It's just 10 lbs. Lose it with me!!!

I don't know what to say.. I'm back again. LOL

I suck at dieting.

However, I have made solid plans to lose these last 10 lbs. Really, how hard can 10 lbs be? It is just 10 lbs. I am going to think of bathing suits and swimming pools. I am going to think of tan legs in a cute skinny dress.


Just 10 lbs. And Cindy is doing it with me. She technically didn't agree to it today.. but I'm going to make her.

Anyone else want to lose 10 lbs? That is my only goal right now. Just 10 lbs. I'm not thinking of 15 and I'm not thinking of 5.

10 lbs ya'll .. just 10 lbs. Jessica Simpson did it in like a day. It's just 10 freaking lbs.

Let's DO IT!!!

..........

I'm back and at it again. I started yesterday. I'm still calorie counting, but I'm schedule eating.

10:00 - Breakfast
12:00 - Lunch
2:00 - Snack
4:00 - snack
8:00 - Dinner

I try and make each meal 200 calories or less so that when dinner time comes, I can have a normal meal.

Yesterday I ended up only eating 880 calories and I wasn't even hungry. I just kept enough food in my stomach to get me by.

Example
Yesterday I had...

Breakfast - Yogurt - 100 cals
Lunch - Salad 150 cals
Snack - popcorn 100 cals
snack - Pudding 60 cals
Dinner - Lean cuisine and a bagel - 470


Today
Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs - 140 cals
Lunch - Sandwich - 250 cals
snack - Yogurt - 100 cals
snack - popcorn - 100 cals
Dinner - hot dog, chips and salsa - 400 cals

Again

I am starving.

I'm going to have to start eating 6 light meals a day maybe. Today I've eaten chex wheat cereal with skim, leftover speghetti and some fat free cottage cheese with pineapple.

I'm still hungry :(

I'm going to eat with Cindy and some of her friends tonight. Sushi

Oh Man

I starved all day yesterday. Or at least it felt like it. I definitely ate 1300 calories (which is 100 more than I had planned) but I had to fight it.

I felt like a monster in the moonlight getting to turn. I wanted to chain myself to the couch so that I wouldn't go craving something late in the evening.

I finally fell asleep

My Favorites!!

These are my favorite things to eat while dieting.







The Pad Thai is about 350 calories served. I try and use a little less oil.

YES!!!!

I'm back down to the weight I was at when I got sick.





Total of 6 lbs weight loss since Jan. 13th.

Anxiety kicks ASS!

When you feel so nervous you don't want to eat

I just can't make up my mind

I quit weight watchers and I've decided to go it alone. I'm going to just count calories. I've done it before and was very successful, I lost 25 lbs about 5 years ago.

I'm going to eat 1200 calories a day and exercise as regular as possible.

Crazy

That I am! Yesterday I decided to quit my diet and I ate mcdonalds for breakfast, subway and a cupcake for lunch, and some stuff cindy made for dinner.

Today, I'm back in the sattle. I want to workout and I've actually done really well on my points today.

I hate food!

I used to love to cook, but now I fear that we are enemies. Me and the food have a love hate. I love to hate that I love chocolate brownies, carlos o kelleys (I haven't been there in years, but desperately want to go and pad thai. Pad thai is the shit and I never even liked it until this past year.

Gotta see this

cindy found this website. It's great!

I'm lazy

No really, I can't get my ass to the gym for nothing!

I like weight watchers because it starts new every week. I feel that Saturday, I can start fresh again!

This week I haven't followed the plan too much. I did eat fast food once and I've snacked a bit. Honestly though, I've not been eating too much so I feel good.


GET me to the GYM please!!!

Wikipedia is hilarious!

I went online today to google and research on gaining 5 lbs in a week. If it is incredibly unhealthy and why I might have gained that much weight. Most everything said it is water weight. However, Wikipedia had the MOST hilarious question and answer I've ever seen.


Question - How do you gain 5 lbs in 1 week


Answer

stuff your face with food



Man, Wikipedia has ALL the answers!

I AM the horse!!

Forget getting back on the horse, I am the horse. I gained back all of my weight :( ALL of it, in 1 week. 5 pound gain in 1 week.
I'm hoping it is due to my medicine and my water increase. I've been drinking A LOT. I'm not going to get too upset though. I'm still following my WW plan (even though I definitely went off of it for a week or so) and I'm going to keep up with my fluids, but try to keep it to a minimum of 8 glasses a day. I was averaging about 15.


UGH!!!! I was so disappointed Saturday when I got on the scale!

Get Back on the Horse

Cindy said that I'll be able to get back on the horse once I'm not sick anymore.

Cindy, this is going to be my horse...

Being sick is the Devil!

I woke up yesterday morning and I'm sick. I have a sore throat, headache, stuffy. The medicines I'm taking are causing munchies. Last night I was so tired that I didn't feel like cooking. So I ordered chinese food, AGAIN! (I ate chinese on Friday). I only ate 1/2 of my meal so I don't think I did horrible... but I'm not exercising. I have absolutely no energy to do anything. I'm stressed about weight gain! Let's just hope I maintain this week and I don't blow it and gain back 3 pounds of the 5 i've lost. I'll be sad.

5.5 pounds total weight loss

So far, I've lost 1/3 of the weigh I'm planning to lose.

Average loss is about 5 pounds per month.

May 16, I should be looking awesome!

Double DD's

and no, it isn't what your thinking!

Donut Day. Why do offices have to have donuts? Why can't we have fruit baskets or jam and toast?

Fat Free Pig Out

I want to share a list with you.. of all of the food I ate yesterday (and yet, somehow managed to stay around a normal range on my WW points)

Breakfast - Cereal, Fiber one bar
Snack - laughing cow cheese and crackers,
lunch - crackers and soup, pita and hummus
snack - 4 servings of fat free pringles and a sugar free jello chocolate pudding
Dinner - chicken sandwich and serving of my ww potato salad I made
snack - 2nd serving of potato salad
snack - another fiber one bar
snack - cheezits 100 calorie snack pack
2 glasses of milk

I took a tylenol pm, so I'm thinking it must have given me the munchies. To see this list of food cracks me up but kind of makes me sick to think of al that food!

Still hanging in there

I've been working out 3 - 4 times a week!

Slow and Steady

wins the race! Or so they say. I'm maintaining but not losing. 20 points a day is absolutely not possible for someone who is on the go as much as I am. Granted, I'm not running marathons or anything.. but I still walk about 2 miles a day and I've added cardio to my daily routine. I'm hovering around 25 - 30 points a day.

I'm thinking about skipping my weigh in on Saturday. If I haven't lost any weight, that will be 2 weeks that I've not lost any weight. (oh, btw last week I didn't lose any weight).

So right now.. I'm still at 3 points lost.

I've had some people tell me it looks like I'm losing weight.. I want to say, well where the hell is it

God it's rough

We had a work party that I had to set up and clean up. They had dinner rolls with lunch meat and cheese and mayo and mustard. There was also a veggie platter and a fruit platter and cookies.

1 dinner roll - 3 points
1 slice roast beef - 2 points
mustard - 0
kiwi and strawberry - 1 point
ranch dressing for my plain veggies - 3 points

I ate almost a half a days worth of points just by enjoing a bite to eat at a party. WTF!!!

I'm going to starve to death.. I'm scared. I'm very very scared. Everyday is a constant struggle. My boyfriend calls it.. "my fight against hunger" !

I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this!!!

1 week down

I weighed myself on Saturday and I lost 3 pounds.

It's been over a year... A NEW 2009!!!

I have a goal.. it's set in my mind. I want to lose 15 pounds for my birthday!!! I am going to do everything it takes to get down to the size I was about 2 years ago.

Current weight 148.5
Goal Weight 135

Can I do it? YES


I started weight watchers on Monday, Jan. 5th. They have given me a whopping.. 20 points to eat per day. The first day I could have swore I was in that movie ALIVE and I was tempted to eat my friends.. (j/k) but as the days go by it doesn't seem as hard.
I'm hoping writing on this blog will be helpful both to me and to my friends that are dieting as well. Wait, it's not called dieting.. for those of my friends who have taken a real .. "lifestyle change". LOL
Actually, I really have / am taking on a lifestyle change. I want to exercise and feel good with myself. I feel like I'm about 40 years old and I'm only 27.
I've heard that making new year resolutions are bad luck. I did it though.. my new year resolution is to 1. lose those GD 15 pounds before my birthday. May 16.. 2. start living a more active lifestyle.

Good luck to anyone else who might have started a new lifestyle change or given themselves a new year resolution. You can do it!
