Tarrish's Mission: Lose Weight

For the past three days I've gotten things back on track with my calorie intake. I really slacked off for a while because I wasn't dealing with stressful situations in a healthy way. One of my friends got me pretty down so I basically sat on the coach not doing much but eating and getting up only for school. Not a great way to deal with problems huh? My friend and I finally worked things out tonight and I feel so much better. It's weird how one or two things can throw you off track so easily.

In the throws of things I have not moved from 170. Well, I've currently not moved from 170. Hence currently. lol I went up and down with my weight there for a bit.

Work really helped me for some reason this weekend. I was able to stay under 1601 calories, and that made me feel better. I also had to walk every where which got me motivated to get back into my cardio schedule. I haven't given up with my strength training so at least my arms still look kind of good. lol

I really really really want to get rid of this weight, but I'm having trouble finding the energy and motivation I did in the beginning.

This happened last time as well. Instead of leaving the site though, this time I'm going to try to stick it out. If anything I need to be here AT LEAST once a week. School's trying to kill me so that's another reason I haven't been logging on much. I don't want to feel guilty about that because it only makes me feel worse.

Hopefully I'll eat a nice healthy breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Dinner will be a little tricky seeing as it's my bowling league and we get free pizza. You know what I'll have to do? Just eat one slice instead of three. That's the ticket.

Oh guys, I hope I can get this weight down. I want to accomplish this so bad I can taste it....no pun intended.

Hiya. That sucks about work, but it did keep you on your feet and away from pie! I worked the first half of the week, but not on Turkey Day. Thanksgiving was hard for me. I ate way too much, drank way too much, but had a lot of fun. I'm having a hard time getting motivated too. Logging in at least once a week is a good idea as long as you don't let that goal slip to once or twice a month. It's way too easy to slip in and out of diet mode that way. Good luck for your mid-holiday weight goals! See you around!

So last night bowling wasn't the biggest success in the range of calorie intake. Instead of having one and a half pieces of pizza I had two! Instead of two beers I had three! I was being good until my team won our first two games. My friend bought me my third beer in celebration, and instead of turning it away I drank it. Eep. I did go home, and do a walk at home mile...and instead of that making a calorie deficit it probably just kept me leveled. In total I had about 1820 calories. That's 220 cals then I would have liked to have on a Monday.

Today was much better. I ate 1660 calories, which is right in my range. I skipped breakfast, which I know is bad, but I got up really late. I had a long night last night.

For exercise I ran for an hour, so that should be a good calorie burner. I also did my strength exercises to keep my arms in shape.

Monday may have been a failure, but Tuesday was a success. I want to make every day past this one a success this week!

Wednesday was alright. I had 1830 calories in total. I wouldn't say it was a complete failure because I got an hour of walking in. Not a slow walk mind you. It was like I had a huge dog on my tail, but for some reason couldn't run. I had my dog with me too which kept me on a good pace.

Today (well Thursday) was great. I had a hamburger patty for lunch with potatoes on the side. Dinner was two small pieces of pork with rice as my side. It was a brown rice, tasted great and didn't have that many calories. I drank water and apple juice throughout the day. I even saved room for a small piece of pie. My total calories was 1560. Making up for my other bad days. :p Ok, it's only 40 calories under my goal, but I'm pleased.

I walked for a mile, and ran for another mile. I also put in thirty minutes for my strength training. Lets just hope I can keep up the good work. I know my job helps me move because I have to walk all over that freakin' theme park. I'm not worried about Saturday and Sunday for good exercise. I just have to do my part for Friday.

I'm feeling a little better about life, but I'm still stressed out over applying for the new school I want to attend. My old JR college is making things really hard for me right now, and there going to get an ear full tomorrow. Just send me your positive energy guys, because I'm going to need it.
 
Friday: I did pretty well again today guys.

I ate three mini muffins for breakfast, had two bagels, apple juice, small piece of chicken with a piece of pizza. (home made pizza) All this together totaled 1630 calories.

I jogged for ten minutes and walked for twenty. My exercise is going well, but I don't know what is up with my calves. They hurt really bad, but I don't know what I did to make them sore. Seriously, every time I get up I have to stretch them to get them going. Then I can walk. I hope it goes away tomorrow because I walk a lot at work. : /
 
Man, I don't know what this 165-180 deal is. I don't know if I'll ever escape it. I get close to being 150 and then I just lose it. I'm so embarrassed that I've reached 180 again that I lose momentum. I want to get back on track and soon because...ok here's a silly reason...I want to look good for somebody who's moving back to my area soon. They can't come down until the snow melts, so that doesn't leave me much time.

I think I was to embarrassed to come back on here once I went over the weight I had lost as well so I stayed away. Probably not the best decision since this place does keep me motivated.

So, I weight 178 lbs right now and I still want to lose 48 lbs. I hope it happens.

I've been doing Pilattes daily, and now I'm trying to ride my bike for thirty minutes every day.
