AM snack: 120 juice acai drink during a nice 20-25 minute walk.
Breakfast, weird: dried seaweed snack 60, milk 150, soy chips (other package from the other day! haha) 150:
total early morning: 480. fine!
snacks during my "work day" ...volunteering a full day, but shoud be VERY fun....i'm bringing a few bars, coffee, water. will update this later.
maybe more walking later. see ya.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
at the moment, i'm weighing around 131. of course i will not be changing 130 back to 131....but i have still a bit of a way to go to get to 129 without DRASTIC measures. I am totally not inclined to do anything drastic right now!
breakfast: weird again. seaweed snack 60, soy chips140, milk 150 (and a snack earlier during a 15 min walk - 50 cal) total: 400 GOOD.
update: haha, finally had a loadfull of veggies for dinner. so good. and shrimp. from a good chinese restaurant. ate the entire takeout quart. so good! so hungry.
calories: around 2300?
exercise: 45 min cardio, but just cardio throughout the day. no gym.
there are some days and my body craves that darn massage so badly!! but i can't unless i weigh my required 129. the massage is a GIFT for my success and not lack of. i won't cave, but darn, i really want it! I've scheduled it for the 14th....i should definitely be 129 by then!? gonna try harder..

long successful day, girlies!
calories around 2200-2500. very fine. i don't feel i'm losing weight, but i don't really feel i'm gaining. i do feel good lately.
exercise: 1 hr and 45 min weights. cardio throughout the day (some in AM some in PM), around 45 min total worth of cardio.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
exercise: around 3.5 mi.
i now walk 10 min back and 10 min forth to work everyday from where I park my car ... 20 min is like a mile...so that's good. after that, i walked around 3 mi more at the park. it's good to get in a little exercise earlier in the day so i don't have so much to do later...and i can get home at a more decent time!
calories are still high: 2250-2300. right now, i can't seem to eat less. i'm up many hours and i get really hungry. thing is, i'm not gaining weight, so it's ok. i think i may still be losing weight. my black jeans were looser today when i got home, i noticed this in the leg area, of all places! nice.
i really can't concentrate on keeping calories low right now, i'm just trying hard to keep them in this range. and it's working - which is why i haven't really changed my plan thus far!
i was feeling bloated Mon/tues. and i still do, but my weight is still in the 131-132 area. nice.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Keep it up!!!!
sorry for lack of comments on my part. I like to do it on the weekend...so this weekend hopefully i'll get onto that!
anyways, weights were superb. enough cardio.
2300 or so calories.
awesome day.

I MUST work harder on keeping calories down if I want to lose more weight! But, there hasn't been binging and calories are still relatively normal...and that is wonderful.
i think 2300...a bit much, but it's ok, i planned a little poorly.
exercise: 3.5 miles.
goodnight.
(yesterday's calories were more around 2050-2100)

ohhh, man it's 3am and i can't sleep! I am so restless, thinking about the week ahead.

bed early so i can survive these next 13 days...i'm working 13 days straight with an extra day of volunteering next saturday from 9-4.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
breakfast: grapefruit 80, yogurt 160, oatmeal 160, slice of tasty bread 80: 480. good. late breakfast, very hungry from last night having two granola bars and decaf coffee for dinner/after my workout!
4.5 mi walk.
2450 calories. a bit high, a bit overindulged, but i am not regretting anything! :-) good exercise!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If i have any advice at all, LIFTING WEIGHTS would be it! I truly believe that the reason I can eat so many calories and still be able to lose/maintain weight is for the reason that I lift weights. My cardio has been so-so - I haven't been able to do it for as LONG as I want to. Cardio for me is the elliptical or walking. A good walk for me is over 3 miles, 4 is best. Any more than four is icing on the cake...haha, a good analogy, of course!
Lifting weights has caused my body to burn calories at a better and faster rate and my muscle burns more calories than fat. I am so happy that I love to lift weights and I'll never stop. I have been eating upwards of approximately 2000-2300 calories per day and i'm still in weightloss mode....slow, but it's going down. That is GREAT.
From my past experiences, and i do have plenty, I know I am losing weight in a good way when i cannot tell i'm getting thinner. The pace is slow, not rapid, so i don't feel it right away. Results are not instant, but they will be lasting. This is compared to a rapid weightloss where the weight lost is such an instant shock to the body, i've always wanted to binge and the weight comes back sooner. I am happy.
I've lost about 5 pounds since beginning this job I think. 5 lbs since around the last week of January 2011. that's good. that's success. It is true that it doens't matter how fast you lose the weight, it's not a race, ladies.
The above paragraph being said, it's also true that i'd love to be a rock solid muscle machine and weigh 115. But, there is a means to an end. A PROCESS. you cannot just skip doing the challenge, the hard work, to weightloss and be thin. even with lyposuction and all those weightloss tools out there - you will still be challenged to maintain your low weight or continue to lose weight.
In my life, maintenance was always the hardest part. But now I understand it better, far better, I will still need to learn more how to maintain when I get to a weight that I am comfortable with.
When I do reach 129, the new goal will be 127. I will get another massage at 127. But first, I need to reach 129 :-) So excited. It may not seem like a lot of pounds, just a couple in fact, but it's weightloss. And it could take a whole month! haha, hopefully not?
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
saturday morning entry:
130 pounds! so close to my goal! yeah!
friday night entry:
gym was cut short. didn't finish weights. ran into hot guy from gym at 7-11 and we were chatting. i want him.!?
calories were great. 2150-2200 or so. perfecto.
day was busy.
worked till 4:30, drove to teach music lessons and got there less than 5 minutes early at 6pm...lots of traffic. taught till 8:30, got to the gym a little after 9. exercised till 10. came home by 10:40 after stopping along the way for coffee and granola bars.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 1 lbs to go!
Friday morning: strange breakfast: dried seaweed 120, coconut water 40, yogurt 120, bread 90: 350. good.
Thursday entry:
calories are between 2250-2300.
no exercise because i didn't have time today. I worked and taught 3 music lessons (but after tonight there will be NO music lessons and I will have another free night for the gym, thankfully!) I'm gonna miss teaching these students, but i need to also put some care into treating myself right, too. and sitting all day, plus sitting teaching lessons, is too much if i can't get any exercise in too.
Progress as of today: 4 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
