Hey y'all! :Angel_anim:

I've been lurking on this site for many months and I am so amazed of all the success the members have on this forum! I want success too! hahaha..

I needed to have a place to write while I am on my getting healthy journey, and instead of a blog, which no one will read, I decided to come here...to you! Are you still reading? I hope so!

Let's make the facts easy to read!

This morning, I'm standing at 201.0. Damn!

February 28th: 201.0
March 11th: 193.8
Total WEIGHT LOSS: 7.2

April 1: 198.8
April 5: 194.0

I did 45 minutes of cardio, in that time, I DID get in a <15min mile in, so good for me! I was too lazy to put in some weight training, but hey, at least I went to the gym right?!

I had a bowl of rice and pork in spicy pepper sauce! I had a footlong BMT from Subway. 1 cup of edamame. 1 orange.


Tomorrow's awareness's:
1. drink a LOT of H2O
2. Gym: <15min mile + stretch + other cardio + upper body lifts

I woke up this morning to 199.8lb. I definitely feel good that I'm out of the 200s already. Last night, I weighed at 202.6lb, so I didn't think I would move much. I woke up this morning feeling really good. I'm munching on a big bowl of cereal, probably have a can of soup for lunch.

It's amazing how much better my body feels today. I am a bit sore, but overall, i feel better.

I got a bit carried away with food so I ate six chicken pieces and two crunch wrap supremes. Crazy amount of food! I ate a bowl of soup at work today for lunch, a progresso type.

I gotta go gym later, which will happen!

Ugh, fast food is my downfall! My husband is big [or should I say, USED TO BE big :Angel_anim: ] on the crunchwrap supreme's, so I can understand their allure. I hate how it seems like you can eat SO MUCH fast food, and then what do you know, 20 minutes later you're hungry for more!

Hooray for cracking 200 lbs! Wow that must be such a wonderful feeling. Hopefully I will be joining you in the 100 Club before too long :D
 
Hi Laura! You're right, people have much success on here. If it weren't for this site, I would have given up after two weeks or so....it's nice to receive feedback!

Don't worry about slipping up with your food.....we all do it sometimes! Just got to accept it and move on....which you've done! :)

Keep up the good work!

GIRL! YOU TOTALLY GET ME!! The ONLY reason why I got them was because they were 88 cents each! Two pieces of chicken for 99 cents?! HARD to beat that!!!!

Girl, come in the 100s, it's a GREAT place to be!!! Thanks for stopping by and showing the support!!

HEY STACEY!! I need support! I NEED the feedback! AND the feeling of ACCOUNTABILITY that this site provides!!

You're right, I can't stop junk food COLD TURKEY, i can just accept what i've done and move on and prevent it from happening it again!

Thanks girl, Keep up the good work!!
 
Congrats on your success so far! I totally understand about the fast food as well! My husband is a fanatic which isn't helpful to me at all!! Anyway, good luck on the rest of your journey!! I'll be checking in to see how you're doing! :)
 
So...tonight's workout was a 4 out of 10. I only lasted 25 minutes of cardio. I did 10 minutes of interval cycling which got me sweating really quick! Then I lasted 10 minutes on the treadmill jogging on an incline! Then I just did a 5 minute cool down on the recumberant bike.

I did leave dripping sweat!! But the fact that I only lasted 25 minutes---BUT HEY! I WENT TO THE GYM. If i make this a daily habit, I hope to increase my stamina and endurance!

I really need some help with the treadmill! I want to last longer on the treadmill but I keep getting burnt out! EUGH! I want to run 3 miles!!!

Today, I think I drank like 6 cups of water, I think yesterday, I drank like three. So, baby steps in the right direction!!

Tomorrow, I'll be cleaning my room and bathroom so that'll be my gym workout. I'm moving out so I gotta do a thorough cleaning! EUGH!
 
WEll done on leaving the 200s behind! I swear junk food has some addictive additives in it - I crave McDs for at least a week after my last one, then after that the craving goes and I don't even think twice about it. If I happen to eat there again like months later...the cravings start again...

I crave McDs and then when I get it, it never tastes as nice as what my cravings tell me it will :rant:
 
I weighed in this morning at 200.4lb! I guess 25 minutes wasn't enough yesterday after so much chicken and crunch wrap supremes!

I will go to the gym today, then clean my room, and then i have dinner with a friend! I hope i'll do well today! I feel OK, but not as skinny as yesterday morning!
 
I had the worst day yesterday.

I was robbed. while I was out of the house.

Someone took my 27" iMAC and my sweet digital camera. It was intended. We know who it is, but without fingerprints, we have nothing. Now, the cops are to send the detectives.

I am so stressed out, I have never felt so invaded. I am extremely traumatized.

With all this stress, I weighed this morning at 198.8lb. No gym yesterday, no gym today. I just haven't eaten.

The sentimental value of the iMAC far outweighs the retail value. Knowing how hard my mother worked to pay for that....it crushes my heart.

I am a victim of this crime, yet, i feel so guilty and responsible. It is not someone I know who did it, my roommate's friend did it.

Please pray for me. I have yet to break the news to my family.

Oh hun, that's awful. I am so sorry to hear about your day. I'll be praying for you. I just don't understand how some people can be so cruel. I know your family will understand and be incredibly loving and supportive during this difficult time. We are here for you if you need to talk. Wish you the best girl. :grouphug:
 
I weighed in this morning at a happy 196.0, but the stress of the robbery has ruined the past three days.

I'm back home at my mom's house, taking care of some work that I HAVE to do. Other than that, it is quite difficult not to think about.

Yesterday, all I ate was two fresh slices of pineapple and a bowl of pork and rice. I probably had three cups of tea and two cups of water.

My brain is not registering any signals of food, cravings, or hunger because of the mental block this incident has caused.
 
Instead of just sitting on my ass today, I decided to splurge on the gas and go to the gym. The gym is only 4 miles away, but man, with gas prices over 4.00, and i get 20mpg, it's hard to get out of the house.

I went and did 40 minutes of cardio. 5 minutes jogging, 5 minutes cycling, 30 minutes power walking on the treadmill. I swear, the last 30 was just power walking at a 4.0 speed and 2.0 incline and I was dripping with sweat.

Today, my body felt so rigid, as in, it's been so long since it's been moved, that moving felt new to my body. In my mind, I feel like the exercise bunny is still here, but damn, my body is really out of shape!!!

It was tough doing 40 minutes today, I really need to train my body to MOVE again!

This morning, I ate a small bowl of rice, pork in spicy sauce, and a cup of broccoli. I need to drink more water and I want to eat some pineapple. Fresh cute pineapple is SO sweet, why substitute such natural fruit for all that fake stuff?? For dinner, I ate a small amount of rice, some chicken breast sauteed in egg and broccoli, and three slices of pineapple. WOO! I am full.

I woke up this morning at 195.5lb!

I do feel better about the burglary after I told my sister and brother. They are the world to me!
 
So sorry to hear about your awful day. You are right - it is such a feeling of violation. I don't understand how some people think it is okay to violate someone else's personal space....and to steal...even worse.

I hope today is a better day!

Glad you made the most of your gas expenditure yesterday at the gym - sounds like you had a good session. I am drooling at the thought of chicken, rice, and some pineapple...yummy.

Thanks Jennifer for stopping by. I am praying to GOD my landlady will do everything for me. It's such a weird situation because I was robbed the day I was moving out. How effin' ackward. I live with my landlady so she feels like her house has been violated as well. So, more poewr in catching this creep. She has decided not to contact the horrid until Tuesday, which I have no choice to agree. She's a retired police captain, 25 years of service. I think she knows what she's doing.

Today, I've been up and moving from 1030 this morning to 4pm. I went to go move the last few things from my room.

My brother helped me with the room, so we stopped by this new asian/american buffet as a treat. I had a large amount of food, but steered clear of the dessert ice cream and fortune cookie. I had 8 pieces of spicy tuna roll, 1 jalapeno popper, 1 potsticker, 1 egg roll, some chicken teriyaki, 3 crab cream cheese puffs, some jello, papaya, half a cream puff, a few shrimp dimsum. Washed it all down with like 4 cups of water. Woo, I was so full!

I want to go to the gym tonight, I WILL make it happen. SINCE I AM DRESSED FOR IT!!
