Melting Fat

I can do that all day, it’s so much fun and it’s fun seeing my mom try to do the hula hoop on it! LoL
It does seems to be pretty close in weight for my digital scale, yesterday not so much. But today and the first day, yes.
Today it read 243.4 and the scale said 243.5, so that’s pretty damn close if you ask me.

Of course, nothing official till Sunday but I want to see how well they keep in sync with one another for the next couple of days and then I will go back to weighing once a week.

Monday, however, I’m hitting up the gym or I’m punching someone in the damn lip - I miss my weights at the gym! *hahaha* I also miss the elliptical, I love the elliptical and I never thought I’d be saying that. That’s crazy for me to be saying but I’m saying it!

The last 3 days, my calories have been so so . I didn’t log anything for Wednesday because that was payday and it’s just too much of a crazy day to log. Yesterday was going fine until mom came home with pizza from my family’s dinner last night for my cousin that just passed away.

Then TODAY was the actual funeral for Larry Don and so, I’m not sure what I had in total there. I’m pretty sure I’m at least 100 to 200 calories off on my figuring, if not more. So, I’m not eating for the rest of the night if I can bare to handle it.

And since, Aunt Flo decided to come for another visit, I’m crampy and REALLY HUNGRY but I’m trying to control the evil temptress.

So, for tomorrow, hopefully I can stay within’ ranges and low on sodium. I may have an all vegetable day tomorrow. We’ll see.

I would have been in range for yesterday but I had to get a cranberry juice because I think I have a bladder infection, so I went over by like 100 calories and only 10 grams of carbs. A lot better compared to other days, my goal for the rest of this week is to stay around the 1400 to 1500 calorie range and I’m sure I can pull it off.

I’m still doing the push-up challenge and I’m noticing more in my strength in my arms, so that totally rocks. After re-evaluation, I don’t think I’ll actually be able to do 100 standard push-ups by the end of the year considering I’m doing girly push-ups right now but we’ll see.

Also, I’m also not expecting to get below 200 lbs until January instead of December but that’s fine by me. I know damn well I wouldn’t be no Biggest Loser case and drop 100 plus lbs in 6 months and not be saggy skinned, I just don’t see the likely hood of looking as good as Ali after that fast of a weight loss. Nope.

41 lbs DONE and 80 to Go!

DAMMIT, I had another post typed up but I accidentally hit COPY again instead of paste because I had originally typed it in the page part. Shoot.

Anyways, with the new numbers I’m now officially 40 lbs below what I started out at and that’s freaking cool. When I was working at Wal-Mart, the only scale I was using to check my weight was the one at the gym and that sucker is about 20 lbs off, so even then I weighed around 270-280 lbs which means I was pretty much maintaining that weight for 5 months before I decided to do something about it and I did, didn’t I? Still have a lot to go but I have to admit it’d be cool to shock the lady I use to work with about the weight loss. I kept trying to lose weight while I worked there but really didn’t have the understanding of the calorie crap down but now that I do, I’m capable of doing this, even if it takes me another year to get the rest off. All, I know is that it’s going to come off eventually.

And that to me is not acceptable, the 2 months previous to that was a 7 lb loss each month, so that’s 2 lbs under what I should be at and can do .

So, this next month will be more strict in the diet and more verbal of what I will and will not do when coming to the honey, he loves for me to go to fast food joints with him and wants me to eat as well. Not out of trying to sabotage my efforts but he feels weird because I’m not eating. I’d much rather be sleeping a midnight than sucking down a chocolate shake. He works nights so his odd eating habits are normal to him.

So, I expect to be 247.5 lbs come June 30th if not less than that, I’d like less but I expect it to be 247.5, nothing more will do.

I have exactly 7 weeks to lose 17 lbs, I mean I don’t have to but that’s a goal I had set up and that would put me at 50 lbs done with. So, the next 7 weeks is going to be balls to the wall ass kicking strictness, I’ll have a few days of relief but I intend to keep my calories in check at least 6 days out of every week. This week’s off day is Friday because that’s my boyfriend’s birthday and so I don’t know how that day will turn out, so I’m leaving that one as the “holy shit, that’s a lot of calories!” day.

As for weigh in today, I’m down .5 lbs.

But for the July 14th goal, I’d take 15 lbs because that would take me out of the 240’s and into the 230’s at least.

how many calories I burned running around the house and outside looking for my purse. THEN discovering my boyfriend yet again lift the lid open to his hair junk and caused it to drain all out onto my Metallica book! Granted, it’s both our faults, mine for having anything of mine near any of his crap and his for leaving EVERY thing opened!

I finally got my eyetoy workout in at around 8 PM, I wasn’t even paying attention the fact that it was almost time to wake the lid open person for work. I didn’t realize it till my mom called at 8:31 pm.
I did a short cardio session and then did some strength training because I’m beginning to wonder if I’ m losing muscle, I seem to be losing weight too easily .

There have been a few days that I’ve gone over this week but since I’m on my period, I’m not giving two craps about it nor my enormous free day today. Hell, I might even walk to 7-11 for some Ben & Jerry’s and I won’t care about the results because I know I have the power to get rid of what I gain during a bad week plus some. Sure, it may take me a bit longer to get to my goal weight but that’s fine with me, I’d rather take 1.5 years or even 2 years to get it off and keep it off, as well as having a better chance of my skin not being so loose after the weight loss. I don’t fear loose skin on my legs nor even my arms - the only place I fear that it will be saggy will be at my gut area because across my hips and the front part of my stomach area is where I store the most fat. So that’s my area of concern for saggy skin once I get to my goal weight - if I indeed end up with saggy skin, I might opt for surgery because I want to be able to wear a bikini at least one summer out my whole pathetic adult life!

In other news; I’ve never hurt myself exercising but I did getting up today, don’t know what I did but I screwed my back up standing up today. I’m always careful to not overdo it with workouts but I seem to screw my back up at least twice a year by natural methods - standing, getting out of bed or something of that nature.

The only time I injured myself with working out was in school because they didn’t teach proper techniques for crunches - they wanted set ups, not crunches. I’d rather pump out 50 crunches than 4 set ups any day!

The last time I went over was last sunday, so I was determined to stay in range this week and so far so good. Just have to wait till the end of the day to see how it goes, I’m sure I’ll be alright and I can’t wait for tomorrow to roll around so I can weigh in and see if I rid myself of that .5 gain for sure. I’m really hoping I’ve reached my April 15th goal of losing 15 pounds from the time I started that challenge until now - my goal is to weigh 262, if it’s 262.5, I’ll take it because it would still be 262!

I’m suppose to go to the gym tomorrow and Tuesday but might not be able to because of gas reasons, I hate the price of gas right, it sucks and MILK is just as bad!

So, that’s 3 days in a roll of being in a good range and not going over, somehow though I still manage to go over on sodium quite a bit most of the week and I’m eating healthy stuff. *So confused!*

There’s basically a whole pizza setting in the fridge before now, I would have already devoured it the minute was brought home plus my subway sandwich but I only had one slice because I was still below on calories for the day as well as my other ranges. * fat,carbs,protein.* Sodium is the only one that is hard for me to keep at a low range, I’d basically have to eat vegetables all day everyday to combat that, I guess. Maybe when I get another job, I should do that 2 days out of the week, eat nothing but vegetables.

Anyways, I’m hoping the scale says 264.5 this time around or 264 but as long it’s back below 266, I know part of the problem of the weight loss slowing down is the exercise. The challenge that I’m in on spark, I don’t want to come in second; so I’ve exercised everyday for almost 45 days. April 15th is the last day of the challenge and the following 3 days will be rest days, I had initially only scheduled one day of rest but I’m going to go for three, I think that will be best for me and my body right now.

Fat Dropping Ellen.
*Fingers  crossed for a 2 lb loss this week.*

Rode the bicycle today for my usual mile, it was a bit windy and I was having issues with the seat, it kept falling down. So, I finished my exercise session with step aerobics with the steps to the shack in front of us.

My goal for calories today was 1600, I had 1632 calories not too many over, so I’m happy considering that’s still a good 100 calories under spark’s recommendation. Tomorrow is 1900 calorie day, which I like the sounds of better.
I really hope I can make my birthday goal of 240 lbs, my birthday is a little under 6 months away and I’m pretty sure I can do it but I really want to hit if not go under it. Fingers are crossed. My birthday is definitely going to be a free day, no burgers for me but I would really love to down a pizza. I love pizza! I’m setting up my free days as only once a month right now, my next free day is May 30th which is my boyfriend’s birthday when all bets are off!
