Natasha's Diary: In it to win it...

Thank you for that Karl... I'm going to start doing them tonight. Just with my weight... I used to do weight lifting alot when I was in highschool, but that's been about 8-9 years ago... and I kinda forgot :) Better to be safe then sorry ya know... I'm going to paste my percentages from fit day below... I had 1423 calories today and wanted to know if my percentages looked pretty good or if I need to back anything down... Not too sure about all this and can't seem to get a clear answer as to how the percentages should look for the day...
Fat (33%) Carbs (42%)
Protein (26%) Alcohol (0%)
Any critiquing or advice would really help, and I would appreciate it... I'm going to walk 3 miles tonight, do the squats/glute work outs and work my upper body with my 5 lb weights (might try to do 3sets of each 3 for total of 9 sets)... And throw in some crunches while I'm at it (about 50 upper, 25 oblique, and 25 lower) :) I seem to have alot of energy today... and it was a busy day... I seem to feel that way the day after eating pasta though :) So... there's my update for the day... Now I'm off to check in on some diaries.. :seeya: Natasha
 
I don't really know anything about % for food. I have read a few things on how much fat and carbs etc your supposed to have in a day. My range was 40-70 fat and like 220-280 carbs. I try to hit 100 protein and 25 fiber too. I don't think I'll have to cut my fat and carbs to low till maybe the last 10-15 pounds just cause those will be the hardiest to lose.

I searched online for how many _____ you should have in a day when losing weight and averaged out what I found.

Your food and workouts are looking great, your doing awesome. :seeya:
 
Okay... so I found a new really great site, similar to this... sparkpeople... it has awesome tools, it has a food tracker, excercise tracker, etc... all in one site and it gives you a personalized diet or you can enter your foods and it tells you exactly how much of what you should be eating and if you're in your range when you're done entering for the day... also the people there are very nice... if anyone's interested in checking out my page on there... its under comamasprincess It is really great! But I have to keep coming back here for all of you my wonderful supportive friends!!! I really do recommend that site though and if any of you join, find me and add me as a friend...
Okay, so now down to business.. I walked around the whole denver zoo today, while carrying, playing, pulling kids around... it was great! A pretty good work out too and it was hotter than a jalapenos coochie out there!!! LOL! but yeah it was frkin hot! So I weighed in this morning and my weight was....(drumroll) 249Oh Yeah *doing a happy dance* Go Tasha, your out of the 250's! :hurray: I'm so proud of myself... And my calories have been great... I did find out that how I've been eating is fine, actually more than fine, great, I have been staying within my ideal measurements for everything according to my weight, so that's a big relief!!! Well, thank you Solty for stopping by and offering your advice... I know now how to tell the easier way... so I'm totally :coolgleamA: I also lifted weights this morning and I did some butt excercises... My ass still hurts! But my arms don't feel like spaghetti anymore... so that's good :) Anyhow... until tomorrow.. :seeya: Natasha
 
Hey there popping in for a second. RE: your ratios. There is a train of thought that has certainly seen some press about a ratio of 40/30/30 that a lot of diet/exercise people seem to like. 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat if you are exercising.. It isn't the easiest thing to get right. Your percentages are actually pretty close to that.
 
Congrats on 149!!

I went to spark people and made an account but there is a lot of stuff to learn on there. Its under soltyrei.. I don't know how to find and friend people lol.
 
Hello everyone!!! I'm sorry I haven't been in here for a while... I've been on sp, but haven't really had a chance to get caught up in here... Well, I'm doing well so far... I've gotten down measurement wise, I've joined a gym and work out most... about 6 days a week every morning at 5, I've been doing good on my portions and my foods :) I've just been going through alot... Alot, Alot, Alot... Kinda bummed, but it's not affecting how much I want to lose this weight and how hard i'm going to work to lose it... So that's my reader's digest version of how things have been going...

Solty and Karl, thanks for stopping by :) I know it's alot to learn at first and looks intimidating on SP Solty, but I found you and befriended you... it takes a lil bit of homework to figure it out, but when you do, it's worth it... I'm still here though, and I'll keep checking in on here to see what's going on in here... so until next time... :seeya:

Okay... I cheated and weighed myself today... down another 2 lbs!!! Whoo hoo!!! So I'm now at 247! Well, I went to go get my son today in Walsenburg, he's been with my mom since Monday... I missed him so much!!! That's a long drive though!!! 3 hours down and 3 hours back!!! At least he's home and I got to see my mama for a while ;) I didn't end up working out this morning, my partner's kid got hurt, so she couldn't go and I didn't want our days to be off, so I just didn't go... but we'll be going again tomorrow :) So I've been going through some rough... really really really rough times with my marriage... I don't really have too many friends anymore because of my husband, so i'm just gonna post this on here for support.. I have been with him for 8 years, since I was 17... he doesn't trust me, he always says he's going to be supportive and then does the complete opposite and we have nothing in common and it seems like lately (actually since we officially said I DO last year) that all we do is fight.. we don't ya know... do anything in the room for months sometimes... we don't talk about anything besides our son, we never take any time to go on a date or do things by ourselves because he never wants to... I just don't know anymore... I've tried everything, lets go see a counselor... lets go on a date once a week or at least once a month.. I don't really leave the house so he doesn't freak out and wonder where I am and accuse me of anything... it's really just getting old!!! I want to live a happy and healthy life and I just don't understand why after 8 years, things get worse and harder instead of easier.. wer're talking about the big D... I just don't see any other solution if he doesn't want to meet me half way... I can't always carry the whole load of our marriage and him do nothing but fight with me... I think that a D would be for the best... then he won't be miserable, and neither will I... also our son won't see us always fighting and not know what love is because his parents can't get along or do anything nice together... It's just frustrating, and it hurts... but I think I'm beginning to accept it... I know that he sees it too and pretty much agrees with me... So, this is the hard thing I've been going through... I'm sorry to vent it here, but like I said, I don't really have too many friends that I can vent to... The few I do have are super busy and I'd hate to bother them... even if nobody reads this.. it feels good to just write it down and get it off my chest... If anyone is reading this... please keep me in your prayers..

Congrats on 2 more pounds gone forever!!

I am sorry to hear you are going through a tough time right now with your marriage. It sounds like you have tried to fix things, and offer him ways you two could talk things out. Has he ever told you what his problem is, why he's not happy? It does seem odd that after 8 years he would become so unhappy. my mind always wanders to the grass is greener theory. You have to do whats best for you and your son. I'm proud that you are strong enough to talk about the big D. stay strong girly!
 
Hey, girl!

Sorry to read that you're having martial problems. Someone once told me to be the change I wanted to see. It really helped me to find myself. I made a list of everything that bothers me about people, and consciously decided to do the opposite.

For example, I hated how my boyfriend at the time didn't romance me. He was pretty antisocial, and awkward. When I came to this resentment, I decided to romance my friend. We had a really great time! I cooked her dinner, lit candles, listened to music and had a whole bunch of laughs!

If you feel like your husband's taking your friends away ... romance strangers randomly and keep it as a secret.

And, remember everything is temporary -- this will all pass.
 
Hey girl. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with your husband. I'm also sorry I don't have any advice to give, since I've never actually been in a relationship. :(
Things'll get better though, tough it out and you'll be a better person for the experiences you've had.

I haven't really been on much, I've been too busy gaining 20 lbs and hating myself for it. I ate 3 scoops of ice cream, a bowl of whipped cream, a vanilla milkshake, and burger king nuggets and french fries (medium-sized) all within the past couple hours. It's getting really ridiculous.

I hope things get better for you!! I know they will. :)

<3 Annie
 
Hey Natasha...I hope life is treating you better than the last time you posted in here. I've been thinking about you and want you to know that if you ever happen to come back in here and I'm not around you can find me on here: I started a new journey over there after I had my daughter last May. This is the link to my journal: Well, I miss you and hope and pray that you are doing well. :hug2:
