Hello,

I used to be very active and in great shape but I did not adjust to Boston well and have gained a lot of weight. I am from California and have only been in Boston for two years. I cannot wait to move back to CA where I can do outdoor activities all year. :) Well, here it goes:

Well that's my second day of logging everything online for all to see. Hopefully I can stick with this, If I do maybe I will lose about 2lbs a week.

Here comes the weekend. Weekends are easier to get exercise in because I have more time, but they are more difficult for staying on track with the food. I live with my boyfreind and we go out to eat too much on the weekends. We went out tonight but It was a place that I could make healthy choices. He also doesn't worry about what he eats as much as I do. In fact last night he bought a tube of cookie dough (to eat raw). I love cookie dough. It is very tempting. I hope he finishes it before i give in.

Thanks for checking up on me, I would love some feedback and to see how you are doing.

new weight 164.2!

Well this morning after my workout, I weighed myself, the scale said I weigh 168.2. Thats 5.8 since last week! I know a lot of it is water but I am happy anyway :)
 
Wow, keep it up! Hey, we have pretty similar stats. I'm going to watch your diet closely and learn all of your secrets... heh heh heh... :cool:

Seriously though, you're off to a great start. Keep it up!
 
catch up on food & exercise

Well, I need to catch up on my diary. My BF used my computer most of the weekend so I did not get a chance to log everything.
ExM I am happy that you will be watching my diary, It will help me to behave. I'll be watching yours to, I think it will help both of us.
thanks for the support everyone :)

Well I got bad news at the dr. yesterday. I have carpel tunnel syndrom (or however you spell it) I can't ride my bike to work (at all) for two weeks :mad: that's about 400 cal. a day of exercise i will be losing. plus, it only takes me 30 min to get to work on my bike. It takes at least 45min (if all goes well) on the subway. bummer. oh well, that's life. This means I will have to get up earlier and work harder at the gym.

I am Back

Hello all,

I have been on vacation and haven't been able to post lately. I went to Las Vegas with my Boyfriend and my two sisters w/ all of their kids and husbands. We had a great time. I miss my neices and nephews so much, it was great to see them. While I was their, I tried to eat as much fruits and vegies as possible. I worked out at the hotel's fitness center twice and we walked a lot! I was happy to see that when I weighed myself this morning, I had not gained any weight! I am very happy with that, I do not care that I did not lose any weight. Usally when I am on vacation I gain 5-7 lbs.

anyway, this morning I did lower body weights - Arc trainer for 10 min. 139 cal. and did walk/run intervals on the treadmill for 30 min 215 cal.

56 oz. water

food:
zone bar 210

almonds 210

zone bar 210

String cheese 80

forzen burrito 250

total so far 960

I have already eaten way too much for this time of day (1:30 p.m.) I have been really hungry for some reason.

Well, I will finish up later.

September 8 2005

Thanks Christina,

Well I did not do so well for the rest of the day yesterday (8th) for some reason I could not curb my appetite.

what i ate the rest of yesterday:

zone bar 210

ww fetichini alfredo w/ brocoli 290

zone bar 210

1/2 C Tofutti (vegan ice cream, very tastey) 190 ( should have had the low cal Breyers it only has 70 cal but I was really in the mood for the Tofutti. Bad choice :(

String cheese 80

For a grand total of 1,730 calories.
I think part of the problem was too many zone bars. I felt very lazy about preparing food yesterday and the zone bars are so handy and tastey.

I will try to do better today.

Thanks for the encouragement Christina, Your posts are very helpful to me on my journey.

yesterday consumed 1200 cal
burned 827 cal

I listed what I ate and what exercise i did on group 4's site
You would think that with all of the exercise I do that the pounds would just be dropping off but they don't very frustrating. I would really like to be down to about 145 by Thanksgiving so that the next time I see my very skinny (older with kids) sisters I won't be such a cow. It's crazy, my sisters have given birth to three kids each and they weigh between 100-110lbs. they actually lose weight when they get pregnant. and they don't exercise, plus if I ate the way they do id be even heavier than i am now.
They must have crazy metabolisms. And mine must not work at all. Oh well. I will just keep trying. at least i am living a heallthy life.
enough complaining

today
rode bike to work 200
arc trainer 432
upper body strength
will ride bike home 200

breakfast
balance bar 210
so far 32 oz water
 
same here, my sis is like 100-110 lbs if that. and I'm 185! DOH!
And she is so super UN healthy!
So, I'm happy I have my own body. She used to be on the plumpy side but she got into things that you wouldn't want to........
