despite my apparent best efforts to sabotage my losing weight, my weight was at a new low today! Read the rest of this entry »
i kind of ran yesterday. i say kind of, because i was on an elliptical machine, so i don’t really consider that running. Read the rest of this entry »
i am so jealous of all the cool kids that lose 2 lbs/week. why can’t i be like the cool kids? oh right. i get lazy on the weekends and eat whatever i want and don’t exercise. which makes the amazing progress i had m-th become rather mediocre by sunday. i think i need a weightloss elf to follow me around on the weekends and smack my hands when i’m bad. and that grabs me by the pants and makes me go to the gym. anyone know where i can get one of those?
november and december have been okay for me. i definitely didn’t do so well on tracking what i ate (or spent, but that’s another story), nor did i get much exercise in. my goal for christmas was 260, which i didn’t quite reach. i was a little too optimistic that i’d stay on target during the holidays. but! i did get to around 265 for christmas, and that’s about 15 pounds lost. which is absolutely fantastic.

ok. this has got to stop. i’ve been crazy lazy lately. excuses have been strewn like dirty laundry all over the place, and it’s really starting to smell like dead stinky socks in here. i haven’t been tracking my calories, i’ve had a slight weight gain (!) over thanksgiving (but i kind of expected that too), and negligible weight loss this week. apathy abounds.

after three weeks of not going to the gym, i finally made it back last night. i even went back to campus & the gym after i’d been home for an hour or two. i’m amazing like that. high fives and pats on the back are appreciated.
i thought i’d take it easy at first, since it had been so long since my last workout. about ten minutes into my ellipticizing i realized that it was way too easy, so i did that interval thingy where you run as fast as you can for a minute and then let your heart rate recover some. rinse and repeat. but still, that wasn’t that hard. i think i’ll have to add some resistance next time. and that’s a good thing, because that means i’ve made some good progress.
in case you haven’t heard (i’ve been broadcasting everywhere today), i fit into size 20 jeans! they’re still a bit too tight to wear in public, but i’m confident that they’ll be perfect in a few weeks. i am so ecstatic about it–i haven’t fit into size 20 jeans in about 5 years. i was wearing 24’s in august/september, so dropping two sizes is so exciting.
the end.
The past couple of weeks have been absolutely insane. I’ve had to put aside many of my other priorities, such as my “don’t break the chain” goal, in order to make room for things that God has said are more important right now. Read the rest of this entry »
I got pretty frustrated last week that I wasn’t losing hardly at all, and my roommate and her fiancé (fitness nuts) say that I have probably gained muscle & that’s why my weight loss hasn’t been as steady. I does make sense a bit, since I have been working out nearly every day. And when I say working out, I don’t mean taking a walk around the block. I ellipticise with my heart rate around 140-150 for 30-40 minutes ever day, followed by 20-25 minutes of lifting weights or doing calisthenics like sit-ups. I’ve had a couple of coworkers say I’ve lost weight, and I think I look slightly leaner; at the same time, I don’t trust my own opinion. Read the rest of this entry »
pretty frustrated this week. i gained some after getting back from disneyland last weekend, which i suspected. i figured it was water weight mostly, ’cause i didn’t drink very much water while we were traipsing about the magic kingdom. i also figured it would come off once i started guzzling water again, which it did.
