I gained!

Monday, August 13, 2007

Last week I weighed in at 230 and this week I gained a pound. It's the first time that I have gained since joining SP. Instead of moping around and not doing anything about it, I'm going to do something about it. Today I'm going to the gym before work and I'm going to eat very lightly. Well hopefully I can stop this before it gets out of hand, and this week I'm going to try extra hard.

Just remember not to eat too lightly. Eating fewer than 1200 calories per day will put your body into storage mode and you will lose muscle instead of fat. Good luck and be healthy! Report Inappropriate Comment

Screwing myself over the night before weigh-in.

Sunday, August 12, 2007

I feel like total crap. My mom talked me into eating chips and salsa with her. I know it is my fault for eating so many but now that it has happened and is over with I want to redo the whole thing. This sucks! I'm supposed to weigh in tomorrow but I know the number is going to be higher than I'd like. Mainly because I wasn't able to work out this week like I wanted to, because I was so sick. Plus I went over my calorie range a few times. I didn't even go to the gym today because it was closed by the time I got out of work.
I try so hard yet I feel like I'm screwing up all the time. By no means am I quitting, I'm just so frustrated with myself right now. I was doing so good today and I totally messed up at the last possible second. I feel horrible.

To be honest, salsa is a lot healthier than normal cheesy dips. I don't know how many of the chips you had, but I bet you didn't have as many calories as you believe you did. Just work a few minutes extra this week on your gym days and I'll bet you get those calories in check again. Good luck! Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't worry hon your not going to gain weight over night any more than you can lose weight over night. If you see any affects from your chip and dippin it will take about 3 days. Sounds to me if your mother has no control and that it's time you stepped up to the plate and take control. But in a polite way of course. Just look at your mother and say...mother--no thank you. If she insistes look her right in the eye and say mother--no and no means no. Enjoy all you want but I don't want any. Thank you. And walk away. Walk away from the situations that are causing you stress. Good luck! I can't imagine a parent of a child with food / weight / health problems trying to coax their child to eat something that isn't good for them. It's not much different than a mother saying here honey drink some kitchen pine cleaner with your peanut butter sandwich! Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm still here!

Well I've definitely be negligent to my blog lately. Mostly because I've been sick and in turn I haven't been doing as well as I should be. I couldn't exercise because I've felt so sick lately and I didn't want to make my cold any worse. I haven't really lost any weight this week before I was sick I had lost a pound but I gained it back in the next couples days. Though I refuse to change my weight tracker because I'm convinced it will be back the 229 soon.

But not all bad news or excuses in my blog I promise! Today I feel much better in fact I tried to redeem myself at the gym today. I ran on the elliptical for about a half hour & walked for another hour and a half. I just felt like I needed a workout boost, and now I feel so much better about myself today. I'm so happy I unintentionally happened upon sparkpeople. It is making a wonderful impression on my health and life. Oh and someone called me "Skinny Mini" the other day. It's not exactly true, but it is more true today than 24 lbs ago! :)

  

I Have a Cold!!

Tuesday, August 07, 2007

I have a really bad cold so I haven't officially worked out in the past couple days. I was going to go to the gym today but my mom talked me out of it. She told me I'll just make it worse. I'm not exactly sure if that's true but I listened (mother knows best, right?) and stayed home. If I'm feeling better in the next few days I might go to gym and do something light like walk the track or swimming. I just am afraid that if I stay away from the gym too long I will not go back. I still have been going to work though so its not like I'm sitting aroud doing nothing. I'm a server so I've been getting over 10,000 steps that past couple of days so that has got to be worth something. I think I may just rest today and if I feel up to it I will go tomorrow.

  

Feeling Down

Sunday, August 05, 2007

As per my last entry I royally screwed up this weekend. I thought I'd feel better after I worked out but I feel like it isn't enough. I also ate extremely light today because I don't want to add to the problem.So I'm feeling really down in the dumps today. I know its not the end of the world just because I over ate I just feel like that one meal deprived me of the hard work that I have done thus far. I was thinking of moving my weigh in date just so I won't feel bad tomorrow, but I think I'm going to tough it out instead.

I tend to beat myself up when I screw up too. The thing you have to keep in mind is that you have already done SO well on your program! Be proud of yourself and allow yourself to have a bad day once in a while. Tough out your weigh in. You did a great job of eating light toaday to make up for this weekend. It will workout. You are doing an amazing job! Report Inappropriate Comment
