i totally caved

so at work last night, I had my meals all planned out...

breakfast - coke zero - 0 cal

snack - rockstar pink - 10 cal

lunch - lean cuisine rosemary chicken - 180 cal

snack - fudge graham right bites - 100 cal

dinner - apple - 100 cal

Total - 390 cal

would've be awesome... until someone at work decided to bring in homemade chocolate chip cookies and set them out where I would have to see them all night.  at first I stayed strong.... but my hunger got the best of me, so I told myself, "just one cookie,  i mean its probably only 85 cal, one won't hurt"... well i ate one, and it was sooo flipping delicious, before I knew it I had had 5 cookies!!!  425 extra calories in like 2 minutes!  "wtf have i done?" i thought.  i ended the day with 815 total calories.... yuck!!  and working 12 hr shifts, I had no time to work it off.

good news tho, I didn't gain any weight... bad news, I didn't lose anymore either. :(  still 133 lbs .... i was really hoping for my 132.8 halfway weight today... maybe tomorrow?

tonight will be better... 

almost there

so i'm still losing weight!  133.0 lbs today!  yah!

my meals today consisted of the following:

Breakfast - coke zero - 0 cal

Snack - rockstar pink can - 10 cal

Lunch - progresso zesty southwestern veggie soup - 60 cal

          - cheez-it right bites - 100 cal

Snack - fudge graham right bites - 100 cal

Dinner - fuji apple - 100 cal

Grand Total - 370 cal!  def below my 500cal/day goal. :D

almost there...just 0.2 lbs to my halfway mark!

7lbs so far!

I weighed in at 133.6lbs today... that's a total loss of 7 lbs!   Its been easy to stay motivated with these results.  Hopefully I can loose 3.6 lbs by Mon the 30th.  That's when we leave for our cruise!  Although its going to be such a challenge to not regain weight on the cruise.  Food everywhere all the time!!  But they have a gym and I plan on working out everyday.  

Thanks to all my followers! Love ya!

another victory

134.2 lbs!  no way!

after 30 min on the treadmill with an avg speed of 5.0mph, and then an hour long body pump class, I was beat.  esp. with just 500cal/day.   but this mornings weigh in made all the aches and pain totally worth it!

i've lost 6.4 lbs since the beginning of the year.  at this rate i'll be to my gw 125 in no time, and possibly actually see my ugw.  i can do this.  just have to keep it up.  :D

Woo Hoo!

135.2 lbs today!   Another surprise weight.  I can't believe how well things are going this year.  This morning I had a meeting at work and they brought donuts, and I resisted!  While everyone else was indulging in sugary donuts I was gracefully sipping my water.  It felt amazing to have such will power.  And such a reward to look at the scale and see 135.2 lbs... totally worth skipping out on the donut.

sticking with it

so i've been sticking to things this time.  and ive been reaching my goals.  Monday morning weigh in = 136.0 lbs!  that's 1/2 lb extra.  Yah!  Just 11 more lbs to my GW.  I've made some new friends that e-mail me, and txt.  and it has been soo helpful.  thanks for all the motivation and support girls!  i <3 you all! 

Not Yet... Really?!

136.7 lbs...

136.7 lbs...

136.7 lbs...

Yes I stepped on the scale 3 times b/c I didn't expect to see this # until the weekend or later.  OMG!  Finally a nice victory.  Now only if I can keep if off and lose 0.3 lbs more by my Monday weigh in.  This means I am that much closer to my new running shoes!  I think I decided on these: 

 

I am also a member on my fitness pall and there was this girl who was the feature for the day.  She had lost over 50 lbs in a year through diet and exercise.  She has a rockin body now... with a 4 pack!  Super jealous.  I hope I make it there some day.  Just gotta keep at it.  Stick with it for these 12 weeks.  After that it should just become habit, and it won't be as hard anymore... at least I hope that's how it works! :D

New Beginnings?!

So blah... here I go again... It's the beginning of the year, and I've got some resolutions... maybe this time I can stick to 'em!

Resolution

#1 - No more regular soft drinks.  *giving up my favorite dr. pepper! :-( i really don't need the extra sugar!

#2 - Go to the gym at least 2x a week.  *i have never been a work out person, so this is new!

#3 - Restrict caloric intake to 1000 on days I work out, and to 500 on my days off from the gym.

Three simple resolutions... right?!

Here's to hoping that 2012 brings my UGW to the scale! :D

So I've been doing well so far.  I've started the Couch to 5K training, (C25K) and it is going pretty well, of course I just finished week 1, so I am sure by this week or week 3 it'll be kicking my @$$! This is a 3x week program, so  this will actually surpass my resolution... if I can keep to it.

So I am hoping to loss about 2 lbs per week.  *fingers crossed & fork down*

My SW at the beginning on 2012 was 140.6 lbs.  And today 1 week later I am at 138.5 lbs, so I am right on target!  Thats 2.1lbs lost! Woo hoo.

Hope everyone else keeps to their resolutions and loses TONS of weight this year!  I'll leave you with some thinspo!

This girl started out at about my weight, but I am thinking she has to be taller than 5'6.5" b/c my tummy is a little bigger than hers!   Hopefully I can lose 15lbs in 5 weeks too!!! I did take some before pictures, I hope I get to post them this time.

So here's to 12 weeks!  That would be nearly 25lbs, if I lose 2lbs/wk!  Sweet!  Just have to keep going!

My belly isn't quite that big... but I weight the same on the after and I am taller, and somehow, my belly is a lil bigger than that.  Still amazing results! Would settle for the looks of the after tummy!

Whoa... 57lbs!!  in 6 months... Amazing...  I find before and after photos sooo inspiring.  I hope to be one the next famous before &  after thinspo pics that ppl post on their blogs someday! :D

Good Intentions

I always start out with good intentions.  I just can't seem to keep to any plan.  It sucks. :(    So now I am at 141 lbs.   Grrrr.   Happy F-ing Holidays to me!  Christmas is right around the corner and the New Years, and its just food everywhere.  WTF.  How am I suppose to get skinny when everyone and the mother is baking sweetfilled fatness?!  Oh the madness.   

My cruise is in 42 days!  And my birthday in 43 days!  I really need to loose as much weight as possible by then.  I have 2 weeks until the New Year.  I am going to make today (b/c we have a family thing to go to) Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Years Eve free days.  The rest of the days, I have to fast or eat less than 500 cal.  I just have to.  I really need some support!  You can e-mail me at thinspirationloner@live.com  and maybe we can become e-mail buddys.  

Has anyone tried the Jillian Michaels recipe for losing 5 lbs in 7 days?!  I think I am going to start tomorrow.  But I only have 5 days. Mon thru Friday.  Anyone with?

135 lbs!

So I am down to 135 lbs!  Woo hoo.   The fasting adventure didn't go very well, I think I lasted all of 26 hrs, and then had to eat something... pretty sure I had low blood sugar or something, I felt completely weak, with nausea, kind of felt like I was dying.  So I ate something.   Anyways, I started a diet plan that I am going to follow for this week, and see how things go.  Sunday went well, and I have good hopes for tonight.
