so I ve been lurking around for a couple weeks... and finally got the courage to start writting this journal..

I gotta say i m afraid of boring you guys out .... cause i m not that interesting.

well i ve started working out at the gym about a month ago... and at 1st I started gaining weight. It was sooo frustrating and all I wanted was to give up.
i dont know if it s the week or cause im more careful of what i m eating but i lost 7 pounds since monday :)
so yeah my trainer kills me when i see her ... and I can complain a lot but in the end I always do what she asks and it s finally paying off :)
so you ll probably hear me vent a lot about my trainer lol but it s all in good fun and just to put my frustration down :p

my journey here is to lose weight yes but it s mainly to get healthy again. I gained so much weight troughout my 8 year relationship that I not only lost myself but i also lost my confidence. And i really want to get that back!

Therefore this is mainly a journey to get stronger and I sure hope i ll find people here that are willing to vent with me but also give me their honnest opinion on things

My name is Ally btw and i m really happy to have joined this new community :waving:
 
Welcome to the forum:):) Congrats on loosing 7pounds thats amazing:):)
What is your current weight and what is your goal weight?

You are doing a fab job, keep it up chick:)
 
Hey Ally!

Definitely can understand how you can put on weight in a relationship... I always went into a relationship in decent shape and then come out of one 20lb heavier! Mine were much shorter than 8 years so I can't imagine what would happen if I was in one that long!

I'm looking to get back in shape too, improve my self-confidence and just feel better in general - I had a foot injury and want to drop some weight to help it out :)

You're off to a great start, and don't worry about being 'boring'. My breakfast for my entire diary has been the same thing since I started...now -that's- boring!

Keep up the good work and let these forums help you stay focused!

It's SO HARD to be in a relationship and stay fit. My boyfriend has finally started coming around, I think because he sees me shrinking. He said that I would be out of his league now, which I probably could have been offended by but I chose to be flattered.

I bought a food scale with so many foods already stored in it with assigned codes (Perfect Portion food scale, bed bath and beyond). He has started counting calories too! And he goes to the gym with me.. mostly because I walk there and need a ride back, but as long as it gets him moving. But getting comfortable in a relationship, or in anything in life is hard. You get comfortable in your job, performance starts to go down... relationship gets comfortable, the standards fall a little and you're not so worried about impressing him. You get comfortable at the gym in your routine, and ti stops working... UGH!!!!

I try to think of other reasons why I might want to lose weight to help. Right now, spring break next year is a big motivator because I want to buy lots of new bathing suits and look super hot, even if my boyfriend likes my body. There will still be hundreds of other people around judging judging judging, and you want to look the best and be confident.
 
Well ... gotta say I m no longer in that relationship... and maybe one day I ll talk about it! but the relationship weight is coming off :p


so DAY 2 of my journal WOOT WOOT!!!

Weight in the am: 163.0 so i m .6 down today yeahhh

Chelsea you are definitelly right about trying not to get comfortable ... that s why i have a personnal trainer at the gym... yes she is annoying lol

Today i went for my 1hr30 workout.... men everyday she keeps on increasing my intensity of EVERYTHING!!! I mean am i not suppose to get use to it before I increase it to a harder level!
so what did i do:
30 min treadmill ( intervals 3 min run at 9 and 1 min walk at 6)
I sweat so much it s disgusting!!!! i mean my tshirt is definitelly another color when I m done! YUCK

Then i do 2 rounds of strengh training... i wont bore u with the details lol

and To finish it up with a cherry on the sunday i had 10 min of bicycle intervals again doing it faster for 2 min relax 1 min....


My fav part of the gym is after when i go in the steam room!!! Did u guys ever go in one of those... I m not sure the benefit on it but man it s soooo relaxing. ( specially when there isnt too many people in it cause some people are wayyy too comfortable with their own bodies ... but hey we might not all wanna see it lol ok ok maybe when i m 30 pds lighter i ll walk around naked ... keep u posted on that one :p )

I took a nice walk home after and was starving!!!! so i stopped at the grocery store and got a nice big steak!!!! so yup that was my dinner ... my little cheat is that i had diet pepsi! num num ( i try to stay away from it )


btw thanks guys for stopping by :)

now I m going to lurk at yours:p

Good job with the trainer - I HATED mine when I had one. Worked me half to death!!! I just couldn't keep up with it..and dreaded it so much! I went with what was comfortable (and easier) just because it was something I could keep doing regularly without quitting!!! I admire anyone that can keep up with a personal trainer!! That's some willpower right there!

I have been in steam rooms, but no one was ever naked in them from what I remember! I love that feeling after a good workout and just getting showered up and clean. Feel so good for the rest of the day :)

Keep it up, Ally and one day, I'd love to hear about your relationship :D
 
Ahh I love saunas.. where you pour the rocks on the water and at first it's not so bad, but then you start sweating... until you can't take it anymore. Then jump in a cold shower. Best feeling.

Writing down my foods has definitely helped a lot. It helps keep me accountable. So I won't eat something and rationalize it to myself, I have to rationalize it to a whole board of people who want me to lose weight and who I want to lose weight with!!!!
 
so today DAY 3

weight in : 160.8 !!!!
I cant believe it ! i even had to weight at the gym.
Maybe cause it s so hot out and i m working out but it s a lot in one day :) not that i m complaining.

so A little more about myself... about 2 years ago i was actually even heavier... I was 215!!! It was the highest worst weight i had ever been on.
Then I became single and well the pounds were just coming off without me doing anything! I dont know why it was just like that maybe cause i wasmt eating out as I use to with him ... maybe cause he had the perfect metabolism making him eat whatever he wanted whenever he wanted and i was eating with him but i was putting weight on.
This relationship lasted 8 years so u can see how the pounds pilled up. So i went down to 170 ... but i was doing the wave between 170 and 175 plateau at that weight until a few weeks ago i decided to do something about it.

Joined the gym about 2 month ago maybe less but was eating like crazy!!! so my weight was going up from toning and getting use to it i guess.. so u dont know how happy i am now that it s actually coming off!!!! yes it seems fast loss in a week lol but it s really been 4 weeks that i m training like 4 to 5 times a week and this week actually paying attention to my food :)

And ken the reason why i have a personal trainer is because I have no will power !!! lol If he s waiting for me I have no choice to go at the gym.... or else i d probably hit a terrasse and have a drink instead of sweating it out lol

food intake so far:
breaky : omelette

lunch after gym : pork chop with a cucumber salad


ohh yeah this am i had a gym class... it s actually super fun cause it s like a dance cardio class... my teacher is just hilarious.... definitelly gay everytime u get out of there even thaugh u r red as a tomatoe and all wet you just feel like saying FABULOUS!!! LOL

OK enough of my rambling... sorry guys :)
now lets see what u guys been up to... gonna do my rounds ;p
 
Awh chick, im just checking in on you and your doing an AMAZING JOB, well done!!! Cant believe you have a personal trainer!! Im super jealous of you for that:(:(:( The weight is gonna fall off you because you're working so hard!! I need to start exercising, i dont even go to the gym!!!


Keep up the fab work hun:)

This would be one of the reasons I would get a personal trainer if I could afford it. I would feel so bad and guilty if I didn't show up. LOL! The second I left though....I'd bitch like crazy about how horrible it was!! HAHAHA!


Sounds like you're doing a great job.. Keep it up!!! :)

Hey Ally!!

Congrats on the 15x. That is some milestone! You are doing so well.

Your story sounds very similar to mine. My highest weight was 215-220.

I worked my way down to 180. Found a girl who had wonderful metabolism and we ate out all the time. I ate myself back up to 195! Now that I'm single again of course...I have to work my way back down.

Curse those high-metabolism folks!! ;)

Keep up the stunning work, Ally. I might stop reading your diary because I am not moving as fast as you and it makes me depressed!!!

-Ken
 
So I think I might be back in the 15x with you!!! We gotta stay here. No moving up for us. I hate the 15x, I have been here before and gotten stuck and given up... not this time!

Nice work on getting up early and going to the gym. I am just not that motivated. Maybe once I am in better shape and I get down into the 14x I will feel like it, but for right now I have to stick with lunch walks and evening workouts. I kind of like working out at night though, because we get home from work around 430pm, and I make dinner and we are finished by 545pm, and then we sit around for about an hour and then I go to the gym. So I don't ever eat late and have to go to bed with a full stomach :/ I hate that feeling!

I know the feeling. I too get sore and so tired I don't want to get out of bed, but the weight loss makes it worth it. Keep up the good work!
