Update On Weight Loss

Since I haven't spoke in a good time, I decided to do a quick update on where I am on my weight loss. My highest starting weight was 156 lbs. It has taken approximately 3 weeks for me to get from 156 to my current weight of 146. So far I have lost approx 10 lbs and have 13 lbs to go till I meet my first weight goal of 133 lbs. I have decided that for my accomplishment of my weight lost I will have my belly button pierced either near or when I reach my first or second weight goal. The first week of trying to get back on track is really hard. You have to resist those temptations of junk food and cramming things into your mouth. I combated this by chewing gum. Stride gum to be exact and I couldn't believe how well it helped along with telling myself that I didn't need to be eating so late. Anxious to see what I will look like once this is all done. Might even wear a bikini........might.

Can My Life Be Any Busier?

Seriously, my life is so boring. I am thinking that is why I am having a hard time being successful on my second shot of losing weight. I start off the day on the right foot and then mess it up by end of the night because I'm bored and need something to occupy my time or I have an anchoring to eat something in particular. I'm just happy I haven't gained too much weight back. Plus being home day in and day out and to only leave to go to school or work is annoying and depressing. A few days ago I went window shopping at the mall because I was so bored and because my interest was working well. It was fun but I wish I could do more things and hangout with lively people more often. I feel the longer I go without making new friends, the ones I do have will be too busy to do much. *Sigh* if only I knew how to get out and create the fun part of my life. On a good note, from the weight I have already lost I am still getting compliments on how smaller I look.

One Step At A Time

After I had my first gallbladder attack weight loss seemed easier than it does now. But what I can remember is that I took one step at a time. They day after my attack I was scared to eat many things. Since gallstones are balls of cholesterol from fatty foods, I tried cutting down on my fat intake. When I did this I was not thinking about my weight. I ended up losing 3lbs before starting my weight loss journey. Approximately 8 months went by before I had the surgery to take out my gallbladder and during the time in between the day I had it out and my first attack I was able, it seemed, to lose weight without a problem. I was focused on losing weight but at the same time I knew I would exceed eventually.

I have realized what I have to do. I need to focus on my diet and motivate myself to get into more exercises. My gym membership at my school will be running out in approx. 1 month and maybe a couple of weeks, so I need to take advantage of that as much as possible. I, like millions of people that try to lose weight want the pounds to come off fast. But that only keeps you down. You need to better your life without, dare I say it, wanting to lose weight. In more lamens terms, lose the weight without actually trying to lose the weight.

This is what I must do in order not to stress myself out and to not keep falling of the wagon when trying to shed those pesky pounds. Just remember to be concerned with lifestyle and health over numbers. :)

Current Weight Situation

So I was doing good on my weight up until Saturday. I ate taco salad and of course my Nutella. Then I had a little party with a friend who got some McDonalds McNuggets and I gobbled those up. Went from 155 Lb to 157 Lb. Then on Sunday I ended up eating some Papa John's pizza. So basically I have fell off the wagon once again. I would be able to keep on track if I can control what I eat by saying no and doing more intense exercising. My school has a fitness center of course but I don't feel like using right now. This semester is not happening for well so I just want to go to class and then quickly get back home. That's if i'm not working. Then there are the days that I can't because I have to work in the evening. So that leaves trying to maybe go in the mornings, since my classes or in the afternoon I have a whole morning to do whatever. But my sleep schedule is out of whack so I don't like getting up to do anything before going to my classes. 24 hour fitness is closer to me than my school is but I can't afford the monthly membership. That's why I wish I had a treadmill of my own. I can work out when I want, especially anytime that I am bored. I need something that will help me burn more calories and help encourage me to keep burning more calories. :(

Temptations Hinder Weight

So in my last weight post, I posted that I would be able to not eat anything until I went to sleep. Missioned failed! I ended up eating a quesadilla that had pepper jack cheese, chedder cheese dip, and salsa on a wheat tortilla. Pushing my weight from 155.5 Lb to 156.4 this morning. My breakfast consisted of the usual Nutella on four slices of wheat bread toasted. Did a mid-day weight check and I am at 156.6 Lb. I think my dinner will be salmon with maybe a salad.

My Weight on 3/24/2011

Woke up today trying once again to force myself to stick to losing weight by not straying from the path. If I can resist of not eating anything until I go to sleep, this will be a day 1 accomplishment. I think this goal is feasible since I just weighed myself a few minutes ago and I clocked in at 155.6 LB.This morning I weighed 157 LB. Hooray! But not so much because all I had today was basically some toast. I had four slices of break that had Nutella on it. For those of you who do not know what Nutella is, it is a hazelnut and coco spread. I call it the Italian peanut butter because I saw on a cooking show on Food Network. The cook's name was Giada, and she is Italian(I think). But anyways that stuff is good. It mainly tastes like chocolate to me with a hint of the hazelnut which is not overpowering. I was introduced to the spread through a friend. I watched the cooking show yours before but the idea of the hazelnut turned me off. I would like to thank my friend Rey for introducing this to me.
