I'm a bit all over the place today. Let's start with the good: on Saturday I ran a 9.5 minute mile!! It was pretty awesome, I didn't know I could run that fast for so long. And I kept up that page and ran 5K in 31 minutes. So I was happy about that. I'm also entering in the Chase Corporate Challenge and I'm excited to compete and see how my time is ( Read more... ) -
Happy Day
I am in such a good mood today. Let's start with the good news first: I made it to 145!! FINALLY. I've waited to see that number for way too long. It was a 147 on Saturday but I've seen that number before and I've never seen 145. So that feels good. I just feel so much closer to the 130s and feel confident in a week or two I'll pull it off. Also ( Read more... ) -
Bad Week
So this has not been a good week. It started off good, I'm currently in 1st place for the competition with a weight loss of 6%. But I've been having serious cravings and gave in a few times this week: two times for pizza and one for a corn muffin and one day I ate a lot of cereal and peanut butter over my calorie limits. I've still been exercising ( Read more... ) -
Restart
So I have decided to finally lose all this weight once again. This time for real: I entered a weight loss challenge at the local gym. If I have the highest percentage of weight loss, I win $1000 plus a full year gym membership. Competition motivates me as well as being a team and having a team depend on me so this is going to help me a ton. Besides ( Read more... ) -
The Last Day
So I've fallen off the wagon a bit with college and such but I'm ready to finally drop these pounds and lose weight for good. I have July free except for work so my plan starting tomorrow, Monday, June 29th is to begin my diet and exercise regime and concentrate mostly on that. My goal is to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. Technically I have til the end ( Read more... ) -

Sorry I've been away for so long. Was trying to simplify my life a bit and I've been really busy. I went to Montreal for a few days and had an amazing time. I tried to keep my calories down and lost a pound when I got back. And after sticking to 154 for a week, today the scale dropped down to 151!!! I'm stunned. Only two more pounds til I get down ( Read more... ) -
Scale Victory!!! \o/
I got down to 161 this morning!!! :D I am so, so happy. I really needed to get past 162.5 just to prove to myself that I could do it and that all my work will pay off. Yesterday I had a perfect day, kept my calories low while feeling full, ate vegetables, fruit, lean protein and low fat dairy and pushed myself to exercise hard for an hour. I ( Read more... ) -
Up and Down
Well the last few days haven't been the best for me. I got really down about being stuck on 162.5 for a week and ate too much ice cream, candy and cookies in the last few days. It doesn't help that my brother had a recital and brought home LOTS of delicious cookies and cheese that I gave in and ate a lot of. I haven't been exercising that much ( Read more... ) -
Scales, weight, dates and goals
So I'm back at 162.5 again. It's been three weeks and in this third week, I've only lost .5 lbs which is really frustrating. Even with strength training, walk/running and eating well to still not be making 1-2 pound progress is disheartening. I'm not going to quit, I promised myself that. But I've changed my expectations. I don't have a specific ( Read more... ) -
The last few days
Okay so I'm up from 162.5 today to 164 BUT yesterday I had an amazing day so I'm not worried. I ate right with no treats, lots of protein, 1244 calories and I was perfectly content. Plus I did strength training for the first time in a week along with cardio as I used Jillian Michael's workout DVD and THEN later had enough energy to on an hour walk ( Read more... )
