BRING IT!!!

DisneyPrincess · 07-09-2007, 07:11 AM

Hello Hello

I am starting a journal here because I have a wedding to go to in 12 weeks and I have some pounds that have crept back on that WILL be off by then.
I was sick with mono and could not work out for over a month and a half, hence the weight gain.

I need to be held accountable, so I figure why not start here. I am a slow loser and do this on purpose as to not lose muscle if I don't have to.

Long Term Goal:
~ lose 8 pounds by 10/5/2007
Short Term Goals:
~ Whole foods, NO SUGAR
~ 4-5 meals a day
~ 1-2 reasonable free meals a week
~ 3-4 weight workouts a week
~ cardio as necessary
~ 4L water a day

Than you better start eating

DisneyPrincess · 07-09-2007, 03:01 PM

Todays eats:
1: veggie egg white omelet, oats
2: grilled catfish, brown rice, mixed veggies
PWO: 50g carbs of popcorn, 1 scoop pp
4: egg whites, oats
5: protein shake, strawberries

Already feeling better with a more moderate carb approach.

Just finished my weight workout. Tomorrow I have another one and possibly some cardio depending on time.

stews · 07-09-2007, 07:03 PM

glad you are allready feeling better. you will be back where you want in no time.

DisneyPrincess · 07-10-2007, 01:01 PM

Thanks Stews

Back from the gym. I had a decent weight workout. I really lost some strength while I was sick, hopefully I'll get it back soon. I also did 1 set of body weight exercises and then 20 minutes on the bike. It feels so good to be back in the swing of things!

Eats are right on and I plan on keeping them that way!
Me and DH were up late last night watching a movie and slept in so I will probably only get in 4 meals today. I will make them a bit larger to get in all my calories

Pleiades · 07-10-2007, 01:25 PM

Jackie - I just want to say what an inspiration you've been to me! I've been so impressed with your journey and transformation. Thank you for all the great info you give, especially in the Muscle Matters forum!

And I'm also a western NYer transplanted to NC

I almost went to college in Fredonia, went to Brockport instead.

The OUtter Banks is beautiful, we have family there. We are actually moving right outside of CHarlotte in a few weeks

DisneyPrincess · 07-11-2007, 09:34 AM

Went to see the new Harry Potter movie at midnight. I was SO tempted by the popcorn there, that is my weakness! But, I didnt have any and was rewarded with a .2lb drop on the scale. I think I have shed my water weight, now onto fat burning!

Rest day today, I am sore from my workout yesterday

stews · 07-11-2007, 09:42 AM

GREAT job on not giving into the popcorn temptation!

I'm proud of ya, Jackie girl!

PamF · 07-12-2007, 10:43 AM

Jackie, I am copying my post to Sunabee because I mentioned you in it:

Sunabee:

I stumbled across your weight loss journal while browsing these boards and want to tell you how inspiring your posts are. You have such a great attitude about life and I enjoy reading your success and struggles with weight issues. It is comforting to know that we all have similar struggles from time to time. I am only on page 32 of your journal but wanted to ask you a question. Around pages 30-32, you are on a 100 Day Clean Eating Challenge coached by Jackie. I am curious about this plan because I am trying to eat healthier while still losing weight. I have lost 74 pounds doing Atkins in the last 2-3 years, but have struggled with the last 15-20 pounds for over a year now. I have been doing many strict plans, including meat & egg, kimkins, etc., only to lose 10 or so, and then go off plan and gain it back. I would like to try to take the last 15-20 pounds off with a healthy plan. Please let me know if you or Jackie would like to share your plan with me. I would appareciate any input you would have.

Thank you.

Pam

stews · 07-12-2007, 11:04 AM

JACKIE rocks! just sayin'! GOOD MORNING!

DisneyPrincess · 07-12-2007, 03:41 PM

Thank Stews!
Pam- PM me when you can

Another nice day with DH here

We bought a new bedroom set, new mattresses and new coffee tables and end tables for our living room

We are moving in a week and bought a lot of new stuff since we are going to be in a brand new home!

Took a free meal today. We stopped at Coldstone. I had the sugar free, fat free ice cream with brownie and graham cracker, and a bit of peanut butter.

Puts me at around maintenance for the day so I am totally cool with it. I am really loving not worrying so much about dieting, and not because I am eating "junk" but because I know it is OK!

Tomorrow I'll hit the gym for sure though. Oh, and I got new running sneakers so I can get back out there and run when it cools down a bit!

DisneyPrincess · 07-13-2007, 07:22 AM

Weight down another .2lb today. Nice

Will hit the gym later for weights and some cardio.

I bought new sneakers yesterday I want to try out. I will be running the Charlotte half marathon in December so I need to get some running under my belt before training begins. It is so freakin humid though. I might have to start running in the evenings. I am NOT a morning person! I'll see how things go once we move

PamF · 07-13-2007, 10:15 AM

Jackie, I sent you a PM.

DisneyPrincess · 07-13-2007, 02:57 PM

Got it

Went to the gym. Ham dominant day followed by a 2 mile run on the TM. I am slowly easing back into my runs. I need/want to get outside again soon but know I'm not quite there

I did find a training schedule for the half marathon that starts me 18 weeks out, builds my millage up nice and slow, I start August 4th

Eats have been right on today and I'm feeling good. I guess I really do need those carbs to function!

DisneyPrincess · 07-14-2007, 12:21 PM

weights and 20 minutes on the bike DONE

Enjoying a protein shake and some cinnamon toast rice cakes..YUM

Weight back up a bit today...water follies

Mondays are going to be my official weigh ins

stews · 07-14-2007, 12:27 PM

MORNING! my weight was up a bit too. a WHOPPIN 2/10ths of a pound from what is in my siggy

I actually was surprized a little because I feel thin today. guess it was all in my head

.

ok, I'm kidding with you a little. I am up but I don't care about 10ths of pounds. I know I'm going to fluctuate, just was surprized I'm not down a little since I've been on plan no problems lately. probably has something to do with the weather in all honesty. I need to try and get more water in. it's harder to do lately, for some reason.

have a good day, jackie!

DisneyPrincess · 07-14-2007, 12:51 PM

You brat!!

I was up .8lbs and I know it is just water. I am going to take a weekly average I think to see trends. Since I am eating A LOT different than I have in a long time it is interesting to see how the scale plays along

LOL!

that's kind of why I way sometimes. I want to know how my body responds to different things. sometimes it's just out of plane curiosity though, lol. I just have to be careful of it not affecting me if it doesn't show what I expect or want. usually, I can handle it, even if my first reaction is disappointment, it doesn't typically last longer that that initial moment. if it does, then I stay off the scale for a while until I know I can handle it no matter WHAT it says.

DisneyPrincess · 07-15-2007, 01:53 PM

I totally forgot to weigh today

Tomorrow is official weigh in. It will be one week on my new eats.

Me and DH went to see Transformers today. AWESOME movie. DH got popcorn and I didnt even have a bite

Eats are on and if it doesnt rain I am going to go for a short run after dinner

DisneyPrincess · 07-15-2007, 04:06 PM

I did it!!

I ran outside- wow, is it HUMID! I did 25 minutes at a nice steady pace. My goals until I start training are just to run with no millage or time goals..need to get my endurance up again

DisneyPrincess · 07-16-2007, 07:21 AM

stews · 07-16-2007, 10:18 AM

I'm proud of you, Jackie. you are doing GREAT!

PamF · 07-16-2007, 12:44 PM

Jackie:

After PMing you, I have been reading some on how calorie restriction hurts your metabolism and looking at my own numbers. If you use the 12X your weight for dieting, that would be around 2,100 calories for me. I then went to fitday to see how many calories I usually take in to lose weight and found that I have to stay around 1,200 or lower to lose any weight. I cannot even imagine eating 2,100 calories a day. This just blows me away.
