well ive been insanely off the wagon and i am climbing back on tomorrow. i am battling this depression thing and i have decided as of right now i am going to win. i am going to eat right and exercise and study and graduate and take care of myself and i will battle this thing till the end. i will give an effort and i know i will not win every fight but i have to win this war. i know i can do this. weight loss, college, life i know i can do this. i am promising myself that i will stay OP for 21 days. today is day 1…

i am down 3.5#’s to 185.5 maybe i will be into the 170’s for my birthday!

bday is april 15th and i will be 26 i need to be as close to 179 as possible

i am tracking my calories in the daily plate and hopefully that will help me make sure i am eating enough.  and more importantly not eating too much. i have it set for 3 pounds a week and hopefully I can keep that up for a while.

5 weeks and 6 days till graduation!

my trip is at the end of may and i would hope to be at 165 by then i have 7 weeks and 4 days!

i hit 189 today! that is 10% of my body weight lost and i am in the 180’s! i am super excited and motivated!

i have not been to the gym yet but i plan to go today! i am super excited!

so i can hoist my fat a** back on! i promise to work out for at least an hour tomorrow! it is written so now i have to stick with it.

eating was okay today but not stellar but tomorrow will be POP!

i will write out this weeks plan now.

goodnight!

Weight : 193

Measurements:

Chest: 37 in.

Waist 31 in.

lower waist 35.5

hips 46

rt and left thigh 26

left arm 12.5

rt arm 11.75

Body Fat Percentage: 37%

I have lost 18.25 inches since December 3, 2008 and although the scale sucks i know i am making progress! I am ready to begin p90x although scared out of my mind! But I want to see what I will look like in 90 days!

whew! this has been a rough week to say the least.

to sum it all up i had a car accident which was not my fault but depending on the police report could be deemed my fault. my wallet with all of my personal information and my social security card was stolen. i am majorly behind on my classes because all of the above happened on tuesday and i missed a statistics class.

then i had a very upset stomach and feel awful today.

but i am super proud of myself because i have stuck to my detox and stayed OP!

i know i will reach my goals this year because i have had numerous things happen that normally would have pushed me toward food and i have triumphed. i think this is the biggest thing for me. and i feel like i can say i have conquered it.

next on the list is to conquer social situations and outings, birthdays, baby showers etc. i have to figure out what i need to do to handle these obstacles. march i have two baby showers and april begins birthday season for my friends and family.

i will make the best effort to make the right choices every day and thats all i can do. but even if i do fail at eating here and there i can control how much i send my butt to the gym.

so i reached 190 this week and although i am not on schedule where i wanted to be i am happy with my progress because the scale is moving down and i feel wonderful.

my brother is sending me p90x and i think i am going to do that beginning feb. 15 i would love to be 180lbs before i begin but i know that is prob not safe in ten days but if i continue this detox i might be close.

i guess i am learning to make lemonade!

current weight: 190

so i think i am going to begin the fat smash diet for a while to jump start my diet and get this weight loss going. i also am going to cut back on my strength and continue my running program. maybe this will get these pounds to shed a little faster. i also might start p90x in february or march to get ready for my trip in may.  i am focused just need to tweak my plan i think.

i have done really well with stress eating lately. although i have been really upset about my finances i have managed to not turn to food when the going gets tough. this one milestone is what i think will get me to goal. i am in control of what i eat at all times no matter what is going on in my life. this is surely a sign of growth.

i am going to tweak my plan and see what i can come up with to begin tomorrow.

still OP even through the flu! yay me!

current weight:197

We’ll its January 1st and I am still about 200 pounds. I’m not upset just hoping to get over this nasty plateau sooner than later. I have a major workout overhaul beginning tomorrow. I will begin C25K, 100 Pushup Challenge and The Ultimate Fitness Plan. This should give me about 1hrs worth of exercise everyday for 5-6 days a week. I am only weighing in for the Biggest Loser Challenge as I am taking another challenge to not focus on the scale. This definitely motivates me to be a gym rat. 

I found out I owe my university for this last semester and I will be taking a loan out for school expenses and my main living expenses. I can focus on school and myself without worrying about a full time job. I am so excited.  Well goodnight to all I need to go to bed so I can start myself on a normal sleep schedule.

ciao
