My diary

So I have decided to start a diary. I didn't want to at first because I didn't want to share with people if what i was doing, wasn't working.
I know I might hear somethings about what I am doing in a negative but its working for me. I actually am getting married a year today and was at a bridal expo a few weeks ago when I saw a herbal magic booth. My mom, maid of honor and I spun this prize wheel and I actually won a years free program. And if anyone doesn't know, thats a huge saving!
So I went for a consult and talked with the lady, I really like her. I asked about the pills I had heard about and she said that they are natural but I still didn't want anything to do with that. So she told me about a program with protein shakes and bars. I have those once a day each and then I follow the canadian food guide. I am really loving it. I am never hungry and I am eating less. I actually had a big loss the first week and got a star of the week. :) I lost 6 lbs the first week. Its slowed down now but to about 1.5 a week. I am going to try a post often.
So here we go.
 
Pic

Soooo... A girl at work was looking through pictures from a wedding shower we had in our office and there is a picture of me and she was saying how she didnt recognize me. I am not sure how much i weighed in the photo, but i can see a difference. This was probably in may or April.
 
Saturday

I went to weigh in last night and lost another 1.4 lbs. I was very excited. I havent been 150 in a long time. I will be the most excited when I hit the 140's. The last time I put real effort into losing weight, I made post it notes and wrote 5 lb goals (155, 150, 145 etc) and got to rip off the 155 but never 15. So this is huge for me.
So far today I have had half a banana and I am currently drinking my protein shake. I am going to probably do a Turbo Jam video today. I am glad I have my videos, my treadmill and such things at home. As much as I love my gym, certain times are soooo busy. At least I have alternate options.
 
The monday after

I have been doing really well on my program. The hardest part is goiong to peoples houses for dinner. I find it very easy to say no to going out to a restraunt, but when friends call up and ask to have dinner its so hard. I have sometimes asked to do other things like go to a movie or go out to somewhere that i know and can pick healthy options. But eating at houses is a tough one. We went out to my fiances moms on saturday and our friends house yesterday. Saturday wasnt bad because his mom always makes tons of different food and they eat fairly healthy themselves. But at our friends house she made manicotti (spelling?) with garlic bread and salad. So i loaded my plate with salad and had a vinigarette (not much) then i only had one manicotti while everyone else had 2 or three and then one small peice of bread. Considering that was all that was there, i think i did quite well. I also drank tons of water with it and after and did Jillian michaels 30 day shred and hulahopped for another 20 minutes. I have a weigh in tonight so we will see how bad I did. lol. Its okay though, I really count wednesday weighins because they are the week point, every week.

I am hoping to break 150 this week. Its so important to me, as I havnet been this low.. so fingers crossed!
 
Okay...and the weight is...

150. I didnt break the 150 at my weigh in today, but I had a tempting weekend and did have the random cheating. Like I said eating at someones house is more difficult.
I was talking to the lady i go to and she said she knows I can do it this week. I am very excited. She is very motivational to me.

So today,

Breakfast:
Cheerios with 1% milk
Protein Shake

Lunch:
Protein bar
1/2 grapefuit with splenda

Snack:
Tea with an apple

Dinner:
5 oz Chicken (lemon and fresh dill)

About last night

OK rant!
So I tried out a new yoga studio. I had bought a pass for 20 and its for 20 classes. Great deal, so i thought why not...
It was horrible. I dont mean to sound rude, but I am really into yoga and i know what I am doing for the most part.
I ususally do vinyasa flow hot yoga. Its amazing to me. Well this is birkram hot yoga. Its easier than vinyasa flow and I have done it at another studio.
So at this new one, the teacher was awful. She was calling people out, talking wayyyyyy tooooo much. She was making me angry. It was taking her way too long to explain anything. So because i know the poses, i decided to go into them instead of sitting there watching her talk. Other people were doing the same and she was like...WAIT FOR ME!!
I was appauled. Her attire was horrid too. She was wearing a tanktop(wayyy too small for her) and then booty shorts...and those were too small. I have nothing against weight or anything like that, but please, you are representing your studio and teaching people who look up to you. Wear something appropriate. Near the end, she didnt bring a watch in, so she kept opening up the doors and going outside and going in again!!
So by the end I was so upset with her I felt sick to my stomach..that never happens to me. Not a relaxing class at all.

Ok rant over.

Friday

This is always a big weekend for Canadians. Thanks giving!! I am actually not a huge fan of the stuffing, overstuffing deal. So i dont think itll be a huge challenge. I am going camping for dinner this year. Last year we went but it was freezing. This year, it'll be good.
I had today off of work, I did running around and dinner time rolls around and everyone is having fast food so I decided I wanted one of my favs, vietnamese soup. I am having medium rare beef noodle soup. I have count that as a lot according to my plan. I have to drink tons of water after to flush out the sodium. I really dont want to have a gain this coming week.
I went and weighed in today at the place and another pound down!!! wooot!
I wqas so excited to see that.
 
Oh the weekend

So this weekend didnt go as well as ihad planned. I tried to stay on the plan and for the most part, i did. But i had pumpkin pie, marshmellows etc. I am not very happy. And i know i shouldnt beat myself but I had just hit a 10 lb mark, and i scared to see the damage.
It's okay though. I am drinking tons of water and moving around a lot more.
Being thanksgiving, I find it suiting to say what I am thinkful for:
My fiance Jason, My mom, my nana, my brothers, dad, Nicole, and that whole side of the family as well as my whole family.
I love them all and wish them the best.
 
Your right, don't beat yourself up, we all have slip up and fail to meet our goals. Just take note of what could be done better and try to avoid making the same mistake next time.
 
:)

Thanks Trusylver!
Its nice to have people popping and reading the diaries. Those type of comments mean a lot to me.
I had another dinner last night, but i think i did alright.
I am going to weigh in today. I hope there wasnt any damage. I don't feel bad because I had a great weekend and was very active.
I started a new job today and so things are a tad hectic. Luckily it was a promotion in the company, so most things are the same to me and my friends are still around :)
Oh! And the department I was working was more casual because we didnt have to work directly with clients, but this posistion i do...so I pulled out my old work pants and holey moley...they are huge!! lol. Well maybe not drowning in them...but i really need new work clothes lol
 
Today

Hello,

So I did go up a pound today, but i am sure i can work it off pretty quick. I am going to try extra hard.
I got a new blackberry today because my fiance broke his phone and my phone was also available for an upgrade so I got a new curve.

Today, i did really well with eating. no cheating!!!

Ok monday... So the weekend didnt go the best. I didnt go over board either, but I just feel like i am slipping. I am going to take it one day at a time and remember everyday is a new day. I didnt do the best on saturday, so I tried better yesterday and today.
I weigh in today, but again its not my weekly one, so if its not exactly what I want to see. So I will use whatever it is as a wake up call and get my booty moving.
This week, I am going to do 2 zumbas and a hot yoga. I also did a workout last night too. We will see.
I wish everyone a happy monday!
 
Okay

So Monday i did a weigh in and compared the the previous wednesday, I hadnt lost any. I am now determined to do this. I need to push just a little harder. I am just happy I am not gaining for a change. But still, hard work will pay off. So I weigh in today and today is the one that I count. So hopefully there is a drop. Maybe not a huge one, but something.
I did Biggest losers weight loss yoga last night. You can pick the workout you want on the dvd, so I did warm up, Level 1, level 2 and my own cool down (remembering from my class that I go to every week) It was a nice calm workout, but I still worked hard and had sweat dripping.

I am going to Zumba today. I was suppose to go yesterday, but I was ditched. Normally that wouldnt stop me, but i was only going to the specific class because my mother in law and sister in law wanted to go. And they bailed. I take it more seriously than they do. I plan out waht Id like to accomplish for the week and Its just dissappointed. They've done it a few times to me. I dont think they mean it on purpose but like I said they arent as serious as I am.

I am going to go and do my normal hot yoga class tomorrow. I am really excited.

Have a good day everyone and I will type more later.
 
Good Morning

Hello Folks,

Well I did it. I broke past that 147 mark.:auto: I tried that much harder, enough where it made a difference. I weighed in last night, which is my counted weigh in day and sure enough 2 lbs down. I also had her do measurements. 14.5 inches. I have lost over a foot of inches. nice!

I had one disheartening thing though. I was so excited. I had texted a few people in my life that i had hit that point. Not one person got back to me. My to be sister in law, who everytime loses any weight, i cheer and congratulate, didnt text me back. So I texted her asking if she wanted to do that Zumba class and sure enough texts me right away.... I read a book about people like this. They may be a positive being in your life, but they arent as supportive as we may need. So I am now taking that and keeping it in mind. I will still cheer her on, but I wont expect the same in return. She is a very obsessive person with her weight and I have been there all the time for her, i just wish that she would be a little excited for me, not jealous or upset with herself. Thankfully I do have other people I can turn to. :)

I am going to hot yoga tonight. I love it so much. I have to get new yoga stuff though. All my clothes are getting too big.

Also, I was thinking about buying myself something special as a half way mark. It might be clothes, but I am thinking something I would never normally buy and that I can have to remind me that I wasnt happy before but I am now.
