4月9日 Week 14I haven't written in this blog for a while. Not because I wasn't working on losing weight but simply because I've been going through a lot emotionally and this was the least of my worries. I will say one thing for a breakup; it certainly kick starts weight loss.
I am currently ahead of my goal to lose a pound a week in 2009. Hopefully I can keep this up so that I will have created a sufficient buffer for the end of the year that it all balances out. My goal is to be 149 at the end of 2009.
Starting Weight = 201
Current Weight = 184 1月9日 Week 2 BeginsI'm about a day late on this progress report. Not too bad. *yawn*
I followed the eating portion of the Body for Life program pretty well. I did probably stretch what was acceptable a bit to get rid of food I had on hand. I didn't want to waste leftovers from my free day so I spread the proteins out over a couple of days.
As far as the exercise part, I did good except for the day I skipped my aerobic workout entirely. I am sore in about half my muscles from the weights I've lifted and miles I've walked/jogged.
This weekend might be hard as Melissa and I go to Laughlin for a couple of days. Monday will definitely be my free day so I don't have to worry about it, but I'll try to stick as close to the program as possible on Sunday and Tuesday while traveling.
Results:
Start = 201
Week 1 = 200 1月8日 Week 1 - Exercise Week One is rapidly drawing to a close and I wanted to do a separate entry for exercise so it didn't get lost in whatever happens with my weight when I step on the scale in the morning. I have done well with my exercise this week. I have followed the weight regime almost perfectly (minus one set of squats when I felt like my knee was going to dislocate itself and run away in anger). One thing I definitely need to improve on is my aerobics routine. I did tennis for 90 minutes the first day, hiking for 90 minutes the 2nd and skipped the 3rd entirely. The aerobics I did do is normally fine, but for the program I am on I should be doing a shorter and more intense aerobic workout. I plan to start a better aerobic routine in the morning with my roommate. Our plan is to get up at 7:00 and do a 30 minute routine of walking/jogging around the neighborhood. I hope I actually get up. I have been having the hardest time getting up to do a workout and have to settle for doing one after work. 1月2日 Details for BfLTime for the details as to my goals and rewards for sticking with BfL for 12 weeks.

Body for Life - start Melissa has asked me to do Body for Life with her starting on January 1st, 2009. It is both a guide for working out as well as what to eat and is a 12 week program. I've gotten off to kind of a rocky start, I'm not going to lie. First, I weighed in at 201. Not a happy start to the day. Blah. I also did not do the recommended aerobic workout, but I did play tennis for a couple of hours with friends. I use the term 'play' very loosely, but we were moving around quite a bit. I also ate 3 1/2 meals today out of the 6 I am suppose to eat. I'm just so tired that I didn't want to eat another meal so close to bedtime and it's hard to cram 6 in when you get out of bed at 11:30am. The gist of the program is to eat 6 small meals per day, drink 10 glasses of water, and workout. The workout is either aerobic or weights on alternating days. I also have one 'free' day a week when I can eat anything I want to for 24 hours. Starting weight (Jan 1) = 201 3月6日 Weeks 8 & 9 I am officially not doing well in regards to watching my weight. I managed to hold steady for Week 8 at 186, but went up to pounds when I weighed in this morning for 188. I'm not quite up to where I started, but it's a very small gap. I have kind of lost my motivation and need to find it again. The "oh whatever, nothing is going to change anyway" mentality has crept back in and is kicking my butt. The sad thing is that I want to be healthy and don't even enjoy half of the junky foods I end up eating. I either feel like it would be impolite to decline or convince myself it's something I need and eat it anyway. Time to see if I can turn this around and get myself back on track. 2月22日 Weeks 5-7So I seem to have gotten a bit behind with my Weight Loss Journal. Amusingly, I am now back to 186 after a brief journey down to 184. I lost 1 pound during week 5, bringing me down to 185, and 1 during week 6 for a low of 184. Then Valentine's Day happened with a weekend away to Las Vegas to celebrate my two-year anniversay with, among other things, an indulgence in the amazing restaurants there.
I am having a bit of a problem going back to writing down everything I eat so I think I'm going to take a break this week from that and try to keep a mental tally instead.
If the scale goes up again on Wednesday, I will go back to my food log. What I really need to do is get back to the gym. I'm trying to find time to play with my photography a bit more so it'll be a balancing act with that for a while as I need to work on it while I have the interest. Otherwise I lose focus and put aside for months at a time. Stupid ADD.
Anyway, to sum up:
Week 4 = 186
Week 5 = 185
Week 6 = 184
Week 7 = 186
My weigh-in on Wednesday marks two months of trying to lose weight. It'll be interesting to see what type of progress I've made over that much time so I can gage what to expect by the end of the year. 2月3日 Week 4 Success! I lost 2 lbs. this week to bring me down to 186. This is the halfway point through Melissa and I's challenge and right now I'm averaging a pound a week loss. Not great, but not horrible either. I think she's still kicking my butt; however, the important thing is that the number is going down and not up like it has for the past 12 months. I have started taking Hydroxycut, so hopefully that will help speed along the weight loss. Now if I could just get it to stop raining on Sunday mornings so we could get our hikes in I would be a happy camper. 1月30日 Week Three I realize that I'm super late talking about Week 3 but it was a total wash so there's nothing to report. I didn't lose anything, didn't gain anything. Still at 188 for the 3rd week in a row. I reach the halfway point with tomorrow's weigh in. Week 4 of an 8 week challenge. So far Melissa is kicking my ass. Go Mel! I'm going to start using Hydroxycut tomorrow to hopefully kick start my metabolism. I'm going to do a test run with it for a week and see if it makes any difference on the scale. I barely skimmed in at my points for week 3, but I've done much better this week so hopefully that will translate to a loss. Bleh, time to stretch and get to bed so I can see how I did. 1月17日 Week TwoI have made it through two weeks. This always seems to be the kiss of death week for people on The Biggest Loser and I was no exception. I did not lose any weight this week. I think this is in part to the large dinner I had on Tuesday night. I stayed within my points, but I think it was still with me when I stepped on the scale the following morning.
The reason I think this is true is the fact that I couldn't stop myself from weighing myself again this morning and I had lost 2 pounds. It doesn't count, of course, but it did give me a boost in thinking that I'm doing everything all right for now. From now on Tuesdays will be a careful eating day for me. I'll save the splurges for the weekends.
Numbers wise I am still at 188 so I am averaging a 1 lb weight loss a week. Hopefully I can bump that up to a 2 lb average as I get used to this new routine. 1月11日 Week One First off, let me just say how annoying work has been because it's so busy I haven't had time to update this thing. I actually meant to last night but between working out, Project Runway, and a quick trip to see Melissa I ran out of time. Sometimes only having 24 hours in a day is too few. I officially lost 2 lbs. when I weighed in on Wednesday morning. That brings my current weight down to 188. Hopefully this will be my final farewell to the the 190s. Do not want to see them again. All in all Week Zero was a success. I worked out at the gym 3 days and did 20 minutes of Yoga an additional day. I also followed Weight Watchers diet perfectly. I hope to make it to the gym 3 days this week as well as getting a bit of hiking in over the weekend if it doesn't rain on us again. I'm very happy with my progress so far. The diet part is actually easier than I expected so far. The tricky part is getting my butt to the gym. Stay tuned... 1月9日 Nervous I am nervous about the weigh in tomorrow morning. The first week always has such high expectations placed on it. I'll be happy with any loss, but staying the same or even gaining would be horrible. That's the type of thing with the potential to make you wonder if the sacrifices are going to work, if they're worth it. I had to mentally yell at myself not to pull the scale out Monday morning and see how I was doing so far. I've told my mom a million times that checking more than once a week often leads to disappointment. Either because you haven't lost anything so far or because you weighed less at mid-week than you did on your actual weigh-in and you're left wondering what in the hell you did in between. I think it will be a relief to see the number tomorrow. A marker saying that I survived one week and it wasn't bad. That this is a doable lifestyle change. Argh, time to try and sleep so it gets here quicker and I can get it over with. 1月4日 Day ThreeI am on day three of the contest with Melissa. She actually remembered to weigh herself yesterday so now we are set to compare in 8 weeks when this contest draws to a close.
I will be weighing myself every week, but in 4 weeks I'm going to force Mel back on the scale so we can see where we both are and adjust accordingly. I'm hoping to win the contest. I am not the most competitive person in the world, but it's a good motivation and a reason to enourage each other to eat better than normal.
I figure it took me a year to put on this weight so I'll give it a year to come back off.
I also realize that I need shorter term goals than that or I'm going to feel like I'm not accomplishing anything.
Goals:
5% weight loss (180) by 2/27.
10% weight loss (171) by 4/23.
To fit in my size 12 jeans by my birthday (6/8). 1月2日 Week ZeroMy starting weight is 190.
I'm actually quite happy with the fact that it didn't go up over the holidays. I'm sure that's in large part to the stomach flu I got while I was home for Christmas, but I'll take it.
It's hard to believe I let myself go from when I was down to 145-ish. I was so close to a size 8 back then and now I'm barely still a 14. I am still 20 pounds lighter than my all time heaviest but it's a shallow consolation.
The past is the past though. All you can do is go forward and that's what I plan to do.
I plan to go to the gym tonight and Friday. Walking for 30 minutes during lunch is always an option too. I really need to get moving again. That, if nothing else, makes me feel better. Less stiff, less headaches, less lazy. All good things. |
