My first day back at the gym, IM PUMPED. :D

And if I accidentally shout‘fuck you’ don’t take it personally. I just hate you.



I started the beginner course today on the wii,

It was just a 20 minute work-out but I actually felt like it was doing something and that it could be something I could very well keep up if I get up early enough on a morning before I go to my boyfriends house.

It kind of works your brain as well as your body which is good, having to think about what you are doing etc. but I really enjoyed it :)

Now I dont really have weight to lose per say… but I do need to tone and I do think that this will work!

Super happy :)



Good morning Monday! Yesterday it was too hard to plan my meals because I was eating with family and didn’t know what I was going to eat or when or how much. But today I am back on track and planning all of my meals and snacks. 

I’m kicking off the week like I usually do, with an egg-white omelette and some good coffee. I seem to need something sweet at the end of each meal so I’m trying to always have strawberries on hand  and have one of those instead of something naughty! 

My Omelette: 

  • 1/3 c egg white
  • 1/4 c tomato
  • 1/4 c chopped bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped onion 
  • 1/8 c kidney beans
  • 1/4 c fat-free cottage cheese
  • ketchup
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • salt + pepper

So satisfying, and under 200 kcals! Sometimes I add a slice of vegetarian bacon chopped up. 

Well. Fell of the wagon again. When did weightloss get this hard? I don’t remember it being this hard. My downfall this time? Homemade birthday cake and beer. And two free work dinners with set menus in one week. 

My problem is. If it’s there, I can’t stop myself. I properly can’t. It’s compulsive. If there is food/drink on the table in front of me I get occupied by a latent spirit that shoves the unhealthy goodness into my open and waiting mouth. 

But, I started this fine Monday morning with a big bowl of porridge and a banana and i’m feeling good. I moved house this weekend (again, sigh) and I think the new conditions are good for weightloss. For the last month I was living with my best friend in a very “share and share alike” situation. She’d make dinner and leave me some. She’d buy some sweets and offer me some and tell me to help myself. I’d come home and she’d have a huge, delicious meal waiting for me. And it was all so lovely but not good for weightloss. The new apartment is with strangers, Italians, and I doubt very much it’s going to be the same help yourself vibe (at least I hope not). So hopefully this will be good for my language skills and my body. 


Oh, by the way, I didn’t move houses for weight loss (in case it seemed that way). Her father is working in America for the summer and her mum was over there with him, so I was keeping her company in the empty house. But, her mum doesn’t like the place so she’s coming back early. No more chill time with the best friend and no more free rent = sad face. 

Hope you’re all doing well. I assure you even though i’m not posting as much I am trying my best to keep up with all your blogs.

If I want to get out of it completely (meaning, if I want to leave the gym), I have to write a letter stating so and hand it in at the beginning of July. 

All things considered, I go to a really good gym—but I think it’s time I check out some new ones. 

This week, I will go gym-hopping! Ha! 

Basically, I will check out some gyms in my town, maybe a couple in the next town over (where my aunt lives) and see what’s up. 

I’ve heard of some really good gyms with better rates than the one I go to (it costs me about $50 a month and I’ve heard of a few other good ones that cost about half of that) and since my college’s fees sort of went up this year, I think I am gonna have to go check out some new gyms regardless of if I want to or not (which I sort of want to, anyway). 

In the end, a gym is a gym, so… Guess we’ll see how that goes! 

Wish me luck in my search! :) 

I loved my vacation but in the end it was really hard to keep all my healthy habits up. We ate out more, etc.

And I weighed in today I was 93,1kg. 2 kilos gained.. :D

BUT! I swear I look skinnier than 3 weeks ago, even though the gain! :)

And now I can back to my healthy life again. Plus working out!! Though I hurt my ankle in the plane yesterday so I have to take it easy for a while.

Anyways I’m back.

thats right i have booyah :) very happy - still got a long way to go but definately getting there!

Cravings for food

whilst in too much pain to work out :’(

Who would have ever thought 8 days would be so hard?! I took yesterday off from 30DS and came back to level 2 today. OMFG—That bitch is crazy. I was yelling all sorts of curse words at the tv this morning. Poor neighbors. lol Ok so I couldn’t do like any of the moves. Its different from level 2 because she doesn’t actually show you what your doing first…you just do it. It took me a few reps to actually grasp the motion of the move. I HATE the fact that most of the strength is combined with cardio! As a result I found myself stopping and panting and not even making the full range of movement. Thats what I get for not starting out with a cup of coffee right? Oh and I HATE HATE HATE HATE lunges and plank. I always change the moves to a squat or bicycle crunches and this whole level is based around plank. 

I ended up cheating yesterday. I had left over mexican which I don’t think was too terrible. It was an enchilada filled with re-fried beans and beef. lettuce on top and a dab of sour cream. The kicker was dustin brought home an entire box of mrs. fields cookies…and i ate 3 of the damn things. like 18g of carbs and 200 cal a piece! We had a veggie kashi pizza and a big garden salad for dinner…I ate too much of that pizza but it only ended up being about 40 carbs total with the salad. I’m under on carbs but over on calories.I was just SO hungry yesterday…idk why??

I MUST get back into the game today! I put the cookies in his car lol I wont be tempted if I don’t see them. I’m trying to decide what to pack for lunch, gotta stop and get more lettuce again. I was considering a sandwich with a veggie platter—no dressing—like cucumbers, green peppers, and some carrots. Tonight will probably be left over chicken and asparagus with steamed cauliflower and carrots (its a steam fresh bag). Ive noticed that were tag teaming dinner now…He does the meat and I do the veggies, at least until he learns what I’m suppose to eat proportion wise.

Still no major side effects from spiro, other then my IBS is flaring up but honestly thats because of my stress level. When I’m REALLY stressed it gets awful…so I’m trying to chill out. I’m doing homework all this week…and exercising. This weekend I can relax a little—4th of July weekend and all. I get the 4th off paid so I think I’m gonna save that day off paid for the beach…I can always use extra cash. lol

Well thats it for today. Happy Monday and exercising to all my tumblrs.

Ps. the only way I can figure out how to enable comments is a question…so there?



My first day back at the gym, IM PUMPED. :D

things i did tonight...

I’m glad I balanced out being over calories earlier in the week, cuz I’m about 250 calories over today!!! I think I’m about to do a random work out, to try to make myself feel better about it. 

I ate a plate and a half of sushi, and you’d be surprised how much calories are in those little bastards!! I guess it’s all the rice, but jeez. I didn’t realize until after I had already smashed it, so the damage was already done =( !

But afterwards we also went to Baskin Robbins. I could have been a fat girl and gotten ice cream, but I got low fat frozen yogurt which was just as yummy and didn’t even think of seconds or anything.

Also, I think me changing my habits could also motivate my parents to get off their asses too! My mom is pre-obese and my stepdad has diabetes. We had a talk about how I’ve lost the weight and they’ve decided to give it a shot. Good luck to them!

So all in all it’s been a pretty good day. It’ll be better after my work out! Wish me luck. My butt muscles are crying right now from those squats. Hopefully my butt’ll get bigger with muscle when I keep on it ;D



Jealous.

lost exactly 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks. so happy. need to continue this.

Finally have a scale back, so I’ll be able to keep track more consistently.

Didn’t eat too well today though. I’m embarrassed to tell you guys what it was, but I’ll admit I was craving pizza and chocolate :/ Work was stressful today so I came home and pigged out even more. I need to learn to control myself. 

But tomorrow is a new day and hopefully I can make up for it by eating perfectly. I’m scared I’m starting to lose my motivation already. I need help keeping my willpower! 

My Plan:

  • Wake up, drink a full bottle of water, then eat egg whites, a veggie sausage and a piece of wheat toast. 
  • Go for a run, no matter what the weather. Come home, do a Nike Work Out on my phone.
  • Possibly hang out with this kid from work. ;) Hehe. If not and it’s nice out, BEACH all the way. 
  • Eat a late lunch: Chobani with Kashi Cereal, Berries and Cinnamon.
  • Keep busy until work to avoid a binge!
  • Work 6:30-10:30. Most likely WON’T go out after. Hopefully we don’t break tomorrow night so I don’t feel forced to eat, but if we do I hope we get ice cream instead of ordering food so I can just get frozen yogurt.

Jealous of all my friends seeing Taylor Swift tomorrow though :( WAH.



This was taken at a time when I was most comfortable with myself.

My face was slim, I had no back boobs, toned arms and very little stomach overhang.

I’ll be happy to be back at this by September.



She’s so fucking perfect. She is my inspiration for my body.

which choice will you make?



 I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I once knew what it was like to be 140 pounds & I have seen the scale reach 310 pounds But i know in my heart i cannot stop my journey. I know I am beautiful but when i look in the mirror my mind says “why? Why did you let yourself go?” But i am picking myself back up & finishing this journey. Im ready to be healthy & happier than ever!

karaokee’d the following songs:

1. shoop by salt n pepa.

2. drop it like it’s hot by snoop dogg. and yes, i rapped the entire. substituting the bad “n” word for NINJA. caught some flack for it at first, but eventually had the entire bar goin with it.

3. “hold on” by wilson phillips because it’s the best song in the entire world and if you don’t like it then we probably aren’t friends or if we are then we probably shouldn’t be if you don’t like wilson phillips.

also, i got drinks bought for me because some guy told me i was the “meanest” girl at the bar because i wouldn’t flirt with him. when i did he still told people i was mean but then switched it to “feisty” which I can appreciate because I know I am.

Check out this sweat! Seven miles at 80 degrees does icky...

wow, I over-did it. I don’t even remember the last time I haven’t ran or lifted or both on the same day. At the moment my body is just like “DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT” and felt like a heart attack when I tried to run. I still have to lift later because I haven’t in a day or two, so yeah :l. Hopefully I don’t die lol.

Progress for the last while..it’s small but keep in mind I’m still a fatass. Gonna keep running in the 2.7 mile area because it’s almost a 5k and it’s still challenging but not too hard either. Afternoon is too hard because of the miserable sun, gonna try to wake up earlier or just do it when the sun is down at 8 :l.

I’m done.

I have lost 86 lb i feel so much beter cant wate tell i am down to my gaol weight of 150 i am at 224 now



I officially fit into a medium.

Which means no more XL for me. Some larges probably but definitely no more XL.

I’m back in a better mood now about losing weight. I guess 2lbs every 2 months is better than no lbs lost.



Check out this sweat! Seven miles at 80 degrees does icky looking things to your body. Yeah it’s gross, but it also means that I didn’t half-ass that run. :)

(If you can’t tell, the entire shirt is COVERED. The only part that isn’t is the little area in my back where my bra absorbed the sweat. Yeah I’m proud, lol.)

lost another pound!

All right, I’m going to try this daily intake thing. I used to calorie count, but that was when I was sticking to around 1200 calories a day, with exercise, and I got nowhere. So I’m going to count calories without a limit, but obviously try and eat as few as possible. Ugh, even the word ‘calories’ is starting to sound likeGluttonous Yellow FAT…

This is what Girls Generation (famous Korean girl band) eats while on a diet.

Crazy stuff, and I’m pretty sure they’re not getting enough nutrients… But their willpower is definitely motivating.

The Couch-to-5K Running Plan:

This is a good method to jogging/walking. Start off slow, and work your way to the top!!

I know some of these pictures are edited horribly but looking at these made me even more motivated. As much as it hurts to look at recent pictures I needed to. I need a visual reminder of who I use to be. I need to see that I could get healthy again. I wish I had pictures from my lightest weight but I don’t have a scanner. Well any ways her are some of my favorite pictures of me and some of my least favorite.


summer before college


10th grade


senior year I just like my arm


me now ( oct. 2010)

These aren’t the best pictures but I think the show how drastically my weight changed.

And im going out tonight, there will be rum, copious amounts of it, and will probably lead to some kind of fat and carb based snack at the end of the night.

CANT WAIT!

I then have a fathers day bbq thing on sunday, so ive pretty much written this week off. Am not using this as an excuse to binge, but i dont expect any weight loss at all this week. Ive still had a very healthy breakfast and have salad for lunch. But, you know. weight doesnt come off when rum is involved does it??!?!?!?

Anyway - we have just got these work t shirts because we are running an event on saturday. My boss couldnt believe i was a size 14, which i am. because that was the size she was wearing. I tried it on, and it looked fine, but she insisted i took a 16 which is baggy as hell. Annoying.I suspect that has more to do with the fact that she thinks shes thinner than me, and actually she isnt. Conclusion: Women are bitches.

Im still really confused about mr saturday night as well. Hes talking to me via facebook, lots of flirty conversations, but if i text him, i get no reply, WTF is that all about? I do not understand men at all. I was hoping to see him this weekend, but noting has been said ( despite when i said, lets just leave it, he said no and he did want to see me and stop being silly…) So - ive just made other plans instead, because im not going to sit in waiting for him.

I’m done with my little mope over my ex (why, I DO NOT know) and my few fat days are nearing their end.

The decision I have come to is…to get back on plan and stay there…

…from tomorrow of course, tonight is my first night off in ages so I’m going to enjoy it!

:D

They’re actually my step sister’s friends which means that she’ll be busy/they won’t care so I can have a mini period of NO EATING!!! :DD AT ALL!!! A mini fast. Then I’ll get back and try to trick mum again… :S 

but this time I’m happy about it because I’m finally making progress again instead of bouncing from 199 to 198

197 baby!
