staying fit
I'm actually pretty surprised that i've been able to maintain my weight at 120, i try to do exercise whenever i can. Also i did this diet that burns body fat, and i was worried that i would gain all the weight back, but i haven't. so im pretty excited to lose more weight, all i need is 5 more pounds and i'll be really happy. I think im going to start running more on the weekends, i usually just go to train 4 times a week and i swim for 2 hours on monday and friday, and on tuesday and thursday i run one hour and swim another. It's tough, but i get results quick.
im looking forward to losing more weight! :D

i've been busy
I have writen any new blogs lately because i've been too tired to go on the computer these past few weeks.
I started art classes and it's going great. Also, i continued with the triathlon team. The coach is pushing me way hard. I was training with the new kids in December and now he wants me training with the actual team from now on. Let me remind you that these kids have been on this team since probably 6th or 7th grade and some of them are already in college, no pressure right?
The first day back from xmas vacation he had me swim 2 hours with no break. My legs felt like jello! Then on Tuesday he made run for an hour and swim for another hour. And today, Wednesday, is our break day, but i have to go tomorrow and i'm not looking forward to it.
I know! I know! It's good because thats how i lose weight. But why did it have to be so hard. OH and yeah the coach says that he wants me to compete in February! and that im going to be starting on the bike very soon! Well this is the price to pay for beauty i guess.
p.s. i wieghed myself and the scale said i lost 2 pounds. It's something right.

ew i hate ticks!
Today I ate better. NO COOKIES! yay hehe. I did 70 minutes on the treadmill and i burnt 470 calories. I say that's not so bad for the 3rd day. My goal is to reach 550 calories, but little by little. I don't want to burnt out so fast. I also drank the 2 liter bottle again today. I'm not having any problems with the water drinking, i actually like drinking that better than any other thing.
Today my neighbors dog escaped from the house and the neighbors weren't home so we decided to keep him with us. We put him in the back yard because we didn't want our dog to get in to a fight with the other dog and i think that in the time that he took to cross our house to get to the backyard 3 TICKS JUMPED OFF OF HIM! THEY WERE HUGE! I was so scared for my dog so i told my little brother to kill them and he grabbed his shoe and squished them, you should've seen all the blood... it was disgusting. That's when my brother told me that the dog has already been in the hospital once because he was bleeding out too much from all the ticks on him. I felt so bad, the neighbors don't take care of him, they hardly ever give him water and i never see them walk him. My bro is going to talk to our neighbor who's the same age as my brother and is going to try to convince him to take better care of the dog. I hope he understands.

another blog!
I'm keeping to my promise, see? Today i started exercising, that was my main goal. I did an hour on the treadmill, i walked 2 miles and a half, burnt almost 400 calories and I'm pretty proud of myself. Its a start. Now the hard part is doing that all week. I almost never stick to my plan because I'm so impatient. But hopefully writing in this blog and seeing all the other success stories will give me the patience and strength to keep to my promise.
I ate a lot more fruit today and drank all my water and i think its really helping. I've noticed that i have more energy to do stuff around the house and to exercise.
I think tomorrow I'm going to do the same on the treadmill and add some abdominal exercises too

I'm serious this time
ok i know i havent written a blog in ages but this time im serious. im going to write to see if it improve my weight loss efforts.
TALK ABOUT A HARD WEEKEND! i couldnt stop eating all the cookies and chocolates and delicious foods! i feel so guilty, im harming myself.
I havent done any exercise bcause i think i fractured my nose
. My friend hit me with his elbow by accident while we were playing a light game of basketball, it sounded like an egg shell cracking, and boy did it hurt. Luckily i didnt bleed. the doctor sent me to do some X-rays and tomorrow i have to go see a specialist to see what really happened to my nose. But im going to start walking my dog 30 minutes a day at least, my brother usually does it but i think ill give him a break for a while.
Oh i've also started drinking a lot of water. I fill up a 2 liter bottle everyday and drink it all. The trick is to drink it ice cold because thats when it burns all the calories. Hopefully it works, i just started so i havent weighed myself, im not going to even bother for another 2 weeks or so, i dont want to disappoint myself and give up, thats what usually happens and im tired of it.
wish me luck!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Turns out i have PCOS, no wonder i haven't been able to lose weight. The doc said that PCOS is becoming very common now-a-days. What it is, is a whole bunch of little or big cysts (in my case they're little) in the ovaries. That can cause an irregular period with a lot of painful cramps. My cramps are usually so bad that I can't walk. Obesity or extra weight is another symptom. My doc said that in my case my hormones aren't working as they should because of these cysts. They are really lazy and they aren't burning the extra weight that i have been trying to lose. And the best thing about this is that its curable! My doc is sending me medicine to cure the cysts and help me lose weight. I can't wait!
P.S. If you have these symptoms i really recommend you check with your doctor because PCOS is becoming very common.

Confused?
i don't know but i thought that normally people see a little bit of change after the first week. but i haven't. i actually feel bigger, i don't think i'm losing any weight. and according to BMI from this website i'm supposed to weigh 95 pounds! i tell my friends to help me to lose the 30 pounds but all of them say that its easy and all i have to do is exercise. but how would they know, they've been skinny their whole lives and they've never had to worry about their weight. i'm tired of battling weight. i need help or someone that understands what i'm going through.

First Day
This is the first time im posting a blog in any website, i guess i should start wit the basic info about myself.
well..im pretty young i guess, im 16 and i moved to Costa Rica a year ago from the US, and boy can u notice the difference. when i lived in the US i considered myself a lil bit overweight, but now that i moved here i see how healthy the people are, its pretty embarrassing. everyday on the way to school at 6 in the morning all i ever see is people jogging or walking and getting their morning exercise. its made me realize that im not living a healthy lifestyle, and that i could be doing a lot better, and that God didnt make me fat, i made myself this way and i can lower the weight.
2 years ago, i was really healthy and really active, i used to play volleyball and flag football in school and wen i would get home after school i would jog. but now i dont know what happened to me, i dont feel the same, and i think i should control myself now before its too late.
this week i joined my basketball team, i practice mondays and wednesdays, and on tuesdays and thursdays i go to bicycle classes?? i dunno if u ever heard of it, they call it Spinning here, its a real workout, im also walking to school and back everyday with a friend, and im eating fruit before every meal, well mostly pineapple. and im trying to drink 3 bottles of water a day.
it seems like i started off good, but my problem is that i expect results almost immediately and i usually give up when i dont see them. all i need is some support to keep me going. i cant really "trust" my friends because friends will always say you look good even if you look like a hippo in tights =P
well i guess thats my dilema. ill take support from anyone and i will be sure to return the favor =D
