Keeping up

Much to my surprise, I didn't gain any weight this weekend. I went to the movies, (did not eat/drink anything) had an entire pizza, pie, burgers, and didn't count my points/calories and I have maintained my weight. It's incredible. I am newly inspired to workout extra hard today. I'm going to go running later tonight with Mike, and also run when my brother wakes up. I am feeling very positive today, and I think it's safe to say goodbye to the 250's.

Worked myself sick!

So Friday was a terrible day. I felt awful and didn't workout. I left work early and ate an entire thin crust pizza by myself. 1200 calories downed in about 30 minutes. BAD BAD BAD. I didn't count my calories this whole weekend and ended up gaining 5 pounds. Ugh. But at least I know how to get the weight off. So tomorrow I am going to regroup, and try to repeat the mini goal of running 10 miles this week. I didn't succeed this week b/c of being sick, so If I start earlier and give myself a day off in the middle of the week, I can achieve my goal! I am excited to get back on track and those pounds are just going to melt right off! I'm gonna be on my way to smokin' when Derek comes home, and I hope he is as proud of what I've accomplished as I am. :)

Weight watchers day 3/4

I'm exhausted. I am so sore and aching and I can barely keep my eyes open. I haven't lost any more weight and I'm getting irritated. If anything I've gained a pound. I have done 6/10 miles and I need to finish by Sunday. Today though, I really don't  feel like running. I'm thinking today I'm just gonna take it easy and take the day off from running. I'm really tired and I don't want to stress myself. My eating is just fine, and it's been 1 week since my last fast food run, lol.  I'm just gonna take a nap and relax before work. If I feel better later, I will do my 2 miles, but if I don't, I'm taking it easy and playin sims.

Weight Watchers, Day 2

I seem to have trouble staying under my points because it seems to me that there should be more points. I know they have those things called the flex plans, but Idk how to figure those. When I go over, it's not by much at all, and when I figure the points I am gaining from running/exercising, I am just at my points. I have so far ran 4 miles out of my 10 mile/week mini goal. My weight this morning was 247.2 :) tomorrow it should be lower :) So even though I'm not sticking EXACTLY to weight watchers points, it's helping me restrict myself. Also, my workouts help keep me going, and the wii fit is always fun :) I am very proud of myself so far. I rewarded myself with some ice cream and it was a nice treat. If I keep this up, I will have lost those 10 pounds in no time!!

Weight Watchers, Day 1

So it's my first day counting my points, and it is tough. I am forced to stay away from all the delicious fattening foods, and eating lots of fruit instead. It's easy counting points and keeping track of everything, which helps me keep my portions smaller. I noticed that by writing down what I eat, I am eating a lot less and am more conscious of what I am eating. I am still hungry, but this will go away in time. So now I am going to work out a bit, and get ready for the day. I feel healthy and strong today, and even though it's tough quieting my cravings, I feel really good about it this time!


**Just got done running 2 miles. It was so easy! I could have kept going but I didn't want to be too burnt out for my workout tomorrow. Time to set my mini goal! My goal for this week is to run 10 miles. I already ran 2 miles, so I have 8 miles left.

My mini long term goal is to lose 10 pounds by my vacation. That's about 3 weeks from today. I know that thy say you are only supposed to lose 1-2 pounds a week, but for someone my size, it's like 3-4 pounds a week. :)

Lost some weight.

Since the first post on this blog I have lost 10 pounds. That's not a lot but at least I didn't gain anything! I am proud of those ten pounds but know I can do much better. I've decided to try weight watchers again for free at home. I made my own points calculator and I really think it will help me get my eating under control.

So for the past few months I have been finishing up school and trying to enjoy the summer. I have not been working out as much as I should, if at all, and am still eating normally. Although, the summer has put me into a craze to get healthy. It must be the subconscious "bikini body" wanting to come out. Recently I have attended relay of life with my family and I was very inspired to start getting healthy. I was envious of my aunt, excuse the phrase) booking ass on the track and wanted to run there beside her. I miss how happy I was at 200 pounds. Even though I was still overweight, being 50 pounds less is literally like having a weight lifted off my chest.

So to take one day at a time, starting weight watchers, playing wii fit, running at night, and walking Sabie, should be enough to help me lose some weight in time for my California trip in 3 weeks. I won't make promises or vows because I don't want to feel pressured. All I can promise myself right now is that I will try.
