I'm so happy today. Starting this new week without a roommate and healthy eating. We are cooking up salmon, brown rice and vegetables. I think my new favorite type of meal is rice, veggies and a type of protein like chicken or salmon. I was able to lose about 7 lbs last month, not tooo bad, but I was hoping for 10. I know what needs to get done to ( Read more... )

This is the last week of having a roommate. OMG I am so freaking excited I can finally start living with Ryan all alone. Right now I am cooking some chicken for tomorrow. Me and my friends from work are having chicken salad day at work. I hope that it turns out ok. I'm watching How I Met Your Mother, funniest show ever.

Going out of town for the weekend. In past years its been a full blown gluttonous event. This is just our annual cabin party that is basically a college reunion for our group of friends. I usually end up eating so much pizza and drinking so much freaking alcohol, its disgusting. I hope this time I can manage to have some kind of restraint. I'm ( Read more... )

Weekly weigh ins are Friday and I will start doing that this Friday. Just wanted to kick things off now though. Nothing much to add for today. I decided to swtich scales because my scale always tells my weight as 2lbs heavier than every other scale I have stepped on in the last 2 weeks. I didn't change that on my ticker yet, will do that at the ( Read more... )

Haven't checked in for a few days. The weekend was pretty fun. Ryan and I drove up to Salinas for the weekend. His grandma was having a bbq and she wanted us to come up since she couldn't make it for his graduation in May. My parents drove down from Santa Rosa as well. I did good for the most part eating wise. On our way out of town, we made a ( Read more... )

Work was bleh today. I did really well eating wise. I ate so many fruits today. I ended up getting a very good workout at the gym. I did 15 minutes on the stairmaster and then about 45 minutes of weight training. I think I did pretty good. I was even feeling sore afterwards. I hope I'm feeling it tomorrow, I love that part about new workouts. Went ( Read more... )

Ok back from kickboxing. I am so glad I went, its been far too long. So usually I go right after work, but since I get off work at 3:30, its too early for gym classes. I think Tues/Thurs I'm going to take kickboxing and step which both start at 6:30. But I definatly need to eat something between that because today I didn't and I was sooo hungry ( Read more... )

Kickboxing at 6:30....must go, no excuses!

Alright so I'm so happy that I did not gain any weigth this weekend. So I didn't lose either, but thats ok. Maintaining is my goal at the end of each weekend. Santa Barbara was very fun and relaxing. We didn't do a whole lot. It was my friend's bday and so I thought we were going to eat out and drink a lot. While there was a lot of food, I was able ( Read more... )

So I had started this journal almost 4 years ago and lost almost 80 lbs in a 1.5 year span. I was so close to being under 199. Then in May 2007, I moved about 450 miles away from home (to Los Angeles) and started a new job. I gained like 15 lbs in 2 months due to a sedentary lifestyle behind a desk. Then my weight fluctuated between 230-245 for all ( Read more... )
