Hey All!

 I know that it has been a while. I have been following everything that I have talked about on here last week. I have had a crazy week last week during work and was not able to get on during lunch. I also followed everything over the weekend (Halloween) which was a pretty cool Triumph. And I had a two pound weightloss from 10-25 to 11-1 which is really not too bad. I keep getting down on myself that I should have lost more but I guess that two pounds is not bad right? That is normal? I am not sure. Also, I don’t know why I did this but I weighed myself on Sunday and than again yesterday and I had not lost the two pounds I was back to 257? I don’t know which one to count, I wish that I never would have seen that, and I am not sure why that would happen. I did not even have bad food on Sunday I ate according to my calorie deit. Is this normal for other people as well? Can I still count the two pound weightloss?

On another note I do feel like I am losing weight and I think that I am getting in the habit of eating better which is good! I think next week I might try adding a bit more excersise to the routine if I am ready. I have been walking once a week, but not too far. So I want to pick up the activity a bit more and not just count on the nutrition or calories to lose weight. The days at work have been so busy, I need to force myself to get up from my cube as often as I can. I think I might start setting outlook reminders. I think I could do better with food. I find myself eating something before I find out how many calories is, when really the hope is that I know how many calories it is before I eat it! So, still room for improvement but doing okay in the meantime.

Goals:

Lose another two pounds by 11-08-2009 (253Lbs)

Add additional excersise to the routine. Maybe 30 minutes of walking 3x weekly

Log on more often

Make sure that I know calorie content before I eat it!!!!

Hello World!

So today is day two. I am doing pretty good I think. For breakfast this morning I had cereal (Cheerio’s Multi grain) and 1/2 cup of almond milk. We buy almond milk because my fiance can’t have regular milk b/c of his tummy. And than today for lunch I 60 jello pudding and a healthy choice Tuscan Style Chicken. And than for dinner tonight we are goign to make taco salads and of course measure the portion size.

I am trying to keep my calorie count at about 1200 and sometime run over to about 1500. I am not sure what the right calorie count for my weight should be or where I should look to find that. I am at 257, so I think that if my goal weight is 130 to eat about 1300 calories? Any better ideas or a better place in order to look? I also am trying to make my calorie’s count and not be worthless calories so I have also signed up at a place called “my pyramid tracker” it is a government webpage and I am trying to keep adding my food to it so that I can see what vitamins and whatnot I might be missing each day so that I can make sure that I am getting what I need in order to be healthy. That is what this is about to me, not neccisarly the number but just be comfy in my skin and be health person even if that is above my goal weight. I want to change my eating habits and my lifestyle.

 It is hard at work to keep focused. I don’t really get up during the day and I need to start doing that at least walking here or there to make sure that I am getting some movement during the day but I have not done that today, i think I will try and bring my shoes tommorrow and see if I can’t take a walk during hte morning time

So, in conclusion: Still learning what number of calories I should be at will continue to researching let me know if you find anything, and tracking my calories and nutrition and hopefully tommorrow I will remember to bring in my shoes and go for a walk.

Hello World,

I am on getting on here today to blog and to lose some weight. My optimum weight loss is about 2-3 pounds a week I have lost about 3 pounds in the past two weeks and want to continue at about that pace. I have lost weight before, actualliy about two years ago I lost about 60 pounds! Than I started new (more stressful) job and gained it all back and more. My top weight is about 260 which was what I weighed in at about two weeks ago. When I lost the 60 pounds I was down to 180. My goal weight is about 130 but I would settle for up to 150 which is still in my healthy zone for my height.

 I have struggled my whole life with weight. Both of my parents are obese and most of my family is as well. Food has always been a comfort for me, when I was upset my mom would take me for ice cream. It was a learned behavior and it is pretty hard to unlearn it. I had a rough time with my family, and I have stopped talking to them (Christmas will be two years of not talking to them.) I did not stop talking to them about the weight thing of course it was other reasons :). I have been on several diets, lost weight gained it back, lost weight gaind it back. Counted this and that and everything. When I was 15 I was actually anoxeric for a while and I lost about 80 pounds at that time. My goal here is to lose the weight slowly,heathly and keep it off. I want to change my lifestyle what and how and when I eat. I want to learn how to cook, and be in charge of what I am eating.

I am only 21 years old, I should not be worrying about the things that I do. I worry about high blood pressure, I worry about walking up the stairs. I am winded walking to the break room and than back to my desk at work. My major goal here is to learn healthy habits, change my lifestyle and feel comfortable in my daily activities and in my skin.

 <3 Thanks all.
