Not sure why NONE of my pictures will upload! I am having a hard time losing the last 15 lbs after having a baby 2 years ago. I want to be back to my weight when I met my husband 7 years ago. We are going on a cruise June 7th and would LOVE to be at 128lbs. I am a stay at home mom and love it. When my daughter is taking her nap, I will play on the Wii. I am usually running around the house cleaning, cooking, playing, etc. For me to lose weight, I am not allowing myself to have a drink during the week (wish me luck).

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

Quoting: rach_1623 I kinda want a snack too, but I think that's just the boredom talking.
sure is, but eating the apple is prolly better than just getting up and leaving work before 4

Getting healthy is more and more important to me. I used to be more active, weigh less and feel better. I'm convinced that losing the weight I have to lose will bring me back to the life I really enjoyed. I accept that it will be by baby steps. I like the idea of losing weight and learning to live healthier with other people.

I just ate a bunch of baby carrots. Thank goodness someone thought of those things! Ever since I was sick this weekend, and I lost 6 pounds, I am SO motivated to eat healthy to keep losing the weight and to get healthier. Carrots is one of my main foods.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals: 1) Lose ~45 pounds 2) Work out at least 6 days a week 3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.
I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.
I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.

Quoting: stephy1818 I blame traineo for getting hooked on the Turkey Chicpea Chili
That is indeed good. Now, I grade it over the Blackbean soup.
Panera has a new salad for Spring. It is the Strawberry Poppyseed salad. It can be chicken or chickenless also. The 1/2 salad with chicken is only 150 calories (2g fat, 16g carbs, 14g protein). It is very ideal and taste great. I lose the grilled salmon salad, but gain this poppyseed salad. Not too bad!
Another spring salad is Tomato&Mozzarella. It tastes great, but just too high in cal and fat. It is better to share it with a group of friends as appretizer.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they haev to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is NOTHING.
(I freakin LOVED that ad campaign)

Dang, so this is where your postcount++ happens... I think making a post for each meal is beyond even my level of OCD, so I doubt I'll be able to keep up
Now, with all my wall-o-text posts, if only they had a wordcount tracker... those would be some interesting numbers...

So I had a kind of revelation when I went to talk to my "coach" on Fri to get my bike fitted. We a little off subject and were talking about diet, and I started to make some excuse, and he just cut me off and said, "You either have your diet under control or you don't. You either have your training under control or you don't." At that particular second, I was like yeah, but you don't understand MY situation. Then later I was thinking about it and he is totally right. And it's so simple. We outlined some basic principles that he wants me to follow, and I've started on some of them since then, but I'll probably hit it hard core after I get back from vacation. (Going to the beach in 3 days!!!!!!!) So I've kinda made this my motto. And I want to have my diet under control. So anyways, long story short, I did great this past weekend. I am expecting a great weigh in for Thurs.  Yea me.
So he told me that he wants me eating about 2,000 Cal/day, which kinda startled me, but he also wants me getting up and doing 20 min of exercise in the morning before work to get my metabolism up and keep it up during the day.
So breakfast: whole wheat bagel with peanut butter (400)

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals: 1) Lose ~45 pounds 2) Work out at least 6 days a week 3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

Raise your hand if Memorial Day weekend destroyed any plans of eating healthy?
*raises hand*
That being said, somehow I'm still 3.5 pounds lighter than I was last week. Go figure...
This morning's breakfast...2 donuts.
