Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

breakfast: yogurt (70), 1/4 cup of kgl (35), 1 grande nf sf vanilla latte (120) -225

lunch (all estimates): egg white omelete with mushrooms, spinach, small bit of bacon and cheese (205), some tator tots (110), 1 small piece of blueberry cake/bread with cream cheese (105), some watermelon (5)-lunch total: 425

snack: 1/2 grapefruit (52), 5 almonds (43)-total 95

dinner: ooof, im full, my friend’s house had a pot luck, where i ate a variety of little things including: açai juice, pasta, brown rice, chicken, some steak and some desserts, im gonna estimate that it all equaled about 750 cals. más o menos…

snack: 3 turkey slices (25)

cals eaten so far: 1520 ; appx left: 80 left max.

workout: my workout today was awesome. it flew by so fast! 33 min elliptical, 18 min treadmill (and i never went below 4.1 mph when running my mile! woohoo) about 45-50 min of weights and abs! yay!

ah, sorry ive been totally MIA. this week was entirely hectic and crazy. it’s not really slowing down but i dont want to get too off track or anything so i will blog tomorrow no matter what! hope all is well with everyone!

I am getting really frustrated with these pounds! I know it’s *that week* so perhaps my weight is off a bit, but now im yo-yoing between 202-203! Last week I was at 201.something! I really want to hit the 190s and be out of these awful 200s. I know that this whole thing is a process, and that nothing happens overnight, or even in a week, but I hate that I’m yo-yoing and not making any progress. Yes, clearly, I’m thrilled that im out of the 220s and 210s, but come on, I’m so close and working so hard to be out of the 200s entirely, and it just seems like it’s not working. I mean I know this is a bad week to base my rant on because clearly the body is just different during this week and retains water, etc etc, but come on, I hate feeling like I’m gaining or stalling. I will admit i ate a couple of things after I finished blogging last night (turkey jerkey, 1 more 1/2 tbsp of pb, and a few kashi cheese crackers), but that certainly doesnt equal another pound. I’ve even been so good about cutting out breads and popcorn and pastas and then it sucks not to see results. Anyways, I’ll just try to keep sticking to the plan until the thursday weigh in and onwards, but, if I do not break into the 190s by next thursday May 14, there will have to be a drastic plan change, because this is getting ridiculous. ugh.

Breakfast: yogurt (70) and 1/2 banana (55), 10 almonds (86)-211

well, i can give myself a break because of yesterday’s circumstances, but I need to get back on track, because I really want to be in the 190s, if not by this thursday (because of a variety of reasons, DEFINTELY by next thursday). i think today I’m going to limit myself to max 1300-1400 cals, and we’ll see about tomorrow.

anyways:

lunch/brunch: yogurt (70), KGL cereal (70), turkey (50), banana (110), 1 tbsp of PB (100)-total: 400

snack: 11 almonds (95), strawberries (50), 1 green apple (35)-total: 180

Dinner: chicken with broccoli (200), veggie egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce (130), small bit of thai tofu (120), brown rice (135), watermelon (20)-total: 605

Snack: 1 tbsp of pb (100), turkey jerky (60), slightly less than 1/4 cup of KGL (30), and a few strawberries (33)

Cals so far: 1408–>done

Workout: 48 min elliptical, 50 min weights and abs

for calorie/food counting or for exercise. as i had mentioned in my last post, i was fasting for my blood test, and I went in for my blood test, and low and behold, as i was getting my blood drawn (from a tiny vein because they can never find big/normal ones), i totally fainted. yeah so that was awful. luckily i brought an awesome friend with me which was invaluable. so i basically spent the remainder of the day eating food to try and gain back strength and the rest of time laying in various people’s beds as i hopped around here and there and watched some tv while trying to get hw done. anyways, today might have slightly messed up my weigh in for thursday, but i actually think next week will be the crucial weigh in because this week is *that week* so my weigh ins are always skewed then, anyways. so i just have to get back on track tomorrow and get back to the gym etc so i can hopefully either be near or reach my goal next week. blah i hope today didnt do too much damage.

alright off to finish hw and go to bed. will have a real food/workout post tomorrow.

tata

Brunch: 1 chicken tamale (~450?) no clue, it was at a farmers market, and some kettle corn (200), watermelon juice (70) -total 720

Snack: 2 tbsp of organic peanut butter (200)

Dinner: grilled chicken breast (130), roasted potatoes (110), ketchup (35), salad w/ 1 egg white(80), 2 pieces of watermelon (25), milk in my coffee (55)-dinner total: 435

Snack: 11 almonds (94), some chicken noodle soup (130), 1 green apple (35)-259

Calories eaten so far: 1614–>Done and fasting till about 3 tomorrow.

Workout: 35 min on the elliptical, 16 min on treadmill, 1 hr 20 min weights and abs

Also, I have to go get a blood test tomorrow to read various levels of things which means I have to stop eating at midnight and cant start eating again until after my bloodtest. To be entirely honest, I’m actually pretty excited about this forced short term fast, just to see how it goes, especially because I KNOW I have to stick to it, per doctor’s orders.

Excellent.

ugh i’ve eaten too many carbs and cheese within the last few days and my weight has already snuck back up! it’s so annoying knowing that my weight is DIRECTLY related to carb and cheese consumption, but also, obviously it’s a really good thing to know.  so I’m actually going on my exact same no carb/no cheese plan as before to see if I can get my weight back down to where it was (and farther down) so that I dont keep doing this stupid yo-yo.  I want to be in the 190s!!!! ok, so yeah, same drill, yes brown rice, yes boiled, grilled, roasted potatoes. no nothing else. including no popcorn, crackers, pretzels, bread, pasta,  no cheese etc.  I really need to be careful because I know how much my weight is being affected by these carbs.blahhh

ok:

breakfast: yogurt and some almonds

lunch: some turkey and cheese(erghh, i know), some wild rice salad, and part of a brownie (i was at a reception, but I know it’s no excuse!)

—from this point on, i’m strictly back on plan!

workout: 33 min elliptical, 17 min treadmill, 15 min weights, will do more abs when I get home tonight

back later! i’m going shopping! i want to fit into a cute dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

weigh in day and im down to my lowest yet 201.4! im feeling really lovely about my new low carb plan, and while i have to make some adjustments to it, I will stay on it for a while, until i encounter another plateau or whatever.

also, today was a really long day and i didnt track food or go to the gym, but i ate fine. i dont think i have time for the gym tomorow but i will definitely have time saturday and sunday. the big thing will be to keep track of my food over the weekend and tomorrow as well! we shall see! but anyways, i would LOVE to be at 199 next thursday, so I’m really going to aim for that!

YAY

better post in the coming days!

hope all is well with everyone!
