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
