Rachel's New Habits

Although its really annoying at the time, I think moments of weakness can be a good thing.
Two weeks ago I had a mega binge for 2 days and felt sick! But this motivated me more than anything and for the past 15 days I haven't binged at all or cheated because I know how rubbish it made me feel..so in the end it was the push I needed. Hope you can make it work for you too :)
 
Thanks for the encouragement Kirsty!

O.K. I still haven't gotten back on track and I'm really frustrated with myself. I woke up this morning and had a non-dairy ice cream sandwich instead of breakfast! I haven't totally dropped the ball with exercising, yesterday I walked briskly for over seven miles and the day before that I completed a one hour workout on the stationary bike.

I even had a dream last night about ice cream! How obsessed am I?

Every time I don't do what I'm supposed to do, it becomes easier for me to do the wrong thing next time. I don't know, I guess I'm going to read through the forums and try to get motivated and excited about achieving my goals again.
 
I have also upped my exercise to 2 to 3 hours a day, and I also do not see any changes in the scales (yet), but I can see some differences in the mirror or at least in the way I perceive myself and that is very important. So don't give up even if the pounds are not budging! Oh and I am also addicted to ice cream! :(
You are awesome, by the way! Keep going the way you are, have a wonderful weekend, Camy
 
The Return of Rachel Anne

Alright folks I'm back in the game! After I wrote that last entry, I went to the freezer, took out my precious ice cream sandwiches, and TRASHED THEM!!

Then I remembered that I vowed to record all of my food on fitday and so I had to fish out the package.
The ice cream sandwich was only 168 calories. I was going to make myself feel like total crap for a 168 calorie mistake?? Not a chance.

So I recorded my food and did 55 minutes of power yoga.

Basically, I want to be a happy person and a source of light for people around me. When I am fat and eating poorly, I am too lethargic and morose to accomplish what I want to do in life. I can't be a good friend, a productive member of society, or even have enough energy to chase after the myriad possibilities in life.
 
So I'm having trouble writing down everything I'm eating. Today my goal is to record all of my foods on fitday. I've been keeping up with the exercising, but I still want to step it up a bit.
 
I missed this journal! New Goals!

I haven't posted forever. Basically, I stopped watching what I ate, joined a gym, and now I go about 3 days a week and do some exercises at home.
To be honest, I've been in a slump lately and I want to do something really great for myself to end the year.

So I've decided to do a yoga video every day until Jan 1, 2010. I'm going to keep up my 3-4 days a week at the gym as well. I'm also going to be very conscious of what I'm eating, but recording everything was sooo demotivating and painful for me so I eventually just quit.

Also, I missed offering and getting support from you forum members! I will post more later!

Day 1: one yoga video: Yoga Beauty Body
 
Hey welcome back.
At least you've still been going to the gym and haven't fallen off the wagon!
And good luck with the yoga, I love it because it doesn't really feel like exercise :)
 
Hey RachelAnne. I'm like you in that I'm mainly hoping to lose a little weight through exercise - not much of a gym bunny but I train competitively for triathlon.

I've only just joined the forum but posting has certainly helped me stay away from chocolate, ice cream and cakes for today so far.
You are doing plenty of exercise though and going to the gym is v good for burning fat everywhere if you change the machines. Keep us updated.
 
Oh Noes, where did you go?

Hi Rachelanne,

I saw you post on a vegetarian forum that you were a vegan so I decided to come look at your thread for some inspiration, and boy did I find it.

Hehe this was one of my favorite excerpts:

"My diet and exercise plan is one of many different self-improvement plans I'm undertaking. Instead of focusing on the weight loss, I'm trying to see myself as an athlete who is exercising because I want to maintain health and also because I enjoy it. This is a bit of a stretch, but I keep telling myself: I am an athlete who is in training, that is why I have to exercise today."

Lol I love to tell myself that I'm a machine and can do anything, and I see myself as a faux marine getting in shape at boot camp.

Your posts were very inspirational and it was great to see you set goals and accomplish them month to month.

Did you accomplish your goals?

Hope you're doing great. :seeya:
