Day 3-Part 2
Time: 2:15
Weight: 174
Feeling: Depressed
Fight with the husband. I didn't want to drink so I wouldn't go over my calorie limit. He invited some friends over, even though he knew I wouldn't want him to. And so, sober met drunk and that's that. Now he's passed out and I'm up blogging about personal stuff on my diet blog.
Despite my melancholy mood I'm proud to say that I stayed well with in my 1500 limit with only doughnuts from the near-by gas station as temptation. I took one bite and was less than satisfied. If I'm going to dump on my diet, it better be fantastic tasting.
Felt extremely tired most of the day. Closest thing I did to working out was chasing my three-year-old around all day. I didn't even do that great of a job. Somehow he's gotten way faster and I'm just not interested in trying to keep him completely out of trouble.

Day 3-Part1
Time: 7:26
Weight: 173
Feeling: A little proud.
Did my morning weigh in. :) Lost another pound. I have to admit I'm a little proud of my three day diet so far. I realize that this is the initial shock of my body and it'll stop (probably today) and then I'll really have to work my body.
My back pain is back, not nearly as bad as it was, but it makes it uncomfortable to live. Standing hurts, sitting hurts and even lying down hurts. I'm glad that we're off for the holiday weekend today (job-wise, that is). I don't think my back could handle anything but a little family cutting.
I'm not sure how I'm going to work out now. I was going to do some ab/oblique work today, but that's out now. Getting on the floor would be a suicide mission. :/ I'm only 22, this hardly fair of the cosmos to make me crippled before I'm at least 43. ;)
I'll find a way though.
Off to make my oatmeal before my houseful of guests wake up.

Day 2
Time: 10:49
Weight: 174
Feeling: Content
Stayed under my 1500 calories. Fffeeewwww. I thought I was going to hit 9 million by the way I was thinking today. My boss sent me down to get her a bowl of soup. It wouldn't have been a big deal if she hadn't of sent me to the BAKERY!! The one I love so much. The one with the heavenly pudding that they put in the middle of my favorite doughnut. Just thinking about them makes me want to break in and get one.
But I mustn't.
Instead I drank two glasses of chocolate milk instead. A few too many calories, but completely worth it once I think about how many calories I wanted to consume.
I wonder if gossiping could burn calories. There are so much that goes on in a salon, I have to strain so hard to keep names of people I don't even know straight. Brain power must burn up calories too. It'd only be fair.
Did my shampoo-arm work out again. Didn't get any other work outs in today. I know...slacking. Which is my total problem with my health in general, but I promise that I am thinking about doing sit ups and squats all of the time. Couldn't think about them more.
I think chasing my son around at the high school football game for half an hour counts. There's calorie burning in there some where. The kid has endless energy.

Day 1-Part 2
Time: 8:45
Weight: Too tired to find out
Feeling: 174
Lost a pound!! Oh how love instant results. I'm like that though. Instant and awesome results the first two to three weeks then nothing but hard hard work.
The day started off good. I ate my oatmeal, had only vegetables for lunch. Did do the arm work outs with the shampoo bottles. They're heavier then you'd think after the first five reps you do. I did the tricep extensions, shoulder presses, arm curls and some other shoulder thing that I don't remember what my high school lifting teacher called it.
Too bad that's all I did. I left for work at 8:20 am and I got home at 8:30 pm. Ack. I didn't expect to work that long. I was supposed to be done by 5. I was going to cook a nice, healthy meal. Instead I got my head handed to me by my husband for working late (wtf?!) and gave in to his idea of Taco John's.
Horrible horrible horrible!! AAAhhhhh!! I only ate 8 oles and two tacos though. (Their tacos are kind of small) So really...I didn't go over my 1500 calorie intake.
Must do better tomorrow though.
Off to do some core exercises.

Day 1-Part 1
Time: 6:40
Weight: 175
Feelings: Determined!
And I'm up. Almost 45 minutes as I normally would. Showered already and going to make breakfast instead of getting a doughnut from the bakery. Which I only work a block from. :( Ah, I how I love those doughnuts. They must have something other than sugar in them because they are down right delicious. Fat-ingly so.
So the plan is to have oatmeal everyday. Good for the weight loss plan and great for the digestive system! Tastes disgusting unless you pour tons of brown sugar into it, but sugar (at least how I eat it aka not in moderation) is the devil and must be avoided. So I will use honey to sweeten my oatmeal, saving it from disgusting-ness.
I have decided that since I work as a hairstylist to use what is around me. I'll borrow the heaviest shampoo bottles and use them as weights. Work on the triceps, the biceps and the shoulder muscles in between clients. I'll sneak into the bathroom (which is huge and is private) and do some crunches (hopefully) or jumping-jax (that's unlikely, but at this stage not ruling it out.)

Day 0-Before Thoughts.
Time: 10:50
Current Weight: 165.7 lbs.
Feelings: Greasy/Disgusting.
Four years ago I was beginning my senior year of high school. My then boyfriend, now husband, Adam was a football player working out everyday for practice. I'm an extremely competitive person; so I would work out everyday just to stay in shape. I'm 5'6" and back then I weight roughly 140 lbs. I looked good, felt good.
Fast forward a few months and that's when that pee stick flashed the word 'pregnant' right under my nose. I could have snapped it in half.
I love my son with all of my being, but by the end of my pregnancy I weight 199 lbs. I only lost nine pounds.
At the beginning of this year I still weighed 190 lbs. I felt disgusting and unattractive. When the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2010 I made a New Year's resolution to drop the fifty pounds I still had to get back down to the slim figure I once had.
I did well at first, and I got down to 164. Being pretty proud of myself I let myself have just one cookie. I've gained 11 lbs back.
My goal is now to get down to that 140 goal, hopefully before my anniversary in March. That's my goal. 35 lbs in a little over six months. If I loose more, awesome; if I don't loose it all? I'm going to be pissed.
I live with my husband (who has no desire to loose any of the weight he's put on), my three-year-old son (who needs the food to get big and strong), and (just until January) my brother-in-law who though is only a little bit older than me I treat as another son. I try to feed them great home cooked meals that leaves me nothing to eat due a limited budget for food. I also work two doors down from my favorite BBQ place and I now hate exercising. (And I just VERY recently have injured my back.)
But I feel that same greasy feeling that I had on January first so hopefully this blog will remind me every day to eat responsibly.
Wish me luck.
