Day 16: Jan 19th Hi!! Yesterday, I went to birthday dinner and I'm very proud to say that I just ate a salad. It was a pasta buffet, with ravioli, tortellini, spaghetti, fettuccini with all kinds of sauces, but I stuck to my salad and I didn't try anything. I wanted to close the day successfully!!! Today I plan to do a Jari Love DVD(my profile picture is her). It will be hard, but I will do it. That's my exercise goal for today.

Week 2, Day 12: Jan 15th Good morning!! Today I'm going out to dinner, so I will eat very very light for breakfast and lunch. Well I already ate a very light breakfast and I will have a very light lunch, so I can eat a little bit more on dinner. Managing your diet day by day is easier than thinking about what I ate yesterday or what I'm going to eat tomorrow. I am reading Burn the fat, feed the muscle by Tom Venuto again. It's the best book there is about losing fat (not weight, but FAT). I'm very tired right now. My body is still adjusting to the exercise. It's been 12 days since I started and well, I wish the days go by faster, so I can be at my goal weight already. I have to be more patient. That's the hardest!!

Week 2, Day 10: Jan 13th I realized my starting weight for the ticker was what I initially weighed in 2008, 114.2 lbs. So I changed it to 112.2 lbs which is what I started with in 2010. So, now the ticker will indicate how much I lost this time around. It's halfway to the 5 lbs lost mark. I will celebrate or do something special every time I reach a ticker mark. I'm closing the day successfully!! I ate within my range and I exercised!!

Week 2, Day 10: Jan 13th Good morning!! Today is my 2nd spark-iversary! I was very active when I joined and saw results, then I left, and again tried some other thing on my own and I fluctuated on my upper weight range. But I came back this year to finally shed those last pouds!!!!!. I think sparkpeople works. It makes you accountable. I will log on every day. Also, I want to run my first 10 K in October. Yesterday was another successful day!!! Just focus on "one day at a time"!!

Day 7: Jan 10th I ate within my range. Yay!! That is the hardest. I kept active all day, walking, doing my 100 exercises (squats, triceps and abs). I will include during the weekdays only 100 back and 100 shoulders, plus my pushup program that I do Monday, Wed and Fridays. I start the C25K program tomorrow. I'd better not think about that. Just focus on today. I completed the day successfully!!!

Day 7: Jan 10th Good morning!! Congratulations Reba! I read in your sparkpage that you've maintained your healthy habits for 3 years!! WOW! I hope I can get there "one day at a time". I am slowly trying to change my old habits and working on replacing them with new good healthy habits. Instead of thinking and planning ahead so much, planning for the day and just focusing on one day helps me. Plus tracking each day, having little reminders on my itouch applications helps a lot too. Reminders of drinking water throughout the day, tracking my calories for the day, getting some exercise during the day. It doesn't have to be a full workout, just focusing on one exercise per muscle group any time I take a break. That's how I'm able to do 100 abs, 100 squats, 100 triceps and my pushups. Taking little breaks during the day to do them.

Day 5: Jan 8th I found my polar heart rate monitor and the battery was drained. I bought some new batteries and I'm wearing the receiver now. I will start using it again for my cardio. I decided to do the C25K running program and I will be reporting with my c25k sparkteam on Monday. I downloaded the application for my itouch, so I'm ready to start. I did 100 abs 100 french presse 100 squats 42 pushups I will do some walking when I get home tonight. I had salmon, eggplant and rice for lunch. Very healthy, no oil, just broiled and steamed. I'm monitoring my water intake with another itouch application. They are very handy for tracking.

Day 4: Jan 7th I'm slowly increasing exercise. I don't want to do too much. I will commit to doing: 100 pushups (3 times a week). Rest Day. 100 Abs. Done for today. 100 squats or lunges. Done for today. 100 French presses (triceps). Done for today. 20 min walking uphill (23 min DONE today) I can also replace all of the above if I do a Jari Love ripped DVD. This will come later, I don't think I am ready to do this yet. Just thinking about it makes me want to quit. I am just going to focus on things that I can manage and keep evolving from there. For pushups, I am following a pushup program, so I will just follow what it says. Yesterday I did 33 in 5 sets. At the end of 6 weeks, I will be able to do 100 pushups. I started tracking my food today on my itouch. There is a program called Lose It! that is free. It's very easy to track food with that program.

Day 4: Jan 7th I am so hungry now. Yesterday, after I finished drinking my smoothie, I was ok, but later on, I got such a craving for some sweets!! But I resisted, yay!!! Today, I didn't have breakfast. I left home without having any and I was going to grab something to in my office, but all I had was crackers. I had two crackers and now I'm just waiting for lunch. I am just thinking one day at a time. Maybe I will do my Jari Love workout at home. I don't need to do it everyday. My rule is that I have to do at least 20 min of walking on an incline. I will do more if time and mood permits, but I don't feel overwhelmed or feel guilty if I didn't follow a set routine. This is a lifestyle change where the rules are: 20 min of walking a day, plus watching what I eat and make the best of each situation, trying to save calories whenever I can. And each day is a new day and I have to focus on just one day. Also, I will log on sparkpeople to journal my experiences and get motivation.

Day 3: Jan 6th I was really hungry for breakfast, but after I had 5 almonds and 3 crackers and coffee, I was not hungry anymore. I should be more prepared for breakfast. I will buy some yogurt and wheat bread. For lunch, I went to a sushi place near my office. I had some unagui sushi, other sushis and sashimi. So far, I guess I'm doing ok. Tonight I would like to have a fruit smoothie and do some walking. 20 min at least. I will get my ipod ready, so it passes by faster than yesterday. I will do some pushups also.

Day 2: Tuesday, Jan 5th. I read a book that recommended that you shouldn't deprive yourself of the foods that you love when you go to a restaurant. What you can do is to order what you like and tell the waiter to bring you 1/2 the portion to eat at the table and 1/2 the portion to go. Then you can eat it as a leftover another day. So, I want to make that a habit. I know some dishes are not good when eaten as a leftover, but that's one strategy you can apply in order to eat less of the things that you like. I have to remember to do it.

Tuesday, Jan 5th I didn't have breakfast today. I woke up late. For lunch, I had sushi, seaweed salad, ceviche (a fish dish) and I didn't have dessert. I had green tea. So far, I ate a very healthy meal. I will keep on drinking more water. As for exercise, I did one set of 30 reps of triceps for now. My pushups program says that I have to do pushups every other day, so today is a rest day. I have to squeeze some 20 min of cardio (walking or cycling). One day at a time. One day at a time....

January 4, 2010 I start again with blogging what I eat and trying to eat right each day. I started on the wrong foot eating a 185 calories chocolate. I have to eat right and exercise. I know. I downloaded a program on my itouch called TRUE WEIGHT and you plug in your daily weight and it compensates the daily fluctuations and tells you your TRUE WEIGHT. I think it averages out your last weigh ins and smoothes the curve to give you the weight. I'm at 112.4 lbs now. ********************* I did my pushup program (an itouch application). Set of 6, then rest 1 min, set of 6, then rest, set of 4, rest, set of 4, rest and set of 5. A total of 25 pushups. By the end of this program I should be able to do 100 pushups. I drank water.
