I weighed myself again today. Why? Oh, I don't know maybe I just really love to torture myself. Anyways I still haven't lost any weight but I didn't gain any weight! Upgrade! I have told myself just to push through this that the weight will just start to melt off soon. Right?

Judgement Day

2010-01-09T14:54:00.000-08:00

I weighed myself today, and it was very discouraging. After a week of exercising and dieting I didn't lose any weight. Not only did I not lose any weight but I gained .4 pounds. How can this be does my body hate me. I don't understand. So like any normal person who does not get the outcome they are looking for I shoved my face full of cookies! UGH!!!!!!!!! I am so mad and depressed. But I am not giving up I will continue my adventure of getting in the best shape of my life this is just a little speed bump in my way. Of course I will mope around for awhile and pout (it makes me feel better). So new plan next week I will be getting up at 7:00am or 8:00am (depending on the day) and workout. Maybe my problem was I Wasn't working out in the mornings. Who knows but I will continue to fight and persevere. If anyone out there has any advise (if there is anybody reading this) please give me it I am desperate!!! Until next time....

Day Two

2010-01-05T17:53:00.000-08:00

So today was the second day of my "new" life. I think I did fairly well. Although I have discovered that I am a cranky beast when I am hungry, I will have to work on that. You know this diet or way of life if you will is not just about being skinny. It's about feeling good about myself. When I am eating right and exercising daily I am happy. I get more accomplished I am pleasant to be around (for the most part) I just feel good. Another goal of mine is to drink more water and go to sleep no later than 11:00 pm. The water thing I can do although it is annoying to have to pee every 10 min. or so, I swear I have the worlds smallest bladder. It's the getting to bed at a decent hour that is going to be hard, but I have done it before and I know I can do it again. It's a proven fact that people who go to sleep earlier rather than later and get at least 8 hours of sleep will lose more weight than those who don't. Plus I hate sleeping in I mean I love it sometimes but everyday it can get depressing. Anyways on to my stats.

January 5, 2010

Exercise- Power 90 X legs and back 58 mins Calories burned- probably around 500 (I'll have to get a heart rate monitor and calorie counter)

Food-
Breakfast- Protein Shake Calories - 170
Lunch- Protien Shake Calories- 170
Snack- Wheat Thins Calories- 140
Dinner- Healthy Choice and Green Beans Calories- 280

Not to bad also I am trying to not eat after 7:00 pm so far so good, Wish me luck

Oh this is happening!!!

2010-01-04T18:24:00.000-08:00

So I promised myself I would never have a blog! At last here I am writing my first post. My justification for this is I have convince myself this blog will help me with what I can't seem to do right now, go in DIET mode!!! ugh I hate dieting okay that is a lie I actually enjoy losing weight I have done it before and I have never felt better. But for some reason I cannot flip the switch this time. So I have started this blog in hopes that me blogging about my day, what I did, what I ate, did I lose any weight will actully help me stick with this diet (way of life) lets be serious eating healthy and exercise is something I am going to have to do for the rest of my life now to get to doing that.

So what my plan is is to check in everyday basically I will be keeping a food and exercise journal and obviously complain about my struggles, brag about my triumphs, and vent about my frustrations. I will weigh in every week and post my progress. I hope to be at my goal by March 27, 2010 (day of my little sisters wedding) So for the next three months my goal is to lose 10 - 15 pounds. I give my self a 5 pound window so that I will not be disappointed. I would be completely happy with 10 pounds my ultimate goal is 15 pounds and if I do not reach that within 3 months I will keep pushing through but I am realistic and for me 15 pounds in 3 months will be tough so hence the window.

Now time for the ugly truth, my stats:

January 4, 2010

Height- 5.3
Weight- 141.2

Exercises- Treadmill 45 min
Calories Burned- 493

Food Eaten-
Breakfast- Protien Shake (180 calories)
Lunch- Handful of Sun chips and wheat thins ( ? calories) Mac and Cheese (oh the shame)
Dinner- Cheese sticks how many I stopped counting at 5 ( I know I know I am wallowing in a pool of shame) Oh and lets not forget the piece of cake I ate!!! Ahh kill me now!!

Okay so obviously my first day of the diet didn't go so well, but tomorrow is a new day and I am newly motivated so until tomorrow!!
