Woke up at 8:30 and did about a 2mile run/walk HIIT loop. Yeah, I was drenched in sweat but I feel amazing.
I feel like I have been pretty lazy so far this summer, and its probably due to staying up super late and waking up at around 11 everyday. I realize how stupid this is becasue half of the day is gone by the time I wake up.
GOAL for the next 30 days: Wake up by 9 and be productive.
Is it conceited to say that under all my fat I think I look like this?
I miss stadiums.

So over the past couple of days I have come to a few realization
A) I consume WAY too many carbs! Even though many of them are complex carbs, I still know I consume too many, especially since I don’t work out everyday. My go to snacks are mainly starchy carbs (crackers, rice cakes, peanut butter, etc.). Pretty much all my meals include carbs and I often feel a meal is complete without them.
B) I don’t consume enough protein and vegetables. I think my lack of protein may actually make me crave carbs. I actually really love steamed vegetables, but its often just easier to snack on carbs becasue they are comfort foods and they are easily accessible.
C) I need to drink more water. I actually think I am dehydrated becasue sometimes I only drink like 3 glasses a day and I only drink water…so I need to really work on that. I know that sometimes when I think I’m hungry, I’m really just thirsty but I eat anyway :(
THEREFORE, I have some changes to make! :P
I’m not going to cut out restrict starchy carbs by any means because that will just drive me crazy, lead to binging, and its not necessary. Instead, I am just going to focus on portion control, try to eat clean, and varying the types of food I eat. I also just need to make a conscious effort to stay hydrated (drinking before and after meals).
Lehgo :)
so true — i felt like the hulk or something. hahahaha

This woman is AHHHMAZING. I found one of her videos last night and have literally been watching them nonstop since then. I feel like I can totally relate to her because she was on a program (Weight-Watchers) got to her goal weight, and ended up gaining it all back becasue she found it hard to maintain by calorie counting…which is something I too have realized I cannot strictly do on my path to a healthier, better me.
I have learned so much from her channel, and she has motivated me to do my summer weight loss journey without a gym membership. I think a gym membership will restrict me to just doing the treadmill and elliptical, and I want to focus on a variety of exercises this summer. One thing I have really been enjoying the past few days is playing Just Dance 3 on my Wii. I am doing the 7 day fitness challenge and I can honestly play that game for an hour and be drenched in sweat! I am also finding exercise circuits/videos on Yoututbe and Exercise TV, so the no gym thing should not be a problem.
In the past few days of working out and eating better, I have felt 10x better than I did during the weeks where I was binging and not exercising. Yaay!
BTW, weigh ins will now be Wednesday mornings :)
Dinner: asparagus, potato chowder from mothers day, and some pasta. Will be doing an update later about my summer plan. But today was a great day, got a lot of cardio in and I’m sore but feeling great. Now its time to start my night of tlc for my hair :)
Tomorrow…if I’m not too sore.

Lunch for the day: Tuna melt sandwich, carrots, 1/2 an apple and some leftover spinach gratin from mothers day :)
Lunch: tuna + bean salad, sweet potato, and water <3

Sometimes it takes soo much pushing yourself to get out the door and start, but it’s all worth it. Go get outside and get active everyone! Whatever it takes to get yourself motivated, do it :)

I am here. Finals are over.I am back at home. A month after the end of my weight loss program I have gained 10lbs. 10lbs…in a month.
I am quite disgusted with myself for letting that much weight pack on that quickly.
I honestly binged like everyday. Eating cookies, cakes, candies…everything I guilted myself out of eating during the program. Not only that, I ate even when I wasn’t hungry, sometimes stuffing myself with more even though my body was telling me it was full. From my analysis of my eating habits from the past month, I realize that I have an unhealthy relationship with food and it is something I desperately need to fix.
I was considering starting Jamie Eason’s 12 Week Live Fit program, but I don’t think I am anymore. I am pretty sure if I start the program I can finish it, but I am afraid the same thing will happen once it ends: I will undo all my hard work by binging on the unhealthy food I wasn’t allowed to eat during the program. I still want to loose weight, and I am still sticking to my goal of becoming 130lbs but I need to incorporate a sustainability into my path towards that goal.
For starters, I am not putting a time limit on how quickly I need to lose the weight. In the past I have always focused on losing x amount of lbs by a certain time and that approach has obviously failed a number of times. Instead, I am going to just try to make healthier and permanent life changes that will aid me in my weight loss. I am not sure if I will be strictly counting calories, but I am going to be keeping track of what I eat…probably in a notebook…or here.
So, you probably won’t read this but I just needed to get it out there. Cheers to a new start.
