I haven't gone anywhere. I just don't have time to post. The semester is winding down in a month or so, so hopefully I will be able to post more then. I've lost 16.5lbs. now. It's not has good as I would like, but it's ok. I've been so busy that exercising and eating right aren't really high in my proirities anymore, which is horrible! But I plan to work on that. I just wanted you to know that I'm still here. Don't give up on me!!
Sorry it's been so long since I have blogged. School has taken a horrible toll on me these past couple of weeks. I am overwhelmed, which has made me somewhat depressed. On top of that, I took another job (stupid me!) so now I have even less time. I'm just glad that this semester is going by rather quickly. Despite all of these stresses I have still been doing great- I've lost 12 lbs!! I haven't been eating all that great this past week because I had no time to go to the grocery (we resorted to fastfood), but I still did well with options and portions so I'm proud of myself. I did get in a little exercise this week. I just haven't been losing weight that fast, but I am on track towards my goal of losing 35 before the end of Dec. I am really excited b/c I tried on my old, expensive "7" jeans from Lane Bryant, which have always been tight and now they fit really well. YAY! Also, some of my older tops and pajamas pants are fitting better. I am really motivated now. I still get tempted by french fries and cookies, but other than that I'm doing great. Thanks for all of your support! You are great!
hello. i hope all is well with everyone. sorry i haven't written much lately. this semester has been so much harder than i thought it was going to be, especially my Survery of Southern Lit.(online) and Vector Imaging classes. i am so stressed!! I am doing really well though. I have still been unable to get in major exercise- my only exercise is walking around campus and cleaning house. I plan to make that better though when the newness of school wears off. I have lost another 3.5 pounds though-that makes a total of 7lbs I am still food journaling everyday and that really helps. I have stayed under 1,300 calories and mostly under 27 grams of fat per day. I am excited for when I will have enough time to exercise. My mom and my husband are so proud of me. My husband even said he can see a difference in me and he brags about me to everyone. Thanks for all your great encouragements!!
I am going to have to make it short tonight, and I may not even get to write until Wed. night b/c of my hectic schedule. My husband and I are helping stuff inserts into out college paper M-W this week. We have to be there at 5am, which means I have to get up at 3:45 so I can take a shower and get ready so I can leave the pressroom and be at work by 8am. So I am having to go to bed before 9pm a few nights. Not to mention school started today so I am very tired. I am taking 2 online classes and 2 art classes, and they are all very time consuming. In one of the online classes, Survey of Southern Lit., we have to read 9 novels this semester--i'm so scared!! Didn't get my exercise in today, but I have been walking all over campus and standing up most of the day so that counts for something. I am down 3.5 from last week w/o even exercising!! yay! Hopefully it will be more this week. I even went out to eat this weekend, but I did great with my portions. I don't know if this will help you guys or not, but when I crave something really fatty and bad I just think of like lard or grease or something, and then I don't want it anymore-i am appallled by it--it sounds gross, but it has hellped me fight cravings. Also, those littlle 100cal packs from Keebler and Nabisco and Special K bars really help to satisfy my constant sweet tooth! I hope all is welll with you!! Talk to you in a few days!!
It's Thursday, and that means it's only a few days until my classes start for the Fall. I'm not really looking forward to all the people coming back to town this weekend because the population of this little city will double! Oh well, a positive thing about school starting is that I will have a set schedule so I can plan my exercise routine and stuff like that. Today has gone pretty well. I did go over my goal of 1200-1500 calories and 15 grams of fat by eating 1600 cal. and 29.5fg, but we did go out to eat so I think that is pretty good. Remember, this is still just my "training" week. My husband even said that he was proud of me. That means a lot because sometimes I think that he doesn't believe that I can lose 135lbs. My mom is also very supportive. I have been organizing and cleaning today, and I am about to go do that somemore. My goal before I go to sleep is to do sit ups and stretches. oh, on tv today I saw this exercise machine called "Leg Magic" and it seemed like it would work. I really dislike the way my legs look so I thought about getting one. Has anyone tried it or seen one? I hope everyone is having a great week!! Take care!
Things are going pretty well. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but this week is like my "training" week. I am off work all week before school starts back, and I decided this would be my starting off week and that next week would start hard core b/c I would be in my normal routine. I am still eating the same now as I will next week, but not as much exercise- I'm taking it easy. Last night my husband and I went out to a Greek restaurant with his boss and a co-worker who live out of town. I didn't cheat too bad. I had a tad of hummus and four little fried calamari's for an appetizer, a chicken gyro with ziki sauce and feta, and a shot of some type of liquor that tasted like black liqourice for "dessert". I don't really feel bad b/c I had saved up enough calories for it. I know I willl be going out to eat at least two more times this weekend because I have a work luncheon and my mom and I are going shopping out of town or Saturday; however, I will make good choices and eat smaller portions. I am really proud of myself so far. I weighed this morning and I had lost 2.5lbs. And that's w/ little exercise. I am only going to weigh once a week though because it may not be accurate. Plus TOM is here so that may have something to do with it. I want to go walking, but it's already like 102 here so I don't know...we'll see. Thanks for your comments!!
hello. my name is Taylor and I am 21. I am married to my best friend Nathan, who is 22. We have a great dog named Dora. I am a senior in college at the University of Mississippi. I will graduate in May 2008. I work everyday and I am a full time student so I don't have much time to exercise or really think about what I eat. Now is time for a change. My longterm goal is to lose 135 by Dec. 31, 2008. my shortterm goal is to lose 30 pounds by Dec. 31, 2007. I have tried so many times to lose weight, and everytime I have failed. The most I've ever lost is 30lbs, but I just gained it right back. I grew up eating junk food because no one cared back then (at least not in MS). My family is not overweight, just me. I can remember a doctor telling me when I was in 5th grade and 160lbs not to get over 180. Well, here I am at 270, and I can't believe it. I really make myself sick. I have horrible self-esteem. I have a God who loves me, a wonderful husband, and a great family, but I don't always feel like a whole person due to my weight. That's why I want to lose half my body weight (135lbs), which will hopefully make me a whole person, because I don't think I've ever been one mentally. Also, I want to get healthy and feel better about myself b/c we are going to start trying to have a baby in 3-5 years. I have basically devised a "life change" for myself. I am just going to hit the highlights. I am going by the food pyramid on mypyramid.gov. I print out this sheet, and everyday I record what I eat. I am going to try at drink a gallon of water a day (128oz). Do some sort of substantial exercise everyday (walking, TaeBo, cycle, yoga). Also, I am going to try and do 10,000 steps a day. Walk 3mi four times a week. Eat less than 1,500 cal. a day and less than 15g of fat. I just want to make myself into a better person all around. Through this process, another goal is to get closer to God. I am going to change!! I have to or I am going to go crazy or deep into depression. Please, I need your encouragements. Today I had: 1,200 calories and 15g of fat Goals for tomorrow: Drink more water, go walking*, eat breakfast. *oh, walking may be really difficult it was 106 here today, maybe I will have to go to the inside track. Wish me luck...I have my final for my History of Mississippi intersession class in the morning. Take care.
