337.8lbs, down 4.2lbs from last week!
No pics yet.
I can feel myself being more… not bony but… bony? I don’t know how to put it.
Basically I’m able to feel things on my body I haven’t felt in a long time, like my collarbones, and my feet and hands are a lot more sinewy than they were before. I’ve been noticing muscles I haven’t seen ever since I started p90x.
Yay!
also, personal time is a lot more intense, ngl, and I’ve noticed that I’m slimmer *downstairs* as well. ;)
989 calories burned walking 2.46 miles in 50:00 minutes.
Day Twenty-Two- What was your lowest weight? How and why did you gain?
To be honest, I have no idea. I don’t weigh myself often. I’m going to guess about 100.
I gained mostly because I quit sports towards the end of high school, but also because I went to college, where healthy options are available, but less healthy options are plentiful.
_________________________________________________________________
I must start by saying that I ate entirely too much last night for dinner. I must also say that I don’t believe one should do any differently when eating at one of the highest rated Italian restaurants in San Francisco. In fact, those are the only two things I will say about that.
I didn’t eat too terribly today, considering what I wanted to eat.
Breakfast- Apple, a few cashews
Lunch- Falafel wrap, and I took a lot of the pita off, and my first soda in a month
Dinner- A grilled cheese made with 1 slice of whole wheat bread, a serving of Healthy Choice red beans and rice soup
I’ve been sneaking bits of chocolate, sips of my family’s coffee and other random things all day. I think it’s PMS. Also, even though I’m glad I ate so much yesterday (because it was so good and so worth it), I’m feeling really gross today.
We got home too late from our trip for me to work out. I start work tomorrow, and am planning on loading my lunch with fruit and veggies to hopefully make me feel better. I’ll throw in a little chocolate or something sweet just in case, because these cravings are terrible! I haven’t had any cravings until now!
I think I’ll go drink some water in an attempt to clean out my system.
so i finally got a real gym membership! (yay)
the whole going to my university gym just wasnt working out. the city upped street parking fees so it was like a quarter for five minutes. and then the gym was only open certain hours and not on the weekends and i could only park on the street for like this two hour window…it just wasnt working out. hahaha
so i trucked myself down to the local la fitness and the guy was pretty nice about setting me up with a membership that i could afford.
i went to a place last summer for like $75 for three months which was really small and like my entire high school went there. i just didnt feel like dealing with people hah that sounds horrible, but its true.
you know when you run into someone who like you ‘know’ and its all awkward cause you should probably say hi, but you dont. and then the other person doest say anything so its just this big awkward encounter.
…yeah thats my old gym.
but anyways, this la fitness its pretty nice. its really large and i can take yoga classes for free and stuff so im pumped about that.
today i just jogged on the treadmill for an hour. i was kinda intimidated to go down with the juice head guido’s (okay..they werent really guerillas. but i still felt stupid going down there. :P) to lift weights and do leg machines.
i have this huge bubble blister on my pinky toe, which im hoping takes care of itself by tomorrow…cause i actually want to go to the gym. haha
oh! and today i also pulled weeds and put up this gazebo in my backyard.
in other words, today was pretty successful. right?
sweet dreams. :)
Breakfast: oatmeal with a sliced banana, some walnuts, and cinnamon-sugar; coffee
Mid-morning snack: bagel twist from DD; more coffee
Lunch: spinach salad with red cabbage, cucumber, carrots, raw pumpkin seeds, raisins, and oil/balsamic vinegar; multigrain tortilla chips with guac
Dinner: (at Pizzeria Uno) Veggie Curry Pasta (small plate- I love that they have this option!) with a side of broccoli and a breadstick; unsweetened iced tea
Nighttime snack: (at Starbucks) Skinny Vanilla Latte (tall)
Exercise: elliptical for 1 hour
Sorry I haven’t been posting! This past week has been madness! I had to get all my traffic tickets straightened out. I did traffic school for one and went to court and lost for the other… But hey. Haha, at least they’re dealt with!
On the way, I lost track of my eating habits because of all the stress… But I’m back on it. And I actually spent two hours on the elliptical at the gym today because I was engulfed in the NBA Finals (GO MAVS!). Hahaha.
Anyway, I’m going to Disneyland on Thursday! Woohoo! Every time I go, I always manage to lose weight. I guess it’s because we don’t eat as much, and we’re always walking!
But until then, it’s healthy eating and being a gym rat. (=

Hey there! I’m actually not tracking my calories for weight loss reasons, I’m doing it to ensure that I’m not undereating.. which is very possible considering I’m not used to getting all of my calories from fruits and greens.
I have nothing against those foods, I just like to keep things simple and concentrate more on fruits and leafy greens. I also don’t particularly like the taste of those foods. I actually have a ton of different fruits and greens in my kitchen (I’ll be sure to do a post one of these days), I just don’t eat all of them on the same day. For example, I would eat a bag of grapes for breakfast on one day.. and mangos the next. Uncomplicated mono-meals are the easiest to digest, and it’s kind of fun to be able to dedicate an entire meal to one of my favorite fruits.
But yes, variety is key. Oh, and so nice to see that produce gets you excited.. that is quite rare in this day and age!
I am afraid that I will not be about to loose enough weight in time to look good for my wedding, also that I won’t notice/be able to recognize and be happy when I reach a good weight
