Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

Weighed in this morning at 184.6! That’s 1.6 less than last week and I’m thrilled with that loss because if I could lose 1.5 lbs per week, that would be a great weight loss rate for me

So, I always think about people wanting to know the Secret to Weight Loss and um, I figured it out.  After reading my blogs, and all the amazing other chicks’ blogs on this site the secret is:

EAT LESS (and when you do eat, eat healthily) and EXERCISE MORE.
There were so many times in the past few years where I would try to look up supplements, or special 6 minute workouts, or special diets etc etc. And those never worked for me.  But now, I’ve truly realized, sure it’s hard, but eating less and exercising more, is the crazy secret!

Shhh don’t tell! (except you can tell everyone, and a lot of people are still going to ask about what diet you are on, or what magic supplement you take.  and when people ask what diet you are on you can say it’s the “healthy diet” and your weight loss supplement is called “motivation and determination”) Ha.!

Happy Thursday Chicks!

[if that above post made no sense or was rambling, ignore it. i just woke up and am tired but happy haha]

Anyways, I wish I had clever titles. But I dont! Maybe once the school years starts and my days have a lot more of variety and craziness in them, the creative titles will start flowing. but not today. le sigh, no not today.

Food was pretty good, not great today.  BUT I did get to the gym and I completed day 2 of Week 8 of c25k–>BUT in reality I actually finished c25k because I ran for UM 31 minutes! (run of course meaning 4.5 and above, but i ended the last 5 min of running with 4.8 and above). so, now I think I’m kind of “done” with the c25k, and basically my goal from now on is to run (my running, not “Real running”) 3+ times a week for 30 min without stopping and hopefully soon, I will be able to pick up my pace, without dying, to more than 4.5 mph. i think i’m still going to do a couple more runs of 4.5 mph for 30 min, but then i definitely want to pick up the pace, gradually, SOON!  ADVICE:  How do I start picking up my pace while still running 30 min straight, without dying? THANKS.

So Today:

Breakfast:, 1 tofu dog (45) + ketchup (15), ¼ yogurt (30), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55)

lunch: slice of cheese pizza (375) and 1.5 choc chip cookies (175)-550 (argh this was not the lunch I was excpecting a the lunch meeting. usually there is a burrito that is healthier. agh!)

snack:  pluot (40) and big piece of spinach bolani(50), skittles (50)-140 (ugh the skittles were a mistake!)

Dinner: Lean Cuisine (290) salad (110)- 400

Total: 1315–>done, nothing else today–>ugh 100 calories over. lame and before weigh in = hopefully not too bad.

Workout: 46 min on the treadmill, 3.1 miles 31 minutes of “running”. 10 minutes of abs and stretching.  day 2 of week 8 of c25k completed.
