Weight loss blog... days 9 & 10

So yesterday would be day 9 I guess, I'm all fuzzy on the days. But yesterday I weighed in at 129, then blasted 250 cals on the treadmill, did 200 various types of crunches, and took in about 1000 calories. I also got some great tips which I will post later.
Today, day ten, I woke up early, fought with my computer(which probably does NOT burn calories), burned another 250 cals on treadmill and so far have had a cup of coffee and a 100 calorie banana.weighed-in at 127. more later

What day is it?? Weight loss blog

So, the last time i wrote i metnioned i was going to my alma mater to party with my friends. Thats a bad idea for a person who's consuming 1000 calories a day. But I went, and found ut that weight loss isn't just about controling your urge to eat, its about controling your urge to put anything to your lips. For instance, a glass or bottle. I went and partied hardy with my friends. I also slipped and hit my head and ended up in dolestown hospital for the 3rd time... well, the third time i was brought in in such a condition. Instead of focusing on my poor little head, the hosp thought I was another overly drunk college student who was wasting their time. Ether way, over the last 3 days i have not eated 3 meals a day and probably way less than 1000 calories. I've lost my appetite, I'm tired all the time, and I lost a lot of hours at work... Life is about choices, and you can't have everything. Want to be thin? Then either you party like the stars (cough nichole ritchie, lindsay lohan, or britney spears) and accept the bad rep that comes along with it, or you sip your drinks slowly like a good little girl and enjoy every momoent of what you are doing and who you are doing it with. Even before I tried dieting a million times I've been rolling this concept over in m head. Now that my head hurts, I hope it finally sets in. And I will begin with... I think it was day 5?... tomorrow when I feel better : ) sorry guys. Daily weigh-in is at 127.
P.S. On Saturday I bought a dress for the formal that is magnifique!! Now I gotta model that one and the one Robynn from work is lending me and pick one! : )

Day 4- Project Weight loss

For those of you how are saying "shut up you spoiled skinny brat", here's to you. Today I weighed in at 127...again. Which goes to show that you have to step it up a notch to reach your goal. But, I think I've reached a nice plateau- Thank you Miley Cyrus for making clothes (size M) that are decently stylish and fit me : ) So with my new Miley cyrus design shirt on, I have big plans for today that don't include over-dieting. I will go in early to work to enjoy a free luncheon from our Concerta rep (Krave sandwiches! my faaav). I will not try to calorie count it tho. I had half a cup of coffee for breakfast, I'll have another at work, I'll drink a whole bottle-if not more- of water, and when the doctor's leave early today, so will I. I'll be on my way to my Alma Mater for an all-greek alumni event : ) and I will probably grab some wawa mac 'n cheese on the way(how I miss it!) and I will have a few drinks : ) I won't get to work out today either, but I look great and my 'happy' hormones will be flowing. Have a great day!

Day 3 (project weight loss)

Today I not only canceled my subsription to a 'revolutionary new weightloss aid', but I tried a new ab exercise.
Pike 90
Lie faceup; raise legs until perpendicular to floor, feet flexed. Lower right leg so it hovers 1 or 2 inches off floor and place hands lightly behind head. In this position, do 15 crunches, lifting chest toward ceiling and lowering. Switch legs and repeat.
[Can anyone raise their legs perpendicular to the floor while laying on you back, cuz I can't! But I tried!]
P.s.- read this http://chris.pirillo.com/50-weight-loss-tips/
STATS:
Intake:1089 calories(+/- 10). I did a two mile work-out today, and blasted 348 calories! Plus, I brought my 'step' upstairs and did a step dance workout : ) Weigh-in at 127, yeah buddy! And let me tell you, I start my workouts with sneakers, shorts, and a long sleeve pullover sweatshirt on. When it gets too hot I take it off and finish in a tank top or even my bra. when you're in your bra and shorts and there's a mirror around while you workout, you can really see what you're working on. You may not like what you see at first, but soon you can see results. And seeing your problem area can either a)help you embrace it or b)help you erase it. Doing a step workout (aka dancing using the step to lil john's song 'shots') in a bra and shorty shorts shows me my ass-ets and my flaws all in one, something to be proud of and something to work on.

Day 2 of project weight loss

Day 2...
Started off a little rocky. I have a prob where I can't force mself to go to sleep until like 2am, thus I sleep til (today) 11AM. Horrible. I should be on the treadmill by 10am any given day, should be up eating at 9:30. SHOULD.
Something I want to share with you:
On my mirror in my bedroom I have taped a piece of paper with a sample eating plan for any day. It reads-
Hey there sexy- let's shed some poundage and look HOT!!!
up early?(6/7AM) Small SNACK
-1 piece toast w/ PB, Special K bar, fruit, and/or glass of juice
Breakfast(9/9:30AM)
-Spcial K cereal, Slim Fast shake, Toast w/PB, fresh fruit bowl, Lit&fit yogurt
-Coffee/gren tea.... maybe small glass of juice
Lunch (NOON/12:30)
-Sandwich with frech ingredients, Lean Cuisine mini pizzas, Sushi, Salad w/chicken, frech chicken quesadilla
-DRINK WATER
need a SNACK?(3/3:30PM)
-Special K bar, fresh fruit or veggies, crackers, cheese cubes
-cofee/green tea(drink WATER when you want to cheat!)
Dinner(6-7PM)
-start with fresh small salad w/tomatoes, carrots, and low-fat balsamic or O&V
-weight watcher/smart ones/lean cuisine dinner, single serving wheat or whole grain pasta, grilled chicken w/veggies
DESSERT is good for you(8:30-9PM)
-low fat frozen yogurt/sorbet, italian ice, dark chocolate pieces, special K bar, fresh fruit

In florida, this worked because each of those times was asociated with something in my work schedule. Not so much anymore. At 6am i'm snoozing, I'm lucky if I'm up at 9:30, 12 I'm trying to get ready for work, 3 I'm working, 6 (well I work til 7 and get home at 7:30)... sucks now.
Day 2's Stats:
I only stayed on the treadmill(since I was running late for work) long enough to burn 165 calories. I consumed 1173 (which included:vanilla slimfast shake,coffee with flavored creamer, a low fat mozzerella string cheese, dinner of one pork chop(breaded and fried) with a half cup of applesauce and a cup or rice pilaf, and a slimfast snack bar). I plan to do 100 or more crunches before bed... ugh... p.s. I weighed in at 128 this AM, prob lost a bunch of water weight is all which is NOT what I wanna do... but I'm WORKING ON IT

New Project- WEIGHT LOSS

What are blogs really for? Is it to share aspects of your life with people you don't know and hope they care, hope they have suggestions? is it a place to log your thoughts? I don't know if anybody reads this, but maybe this blog can help me out.

Many women in America struggle with weight. I'm not talking about 300+ pounds because truthfuly, that's your own fault if you let yourself go like that. I'm talking about an extra 10lbs, 20lbs, 50lbs, 75lbs, and yes, 100lbs. Have you ever seen a pound of fat? Its hideous!! Google it sometime, ugh you'll become sick to your stomache. What I'm getting at is being overweight is bad for your health and your psyche... But its the people who are slightly over weight who have the hardest time losing it and probably the hardest time coping with it. Glamour Magazine came out with some "normal size" models posing nude together. Most women who are struggling with that extra 15lbs or so were so grateful, men thought 'mmm I'd hit that', but some people wondered why in the world they'd be featured with the twigs that prance across theat magazine's pages. WHY NOT? I'd like to model in a magazine, or be in a movie, or be on tv....

BWI says I should weigh in at 122 to be healthy. I'm 5' 2" and I weigh in at 130. Not far off, but once you've seen a pound of body fat, you'll understand. Muscle is more dense than fat, but fat takes up more space- in all of its lumpy, jello-like gloriousness(ugh nauseous). My doctor told me I could stand to lose a few pounds, and I feel she's right. Those few pounds make a nice little 'bulge' over what could be abs. I'm Italian, so I accept I have child bearing hips as part of my frame, but I could shave an inch or two... I could be a size 7 or 5 jean again. And I've been trying for months and its a hell of a roller coaster.
SO ... DAY 1 ...yesterday morning I weighed in at 129.5. BY April 17th I'd like to be 122 if not 120. Any suggestions?
I am currently:
*Calorie counting
*DRinking a slimfast shake for a meal
*NOt eating anything after 8:30
*Doing an incline 4mph walking workout on my treadmill(I have bad knees)
*boosting my metabloism with 2-3 cups of coffee or green tea a day
*filling in with water when I'm hungry
DAY 1 Stats: I consumed 1143 calories(sonsisting of:coffee w/ flavored creamer, a pb&j pita sandwicg, 6 pieces of california roll, and some general tso'd chicken w/ rice, plus some snapple(not a whole bottle but still added in), did 200 crunches and burned 345 calories on the treadmill. This is how I roll

whats a 'Creak?'

So today was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. After saying hello to the puppies i the mall's petstore and having dinner in the mall food court and watching 'She's outa my league' we stood in the doomed overhang of the theatre talking and making out and being silly because we didn't want to venture thru the rain. So I started molesting him and telling him what fun it would be to go into one of the alcoves and mess around, and he said "You're such a lil ... CREAK." And I laughed and said "A what? A creak? What the hell is a creak? Is that like a mix between a creep and a freak? Are one of those what you meant to say? Cuz i'll be sad if you're calling me a creep, but you're right if you're calling me a freak!" (in the kinky way, ya kno)
you might have had to have been there, it cracked me up and our laughter resonated off that archway, drowning out the rain

Cancun cont'd....

Our most overused phrase for the vacation was "what time is it?". Probably because we turned our phones off on the plane to avoid charges, so our 'watch' was my ipod touch(and needless to say we didn't bring it everywhere with us). I won't lie, the thought crossed my mind countless times that I could, or rather should, miss my return plane and stay forever. Sand, sun, and the most gorgeous shade of blue that water has ever been. Jungle, beaches, natural and man made wonders... and a simpler lifestyle overall. Move down there and man a catamaran for the next 40 years- yes please! Live on a Ranchero and be a vaguera riding the beaches? You got it! I could work at one of the hotels, helping out those who speak english for all i care lol. It could be...
What did we do? Drink, yes...eat,yes...mayan ruins, check(one of the 7 wonders btw)...drunk boat(or catamaran) to the isla mujeres(Island of women), hell yeah...ride a scooter all over the island, stall it, and be slightly stranded in the ghetto because we couldn't get it started, nuf said... hold a shark- you'd better believe it... ride a jetski in the carribean ocean, yep... ride a 'stang across Playa del Carmen, Thank you God yes. What didn't we do? Hit the clubs? I do that enough back home. We substituted clubs for Margaritavilla and had a blast without paying a covercharge. The kids at our hotel who were from canada kept calling me the yeager girl cuz I was wearing my yeagermiester shirt when they met me. They met me cuz I overheard them talking about being from new brunswick and I was like "you guys are from jersey too?" they were highly confused until I told them there was a new brunswick in NJ and they told me there was a new brunswick in canada- I was surprised, they didnt have much of an accent. Luckily for us we missed out-for the most part- on the invasion of teeny boppers... I mean the Mexican police were lining the road into Cancun in full bullet proof armour with military rifles when we were leaving and the Spring Break season was about to start. Not to mention a military boat doing who knows what in the water right off of our resort. Like really? is that necesary?
Overall, Jack and I survived a week in a foreign country without killing each other. Actually, the thought never occured. And by far the most beautiful thing I saw: the veiw from horseback. Being on a horse is breathtaking enough to some one with an equestrian passion... Being on horseback on a white sand beach with coral strewn and palm trees leaning into the lapping waves, sun beating down and no sense of time or relativity to the modern world, where blue sky meets slightly whitecapped bluer water... God must have been beside himself. Sometimes I let myself doubt my religion, but a sight like that is not a happenchance, or a freak of nature... God made things beautiful, far away from war and hate and differences. Someday, I hope my place in heaven is as miraculous as that beach that I rode out onto from the jungle path. I was in awe, somthing I am not in often... not on a normal basis at least. Thank You God
