Yay after finally figuering out this eating + gym thing I have finally started losing again!!!!! I am down a little over 7lbs!!! I was so excited!! So I have learned that I have to eat to lose ..period the end. I am really liking this zig zag meal planning...one day 1700 calories the next 1900 or so..cause there have been days this week that I know I hit over 2000 calories! And I still lost! I really like the feeling of knowing I can do this..not over night but in the long run.
I did not gain it over night yet, I so badly want to take it off over night...and eating is the answer.So I have decided to set goals... my first one will be 200 lbs ....then I will take an accounting of what methods worked and what didn't.... I will never starve my body again. ( My weight of this goal is 213)
I have stared lifting weights to gain muscle.( because if I am going to be big and stalky I would rather it be muscle than fat) 40 min of cardio and then I either work my legs or i work my chest, shoulders, arms... I am burning about 900 calories per day just doing that. My husband ( an angle on earth just for me) suggested that I eat before I go to the gym ( because I wasn't and I was tiring out so badly) even if it is just a peice of fruit...and so I have and my work out is going so much better...I have alot ( and I mean A L O T ) more energy though out my days now.
Till next time may all your dreams be blessing bestowed upon you in Gods time>:)

Well today was un-usual (sp) for me. I went ot the gym and started my work out on the treadmill and it seemed a little difficult to get my heart up to speed. I was at 15% incline at 5.0 speed and staying at about 135 bmp. I was irritated>:( Then I suddenly cramped about 1hr 45 min into my routine ( the routine that was going straight to hell in a hand basket ><) when it was time to go home>:( Oh well, I burned a little over 900 calories.
Tomarrow I am going to start lifting weights again. I will try to limit the aerobics to about 30 min - 45 min max!!! Then work on my crunches and strengthing my back. I think I will work my lower body on Saturdays and my upper body on Sundays. Maybe I still want to burn about 650 calories though so I am going to try and keep my heart rate up:P
I am slowly shuting off the negative self hate tape that has played so long in my internal dialoge.

Well I went to the gym..burned my 1300 calories. I am so glad to be home...it was not tiring as much as it was just me not wanting to do it:p I am looking forward to my husband coming home, he is getting his promotion today..Manager of Operations>:) I am so very proud of him. Well I feel good...I am very volitile though..think my hormones are playing havok with my mood stability. Oh, well tea time!

So after 4 days off ( due to the holidays) I am back at it ..though I managed to not gain all the lbs lost...I still gained back a little over 2lbs. I went to the gym today and burned my 1300 calories...I was starved!!!! So I ate some food..now I thought nuts were supposed to be good for you...well those nuts cost me about 400 calories..not sure I will do it again...I could have spent those calories on something a little more filling>:( But as they say....what you eat today...you wear tomarrow...NOTHING tastes as good as being healthy feels!

Then I go and do the same on wed...again about 1,200 calorie intake..I lost 3 lbs..but , today was hard. I got up and went to the gym...I had no energy...however I am stubborn and I burned my 1,300 calries...faster actually then I did on Tues...( 2hrs and 22 min) I managed to do it in 2hrs and 16min!! I was so hungry today though I ate a little over 1,300 hahaa...but I am hoping tomarrow will be better...thank goodness it is Fri. I know I am doing this a little fast but I am so tired of being fat...I insist on being a normal or close to normal weight by my 35th B-day...God help me...gosh...God help us all>:)
