Move it to LOSE it

Swifty1014 · 08-22-2006, 07:12 PM

In the last two years I have gained around 20 lbs and went through a bad break up that lasted a year. I realize I keep the wrong kind of people in my life to even out my own self esteem issues. I am 22 now and in the best position in my life. I just moved on my own, my own place, my own choices. And it is now time to work on me. Every day counts, time for a emotional, physical, and spirit change in my life. My first goal is to work my butt off to lose 50lbs then an overall of 100 +, LC and working out 1 hour 5/6 days a week.

Day 1: Week 1:

b: 4 sausage links
celery with creme cheese
Green tea

L: Meatloaf
broc with ranch
cheese snack

D: taco salad
water, diet pepsi

Swifty1014 · 08-23-2006, 07:46 AM

Ive gotta get tough on myself. I want to make it a habit to work out in the mornings. Today I slept in longer then I should of.. so gotta walk around campus today.

B: Eggs, ham, sausage, cheese
green tea

Need to get Moving!

Thank you Indy, very motivating words. I got some lower back pain recently in the last month (also a reason to start back on LC to get the weight off) and it acted up a little today walking around campus. I made an effort to park further away and walk it. I am glad I did it. Those 4 flights of stairs I walked, made me feel like I was going to pass out, sad. Great thing about having school on a large campus, is you can walk and walk and no one knows your working out, you have plenty of space , different scenic paths, and a load of books on your back to make ya sweat. Plus it was a HOOOOT! day today. Kind of icky to go to class sweaty, so I have to plan to give myself a nice cool down.

I am also in Ketosis, this is day 2

L: Little salad with feta, onion, tomo, olives, and feta. Paul Newman's Cesar Dressing.
Also finished off my taco salad meat from last night's dinner with sour creme and cheese. (wasn't much left, and didnt want it just sitting in there, so it wasn't overeating at lunch).

D: Baked chicken with melted pepper jack cheese and stir fry veggies, 1 cup

A great way for me to eat this way and keep it cheap and other reasons, is to make enough at dinner and have left overs for lunch everyday... cause I know being ketosis, my meals will get smaller

I love checking out LC forum while im cooking dinner! Keeps me from eating while cooking ya know ?

Swifty1014 · 08-24-2006, 08:33 PM

Ok, here is what I ate today:

B: sausage, green tea

S: celery cream chesse

L: left over chicken / veggies, little cheese

D: Salad with bacon, turkey, feta, dressing etc..
Had abt 6 shrimp with cocktail sauce

WATER

Need to watch my results after this week, may need to cut back on cheese. I am trying to watch it. Need to eat more eggs too, but i have trouble getting up in time in the morning.. workin on it

Swifty1014 · 08-25-2006, 04:10 PM

Another stressful day at work, hopefully this weekend will go smoothly. I have 4 big weddings this weekend, and unknown to the customers I did all of their cakes today for tomorrow

I am pretty tired right now.
Mom and I made a deal, if I lose 20 by my birthday (oct 14th) she will buy me a treadmill. AWESOME. I've wanted one for so long, its my fav way to excerise. I think I can lose more then that by then.

I am in about 4 days now and I dont think I am in deep ketosis just yet, just about moderate. No cravings, but hungry pains for sure.

I also treated myself to a new scale, because my old one was wacky! Numbers just all over the place. So, I spent a little extra $ and got a nice one ill be confident in.

B: Skipped, overslept
S: SF jello, diet pepsi, string cheese
L: Shrimp, broc, cali with ranch, water
D: Eggs and bacon. Green tea

Water..

G,night

Swifty1014 · 08-30-2006, 07:38 AM

This week is so crazy busy. First week back to school, ive already had to miss. Trying to help my mom move, though she is so disorganized and not packed!! I was gone from 7-after 10 last night. My mom and brother wanted to stop at fast food real quick to eat and I didnt. I said to myself im sticking to plan and I will just go home and make something. I just have a few mins to post,

At work yesterday, there as these little recipe cards laying by my cake area that were for low carb recipes. I was like... how did these get here? is this a sign?

There is a couple I would like to try when things slow down.

Menu:

B: Sausage, green tea
L: left over chicken stry fry with soy sauce ( found one with 0 carbs!)
D: I have no idea whats for dinner, my frig is low

By the way, thanks Monet for the encourgement ! I saw that you posted no loss for this week. Its going to happen to the best of us, but we keep going because we shall get there !!!!!

Much

monet0329 · 08-30-2006, 09:42 AM

Thanks hun

.. and you must post those recipes for me PPWWWWEEAASSEEEEEEEEE.. hehe..
I just love trying new things..

.. and good for you for not caving at the fast food.. but remember.. you can always get a cheese burger or chicken sand. just dont eat the bun... not sure where they wanted to go.. but just keep that in mind

..
have a great day!..

I will post recipes here when I get around to trying them lol There are lots I want to try. I am going to make one day / dinner a week dedicated to trying something new at least for now while im in the beginning of my new WOL. Thursday nights might be the best for me to that. hmmm

Also, fast food works because its not just fast but it can be ALOT of food fast. I was addicted to it being a full time student and working. I would over eat and eat my emotions. I made the promise to myself to do this and get this weight off as soon as I had my own place. As much as I may struggle, I am not looking back.
Oh and the part about the bun lol I am afraid I wont be able to give it up or I might give in to fries or something im not suppose to have. I dont want to live in this fear forever or stay away from others eating whatever they like. Its just the beginning, and I need to work on my problems and eventually, I wont have such a strong connection with food and everyday life.

Thanks for posting. Your suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciated!
