I am looking forward to fasting on Monday. I want to see how long my body can go without food... I also want to kick up my workouts...so I decided that on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I am going to run for an hour again on the treadmill and on Wednesday night I am going to do an hour of kickboxing. I will try to add in other ( Read more... )

I worked out and am so completely enthralled and happy with my workout. I did 80 minutes on a treadmill, alternating between running and walking. I ran at different intervals--from 5 mph to 5.5 mph to 6 mph and up to 6.5 mph, then walked on an incline at 3.8 mph. I burned 725 calories and feel so happy. I have only taken in 60 calories so far today ( Read more... )

I weighed myself this morning. I did the usual thing where I weigh myself three times to ensure that the number is the same (or relatively the same). I think my scale is broken. First number was 141 lbs. Second number was 144 lbs. Third number was 142 lbs. I don't know what is going on. I am scared now that I cannot trust my scale at all. I might ( Read more... )

I am obsessing over calories today. I've eaten too many already and haven't worked out--will work out after this post.

It's only a little after two and I have already eaten a lot of calories. I was planning on starting the 2-4-6-8 diet today, but my hubby wanted us to have breakfast together. I couldn't very well just eat snowpeas... so I ended up eating all of this:

*coffee with creamer (2 tbsp)= 60 calories
*1 cup oatmeal made with milk = 210 calories
*1 tbsp. ( Read more... )

Weight 142 lbs

why hasn't my weight gone down?

I made up my own version of the 2-4-6-8 diet with what I will be following for the next few days. I am planning on doing it for 4 days, then see how I feel, and continuing it if able. I also plan on exercising each day--30 minutes to one hour plus toning exercises.

I've spent the last hour devouring my piles of old Shape magizines ripping out exercises and thinspiration pictures to put in my food & exercise journal. I haven't worked out yet, but plan to after I finish this entry. Foodwise I've done so so today. I've had a yogurt, vegetarian vegetable soup, and a slice of cheese. I haven't weighed myself in ( Read more... )

Today I did okay. I ended up running for only 25 minutes, but I walked on a treadmill at an incline for an additional 20 minutes. I also did more toning (mostly ab work though). I ate more than 500 calories--actually ended up eating 1000 calories. I tried to eat lots of vegetables, but my downfall came when I brought rice cakes to snack on while I ( Read more... )

Goals for tomorrow:
Run 30 minutes
keep eating to a minimum (under 500 calories)
everytime that I get hungry, think about my goal and someone who I envy for being so thin
