Rosa, Hot By Summer '09

Date: 12/31/08
Workout: Treadmill walk/run, gumdo
Miles/30Min on Treadmill: 2.51
Weight: 187.4 lb
Gain/Loss: -1lb
Comments: Messed up dinner& later on BIG TIME.

See post(s) above...it felt as if I binged. But I didn't. I don't know. =/

Point System​

2 large bottles of water: 0 (I didn't have my bottle so I don't know for sure, but I tried to drink as much as possible. So 0, not -1.
Treadmill: 1
Snacks: 1 (Donut, frozen yogurt. That's two.)
Drink: 1
Gumdo: 1

TOTAL SO FAR: 12

When I weighed myself after I got back from the fatty dinner and ice-cream, I was 190.4lb. I was horrified. But after I ran, took a shower, and got into lighter clothing which I usually wear when I measure myself each night, I was actually one pound lighter than last night! :) Hooray!
 
Breakfast: New Year soup. A cup of coffee because I was too drowsy.

I had some pieces of butter popcorn and candy popcorn. Not too much, though. And then for lunch I had this spicy dish with dumplings. Didn't have much, because there weren't much. The guiltiest part of today is that I had many pieces of chocolate. :(

I don't know what we're having for dinner.
 
Can I make a suggestion?

You might want to make an extra effort to eat more consistently throughout the day. By eating a super low calorie diet, your setting yourself up for some pretty intense cravings. Remember that you need at least 1,200 calories a day, especially if you are going to be working out. Balanced nutrition means adequate amounts of the esssential nutrients: Protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins, and minerals. I would like to see you reach your goal by this summer, let me know if I can help. Good Luck!
 
Thanks for replying! :]

I know it's good to eat more consistently, but my work/school schedule often leads to really unhealthy takeout or no good food I'd like to eat. :(

It'll probably change for the next two months, though, when we'll be ordering in *healthy* Korean food for lunch every weekday.
 
I can't believe this. I went to sleep at 7 in the evening, thinking I'd wake up later, have dinner, work out, etc. Instead, I slept on until this morning!!

Date: 1/1/09
Workout: NOTHING! Damnit.
Miles/30Min on Treadmill: None. :(
Weight: 187.0 lb (Before going to sleep. This morning I was 185)
Gain/Loss: -0.4
Comments: Went to sleep too early.

Point System​

2 large bottles of water: -1
Treadmill: -5 (NOOOO!)
Snacks: 1 (Popcorn, chocolate, that's two.)
Drink: 1
Gumdo: N/A

TOTAL SO FAR: 8

So sad, so sad. I don't think I can reach my goal this week...but at least I'm losing some weight. ;)
 
Don't beat yourself up, your body must have needed the sleep. You are doing really well to manage 30min on a treadmill, I'm not sure I could. Congrats on still losing weight!
 
:) Thanks Lilly!

I'm really hungry right now. Had no breakfast because I woke up too late (after all the sleeping, too!). I drank one big bottle of water (32 oz) and ate half an orange. My mom is bringing my lunch but she's not here yet!! :(

I think I'll be adding the number of pounds lost each week to the points. To reach 30 a week I have to be perfect every single day, I noticed! Haha. x)
 
Food so far:

- 64 ounces of water
- Half an orange
- 11 pieces of vegetarian kimbap [a finger food]
- Half a huge sweet potato [so pretty much one regular size sweet potato]
- One chocolate crunch stick

[And Adding]

- One mint chocolate cookie.

The stick and the cookie count toward unhealthy snack. I am allowed only one more for the day. :)

For dinner I had a Korean meal of tofu soup, rice (maybe more than I needed,) some more pieces of kimbap, fish, etc. I had enough to feel full, didn't go too overboard.

I weighed myself and I'm 189 (No!) but I know that it's only because it's right after I ate. I'm going to clean my room (which will take some time and calories) and then do my 30 minutes (hopefully more) on the treadmill. Then I'll take a shower, weigh myself, and record in my diary again.

:D

oh my gosh im totally obsessed with weighing myself! ill go weigh myself.. then work out, and weigh myself again before i drink water so i can see if there's any fluctuation. im pretty sure it's not good for me haha.. i also weigh myeslf everyyyy day at the gym. i think im goign to try and only do it every few days so that if i eat something bad or whatever, my body has time to fluctuate. know what i mean? :) anyways, hope the scale dips into teh negatives for you. :)

ps -- do you like korean bbq ribs? ahah so random, sorry. but i think they're soooo goood.
 
Korean BBQ anything is good. :]

AND! I'm still not done cleaning my room. So far I managed to put all my clothes in place...and that's it. Haha....
 
Threw up.

I hate throwing up. But I threw up most of what I ate for dinner. :ack2:

I wasn't feeling sick or anything, but after I ran and tried to take a shower, the odor of the fish I had for dinner kind of surged(?) up and grossed me out, big time.

Like I said, I hate throwing up. I almost cried. It's disgusting!! Even after brushing my teeth with a large amount of toothpaste and drinking a glass of water, I still felt grossed out. I'm chewing gum right now.

So this morning, for brunch (it was eleven), my mom had out rice, other Korean stuff, and this dish with veggies and pork.

I thought it'd be safe if I had some pork, since I totally denied it in its greasy form. But then my mom told me not to have any. I said I'll just have one, so I ate it. After that I just had veggies, etc. Then, I asked if I could have another piece, and she SMIRKED at me.

She was saying that I was always telling her that she's an obstacle in weightloss. YEAH MOM. I want you to cook healthy food, not cook regular food and then put me aside, humiliating me in front of everyone. I almost cried then, AND THEN my dad says:

It's not like you're going to continue the treadmill for long, and it's not like you can lose weight that way. Just take my dog out for a walk.

This comment made me so angry that I almost threw up.

I just feel like my family is not at all supportive of my weight loss while always making me feel like shit because of my weight.
 
I ended up going to the sauna yesterday and sleeping over. Going to run in a few minutes.

I'll continue recording weight, etc., but I'm going to have to abandon the point system for this week because it got too complicated. Will start again once I hit the 170's. :)
 
Hey! I'm so sorry your family isn't being supportive in your weight loss endeavors. It's hard to succeed at something when those around you are negative.

I know you're determined so you just have to push through their negative words and keep working at it. Once they see that you ARE committed, they might have a change of heart.

I personally think you're doing WONDERFULLY! If my mom made yummy food and put it in front of me, I'm pretty sure I'd eat it all. High five for having self restraint! Keep us updated on your progress. You're FABULOUS!
 
Thank you so much! :) You definitely keep me motivated :hurray:

My mom actually told me yesterday and today to delay weight loss until I'm done with the tests I have to take. I said no...weight loss is a lifestyle change, not a one-time thing.

I know I missed yesterday...

Date: 1/4/09
Workout: Treadmill 30 Min.
Miles/30Min on Treadmill: 2.60 <- RECORD! :patriot:
Weight: 186.4 lb
Gain/Loss: +0.2 This isn't surprising, as I ate a lot today. :( I was 183.3 this morning...

I'm getting back on track tomorrow. Water, proportion, all that shiz.

I haven't really been studying hard lately, both because of laziness and because I've been so focused on weight loss and weight loss only. It's time I learned to balance it all! :D
 
Hey Rosa:hurray:, good to see your on track again...it is about balance, and finding that balance is hard. It is especially hard when those closest to you don't give you the support you need. My family are classic, they don't think I need to lose weight, even though it is obvious, and last time I did lose the weight they labelled me too skinny...hee hee and I'm 32 with a family of my own, so it doesn't ever stop..lol.

You can do this...keep your chin up!
 
Thank you so much Lilly! :)

This morning I was running late so I grabbed a banana. I was going to buy my lunch (despite all the unhealthy choices we have at my college) because it's like 2:00 p.m. and I'm hungry, BUT! I realized that I forgot to bring my wallet!! :(

So right now all I have is water. D:
 
Hi Rosa!

Way to go on the 5lbs. Hope you keep it going girl! Whoo hoo!!
