Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

thursday! this week is going by fast!!!

got about 6.5 hours last night, not as good as 7 but better than 6. i was study for a test which is why I was up late.

i had a very good UnOfficial weigh in today, but im not going to spoil/jinx it because tomorrow is my official weigh in.  im going out with a friend tonight so this is a reminder that I really have to stay on track today.  I dont have time to do a  full gym work out today, but I am going to the gym for about an hr, maybe an hour and 15 min, im just very on the clock, cuz i have to rush home after, shower, change and then go to class…

but if i have about an hour at the gym, is it better to do 30 min of cardio and 30 of weights and abs, or do my usualy 45 min cardio, and then just do 15 min of pretty much abs? thoughts?

bfast: 2 tangerines (80) and tea (0)-80

snack: 4 cashews (36) and coffee with splash of nf milk (25)-61

water: 6 done! woohoo!

gym: 45 min ellipitcal and 45 min weights and abs! woot woot!

didnt really track food this weekend. didnt go to the gym..i suck etc etc

but i do plan on staying on track during the week and doign some gym:

lunch: large salad (130), some baked chicken tender (300)-430

dinner: brown rice, tofu and some salad

snacks:bite of a donut, some cheese and crackers…

water: 5 down 1 to go

gym: 45 min of weights

last night was…fun/too much food/alcohol etc etc

i did a power hour last night…or at least half of one..and drank a lot of beer (more than I ever drink!) and ate some food that was definitely not on plan.  so while i usually treat my Saturday’s as my cheat days for food…this week, Friday was my cheat day…and now saturday I am back on plan.

breakfast: tangerine (40) and yogurt (100)-140

bottles of water: 1 down 5 to go

workout: dont know if it will be happening today or not…if not, for sure tomorrow!

back later! Happy Saturday!

I did my official weigh in today and was 201.2….so i didnt hit onderland…but I was at 204.6 on Monday so I lost 3.4 lbs in one week, which im really proud of. my goal will definitely be to hit Onderland+ by next Friday, but my biggest challenge will be to stay completely on track this weekend and not forget or ignore my eating rules, because the weekend is really when i get off track.

no food yet today, and not sure if today or tomorrow will be my rest day…we’ll see.

back in a bit!

happy friday

lunch: small bit of chow mein with grilled tofu (220), salad (150), and some grapes (60)- 430

snack: 1/2 cup of soy milk (50), and some cereal (100)-150

dinner: some chicken (95), 2.5 veggie potsticker (120?), and 1/2 a brownie (105)-320

water: 1 down 5 to go

gym: either going later tonight, or today will be my one rest day for 7 days

calories: 900; appx left:200

I never have class or work on Fridays, so Thursday is the last day of my week! Woohoo!

So I did an unofficial weigh in this AM and things are looking really good! I lost almost a pound from yesterday!  However, im still not sure that I will make it to Onderland tomorrow…I am going to REALLY plan on staying on track today, and do a great work out a low carb high protein intake and see how it goes.  If i dont hit Onderland tomorrow i KNOW i will be able to hit it next week AS LONG as i stay on track this weekend which will DEFINITELY be the biggest challenge.  I really want to hit Onderland tomorrow at my official weigh in…but I’m just not sure its possible.  Oh well, i know i’ve done a great job this week, and I have to rememember that I weighed in at 204.6 on Monday, so I’ve definitely lost a few pounds in 5 days…it just might be impossible to lose almost 5 lbs in 5 days… that was probably unrealistic.  anyways, im glad im on track and losing, and my main challenge will be to keep it up this weekend and not go too above my calorie range.  I think I will be having a gym rest day either Saturday or Sunday, I havent decided yet.

Breakfast: yogurt (100) and tea (0)-100

Well, i weighed in this morning and I guess no news is good news. same weight as yesterday, 202.4, which is fine but i still want to work towards hitting onderland on Friday.  I had probably a few too many munchies last night, in addition to not actually being very productive, so tonight im going to the library where i can bring one or two tangerines, but otherwise not snack ANd be productive.

Full Workout: 45 min elliptical, 50 min weights and abs!! been to the gym 4 days in row! woohoo!

I want to see Onderland on Friday! when snacking, only fruit and protein!!!

Two rewards/short term and long term:

Short term: when I hit Onderland I can go to Victoria’s Secret and spend a giftcard I have, but I can’t do that until I hit onderland

Long term (ish): once I hit 187 which is my original 40 lb weight loss, I can go to the Nike store and get another pair of my favorite $80 workout pants in black (right now I have grey!)!! Woohoo!

I weighed in this morning at 202.4 which is 2.2 lbs lower than yesterday!! Very few carbs, lots of water and working out is the way to go! I know it! I will hit Onderland this week!! I know I will/can, if I keep this plan up and dont get off track!!! I just have to stay focused!!! YAY! what good motivation! I can do this!!
