Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

Hey Chickies! Life is going just wonderfully today! i got an EXCELLENT night’s sleep (9 hrs! woohoo) woke up, ate some pre-gym food, had an AWESOME workout, came back and had some healthy and very filling late lunch! now im off to do some work and maybe go out tonight. i decided if I do go out to a bar, my one drink will be a rum and diet coke! and that’s that! i’ll be back later! hope you all are having Fab weekends!

Today:

Pre-Gym: ½ cup of cottage cheese (45) and ½ banana (55)-100

Late lunch: egg whites (125) and spinach (25) and 1 slice of toast (50) with cream cheese (15) and jam (10)- 225

Snacks: 1/2 cup of kgl (70), nectarine (70) and kombucha (35)-175

Dinner: thai food shared, so some noodles brown rice, tofu chicken and veggies.  so, I’m going to estimate it at about 595 or so, becuase I think my portions were pretty good.

Bar stuff:  1 rum and diet coke (150), 1/2 cranberry vodka (85), and some peanuts (95?)- 330

Total: 1425–>so I went a bit over than I had planned, but nothing drastic, so I’m pretty happy! and I had a REALLY fun time with my friend at the bar! AND I wore my new jeans, and UM they aren’t tight at all! they fit perfectly! WOOHOO!!! yay!

Workout: Day 3 week 7 of c25k completed. (will start week 8 on Monday) I’m still running at a 4.5 pace and then once in a while upping it to 4.6/4.7 and finishing it with 5.0 for about 2 minutes. then i did some slow and fast walking to come to a total of 45 min and 3 miles. Then I did 45 min of weights and abs! i love the weekends when I have time to do all the workouts I want to do!

enjoy your saturdays!

Today was a pretty good day! I was quite good with food except in the evening I had a few too many snacks at the end as I was watching tv.  That has been my pitfall for the last 2 nights, so I really need to kick in my self control button from now on especially for the next two weeks so that I stay on plan entirely.  In other more exciting news,I went shopping today and ALL OF THE BOTTOMS I GOT WERE SIZE 14! JEANS AND A COUPLE PAIRS OF PANTS.  UM AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Now, it’s not to say they arent a tad tight, but they do fit perfectly well that I can wear them everyday.  And as I lose more pounds, they will become looser and looser, but um they totally fit and are WEARABLE! i fit into a size 14.  I started at a Size 20, and 40 lbs later I’m at 14.  WOOHOO! i’m SO excited.  I need to keep this at the forefront of my brain so that I continue to stay on track and exercise and eat right so that maybe within the next few months I will be at *GASP* size 12!!!!!!!!!! i know i can do it! i just need to focus.  I also got some tops, all in size large.  so im down to size Large tops (and leggings! i got a pair of those too) and size 14 bottoms. NOT TOO SHABBY!

anyways, here’s the food for today. no gym again today. fridays I’m too social, but i’m doing full workouts both saturday and sunday.  tomorrow is day 3 of week 7 of c25k! WOOHOO!!! life’s good, but just so busy!

breakfast:1 tofu dog (45) + ketchup (15), kombucha (35), yogurt (65), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55), 1/4 cup of cereal (35), 1/4 cup of berries (15) -295

lunch: 1 chicken apple sausage (120), snap peas (30), plum (30), fiber 1 bar (140)- 320

snack:  1 plum (30) ½ marsmellow (13)-43

Dinner: mongolian bbq with very few noodles (200), some tofu (150), and some veggies (80), and some sauces (50)- 480

Dessert: tiny (like REALLY SMALL) piece of  my friends homemade red velvet cake (175?), small piece of dark chocolate w/ almonds (42)- 217

Snacks at home after (what i need to control in the future)- 100 cal popcorn and a pudding cup (60)-160

Total for today: 1515–>so nothing crazy, but need to start keeping to my plan more and leaving a greater buffer for accidental snacking.

Off to sleep now! i’m going to plan out all of my food tomorrow morning for tomorrow so as to avoid this issue of overeating/less control at night.

but i’m going to bed cheerful because SIZE 14!!!!!!!! WOOHOO! night yall!
