Well I finally finished one of my weight loss goals. I walked 100 miles. I didn't do it in the time alloted (i was supposed to finish christmas day) but I think the important thing is I finished. I didn't give up. I have to say I am proud of myself. I know at around the 30 and 50 mile mark it just seemed like it was so much, but I just planned one day at a time. I am sitting here grinning like a big ole fool.


So all week I have been thinking about new years resoultions. Usually i am saying I want to lose 50 lbs or workout everyday for 3 hours. Things, I think, are just no realistic. not because it isn't possible, but beause I didn't have a plan in place to accomplish those things. With the 100 miles I realize ok in order to walk to my goal I need to do at least so many miles per day or per week and this is how I am REALISTICLY going to get there.

Normally I would be thing I have to lose 50lbs. Now I am thinking ok, I lost 3 lbs and I really want to lose 5. How am I going to do that?

Well here are my goals for the year. I may modify them and just like with my walk challenge I will be flexible so I can reach my ultimate goal without beating myself up with guilt.

GOALS
-Be able to do 25 pushups by the end if the year.
-walk 100 miles every 90 days.
(I didn't say how many miles for the year because I want to see how much I do just on my own)

I think thats it for now. Things I would like to see change.

My knees stop hurting permanently.
Be able to fit into a smaller size for my trip to Jamaica this year.
-Stop eating out as much as I do, more for my wallet than anything else.
-Make my excercise portable. I don't seem to what to excercise in front of my boyfriend or family when they visit or I visit them, so I wan to change that.

Ok, thats it for now.

Happy new Year.

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
