Hey Shaun thanks for swinging by my diary. I was thinking about you on the way to school which is kinda weird since I just got this message now. I've been checking on you daily but just haven't written anything and was considering doing so. I guess we both kinda fell off the wagon (me moreso than you) but it's good to be getting back on.

Well today is going well so far. I had my weigh in today and will finally tell all the number I'm at.
Week 1: 146.6
Week 2: 143.4 (-3.2)
I have 10 weeks to go now until the end of the year and just under 2 lbs per week to lose to get to my goal by January 1. I'll probably continue to post something like the above as the weeks go on. I must say though that I am pissed off that the scale isn't lower. I have been at 143.4 for the last 3 days. I notice that when I take the RevXP the scale goes down and when I don't (but still eat well and workout) it doesn't, so with that being said I've decided to give up those damn stupid pills. I don't need them anyways now that I'm back into a pretty good groove. It does seem like forever since I've seen a number below 143 though so once I do see that number I'll be extatic.
I went to the cardio kickboxing class today at the school. The first time in a couple weeks. He didn't make the class that intense but I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow. At the end of the class he did some push ups and ab work. My abs are still pretty sore from the ab dvd a few days ago so today it felt like I was being sliced with a knife everytime I released from a crunch. I still pushed through it even though the pain was seriously unbearable.
For breakfast today I had a low fat cranberry muffin from Tim Hortons, and a fruit and nut bar for snack. Lunch was a ham sandwich on rye with mustard and fat free mayo. My other snack will be grapes and dinner will be half a chicken breast with something. Probably a salad and maybe a roll... but probably not.
It's Aurora's bday today so I might be meeting her at Tracks after I'm done at work. I might also have a drink if she has one just cus it's her bday and shes my best friend.
And I REALLY REALLY REAAAALLLLYYYY hope that the scale is down to 142.X tomorrow. Ohhhh man I can't weight for tomorrow's weigh in. Though the scale isn't moving, the fat is and I can tell in my stomach. It feels firmer than it has lately and a bit flatter. Woot Woot!!!

Tracks actually didn't happen last night. So I didn't drink at all. I was going to smoke a joint with my friend last night but it got late so I decided I didn't want to go out. I was pretty hungry last night but decided not to eat anything. My mom went to the grocery store last night and bought the most horrifying things for my sister (she was complaining about not having any snacks in the house.) Some things she bought :ice cream, choco chip muffins, gushers, chips, etc. All crap. I have yet to give into any of it.
Today is yet another pretty good day. I had some oatmeal for breakfast and a fruit and nut bar for snack. For lunch I had a ham sandwich again and some mango slices. I came home and wasnt planning on eating anything, but just had a little leftover minestrone soup. Now I am starving and dinner is going to be chicken breast with salad I think. The chicken breast is in the oven so that's going down for sure. I've got some cravings today that I'm hoping will go away or will be fixed by a small treat. I was supposed to go to the Mandarin chinese buffet today with my friends but that flopped and since then I've just wanted to eat out tonight. Blah!! For exercise today I did the step and strength class at school. It's been a while since I've done that. The instructor was like "ok today we're working on legs" I was like WTF?! I thought we already are working legs?!?! Nope she made us do squats and stuff. It was intense. Enough said!
So I got my analytical chemistry mid term back today (the one I woke up at 3 am last week to study for) and I got 75% on it. I thought I'd done much better but it was just stupid things I did wrong that got me deducted marks. Like not keeping my units in sync (ml or L) for the whole equation. Just stupid. Oh well though. I guess it's better than a 60.
Another crummy thing that happened today. I had to get my car emission tested today for my sticker renewal and it failed. Now I have to get the car diagnosed and fixed and re-tested before I can get my sticker. Ughhhhhhhhhhh.
That's all for now!!!

Working on legs for that class was probably one of the best things. It will really kick the shit out of you, but in a good way. It works so many muscles they don't know what to do but start burning off the fat.
Gotta watch those units. I have a friend who just started teaching a college course and I was helping him make up and then grade the tests. You'd be surprised at how many silly mistakes were made. (Solve for X: X= whatever I just came up with in my head.
What were they thinking?)

I am definately feeling those damn leg workouts today I tell ya. Everything from the waist down is soo sore. It's really great!
So let's start with the bad and work up to the good. One thing I learned last night: Never wait for your mom to get home to eat dinner if you are STARVING hours before hand. This lead to be going on a nasty nasty binge. I'll run though the things I had: A couple bites of ice cream, a couple chocolates (halloween candy size), a croissant dipped in blueberry jam, (then we went to Home Depot. When I got home...) a granola bar, a slice of bread with nutella, and 3 more chocolates. I actually had a tummy ache from all the chocolate I ate and had trouble sleeping until it went away.
Now the good. I was very hesitant to weigh myself today because I knew I would be heavier. To my suprise, I was down in weight regardless of all the food I had after dinner. I call yesterday a get out of jail for free day. I fucked up and things still turned out alright. So now that I have screwed up so terribly, today I am making a serious effort to do very well with my eats and watch the scale really drop tomorrow. (Provided I dont drink tonight. I'll try my best). I went to the gym today to do the step class and found out that it's at 1:10 not 12:10, so I left all my stuff in the locker and walked out in my gym clothes so I'm forced to go back in an hour and workout. Otherwise, I'd have gone to the bar. Yesterday's step class had such a great impact on my weight that I wont let myself miss today's. Even though I'm pretty hungry and have to wait another hour before I can have lunch. It'll be worth it for sure!.
So eats today are low fat cranberry muffin for bfast, and a fruit and nut bar for snack. Lunch will be a ham sandwich and a 90 cal snack pack thing. My other snack will be an apple and dinner will be some chicken breast with salad and a roll. Unfortunately, I won't have much of a break inbetween my lunch, snack, and dinner. But that's fine.
So tomorrow is my birthday and I'd really like to get a workout in before I get the party started. I'm going to be drinking excessively and would just like to burn off some of my calories before I consume way to many. I am just not sure I'll have the motivation to do so. I'm hoping the scale tomorrow might help me with that.

Amanda, Happy Birthday, if I don't get on tomorrow or I forget.
So good that the scale didn't punish you. I guess that step class did the trick, huh? One thought, when you are starving and find yourself grazing or craving, what about giving in to it. Instead of having a couple spoonful of ice cream, candy bars, nuttella, granola bar, croissant and jam, what about just making yourself up a bowl of ice cream. Get the craving out of your system with a full serving. Make a full sandwich instead of grabbing this and that. Just a thought.
Hope the class went as well today as yesterday.

Hey everyone!! i'm back and 21!!! woohooo!!! And thanks sooo much guys for the birthday wishes!! I'm amazed at how many people actually came here!!
Well my bday was sooo much fun. I drank wayyyy too much. I ate really bad too. Not just on my birthday, yesterday too. I went to the mandarin with my family saturday and pigged right out. Last night after work I got mcdonalds too. And today I was right back on track.
I went to a class this morning called body attack and it was pretty good. There were a lot of cheesy moves but it was a great workout. My eats today have also been pretty good. I had Fiber one for breaky and one slice of ham for my post workout protein. Snack was a fruit and nut bar and lunch was a corned beef sandwich on rye with some swiss horseradish and mustard. My other snack was an apple and dinner was a chicken breast (skin removed) with veggies and half a multigrain roll from work. I haven't weighed myself officially today but I honestly think that I am still in a good position and will achieve my goal of 141.0 by the end of the month.
So anyways just wanted to quickly check in. I have to go to bed now because I have a long as day of classes (and I havent been attending my last class as of late. Whcih changes tomorrow!!!)
Night!!!

Thanks Anke!
Alright so it's been a few since I've been on here. I'll try to fill everyone in on what's been going on. My sister's wireless adapter has decided to be MIA on her laptop which is the only internet source in the house. I know I could hook up the laptop to a phone line or anything but I just haven't got around to it yet... so I'm at school on the internet.
Well after my bday I stuck to the terrible eating. I didn't stop. I went back up to 147 ish. Then decided that I really need to crack down on this weight loss thing. So I decided to restart on November 1st. This didn't go as planned because I had a bad day of eats. So November 2nd I started. I've decided to buy a calender and write down my morning weight every day. When I have a full day of good eats and I feel it was an overall successful day in the weight loss journey I'll cross the day off. I've also decided to convince myself that I do not "crave" things anymore. So far it's been going pretty good. I haven't really craved anything and if I do I tell myself I don't crave things and put in my best effort to shut it out. If I do feel like something (like ice cream) I'll take a very small portion (try to get close to the serving size on the nutrition label) and just have that. I didn't workout yesterday but was still down .6 today which means that my eats are in the right place.
Another huge thing happened on November 1st. I joined a gym. It's Goodlife Fitness. One just opened by my house and they had a grand opening special. No joining fee and no payment till January. At that point payments are 23 bi weekly so 46 a month. I find this to be very manageable. I've gone to the gym a couple of times and really enjoy the classes. They have a body pump class that is 1 hour of barbell focusing on every muscle group for one full song. I've done it once and can still feel it two days later haha! But I'm going again tonight (to body pump) and will maybe get some treadmilling in afterwards.
That's pretty much where I'm at now. I really hope I can stick to this now. There's nothing special to hold me back until christmas dinner. So wish me luck and I'll try to get on here more with updates and stuff.

Hey Nov 2 was my new beginning too!! And you're right there really is nothing to hold me back for the rest of the year. Halloween was disasterous!! And the bad eating continued through the weekend and I totally felt like crap.... I just want to get into the 130s by the end of the year.
Let's do this lady!!! TOGETHER!!!
Cheers!

Alright I don't have much time to post on here because I gotta make the step class, so Dee and Ankee I'll respond to you two later. But I appreciate you coming in here and leaving some love
The past couple days have been going pretty well. I haven't craved, I havent slipped up, and I've been really good with workouts. I did the body pump class on Tuesday night and I wasn't even sore the next day from it....except for my quads. Yesterday I did the cardio kickboxing class at the school gym and there was someone subbing for the regular instructor. Her workout was too low intensity and I hardly broke out a sweat. I definately wasn't able to push myself nearly as hard as I would have liked to. She did do squats though and with my sore quads from the previous day... they were pretty rough. But at least it was a workout and I did get in some sweating.
So today is the step and strength class at the school. Tomorrow is another step class at the school. It seems there is always a fun class to do and I'm wondering when I'll have my day off in the week. Probably either mondays or tuesdays.
I also went on the scale this morning and was down another .4. For some reason I'm expecting higher drops and am therefore not really pleased with this number. But since I'm down 1.4 in the last 3 days I should probably be happy. I was at 141 only two weeks ago though and I just feel like I should be dropping quickly to that number.. but nope. Oh well.. I'm expecting a big loss tomorrow morning though because of the step class that I KNOW will push me to the absolute limit.
My main downfall right now is not with the dieting... it's with school....and my car. I am getting really behind in just one class because I dont have the internet at home (it's online). I have 4 late assignments now and will push to get them done tonight. I am also trying to list my car. It started overheating on me the other day and I had to go in and spend 95 bucks today to get some part fixed. The antifreeze wasn't reaching the rad or something. All chinese to me. Anyways.... in the last 3 weeks I've spent 900 in total to be able to drive my car (from license renewal to oxygen sensor replacement and now the rad). I just can't be bothered with the shit box any longer. I want it gone. So who wants to buy my shit box??? lol.
Anyways going to step and strength now WOOT!!
