Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

06 Dec, 2008

so, what’s a blog really for?

Posted by: travelgal In: General

so, i realized, obviously enough, that I dont blog when I’m not on track/am not tracking my food/eating bad food, etc.

but, i realized, that if I was perfect, I probably wouldnt have a blog in the first place.  so my new goal for this week, and completely in the future is to blog EVERYDAY and write down everything I eat, no matter how horrific it is, and to also write down my daily weight, even though only friday weigh ins will count. (next friday will be the next official weigh in…i was too afraid to weigh in today.)

So starting tomorrow I’m writing down every single thing I put in my mouth, and hopefully an estimate of calories not going about 1200-1300 per day.

Also, this week is really tough because it’s finals week/the end of the quarter so I have 1 final to study for on monday, one 15-18 page paper due thursday and 1 8-10 page paper due thursday.  Realistically this means that all I have time to do is, eat, STUDY, and hopefully get 8 hours of sleep per night so that I can study well and focus each day.  In an ideal world I would also make it to the gym for a little bit each day, but I dont want to make that a goal for this week because I may in fact be setting myself up for failure.

So my realistic goals for this week are:

1) to be completely prepared for my final and to do really really well on my two papers without feeling stressed or procrastinating. if I focus on doing my work, organize my time properly and dont procrastinate, I can definitely get it all done in a timely manner

2) get 8 hours of sleep every night

3) eat 1200-1300 calories per day and record EVERYTHING I EAT

4) weigh in everyday to keep myself on track and weigh in somewhere under 190 on Friday for the official weigh in.

ok! i can do this!!!!!! wish me luck! i need all the help i can get!

I like that you have made your finals and getting enough sleep to take your finals your top priority on your goal list. Very good! Tracking what you eat and avoiding a bunch of crap eating is important too, but right now you need to remember that you’re a student who doesn’t want to be a student FOREVER (plus who can afford that) and keep your school work on the top of your to do list.

How much do I sound like a mom, hee hee?

Funny, I just started doing a blog food journal this week too - let’s see if this approach will work for one or both of us!
