I am 24 years old. I weigh 159 pounds. My goal weight is 135 pounds. I plan to get to this weight in 8 weeks. I just began working out and dieting this week. so that puts me at my target around the end of April.

Today I got up at: 645am
Yani and I worked out at: 7am
We walked/jogged for: 30 min
I clocked in: 2.17 miles

8am
I had: blueberry/peach shake (145 calories; 7.5 from fat [1%]; 26g carbs [7%]; 9g protien [18%]; 2.5g dietary fiber [12%])

Yani and I are planning on joining a hip-hop dance class and this aerobic class called "stripper aerobics"... it looks like fun...:rolleyes: ... we'll see.

Gotta get some work done before class, feeling GOOD! :D
 
welcome to your diary and much success on your journey...

don't forget to add some strength trainingin there - and don't cut yur calories too low...
 
thanks... yeah we are doing our strength training in the afternoons (we are both still in school and working so our workouts get scattered all over our schedules... :) ) I am shooting for between 1500 and 1800. I eat CONSTANTLY... I am just working on eating more heathly foods and cutting out the fatty/salty snacks that I have been downing...
 
10am: breakfast wrap (scrambled egg, grilled chicken, grilled onions and salsa)... SO yummy and 2 glasses of water... I think I might be dehydrated from the INSANE heat setting that my roommates have adopted in our apartment. Its seriously like 81 degrees in here... :eek: and for lunch... i haven't decided yet. I am cooking up some long-grained rice but i have yet to decide on a veggie... and do I want tilapia for lunch? hmmm... decisions, decisions

I am a little tired. but not at the same time... SO excited about the stripper aerobics!!! we are going to our first session on Saturday!!! I can't wait!!! and we found a hip-hop dance class but the session is almost done.... do we REALLY want to go for the LAST four classes (??) or just wait until March 25th when the next session starts??? hmmm...:rolleyes:
 
Hi!

Hi there! Welcome to this website!
I've found so much encouragement here, and so will you!!
Come often...

What are you taking in school?

I am a business major. I started a management company in November and am working on opening a lounge/bar right now... it's stressful and has taken a toll on my eating/exercising/sleeping habits... but I have decided to make a concerted effort to really take care of myself!

1230pm: 1/2 long-grained rice; 3/4 cup peas; 1 filet of garlic/herb crusted tilapia... and some hot sauce.... delish. :p

Yani was funny, when we got done eating she was like "WOW I am full, I thought I was gonna have to eat mini meals and be so hungry all the time..." lol. I told her I couldn't live like that!!! I love food way too much!

about to go fix myself a snack before I head down to the gym (get this: I work there as an athletic trainer ... talk about ironic... but i deal with the injuries, not the fitness programs)
 
Welcome! I'm also 24 and want to be around 135lbs! So I'm subscribing to your thread for commaradity (ugh how do you spell that). Best of luck to you, WE CAN DO IT!!
 
I say 5'10" cause that's how the listed me in college... but really I am 5'8" and some change... but don't tell anyone I know they all think I am like 6' .... I am always in heels.... do you have a diary... its always good to have someone that has a similar goal to work "together" with!!!!


thanks. the key for me is to REALLY stick with it... :D but I am committed!!!!
 
Did someone say stripper aerobics. I am soooo making myself comfortable in this journal. :D

Pics please.
 
lol. My work (NOT stripping) basically requires that I am in heels.... plus I was a model when I was younger (talk about a whacked out self esteem/self-image)... so I am SO used to being in heels all the time.... BUT it has led to a bit of an unhealthy obsession.... last weekend I was in Vegas for AllStar weekend and ended up buying myself a $650 pair of Jimmy Choo's (let me not go into how they are the sexiest pari of purple patent leather, gold detailed heels... but they are)... jeesh

ANYWAY... yes STRIPPER aerobics.... and may I just say I am extrememly excited about this. They have two different types of classes: floor/chair dancing (beginner/advanced) and pole dancing (intro/pole 1/pole2). I think we are going to START with the floor/chair classes and work our way up to the pole.... plus they say that you can work out with bare feet or socks... but that for the REAL work out you do it in heels... I figure I'll go barefoot to the 1st class... but then.. ohhh the heels are going on... lol.

I try to have fun. I don't see a point in living and not having fun, you know? Plus somebody told me that there was like a 76 year old woman in one of their classes.... dude, there is NO WAY that a 76 year old woman should know how to pole dance and I don't... totally need to step my game up :p

first "intro" class is on Saturday at noon.... I will definitely let you know how it goes... its going to be so much fun.. oh my goodness!!!

umm yeah so.... lets see...

330pm: tuna fish salad (1/2 can of tuna; 1 TBS lite mayo; 1TBS spicy mustard; 1TBS relish) on a whole wheat wrap with 6 bread and butter pickles, glass of water

415pm: light weight lifting (actually I would call it more of a resistance training than weights... really low weights and high high reps... some situps, some tricep dips...

5pm: salad (lettuce, carrrots, red cabbage) with fat free italian dressing

man, i tell you what this 6 small meals a day thing... its difficult. And I'm tired, and now I have to go to this BORING class for 2 and 1/2 hours.... :confused:

oh well... 'til later.. ciao
 
oh p.s.

I'm down a pound.... woo hoo.. and it was the middle of the day... and I am totally starting my period, so that scale saying 158... yes yes yes yes yes....

ok, I am REALLY going to class now
 
Tell me about it! I ALWAYS gain 4 lbs of bloat or whatever goes on that time of the month, ugh!

Yes! 76 year old! Whoo hoo! I would love to take that class, but I need to check and see if any are avialable in my area. Of course, like, I need a POLE in my house, ha ha. You should post a picture of your shoes so we can see!!
 
what a weeend

went out of town with my boys... which is THE worst when it comes to my health.... let me explain... out-of-town with the boys means I am with my super-fit, high metabolism football friends = binge drinking, eating everything in sight and NOT working out at all (they work out all week long ~ soooo .... weekends are for... NOT working out)

I feel heavier. yuck, and sick... double yuck.

BUT I am heading to the gym now to get some weights in... and then after class tonight I am going to get some cardio in.... :)

ps. I will get a picture of the heels... soon as I get a chance.
 
weight room today was good. I was late because my 230pm meeting never showed. so I ended up stuck in the weight room the same time as the football team... I hate working out when they are around because of their scrutiny BUT they make sure I do all my exercises and push me to get my workout completed...

now.. off to class..
