10 LBS gone FOREVER!!! =)
Finally broke through 177 which I was stuck at for the past 2 weeks. I'm going to try my best and FitDay everyday this week and then record the amount of calories I consumed in this blog and also I will be recording my exercise which I always do on the side underneath 'Exercise Done This Week.'
8.5 more pounds to go. I'm looking forward to the 160's...I havent seen them in 4 years! Ahhhhh..... I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I'm losing weight. The right way. Finally.
..uhh
Um..I thought I was doing a challange?
I guess not. I should have known better then to start one in the middle of the week. I havent done too bad...except I didn't count calories for a number of days.
So the challange is still going to be there cause I'm going to bust my ass for the rest of July however it wont be as strict as I first intended it to be. I have been at 177 for the past 2 weeks! It's making me insane! Honestly, I cannot wait till I'm at 175..that will mean 10 pounds gone FOREVER!!!!! I havent lost 10 pounds before, this is so exciting!
For the past couple of weeks I have been thinking about joining a gym to take some classes. I think it will be good for me to try something new because I'm starting to get bored with my walking already. The only thing is, I cannot get over the fact that I'm embarassed to go to a gym. Seriously, isn't that the stupidest thing you have ever read? A fat girl embarassed to go to the gym? I mean..that's what I SHOULD be doing..that's what people do, go to the gym to get in shape..and here I am that wants to lose some lbs before she goes to the gym. I have to suck it up and just go and sign up. Another thing is, I'm afraid some people I know will be there..I know I know..I shouldn't care what other people think but it's hard not to.
And another thing, if I joined the gym I would have to drive there. Um I havent mentioned this before but I'm so SCARED of driving..I dont know why. I shouldn't be though cause I did my road test and passed last year. It's just that I havent driven in so long that I feel scared. I should definitley start driving around the block or something so I can get used to it.
Blah.
3 week mid summer challange
Okay, as you all know my goal for the end of August in 166.5 which would mean I have lost 10% of my starting weight. Right now I'm at 177...that means in order for me to reach that goal I need to lose 10.5 more pounds in the next 7.5 weeks which is quite ambitious. If I don't reach that weight by the end of August..thats OK with me, because I will know that I tried VERY hard. Anyway...I'm setting up a challange for myself for the next 3 weeks (less then 3 weeks actually but oh well) to be more accountable and ramp things up a bit. So heres what I came up with so far:
6 days of cardio 45-60 minutes
3 days of lifting
No more then 1600 calories per day
At least 2 veggies and 2 fruits a day
Stretching before and after exercise
3 meals and at least 2 snacks
That's it for now. It's only for 3 weeks because I want to see how this challange goes for me...if it goes good then I will start a new one at the beginning of August! =)
.....LET THE CHALLANGE BEGIN! =D
hmm
I'll be back tomorrow with a full out plan for a challange..not sure what I'm calling it yet but it's going to be kick ass! =)
Ack! I hate braces!
I don't think I have mentioned this in my blog before but I have braces, I got them quite recently actually..in April. I just got my bottom teeth braced up today and I really feel it. It hurts and it's hard to eat. Luckily, I only need the braces for a year and then I will have perfect teeth =D YAY. I never got them in high school because I just didn't want to be bothered with them...I regret not getting them in high school. I will be starting college in September and have to go into it with braces... that really sucks lol.
Anyway, the eating has been terrible. I couldn't stop snacking yesterday. For some reason I just couldnt get full ...it was really odd. However, my exercising has been good so far and hopefully will be for the rest of the week. Yesterday on my walk..I saw a guy I knew from HS he was with a friend standing by their cars at the park. I started to feel kind of embarassed of how I looked and thought I should just go home instead of passing by them again. I started asking myself, what is more important? my health or these scumbags from high school? So when I walked by them again I kept chanting that in my head over and over again. If it was the old me..I would have left the park in embarassment. I'm so glad I finished my walk, I went home feeling stronger then ever.
I'm trying to figure out if it would be useful for me to record my calories on here. They are already recorded on Fitday everyday but would it make me more accountable to put them on my blog?
