Rawr means it's TTOTM

Apr 20 2009 17:31

Grrr!!!! It's TTOTM and I am a MESS!!!!! Emotionaly...I broke down last night after Aaron left to go home...don't know why cause it was a really great weekend....if ya know what I mean ;-)

But today...I have had NO energy and I have been craving...the fridge and the freezer and the cupboards...and basicly anything salty, sugary or not good for me...

I'm ready for bed again...

RAWR!

Eh Blah...

Apr 15 2009 08:47

I've been eating better...but I haven't been tracking my calories and I haven't been working out as much.

I am going be to working on both of those....okay so...

Tonight for supper...French onion soup with gouda croutons.

I am no longer going to do the 30 day shred...I've lost all respect for Jillian Micheals....Last week on Biggest Loser she *attempted* to demonstrate Kettlebells....first off she said she learned from a dvd...NO!!! Then her Clean and press was TERRIBLE! And she couldn't do a basic swing. If she is showcasing this to millions of americans and they are going to try this at home...there will be a lot of people getting hurt. Oh yeah...she used a 6 lb bell. Jillian sweety...your ass will not get big if you use heavy weights! 6 LBS COME ON! I use 26 lbs for my clean and press! 40 for my swings! Come on!!! So if anyone wants to do kettlebells take a class and make sure your instructor is RKC! Trust me if they are RKC you will know they will say that they are RKC...it is very important!

So....anyone have any good workout dvd's? I would love to add one in...possibly a yoga one or maybe a dance type one...

I am also thinking about trying the stairclimer at the gym tomorrow night...not sure tho.

Day 2

Apr 08 2009 10:31

I get to eat more...yay! I re-evaluated my calorie target and realized that I get to eat about 300 more calories a day than I had been! I had my activity level set to sedentary and well..I'm not sedentary...and with my workouts and active job...I was having to add close to 500-800 cals a day just to get to a 1000 calorie deficit...so after re-evaluating on my really active days I will have to add 200-300 cals a day and my less active I will be hiting my target perfectly! I had been eating at 1371 and after changing it it went to 1662. I am going to see how this impacts my rate of loss...I am thinking it will speed it up because before I would do good for half the day then in the evening I would be really hungry and eat a bunch and completly throw my balance off...so I think this will better fill me up and keep me full throughout the day...which will lead to me losing more weight! Yay! I am 15 lbs away from my goal! Woohoo!. yummy meals planned for today...already had breakfast and one snack... breakfast was yogurt, 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese and a fiber one bar...right around 300 cals. Snack was 11 saltine crackers with 2 slices of american cheese for 220 cals. Lunch I am having a salad with ranch dressing, and chicken with broccoli and steamed rice....for about 485 cals. Supper will be brown rice with roasted chicken and roasted veggies... about 650 cals. Snack for the afternoon will be 3/4 cup of cottage cheese for 122 cals. Grand total of 1848 cals consumed....and I am supposed to burn about 2970 cals so I will have a deficit of about 1100 cals. And I get to eat a crap load of food to!

Day 1 part 2

Apr 07 2009 23:49

So I cheated...on my first day...but it wasn't bad...I still ended up with a 600 calorie deficit...I had Chinese food...and it was DELICIOUS! I don't regret it for a minute....and I didn't do the 30 day shred....but I did go to the gym and went on the elliptical for 25 minutes...I did the hills option which is a real workout for the legs...burnt right around 360 calories there.

Tomorrow I will be better....I'm going to have oatmeal for breakfast....some chinese for lunch....cottage cheese for a mid morning snack....yogurt for a pre-work snack and brown rice with veggies for supper.

I will also be working tomorrow and will do kettlebells....so I should have yet another good deficit! Yay!

Day 1 part 1

Apr 07 2009 09:05

So it is a little past 9 in the morning of day 1 of my recommitment to myself....I woke up early...took my vitimans, got breakfast in within 30 minute of waking up (the optimal time to jumpstart your metabilism) took my little brother to school, made my shopping list, ate a mid morning snack (2 hours after eating breakfast to keep metabolism going and blood sugar level) and am about to get ready to go shopping.

I can eat 1800 cals today because of the fact that I am going to be working today (daycare about 500 cals) I am going to be walking while shopping, will do the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred, and will do the elliptical later tonight....

For breakfast I had....

Spark (45 cals)

2 homeade breakfast burrito's.... using 2 whole eggs, 1/4 cup cheese, 1 tablespoon salsa, 2 flour tortilla's for a grand total of.... 492 cals

mid morning snack....

1/4 cup roasted and salted sunflour kernals...220 cals

14 baby carrots....35 cals

I am going to have 2 cups of turkey chili with beans tonight for supper which will be 200 cals

and I am thinking for lunch I will pick up a salad somewhere and put some of it into a Pita for a yummy nutritious "sandwich".

Mid afternoon snack will probably be cottage cheese with some fruit. Not sure tho...

more later for a recap of my day with calorie totals both consumed...and burned with deficit total...along with how I felt all day....

Time to jump in the shower and get ready to go...

Back to it!

Apr 06 2009 16:54

Ok I need to get back to it...I haven't counted or journaled or any of that good stuff in a really long time! I think part of the reason is my boyfriend...no I am not blaming him and it is for a good reason ...I think I haven't counted or journaled or anything like that in a while because he is always telling me how he loves me just the way I am and how he thinks I am beautiful just the way I am so I haven't been as motivated to lose the last 15 lbs. I know stupid reason but it's true! Lol...good thing is that I have not gained at all since I stopped counting.

However...I am going to re-commit myself and start counting again and eating better and all of that good stuff...for a couple of reasons...

1. I did not start losing weight for him, I started losing weight long before I even met him and I need to continue losing weight...for me.

2. I want to reach my goal....

3. I want to feel beautiful without him telling me

4. Summer is coming up which means...swimsuits (hopefully a 2 peice by the end of the summer)...shorts, tank tops....bbq's, and just general lazy adventure days where neither one of us knows where we are going to end up

5. His mom is an amazing cook and if I am going to be over there a lot...I need my weekends to be my cheat days lol!

6. I want him to continue to be proud of me!

so....I am going to try to journal at least a couple of times a week...and will count every day during the week...the weekends will be my cheat days! However the weekends won't cause too much damage because his mom cooks with organic food and makes healthy dishes....

I will also work on restarting the Jillian Micheals 30 day shred...I might not do it every day...I am thinking on my Non-kettlebell days (which are my cardio days) so 3-4 days a week I will be working out 2 times a day...25-30 minutes on the elliptical (which is anywhere between 275-400 cals burned) and 30-45 minutes of the dvd or however long that is...combined with 2-3 days of Kettlebells a week which can burn close to 700-800 cals an hour...I am going to be looking good by July 15th...I chose this date because it is not only mid summer, but it is also Aaron and my 6 month anniversary.

So as for today...I have eaten crap and probably will not go to the gym because I am still suffering from a 2 day migrane...fun fun...I will start everything tomorrow...and I mean it!

Lastly...I am hoping that I can find someone that can keep me accountable....ok maybe not keep me accountable but if I haven't journaled in a couple of days just message me and remind me to journal or something or just remind me to keep going...sometimes I get discouraged for no real reason.

HE'S HOME!!!!! HE'S HOME HE'S HOME HE'S HOME!!!

Mar 09 2009 18:28

AARON IS HOME!!!! I spent the last 2 days with him...met him at the airport on Saturday at like 5:30...we went back to his mom's house, had supper there....went bowling with his brothers....then went back to my house (which is like an hour and a half away) and he spent the night. Saturday night it was storming like crazy and we were in his truck...parked just talking...and kissing...and he looked me in the eyes and told me that he loved me...that he had never loved a woman the way he loves me. Then he kissed me...and it was amazing. Of course I told him that I love him too...cause I do. We got back to my house at like 3 am...and went to sleep...being in his arms just feels sooo right! We slept most of Sunday then got dressed and went out to eat and came back home and he spent the night again. Then today we got up and I took my little brother to school and then we layed in bed for a while longer...just holding eachother....it feels so perfect in his arms...I feel so safe with him! He makes me feel beautiful all the time...whether I am dressed up nice or wearing shorts and a tank top for bed...with no makeup. I am honestly in love for the very first time....I love him so much! I can see myself spending the rest of my life with him! :-)

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Jan 29 2009 17:44

Happy Birthday to me tomorrow! I'm going to be 20!!! Holy Shit when did that happen lol! Happy birthday to you too Kelliegh!

So far this year has been great (All 29 days of it!) The main reason my year/ month has been so great? Aaron. He is amazing. I am so incredibly happy with him and I am not even physcially with him. We are thousands of miles apart and I feel closer to him than I have ever felt to any guy! He makes me so happy, he makes me feel beautiful, happy, I feel like i can really be myself around him. We talk for hours every night, he texts me every morning to say good morning, he is so caring and amazing and he listens to me and cares about me, and he knows my family, he knows me, he asks how work is going...he is just amazing...oh and he is beyond sexy! Lol! He is so damn hot...I've caught myself a sexy marine! Lol! I can't wait till he gets home...just a little over a month! :-)

Why I love the marines...

Jan 18 2009 23:16

Why do I love the marines? Could it be because my boyfriend is a marine? Why yes...yes it is! And no this isn't the same guy I talked about before...that didn't work out...which is a great thing because if it had, I wouldn't have met my amazing marine Aaron...Aaron is sweet, caring, loving, hot, sexy, amazing, tough...all around awesome...and he is done with the marines in 48 days...then he is home to stay! I'm so excited for March 6th when he gets home and I get to be with him. Another thing I love is the fact that he is so incredibly supportive of me...he has told me that he supports me 10000% in my weight loss and that he is so incredibly proud of my for losing the 52 lbs already. I do believe that I may be falling in love...
