Isn't that part of what weight loss is about?
Yesterday was terrible, after my run. Not in the sense of I had a bad day... Not really, I had fun, I enjoyed spending time with my friend Shanelle. See we went to the county fair, because there was nothing better to do with our Sunday evening. So we went, walked around, looked at stuff, whatever... And then we did stupid things. And by stupid things, I mean we ate stupid things.
See, at the county fair(And the state fair, when it's around) they sell these blocks of curly fries... And i say block because it really is a fucking BLOCK of curly fries. And we decided to share one, because curly fries sounded good, and we were at the fair where, let's face it, food judgement is impared. I think it gets high from all of the fumes from the animals or something.
ANYWAY.
We hadn't planned on eating the whole thing. We really only planned to eat half of it, because we knew it was terrible for us. But we ended up sitting at our table for a good hour or so, talking and being silly and whatever, and all of a sudden that block of curly fries? Yeah. It's GONE. With the exception of a ton that ended up on the ground, and a bunch of crumbly pieces on the plate. If we're lucky, that was MAYBE 1/4 of the block. Maybe. And that's being excessively optimistic. You know the sad thing? The fries sucked. They were bland and oily and not really that good... So why in the hell did we eat them!?!? I mean, yeah they were $7 curly fries... But I'd rather lose the $7, if I could do it all over again.
The other big kicker was that after eating all of that oily potato mess, we felt kinda gross, kinda off... And we realized we needed something of substance in our stomachs. And we ended up at Mel's Diner, and I mean... We all know diner food. There's not really such thing as a decent option. I ened up having a louissiana hot sausage sandwich... It was actually really good, and I really enjoyed that, but I wish I had enjoyed it without the stupid block of curly fries ahead of it!!! Ugh... I'm just so frustrated.
See, I exercised for the last three straight days, and my weight decided 251 was an awesome place to hang out. Fine, whatever, I can deal. It would go down eventually. After my stupid, stupid food choices of yesterday, today I'm up at 252. What. The hell. I mean, I'm not really surprised, but at the same time I just feel like I'm not getting anywhere anymore. I won't give up, because I've just been so proud of myself for doing the right things for the most part, and I've been enjoying it... But god damn, can a girl ever catch a break? This is rediculous... And so frustrating. Even more so because instead of exercising like I might normally after that kind of day, I had planned on this being a rest day... Since, again, I worked out the last three days. I would exercise anyway, but I'm kind of generally sore... So it's probably best to give my body a chance to chill out a little.
I just wish I had willpower of steel or something. :/

That was AMAZING!
So earlier today I did Week 1, Day 1 of the C25K program. I told myself I was going to do it when I had so much fun thinking about it yesterday. I WANTED to start last night, but didn't because it got too late. But today, today I woke up at 10, and I think I was out of the house around 11:30... After I snapped a few photos of myself, just for fun!
It. Was. AWESOME.
I had no idea what to expect from myself starting this... Since, like I said before, I've never been great about running... At all. Ever. But the only way to find out is to try, and I tried today... And I DID IT! And I feel amazing for it! Week 1, Day 1 is a five minute warmup, intervals of running for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds, and a five minute cooldown. Came out to 31 minutes out and about in my neighboorhood... And I have to say that I totally rocked it. ;) During a couple of the running intervals I kind of felt like dying, but that was always when I only had about 10 seconds left of running anyway, so I just pushed through to the walking. :D It was pretty phenominal.
When I got home again I was totally sweaty and gross, but of course rather than immediately taking a shower I got on my laptop and have been here ever since, rambling on about this to anyone who will listen! AND I had a fun moment when I went onto mapmyrun.com and found out that the route I took today came out to 1.84 miles! That's ALMOST two whole freaking miles! How super awesome is that? Very, of course! I felt SO proud and SO accomplished... I can't wait to do it again in a couple days. :D I just hope my scale stops being a jerk! I was back up to 251 today, which at this point I'm blaming on water retention, since my muscles aren't used to being worked as much as I've worked them in the last couple of days. Oh well! Shit happens. :) Saturday, May 29, 2010
What in the world am I thinking??
... I'm thinking I am SUPER STOKED!!! :D
See, I have to tell you that I'm the kind of girl that loves a challenge. I love trying to figure out how to do things, pushing myself beyond what I think I can do. It's just sort of how I was raised. Truth be told, though, I tend to be a little lacksidasical about it most of the time... Because while I love a challenge, I am also rediculously, outrageously lazy. Hence the whole fat thing... Among other reasons. But whatever! ANYWAYS, I've decided to challenge myself with something, which will totally help with the weight loss stuff, too!
Someone out there is looking at the above statement with furrowed eyebrows, wondering what the hell I'm talking about. I know it. C25K stands for the Couch-2-5K Program. It's a starter program for people who want to learn how to run.
Yeah. Run. Like those people you see on sidewalks and stuff, moving kinda fast. That kind of run. ;)
Basically it has you do intervals of walking/running to build up your stamina over the span of 9 weeks. By the end of that 9 weeks, you should be able to run a 5K(which is a little over 3 miles), or for 30 straight minutes. The program has three workouts a week, which are meant to be spaced out so you don't wear yourself down.
Now, if you know me, this is going to sound entirely rediculous. I am not the sort of person who runs, or at least I never have been. But you know what? I've always wished I were that sort of person. Someone who finds running enjoyable or thereputic or whatever. Obviously I'm not guranteed to feel that way about running just because I'm taking on some silly challenge, but who knows? There may be a born runner buried somewhere underneath these layers of fat, just dying for me to discover her. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.
So in light of this decision, I went out this evening to buy a few things... A couple new workout tanks, since I've been doing t-shirts and things for Zumba but I'd like a little more air when trying to run... And some new shoes! The shoes I've been wearing to the gym for working out are kind of pathetic... Not in the sense that they're super worn out or anything, they're just kind of cheap, flat, and not that great. I got them for $15 at Walmart, let's put it that way. These shoes I bought today, though... I think I'm in love, and I haven't worn them other than trying them on in Famous Footwear. I ran in place a little, walked a bit... They're just so. Freaking. Comfortable! And I felt grat about buying them... They were $48 and change, but I had a giftcard from a couple Christmases ago that still had $28 and change on it, so I only really paid $20.25 for my new shoes. I am SO stoked, you have no idea. I also bought multivitamins that my Dr. recommended to me a while back... Which really has nothing to do with C25K, but I've been meaning to do it... So why not throw it in here? ;)
I'm planning on taking advantage of the fact that there is a C25K iPhone app available for $3 in the app store. It has all of the workouts programmed in, and has audio alerts to tell you when to walk/run. You can use your own music in the background of the app, which I think is really cool. It seems like a pretty polished app for the most part, and reviews are mostly good... So why not?I plan on starting this tomorrow, either in the morning or in the evening... Or middle of the day, depending on how warm it is outside. I want to jump on this like... Now. Right now. I would've gone out for the first run when I got home if it hadn't been nearly ten o'clock! But now it's 10:30, so I'm DEFINITELY not going out for my run until tomorrow. Dang.
So that's my new and exciting news! I even have a 5K picked out that I'd like to do if I stick with this. Maybe my mommy will even do it with me! ;) *hint hint!* Look at me, all... Planning and stuff! Aaaah! So exciting. :) Can't wait to see how I handle this!

So Many Thoughts Tonight. :)
I went to thy gym today after the scale decided to play tricks on me. Yesterday, it was nice, and was like, "Yeah, you weigh 249! Go you for getting out of the 250's! Yaaaaay!" And I was all excited and all that... And then today I got on there and it was like, "JUSTKIDDING, you're still 250ish!(I got on when I first got up and it said 251, did a couple things, came back and it said 250. Huh.) What a freaking JERK! So I said to myself, "Self, we are going to have to go to the gym today!" And so we did!
I had a pretty great workout, I'd say. Warmed up on a bike for 10 minutes, 5 minutes on a stairmaster, 33 on an elliptical, 5 on a hand bike(I hate the hand bike, BTW. Or at least my arms do. That's gonna be something for me to work on!). Thennn, because I had a weird 53 minute workout on my hands at that poind, i decided to go over to the situp contraptions to do some crunches. I figured I'd do 100, so four sets of 25... And I did that, but I was still feeling pretty good. So I did four more sets. And two more on top of that. So... I did 250 crunches, and it. Was. AWESOME. I felt SO good after that workout today, just because I pushed myself a little bit further... It was great! That's the best I've felt about a workout this whole time! Hopefully it's not the last time I feel that way, either!
Before I went to the gym today, I started playing around and decided I should make a spreadsheet to track my stuff every day - Not so much food, but track the date, my daily weigh in, and whatever exercise I do. Just to see how things go. I plan to have it sectioned off by whatever goal I'm on - So right now I'm working on my June 6th goal, it's labeled as such. On the 7th, I'll have a new section with the header for the next goal, et cetera. I just thought it would be nice to keep track of it all. Wish I had kept track from the beginning... But if nothing else I can go back through my entries here and at least enter in the Wednesdays I talked about here. :) Better than nothing!
I'm feeling really, really good right now. I'm making mostly good choices, I'm getting more in the habit of trying to get exercise in... I feel like I'm actually, yaknow, accomplishing something! And that doesn't suck... or at least I don't think so.
I decided something a little odd today, or at least that other people *may* find odd. I haven't talked to my dad in a while... Just haven't gotten around to it, and I haven't seen him since... The beginning of April. So... Before I even started all of this. I'm honestly gonna try to avoid seeing him for a little bit, until I've lost more weight. Presumably(since I didn't have a working scale at that point) he saw me last right around my highest weight of 266 pounds. How cool would it be to go back there having lost like... 30-40 pounds? I have a lot of family up there, and they don't see me too often... I just think it would be fun to see if they notice. That's my biggest thing... I wanna see if people who don't see me all the time will see... Any difference at all. And they don't know I've been working on this, so I can at least know they aren't saying things just to make me feel good. I hate that. I want to know that I really am making progress. Of course, if they don't say anything, I'll just chalk it up to them being unobservant or something. ;) I'm cool.
Oh! I found an exciting thread on 3FC a couple days ago that I've been thoroughly enjoying... Something along the lines of the "Get real summer fit challenge" or something like that. Basically about setting a weight loss goal for the summer that's realistic, and chatting with the lovely ladies there while you try to get there. So I'm aiming from this point to lose another 20 pounds by September 1st. I checked on my little timeline I made that I posted here a while back, 20 pounds falls right in there, so I think I can do it. :) To weigh 229/230 by September... How cool would that be? I mean... Seriously?? Yesss! That would ROCK! ((Now that I look at it again, I'd actually preffer to be a little farther than that, since my September 15th goal is 215... Oh well! We'll see!))
Anyway, I'm just excited and silly and in a happy place in my head right now, so I thought I'd record it since things aren't always this way in weight loss. :)

Math is Fun!
And that is something you'll never hear me say about anything else. Ever. ;)
But anyway!
Today is Wednesday, and we all know that means it's my "official" day to count my weight, which today came in at 250 pounds! 16 down! Hooraaaaay! I'm happy, to say the least. Would have been way cooler to escape the 250's altogether, even if it had just been 249, but hey! I'll take it! Especially since I had a couple weird food days this week!
But back to the subject of math.
I was playing around with my numbers... You know the ones. I want to lose 91 pounds, I've lost 16, this much would be this percentage... Blah Blah Blah. And I realized that I only need to lose SEVEN more pounds to be a quarter of the way to my goal! Only seven! How crazy awesome is that!? I think it's rediculous how awesome it is, personally, but yaknow... I may just be a little bit biased. ;)
I love doing things like this. I'll sit here, not really doing much of anything, and I'll start playing with the calculator on my laptop to see how things are going, how far I am, how much farther I have to go... It's really a motivator, and I can't get over how happy silly little numbers can make me! But numbers are my driving factor in all of this, let's face it. Well. Part of it.
See, I haven't told you about this yet, becuase... Well, I just haven't thought to put it in my blog! But since I'm keeping track of my journey, you may as well know what I want to do when I get it all done. I want to lose 91 pounds, right? Right. We all know that. I've mentioned it a few(hundred) times. Sure, I wanna be skinny and healthy and wear cute clothes and all that jazz... But there's another driving factor, another end goal I have.
I want to get on the Amazing Race.
No, seriously. It's a dream I decided to chase semi-recently. It's part of what drove me to want to get a new scale so i could lose weight. I'm a latecomer as far as the show goes - The last season being the only one I've actually watched. but I fell in LOVE. Instantly. Right away, then and there. I watched it obsessively, and decided I needed to do it too. See, I love traveling. And my family tends to be competitive by nature, so... It all works out. WHen I get to that point, that magical point of losing lots of weight and meeting my goals... My mom and I are going to try to get on the show, and be amazingly awesome together. I can't imagine doing it with anyone else, my mom is the best. THE best. And she is totally up for it with me. And I can't WAIT!!!
The downside is that you have to be 21 to be on the show. That sucks, seeing as how I'm only turning 19 in a week and a half. BUT! That gives me plenty of time to get in shape, which is nice. And seriously, how could they ignore something as awesome as this? Someone losing 91 pounds because they want to be able to run the race? Duh. Great team story, right there. Hahaha. And I have weird hands! Let's throw that in the mix. See if we get anywhere.
ANYWAY. So now you know my big giant dreams. Let's face it - Even if we don't get on the show, I'll still have all of this amazing weight loss under my belt, which is PLENTY reward, even on it's own. But travelling around to world at the end of it? Yes please!

I can officially say....
I have been at this for one month. :) Hooray!
And I decided that being the landmark that it is, today's weigh-in needed to be recorded. So I changed my ticker on 3FC today after I weighed in... At 252 pounds! That means that in one month, I have lost 14 pounds! You have noooo idea how exciting that is for me. So. Freaking. EXCITING! I know, I know. This is only the beginning, it won't always be this fast, yadda yadda yadda.... DO NOT CARE. I will bask in the glow of my lost fourteen pounds and deal with the hiccups if and when they come my way. I am allowed to be happy about this. DUH. 14 pounds is a big deal!
I will probably do the same thing every month - That is, weigh-in and count the 21st, regardless of if it's a wednesday or not. Those days are going to be big deals to me, as they just show me how far I've come. I don't care that today only makes the first month, I am PROUD and I am AMAZED and I am SO freaking ready to continue this. Yeah. That's what this does to me... I'm all crazy and pumped up!
I'm FINALLY getting back in my exercise groove after my couple weeks of basically nothing. Went to zumba with my mom on Wednesday, and we went to hip hop tonight! I'm feeling really great about it, which is good. I just need to keep it up! :) Mom wants to go to Zumba again on Sunday... It's at 9. Or noon. Noon I would totally do, but 9? I suck at mornings, people! Suuuuck! But we'll see. I told her to ask me about it tomorrow night, so we'll see. ;)
So yeah! I'm feeling awesome and super happy about my progress, and just... Great!

A small week in terms of loss, but I expected as much.
Today being Wednesday, it was time for my official weigh in. I'm down one pound from last week, putting me at a total of 12 pounds lost so far. Consideiring my almost completel ack of exercise in the last couple of weeks, I'm still pleased to see a smaller number. :) Take what you can, right?
I'm going to try to go to a Zumba class tonight around 7, which would be pretty awesome. I need the exercise, and it's probably one of my favorite ways to get it in, even though I've only gone to two classes. Instructor really does count, though. The first time I went, we had an awesome instructore and she was really fun and into it. When I went the second time at a different gym with a different instructor, I didn't have as much fun. She was into it, but it seemed like she was less hyped up and into it. Granted, there were only three of us in the class that time, but still. Give us what you've got! If I go tonight, I will be going to the gym with the instructor from the first night, and that will be lots of fun. :)
I am trying really hard right now to get myself re-motivated in exercise. I need to do it. It's important to my goals. But I'm just so good at making excuses for myself to *not* exercise. It's really quite terrible. As I spend most of my day sitting around on my laptop, I could just as easily take 45 minutes out of that time to go through a workout on EA Sports Active. So why don't I? I think that's probably a bigger issue for me than eating at this point. It's really not that hard for me to not eat like I used to. That part I pretty much have down, no problem. ut making myself get up and move around... I have issues with. I'm rediculously used to being sedentary. I guess it's just gonna have to be baby steps in that respect.
My birthday is coming up pretty quick here... Two and a half weeks or so. Now, by the silly timeline I set myself when I got bored last week, I'm supposed to lose nine more pounds by then. Its not likely to happen, I realize. I'm more realiztic than that. But the timeline was just an idea of what I would like to do, not necessarily how I think things will actually pan out. Some people don't seem to get that and think I'm setting myself up for dissappointment, but I'm more realistic than they seem to realize. Granted, it would be really cool if I could lose nine pounds by then, but I'm not about to drive myself crazy trying to do it. There is always, always, ALWAYS room for adjustment. That's the beauty of being in control. :)
I am officially going to Zumba tonight. :) My mom and I are going together. How awesome is that??

If I go tonight, I will be going to the gym with the instructor from the first night, and that will be lots of fun. :)
I am trying really hard right now to get myself re-motivated in exercise. I need to do it. It's important to my goals. But I'm just so good at making excuses for myself to *not* exercise. It's really quite terrible. As I spend most of my day sitting around on my laptop, I could just as easily take 45 minutes out of that time to go through a workout on EA Sports Active. So why don't I? I think that's probably a bigger issue for me than eating at this point. It's really not that hard for me to not eat like I used to. That part I pretty much have down, no problem. ut making myself get up and move around... I have issues with. I'm rediculously used to being sedentary. I guess it's just gonna have to be baby steps in that respect.
My birthday is coming up pretty quick here... Two and a half weeks or so. Now, by the silly timeline I set myself when I got bored last week, I'm supposed to lose nine more pounds by then. Its not likely to happen, I realize. I'm more realiztic than that. But the timeline was just an idea of what I would like to do, not necessarily how I think things will actually pan out. Some people don't seem to get that and think I'm setting myself up for dissappointment, but I'm more realistic than they seem to realize. Granted, it would be really cool if I could lose nine pounds by then, but I'm not about to drive myself crazy trying to do it. There is always, always, ALWAYS room for adjustment. That's the beauty of being in control. :)
I am officially going to Zumba tonight. :) My mom and I are going together. How awesome is that??
