Weight Loss Journal

So I think I may have successfully survived the weekend! I did drink one day and I told Aurora in advance that I'd only be drinking one day so that she would not try to get me to drink the other day. So Friday night I drank. The next day I went to the body attack class at 8:30 on 2 hours of sleep and was very tempted to throw my diet out the window. I had given in on Friday during the day with my eats and just had whatever I wanted. I was up to 143.4 Saturday morning. fortunately, my cousin came to the class with us on saturday and was looking forward to a healthy breakfast. So I had a healthy breakfast and the rest of the day turned out to go well. I think I finished off the day within my points. I did have a couple fries off my friends plate at the bar.

Last night was my ex bfs bday (Mike) and we went to the bar and then to the strip club. I had a salad at the bar and did not have any drinks at all. I only drank water. My efforts definitely paid off because this morning the scale is at 142.0 meaning I survived the weekend and finished off at a decent weight. I won't have to work my butt off this week to drop 5 lbs of crap from a crappy weekend. :hurray:

So I just have to rant for a second. UGH!!... So as I said yesterday was my ex's bday and everyone pitched in for a lap dance for him (I refused to pitch) and when he went with the girl I got really upset. I didn't cry or anything I was just really angry. Aurora told me it was no big deal because she was paid to do it and its not like he liked her or anything but I think it's just the concept of him getting fondled or danced on or whatever by another girl. Just another girl pleasing him physically and not just through a monitor. I just don't think I am quite ready for something like that. I feel really stupid for having these feeling because I really shouldn't but it's not something that I can really control. So now I just feel like he is so disgusting and I pretty much don't even want to be any where near him ever again. sooo stupid I know.......

Anyways the step class today is 90 minutes and I plan to do the whole thing. The sickness is creeping up on me still and soon I will have a lot of trouble breathing so I'd better get in some great workouts while I still can.
 
sweet I'm halfway to my first mini goal!! That's awesome! It's only monday and I weighed in at 140.6 I am hoping to be in the 130's before xmas because if I don't see it then I wont for a couple days after xmas. The eve of I will be with my dad. We will be having lasagna for dinner. The morning of we will open presents there and probably have some bfast. After that we head back to my house to open presents with my mom and have turkey dinner. After dinner I will be heading back over to my dads to party with him and his friends (drinking will be taking place). At the moment I am really focused on eating healthy on christmas day/eve and not overloading my plate with everything. If I go over my points that will be acceptable but I don't want to be shovelling food into my mouth every chance I get. I will try hard to avoid the snacks that are served before dinner too. I am going to work hard to get in as many workouts as I can before the day.

I decided not to workout today because my knee is pretty sore. In addition, I woke up feeling quite sick so I'll just workout tomorrow. As long as I stick to my points I'm happy. My work xmas party is tonight and I feel like I'm going to be a party pooper if I don't drink. I rarely drink with these people and I kinda feel like I should, but I know if I do then the 140 I saw this morning will be gone.

Well anyways I'm going to head out now. Hope all is well with everyone! :)
 
Thanks misty you aswell and happy holidays to everyone else. I hope all is well with everyone.

I haven't been around too much lately because of the holidays and stuff. I also haven't been to concerned about my nutrition an therefore my weight loss has been effected. I was 145.4 the last time I checked an haven't been on the scale for a couple days now. I did get one very amazing gift for xmas though that will assist me in my weight loss. I got a kitchen scale. Now I can accurately weight everything which is sooo exciting. I wont have to guesstimate any longer.

I have decided to just take a small break on my weight loss and just accept these couple of days of bad eats and alcohol. The last day will be new years eve. Come january first I will be 100% focused on my weight loss and will work super hard to achieve my 125 goal.

Well thats it. everyone have a great day!
 
Well I haven't been on for a while so I figured I'd come back here before I just shut the site out completely.

I have not been doing good. I had made a resolution (obviously) to get back into things and kick it into high gear this year to get to my goal weight. I had a very slow start to the new year and didnt get back on track until yesterday. I did my first cardio workout yesterday since Dec 24th and it helped with my control in terms of eats.

I didn't weigh myself today because I want to really start to focus less on the number on the scale and the calories and just eat sensibly and workout regularly. Once I make a habit of doing this then I may adjust according to my eating. I need to start relying on my own knowledge that I have gained over the years with exercise and portion size. Weight watchers really taught me a lot about portion size though I was only really in the game for about a month. I know that I need to put half of my take out away right away and it's OK to do so. I need to be able to sacrifice the bread if I want the bacon or eat half the soup I normally would if I want some bread. I'm ready to do this fully and completely. I am ready to feel good about myself again and get down to my ultimate goal and feel fit and healthy.

So that's my new outlook on this whole weight loss thing. I have also decided to really try and stop smoking at all, as I only smoke when I drink or do drugs right now. I went out this weekend and had a drag on 3 smokes so probably half a smoke in total for the night which is a major jump from the 3+ smokes I usually have a night.

I hope everyone had a good new years! Mine was pretty good. My friends all ended up leaving me at a party with people I didn't know and I fell down the stairs and got a nice welt on my leg... but I did meet a guy :)

Things seem to be going OK for now. We are just getting to know each other and hanging out. He lives in downtown Toronto which is a 40 minute drive from georgetown but we both drive. We'll see how things go.

Anyways I hope everyone is doing well. I know I posted a lot but it's been a while. Have a good day.
 
So I finally did it. I signed up for a race. It's a new year and I need to really get into a good groove here. I also decided to follow MissD's idea and run a race every month. So I signed up for a 5K on January 25th and another 5K on February 22nd. After those races I will train for a 10K for March. I think I'll have a goal of running a marathon by the end of the year. That would be great. That's the update.
 
Hey Team mate! Just popping in to introduce myself! I'm Karl.

Spreadsheet is up and running so you can update whenever you have time...
 
figured I would follow Karl's example and introduce myself. Hi, I'm Shandy, looks like we're both on Team 2 for the 6 week new years challenge. Hope you're doing great. Good luck with your 5K on the 25th!
 
Hello new teammates. Very nice to meet you and hopefully we will kick some serious ass.

So yesterday went OK in my eyes. I didn't workout because I was at Cory's all day but I really tried to make the best of my meal choices. I didn't have bfast because he woke up soo late. For lunch I had a chicken club with no bacon and mayo on the side with a salad. Then we smoked a joint but I made sure not to really give in to any bad eats. I wasn't even craving anything actually. We walked to the store and he bought a big bag of ketchup chips and I had 3. I also had 1 ferrero rocher (sp?). I realized that I probably didnt have enough calories for the day so I had a 6 inch subway melt with lettuce tomato and light mayo for dinner. Gave myself a little more leeway. I did have one beer at the end of the night but overall the day was a success.

Today I am back at home and eating healthy when I want. I still haven't jumped on the scale which I am happy about. The number on the scale cannot be my number 1 priority right now. I need to focus more on the recognizing proper eating and portion control and how much junk is actually allowed. I plan on beginning my training for the 5 K today even though I have ran 5K before on my jogs. I will start running 5K at least 3x a week and try to bump the speed up as much as I can without sacrificing my distance.

I am in the 6 week new years challenge which most people who come into my diary would know because they are in it too. I am on team two and though I am very happy to be on a team in general, I really wish someone that I've been talking to during my time on this forum were on my team. It's OK though I guess I'll just have to show all my buddies up. lol.

Well that's all I have to say for now.
 
Hey, Amanda. I'm on Team 1, but you have my full support. You're going to rock this big time. Nothing like a little accountability to get the gremlins out, right? :party:
 
By the way, you have some really great people on your team. You guys are really going to kick ass. :gnorsi:
 
Just going to make a quick post here because I have to go and get some shit done. Well I started training for my 5K yesterday. I usually run at 6.5 mph for 30 minutes or so. I have decided to set a goal to complete the 5K in 25 minutes or less. This means I will need to keep a pace of around 7.2 mph for the whole race. So yesterday I jumped on the mill and bumped the pace up to 7.0 and ran 5K. I swear I almost threw up lol. Today I ran the same distance at the same pace and focused more on keeping a consistent breathing pattern. It really really helped.

Eats have been really good lately. I have not binged at all. I have not counted calories or points or jumped on the scale. I am doing this all with my own knowledge. I feel good and not like I am really on a diet. I think I am back into a good swing here and I hope to be able to keep it up for a good long while.

Today I am just tying up some loose ends that would take me longer to complete during school. I booked a trial date for my running a stop sign ticket and paid for my TWO parking tickets I received the past two nights in two completely different cities. I gotta go to my school now and get a course added in then it's off to the neurologist to FINALLY figure out what the deal is with this vertigo shit.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Great run, Amanda! That's a great pace.

I'd like to comment on your new avitar, :svengo: but I can't because it's just too hot and I'll be accused of being a dirty old man, which I'm not.
 
LOL thanks trops for the compliments all around. Once I get an ass like that I'll be taking the exact same shot haha.

My weekend was terrible. I didnt workout or watch my eating and I drank wayyyyy too much alcohol. I was drunk from Friday night till Saturday at 3 am. It was intense lol. I'm back at it today. I went to the gym this morning and did a hard 60 minute body attack class that kicked the shit outta me. I'm also back into the good eats too.

I jumped on the scale today and got an unofficial weigh in of 143.8. My TOM is almost here so that's why I say unofficial.

I start my first day of my last semester today as well. I just can't wait for it to be over haha. This semester will definitely be a toughy.

Applied Calculus and Computation
Industrial Organic Chemistry
Chemical Separation Processes
Biotechnology
Implementation of ISO 9000
Analytical Thesis Project
and probably DC Circuits

I'm also going to toronto tonight to visit Cory. I'll more than likely stay there overnight and go to school from there in the morning.
 
What's your major? Those look like some of the classes I've been taking. I'm a manufacturing engineering major.
 
Hey, just saw your avatar and knew you were on the team, hehe. It's a great butt pic! I wish I had one like that or like the one in mine.... really... like the one in most people's pictures... lol.
 
My major is chemical engineering. This is my last semester and it seems that it's going to be a tough one.

So things are not going so well in the eating department. There is one explanation for it. I got drunk at school yesterday since I hadn;t seen my friends in a month. Once I started to get hungry I grabbed a bag of chips from the vending machine. After class I went and got Burger King and then Cory asked me if I had ate when I got there and I lied and told him no so I could eat again. How pathetic is that?! Quite.

I also was hesitant to tell him that I ended up getting drunk but I told him anyways. That's one thing I'd rather not keep from him. He was pretty upset and told me that its the only X right now. He said everything else is checks. So I went to his hockey game and I had lots of time to think about what he had said and how upset he was that I drink so much. It has led me to the decision to seriously cut down on drinking. I had a couple of real incentives before, but this is probably the biggest incentive. If Cory ever decided to stop talking to me because of my drinking habit that would really upset me. So I'm going to cut back for real this time. No matter how much peer pressure I may get from my friends. If they don't like it then Fuck them. I need to do this for me and Cory is the only one who can really help me out here.

Well it's just about lunch time and I'm debating on what I want to eat. I think something greasy is in the horizon. I do plan to run tonight after school and I hope that I can get back to my good eats tomorrow so I can get lots of points for my team.

Anyways thats all for now.
 
Just go for that run and never mind the chips!

I think it's a great idea to ease off the alcohol... kinda reaching that point myself right now. Besides, SO many empty calories!

Here's to a sober, gorgeous and clearheaded year!
