Risty's Diary (Christina)

Wow your transformation is great!

Really really makes me want to have results as good as yours. I can Only hope I lose 40 lbs.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks everyone, the support is just amazing, makes me feel so great.

Well I had my first UBC upper body yesterday and as I figured I am SO sore today, hehe. Plus I'm sure swimming after that didn't help, hehe. With the holidays I haven't had a 'complete week' for my UBC, but starting monday it's the full deal. CK on mon, weds, and fri and the UBC on tues, thurs and sat. So hopefully I'm alive by the end of the week!

I'm gonna go shopping for new workout clothes. I still wear my workout pants I was wearing when I was 200+ pounds. So the butt of my pants sag something bad, and the legs are absolutely loose! I kinda like it cause I have some cellulite (AHHH!) and at least it doesn't show with the baggy pants. I also lost my sports bra some how so I need a new one of those as well as a couple nice workout shirts (that support as well). So I must say that this month with purchasing my CK and my UBC, along with the punching gloves, new shoes, soon to be new workout clothes, and I need more protein powder, my credit card is gonna be at it's highest... ever! But, afte this I won't need to pay for things for a while. I'll have my 10 weeks of the UBC and then 6 months of CK, so it's worth it, just a lot to pay all at once.

Sundays are our free days, rest days for our body, and also we can eat what we want. Thank goodness cause sunday brunch! WOO! I'll still not try to overdo it... hopefully, lol.
 
WOWO you look great girl - awesome job!!! I have before and during pix in my diary - if you click on the paper clip you can see all my attachments - my kids are in there as well...I will be back in full force soon - I promise !!! Excellent chicky - you look liek a hottie !!!
 
you always seem so positive... i love it!

i am trying to get better about beating myself up over things. i have made progress, but i still begin to have feelings of guilt creep in. like this weekend, for example... man, i was bad! but i'm trying really hard to soak in some of your positive vibes to help me not feel so bad!!
 
Cerella you ALWAYS give me nice tips about this forum... unfortunately they always come late and I do things the hard way! LOL Paperclip... OY! It's good to know! Thanks for the comments! I haven't been called hot by so many people in a long time.... or ever! lol

Daisee I used to beat myself up over things all the time and it got me no where. Actually, when I used to do that it would make the situation worse. For example, I would get so upset because I wasn't going exercising and I wasn't losing weight, and because I got so upset being in that mood made me NOT want to exercise even more! So it kept going around and around like that until I finally snapped out of it. Being positive really helps to keep your goals in sight even when you do cheat a bit. Like you said, this weekend you were bad, well I knew ahead of time I was gonna be bad! I know I'm gonna overeat and eat things I shouldn't. But I'm gonna make it positive by still trying not to overeat TOO much like I used to.. I'll still eat all the things I want, just try for smaller portions and since I know I'm exercising 6/7 days now with my 10 week program I know I'll be burning it off. So just look at things in perspective, sure you're gonna overdo it sometimes, get lazy other times, but look at the whole picture. On the whole I'm sure you eat great and exercise so don't feel guilty about the odd times of indulgence, it's normal! I tell myself, it's ok as long as I don't do it often and don't make it permanent like how I used to be a year ago ;)

OK! Here's the pics of me! First is my fat picture, not the best cause I have a hoody on, but then again I always had my hoody on (to hide myself really) this picture was from last March. Then I have some pics from today with the same pants on as before. One is kind of a silly one... we tried to find something big to show how much room there really was, and so... a HUGE candle was what we used! For the full body pic my stomach looks flatter than it actually is cause I'm stretching out for the pose, which wasn't what was intended, I just wanted to be silly. One pic is from behind just to show how empty the pants are now, and you can clearly see from before that I FILLED those pants.

I do have some underwear pics, but I won't show those until I have a better underwear pic to compare them to!

thanks!

i am in no way giving up, i just am getting irritated that life keeps getting in the way! i hate to have so many excuses, but they are all true! i haven't worked out in 4 days - that's the longest i have ever gone without working out since i started all of this!

Weds. : got haircut and had to be home for the guy to repair our door
Thurs. : got haircut fixed and james got here around 4
Fri. : had errands to run
Sat. : snowy weather outside, so no getting on the road or outside

see! everyday there has been something going on!

and this coming week..

Tues. : leave to James' right after school to stay the night with him
Weds. : interview! after that, travel back home

so there's two more wasted days! well, not wasted, just not able to work out!

ugh. it's just frustrating sometimes!

sorry to hijack your diary!!! :)
 
GRRR! I'm so mad, I had typed out all my responses in this stupid thing and somehow I hid some weird combo of keys on my keyboard and it went to a diff page and I lost everything :mad:

ANYWAYS!

Daisee - I know how life can get, being so busy you don't even feel like working out or not even having the time to do so. However, you said it yourself that 4 days was the longest you've ever been without working out, so that in itself is an accomplishment! It's an awesome accomplishment to keep up the workouts like you have so don't feel bad about missing the few days here and there when you're life is unexpectedly or even expectedly busy! Just remember you've done such an awesome job and keeping up your workouts and that you still will!

Hey Jo, thanks for the compliments :) Now it took me a year to get to this point. Had I started exercising sooner I would be farther a long, however ... I was lazy, didn't want to exercise, what can I say, lol. I was hoping to be bathing suit ready by this summer but I'm not, and I do regret not exercising sooner but it is how it is. I definately will be ready by next summer, I can assure you that! Good luck on reaching your goal weight, just remember both eating healthy and proper portions along with exercise is important. If I could go back I would do both instead of just the one. But, at least I'm doing it now!
 
That is excellent abt needin to buy new work out clothes...I keep turning my fat clothes into work clothes and then I need to buy regular decent clothes to wear out but I am also gettin to that point where I need to be new work clothes - kinda crazzzy...and seems a bit stupid - however it makes me proud ad happy...
 
Yeah I definately need new clothes in general. Today for Easter I wanted to wear this one skirt but it was way too big. And out of 4 skirts, only 1 fit. My mom had bought me 3 skirts when I was heavier and I did wear them, they were tight and she said if I lost 10 pounds it would be perfect. Well, now it's beyond that and I can't wear 'em. I love that I can't wear them but then I'm sad cause I didn't wear them enough. Yet, I always want to wait to lose more weight before buying more new clothes. I don't like wasting money and so to me buying clothes and then losing weight and not fitting into them is a hard thing for me to do because I'd rather just buy it when I'm down there. However, what the heck am I gonna wear until then! LOL... Thankfully I do have jeans and some shirts from when I was this weight previously, so that's what's holding me over.
 
haha I know what you mean! I feel like I don't deserve nice clothes until I lose this weight. It kills me though because I am very much into personal expression and I love to be creative with clothing but I just haven't had the heart to experiment with my clothes since I gained the chub. I am going to wait until I am literally swimming in everything, I also don't like to waste money... I hear ya!

I agree, your positive attitude is so contagious. Thanks for being here Risty.
 
Aww, Lukewarm I swear you always make my day! Man do I love how you put it,
since I gained the chub

that's awesome!

Well I have my first full CK class today (in half an hour) and I'm scared! I've had an upper body and lower body UBC class so far, and for our warm ups for those classes we do the beginning kinda stuff you'd do in the CK class and boy oh boy is that really hard. I can't even imagine doing a WHOLE class like that! Plus the other was a warm up, the actual CK class is a lot harder. So, I'm nervous! I got up early cause I couldn't sleep... I know it's sad... but I will survive it, I have to :p
 
I had a similar moment today where I looked in the mirror and saw my jeans were quite loose on me. I think you're right to wait until you're closer to your ideal weight before buying more clothes - it's just too expensive keeping up! I can't wait to fit into my 'thin' clothes. Let us know how the CK class goes.

PS: Well done lukewarm - you're doing very well so far.
 
Well, I got back from my CK class about half an hour ago. It was a great workout but it was really hard. You know when you run a lot and your lungs get that burny type pain? It was like that, yet it wasn't from running, lol. Actually he did make us jog around the room a bit! There was a lot of punching and kicking which is quite fun but very tiring. He made us do kind of like a circuit type thing where in this one row you would do 2 round kicks with one leg and then the next bag you'd switch to the other leg and you'd do that all down the row. Then you go to the next row of bags and do 2 hook punches and 2 upper cut punches and with each bag you alternate the lead foot. Then you go to the last row and alternate round kicks with your legs again. You would do that twice and then came the jog around the room. Then we did the same type of thing, he changed it up a bit ... you do that twice and then jog around the room. That was just a part of it. Most of the time we were doing punches and kicks on the bags. To me one of the hardest things to do is say you're doing continual round kicks, so you kick over and over and never let your leg down, now that's hard!

Then of course at the end of the class you have your rounds of different type of push ups with punches and kicks in between and then you have your few types of crunches. At the end there's nice stretches, very relaxing. Overall, it's a huge workout! I kinda skinned my knuckles a bit, my hands kinda rubbed on the inside of my gloves, but that's ok!

Well, tomorrow is the lower body UBC class which I have to miss :mad: I don't want to miss it, but I started out a few days behind so they're using that class to do my fitness test and measurements and all that kinda stuff. So I need to make sure I try and do some of the lower body exercises. I have some resistance bands myself, so I can do the exercises.
 
I have to give you credit for doing such intense excercise im sure i would not have survived the first class. Keep up with it, it sounds grueling but im sure it will be worth it in the end :)
 
Ha Ha Ha - to the wasting your money on buying new clothes and wanting to wait _ I hear ya there chicky...boy do I hear ya there but eventually we get to the point where nothign fits...Im slowly getting there - everyhtign is way to big and I make my big clothes work clothes but then I have nothign decent to wear out and so on and I cnat afford new clothes as fast as Ia m growing outta them....I bought 3 new pairs of jeans and already getting way to big...needed to actually buy a belt as well !!!

wishing you a great mornign and great day !!!
 
wow that class sounds great!! Congrats to you for making it through and coming out wanting more, that takes some guts.

About the buying clothes, it's horrible ending up with a whole wardrobe of things too big to fit into, but you still get that little smile from knowing "I dont fit because I'm too small!" You'll have to get some shopping done when you hit your goal :)

On a side note, dont know where in BC you are but I remember spending a whole day in Metrotown and walking so much my feet hurt from shopping (and getting lost)!
 
Risty,
Wanted to drop by and say howdy!! Thank you for all
your support.Wow your KC sounds like a real bootcamp workout!
The lbs are sure to disapear in notime doing all those kicks and jabs ect!
Hope you have a nice day Tammy
 
Losing weight is expensive in clothes buying! I'm going through that right now too. I'm going to be sad when I thin out of my current wardrobe.

You're doing great! Keep up the class!
