Before After

Busy Bee Is Me

Hello ladies! Hope you all are having a wondeful day. My day is going to be busy. I have class 'til 2, then free time til around 6, then we are playing our rival school in bball, so of course I'm going to that. Then one of my friends is having a bday get together and then we're going to a party. There will be alcohol but I'm only giving myself 2 drink or 2 shots..EITHER OR, not both,lol! Then I'm done. I need to learn that I don't have to drink to have fun at a party...That stems from my low self-esteem issues that cause me to be overly cautious and insecure at parties...Liquour makes me open up and have more fun...It's all a mind game, I know...One day, one party, one moment at a time, right??

Yesterday I had some internal struggle goin on...I had planned all day to go to the gym after my meeting. Well, I got home,got on the computer, ended up watching American Idol, then that Truth show, then RW/RR Challenge. It was about 10pm by then...I went outside and it was FREEZING and raining...So I came up with every excuse not to go...The  my roomate said the best thing she's ever said to me, "if you don't go, you'll be saying how you should have went to the gym" and she was right! So I got dressed and I went...And I had a great workout! I did 30 minutes of the X-machine/elliptical in the X-Mode burning 315 calories, the  did  15 minutes on the treadmill on incline burning 175 calories. I cool-offed on the bike burning another 35 calories. A total of 515 calories burned!!!!! For 50 minutes that's great!

Eating was ok. I "payed all my bills" but had a terrible sweet tooth. So ended up eating 2 points of  snacks which made me use some of my 35 extra for the week. But that's ok because I hardly ever use them and never use them all.

Ok! Does anyone want a tasty food that's low in calories and points?! Well, yesterday for lunch I had Quizno's Sammie and it was DEELISH!! OMG, it was good. And for only 200 calories and 3 WW points, I was in Heaven! And they're only $2! You girls should try them, I love them and will eat them more often, for sure.

You know yesterday I was talking to my mom on the phone about what I posted about cleaning your plate and I told her that this struggle will never be over. It will just become less of one as I continue to master my weaknesses. I can not imagine myself not working out or eating healthy now. It's like I don't see any other way. So if it takes my body 10 years to recognize my new way of life, than so be it. I hope it doesn't but I can retreat. I can't go back to the old me. It's not a possibility. I can see myself being the person I want to be. It's so close I can taste it! I just have to be faithful. I'm loving the person I'm becoming.

Gotta go to class now...and this computer lab keyboard is really bugging me, so I'm out!

Just A Thought

Hello ladies. Hope you all are having a wondeful hump day! I'm just glad to be done with classes for the day. Thank you all for your encouraging words. I am not quitting and I will just have to work extra hard this week. I want to lose the 2lbs I gained plus another 2. So I have 4lbs to lose, pray for me! Yes, I know I set crazy goals but that's the kinda gal I am ;)

I was commenting on someone's blog and starting thinking about it. I was talking about how hard it is for us to throw away bad foods. Even though we know it is going to tempt us and probably win the battle between to stay put or go in our mouths. I believe that we as a society have also been trained to think leftovers are meant to be eaten. I know I was. We could NEVER throw out food at my house. If there were leftovers, you ate them the next day. It wouldn't have been so bad if it were healthy foods but they weren't. We were also trained to sit at the table and eat "ALL OUR FOOD" well eating all your food is teaching you ignore what your body is telling you, that YOU ARE FULL! It was not a thought to leave the table without eating all your food at my house. Which teaches you to eat and eat EVEN if you are full. Thus, growing up you eat everything knowing you are full, making it hard to know the differnce between satisfied and stuffed. When it should be, eat until you are satisfied and remove yourself and the food. I know it hurts me to this day to throw away unhealthy leftovers or leave food still on the plate but I know it has to be done.

To me, living a healthy life is like retraining your body and mind on what is right for it. That's what I am learning. By living this healthy lifestyle I am teaching my body so many things. Such as I don't have to have a soda or even anything flavored with a meal, I just PREFER it. I also know now that 64oz  water a day is not just a recommendation but a must. I'm also learning there are more vegetables than green beans and corn to eat, lol. That's all I liked growing up and until THIS year all I would eat. I am teaching myself to try something before I nix it. I am teaching myself that I don't have to eat bad just because everyone around me is. I'm learning it's not the end of the world to turn food down! It is hard because I always want to go "for what I know" but that's not always right.

This just proves that my journey is far from over.

Welcome to a new week!

 

Sorry I went off on that tangent but it was on my mind. On the WW front. I picked myself back up yesterday after my pity party and continued to count my points, and "pay my bills." I didn't go to the gym because I had a program to go to last night after my WW meeting. But I will be going today. 45 minutes of cardio and abs. I will lay off of weight training this week just to see what it does to the scales. Don't worry Alicia, I have not given it up permantly! LOL.

Ok, I'm off to rescue my dog from puppy prison AKA his cage.

Have a great day!

Time To Reevaulate.

 

Hello ladies.

If you can't tell by my title I did not have a good weigh in. I am so upset, for so many reasons I don't know where to start.

I guess I can start with my weigh in. I went in, feeling pretty optimistic and definately not ready for what scale read....210...Which means I GAINED 2lbs this past week. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?? I almost got my stuff and walked out. I didn't want to stay for the meeting, I didn't want to hear what the damn leader had to say. I just wanted to go home and sulk...Cry really. But I didn't. I stayed and sucked it up. My eyes got teary but I didn't let one fall.

My feelings went from disappointment, hurt, to anger, to resentment, to quitting. Yes, I thought about quitting. What good would that have done? None but at that moment, none of that mattered! I just kept questioning myself the whole meeting...

I mean I ate on plan everyday. There were a couple of days I got in 4 fruits and veggies instead of 5. I exercised WAY more this week than last. I did atleast 45 minutes of hard cardio 5 days this week. I didn't eat out, I even prepared some meals...How did I gain?!? I mean I wouldn't have been so hurt if I would have even just maintained. HOW DID I GAIN?!  I didn't eat anything sweet over 100 cal, I counted my points for EVERYTHING that went in my mouth and still got a gain, Ugh!!

I'm so frustrated I could cry guys. I really could. I just don't undetstand it. I did everything I was supposed to. I don't know where I went wrong to fix it. The only thing is with school starting I haven't been eating the 6 small meals like I was the day before. But I've still got in all my points and "payed my bills." This is sickening.

BUT! I won't quit. I won't. That's exactly what the devil wants me to do. He wants me to think I'm a failure, reassure my negative thoughts that I can't lose weight and I never will. But I'm not gonna let him win this one! I'm gonna go cry, get it out and start over. I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul.

I know it's not the one day of weight lifting. I'm not TOM because he has already been here this month. I haven't had anything with a lot of sodium, I just don't know WHAT it is!! I think that is what is getting to me the most. And I'm so disappointed in myself. I knew I wasn't going crazy when I was looking at myself and feeling like I hadn't lost any weight, I HADN'T! I was gaining! So freakin disheartening. Especially since I know I tried and worked my ass off in the gym!!

Oh well..Can't let that keep me down, I have another week to get right and like Angela said, this is NOT a race. But I already have a hard time waiting a week for WI and so to go in that week I've anticipated and gained sucks. I feel like all that I thought I knew, I don't. I feel like I'm just physching myself out to think this would really work for me.

I don't know what to think anymore...

*sigh*

Don't Stay Down To Long!

Hello ladies! Hope you all had a great 3-day weekend. I did. Very chill and relaxing.

Ok,  I have a confession to make [Angel] I bought another XL shirt today...I know, I know my goal was to NOT buy any more but I'm so tired of wearing old Tshirts to work out in at the gym, when all the little skinny in shape chicks have their work out gear on. And they say dress for the part you want, right? Well, I want to be that toned super workout chick. So I bought me a workout sleeveless shirt, in black of course :P It was a great investment....but that's the last item, I PROMISE!

I made it to the gym today. I did 30 minutes of interval incline/running on the treadmill. Burning 300 calories. Then I did 10 minutes on the Elliptical burning 100 calories and finishing off 5 minutes on the bike burning 35 calories. So I burned 435 calories in 45 minutes, not to shabby. And today was by far one of the HARDEST workouts I've done in a long time! I didn't have my inhaler so I was breathing so heavily, and just so happened there was a guy and a superskinny fast running girl on the treadmills next to me. Great way to make me feel like a fatty. Then I started looking down at my stomach thinking "you haven't lost any weight, don't you know it never works." That old me, self conscience, impatient thinking still lingers. Ugh! But I ignored it and kept on working out! Results don't happen in a day, or a week. I have to BE PATIENT! Please remind me of that girls!

I got on the scale at the gym. Even though I know I shouldn't have because it's not the same as the WW scale. But when when I weighed there last time before weigh in it was 4lbs behind the WW scale. So I just subtracted 4lbs from my weight tonight, I did NOT like what it said but I'm praying it's because it was the end of the day and my lunch was heavy....My lunch was heavy and OMG I regret it! I felt bloated, constipated and just icky. I think that's what made my work out so crappy. But lesson learned! I'm downing water so I can flush anything lingering around in there.

Has anyone taken fiber supplements? If so, how do they work? Are they good? I'm just wondering if that could help my constant feeling of bloating and constipation. I just don't know what else to do. And my doctor and all health magazine mention fiber. I try to get in enough but maybe I'm not. Any suggestions?

I think I'm gonna get up early tomorrow and get a 30 minute cardio workout done before class. So tomorrow I'll get 2 work outs in. Wish me luck, tomorrow's my WI!! I'm hoping for atleast 3lbs gone.

Ok, it's late, I'm gonna get going.

Down Time

Hello ladies!! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. And hope those that have off have a great day off tomorrow. I sure will, just maxin and relaxin. Oh yea and a little work out too :P


So my weekend was nice. Saturday I went shopping to a new mall out of town with a friend. It was a nice change of pace. I started trying on clothes and got kind of discouraged when I was still a size 14, but then I realized I've only been doing this "new lifestyle" for a week and a half. I have to give it time! I'm so impatient, it's pitiful. So I snapped out of it and enjoyed my day at the mall. This time I didn't fall victim to any greesy fattening pretzel bites or sweets. I made sure to bring my emergency snacks. So I'm proud of that.  I know I said I wouldn't shop til I got to my 10% goal BUT I had to get out of the house, it drives me nuts to sit in the house on a nice day. But I'm not doing anymore shopping until I am in a smaller pant size. I'm not buying anymore size 14 or XL clothes, ***That's a new goal***

After we got back from the mall, my bf came! I was really happy to see him. 3 weeks was a very long time! We just hung out, watched movies(I Am Legend & The Great Debaters) and stuff. He got here after work last night and was starving. It was 10:30pm and I was NOT cooking! So I gave in and ordered pizza. I got Domino's because their pizza slices are 2 points less than Papa Johns. I didn't eat breakfast so I had some extra points. I had 2 pieces of pizza and 3 buffalo wings. I don't think that's bad at all! He just left about an hour ago but good thing is he may be back Friday!

Tonight for dinner I cooked Gwynn's Cheesy Casserole. I followed it to the tee, except I didn't put in the cottage cheese(I'm not a fan) and I added ground turkey for protein. So instead of it being 6 points, it was 9. But that's not bad for dinner. I still have quite a few points left. The casserole was DEELISH! I will definately cook it again and recommend it to those that like cheesy mexican food. At only 299 calories a serving, you can't beat it. BF even liked it and he isn't to keen on low fat foods..he's slowly making his way over to the "healthy side" though..I already got him hooked on Crystal Light.

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday because I was at the mall all day, then bf came, so I missed the gym. I walked the mall for atleast 4 hours, so that counts! Friday I did 15 minutes on the elliptical at the gym, then found out they closed at 10 instead of 12, so I had to leave. Since I already had on my workout clothes, I put in my WATP dv and did 30 minutes of it, so I got my full 45 minutes of cardio in! I'm proud to say I wore shoes this time,lol.Since the gym is closed tonight I will do my cardio tape tonight and get my 45 minutes of cardio in that way. So I've had 7 opportunites to work out the past week and I have worked out 5 of those 7, not to bad! My victory calendar (yes I still keep up with it) is lookin good!

For some reason I don't feel like I've lost any weight this week. I'm nervous for Tuesday's WI! I know I've paid my bills, even came in under a day this week. I've been going regularly, so I don't know why I feel this way. Maybe is pyschological because of when I was trying on clothes at the mall yesterday. Ugh, I hope I'm wrong and I have lost atleast 3lbs this week. I guess we'll see Tuesday.

***EDIT***
I DID get my workout in tonight! I was sitting on my couch debating whether or not I felt like it..Then I remembered I didn't feel like being fat anymore so I better feel like working out. I did my kickboxing body sculpt dvd for 50 minutes. I was sweating like crazy (it's cold out so the heat is on, forgot to turn it down for my workout) which helped anyway :P So I feel good!!  One more workout til WI, I gotta make it count.

Plagued By Hunger

Hello ladies! Hope all is well. TGIF, right???

Well, the first week of classes are done! 13 to go, LMAO. My classes are going to be TOUGH! I have already started reading the chapters and taking notes. I know that should be habitual by now but I'm the biggest procrastinator EVAR! So for me to be doing this is saying a lot. I don't even have an "easy" class. They are all equally as hard. Maybe not hard just intensive reading. Blah. I'll get over it, I'll make it. I just have to complain about it in the process.

I'm happy to report I did go to the gym last night. I did 45 minutes of cardio. 15 minutes warm up on the bike. I burned 85 calories, which is an all time high for me on the bike. I usually only get around 30-50 but I upped the level to 5, so maybe that's why. Then I did 30 minutes on the treadmill on incline, increasing the speed and level of incline every 5 minutes. Burning a total of 315 calories. Woop! I'm proud. THEEEN, I did weight training, focusing on back and arms. Then I ended with 150 abs. I increased my ab work out by 50, gotta keep the sore feeling to know I'm workin. So I'm happy with my work out. I will be back again tonight. I'll probably do the elliptical and the treadmill for cardio and thighs and abs for weight training.

I was on plan yesterday too. Maybe even a little under. I got back from the gym and couldn't decide what to eat for dinner. Ended up waiting until after I finished my notes and it was damn near 12am. So I just cut up some turkey lunch meat and threw it in a bag salad. Put my oil in it to finish "paying my bills."

Today will be on plan too. Breakfast was light because I was rushing and my banana went bad in my bag :( So all I had was a special K bar and water. Then for snack I just my WW peanut butter bar. So I need to get home and get in some fruits and veggies with my lunch. I think I will be trying Gwynn's casserole for dinner tonight. I'm going to make the full serving so I can have it for lunch tomorrow.

On the margarita issue: I looked up a margarita on the WW website (I have etools) and it said 5 with 1.5oz of tequila...and I did infact use the tequila...What's a margarita without it?! LOL.

 

Everyday I feel better and better! I walked into the gym yesterday and I didn't even notice I was just smiling away until the guy that checks ID's started smiling and spoke to me. I asked what was so funny and he said "you are just cheesing" I simply responded with "LIFE IS GREAT" and it really is! Happiness is a choice and I choose to be happy. And when I'm not, I evaluate why and make the necessary changes to get there.

So on that note, I'm headed home for lunch. Have a wonderful weekend and remember weekends are not healthyeating ends. Stick to your plan!

Not to bad

Hello ladies. Hope you all are have a terrific Thursday, lol.

I am in the computer lab waiting on my next class to start. I just bought my books for this semester. OMG!!! It should be illegal for a professor to want 3 books for 1 class! I spent $275 already and I have 3 more books to get :( This is a major bummer! Only 1 more year and I'm outta here, thank you Jesus!

On the weightloss front:

Last night wasn't so bad. But I wish I hadn't had any because the party was kind of...how do I say this??? LAME! So I should have just not had any and would have been fine. Oh well, lesson learned. I only had 2 margaritas. One frozen and 1 regular. It was 10 points :( BUT I didn't eat anymore so I only use 9.5 of my extra 35 points this week.

I have been on plan today. I had a special K bar and a banana for breakfast (with water of course) and then I just had my Hostess 100 cal cakes(with water) for snack. After class I'm going home and having a salad, smart one and orage for lunch. Then I will be at the gym! So all is not lost. Tuesday is 5 days away so I can still see the lost I want if I get my butt in the gym everyday and stay on plan. I'm hopeful!

I was asked the other day about my weight loss. Someone said it looks like I've been losing weight. Which I'm proud to say I HAVE! Doesn't that feel good to say ladies? Well they said "is it hard, I just don't know how?" and I said "I didn't either, I just dug in! I read and read and read about eating right and exercising. Now I'm just putting it into action" And I just started thinking how much I've learned on this journey.

Sidenote: I hate sitting in computer labs where people can see your screen. I do NOT need you reading what I'm trying. It's none of your business. Then don't look above the screen to the wall when I see you looking. I ALREADY KNOW YOU WHERE. *sigh*

I've learned:

  • Not to diet but make small lifestyle changes I can live with
  • Water isn't so bad...neither is Crystal light
  • A little cooking will get you a long way
  • Exercise is a must...No denying it or getting around it. Just gotta do it!
  • Your weightloss journey is personal and sensitive, don't tell those that will take it lightly and criticize you if you stumble.
  • Except that sometimes you're going to mess up and not be on plan but pick it back up and move on.
  • Food is not for comfort, prayer is

Those are just a few.

On a happier note... I FIT INTO MY SKINNY JEANS TODAY! When I bought them they were snug and every time I tried to wear them I got that God awful muffin top. Well today they got on (with a little wiggling) and it looks good. Yay. Small victories is what counts!

Another small victory: I haven't had ANY kind of soda, diet or regular in 2 weeks! I've been drinking only water and 1-2 crystal lights a day. Major improvement from my 2-3 a day. I've learned that water with a meal is not the end of the world. Now Precious follow suit and drop the Pepsi, LOL. J/K!

Ok, gotta log my points, search for some textbooks online and call mommy before I go to class. Ciao bellas!

Fallin Into The Trap...Already!

 

OMG! Today was the FIRST day back going to classes and being into the groove of school. Reuniting with friends, PARTY tonight and OMG I can feel myself slipping into the lazy girl I was last semester. I can NOT let this happen! I've worked damn hard this past month to get myself to a point where I can lose weight and a system that works. Ugh. I'm not over my points for the day but I am like .5 away and I know we're going to be drinking tonight. I know I shouldn't but going to a party here sober is the worst. I have some really good margarita mix I want to have but I'm not sure about it's points value. I know I have the 35 extra points. I may have to use some and then just be extra strict for the rest of the week.

I really am so scared to gain any of those 8lbs back! Going back to school is proving to be tougher than I thought. It's just that I have so long between breakfast and lunch. And I brought snacks but had no time to eat them. I had an orange but I can bust out an orange and eat it in class. So when I get home I want something big to fulfil me, I need to find an alternative to this! Any ideas?

I'm not making it to the gym today either :( I had to get my hair done(it was OVERDUE) and then had to find another class to replace this OVER THE TOP english class I dropped. The professor was just too much for me. She spent 20 minutes talking about HERSELF and her life...That's nice but for 20 minutes?! WHO CARES LADY?? By the time that got all situated and then I want to party with my friends, it's the first party of the year...I guess dancing in a scorching hot ballroom for 3 hours can count as some exercise right?

I WILL BE IN THE GYM EVERYDAY GOING FORWARD...I guess I can count this as my day off, as I've worked out 4 days in a row and my ankle was really bugging me. So I'll take today off and get back on it Thursday-Sat. My bf might be coming Saturday and staying til Sunday and if he doesn't come my mom wants to. Seeing as how it's been 3 weeks since I've seen him and a month since I've seen my mom, I'm going to skip the work out to spend time with him/her. If he leaves before the gym closes I'll go.

I gotta find away around these obstacles! I am so determined to get to ONEderland!! I'm only 8lbs away. I'm so determined, I can't let these minor setbacks hinder me.

Ok, I'm gonna get ready to party, you ladies have a good night!

 

P.S.- Thanks for the congrats on the weightloss, I was more excited about the weightloss because I got to come here and share with you girls than showing off to my peers.

Today's Quote:
Whatever the struggle, continue the climb. It may be only one step to the summit.

This Has To Be A Fluke!

Hello ladies! Hope you all had a wonderful day!

Well today was my first weigh in since joining Weight Watchers. I was expecting 3 or 4lbs loss since I had checked at the gym...But instead I lost...

POUNDS!

 

Yes you read that right...**I** lost 8lbs in one week. I didn't do anything but count my points, "pay my bills" and exercise 3x's this week. I asked the lady if it was right, if the scale was calibrated. I am in shock. I was like I want to be in ONEderland in 2 months because I had only planned to lose 2lbs a week, I lost all I wanted to lose this month IN a week! I'm blown away. I feel like I've lost a little. My pants fit a little different but I just thought it was because they were stretch. But maybe it was a real difference!

I know not to expect that big of a weight loss every week. But that is such a motivator! I was skeptical of WW at first, just trying it because I was at a breaking point. THANK GOD I did! If I just lose 1/2 of that this week I'll be ecstatic!

Losing 8lbs means I'm down to 208lbs! No 2-1-something. 8 more pounds to ONEderland! I'm so focused. This big of a loss means I have to re-do my points, my leader was so proud of me. She said "I never lost that much in one week." I was really proud of myself. And God walked me through this whole week. Because yall know how confused and how I was struggling in the beginning. BUT I MADE IT! I know it's just a week but I didn't think I would make it a week. So I'm pumped! This week I expect nothing but greater lost.

And the lady forgot to to announce my lost AND give me my 5 point star at the meeting. I made sure to tell her afterwards, I worked hard for those 8lbs! I also bought some 1 point peanut butter bars and fruit things. They were good, they had taste testers at the last meeting.

So here's to another week with another big loss!

What's Cookin?


Hello ladies! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was quiet but productive none-the-less. I worked out both days and stayed on plan. Even felt frisky enough to eat out. I had the Margarita chicken, steamed veggies and corn on the cob at Chilli's. It was 16 points. But loaded with veggies and I lets not forget I have 30 points to eat up a day. So good there. I also made it to church. Very good service. I managed not to cry this time :) I also deep cleaned my bedroom and cleaned out drawers and washed all my clothes and sheets! So very productive weekend for me.

I ended the weekend by cooking a nice healthy dinner. It was Penne RIgate w/chicken. A recipe on the back of the Healthy Harvest whole wheat penne pasta box. It was tasty and totaled in at 13 points and this is just by MY caluculations, nothing for sure. A little high but still full of veggies and wheat pasta.  Needed a little more flavor but it was full of veggies and the oil I needed for today so not too shabby.

Here's the final product:


 

And the little man who watched my every move in hopes of dropping a piece of chicken,lol. He had no luck.

.

I made a big oops! Instead of counting my lunch at 16 I counted it as 6, OOPS! So After recalculating my meals I've  had to take 6 allowance points. I don't feel too bad because I've only used 10 this week. And I don't see myself going off plan tomorrow or Tuesday so I should be ok.

Today I got to work out at the gym. OMG, it felts sooo good! How I missed thee. I did 10 minutes warm up on the bike, 15 minutes of running on the treadmill (I did my mini goal of running .5 mile without stopping) then I did 10 minutes on the X-tracker and 10 minutes on the elliptical for  a total of 40 minutes cardio. Ended with 100 sit ups so a good work out for me!  Tomorrow I'll add weight training in.

I weighed myself at the gym...I know I shouldn't but I was curious. It said I was 211, which means 5lbs down. I DONT THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE! That means I've dropped a pound a day. But if I go on Tuesday and have more than 2lbs gone I'll be happy. I know it doesn't have the same calibration as WW but if it's close I'd be a happy girl come Tuesday...I can only go down further. I think the thing that is helping me the most is that I know this is a LIFESTYLE change and when I went to the grocery store today, it was like a habit to pick up the more healthier choices. I didn't even CRAVE the stuff I'd normally want. I picked up some 100 cal pecan cinnamon rolls, mmm! You can warm them in the microwave. Should be tasty.

I'm very proud of myself. I didn't think I'd make it 2 days counting points and look at me, I've completed day 5!!

So today while I was grocery shopping (I went after I went to the gym) a guy hit on me! I've seen him around campus a few times but didn't pay him any attention(not my type anyway) but he saw me (still in my work out clothes, which happen to be yoga pants and tshirt) walking past him and I said in my head "Watch him look at my butt" sure as I walked by him and his friend stopped their conversation, then I looked back and sure enough they were looking at my butt, LMAO! Then he turns around and catches me...I know it took alot of courage for him but I had to turn him down (I DO HAVE A BOYFRIEND) and he wasn't my type,lol. But it felt good to be hit on, I have to admit :P

Ok, I'm gonna get going.
