I did not see a new thread for those 'serious" college girls/girls looking to lose 10 pounds by xmas...so i decided to start this up!
Hope everyone is still up for the challege...its getting close but with each others support we can pull through!!!!
this week has been a tiny bit more flexible b/c I am visiting the bf ( he is on Vaction)...we have gone out to each a few times...but I try to make good choices...aside from the coffee and baileys...lol... oh well
Just what i was looking for! Im a student of animation (which means lots of sitting/standing to drawing, and not much moving). Id never been in a building with a vending machine before, so the freshman 15 whooped my butt. Anyway ive gotten over the novelty now, and im eating a lot healthier, and trying to do little things to exercise, but i keep gaining and loosing 5 lbs.. Urgh. I weigh 133ish right now and id love to weigh in around 120, though perhaps not by xmas! Im flexable.. Hopefully in the next month i'll be taking up yoga (hey my boyfriend wants me to do kung fu, but its a little too intensive for me right now.. maybe one day). So yes! best of luck to the gals watching this thread! I hope more people post!
It is finals week at my university, i'm sure it is by you guys too. The big challenge is that since there is nothing to do but study all day long, and that is sooo boring, all I want to do is just eat and then go out at night and get drunk. It is definitely a challenge... especially since all of my roommates are drinking like fish and ordering pizza all of the time.
Hey Ladies... gald to hear you are all still trying to stay on track
I fell off this weekend, but am back on today...I hated finals, I always ate! But i learned last year to packl LOTS of veggies and go to the library (away from the roomies who eat/drink)...Good luck to all of you!!!!
Oh dear god! will the christmas season never end! >.< 3 days in, and im not doin so well :P Me and mah man have been indulging a lot because its the last week of school, and he's leaving for three weeks on sunday. Needless to say, there is nothing in his appartment to eat, so we've been ordering in or eating out so that there wont be any food to spoil while he's away! Friday night is the christmas party at my school. Wish me luck. Good thing i dont like egg nog...
Man I hear ya!!! I am not doing so well over her either!!!
My mommy and I baked cookies last night and well I have eaten tons!!!! I did how ever make a modified batch (ww flour, egg beaters etc) but am I eating them...nope! anyway I am planning to be extra good for the rest of the week , I think I will put the cookies out of my sight *out of sight out of mind right!!??!!*
I'm slacking, but still serious about trying. I'm so busy with work right now (retail supervisor...you get the pic) that I hardly have time for anything. School is done for a month which is good, but my job is stressing me out.
I haven't been doing good at all, but today I stepped on the scale, and I didn't gain any back. Infact, I'm actually lost a half a pound. Thats incentive to get back on track!
What are the plans to stay on track during the holidays??????
Ha! My plan for the holiday... Well ive decided it starts tomorrow after mah boyfriend leaves! I plan on building a portfolio to get an internship over the summer, so ill probably be closeted in the house a lot to draw, so im going to stock up on healthy groceries, and try not to venture too near the corner store! Lots of fruits, and home cooked food (which we all know is healthier than processed food :P) I might pre plan my meals just so its easier to stay on track, and when you make food ahead of time, its so convenient you've got to eat it! Exercise wise, I hope to take up hot yoga (yoga done in high temperatures- not a sauna- because its better for the muscles, and makes you sweat!) And i also might learn to swim! Yay! It helps when your friends are swimming instructers Also planning on doing simple exercises at home like situps and push ups every second day ... Gonna suprise my lovely man when he gets back! Woot!
Oh yea, and christmas dinner? Forget it. Ill eat healthy for the day and to **** with it for one meal :P Happily the dinner isnt being hosted at my house, so i get to go up and visit my mum, and she can dole out the leftovers to other people
I have had 3 christmas parties already...so far not doing so hot...BUT, I compensate during the week by eating more veggies/fruit/salad etc...I find that if I am extra good that I can treat myself at the parties, I have found that I have not gotten into the treats as badly as I thought I would... I have not gained any weight so it seems to be working...not exactly what I had planned, but as long as I don't gain...I will be happy...
Baft! Never too late to join.. as things go we've hardly started as it is! Anyway can feel free to post, at any time! It'd be boring if they didnt
So! The man is gone... *WEEP!* lol i miss em already. I got up with him at 6 in the morning and went alllllll the way to the airport (which is always far, no matter where you are!) and we didnt have time to eat breakfast. We were going to eat together at the airport but the woman at the ticket counter said that after she taged his bag he had to go through american customs immediatly :| So sadly we had to say goodbye there. And so i started the 2 and a half hour subway ride home :P and i was SO hungry i stopped at the corner store and bought frozen waffles and hot chocolate. UGH! New rule, never go shopping on an empty stomach, and never travel on an empty stomach!!!!..... on the up hand the waffles are really good. And my sister eats them too :P Its gonna be soooooo hard to kick this, because my dad keeps bringing home chocolate because he found an uber expensive place (they do things like cocoa with chili peppers in it). So yes. Thwarted. Again :P I think i might have gone back up to 135, but my scale is unreliable... Hey and it could be water weight.....right?.....

Goodstuff fitgal! I tried to go for the veggie plates at the school christmas party but.... they didnt have any. I had like, three peices of mushy sushi but we ate before we came, which was a great idea. Although the rest of that day was bad! We were at the zoo sketching animals and there is only one restraunt there - Harveys. I dunno if you have it there, but its a burger joint. Now, i eat burgers maybe three times a year, so this isnt so bad, but the thing is - over the holiday i plan on going to the zoo more often to keep my life drawing up! Time to buy more tupperware i guess. Anyways i did actually go to the party after party, but it was an unplanned party in a Tiiiiiiiiny teeny little bachelor pad. I dont think i could live in one of those :P It would just be a minature wasteland of my clothing and papers. Hehe! Walls are essencial for containment for me! Anyways enough rambling! Ta for now!
