goodbye pesky pound!
So this morning I woke up and promised myself I woul NOT weigh in...BUT I just had to because I was dying to know if Insanity has been working on me. Turns out it is!! I lost another lb! Which puts me under 260 (259) LOL! But hey, that still counts in my book.
It is so nice to see that scale go down instead of up. I used to DREAD the scale because every single time I used to go on it it would go UP UP UP UP! But now I'm just happy to see the numbers go down!!
I'm going to head to class -- when I get back my roommate has convinced me to do another workout video as soon as I return (gotta love her though...keeping me motivated)!! I'll write much more later....just had to tell the blog world about my extra pound off!!

tiring day...
So when I woke up this morning it was so hard for me to walk because of the Insanity workout videos that I have been doing. However, today the video I did was entitled "cardio recovery" so we actually got a chance to re-energize and stretch before doing another ass-kicking routine.
Aside from the excersising, I was just tired in general today...I was just kinda in a bummed mood. I think it's because I'm stressing from all of this schoolwork that I have due and I just want to get on the scale again and hopefully see the number go down!! I hate being stressed though because it leads me back to my over eating stage. Before this diet I was a stress eater and a closet eater. No one would really ever see me eat because I would eat whenever I was stressed and I would eat alone and quickly so that nobody knew what I ate or how much of it I consumed, I can't believe I used to do that but I totally believe that food was my drug of choice. Not heroin. Not crack. Not cocaine. FOOD!! and alllllllllllllll types of it!
I'm just so grateful that something changed in my mind and forced me to make a difference in my life. I'm so young still....hell, I deserve to be thin. I'm so done hiding behind this "fat suit" and being the girl with the "pretty face!" I wanna be hot!! I know that we shouldn't think that thin is the only beautiful because I truly believe that everyone is beautiful...all I'm saying is that I have a chance to literally change the rest of my life for the better...and you can be damn sure I'm ready to be sexy and thin!!!
Who's with me?! LOL
Well, I'm going to get some sleep now...Hopefully tomorrow is an exciting day. We're going out for pedicures and having a real girly day! Woohoo!
Xo,
Veronica!

happy days
So as I mentioned before I started the Insanity workout videos last night and to be honest I was so scared that I was going to wake up in such pain and be so sore. BUT much to my dismay I woke up and felt so great! I guess working out actually refreshed me and I woke up in such a great mood ready to go to class and get my day started.
I went to my English class and then afterwards ate lunch with my roommate and my friend like we always do. They are so supportive of my diet and it's so nice to have girls who understand that you are trying to make a lifestyle change. That extra support really does help me each and every day. THANKS GUYS!
Anyway, at lunch I found myself getting satisfied very quickly. I love it! I don't have to eat as much and I am trying not to eat until I am full -- just satisfied. Boy does that help.
Well I am off to get my nails done and go to the mall....it's such a beautiful day so I can't imagine spending it in my dorm room!
I'll write later!
Xo,
Veronica

insanityyyyyyy!
Holy shit...pardon my language! But I just started the workout series "Insanity." I thought that I was going to do P90X but my sister suggested Insanity since she used it to get inshape for her wedding.
Wowwww does it work you out like crazy!! I did it with my roommate and the two of us were gasping for air and needed to take breaks! And although I am at my heaviest I am still in pretty good athletic shape. I really think this video is going to be excactly what I need to boost my metabolism and get my body burning any of the fat I eat throughout the day.
Looks like this is another challenge, but hey...I'm so ready for it!
Xo,
Veronica

YAY!
So I woke up really tired this morning from not having much sleep last night, I definitely needed a boost of energy to get me motivated to go to class. I went into the bathroom to wash my face and stepped on the scale -- I lost ANOTHER pound. This puts me down 6 lbs this week and I couldn't be any happier with my results from my first week on my diet.
I think what gets me even more pumped up is the fact that I wasn't as strict as I intend to be for the remainder of my diet. I decided I was going to ease my body into dieting and today I began the true "induction phase" of the Atkins diet. I am going to do this for a week alone before I incorporate everyday excercising into my routine. I hope my body keeps reacting more and more to this lifestyle change and these pesky pounds get the HELL off my body!!!
To be honest, this website is a life saver. I'm not trying to use a cliche here...EP is actually SAVING my life. Who knows where I would be in a year or two from now if I kept eating the way I was eating? I could EASILY have a heart attack and die. My dad && my sisters don't need that added stress in their lives especially after my mom passed away just a year and a half ago... =(
I may not have lost all the weight I wanted to yet...but you can be damn sure I am on the right path!! I feel like a new person already. Eating healthy and losing weight just makes you feel so much better about yourself doesn't it? I sure think it does.
Well anyway, I plan on going to my dads house with my roommate and a friend shortly -- we are going to pick up P90X (a workout video that will be sure to kick my fat ass into shape)!! lol :)
I'll post later on tonight and let you know how my day went.
All I know is that as of now I am pretty excited to keep going on this diet!!
Xo,
Veronica!!!

hungry =\
So I came home from college to eat dinner with my dad (something I try to do on Sunday nights so that I get a chance to spend time with him). Well anyway he made me grilled chicken and salad because he knows that I am trying so hard to lose weight.
The dinner was delicious. I ate 1 chicken breast and 1 helping of salad and I was satisfied. I planned on taking a little bit of chicken to snack on later in the evening (instead of fruit since I am in the induction phase of Atkins). BUT I forgot the CHICKEN!! Now I am sitting in my room with my roommates (who are eating carbs) and I am so hungry.
Guess I just have to tough it out tonight and drink water.
Oh well... :(
Xo,
Veronica

First Post
Hey guys I'm Veronica Richardi -- I'm 18 years old and to be honest I've always struggled with weight. When I was 13 years old I lost 60 lbs and I was the healthiest I have ever been. However, my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was 14 and my eating habits began to change. I kept gaining and gaining weight. My mom passed away when I was 17, my weight significantly increased after. I am now 261 lbs. I can't believe I let myself get this bad...but I can't wait to start losing weight and get my life back on track. I want to lose about 130 lbs. That's an entire person, I realize that, but I'm going to be able to do it.
I started dieting on Tuesday,November 2, 2010. I was 266 lbs then and I decided to do what I had done when I was 14 and lost all of that weight. I was on a low carb high protein diet and I excercised regularly. I plan on dedicated my life to losing weight at the time being, and hopefully establishing a lifestyle change in my life for the long run.
I am going to post everyday about the things I ate and the excercise I've done, I need to stay ontop of things and change my life for the better. I need to get healthy!!
I am really doing this for my mom, she always wanted to see me healthy and in shape.
Mommy, this one's for you!!
Xo,
Veronica!!
