EwAshActin's Diary

congrats on the musical!!!! I was involved in theatre in high school and I loved it!!! It is such a huge time commitment, and i'm so glad that you love doing it and are getting the chance to do it. What show are you doing?
 
Oh man, sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. It was Grease and I loved it!
 
Finally Back Again

So yes. It's been awhile yet again. I JUST finished my musical. It went great. And the funny things is that I made a comment in here way back when about someone having to pick me up. Well, the last dance of the show, my partner had to catch me and hold me up and it happened! I was soooo happy! Well, when I first started the show I lost another five pounds due to all the dancing and such a long with me still working out. But then, I got too tired to work out and my eating habits became terrible! We didn't get out of rehearsals until after 10 or later so THAT's when I would eat dinner. And the cast kept going out to resteraunts every night so not only was I eating at a bad time, but I was also eating unhealthy food. PLUS sometimes I would just have to crash at people's houses and in the morning grab breakfeast sandwhich from McDonalds and Jack in the Box. Sunday wasour last show night and on Monday I began eating healthy again and worked out. I REALLY want to slim down. It's such a good feeling.

Can anyone give me some advise on what sort of work outs or foods will help me slim down faster??
 
Hey you! Glad to have you back! You should check out the 20 pound club!! I don't know what it BEST FOR YOU, but what I've been doing is a 1200 cal diet. Works real well for me. Good luck!
 
Wow, thanks! I definetly check it out. My mom started doing the ABS DIET and she's got me doing it too. Perhaps that, exercise, and a 1200 cal a day plan will work great!!! And it's great to be back here!:p
 
So, I talked with my really good friend the the night before last about my self-confidence and weight issues. She used to think she was fat, which I didn't ever see, but now she is soooo skinny we're all a bit worried about her. She weighs about 94 pounds, but actually that's only a little on the thin side for her height. She's like maybe 5 feet. It's just that she feels like people use to call her fat and now she's paranoid. She was diagnosed with PCOS as well, but does not have the weight gain as a side effect. Lucky her. It's something that has caused me to lack self confidence when it comes to relationships.There are things I love about myself, but in the business that I'm in, there are tons of girls around me with better bodies, and I see them being the ones asked out by the people I want to be noticed by. I keep telling myself that I'm attractive and that I will be just like all the other girls when I lose weight. That's my motivation. I have gotten back on track since my show ended. Eating healthier and working out. I might have said this before, but, ya know that commercial about wanting faster rewards and the guy weighs himself, runs around the gym once and tries to weigh himself again, hoping that he's lost weight? That's me. I like working hard for what I want, but, I feel like I've been overweight for so long I just want to stop working soooo hard at it and let it just happen as fast as it does for everyone else. Am I a horibble person for saying that i envy my friend for how easily the pounds fell off her? Even if she's too skinny now? In our society, too skinny is better than being too fat.
 
you don't sound awful at all! What normal person wouldn't be envious of someone who seems to have dropped alot of weight easily? Just remember the old saying "you didn't put the weight on overnight, its not going to come off overnight either"
 
So a newer bad habit that I need to quit is eating at 3 in the morning. Receantly I have been staring up until four or five with my friends and before we would go to resteruants at all hours and I would order terrible food. Last night I went out with my friends Jen, James, and Gary to Steak n' Shake at about 2AM. Jen and I agreed it wasn't good for us to eat so we passed and had waters while the guys chowed down. Sad thing was when we both got in the car to go home...we both admitted we were hungry at that we would surely be eating when we got back to our homes. Me, I at a bowl of Eddy's Light ice cream and then hit the sack at about 4:20AM. This is awful, but because my sleeping schedule is so mess up, THAT's when I get hungry. I just have to deny myself next time and get back in the habit of proper eating time I suppose.

So today, I've had two slices of whole grain bread with Canola Oil (sp?) on them and a cup of Green Tea. Next up motivation to work out.
 
Way Off The Bandwagon...

Holy crazy it's been forever since I wrote in here. But it's also been forever since I really worked out and exercised. Between school full-time and Webster University and three jobs I have been choosing sleep over much physical activity. And Now that I'm on break I have been choosing friends since they will all be back at school for another couple of months. If I was smart, i would have tried to pick up my "diet" and exercising habits while I have all this time off. No such luck. I've just lost all motivation. Don't get me wrong I have plenty motivation to do it, but once i get to the gym and get on the eliptical I become bored and tired and want to give up. And yes, I could very my routines, but I can't afford to take work-out classes or anything like that. And as far as food goes, I either don't have enough money to varie it or make healthier choices. I stopped taking my birth control reacently so I lost like 15 pounds from that. Seriously. But If I were still on them I would have gained about 20pounds from what I lost last year. That makes me REALLY sad and self-concious. Although the good thing is that I know I can do it again if I set my mind to it. I just really need to sit down and figure out a "healthy" schedule that will fit around my classes and work. Taht's going to be hard, but I have to do it. For health reasons I need to get more in shape.
