ROUGH Journey to a BEAUTIFUL end

Miss charlie, you are absolutely right.

I am currently fancying a boy who is seriously deterring me from my tracks, so i am talking to him tonight to get some support.

I need a "time out" to plan this all out, i feel like i can't stop moving!!
 
I thought I would PLAN RIGHT NOW, for tomorrow.

Breakfast: 1 cinnamon raisin bread w/ butter
Dog Walk 30 minutes
Lunch: Chinese food, veggies, chicken, and rice
Dog walk 15 minutes
Gym 40 minutes cardio

8am-930am: emails
930am-11am: principal surveys
11-130pm: prizes
130-330pm: tutoring

Goal is 15 pounds by May 1.
 
Hey y'all. I've been snooping around but haven't posted in my journal.

April 1st, yesterday, I weighed in at 198.8.
This morning, April 2nd, I weighed in at 196.0

I haven't been exercising too much, so I need to get back into that. I've been sidetracked by a boy and it's turning out to be a negative influence. Not that he makes me eat fast food, but i'm stressed about the relationship that i can't exercise, or do much of anything else.
 
Hi mate! I just wanted to show my support, you can do it, you've just got to get the food under control - try and stay away from too much salt and processed things if you can.
Sending lots of motivation, keep up the good work :)
 
Hello Laura. I wish you all the best with your weight loss program. Its great you are incorporating exercise into your program.

I am really sorry to hear about the theft. It is devastating. Have you confronted the person? If the police can't do anything, its worth a try. Or maybe just put a note in their room saying something like - bring back the stolen goods and nothing more will be done or said... That will make them panic a bit maybe.

If you will forgive me offering food advice, I think you need to try to include more healthy food into your diet. Try salad sandwiches. Here's a delicious one.

Two slices whole grain bread
tomato
avocardo
lettuce
grated carrot
cucumber slices
slices canned beetroot.
little bit of onion.

You don't need butter because the avocardo is high fat but its healthy fat.
Just try it. Some cafes make great sandwiches.

Don't put on cheese.
Don't put on meat
concentrate on enjoying the vegetables.

I find a salad sandwich very satisfying.
 
Hey! I will comment on the two posts above (THANKS SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY AND TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE SOME NOTES!!)

I just want to write my # down before I forget it.

April 3rd, 194.6. I think I'm dropping weight because I eat something at like 2PM, and don't eat for the rest of the day. I simply fill up, feel full, get too busy, and not eat.

Two nights ago, I was at a 10/10 stress level, but today, pertaining to the boy, I am roughly about a 4 out of 10. I really need to focus on other aspects of my life, for example, writing all the bajillion of papers i have to!!!

I definitely feel a gym workout session later tonight, to keep me busy, and yeah!
 
April 5, I weighed in this morning at 194.0...I haven't stepped in the gym yet. I ate crappy so far today, and its only 1pm, I'm in jury duty and would like to gym today. Even wore my gym clothes out of the house!
I have some chobani yogurt and must make the gym a priority! I want to drink some water..I feel salty.

I had one huge breakfast sandwich made from home. Ham cheese and eggs. Then half a jalapeno bagels with cream cheese. And then half of a chicken burritos with black beans and no rice Nd tons of chips.

Damn. I'm watering my body for the rest of the day!
 
I think I jumpstarted my weight loss by eating less calories each day, I need to start putting this weight loss in HIGH gear with some exercise.

April 6th, 2011
Breakfast
1 Chobani Yogurt
1 slice toast w/ 1 tbsp peanut butter

Lunch
Ham and cheese sandwich on Double Fiber bread w/ cheddar cubes
Soup to fill up?

I MUST WORK OUT TOMORROW. IF I DO NOT WORK OUT TOMORROW, THIS IS ALL A JOKE TO ME.
 
So! I went to the gym today!

After eating ALL THAT CRAP YESTERDAY, I woke up to a surprised 195.2...too bad i didn't take a poo today! and now i feel so bloated! EUGH!

BUT BACK TO THE GYM SESSION...

I felt like I was on top of the world, did 28 minutes on the treadmill, mostly jogging!! I even went up to 6.0 for a few minutes! Got super sweaty! Then did 12 minutes of interval training on the elliptical! So, overall, I only spent 40 minutes at the gym, but I definitely didn't waste a minute!

Today, I ate another breakfast sandwich with less meat, less cheese, and added half an avocado. Then, I ate a "lunch size" steak burrito w/o rice and black beans.

That's it! and I still didn't poo! EUGH!!
 
I went to the gym again today! I didn't go crazy fast on the treadmill today, but I did do 35 minutes today! and then i did 10 minutes on the cycling machine! i got super sweaty!

I ate 8 stone wheat crackers this morning and then a thumbsize amount of brie.
For lunch, I had a pepperjack cheese and german bologne sandwich on a sourdough roll. with jalapeno potato chips and diet coke.

I drank about 5 cups of water, took one small poop and took a big one in the afternoon. =)

After my workout, I ate a chobani blueberry yogurt. I weighed in tonight at 194.8...I AM SO READY TO BE OUT OF THE 194! I ate the blueberry yogurt to boost my metabolism and feed my body after my cardio workout, so I cross my fingers to be less than 194.8 tomorrow morning!!!

I thought energy expenditure is greater than energy consumption would result in weight loss, but apparently eating certain foods and when truly influence the weight loss????

My short term goal is to see 189 by April 14
 
Tomorrow schedule
Jury Duty (hopefully we'll get out by 12)
Gym (Run and LIFT)

Date night with the boy (going to the movies)

Tomorrow food
breakfast: 1 breakfast sandwich (2 double fiber slices, ham, cheese, 1 egg, avocado)

I am so pissed that I'm still in the 194s!!!!!! 194.2 this morning!

I'm going to keep exercising and eating less calories to get a whoosh!!!!!!! I better!

Today, I ate the breakfast sandwich with only one egg instead of two eggs.
2 slices of double fiber bread- 140 calories
Sliced ham and cheddar cheese- 175
1 egg- 110 calories
1/2 avocado- 180 calories
605 calories total

I took another shower after eating the yogurt when I got home, and I weighed in 195.0, so I took a poo this morning like at 11, but still, 194.2???

BIG WOOSH BIG WOOSH COME AROUND!! :willy_nilly:
 
You should try and stop weighing yourself everyday. It sounds like you are concentrating more on the number then over all fitness. Best of luck! :waving:
 
Scotty, you're right. I just want to get out of the 194s so bad!

So yesterday, was date night. I ended the night eating a meditteranean plate, which had chicken skewers, pita bread, olives, yogurt sauce, and hummus. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I ate a lot, and even shared a delicious banana split! I woke up this morning at 194.4...WTF right?!?!

I eat like that, no exercise, only a 2 hour shopping walk around the mall, and i'm 194.4???

This morning around 10AM, I woke up and ate my left over chicken skewers and yogurt and some crackers with brie. Then, for dinner around 5PM, i ate a double fiber bread steak sandwich w/ a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, a handful of chips, and 3 zucchini strips! Then at 8PM, I joined my sister, brother, and cousin out to eat at a local restaurant. I ate a third of a rib eye sandwich, a handful of garlic fries, a bite of a shrimp po' boy sandwich, then a bite of a tuna melt, and THREE rockefeller oysters! To top it off, my sister and i shared a slice of turtle cheesecake with a cup of black coffee to wash it down.

We jogged to the restaurant, which is 0.6miles away, and then we power walked back. So, in total a 1.2mile exercise to get our blood slightly pumping to burn a minimal amount of the calories we consumed!

Today, I also helped my sister move furniture, and my gosh, I was dripping sweat the first hour, and heeving and hooing the second hour.

I wish I didn't eat at the bar, and gone to the gym. Oh well, two strikes.

Scott, you're right. I think I'll have a weekly weigh-in. This week, I want to focus on getting the HELL OUT OF THE 194s, so I will not weigh myself until APRIL 15

How?
I want to up my treadmill time to above 40minutes each session EVERY DAY until APRIL 15.
Eat more frequently.
Eat more vegetables.

The walk at the park, which was a 4mile trail walk with slight hills was great! THANK GOD I took my dogs, they definitely kept me power walking and motivated. It took me about 90 minutes to do it, which hey, is fine with me, as long as I was out of the house/out of bed, and away from my cell phone.

I am so emotional unstable with my bf since last night. I can't stop bringing up little bits to pick at him with, and i'm so impatient to see "what's next". I really need to see him and talk to him. situate this all out. Like, where are we going after this?

I want to go to sleep, but I can't seem to fall asleep because I keep looking at my phone.

There's a yoga session at 430 today, i'm going to go to bed right now, but if i can wake up before then, i'm totally going.

--
I ended up going to the yoga session, but walked out twice because there was SO much on my mind, the bf, and it was just so difficult. I did go back in and finish.

I still did not hear from my BF all day, which worries me since i've reached out to him 3 times. I'm emotionally unstable....gotta get work done, will get work done tomorrow! I'll wait for him to come around, no longer will i just waste a day....

So, today, I went to yoga and walked 4 miles on a trail. Totally not bad for an exercise day, too bad all the other times i was sitting or sleeping. Sigh* so depressed.
