I just realized that I’m 10lbs away from my goal weight.
good thing I just bought a Jillian Michaels DVD to get my ass in gear.
well, this is going to be an interesting 3 weeks…
so, my boyfriend and I decided to get our butts in gear for the next 3 weeks and eat healthy and work out before my vacation to see him at the end of may. I decided that my tumblr would be a great place to post my progress so he and I can keep each other motivated. :)
starting weight: 157
day one: ran/walked a mile and a third (aka 4 laps at the park). I knew I was out of shape, but I’m not as bad as I thought I’d be. I’m going to try to walk less tomorrow and maybe just do a jog instead of a full on run. when I got home, I attempted some push ups and sit ups.. but I think I’d do better if I did those prior to running. tonight i did some crunches.. i didn’t want to do too much of anything because i don’t want to tire myself out early. better luck tomorrow!
for breakfast I had a couple bananas. I woke up late, so that’s all I really had time for. lunch time, heather and i went to wegmans and got $6 meals. i got grilled lemon pepper chicken breast with a side of couscous, spinach, and feta, and a side of butternut squash, spinach, and craisins. yum! oh, and a little pack of apple slices and peanut butter. i didn’t really have a dinner, but i did eat like 5 or so mini butterfingers candies at work. :( oh well, no ones perfect. i’ve also been drinking water like its my job, and i’ve noticed that helping a lot. yay me.
time for skype and bed. BYE.
weight watchers + pregnant sister = nearly impossible.
so, i’m visiting my sister and it’s really difficult to eat well with a woman eating for two around. i’ve hopefully been doing okay with my points, but i’ve just been eating lots of cool and different foods since i’ve been here and the WW app doesn’t calculate points for Alligator or Frog Legs. haha. oh shucks.
i’ve basically been over-estimating points - just to be safe. i’m hoping it’ll help somehow. we’ll see how our road trip adventure goes tomorrow morning.
weigh-in number twenty three.
down another pound and a half! :)
and what did i do to reward myself? i ate like shit today with chicken fingers and fries for dinner. it was so delicious and now i feel like a slob. the funny thing is, i was craving veggies all day. i just didn’t want to do any full-out grocery shopping, so i went with the easy option. am i regretting it? kind of yes, kind of no. i really did enjoy the barbecue-y goodness and the crinkle-cut fries… but if i could have just sucked it up and gone to Wegman’s for fruit and veggies and maybe some chicken, i could’ve made a fantastic dinner for one. oh well, thats what i’ll do this weekend. :)
weigh-in number twenty two.
well, it has been a frustrating few weeks. i haven’t lost.. in fact, i gained 3 pounds during the time i haven’t been updating… that is, until this past week!
i have gotten so terrible at tracking. its not that i wouldn’t track my points, i’d just always go over. i made sure that this past week i was good. i didn’t want to go over, and i didn’t. and you know what that got me? four pound weight loss! (which really just equals out to one pound weight loss, but i’ll take it!)
my daily points even went down to 26 per day! woo! :)
i have two points left.
two. stupid. points.
i have been going over in points a lot lately, which is why i keep maintaining. and i know i should probably try to gobble up something worth two points… but i really just kind of want to call it even. so i will.
Weight Watchers update.
hi,
for those of you who follow me because of my weight loss stuff - i’m kinda sorry. i’ve not been posting weigh-ins, because i’ve been maintaining the last few weeks and it frustrates me to keep posting the same thing. so, updates will continue once i start dropping again. (it might be happening soon now that i don’t eat cookies on a daily basis.. cough cough)
weigh-in number twenty one.
hi. sorry, i forgot to update on monday/tuesday.
wellllll, considering all the garbage i’ve been eating, thanks to the holidays, i haven’t lost anything. but i’m not complaining. :)
sorry for such a short post… i’ve got to get back to sewing! but i would love to mention WW’s new barcode scanning app. it is AWESOME. get it. now.
I don’t care if this offends anyone. i am PROUD of my progress into a healthy life.
April 10, 2011 weight: 181 (my heaviest ever)
December 13, 2011 weight: 160
now, I didn’t start trying to lose weight in april. my journey didn’t begin until the end of june, when i lost 5 pounds after being away with the Army for a month and it was that little 5 pounds that started it all. I still want to lose 15 to 20 more pounds… but i am damn proud of this. i had completely forgotten that i took these “before” type pictures until i was going through my tumblr and saw them on a private post… which then lead me to take the new pictures just to see any changes. i wasn’t even planning on posting the new pictures (or the old ones, for that matter!) until i saw the difference from april until now.
i am one proud motherfucker. :)
*edit: i had to reblog this from myself because the original was a private post. and i guess when i published it, it wasn’t considered new. :\ OH WELL.
weigh-in number twenty.
i lost another pound! :D this is great.
Total WW Weight Loss: 16lbs
Total Weight Loss: 21lbs
WW Honey-Ginger Chicken Thighs
reblogging for future-reference
weigh-in number nineteen.
guess what, tumblr?! i’m over my plateau! i’ve lost FOUR pounds since last weigh-in! i think it has something to do with my new lower number of daily points, but i’m not complaining. i re-weighed myself 6 times this morning to make sure i wasn’t seeing things. :) yay me!
Total WW Weight Loss: 15lbs
Total Weight Loss: 20lbs
*edit*
i realized that i missed a weigh-in or few… so uh, we’ll just pretend i’m at 19. k? k. :)
something about the holidays brings out the worst in people.
random facts:
my daily points for WW went from 29 a day, to 27. i’m not sure what thats about, if its good, or bad, or anything.
i’m obsessed with leather. a large portion of my senior collection will consist of it. needless to say, PETA will not be invited to my fashion show.
my Army friends are hilarious and i love them all. they always have my back. <3
my work friends, on the other hand, are falling apart due to a certain situation and my view on things. just because a person we love and care about does something terribly wrong does not mean (in my eyes) that we should hate them. if you can easily flick that switch from love to hate, it was never true friendship in the first place. i’m not sorry that i am keeping my friendship with someone.
Dear Gordon Biersch,
I love your beer, but i am terribly upset that your Marzen Barbecue Burger was 42 points.
good thing i only had fruit for breakfast… and walked up and down my schools stairs over 5 times.
weigh-in number eighteen.
so, i haven’t stuck to WW in the last week and a half. school is stressing me the fuck out. life is pissing me off. emo complaint. emo complaint. emo complaint.
i did weigh myself today, and there was no change. i need to get my shit together. i also need a boyfriend, but that is another issue for another time. wah.
on an uplifting note, a few ladies at work started WW because of my awesome progress. they are looking great. hopefully i wont let anyone down!
