My diary

Congrats on the loss! 147, I'm right behind you at 149 ;) You definitely deserve a little treat. Hope you think of something good! Isn't it nice to have clothes be too big for a change? I find it annoying that the pair of pants that fit me absolutely perfectly two months ago don't fit so well anymore, but am happy that it's not because they're too tight this time!
 
Monday 25

Good morning everyone.

Thanks guys! It make me happy that someone is watching my Diary. :)
I ended up ordering a lulu lemon shirt as my treat. It is one size smaller than i would have normally gotten at the store. So we will see. I havent really tried any new lulu shirts since I began to lose weight. Its not one with a built in bra or anything, more loose, so I can wear it after I lose the weight. And yes, its kind of nice to have bigger clothes lol, but I guess its hard being in the middle. You either buy new clothes or wait and buy them closer to the end. I am starting to make a list of waht id like to buy. I know my 27-30 olb goal may seem small to some, but I tell ya, its difference for sure. A lot of my work clothes don't fit anymore. They are still able to be worn for a little while longer though.
I am feeling alittle bloated today, so I wont be suprised if I havent dropped or even have gone up a bit. Its those times, so I have to keep that in mind.
I am going to down the water today.

So today is the day I will try and start to write out what I am eating.

Breakfast
Protein Shake
Apple

Lunch
Pineapple
Protein bar
Toast
1 tsp of margarine
2 peices of processed cheese- light.

Dinner
Extreme Pita
-Grilled chicken

Hello folks,


So today is the Wednesday weigh in. I am going to start calling it that.
I hope there is a change. On mondays check in, i was only down .2 from last week. I know that it is a change, but I really would like at least a pound. But I was bloated and all that on monday. So i have positive thoughts towards the weigh in.
I am going to Zumba today :) Its my favorite thing to do. Hot yoga will be tomorrow.
I did 20 minutes of turbo jam yesterday and then power cleaned the condo for about 20-30 minutes. Power clean for me is, tidying, dusting, vaccumning and then scrubbing the kitchen counters and dishes.

So for my food journal

Breakfast
Shake
1/2 grapefruit with 1 splenda packet

Lunch
Toast
1 tsp margarine
2 slices of processed cheese
protein bar

Snack
Kiwi

Dinner
Chicken w/seasoning

27 pt 2

So I did it! Down 1.8 from last week. I am now 144!! woo!! And 18.5 inches total!!
I can't imagine weighing another 13 lbs. I am so proud of all of you who are and who were working towards a weight loss goal. Its hard work and it is rewarding in many different ways.

So I am feeling blah today. A lot of stress with friends, family and such things. This is the type of thing that I would use as a reason to over eat. I am not giving in. I just wish people could figure things out for themselves and not expect me to do it for them. Ok rant done.

I am doing the fun friday weigh in today, we'll see how that goes. I did do a few classes this week, and even though its that time...i feel alright about weighing in.

I am going to try again to get up for that class tomorrow. I want to, but sleeping in a warm bed is so nice. lol

I am trying to write what I eat everyday, but I find it hard because i write it out in another book before entering on here.

I am going to do a class monday morning at my gym. That will be nice :)

Ill fill you in with the weigh in amount. Have a good friday!
 
TUesday

Hello
So I didnt post on the weekend. I did cheat a bit, a few peices of candy. I also had cheeseless pizza!!!! that was within my plan and so good. I did a weigh in yesterday and I actually lost .4. I was pretty happy.
I got into a fight with my sister in law yesterday. Well not a fight but an arguement. She was upset because she hadnt lsot weight in two weeks. I tried to explain to her that it gets harder as you get closer to your goal. You need to try a little harder and so on. As well as she doesnt eat a consistant amount. She will be at my house and she'll be like, "oh i still have 900 calories left" I tell her so many times, you cant do that. You get to a point where your bosy wont lose any because of that. Its the same issue I had before i stuck to program. I would eat a lot one day and hardly anything the next. So she was mad at me for telling her that. I didnt say it in a mean way, i just said "nic, maybe you should consider eating more through out the day and not end up with a huge amoutn that you wont eat." She got very defensive. I love helping. BUt when people ask for adivse help (because its workign for me) And get angry. I no longer care. I am not going to help anymore. Its a very negative thing and I dont need that. I need to be positive and concentrate on doing what I need to do.

I went to a zumba class yesterday too, that was awesome!
 
Thursday

So today is the day after weigh in wednesday. So not a big drop at my weigh in. Only .6.. What ever, its a loss and I should be happy. I also dropped another inch and a bit. I have to switch the diet up a bit because i am getting jsut over the halfway point and I hear it gets a bit harder as you get closer to the goal. The only time i really "cheat" is when my fiance gives me a taste of something. I ask him lol. But other things I can change would be, trying less fat salad dressing, or drink more water (on top of my 2 litres). I drank an extra half a litre yesterday so ive already started.
I went to Zumba last night. It was a great class. I love going. I had to go alone though. My sister in law was suppose to go, but i never heard from her. See in an earlier post i talked about people who are in your life but dont support you the way you want. I support her 100%. I am always helping her, giving her my ears, but she doesnt do that ever for me. I am really sorry to rant about her. I need to find someone with the same goals as me and likes my support and gives it back to me. My finace is like that but he doesnt enjoy working out with me lol.
I wont be going to yoga tonight, i dont think. My fiance is going to buy a truck and hes narrowed it down to two, so we are going to look tonight and perhaps buy. I will probably do a quick home workout and then do yoga tomorrow. :)
Anyways tomorrow is that friday weigh in, we'll see if I can bring the nuimber down a little and hopefully come out with at least 1.5 lbs next wednesday :)
 
Just checking in, and I see that you are doing GREAT! All those classes must be so fun, it's great when you can find something that doesn't just feel like work, and yet is so beneficial. I can relate to wanting someone who is both supportive and on the same journey as you, my live-in boyfriend sounds like your fiance... really happy to provide encouragement, but not so much into the working out, haha.
 
Hey schmoops,
You're doing so well!
I think it's great you rewarded yourself with the new top, because every time you wear it, it will bring a smile to you and will remind you of where all your hard work has got you.
I love the sound of your hot yoga!!! My mate does Zumba and absolutely loves it, have to say it does sound fun :)
Keep up the great job!


Jess
 
Thanks and Monday

Thanks ladies! I love seeing posts. :)
Laura F- Yea he'll do workout type things if its something he enjoys but other than that, i am on my own. I dont mind though.
Healthyjess- Thanks for posting! Since I bought that top, I actually went and bought some more clothing. lol. Pants, sweater etc. I find it fair enough, bcause nothing really is fitting anymore. But having to buy new things for a good reason is always good.

So today I am going to Zumba. I wasn't the best on program this weekend. not too bad though. I feel as if this monday weigh in, wont be what I would like to see.

So far the journy hasnt been that bad, but I feel like its going to take little more from now on to get the results I want. I dont ahve much else to say today. Work is crazy busy.

Hope everyone is having a great monday!
 
Hi and rant

Zumba was awesome! :) I love sweating. It sounds gross but its a great feeling. I have a little rant today.
I was reading a "not to be named" post. And they were being given advice, helpful tips and such things and totally disagreeing with everything. Not even just saying "oh i should try that, or I have tried that and it doesnt work for me." Instead it was a lot of "I dont care or I never do that!" Well isnt that why we come here? So that people on the same journey and people who have accomplished their goals can help out? Many of people on this site know what they are talking about. Results are a huge painted picture of that. I mean there is a reason people come here. Its because they need to change their lifestyles or even drop a few pounds. If you dont want help or you knew everything there was to know about weight loss, then you wouldnt be here.
Ok rant done.
Like I have said in earlier posts, I personally love helping people but I love to help the people who want it.

So I did that monday weigh in and I looked at the girl and said "Boo, up . 4" She said noo...you are down .4. LOL so good thing I have someone to monitor it lol. Or I would be going no where. So that was a good push for the day. Doing the Zumba class was another step in the right direction.

I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Todays food so far
Breakfast
Protein shake
1 manderine orange

Snack
1 manderine range

Lunch
Protein bar
2 slices of cheese
2 arrowroot cookies
1/2 tbsp of sugar free, unsalted peanut butter (suprisingly very tasty)
 
Wednesday

So I had cheeseless pizza last night. One peice too many in my opinion. I could have stopped but had that one more. I guess its one peice. And they aren't huge peices. Oh well. I am nervous because I dont think i have hit below 140 for my weigh in today. I guess even if I am in that general area and have a big boosted loss next week. I will be happy.
I am having a groughy day. I wanted to eat a snack (when i was not hungry) So I opted for half of my normal lunch protein bar.
I dont have much to say today.

Breakfast
Shake

Snack
Manderine Orange

Lunch
Peanut butter on bread (Saltless and sugarfree)- and dempsters diet bread
1 cup of cherry tomatoes

Snack
Manderine orange

And I am not sure about dinner yet.

Have a good hump day. And I if dont post tomorrow have a great rememberance day and think of all of those who have lost their lives for us and the ones who are still around. :)

Hahaha, I did the same thing during my first weigh-in! I complained to the boyfriend I hadn't lost anything and he looked at me like I was a moron, hahaha. Glad I'm not the only one!
 
Monday 15

Hello Everyone!

Laura F- Too funny! I think it could be that we are looking for a fail. I find that I will low ball myself and when i see results its exciting. Not the best thing, because during that time, you will not so good.

Thats my thing today. I was hoping to be at a certian weight for Wednesday and according to fridays weigh in, I could have made it...but I cheated on the weekend. Not a huge amount but not waht I should be eating.

So Ive decided to give myself a kick butt this week. 3 classes and then 2-3 of my own workouts. I really need a good number to make sure I am still on track. I dont want to become less motivated because I didnt like the scale number.

I know I can do it!

Tonight we are having turkey meatballs with one serving of pasta and shopped up tomatoes and veggies as the sauce.... mmm
 
Snow!

First Snowfall in Calgary...well that is significant. 10-20 cm and still snowing AND more to come. Thinking positive, ski season!!! Woo hoo!!! I love skiing. Lake Louise, Sunshine, etc... All close to my house. Soooo I am ready for it. I used to hate winter but now I embrace it. I went and bought all new ski gear, new Columbia Jacket, matching ski pants and nice big, warm ski mitts. I have to get all new, because all the ones from last year are too big!!

So I ate wayyyy better yesterday. No cheating. I am very happy with myself :). And I went to Zumba!! So much fun.

I went for that Monday weigh in. Not as bad as I thought. Not as low as Friday, but I never count fridays. From last wednesday I was down 1 lb. So thats nice to see. I am a little behind goal wise, but not far. I should technically have lost 2.8 tomorrow to keep up, but thats unrealistic. I figure working a little hard and instad of 1.5, maybe I can have 1.7 or 1.8 and then that extra .2-.3 can be added and I will catch up. I am thinking wayyy too much into this but it excites me :)

I have a new favorite thing to eat. I get tomatoes, garlic, onions little water and put those into a sauce pan and let simmer, then just under 1 cup of whole wheat pasta and 4 turkey meatballs. Soooo good mmmmm. I want some again tonight lol jk

Anyways Happy Tuesday!
 
Wednesday

Today is the day. The "recorded" weight day. I dont feel overly confident today. I dont like ive lost much, but anything is something :)
I am feeling grouchy today lol. My finace woke up and started talking to me...PS Schmoops...needs her sleep lol.
I did alright with eating last night. I did have a two peices of cheeseless pizza. So not bad but could have been better. I dont get the regular crust..only the thin and crispy one. mm

Its really cold here today. I want to get a steamed milk after work :)

I dont have much to say.. So i will bid you farewell for now.

xoxo
 
Thursday

So I didnt see exactly what I wanted on the scale. I really wanted to see a 130 number. preferably 139.9 lol. Oh well I got a 140.4, and I am jsut as happy. I had a few bad days last weekend, so I understand. I am still proud of myself. I didnt go to zumba like i normally do. It took me an hour and a half to get home yesterday and then i still had to go home and make dinner. So i didnt get to the class, but i did a Turbo Jam video at home. So I feel better about that.
I ate fairly well last night and all day.
