WEEKLY WEIGHT UPDATE

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday!!!!

Last Saturday I weighed in at 268.0 lbs
Today I am 258.0 lbs

Classes have begun for me, which means planning my meals in advance, working out regularly and playing a much better health/scholastic balancing act than I did last semester.

My Goal is to be at 249 by February 7th...Thats about a 9lbs weight loss.

Next weeks goal is to be 256 lbs

PHASE 1 DAY 3 CHALLENGE

HULLOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY TUESDAY!!!!
 
Today has been great, although I was rushing and barely made it to work, I still had time to grab and apple and a serving of peanut butter.
 
Lunch was brown rice and chicken tenderloins
 
Post/Lunch Snack will be a sweet potato
 
 
Dinner will be tuna, scrambled eggs, and chobani greek yogurt
 
 
I plan to go boxing today
 
Water intake is at 6 cups so far
 
 
NON SCALE VICTORY: A COWORKER WAS EATING SOME DELICIOUS AND BUTTER AND FATTY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP FROM A RESTAURANT WITH SOME BREAD ANED COOKIES. SHE OFFERED ME ME SOME....
 
AND I SAID NO...AND WENT TO GET MY LUNCH...
 
Learning to say NO to food is a process indeed, and I believe once I get it all figured out it will become second nature....
 
Right now I feel content, comfortable and happy!!!

MONDAY AM CHECK IN- PHASE 1 DAY 2

Good Morning and Happy Monday!!!!

I am feeling powerful today, confident and incredibly happy.

Today marks Phase 1 day 2 of my 21 day behavioral modification program in regards to clean eating and exercise.

I joined gym pact about a week ago, which is an app/online program where you pledge to exercise a certain amount of times a week, and put up money for each day missed.

This week I pledged to exercise 4x, and will be penalized $10 for each day missed. I plan on going boxing tonight, and continuing my healthy eating.

I woke up very late (not a morning person), running out for work so breakfast was an apple and peanut butter. Lunch is the same as yesterday sans the quinoa and a double portion of beans, dinner will be yogurt and chicken tenderloins, and my night snack will be 1/4 cup of oatmeal.

I am already on goal with my water at 4 cups of water so far, going for between 10-12 cups of water today.

The scale was incredibly friendly to me this morning, but I won't tell you all what I weigh untill next monday :)....but just a reminder...I woke up yesterday morning weighing in at 268 (WOWZERS).


Eating clean and exercising is no easy feat, but waking up the next morning and realizing that you made it through yesterday makes it worth it.

I hope everybody's day is succesful. EAT CLEAN, BE POSITIVE, BE HAPPY, BE IN CONTROL!!!

FAT FAT FAT

PM CHECK IN

I know that I have a long way to go...and I have fallen too many times to count...but by golly I really feel as though today is the first day of consistent weight loss and progress....

I actually ended up eating my lunch for dinner because I fell asleep and didn't wake up till 2:30, it was 50 degrees in Boston Today and I knew I would have been a fool if I didn't go for a jog. I haven't gone jogging in a while and it has always yielded the fastest weight loss results for me.


Jogging was incredibly difficult for me...haven't gone running in almost a month, but I still managed to burn 1,150 calories in a 5.5 mile run per my hrm monitor

My Dinner/Lunch today was delicious and was between 470-500 calories (give or take). I will listen to my body to see if I will eat again, and if I do it will be very very light...an apple and 2 chicken tenderloins.



My sentiments: I FEEL IN CONTROL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME....I FEEL FULL, I FEEL HOPEFUL...I FEEL STRONG!!!

I WOKE UP TODAY AFTER STRAIGHT BINGING AT 268 LBS...I SAT DOWN AND CRIED. I FELT DEPRESSED, I FELT LIKE A FAILURE....BUT I GOT UP...AND IM READY TO TAKE CHARGE...

TODAY HAS BEEN EMPOWERING...THIS BLOG EMPOWERS ME, STRIVING FOR SELF-CONTROL EMPOWERS ME, WANTING TO BE HEALTHY AND FIT EMPOWERS ME, WANTING TO FIT INTO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES EMPOWERS ME!!!!!!!

THE DOCTRINES OF CONTROL

As all of those who read my blog know, moving to Boston has been a death sentence on my weight loss progress and seems to have unraveled all my goals. But this morning I woke up after a night of binging, drinking and more binging and realized that its time to STOP blaming the move and start looking within.

I realized that I am a slave to something....I am a slave to food and complacency...I am enslaved by routine and boredom, and the only way to free myself is to look at myself and start to make drastic changes.

WHAT CONTROLS YOU?

For me its Food, its getting too comfortable, it's forgetting how Hard I worked to lose weight from 330 lbs.

How quick I am to forget.

So WHAT WILL HELP ME REGAIN CONTROL?

I have decided that I will start blogging about my hunger experiences on this blog.

I will start actively listening to my body.

I will control FOOD, I will LEARN TO SAY NO WHEN OFFERED SAID FOOD, I will gain discipline.

I have told my friends this all this time; WEIGHT LOSS IS HARD, IF ONE CAN MASTER THE DISCIPLINE TO EXERCISE, EAT CLEAN, AND ACHIEVE INNER PEACE, ONE CAN MASTER IT ALL.

I FEEL BLOATED, NONE OF MY BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES FIT, I FEEL ANGRY, I SEE MY PROGRESS UNRAVELING AT A TERRIFYING PACE (I CAN'T SEE MY COLLAR BONES ANY MORE).

THERE IS NO MORE TIME FOR OPTIMISM...THERE IS ONLY TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY AND ACTION.

THEY SAY IT TAKES 21 DAYS TO BREAK A HABIT....TODAY I WILL BREAK MY 21 DAYS INTO 3 PHASES...

THIS IS PHASE 1-DAY 1-

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
