I've decided to keep an online journal so that I'll be accountable. This way I'll be able to see my workouts & food diary for each day. Writing things down is a big motivator for me.
My original weightloss launch was back in January. At that point I was 180lbs. Between mid-January and mid March I lost 8lbs. At which time I injured my hip & lower back. Unbelievably, I injured myself initially by going bowling. Then I kept reinjuring my back at work & even went back for a bowling encore which really did me in. By April the pain was so severe I couldn't move. I started physical therapy at that point. No weightloss for me in April. At the end of May I was able to start working out again. So my stats from the end of May are:
height: 5'4.5"
original weight:180lbs
Starting WISH weight: 172lbs
At the beginning of June my weight was 170lbs.
As of today 6/10/05 my weight is 168 lbs.
workout today: 25 minute walk & 5 minutes of ab & bun exercises
food diary:
2 stalks of celery with Laughing Cow's creamy french onion lowfat cheese & turkey slices, 8oz of Cran-Raspberry Juice
Lean Cuisines Sweet & Sour Chicken, 8oz of skim milk
Sandwich: 1 slice of whole grain bread, lowfat cheese & 2 slices of turkey with mustard, Green Tea & 1 fudgesicle
evening snack is celery, lowfat cheese & another fudgesicle
925 13.5
On the weekend I like to be able to go out for dinner & eat whatever I want, so I try to eat lo-cal two days before & two days after. I try to average about 1250 calories a day & 22 grams of fat.
I had a dream last night that every time I weighed myself I dropped 5lbs. By the end of the week I'd lost 35lbs. In my dream I kept trying on my "smaller" clothes. First my size 12s, then 10's, finally 8's & they were all way too big for me. I was so excited that I was fitting into size 6s! At last! Unfortunately, I woke up & reality dawned. I tried on my size 12 shorts. Still too tight!!! I couldn't get the zipper even 1/2 way up. My legs & arms are size 12 but those abs and buns are a determined 14.
