Thinspo Challenge - Day 12

Day Twelve- What do you normally eat?

Here's my dailey routine. In the morning I would have coffee, morning snack; greek yogurt, lunch; slim fast or special k, unless I feel for some real food and try to get something healthy, Afternoon snack; something small, dinner, whatever it is for dinner, and some times it's a unhealthy version but if I go to the gym afterwards, I don't feel bad.

I want to change up my gym routine. So far, I've been going for a hour almost everyday and I'm not seeing much change in weight. So I'm going to try to wake up early so I can go to the gym in the morning for a hour. If I burn 500 cal in the morning and 500 in the even, then it's 1k for the day. I'm going to have to set my alarm clock for 5:30 in order for me to get up at 6 or else I'll keep hitting the reset button and the next thing you know, I'll have to go to work. Wish me luck.

Thinspo Challenge - Day Eleven

Day Eleven- Your favorite thinspo blog and why!

The only thinspo blog I know of is the Thinspirational Journey by Kyrstle Lane. I read her post everyday about how she's trying to live healthy and loose weight. When people comment on her blog, she automatically gets back them and I sent her a email about a question and she got back to me quickly. She suggest a lot of ways that people can lose weight. The thinspo challenge that I'm on came from her website. 

 I asked her a question before about how to deal with constipation. Here's what she said, maybe you guys can try it too.

"Constipation usually means that you are not in taking enough fiber in your system.
Eat more broccoli and drink lots and lots of water.
Try drinking 1 glass of warm lemon juice unsweetened in the morning.

Squeeze one Lemon into a mug and fill it warm water and then drink first thing in the morning.

Make sure you drink more than 7 glasses of water a day and don't eat too much processed food.

Try it for a week to 21 days."

So starting Monday, I will give this a try. If you've tried it before, comment and tell me how it worked for you.

Thinspo Challenge - Day Nine and Ten

I lost a day yesterday because it was to hectic at work and I usually do my blog first thing in the morning.

Day Nine- Did people ever make comments about your weight in a negative way?





Oh yes. I once went over one of my friends house and their mom made a comment, well multiple comments, about how much weight I gained. It was embarrassing. She asked, Who's been feeding me? and Why I gained that much? I laughed it off but I was thoroughly embarrassed. I'm not visiting her again until I lose my weight.

Day Ten- What was the hardest thing you gave up during this “weight loss.”

Salt and Vinegar chips. I love junk food but those are my favorite. Especially the Kettle brand. Every time I go to the store, I try my hardest to avoid the chips ale. When they are on sale at Whole Foods, it's like they are on every corner. LOL.

By the way, I checked my weight today and it's down to 153.8. As one of my friends would say, FIGHTING!!

30 Day Thinspo - Day Eight

Day Eight- Your workout routine.
This is so funny because yesterday was the first time for me going back to the gym. Well, I want my routine for me to be 30 minutes before work and 30 minutes after work, unless I go with someone and then I'll stay for a hour. I want to go for burning 1k a day in calories but right now I'm going to have to take it slow because I haven't be to the gym in so long. I'll make a post about the 1k when I get to it. Until then wish me luck.

Thinspo Day Six

Day Seven- Do your parents know you’re trying to lose weight? Do they care?

I haven't talk to my mom for over a year. I'm not going more into it because it's a rocky road. Yum!

I'm very happy that over the weekends, when I go to the Yellow Green Farmer's Market, I'm not giving in to the foods that's there. Before the weekend I was 154.2. After the weekend, I'm still 154.2. I didn't lose but I didn't gain either which is always good.

I came up with a goal that I want to be 120 by december. That means that I'm going to have to add exercise to my arsenal. In the mornings, I'm going to do 30 mins at the Gym. After work, 30 mins. Unless I have to go with someone else which will be a hour. I'm going to try to loose 1k cal everyday. Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted.

Thinspo - Day Six

Day Six- Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.

Well I would say that binge would be you eating something fatty and not caring if you gain weight from it or not. If that's the definition, I would say that I don't binge. Now if I eat something fatty, like the chinese food I had last night, I would try to keep it in reasonable portions.

Unless I eat something I don't know the calories of, like the egg roll, I'm not eating that unless I'm eating something very little. It's 372 cals, by itself. I didn't know that but now I do. I calorie count wise, I would've been good if I didn't have it but I still lost some weight so I'm not feeling that bad.

Thinspo - Day Five

Day Five- Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing it for you?

I'm doing it for no one else but me. I always wanted to wear certain clothes that would look great but my stomach always gets in the way. I would also love to wear a two piece swimsuit.

Not being truthful.

I really hate it when someone doesn't want to come forward and just admit something. Instead, they beat around the bust or they just ignore the question or suggest and continue with something else.

He knows he doesn't like animals. He says it everyday when the dog does something he does like or the bunny hopping around pooping because it doesn't want to use the litterbox.

They are animals. They are not like children but babies. They'll mess up, you'll clean up and then you try to make them understand what they did was bad, not wish that they would walk outside and disappear or get hit by a car. I hear this consistently and it's getting on my nerves.

Last night, the dog was barking so much that I had to go spray him the bottle. He tried to dodge me by going around the computer that's on the floor in the living room. Going around and not trying to knock it over. He says, the dog gotta keep away from his stuff or he'll open the door, let him walk out, and go to sleep, then wake up the next morning, close the door and get on with life. I swear I had to try with all my might not to spray him in the ear.

BTW, his girlfriend wants to become a veterinarian and there will be animals over the house sometimes. Not only that but if he acts like this with animals, what will he do when he have kids. Especially around their terrible twos when they want to touch and knock down everything. Will he just open the door and turns his back, no!

He needs to get use to things messing with his stuff and soon because my patients is wearing thin.

Thinspo Day Four

 One thing I hate about being a woman is that time of the month where my weight goes haywire. I've lost for lbs last week and now that I'm closer to that time, my weight is slowly going back up. I've been really strict on what I eat, even on fast food. Last night we had pizza and I went on live strong to see how much I could eat.

I ate a little over like, 165 calories, because I love papa johns pizza. I knowing me, if I didn't look it up, I would've eating 3 slices and all the buffalo wings so I'm very proud of myself. Now only if it wasn't my time of the month. Now I'm going to have to weight till it's past to be able to weight myself again.

Day Four- Your greatest fears about weight loss.

My greatest fears about weight loss is not losing the weight. I've been through a time where I would try my hardest for a week or so and nothing comes off. Now that's scary.

I Have No Choice

Earlier today, my girlfriend, told me that I can't vent to her about something that's bothering me because, for a lack of better words, they are meaningless, worthless, and a complete waste of her time. So now, unfortunately, I'm going to have to use my blog to vent. I didn't want to though. I wanted it to be positive and inspiring. But now I'm going to have to use it to get things off my chest that's bothering me.

It hurts to know that I can't tell her what's bothering me. She complains to me too and I don't say anything about it because I want her to tell me. I want to know what's bothering her and if I can do something about it. I'm not going to share anymore. I'm going to be blank. If she wants to do something that bothers me, I'll let her do it because it's not like my opinions matter.

It actually felt good to say that. I'm tired of stressing over something and know that she doesn't even care about why it bothers me. It's not only her either. It's ppl around me in general. There's SOMETHING wrong with me when I have a problem. Just because they are use to it happening doesn't mean that I am. It bothers me a lot and I just want some ppl to understand!! Why do I have to cry in a corner when everyone else is ok. Laughing, having causal conversation while something is bothering me and I can't share it or I'll get weird looks. I'm tried... just tired.

I need to get into the routine.

I have not been doing so good on the food intake for the calories. I need to be more strict. Yesterday I had chinese food for dinner and I'm also having it for lunch. My dinner has to be light. I also have to exercise more. I had the time to yesterday but choose not to which is not in my best interest.

Day Two- How tall are you? Do you like your height?

I'm 5'2 inches. I'm a average height for a woman. Even though it's hard for me to reach some items that are high, I'm really happy I'm no smaller.

Livestrong.com

I've been neglecting counting my calories for a while now and I need to start doing it again. It really did help in watching what I eat. I re-planned my calorie goal on livestrong.com, I highly recommend this site, and it says that I should eat 1041 a day. I should be able to lose 1.5 a week. I will also excerise on top of that, either skating, walking or going to the gym. Speaking of gym, I found out that it's better for me to do 30 mins everyday in the morning then going twice or three times a week in the evening for a hour. It keeps me energized and I'm not trying to kill myself. I'll see how it goes and if this plan works.
