Reboot and Revamp?

Well, well! It’s been far too long since I’ve been here and it really shows. A lot has changed in the last year, but unfortunately my waist line wasn’t one of those changes. I’m here to stop making excuses and get back on this blog and my diet!

Not all has been a total loss, I’m not all the way back to my starting weight of 2010, but I’ve definitely gained some pounds back from the beginning of 2011. I’ve started a new diet that’s been relatively easier to follow, but I’m still not sure it’s where I want to be. I’ve been sticking to a low carb diet and found that I could easily and happily give up bread and potatoes for the most part.

I have stopped counting calories and I can’t help but wonder if that change has distracted me from being more food conscious? Is counting calories very important?

I have joined the 21st century and have myself a smartphone and all it’s joys and pains. With it I have a multitude of apps and a decent camera that I can hopefully use to bombard you all with photos that you probably don’t care about. I have not downloaded the wordpress app, does it work well or should I just stick to the computer?

I have new goals and plans in mind! For starters, I’m using an old belt from high school as a goal tool for losing weight. At the beginning of the year I couldn’t even fully wrap the belt around my waist but I can now buckle the first hole! I’m super excited. My second goal is to comfortably fit into a size 14 pair of pants I’ve had in my drawers for a few years. I want to fit back into those and I can’t wait when I can.

Update 4-7-11

We all like updates, right? Here’s one!

Please don’t be alarmed at my last post, I have not in fact, been eating a 700 kcal daily diet. Try twice that and we’re good.

I was angry and also, in a strange way, amused by the posting of our new friend but I won’t give to his advice to basically starve myself. I will however, though he does not recommend it, try putting in more exercise into my daily routine.

I want to try and start going to be early so I can wake up early and do some morning exercises before running off to work or school (depending on the day.)

I will also try eating something for breakfast as I found out it really does help, but I probably won’t be eating breakfast until at least 2 hours after I’ve been awake. I remember reading somewhere that you should eat within the first 30 minutes of waking, but I don’t know what I can eat that won’t upset my stomach, perhaps a glass of juice might be a satisfactory substitute?

Also, starting up again with the rules. Not easing into it this time: No candy, No fast food, No soda– even diet
Any ideas of other rules to add? Healthy rules, obviously.

Dear Rob-

Some fellow named Rob left a comment in my “About Me” section, please feel free to read it.

 

Dear Rob,

First off, let me thank you by commenting on my journal, it’s nice to know that people look at it even though I’ve all but abandoned it. Secondly, thank you for calling me lazy. It takes a real man to name call a woman, especially on the internet! How proud your parents must be! With that aside, I suppose in some strange way you were trying to express how you cared about my plight. What man likes a fat woman anyways, right?

You suggested I take off 500 kcals from what I was eating to loose weight. When I was doing this diet properly, I was intaking 1200 kcals, which is the minimum recommended by doctors, but since you lost weight, you know best, right? Why are you always so right about everything? So I guess my new intake should be 700 kcals a day, there will be no repercussions about this will there? Surly a body can live off of it, and enjoy life to the fullest.

 

Let’s see how long I can keep up a 700 kcal a day diet. I will try it for a week, wish me luck! *crosses fingers*

 

Sincerely,
Piggy

My house mate broke my scale because he was throwing a fit about a bathroom scale being in the bathroom instead of in my room. Apparently he tripped over it because when he got out of the shower he decided to walk diagonally 4 feet to the right or something. I have no idea. He’s an asshole…

I haven’t been doing well and when I do finally return, it won’t be pretty… weight wise anyways. Perhaps I can take weekly pictures and post those as progress instead?

Weekly Weigh In 4

ld Weight: 94.9kg
New Weight: 93.9kg
Difference: -1kg

 

Still not where I want to be.

I’ve decided to try a new tactic. There is some really cute stuff at Michaels Crafts Store that I’d like to buy, some cute Victorian inspired notebooks and what not, that are really cheap and I’d like to use as a reward for loosing weight. Well since they change their stuff often, I have to be quick about loosing weight if I want to buy what I want.

So, 195lbs = cute new notebook, I can do it now lol

Weekly Weigh In 3

Old Weight: 93.3kg
New Weight: 94.9kg
Difference: +1.6kg

Wow, I cannot believe how lame I am for gaining so much weight. I know it’s due to lack of exercise. I don’t know why I can walk 2 miles to school but on vacation I can’t be bothered to do anything!

I know part of my problem is food. I haven’t been eating the healthiest like I should be. At least I haven’t had soda since the new year, but I can’t say the same for my other resolutions about chocolate and fast food… I just need to start exercising again.

Weekly Weigh In 2

I didn’t forget, I swear! I’ve just had a productive weekend.

 

Old Weight: 92.2kg
New Weight: 93.3kg
Difference: +1.1kg

Not how I wanted to start off the New Year, geez. I haven’t done ANYTHING I wanted to this year. I really need to start cracking down on myself harder.

Though I am down from Dec 31 weight. Ah well, just try harder!

Weekly Weigh In 1- Happy New Year!

I don’t know how I lost some weight overnight, but I did. Which is good because it gives me a lower weight to start with and now I’ll really have to try harder

New Weight: 92.2kg or 202.84lbs
Old Weight: 93.4kg or 205.48 lbs
Difference: 1.2kg or 2.64lbs

So, what’s my goal for January? Simple. Get under 195lbs (88.6kg).  I really want to break that 200lbs threshold that makes me want to cry everytime I hop on the scale. I have failed all my weight goals before, so I’m really disappointed in my past results, but I know what I need to do and I know I need to try harder if I really want to succeed. I feel 5 lbs under the 200 mark will help with that “no turning back” attitude.

So what kind of resolutions do I have weight wise this year?
1. Stick to the goals I’ve made and no slacking off. I let myself drink diet soda and it kind of went down hill from there.
2. Make new goals and revisit old ones. I never did start the weight lifting exersices that I wanted to do. >.>
3. Don’t let yourself become so hungry that you inhale your food (this is freaking embarrassing!!)
4. And of course, keep up with the weekly weigh ins.

Alright that’s what I have so far. Maybe I should keep a food journal again. Maybe I should post my naughty moments on here. I might think twice if I have to confess my sins.

New Year’s Eve- Last Post of the Year!

Alright, this morning I weighted

dun dun dun dun!!

93.4 kilos or 205.48lbs

I don’t know what’s up with me and that weight. *sighs*

Comparitive analysis later!

Weekly Weigh In 16

Geez, have I really ignored this blog for 5 weeks? Sorry everyone.

Though, I have lost some weight, and I can now fit my fat ass into a size 12 dress… I was wearing a size 18 at the beginning of the year.

School is almost over and I have a break before the Spring Semester starts. I hope I can keep up with this blog, I really enjoy writing things down, plus all the wonderful comments I get from those who read it. I don’t want to let you guys down.

Week 16
New Weight: 91.8kg or 201.96lbs
Old Weight: 92.5kg or 203.50 lbs
Difference: 0.7kg or 1.54lbs

I’m hoping I can be under 200 by the New Year, so that way I have all of 2011 to get down more! I can do it!
