god of war chains of olyumpus PSP game that I'm drooling over..dont' have the money for it right now unfortunately.

Frozen veggies microwaved...pea's, beans, carrots, broccoli and others. I have to say, I *hate* these particular veggies! in fact I don't like most veggies, but these are just nasty. But after eating them I feel SOOO great and energized, its worth it.

Well mom and dad decided they wanted domino's pizza again. ::sigh::, asked my mom why and she said 'just because she wanted to'. She got home from a hard day at work and was tired. I realize she's tired but told her it was an excuse and she could've chosen something healthier...sigh. It's so tempting for the family to buy an x large philly cheese steak pizza with cheese crust (426 cal per slice, I had 1), a chicken carbonara bread bowl, and a molten chocolate lava cake for dessert.

All I had was one slice. However, since I only had one slice, there will likely be pizza in the fridge waiting for me tomorrow..I'm going to have to resist no matter what. All I had was 1 slice, a salad, and blueberries. My mom had the bread bowl and the lava cake dessert. I don't know the calories on the lava bowl, since itis new, but here's the cal on the bread bowl to put into perspective:
"Chicken Carbonara: 740 calories per serving (1,480 for entire meal)"

Before I changed my ways I used to eat the whole bowl at one sitting. It was one of the few things that kept me stuffed. I haven't felt stuffed in a long time now, and only having 1 slice, I'm still hungry, even though i ate the salad and had some fruit with it.

We picked up some diet cherry pepsi too...at least its diet.
 
It is so hard when your family doesn't care about their eating habits. Kudos to you for sticking with one piece and adding in the salad and blueberries. Way to stick with your plan!

I agree with Kara.. it's great that you were able to have only one slice... I'm trying to keep the junk out of my house, but with 4 guys living with me (all of them thin by the way), I understand they want things like ice cream or cupcakes sometimes.. it's extremely hard for me some days knowing this stuff is here and I can eat it if I really wanted to.. and I have a husband who I guess likes his women fat because he's always offering me junk food - I've been very good so far, resisting this stuff.. I know that eventually I will want something, I'll just have to limit myself. Your attitude is awesome though.. :hurray:

If you don't have it your going to eventually drive yourself crazy and binge like mad. Just try and have some to 'fix' your craving but just have it in moderation, if you can.

I paid for eating that pizza. My weight is up 1.5 lbs because of probably the sodium in that pizza.
