health health health!

So I started my day with havinonly a quarter of a peach and half an apple. I was running so late! I had to finish up on a lab report and attend a 3 hours lab later. I had to miss one of my classes too. And now I have only 6 hours till midnight, at least 4 of which I will spend studying for my two midterms tomorrow. I know I would barely be evn.

Anyway for lunch I had 1 chocolate chip granola bar (110 calories). I missed gym today because my muscles were killing me last night and I decidedto give them a break to heal. gym tomorrow though! I want to spend the day at the gym on Sunday. Burn around a thousand calories. I want to know what it feels like and whether it is as hard as it sounds!

For dinner I had biryani. I didn’t take and potatoes. I took more chicken than rice. but I have no idea how much oil there was in it!

If I get hungry I will eat some more peach. but thats it for today. Food I mean

I should put down what I had for dinner before I change my mind. Because it’s too embarrassing….

for breakfast I had:

• smallest strawberry chessecake slice.
• 1.5 eggs
• half a slice of bread
• tea without milk or sugar

I skipped lunch and went to the gym. I burned 300 calories today. which is OK.

I came home starving (again) and ended up eating 1.5 large servings of rice, pulses and shrimp &potato  curry. I was so embarrassed after I had it that I didn’t even want to put it here! But I knew I should. Thats the whole point of blogging….

My plan is to get a box of hundred calorie energy bars…like kellogg’s stuff….and have it right after gym so I’m not starving like crazy before coming home and will end up eating less.

I will also look into counting my calories everyday. An interesting article I found surfing blogs is http://www.debramoorhead.com/blog/?p=95 which says we should eat the optimum number of calories for the weight we would like to be. Mine says I should eat 1740 which is only 400 calories less than what is required to maintain my curent weght (which is 159 lbs).

I have four midterms next week and amidst society work, assignments and gym, I’ve sort of negected studying for them. I would love to go to the gym toda but I need to put my head down and study. ‘ll do Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred instead. I need to make all A pluses this time! and I know I can. I will not let myself snack a lot during studying, I find that has been one of the biggest setbacks in my weightloss journey.

I had a couple of eggs and a cup of tea for breakfast. I’m hoping it would keep me full till I get lunch. After I’m done with this nightmarish week I will actually look into what groceries will be best for me and go out and buy them. Right now I’ll do my best to resist ice cream and cookies which my kitchen is full of. I’m proud of myself for going for eggs instead of chocolate chip cookies in the morning! (each of which is 170 calories!!~JUNK)

My mini goal is to reach 155 pounds! which is ONLY 3.5 pounds away. Can I do it within one month? Yes I can!!

back to studying.

I have them memorized by now because I haven’t changed in a month:

• chest: 36.5
• below chest: 30.5
• abs: 37.5
• hips: 41.5
• Thighs: 24
• Arms: 11
• Shins: 15

Starting weight: 163.5

weight lost:           4.5

To lose:                  31 pounds!

I’m 19 years old and I’m new to the blogging scene, but very excited to begin my journey to becoming thinner and healthier! I have ignored losing weight for the longest time (10 years…) but I put my foot down in June this year and vowed to stick with my regime no matter how many times I swayed. and sway I did. I had guests come over for a month (September) in which I practically got an excuse to binge on pancakes, muffins, ice cream, waffles and what ever not (guests could eat like no tomorrow and not gain a pound) and ended up gaining two pounds. I have genes of heart disease passed down from both my parents and I can’t afford to keep adding on. I want to be healthy and not craving for energy all the time.

My goal is to lose 35 pounds by the end of next year. To some it may sound like a massive amount, others may think “been there, done that!”…I agree with the former! I have a non-existent support system right now and so far I haven’t done a lot to acheive what I want. I have lost 4.5 pounds since the beginning of June. Which is something because I’d only be gaining consistently year by year since five years. But I’d like to do much better.

What would really make me happy would be to reach hald my goal weight by my birthday next year, which is in April. I will also be visiting new york around that time for a conference and I’d just really like to feel amazing in my new suit and feel extremely confident! I can’t wait to hit the gym
