has anyone heard of this stuff??^^ does it work?

Low carb?

so im thinking i need something more drastic than counting my sugar....... back when i was 14 or so i started the atkins diet and lost about 15 pounds or so. i think i will allow myself to eat everything the atkins diet allows plus vegetables.  so its more low carb/ south beach diet i guess.

day 1

ive decided im going to count sugars! a friend of my moms lost 30 pounds by doing 45 grams of sugar a day (plus exercise of course! ). i figure if a 50 year old semi-active woman can lose that much weight by doing that, then a 22 year old active woman can too! my weigh in is on friday!

i went running today, and might go running again or walking tonight if im bored lol

college weight

ya know, I wish I was the kinda girl who could eat anything and stay super skinny.....unfortunately,  i did not inherit that gift. in fact, i have struggle with my weight since i was 14; i am now 22 and still dont have the "perfect body" that ive always wanted. however, i am not a quitter! this summer is a big deal! i plan on running EVERY day and swimming in our amazing new pool EVERY day!

i am very scared about weighing myself cuz i know ive gained at least 10 pounds at colllege,  if not more. but if i dont weight myself, i will never know how far ive come so im going to do it :(

frustrated

here i am at the end of my goal and i haven't reached it! to be honest tho i have broken all the rules so i guess this is my reward :( argh. so neways my new goal is 32 days from now right before i leave for college. I somehow have to go from being 147 to 130 in 32 days. impossible? no. challenging? YES!!!! can i do it? I am determined. so roughly 3 pounds a week. oh boy this is gonna be fun. Rules: no eating after 7, drinking water, exercise 5x per week (2x running per day, also weights), no soda, big breakfast, decent lunch and soup or salad for dinner. PERSISTENCE!

run run run

soooooooo i ran again which puts my total at 3x this week! whoohoo... see the funny thing is... im almost ok with my shape right now.... in fact sometimes i actually like my body. but the other thing is...... i know i will never be completely satisfied with myself until i reach my goal of 130 pounds even. weird, huh?

start over again!

one of these days im gonna lick this thing haha. updates are that its that time of the month, my granma passed away and i've been eating like a preteen w all the junk food we have laying around now. needless to say im pretty depressed right now with all the crap i have going on but 2 morow  November 15, 2010 and i will lose 10 pounds AT LEAST by Dec 17, 2010 which will put me at about 135.  I WILL make this thing work!

week 1 over

So i've totally cheated on my diet more times then i can count on all my fingers and toes but......IM TRYING!!!! lol i did the shred work out 3x last week and 2x so far this week. I can def feel like im burning fat when i do the work out... i sweat enuf neways haha even the level 1 workout is challenging. It's pretty old school but old school works, right? i have 37 days until my fiance' gets back so i have 37 days to push for my goal of 130! good luck to me haha

day 2 of shredding!

day 2 of the 30 day shred and im soooooooooooo sore!!! mostly in my quads and a lil in my arms. gonna c this thing thru!!!  i like how the work outs are only 20 mins long and how she incorporates cardio, strength, and abs. 30 days from now im hoping to be in the 130s, preferably lower 130s.

totally blew it today!

i did soooooo well all week with eating healthy and drinking my 72 oz of water a day and just blew it on the last day of the week! FAIL  somethings happened at work and i haven't seen my fiancĂ© for almost 2 months now so my emotions were running really high. i was so frustrated with everything that i just had a plate of chili nachos for dinner... TOTALLY BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean they were delicious lol but i immediately regretted eating them . I'm also struggling with having adult acne and scars ....they make me feel so ugly:( 

 on an upside I bought a copy of the "30 day shred" with Jillian Michaels and gonna compare my pix i took of me yesterday with the pics of me after my 30 day shred ;)
in the wise words of Dory "just keep swimming!"
