Wantoloseweight

Well its been about a week since I wrote a blog. Well I haven’t been doing so good, I feel hungry all the time which resulted in me cheating one too many times, I haven’t lost any weight or gained for that matter. Still going to the gym. It just bothers me that I am eating when I am supposed I get full but then not long after I feel hungry & am craving the fatty salty foods. I gave in & had two juice boxes &  m & m’s this past wknd my 1st time eating the bad sugary stuff in a long time about a mth… I also had popcorn & chips… Movie theatres are a bad place to go, lol. And my bf decided to order late night pizza, well after that binge I am happy I never gained weight, but my digestive system felt like crap… So its a new week & hopefully no  more giving in, my tummy takes a toll everytime I eat grease, fat, salt, sugar all the nasty stuff lol. I just don’t understand the hungry all the time part…. Ugghhhh

Well today I went to the gym, did my workout as usual. My trainer told me she was thinking of doing a body comp today so I told her sure, she said if I am losing weight at this rate I can try their weight loss challenge they have, if you win you have an option of a $1500 shopping spree, 52 free sessions or a trip to Mexico (oh ya), lol. Well anyways she did the body comp, she was speechless I had lost 12 lbs of body fat & gained 5.5 lbs of lean muscle in a week!!! She did my 1st body comp last tuesday, I had also weighed 227 I now weigh 219 (8 lbs in a wk!). That makes me soooo excited, who knew?? If I knew I would of did this a long time ago :D. Now to convince my signifcant other to give me the money so she can train me 3 times a week, with her I can probably lose way more. She also told me not many people can lose weight like this, last time was a guy who weighted more than me (obviously) & had more to lose, so yeah happy happy!

I am doing what she told me to do, she said not many people do… I eat a light breakfast  e.g yogurt, 1/2 a banana of one slice of multigrain toast a snack 2 to 3 hrs later lunch 2 to 3 hrs later a slightly bigger snack same time then supper lean meats only!! I drink only water or the occassional milk all day. I have had no pop or any kind of juice in 2 wks. I eat whole grain rice, pasta etc… about 1/2 a cup at supper, lotsa of fruits & veggies…. I am soo glad I did this, it is working!! Great week but sore its worth it :o)

Well today I talked to my trainer about my weight loss, I have lost 12 pds in 2 1/2 weeks!! I asked her if  that was too quickly she said the most possible on a detox diet & excerise is 3 pds a week, I have been losing it at a rate of 5 1/2 pds per wk & I only began working out since last Tuesday & been eating 3 meals a day plus snacking like she recommended, healthy food too boot!  Changed my eating habits on the 21st. She told me to keep a journal for the next week too see if if its just water weight or what, then she is gonna to a body comp…. I sure hope its fat loss, lol.  I have been eating right, cheating here & there but not by much & when I go to the gym I work my butt off, I am determined to lose this useless extra weight.

Well I am on day 3 of working out & eating healthier, its hasn’t been soo bad bsides the working out part I am so sore, but its worth it, my trasiner said the 1st week is the worst. I haven’t cheated I have been tempted many times but, won’t give in cause I know I’ll just regret it later, and its just sabatoging what I am am trying to accomplish.  Well before I had started goin to the gym I already changed my eating habits but not completely which resulted in an 8 pd lost in a week and a half I am not starving myself just ate fruit veggies & no dark meat & only ate white meat a few times, but I am now on a eat less more often, thats what my trainer told me to increase my metabolism, so am doin it.

Thought Id’ share this with everyone….

A real story by a Man who was standing in a queue at Wal-Mart………

 I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Iams in Wal-Mart and was
 standing in the queue at the till.
 A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
 On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Iams Diet again,
 although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last
 time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive
 care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both
 arms.
 I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way that it
 works is to load your trouser pockets with Iams nuggets and simply
 eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is
 nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
 I have to mention here that practically everyone in the queue was by
 now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.
 Horrified, she asked if I’d ended up in the hospital in that condition
 because I had been poisoned. I told her no, it was because I’d been
 sitting in the road licking my balls and a car hit me.
 I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so
 hard as he staggered out the door.

> Stupid cow……….why else would I buy dog food??

Hope it made you laugh! :o)

Well I would like to say is it is flippin expensive to eat healthy & the food goes bad within a week.

I don’t have a problem with eating the “good stuff” but I can’t really afford it.

What do you people think?

Well its day 2, hungry, I gave into a bag of chips. So good yet oh so bad. That’s okay, I almost went and bought a chicken burger & fries with gravy, but instead I opted for a salad & tuna sandwhich. Changing from the bad stuff to the good stuff is hard, I feel so hungry.  I have been taking the stairs all the time now, few times  I forget about it(usually in the a.m) but that is when my mind is distracted.  My financial situation is a way better than is was a few days ago. My bills & rent are paid up for both mths, I got groceries. I am feeling way more postive about everything. September was a bad month, I was getting depressed & eating unhealthy food. So now Oct. is definatley looking alot brighter even though  its getting darker. Lol.

Well when I got home yesterday, I got something in the mail that I was waiting for almost a month, I got my daycare paid, rent & whatever I could afford, I bought groceries (healthy 1’s). I bought minimal junk food. I only bought hot dogs & tator tots & ketchup, thats a big step, they are not for me though for my daughter when I don’t feel like cooking. I’ve decided not to continue on with the Cabbage soup diet, yes  I may get fast results but its only temporary solution to a bigger one, I need to change the way I eat, I bought fruits & veggies, white meats only, but I am not sure what types of meat are better than other’s so all I got was chicken breast, ground turkey & salmon & canned tuna. I have realized over the past month that I need to change my lifestyle, not because I am getting married & want to look good in a dress but to set an example for my daughter, I hope that she won’t have to struggle with her weight, eating healthy food will come naturally to her. I know that buying those things earlier don’t help, but its a start. My daughter is tiny, lol. A bonus my child loves her fruits & veggies. Most of the time she wil choose an apple over a bag of chips any day.

So today I change my food habits, I feel hungry, but in time it’ll pass. I take the stairs at school now, forget the elevator, its only for handicapped people & people who a good reason to take it. Also I notice my leg starting to get sore when I lean on it or take a step with it 1st, this also made me realize that maybe my weight is to blame for this. I am 23 I should not feel like I am 50!

I haven’ t been able to write anything for awhile now, haven’t dieted either. My internet got cut off & now I am running out of food, I can’t be picky on what I eat right now, all I got is not so good food (healthy). I have been patiently waiting for my student finance cheque to come in for a month now, things haven’t been great for my daughter & I. I hope that I get paid soon, even then I am not sure I can buy my healthy foods. I have to pay double of everything once I get paid, for Sept & Oct. So hopefully things get better by the end of the month, I really want to lose weight, but I also got to think of everything else 1st. I have been taking the stairs more often & eating less (got no choice on that matter, lol).

Well the past little while has been so stressful, with school, bills payments that yet need to happen. I am so glad I have the my man in my life without him willing to help me out, he just has to wait for his next pay cheque cause like me he has rent, groceries & bills to pay as well, otherwise I’d have no help with my bills that are piling up really fast since Sept. started. He’s the 1 person I can count on. The only thing is he is 4 hrs away from me working & plans to stay there for a year, I do not see myself with anyone else ever nor would  I ever consider cheating on him. I don’t want anyone like his family or friends thinking I am using him to pay my for my bills, I have always depended on myself so this a 1st for me. I told him I will pay him back as soon as my funding came in. We are also getting married, which is the main reason why  I want to lose weight ( I don’t want to be a chubby bride ;)). I keep thinking positive,that everything will be payed off in due time & lose some weight in the process, I have been walking way more, taking the stairs at at school ( mostly down though) better than not all I guess, taking the stairs at the train station instead of the escalator.  Thanks everyone for the enouraging comments!! Really appreciated! :o)
