OMG

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 04:28:20 GMT

I totally forgot about this thing! Still doing gym, diet, and living the healthy lifestyle all around. I've been busy in a good way. I changed my diet habits a bit which is funny because I'm eating lots more but different foods and I'm still losing weight. I kinda think I might've been putting myself into starvation mode accidentally. I had a checkup recently with my er whats the name gastro or is obste or man its a technical name for a weight-loss doctor. gastrologist? Anyway I'm doing very well. Oh and I'm loving strength training. I cant believe I used to hate it. It doesn't really take that much time and you're building muscle and making your body look better. Oh and the oddest thing has happened. I know everyone complains of additionally saggy boobs because of weightloss but my boobs are looking more pert and better. I don't know if thats the strength training but I quite like it. Well sorry about forgetting you guys. I guess I just don't really need the same support structure I did at first. I don't need the accountability of the journal. This doesn't mean I won't come back ever so often but it feels good to be able to stand on my own. I've been reading the communities tonight. It seems lots of people joined and then a few days later they're ready to give up. I remember those days very well and I gotta tell you it feels good that they're a memory and not the present. Well I hope you guys are doing really well. I hope your regimes are awesome and you're staying healthy. Tenna Telwan!

Not at 28

I have fat girl mentality still. I'm still overweight but not like I was previously. I was talking to a woman today. She had on some cool pants and I asked here where she bought them. She told me the store and also said she bought a pair in black that she doesn't wear that she'll prolly take back. I jumped at the opportunity. "Hey I'll buy that extra pair off you!". She looked at me perplexed. "You can't fit my size. I wear a 28." I said "Oh...yeah" I find it hard to believe. I wore that size not so long ago. I also realized my new boss (yes I took a job. i'm silly) weighs 160 pounds. Thats how much I guessed she weighed and then she told me/Plus they put it on our ID cards (mad eh?) so she wasn't lying. She looks awesome! Oh God. I love it! I'm stopping at 160. She's my height. She weighs what I wanna weigh. Today was a decent day. blessed be.

I'm

I'm annoyed at the fact that I can have one slightly high calorie day (1,500) with no gym thus I gain weight. Even if its a .8 of a pound. Its close enough to a pound and really that pisses me off something awful. Why? because the math/science isn't really right. I dont burn less than 1500 calories. Even if I'm light on the activity it doesn't add up to me naturally burning less than 1500 calories. I hate when the science fails me. Its usually my friend. Stupid science!

Anyhoo I put on a pair of pants I bought a while back. They were super tight and now they're well not. Coolness.

I also am in need of doing measurements again. I'm sure they've gone down especially on my *strikes pose* guns. Welcome to the gun show ladies

Heh its funny

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 04:36:38 GMT

Its funny being at the gym nowadays because there are loads of new people in there starting their new regimes. Its way overcrowded around 6pm so I'm very happy to be able to go during the day. Its rather awesome to know I've lost so much weight purely through willpower and work. Kinda shows I'm not quite the cream puff I coulda been. Yar!

First Morning WorkOut

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 13:15:49 GMT

I'm taking about a month or so off from working. I highly recommend it if you can do it because it gives you lots of time to focus on making smart choices. My regime kinda got flummoxed with me getting 5 kinds of sick. I've readded strength training despite the muscle pull scare but its all about repetition. Anyhoo I plan morning and evening workouts. I just need to go there before 10am. Also I think I am going to try the Reverse Diet for a week or so and see what happens. That chick lost 100 pounds in four months? wow thats some results.

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 00:33:29 GMT

Don't ya just love how inexpensive it is to consume healthier options?

2007 dietish resolutions

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 13:07:16 GMT

1) Try to kill my addiction to sugar.
2) Try to exercise early in the morning as well as later in the day
3) Try to workout at home in addition to gym

Number 1 will be hard because its honestly an addiction. Number 2 will be hardish because I've never been a "morning person". Number 3 will be easy as its something I've done before I've just gotten lax on it.

Anyhoo there they are. Its kinda fun to not have "lose weight" as my number 1 resolution since its something I'm already doing. My gym has been gearing up for their busy time of year so I assume the gym is gonna be madcap soonish. I might see a lot of people struggling but I hope they stick with it. I remember my first trip to the gym I saw this very big girl on th elliptical machine. She was going and going and going. When I saw her I felt inspired/validated because I felt if she could do it then so could I. It might be cool if that happened with me for others.

Anyhoo 2007 has began. Yeeha!

Stuff

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 04:12:46 GMT

I ate very lititle over the holidays so i'm feeling incredibly awesome about that. I feel very plateauish but I'm not. I'm just losing weight less and I find that bothersome. Regardless I'm doing pretty good so yay.

Cupcakes

Fri, 22 Dec 2006 03:42:26 GMT

There are cupcakes in the breakroom at work.....

They call to me even when I'm miles away....

The about tonight...

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 02:25:25 GMT

It started off weird with me having to call 911 to help someone having a seizure. Then I made it to the gym but a funk was over the night and I wasn't too happy. Burned about 700 calories in an hour or so. Definitely not my best at all. Still I went to the gym after having to call 911 to help someone having a seizure so cheers to me. I'm doing good. I like this whole going to the gym on a daily thing. Even low impact days are still an impact on the weight loss and so I say "Schweeeet!"

Good Day. Yah!

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 05:16:14 GMT

Burned 1,300 calories today. Took in 1,000ish so it works out pretty good. Im so tired. Im going to bed.

Good luck to everyone this season. I know its hard.

Odd

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 15:26:32 GMT

Its a bit odd to lose 3 pounds in one day. Why can't we all lose weight like that. I mean in a nice healthy way. Anyhoo down 3 pounds and happy for it. The goal from here until March is to go to the gym every day. 1,000 is my minimum. I adore the gym. I hope its not closed on Christmas.

own.

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 00:35:31 GMT

Heh 1,000 calories burned in 75 minutes. I....so....own.

Todays Goals

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 15:42:26 GMT

Today I want to take in 1,000 calories and no more. I've started with a 100 calorie banana and I'll eat a couple more hundred calories for breakfast then head off to the gym. I want to go to the gym today before 1pm. I also want to do 500 crunches and burn 1,000+ calories. I'll check back in later to make sure I've done all of this. If not I'll punish myself with no internets tomorrow and I know I don't wanna do that.

Reeeeegiiiime

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 00:44:11 GMT

Tue, 12 Dec 2006 03:53:48 GMT

Good exercise day. Very good. Especially since I got laid off from my job today and was very, very close to just coming home to be sad about it but figured there was nothing on tv and nothing at home so I might as well go to the gym. Elliptical and Ski-Machine were the main two. I'm scared of weight lifting. I'm honestly scared of it now because of the insane pain I was just in. I don't know when to add it back and what weight I should be lifting. I suppoose soon I'll have the time to resolve this issue but I don't want to put it off too long. Its not the weight that will hurt me. Its the me being silly and doing too much. Just gotta find a nice balance. Thing is...its hard to know if you're pushing yourself or injurying yourself until its too late and you're in pain. It wasn't my trainer but it was a personal trainer that pushed me to add more weight on sooooo I'm not per se trusting of them at the moment. Anyhoo I'm just being silly. Anyhoo my daily calories.... Well they were greatly in check till I came home and Doubled them. Ahhh still pretty good for the day (1,030). I wanted to do Yoga but it seems insanely expensive. Maybe I can get the dvds. Actually I do have some dvds. I'll try them out this weekendish. I want to lose 80 pounds between now and May 1st. I think this is entirely possible though hard. I don't feel like I'm pushing myself enough. Hmm.

Gym....

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 22:25:38 GMT

I've went on both days this weekend. This is great because I never do gym on the weekend. I usually do at home stuff but actual gym is greater than great. I fell inlove with the ski machine today as well. Yay for it. Its been really hard keeping my calories low though. Durn "winter brane" that thinks I should be storing up energy. I'm no bear you silly brane!

30 min workout

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 01:37:39 GMT

I love when you don't have the gym planned but decide to go for as long as you can , 30 minutes in this case, and then just give an awesome workout in that time. Plus I mean I know it sounds a bit mediocre but anything is better than nothing. Yay. 400+ calories burned that otherwise wouldnt have. I love it.

Gym

Tue, 05 Dec 2006 02:50:05 GMT

Yay back to the gym on a regular basis. I started off slow and did basically cardio since apparently its was my stupid weight lifting that hurt me so bad. I'll re-intro them but I'll stick with more repetition since I don't quite like hurting myself. I'd rather put in lots of time/not be hurt than deal with what I just did. My body did this weird thing while I was out of the gym. First I gained weight then lost it all really quickly after I was healed. I guess because it was a muscle injury? I dunno it was weird but good because I was depressed over it. I was so scared before I restarted. "What if I go back to barely lasting on the machines?" But I've been okay! Yay! Ahh November was a crap month. I was 5, count em, 5 kinds of sick! Thank God for December. Heh what an annoying thing illness is. Very annoying! Oh yay to be back on track.

Yaaay

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 19:56:24 GMT

I'm cleared to restart gym. Heh seriously I hope I never piss off a whole set of muscles again. They don't like doing too much. YAY!

Sucks

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 01:03:39 GMT

Im very ill now.....so much so that im on a massive amount of painkillers. Heh so suffice it to say the diet is kinda off right now. THIS....SUCKS.

benched!

Fri, 10 Nov 2006 14:26:05 GMT

I'm on a "rest and relax" regime for the next 2 days. This will make a 5 day holiday from the gym but it doesn't feel like a holiday it feels poopy. Silly sickness go bug someone else preferrably someone I really don't care about.

Hmm Biggest Loser

Thu, 09 Nov 2006 02:00:26 GMT

Why are they being such bitches to the new people to the house? Its like they're offended by their success. "If you follow a regime then your weight will come back?" WTF does that even mean?

I'm not sure which is better

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 03:15:28 GMT

I usually do Cardio and then end with strenth training but now I'm wondering if I should try that in reverse. Does anyone know if there is a "tried and true" right or wrong with regards to that? Anyhoo tonight was Cardio then Strength Training and I did great. Also I'm experimenting with my caloric intake. I don't wanna go too low but I kinda think my calories have been too high for too long. As I'm losing weight it seems natural that I should cut that amount down. Ya know what I do find cool is that even for the past 50ish pounds Ive averaged the same amount of burned calories in 30 minutes (450ish). I know you think "geez shouldn't you be getting better" but as you lose weight you burn less calories so actuaully I'm doing great to burn the same amount as 50 pounds ago. I find that my RPM's is much higher. Hah I remember barely doing 35 RPM at Level 1 on the Elliptical when I started. Tonight was an average of 68 at varying levels of 5-15.

I LOVE THIS JOURNEY I'M ON! Doesn't it feel great to leave the gym? Its like you walk outside of the place and you're almost sure you can Fly. Yay.

The Report Card

Fri, 03 Nov 2006 04:34:03 GMT

Week One--B+

It was a decent week with a lot of effort. I hurt myself but then relearned how to push myself but not too hard. I gave myself a B+ because I missed a day of gym.

Week Two--

so far is going FANTASTIC I've been exercising at gym and at home. I've been doing my strength training and my cardio and keep my calories in check despite sillyness on Halloween. I'm really excited for the upcoming weeks because it means that by the end of the year then I'll be so frikkin skinny. Okay not so frikkin skinny but not super fat and thats awesome. Onederland tra la la and all that is in sights very much so. I wanna start doing crunches more because I need to work on my abs. Its not a focal point thing but a strength training thing. I need to work those muscles just as much as every other muscle group

Ya know its really cool when you think how much weight you've loss even if the weight loss is slowed down its still amazing to know you've done someting thats really tough. What I think is so cool is that it's been hard, no doubt, but I never had that whole "oh I'm gonna allow myself to screw up for this time and then I'll totally restart later" thing. No stops just continued hard work. Schweet.

Cheers and goodnight!
