And now I’m off to work at my grandma’s house from 11 to 4.
Apparently she wants me to drive her to Stop & Shop so she can get groceries, which means she’ll want to go through the Wendy’s drive-thru for lunch. I need to figure out if I can afford to get the chicken nuggets there or if I should stick strictly to the Lean Cuisine I’ve been eating the past few weeks.
When I was younger, I used to never care about my weight. Now, it’s everything to me.
What food is your weakness?
Anything drizzled or covered in chocolate.
Wasn’t TUMBLR friendly. lol
Lunch was a chicken & mushroom pasta n sauce made up with water (free) mixed with a full tin of mushrooms (superfree) & a pint of squash (free.
Kitkat as usual is 5.5syns.
Gonna get home & do my biggest loser workout! Hopefully will be greeting Bob & Jillian like old friends. I won’t want anything too heavy after that so I’m going to oven cook 2 of my garlic & chilli sausages (syn free from Joe’s Sausages our consultant makes a group order every week) and chop them up into a 2 egg omelette (free).
Sorted!
BY THE WAY, some creeper who apparently lives across from the gym congratulated me on how often I’ve been going there :D
Apparently he can see me exercising everyday from his window that faces the gym o.O
Scale came in yesterday and I weighed myself this morning: 146 lbs. That means I’ve lost 6 lbs since my starting weight of 152 lbs.
I’m not going to lie I’m feeling a little bit disappointed… During the school year I usually weight 147 lbs. I gained 5 lbs when I went home this semester between my brother’s graduation celebrations, my going away celebrations, etc, etc. I feel like I’m just back to the weight I usually am. There was even a point this spring where I was down to 143 lbs. I feel like I won’t be breaking even until I’m back down to 143. There’s no reason I should have put that 10 lbs back on. I never want to put that weight back on again.
Either way… before I got on the scale I was feeling awesome about my figure. I’ve been going to the gym a lot. I haven’t lost 20 lbs over night and I need to understand that is healthy. I want to loss the weight healthy with an exercise program I can keep up with when I go back to school. An hour of gym a day isn’t unreasonable to keep up with during the semester.
I weighed myself before I went to the gym today and after some working out I feel better :D I’m going to keep this up!
Maybe I haven’t lost so much because all the fat has been turning into heavier muscle at the gym :P
even though i only had it for a week and a half, i guess it was a pretty easy habit to get into. :P
i ordered some new ones last night. three different cheap ones. not sure which kind works best for me, and they were seriously around $2 a piece+shipping so it’s not like i have much to lose if any of them break. haha. if all three of them break…well then…i’ll have to think about getting a fancy expensive one i guess. :P
anyway, i think all of them are coming in from out of the country so it’s going to be a while until i get them. ah well, at least we’re getting the treadmill this weekend.
Until then, think I’m just going to do lots of walking.
The reason that got me into weight loss this time around was honestly… my boyfriend. I think that’s a great reason beside being healthy. I want to enjoy being healthy with someone I love.
I want to enjoy his company in more ways than just sitting around watching movies but being fit enough to go hiking and enjoy the beautiful world with him and others.
In light of that…
Goal setting:
By the end of the summer I want to…
- Overhead Press: 50 lbs. This is important to me because I’m so short I need to be able to lift things that are over my head :P Seriously…
- Chest Press: 100 lbs. I’m already at 62.5!
- Row: 100 lbs. It seems to keep up with the chest press.
- Leg Press: 200 lbs.
I don’t think these goals are crazy. I’ll work at them everyday :)
Are you vegan or vegetarian? If so, has this helped you lose weight? If not, would you ever consider turning vegan or vegetarian?
I went vegetarian for like a month and I did lose a lot of weight, but I got sick because I wasn’t doing the whole vegetarian thing right. I eat meat now, but I eat it a lot less frequently. I wouldn’t go veggie again just because I work out so much and I need meat as a source of protein, but I do choose fish or poultry a lot now.
My boyfriend is coming over to see me! We’ve been apart for 5 weeks so it will be so good to be back together, he is only staying Friday - Monday so we don’t have long, but it will be so nice, I keep thinking about it and getting butterflies! SO EXCITED!!! I’m going to pick him up from the airport at 11am!
I need to start planning things to do with him, on Saturday we are going to watch my Dad do a triathlon, the sea swimming element of it is around a big rock with a 1000+ year old castle perched on top of it so that will be all pretty and nice. I want to go for a cycle together as well (exercise AND couple time, excellent!) and just chill and do nice things together.
After he goes on Monday though we won’t see each other for another 5 or 6 weeks :-(
OH and that was what I came on here to ask you all, we are going out for a meal together tomorrow night to my local Indian restaurant, I don’t really know what the best thing to have weight-loss-wise would be, obviously I want to stay away from things like fried rice, naan, and creamy curries like korma and tikka masala, so what would you suggest? I was thinking I’d get tandoori chicken or chicken shashlik and then steal literally 2 spoon fulls of my boyfriend’s boiled rice (the portions are HUGE). What do you think? Does that sound sensible? What do you normally order at an Indian if you’re watching your weight?
