Measurements

I haven't written in a while, mainly because there hasn't been much more news.
I've been working out almost every day of the week. I didn't today due to the work out yesterday really making my abs and biceps sore. But I'm happy because this is the first workout I've had since my persosnal trainer workout last Friday. That lady really had me going and made my legs sore for a long time. They're still a tad sore but nothing major so tomorrow at the gym I will be focusing on them.

I weighed 247lb yesterday and get on the scale a couple hours ago to find myself at 243lbs. And this was after I had a few wheat thins and chicken patties. So yay! Throughout this week I've really been all over the place. I haven't gone past 250, but I've gotten close to it. Last week my boss brought in donuts and I had half of one before getting sick from it, but that really put me in the set backs which I am not proud of. But it's ok! I need to gain weight due to muscle anyways, that's what I keep telling myself.


So I decided to not only track my weight loss, but inch loss as well.
2 days ago before the gym these were my measurements:
waist- 40in
hips-50 in
bicep-14.5 in
underbust-40in
bust-47in
upper thigh-30 in
loert thigh- 24in
calf- 17 in

Gym

I haven't posted here in a while.This week has sucked. I haven't stuck to my diet well and haven't been exercizing much. BUT on the plus side, my boyfriend and I joined L.A. Fitness yesterday. Poor boy has a sleep problem and didn't get to sleep until 8 this morning (when it was snowing) so I'm going to let him sleeunp until 3/4 and then we'll hit the gym! I'm really excited about this. I know it will help me SO much more.

Temptations

I've been bad these past few days. Temptations really gotten to me. I weighed myself this morning ay nd I was at 245.6. AMAZING. I was so happy. So what do I do? I eat some of the cake I made my boyfriend for his birthday yesterday. Shame on me. No more of that cake will enter my lips, plus I feel sick mentally and physically from it now.
I NEED TO LOSE THE WEIGHT. I can not give in to temptation anymore.


It just sucks that the thing you need to survive, can also end up killing you. Food is a double edged sword that I need to overcome. I don't even like cake that much, so why did I? No clue. But I will overcome this.

Push past 246

So I've finally made it to my 2lb goal of 246. Now to 244lbs! Just gotta do this 2lbs at a time in order to stay sane. Although one thing I need to do is to weigh myself once a week instead of once a day. I get too excited and curious. I need to stop myself. So the next weigh in is on the 9th for my one week weigh in for the website that I've joined and I will continue on from there!


I don't remember the last time I've been this weight. For a few years I just stopped weighing myself because I was discouraged and didn't want to face reality that I was overweight. I mean I knew I was, but I didn't want to face the numbers out of fear. New year for a new me!

246

This week is the first week since I've started my weight loss goal that I have stayed under 250lbs. To some this may seem silly, but it is amazing to me. Even if I skirt 249, as long as I don't go back up past 250 I am fine. I realized a great way to keep myself motivated. Whenever I want to eat junk food, don't think about the 160lbs long term goal, just think of the goal for this week. My goal right now? 246lbs.
Want a bag of chips? I have to repeat to myself 246, 246, 246. Then once I finally hit 246 I my goal will be 243 and so on for every 3 pounds.


I have found an odd liking for dipping my carrots in mustard though. But hey, mustard has 0 calories so load it on!
Already worked out once today. Going to work out a second time in a few minutes.



246, 246, 246, 246

Birthday Party

So yesterday I was doing really well, especially since I knew I had to be because it was my friends birthday. We went out to dinner at Macaroni Grill and my initial plans were to get a salad. Upon arriving there I became weak. I got some AMAZING chicken parmigiana with a huge alcoholic drink. I was sure I was going to gain back 5lbs because that's just how my body is.
This morning I weighed myself and I had lost around 2 POUNDS. No clue how that happened but I'm happy! People keep telling me to not weigh myself every day but I get curious. It's really a motivation for me to weigh myself every day vs. every week. I don't see how it will make things worse. It's not like weighing every day will put extra pounds on my body!

So total weight loss is 11lbs (again!) and I do not plan on having to bust my ass to reach that number again just because of a slip up.

HCG Diet

So today has been a day filled with talk of weight loss. At work, after work. My co-worker is also starting the HCG diet so when I got home I decided to do some more research and was seriously considering trying it. Through my research I found out that the store bought stuff is not actually the true hCG hormone but just a placebo. The true stuff is hundreds of dollars and you need an Rx to get it. Scratch that out of the question, I don't even have insurance! Told my other friend about it who has been on the hcg for a while and I believe she is going to try to get that Rx. Would feel bad if she continued to waste her money. Hopefully she still keeps up the good work though.

So today I started my 1000 calorie diet. Most things say for my weight and height I need 2500 calories a day, but I don't see how I could lose weight with that and I don't even eat close to 2500 calories in a day anyways! I made my own lunch and brought it to work, which is ironically Subway (we have an issue there that makes me not want to eat there, that's another story for another post though). I haven't felt like I am starving myself, I've been eating throughout the day nibbling on carrots. But my stomach seems to be in a constant hunger. Just need to get over this hump and continue on!


On the plus side I have lost 2 pounds and am back down to 250lbs. A while ago I got to 248 but then went back up to 256 a day later due to lord knows why. So hopefully it continues to go down this way! I WILL PREVAIL!
