Day 6: May 29th

I am so excited about this weekend. I am going to be off work for almost a week and I get to go to Granbury to hang out with my boyfriend and his family. We get to see Cory's cousin Keller graduate, play disc golf, and get yummy food. I am worried about eating healthy while I am on the road but I am going to try my best to keep a clear and healthy mind. I have a goal to try and workout while I am away. I am really excited to get away for a while but when I get back I have my surgery on the 4th of June but then it is my birthday on June 5th!!!


My birthday plan is to just go to dinner and shop with my mom. After that around the 6th or so I am just going to have a cook out with Cory, Logan, and Rachele (steak, beer, maybe a some cheese cake; yum!). I just want to do something low key with nothing fancy...I am going to be 22 its nothing big or special so I want to match the occasion. 


Today was a good day; I feel like I am getting stronger and gaining more stamina throughout my body. I am going to go again tomorrow with Rachele. She is my good ole workout buddy. I am still trying to get Cory to come with my but I know he hates running on treadmills and I can't really blame him. I am slowly getting used to them; they still sick though. 


Sleepy time! Goodnight loves!!!!

Day 4 & 5: May 27-28

Well I haven't been eating well I am not going to lie. My appetite has gone through the roof 

and I am trying to figure out how to control it. I worked out on day 

4 but not today (day 5) but I am going tomorrow. 

Yesterday I was terrible and went 800 over my calorie budget and drank alcohol....it was a terrible day but I did workout even though it doesn't compensate how much I went over my budget. 

Today was a lot better I didn't workout but I did stay 64 under my budget and I will workout tomorrow. I just needed a day off to let my muscles recover from the last 2 days. I am not going to give up I am getting stronger and healthier. I need to learn to love myself and stop hating my body so much. 

 

I am doing the best I can right now and it is only the start of my journey. My first weigh in is coming up on Thursday and I am going off the scale I have at home so I am not sure how accurate it is but that is what I am going to stick with. 

I know no one really cares about this blog but It keeps me motivated and focused; that is all that matters to me now.

Day 3: May 26, 2012

Today was a pretty good day even though I didn't get a nap 

I signed up for a gym membership at planet fitness and got my workout/tan on (not at the same time). I started slow and never got too crazy with my workout today. My legs were hurting pretty bad today and when I tried to job I felt like my legs were going to give out. Tomorrow I am going to go with my friend Rachele and then probably again with Cory. I am taking advantage of the tanning portion of my gym membership too. I am so sick of being fat and pale. 


I decide I am only going to weigh myself once a week; every Thursday. I hate waiting though even though I know much hasn't changed. I am hoping that I have lose some weight at the end of this week, even though I am not better on it. As much as it shames me my current weight (depending on the scale) is: 180. 


I have weighed more before but I have also weighed less. I am just tired of being fat and I have to keep reminding myself there is a reason I am doing this...for my health and myself. 


I am creating confidence in myself.

Day 2: May 25, 2012

Today sucked really badly as far as calorie intake goes. I really need to start working out more and reach my goal of 130. I went 1,087 over my budget and I didn’t work out today. I was extremely busy I had two doctors’ appointments preparing for my surgery. I need to bust my butt during this next week to try and beast my workouts and watch what I eat very closely. Sunday, I plan on doing a lot of laundry and working out…I haven’t decided if I want to get a gym membership or not. I like Planet Fitness because of the tanning, the gym is very nice, and the hydro-beds are cool. I think I want to get it but I am afraid I won’t use it. I am also going to try to write all my thank you letters for graduation.

I don’t have much to say but that I am disappointed in myself. I am going to try to keep my head up and get back on the wagon tomorrow.

Day 1: May 24, 2012

Today is the day I honestly and truthfully stick to a diet. I went to the doctor today and weighed an astonishing 179 pounds. It hit me a little hard; so I decided to talk to my doctor about losing weight. I know I need to work out more and start slowly cutting out junk food. It is really hard sometimes because I want those bad foods; like pizza, taco bell, etc.  

The start to my day wasn’t great but it wasn’t awful; keep in mind I didn’t decide this new attitude until a few hours ago. I had a ½ tall non-fat white chocolate mocha with no whipped cream and ½ of a slice of pumpkin bread. Then I ate the rest of my pumpkin bread; when I got home I had 1 cup of rice, 2 non-fat hotdogs, spray butter, and shredded cheese. That is when I really had the change…I really wanted to purge but fate stepped in and Nathan (Cory and I’s roommate) came home. For dinner I had an apple, whole wheat tortilla, and a smart one’s Santa Fe beans and rice. Then I did some mild workout of jumping jack, lunges, and jump rope. I am really hoping keeping this journal will help me release my feelings, missteps, and triumphs.

I have wanted to train a 5K for a while and now I want to start doing it (I started to type ‘try’ but I erased it to try and keep positive).  This is what my first week is supposed to look like:

It seems simple enough I just need to keep motivated and I think my best bet is going to be not to tell anyone.

I am glad Cory (my boyfriend) is starting to work out too. We started playing disc golf and it is a lot of fun. We walk about 2 miles or so during the whole process and at times climb hills too. I am going to try to make wiser choices when we do go out to eat. Sweets are going to be my biggest down fall and as much as it pains me, I will do my very best to stray from them if possible.

This is going to wrap up my blogging for today; I am having my pre-op appointment at 8 am tomorrow morning for my eye surgery.  I also may have gotten new job as a head cashier at Lowes. Hopefully good news is soon to follow in the next blogs.

Good night world,
