Breakfast Tomorrow

I’m going to Creation with my family tomorrow. I’m going to have to live with them in a camper for 4 days, and eat every meal together, plus snacks and desert. How am I supposed to lose weight if they are watching my every bite? :p

To the anon, who asked for a pic………

107 pounds :)

The treadmill we have is so old. None of the buttons/counters work anymore and the belt keeps sliding to the side.

I’m too broke/cheap to get a membership though :| Wish I just had an elliptical in my basement :p

1 yogurt diet: 63kcal

1 espresso without sugar: 2kcal

Total: 65kcal

RELIGIOUS INSPIRATION

TRUE RELIGION : Sammy $240 from truereligion.com

This is my first inspirational post. It’s pretty cold here at the moment and while I do own a pair of jeans they’re nothing special. These jeans, however, I love and helped get me through my workout tonight! I LOVE wide leg jeans, I think there’s something about that them that looks so smart. They’re the perfect jean for transitioning between casual friday and a night on the town. So cute with stilettos peaking out the bottom.

• 100 jumping jacks
• 100 sit ups
• 50 leg lifts (each leg)
• 25 push ups (on the knees)

If you want to lose weight safely and effectively, one key factor is identifying your body’s metabolic type. In this brief article, we will take a closer look at one of the three metabolic types: the Carb Type.

Basic Characteristics of Carb Types

If you are identified as a Carbohydrate Type, your appetite tends to be weaker than Protein and Mixed Types. Carb Types are usually satisfied with just a minimal amount of food and don’t think too much about food until hungry. Carb Types may go for longer periods without food consumption. This may lead to starvation mode. This method of decreasing the body’s metabolic rate can make it make more difficult to lose weight and can lead to obesity. They have a high tolerance for carbohydrates and starchy food. This can be harmful, since it can lead to conditions such as diabetes, insulin resistance and hypoglycemia. Moreover, Carb Types tend to be more dependent to caffeine than other metabolic types. Oftentimes, dependency on caffeine suppresses their appetites more, leading to nutrient deficiency.

Ideal foods for Carb Types

The ideal diet for Carb Types should include more carbohydrates than fats or proteins. But this doesn’t mean that protein is not needed. Healthy options are low-fat proteins such as whitefish and white meat poultry. Carb Types can choose from various healthy carbohydrate sources and eat them in sizable portions than any other type. Keep in mind that Carb Types convert carbs into energy much slower than Protein Types. This doesn’t mean that they can binge on carbs.

Preventing Insulin Increase

If you’re a Carb Type with the objective of losing weight, one thing that you should be concerned about is having increased insulin levels. Insulin stores fat and larger amounts of it in your bloodstream will make it quite hard for you to lose weight. It is important to keep your insulin levels at bay.

Choosing Healthier Carb Sources

Go for low-starch vegetables such as salad greens and broccoli. Decrease your intake of high-starch carb sources such as grains, breads and pasta. If you feel sleepy, sluggish or hungry after eating a meal, you may have consumed more grain than recommended. Increase your protein intake and reduce the amount of grain in your next meals. 

Choosing Dairy Consciously

Carb Types are slow in metabolizing dairy. You can determine if dairy is a good option for you by checking your reaction after dairy consumption. It would be best if you limit the amount of dairy in your diet if you feel fatigued or sluggish after your consumption. Here’s some good sources of calcium.

Keep in mind that anything in excess can lead to weight disorder. Control your food intake in portions suitable for your metabolic type if you want to lose weight fast. For more safe, natural and effective strategies designed for your particular metabolic type, read the Diet Solution Manual, a powerful and highly proven diet system by acclaimed nutrition expert Isabel De Los Rios.

I’m Hayley and I am 21 years old.

I have began to realise that I haven’t been eating the right things at all so I have decided to do the 40 day challenge. My housemate is half way through her challenge and she has done so well!

The 40 day challenge has one major rule: eat healthy. So I am cutting down on the sugary snacks (my ultimate weakness). I’m not very happy with my weight at the moment but I have decided to bite the bullet and face the fact that I can look better. The truth is I want to be confident with the way I look. There was a point when I was 18/19 years old when I lost a lot of weight but remained unhappy with myself. In this challenge I was to focus on being happy with food and feeling comfortable in my own skin. 

I will document every single day of this challenge. I will write down what I eat, how much I weight and what kind of exercise I am doing.

Wish me luck

I’d like some more lovely, healthy fitness/weight-loss tumblrs to follow.

Tell me some of your favourites, please? :)

Sorry I didn’t post last night. It was mostly because it was a bad day and I could’ve cared less about my calorie counting. I even ate a slice of Walmart Triple Chocolaty Cake! *Le Gasp!* But Yeah. I just lost confidence in myself and I’m struggling with not seeing the results fast enough. People in DCI could feel me on this one cause on Tour you’re working 12 hrs a day and eating an all carb diet. I lost 30 pounds in 2 months! And some lil app on my ipod (my fitness pal) is telling me I’ll lose 10 pounds in 6 wks?!? WTF.

But Today I did SO MUCH BETTER! :D Salad for lunch and Subway for dinner. I will admit I had mc donalds for breakfast but it was perfectly within my calorie range :D PLUS right after this post I’m taking my wonderful boyfriend and walking/ power walking (no running!) at the park. :D 

I know I only have two followers but I like writing and having something to rant at I guess lol. Night! Think Thin!

I need to make one.. and stick to it. 

So now that I am at week 5 of the Couch to 10K program…holy hell do I feel the difference. 70 minutes of running?! brb I’m about to figure out the exact mileage of my quest…

Okay, and with 2 minutes of walking/2.5 minutes of running for a total of 70 minutes, I “ventured” a little over 5 miles. I don’t know if that’s good or what, but woo yeah 642 calories.

Anyone remember when I looked like this?

And then decided to look like this?

and

I really need a better ‘after’ shot… PHOTOSHOOT!

my favorite 100 calorie snack.

which brings my total net calories to -879

Will you race me? Will you? Please? Come on, race me?

Tonight, I was lucky enough to hang out with my friends 6 and 8 year old nieces. We took them to a park with a big nature trail and walked all around. Well actually we “raced” most of the time. Despite most of my attempts to get out of said racing, I found myself running along the trails and having fun instead of panting and thinking about how much I despise running most of the time. 

We didn’t go very far, just 2.4 miles, but I did spend the vast majority of it running.  I also got to educate, my second favorite thing, pointing out different trees, animals and bugs. Who doesn’t love that? 

Don’t have your own, borrow a friends, you’ll have a blast, I’m telling you. Their parents won’t mind when you return them completely exhausted either. 

Dedicated to all the weight plateauing sufferers

Gah! I get so discouraged when my WIW hasn’t budged, but I’ve come to realise that the numbers on the scale isn’t necessarily the be all end all. I just wanted to tell you to celebrate all your non scale victories. 

My NSV thus far:

• Oh hello collarbone nice to see you again
• I can breathe in jeans
• I can squat 10kgs in body pump now
• My legs are more toned 
• Got energy? Yes I do.

What NSVs have you achieved?

Actually so happy plans got cancelled for tomorrow! It means I don’t have to go out for supper tomorrow with friends! I can make up for today, which will take a lot. Exercised quite a bit today, but had tons of gross food for lunch with the friend. Yayay I get to miss the meal!

Hi, i’m new here, & this is my first post. This is mostly a weight loss blog…with some celebrities thrown in haha. I’d love to find some other people trying to be healthy & lose weight so we can motivate each other!

Going to work out now ?

19th post

I’m ashamed to say that last night, I overate my calorie limit after posting :/ But it’s not the end of the world - one screw up just isn’t a big deal. My limbs are all very sore from my various work outs yesterday, and I love the feeling! Today, I’m going to get a day-pass at the YMCA after dad gets home and work out like a beast. I may take my computer with me. If not, I’m def gonna try and find a way to put Biggest Loser episodes on my iPod so I can watch it while working out. That show is so inspiring! I can’t believe I only just now found it, but I’m really happy I did. I feel great working out while they’re working out. :]

My aim today is to burn at least 600 calories at the gym, although more is always better. I want to burn burn burn! I’m also going to try and eat a few less calories today to compensate for yesterday’s little mishap. I’m thinking Lean Cuisine meals and waffles for breakfast, stuff like that. I really want to feel great about today, and I know that as long as I don’t let my stomach get the best of me, I can totally do that.
