Before After

Feeling GOOD!!!!!! (day 2)

I was a good gurl today...went and worked out on the treadmill today for abt 45min, and managed to do 3.5miles (walking/jogging), burned around 353cal, and just so you know I was feeling like crap when I woke up this morning, I had no motivation watsoever to get my butt up and do anything....so for me to be able to do 45min today was AWESOME! I feel a whole lot better coz I just know am trying so hard, and I know I'll get there if am able to keep up this routine...
 
I have some cleaning and laundry to do today, which am planning to do it in the evening after dinner, so I can burn the calorie...lol..
 
As far as the eating goes, am having it all under control...I'll edit later and enter the food I have hogged...lol...am not a huge snacker, so am good without them...lol

Clean slate starting over again!!!

I was on here a couple yrs bk, had a baby and haven't had time to takecare of myself...now that my lil girl is almost 2, I decided to do something for me, that is GET HEALTHY
 
Good news is I havent gained weight since the last time I was here, so YAY ME...but the bad news, I haven't lost any either....but am glad am thinking it over again, and starting fresh, and this time am not gonna give in and lose motivation easily like I always do. I have decided to wait atleast 12weeks to see any results...so what are my plans you might be asking....
 
  • Eating healthy/Portion control
  • Staying under 1200 calories/day
  • 30min cardio/day for atleast 5days a wk (I am doing treadmill, and have a goal of doing 2mi/day)
  • Active housework for an hr/day
  • Eating out only on Saturday nights
  • Looks easy eh?! yeah exactly how I wanted it for me....so it is easy to stick to. I am not going to drive myself nuts this time, I am gonna give it my best and get the best out of this journey!!!!

    SN: I have also signed up at the Y for zumba classes, which is for an hr/once a week goes on for 7wks...class strtd yesterday, and baby was it fun...I loved it...the music and the moves was awesome, made me sweat!!!!!

    Please feel free to add me, I am looking for weight loss buddies

    Day 8,9 & 10 - Dont workout in any shoe..but a walker sneaker :)

    Well looks like I am not finding time to update my blog regularly - so here we go my update for the last two days, plus today

    Day 8:

    Since I took a break on Valentines day, I was feeling toooo lazy to get my butt off the bed, but I managed to at 6.15am, hit the gym and walked the walk for 45mins, burnt abt 320 some cal. As for my eating routine it was under control, but I did make mutton curry and managed not to overeat it.

    Day 9 (Saturday):

    It was the weekend, so got up late around 9am had some coffee and hit the gym at 10am fully motivated. I started walking and at about 25mins my leg started to hurt really bad, but instead of stopping I jus slowed down the speed for abt 2mins, and picked up pace right after and didnt feel like getting off of the treadmill,until I heard my hubby calling out for me...it was already 60mins and was juz point few miles away from 4miles...so I walked and walked till I hit 4miles at 70mins and was glad when I checked the cal...I had burnt 380 cal, it really made me feel happy. I jotted the time and everyhting in the lil sheet I maintain. Then hubby darling was hungry, so we both teamed up and cooked some good food - egg curry, rasam and rice...it was tres deliciso, but I had lil portions and ate slowly until I felt I have been eating forever lolz...and I just had one boiled egg from the curry

    Only today I realized that I needed some good walking sneakers coz I have been working out with my regular shoe and thought that might be the reason for all the ooh,ahh, ouchyyyy...so hubby and I went to the mall,and bought a fine looking nike sneaker from Finish Line - and this show has a added feature, that is when I connect my ipod using the "sport kit", and listen to it while walking, it will actually give me instant feedback as to how much calories I have burnt, and how long I walked etc., isnt that cool, but too bad I do not have the "sport kit"...I will try to find one soon. But the was a decent buy, it was  $ 90 and had my fav color pink

    Eating went fine,but  I guess I had lil water today than normal

    Day 10 (SundaY):

    Again got up at 9.15am, had a hot bowl of oat meal with 2% milk and half cup coffeee, then hit the gym and wore my new shoes and walked, I didnt feel any pain in the leg, but my foot was hurting today (mebbe I am not walking correct),but after sometime I felt nothing and walked another 4miles in 70mins and burnt 382 cal. I just came up and started writing blog while having a cup of water and a banana. I am off to big lots now in sometime, since they are having some sale on bedding...so lemme get goin going before I start blabbering

     

    Any Ideas how to lose....

    some fat in the boob and tummy area coz those are the only areas which makes me look fat, coz I have no butt (no not literally ), I just have less / no fat in them. It is just my boobs and my lower stomach that I am trying to target, but I know I cant get them done just by walking on the treadmill, so please can anyone help me?

    My Goal for the coming week

    Ok since I worked out 6 days, and took a day off..thatz makes it 7 days which is exactly a week (are u following me?!). So starting tomorrow morning, and for the next 7 day I am going to try work out all the 7 days. Hopefully I will be able to and I will be proud of myself if I did it. Wish me luck and hopefully I will see myself melting a bit :)

    It is really late now, and I have to get up at 6 in the morning..so am off ladies...good nite

    Day 6 & 7 - Will I downsize or not :(

    Okay...I really didnt find time to update the blog yesterday, so I am putting it here together for both yesterday & today.

    Day 6:

    It was a grumpy morning, I was feeling all lazy and tired. But still I tried to get my ass outta the bed to the gym...walked about 45mins, and burnt 230 some cal (I forgot the exact count). After the exhausting walk, I stepped on the scale hoping for some miracle, but for some odd reason my weight still is showing me "2 lb" heavier, dont know why. I really know I am trying soo hard, and have been really careful with the stuff I eat, also made my coffee (the one I loveeeeeeee the mostttttt) to half cup in the morning, and I really pshing myself to drink more than 8 glass of water...and not to forget I have been walking my ass off...but all this for what...juz to see me "2lb" heavier, I still havent given up or lost motivation, but it is been really upsetting and keeps me moody/down

    But my hubby baby has been trying to put up with me and is giving me a lot of support, and I am very glad to have him as a part in my life (no this is not valentines day e(a)ffect)

    Day 7:

    I got lazzzzzzy today, coz the previous night I really felt bloated, and every  inch of my muscle was aching with a very bad back ache and I thot I was going to get my AF, but it did not and left me feeling guilty for making use of the day.But had my eating and water routine on control..so that was gooddddd.

    I havent checked my weight today, and will not be until my AF comes and goes. Pretty much for now,will update the rest later.

    Anyways...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all

     

     

    Day 5 - It is a bad day - feeling down

    I am writing this for the second time now, since the one which wrote just minutes back disappeared outta no where

    Well as it is my morning showed its ugly face, by making me feel "2 lbs" heavier, and am still scratching my head thinking why?!! Except for the pizza part last night, I did not screw up anything else Also is there a connection between AF and weight gain or feeling heavy (my AF is due 13 / 14 FEB)

    Ladies please help me, let me know if you know about AF and feeling heavy.

    But whatever it is, I have taken a promise saying "No to Pizza" no matter what... AND I AM GLAD I DID IT, COZ NOW I KNOW I WONT EAT THAT STUFF UNTIL END OF JUN.

    NO PIZZA FOR ME

    As for the routine today, I walked 3.46miles, and burnt 331/cal...great huh, it was such a workout, felt a lot energized. Then it was a normal day at work, and for the food intake nothing special

    - No breakfast ( I jus cant have it)

    - had lunch at 12.00 - some rice and curry ( a square box, hall filled)

    - had a pear at 4pm

    - had dinner at 8pm, abt 6 idlies and some chutney

    - had abt 10 glass of water (the best part)

    thatz it, I think it was okay. I am getting ready to go to bed now, as I am sooo tired, and I am tired typing the blog twice I didnt save a copy...duh?!

    Anywayz goodnite yall....see yall morrow

    Day 4 - It wasnt soo tough today

    I got up at 6.15 his morning, and hit the gym straight. I walked about 45mins today, and felt soooo good...cause it ached very little today I tried to have some oatmeal for breakfast, but I cudnt...but I did eat about 4 pieces of boiled beatroot..tasted yum and cool.

    It was a long day at work, but I am glad that I did not end up munching something saying I was hungry rather I filled my tummy with water had lunch and had an apple at around 4pm. Everything went soooo welll...until my darling hubby had to bring his friend home, and we ended up having "pizza" ,I had about 2 slices and about 3 pieces of breadsticks...I feel sooooooooo darn guilty about it...and I am trying to walk and burn as much as I can but not on the treadmill though. Hopefully it wont haunt me when I weigh in morrow morning  I think I am going to take promise or something to stay totally away from all these "oily, fatty, slimy, yucky" food because that is the only way I can excuse myself from this stuff...mebbe you'll be hearing about that soon. But so far the day went fine, except for this "pizza" spoiler.

    I am ready to hit the sack in another 30mins..need to get up morrow early...goodnight yall

    Day 3 - It is not easy as I thought !

    It isn't easy as I thought it would be...there was a lot of "ooh, aah, ouch" going on today. I still managed to walk 2.57miles(a lil bit more than I thought), and burnt about 247/cal, I was glad my weight maintained at the same and wasnt a bit upset that i didnt go down today.

    Also last night I went to "Thai Restaurant" and ordered a Basil Chicken fried rice. But guess what, I portioned my meal to half, and just ate one half and drank about 3 glass of water at therestaurant. I am actually feeling good to see that I am able to make small changes to what used to be my routine before. I just cant wait to see my results by the end of the month.

    I also had about 3egg white omlet it was actually good, because I am actually a big yolk lover :) it really didnt taste that bad at all. I am going to Acme today to buy some fruits and oat meal, hopefully I will get used to eating all this stuff.

    I am so glad that I found my way here, coz I read real peoples blog and I see real people losing weight big time, I keep saying that I can do it too baby!!
