I dropped 3 pounds this week so now I am at a total loss of 13 pounds. I am feeling so motivated! I think kicking up the cardio up a notch helped. I did 5 days of cardio instead of just 4. It's awesome! I am also only 7 pounds away from my LA trip weight loss goal of 195. I can drop 7 pounds in 2 weeks! I totally can!
Tomorrow we are having a potluck at school and to be honest I am scared to death. Scared I will overeat and scared I won't be able to stop. I need to somehow find a way to have self control to prove to myself that I can handle anything that comes my way. I am in control, the food doesn't control me! Wish me luck!
This guy totally inspires me. He has lost 140 pounds and he just seems like an awesome person. Not to mention he is easy on the eyes. :P He also keeps a blog called Tooth By Tooth.
2 1/2 more weeks to go until my vacation!
I'm down 11 pounds since starting my weight loss journey on May 19th and that means I have dropped 2 pounds for my June Challenge. I'm feeling tired though. I guess I blame my late nights. I'm getting up at 5 am to workout but I am still going top bed between 11:30pm and midnight. I'm still doing my 200 AB workouts in the evening and I still hate them!
School is coming to an end. Had one final today and I have another on Friday.
Tomorrow is my last day at my internship office. There has been no further discussion as far as a summer part-time position. I really hope she asks me.
Dating life still blows and I am in the phase where I am totally fine with that. I am too motivated to drop this weight right now and be the best me that I can. I know eventually I will attract the right man. Even if he turns out to be 7 years younger. I'm attracted to younger men lately and its driving me crazy.
I have quickly become fascinated with the vlogs on youtube. I find myself watching them into the wee hours of the morning. So, why not jump on board and vlog myself?? I posted my first one yesterday. Unfortunately I do not feel like posting the link on here since by doing so I will lose anonymity. By posting weekly vlogs I think it will help keep me accountable. Much like that of attending a weigh-in at a Weight Watcher's meeting. I know people are watching me and I already have a few subscribers who will be notified each time I post a new video.
Anyhow my update for the week is I have lost 8 pounds already! Woohoo! I only went over my calorie count one day this week and it was only over by 130 calories. All the other days I have been 100-200 under my maximum amount which is 1,630 calories. I am just going to aim for 2-3 pounds loss this week. If I end up losing more than that is fine!
Today was my 3rd day of working out and it happened to be a cardio day. I wanted to sleep in a bit but forced myself to get up and just get it over with. I'm glad I did! I had a pretty good day eating too. I had 1,319 calories. I definitely could have eaten more but I wanted to try and stay closer to the 1200 calorie mark. And I know all this is completely going against what I said a few days ago. Honestly, I can't stick with the cereal plan. I will bore too quickly and fall off the wagon again. I can't afford to fail anymore.
I know counting calories works for me and it takes some discipline and extra steps such as planning ahead and journaling food intake but weightloss is never easy.
I started watching several videos tonight on Youtube in which the vlog's were endorsing anorexia as a solution to their weight loss. I think it's so sad. A girl had even commented to encourage another "pro-anorexic" to not give up on the idea of Anorexia. in fact she said "Just remember, Ana loves you and will never fail you." Those words are the biggest lie anyone could ever say or believe. Ana fails. Ana will fail you miserable because Ana steals your life away slowly sucking every last bit of life from your fragile body. Eventually Ana can kill you.
Another person posted a comment giving advice saying "Starve!! but if you feel like eating, just take whatever your craving and chew it. then spit it out in a cup. and between chewing drink hot tea with no sugar. After that you will really feel full! it always works for me! good luck."
