Before After

Apprehensive.

 

It is 9pm and I have 4 vegetables and oil left to have today. I don't know what happened today. I got up and my fruit for breakfast as normal. But when I got home from class I had lunch [that had no veggies:(] and then played with Duece and then took a nap. Then had a meeting. So I've been not on plan today. It's really bugging me. I also haven't been to the gym today. I have an interpretation due tomorrow that I haven't started. I know, bad me. I'm the biggest procrastinator EVAR. So I will not be going to the gym. After contemplating and worrying myself over this for atleast 30 minutes. I am not one that can just go for 30 minutes and leave. I have to get my full work out in. I'm really beating myself up over it. This will be 2 days in a row I haven't been to the gym. That's the real bad part. So to make up for it, I will be in the gym tomorrow morning and evening. Anyone wanna call and wake me up to make sure I get there?! LMAO. No really, I'm gonna do it. That will be SUCH a victory for me if I make it there in the morning. Nothin to it but do it, right?

Tatum's Mom was talking about NSV's today and it got me to thinking. I have really come a long way in just this short month. So, my NSV's would be:

  • Trying and liking new vegetables(HUGE for me!)
  • Being able to run .5 miles without stopping
  • Being able to workout withOUT needing my inhaler
  • My confidence is boosting daily and it shows
  • I'm happy with myself. I know I'm doing everything I can to be the healthy person I need and want to be.

I think those are great NSV's!

This weekend I have to work, so I will go out and look for me some running shoes. Does Academy have good running shoes? I think I'll try there, hopefully I'll find some there.

Oh and you guys have been asking if I'm liking my WW meetings more and yes, yes I am. My leader and the members are a bit older than me but they are all equally as nice and so ready to give suggestions, praise and help out. I love that. My neighbor also goes to the same WW meeting as me. So I have someone to relate to and I share things that have worked with me and things I learn from you guys. It's nice having her there. We sit together and chat and are even planning to work out together. She goes early in the mornings I just remembered so I can have her call me and I'll have motivation to go to the gym in the morning :)

So my plan to make sure I get the rest of my "bills paid" is have a v8 and heat up my steam veggies for dinner and have an orange for snack before bed. I will put my oil in the steamed veggies, so that takes care of that. Sorry to bore you guys with the details but I'm just doing it for my own benefits.

And I'm doing Tracy's WWsupport group of blogging what you eat daily so here's my day's food:

B- Special K bar and banana; 4 pts
S- 100 cal right bites- 2 pts
S- 100 cal sun chips- 2 pts
L- BBQ sandwich and & baked lays, WW Peanut butter bar- 10 pts :(
S- Water, String cheese and sugar free pudding- 4 pts
D- steamed veggies, v8 & turkey wrap- 5 points
S-orange 1 pts

I don't think that's too bad. Another day of a heavier lunch and light dinner.

Ok, I'm out to do this damn paper *sigh*

***EDIT***

Its now 1am and I'm just now finishing that darn paper! Instea of going to bed I have to give bf some QT on the phone, he's going to L.A. tomorrow and I'm uber jealous! I also got in 3 of the 4 veggies needed and I got my oil. Brandi I might take the fish oil pills, thanks for the tip :)

WW

meetings help me so much and I hope they help you.  I'm so proud of you and your progress.  Don't get down on yourself about your oil/veggies.  Yo uknow what?  I rarely meet the daily req.  even when I was dropping pounds.  They say you can't count an oil suppletment but you know what???  I take 2 fish oil pills a day (.5pts) and I count is as 2 oils servings.  When I was doing this ---- it totally helped my weight loss.  Maybe give it a try???  fruits/veggies have always been a struggle for me. 

Awesome!

Those are great NSVs.  You have every right to be proud!  Now go to bed!

That's not so bad!!!

You know I found that lunches heavier than dinners are better for me because I burn most of my calories before dinner!  Keep that in mind...

Oh, and congrats on the loss!!  Stay positive!

 

Great!

Our metabolisms are faster during lunchtime so it's the perfect time to have a heavier meal for lunch instead of dinner

Great job on journaling your food and going to the gym tomorrow.  Loved the suggestion about the lady calling you in the morning to motivate you to go to the gym =D AAAAAand, awesome job on the paper!! Don't forget to sleep xox

You worked it out!

Well it seems like you worked it out and didn't do so bad with your eating. As far as getting in your excericse I belive you need to seize every opportunity you have to go but on the flip side don't forget right now SCHOOL is you NUMBER ONE priority! So its okay to put the gym on the backbuner for school...but just for school. Have a great day!

College

Yes it can be aggrivating! I hate being sent around the whole wide world....Great news is that my mom got my mail held at the post office this morning and my scores were there! (on the absoulte last day I could get them to register again if I didn't pass....typical!) I passed! Woot.

Hate to hear about that all night paper! Been there many a time! Good luck on it!

You did it!

See...I knew you could.  Yikes on the all night paper...I'm so glad those days are long gone!

Meetings

Girl, its great that you are enjoying your meetings.  It is good to have support of your WW family.  I remember late nights of doing papers in college.  I commend you on working on your weight loss journey while you are in college.  I know it is tough.  All I did in college was gain, and gain some more

 

Have a good day.

Hi

I dont think you did to bad today, but I'm sure you will have a better day tomorrow.  Papers.. glad I don't have to do those anymore. However I do plan on going back to school so I guess I better not talk trash. Have a good one.
