Back off Mr. Christie! (and other escapades on the way to a smaller me!)
Alright Mr. Diary.. Here goes.
After eating a box(16 to be exact) of oreos yesterday I decided its time to start laying it all out on paper(or the internet as it be) Hopefully writing down my weight loss goals will help me achieve them!
I have no idea why I binge and sabatoge myself, but today it's going to stop!
Enough with my Negativity and a bit about myself(In case anyone ends up looking over this little diary of mine!)
I'm a 22 year old Canadian girl who currently lives in the Netherlands as a live in Nanny. I take the kids to school by bike in the morning and collect them five hours later (by bike again) four days a week. I watch the kids for 3.5 hours untill their mom gets home and cooks up dinner for all of us. The other three days of the week I am off. I have about an hour to three hours of housework to do during the days that I do work.
I have a membership to a gym here and only do cardio while I am there. The gym man told me that cycling is the best form of excersise and that I should keep my heart rate at around 130 if I'm looking to lose wieght. I usually can do 50 minutes on the bike and 50 on the elliptical when I go. My gym sceduele is overly sporatic.. I go for 6 days straight then come up with excuses(currently I'm sick.. yuck) and wont go for a week! I need to feel more motivated to go!
I wieght somewhere between 185-195pnds.. it always fluctuates! I gained 20 pounds in college and I really want it gone! I feel most self consious about my spare tire(where all of it lies!) and my more recently bigger arms.. I'd like to be a healthy 145-155. but any loss is a bonus for me! Plus I want to be able to run!
I try to eat well and have control over what I eat during the day, usually a sandwich and some soup.. with some cereal.. and maybe some chocolate.. But dont have much say in the meal at dinner time(what I do have say in is how much I consume and of what part..) I used to be a soda freak, but have stopped since I moved to Europe.. YAY! first accomplishement I'd say..
Another huge Calorie adder is my drinking habits! I like going out on the weekends for a few!! gah.. need to find a low cal solution to this!!
I dont want to be completely negative! I just want to be healthier before I return to canada in May! oh, another HUGE weakness.. is cheese!! anyways.. im off to do some cleaning and have a cup-o-soup for lunch..
hopefully no more splurges!
