Hope you have a great Christmas.
Thanks. Same to you. :]
It starts now.
Every single year, I tell myself, on January first...I don't want to wait until January first. I'm starting now. I've eaten my Christmas sweets. My sweet tooth has been more than satisfied. It starts now.
No more regular soda. Very little sugar. More fruits. More vegetables. More fruits. More protein. Less carbs.
My Mom gave me some healthy choice Ice cream bars; I'll be eating those instead of regular ice cream, and I won't be eating them every day. And most of all, I'm getting my ass on the eliptical. 30 minutes minimum 3 days per week, and two days of weight training.
I was doing so well before I went to california. I was well on my way...I've gained that all back, but it's temporary. It's going to go away!
Once I've made it back down to 169 lbs, I'm rewarding myself with a flip camcorder. They're so cute!
Tonight, I'm going to write out my plan of action. I will succeed.

I totally agree. IT is it's own reward. I'm trying to not let my life only revolve around weight loss. When I do that, bad things happen; I just stop eating, or I'll throw up, or something else stupid like that.
This way..I know that if I workout and eat right, not only am I going to lose weight, and look better, but I'm also going to get a new camcorder to start my vlog, etc.
I've realized numerous times that late night snacking is my weakness. I've also realized that I need to eat breakfast everyday! It will hopefully help me with the overeating.
This morning I had a big breakfast..well this afternoon. I didn't wake up til 1:00PM.
Breakfast:
8oz orange julius (made it myself. so goooooood)130 cals
3oz honey ham-125 cals
2 eggs-140 cals
1.5 cups cheerios w/ skim milk (also added some sugar subst)174 cals
Cheddar potaotes (equivalent to one small potatoe-left overs from the 24th)140 cals
Snack:
two chocolate chip cookies-180 cals
Meal:
bowl of soup-240 cals
cup of dr pepper-100 cals
meal:
tater tots-160 cals
Hamburger bun-110 cals
6oz-round bottom steak-324 cals
16 oz dr pepper-200 cals
colby monterey jack cheese-50 cals
snack:
healthy choice ice cream bar-140 cals
Total:2213..that's a lot
workout: 30 minutes on the eliptical- the screen is broken, so I'm not logging miles until I get new batteries. For now, it's just time.
I am in full control of this. The only thing stopping me from succeeding is myself.
Notes:
Drink more water
only one soda per day
lay off the sweets

Today I celebrated Christmas with Daddy, Andree, and my brother, Jacob. Dad got him a 22 rifle. I got a hundred dollar gc from Chase, and Andree got a seventy five dollar gc from chase.
Then we went to lunch at Pedro's-my favorite mexican food place; It was delish. Then Dad and Jacob went out shooting so Andree and I went to target and the mall. I got some cute stuff.
Food:
Meal
2 Beef tacos
Rice
Chips & Hot sauce
1/4 cheese crisp
Meal
1 beef taco
few chips
beans
Meal
Vegetable and steak soup
Ham and cheese grilled sandwich
pack of Pb crackers.
Workout:
30 minutes on eliptical. I wanted to quit after about ten minutes, but I pushed through.
I ended up running 2.9 miles and burning 318 calories.
That makes me feel good :]
Tomorrow we're driving up to payson, az with Mom and the brothers to see Grandpa.

Yesterday was my Day off. I went to Payson to visit my Grandpa. It was a lot of fun. We ate good food, watched a movie...and that's about it. :]
I don't know why, but I'm having a really hard time with junk food lately. I've never had that problem before; it's usually just eating out too much, which I hardly ever do now.
Food:
6 oz bottom round steak 324 cals
Hamburger bun 110 cals
Tater Tots 160 cals
Rootbeer 160 cals
Cherry coke 260 cals
two cookies 180 cals
Healthy choice caramel bar 140 cals
3/4 bag of popcorn 260 cals
healthy choice cn soup 200 cals
VERY SMALL PORTION of meat and potatoes 200 cals
Total: 1994 cals
workout:
30 minutes on eliptical trainer
3 miles total
318.6 calories burnt
I'll probably have a can of soup or something for dinner. With working out, I need 2500 to maintain, so I'm shooting for 2000 cals a day. I guess I'm doing pretty well. It just seems like so much, and I know, that to achieve the ultimate results that I want, I need to stop eating so much sugar and salt.
***NOTE TO SELF: Soda is EMPTY CALORIES. Stop drinking it.
One of my new years resolutions is to run 1000 miles through out the year

Thanks. That's just one of those more specific new years resolutions. Every year, I say "get in shape'. That's very broad. Whereas Run 1000 miles is not only specific, but it's going to take time; which is exactly what I need.
That's a good idea. How should I start though? at 2500 like they say, and then decrease, or what?
Last night, I failed yet again. I was watching "my best friends girl" with my boyfriend, and I late night snacked. I had a peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, Kettle chips, Healthy choice Ice cream bar, a cookie, and a bottle of rootbeer. I'm beginning to believe that it's just boredom that makes me want to eat. I didn't go to bed until about three in the morning, and woke up at close to one this afternoon.
I made breakfast right when I woke up.
2 eggs, scrambled-140 cals
2 slices toast-140 cals
1/2 tbs maragarine-20
1tbs peanut butter-95
3 slices bacon-165
1/2 can chilli-290
3 slices pizza -600 :|
Cheetos-400
Total: 1975 calories
I would like to get down to 500 calorie meals-or less.r of the night. I'm also taking a sleeping pill tonight at 10 o'clock. I want to get back on a regular sleep schedule.
Workout:
Today was weight training day
Bicep curls 3.15@10lbs
Tricep Extension 3.12@10lbs
Crunches 5.25
Oblique twists 3.25
lateral raises 3.12@5-These were a huge challenge for me
squats 2.25
Tomorrow is my day off. I'm making Sunday and Wednesday my days off during the week. I want to have set days because I need to make sure to fit working out into my schedule. It's non-negotiable. I can also switch days IN ADVANCE if needed.

Two days in a post
Yesterday:
food
footlong bmt from subway
baked lays
diet coke
burrito
3 pieces broiled chicken breast
6 oz rice
2 oz beans
2 tortillas
***should have cut out the following...i'm improving day by day****
Ice Cream Sandwich
Popcorn
3 wine coolers (left over from the 31st)
workout
30 mins on eliptical 2.8 miles 238.8 cals burned
today
food:
One egg
one slice bread
one tbsp peanut butter
one cup black grapes
1 cup marinara sauce
diet dr pepper
not eaten yet
1 cup grapes
2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup rice
workout:
strength training today-it's seriously kicking my ass
100 jumping jacks-I did these in between exercises so as to keep my heart rate up
shoulder presses 3.8@10lbs-these were hard. I wanted to stay at ten lbs so I just did less reps. I'll eventually work myself up to 15 repetitions per set
frontal raises 3.15@5lbs
lunges 50 total@5 lbs
pushups i'm starting the one hundred pushups program. Right now I can do five
fire hydrants 3.15 PER LEG a lot of people don't know what these are..you get on all fours on the ground, lift your leg and point your knee to the side(like a dog does when he urinates), and then extend your leg to the side and point your toes. they work really well :]
It was a good workout. Tomorrow is a cardio day, and then Sunday is a rest day
This is kind of a milestone for me. I have successfully followed a workout routine since the 26th of December. I'm quite proud of myself.
Weigh in next week
I really want to start making my own marinated chicken breast and rice.
Does anyone have a good marinated chicken recipe??

today's food looks great! keep the evening clean, drink hot tea if you feel like munching!
A great chicken marinade for one breast I use sometimes is 1T ranch seasoning (in the packets in the salad dressing area), 1T red wine vinegar, 1t olive oil. The longer the chicken stays in it, the better, then remove and bake.
