My journal and calorie tracker! |
For the last 2-3 weeks or so I have been trying to loose
weight and be healthier. SO with
my friends Kim and Julie we pretty much made a pack to be better. We even created journals were we can
record our progress. I feel like I
could probably do better with my eating.
I have been tracking everything in a calorie counter on my phone and
trying to make better choices but it is hard when I never really had much
control over or cared what I ate.
Now it has caught up with me!
I remembering posting last year or so about being the heaviest I am well
now that’s not true I am NOW.
Kristin's Bridesmaid dress.... Pretty cute really! |
Anyway, with Kristin getting married next spring I’m
determined to look good in that bridesmaid dress and a bikini all week!!!! SO it starts now!! Or trying at
least. I really haven’t lost any
weight but I cant get discouraged.
I’m trying to limit myself to 1680 calories when my normal intake was
probably was more like 2800-3300 in a day… If I’m under 2000 I feel good about
myself.
This past weekend my friend Katie came to Denver which
involved about of ETOH and eating out which totally blew my 2000 restriction
with 2 days being greater them 3500 calories and all….I know I cant stress
about it because once I’m back at work I will be more structured! Plus no exercise really… (We did go for
a hike yesterday ) Then! I go to Boston in a week and half! Boston Cream Pie----maybe this time
I’ll just get a slice not the whole pie :P.
Embarrassed to post this pic! Took yesterday on our hike... I am going to get rid of that belly button hole! |
With eating less (I don’t necessary want to say better at
this point) I have been trying to exercise at lease 4 day a week. Really trying to focus on running.. I
would love to be able to run a 5K at some point. I have never really been much a runner so it is
difficult. SO I found this plan
that gradually increases you up to running without stopping. I was doing well until I hurt my right
foot arch… UGH not I might have to start off or just DO IT!! And Stop being a
baby J
Well I plan on trying to be like 180 lbs which is like 50lbs
to loose so well see how close I get!
AT least by December when I buy that dress J
SO this time I mean it! IT does help that I have good
friends who are trying to loose weight too!!
Wish me Luck!
