1 - 7 December.

Goal: drop 2 pounds.

Methods: counting exactly every calories, and working out daily.  I’ll also write down and confront the excuses for not working out.

I’ve got sloppy within past few days. Scrupulosity and numbers will beat that.

Monday

Merely made it with the limit - 1560 kcal. 500 of these came from large McDonalds fries. I’m glad that didn’t made such damage. I have a tendency of emotional eating, I’m afraid.

Exercise - 1 hr of body toning.

Tuesday

Exercise - 1 hr of fitball/body toning, 1hr of interval aerobic

Identified and beat one attempt to comfort eat. I didn’t make it to recommended 1200 kcal. My stomach got upset.

Wednesday

Sucky day, a lot of stress.

Exercise - 1hr of Total Body Conditioning with weights.

1600 kcal.

Thursday

No exercise, been busy. Time well spend.

+1386 kcal today. I may should cut down the limit, my scale won’t even tick so far.

Friday
I went to yoga class expecting to find a new enjoyable work out form. I walked out completly irritated. The lady instructor started the classes earlier then the scheduled time, so I walked on position in progress. It took me a long while to pile up all the blocks and blankets while the group have been exercising already for some time. During the classes I’ve learned repetively how the group was practising already for two months. It didn’t say its advanced group on the shedule, it was supposed to be open to everyone. Also the lady instructor payed plenty of attention to how everyone carried out the position except to the newcomer(me). Bloody awful.

It didn’t feel much like a workout so I did an hour of body conditioning, and another of abs/stretching. Next day I was sore all over my body because of the yoga.

Calories around limit.

Saturday

I had an hourly slot for the exercise at the early morning, but I didn’t felt like it. I had a busy day, I ate a lot of rice waffles. I made it with the calories limit.

Sunday 

Did an hour of very intensive aerobics, and 20 min of elliptical later on. I didn’t count the calories that day, but it couldn’t have been much damage. I ate dark bread with tuna, some soup and again dark bread with tuna. Can’t be too bad.

 Overall

I’ve experience weight loss, and I’m really glad with that. But I’m did not lose anywhere near 2 lbs. So despite I’ve managed to create a -750 to -1000 kcal negative energetic balance per most days, I didn’t make it. I think the problem might be the late hours I have most calories. The metabolism is supposed to be the slowest in the evening. With my daily scheme I usually get home late. So its quite difficult to eat up earlier. I might cut my calories intake, obviously 1500 is alot.

I didn’t do a really good job today… I’m glad about the exercise, I did an hour of TBC and another of strictly cardio aerobic. I was happy to maintain less than 1000 kcal calories intake. Then I came home, rushed to the fridge, and ate whatever fell into my hands. I wasn’t even very hungry, just a bit. Lets be honest here, targeting 1200 kcal per day I’m going to be hungry no matter how I’m going to compose my meals. How do I work my way through that?

2000 kcal which I ate today is not that bad, its about my regular advised intake. So its like I wasnt dieting.  I have nothing else to do but to keep trying. I’ts going to be better next time!

I’m feeling inspired today.

I’ve been reading these blogs today that had full food and exercise journals in them. They showed women sticking to their diet and physical activities with a military like discipline. Some time ago I woudn’t even believe that you could live on a menu that would consist of like 2 bread slices, half cup of soup and some vegetables! And it goes day after day, following their diet rock solid. Way to go ladies!

I’ ve been having that irrational conviction that it is just hard for me and my messy little head. And all these succesfull, jazzy chicks just snaps their finger and make themself slimmer and more beatifull. I kinda thought it comes naturally. Today I realized its hard work. And tons of determination. And consequence. So I stop whining about myself. I can make it. My diet is 1200 kcal per day.

Cheers

Hi,

I’m trying to lose 110 lbs… I’m starting to feel really uncomfortable with this massive weigth of mine. Its been going on for a long time, since elementary school. I’ve been feeling depressed now and then so I’ve developed some addiction to chips and so on. I’ve decided that now is the time to get rid of it for good. I’m dieting, and also I will be attending 2 hours of cardio gym classes per day till the end of november. It seems a bit unrealistic, but i really love fitness, and my gym club offers classes at morning, when I’m not so tired after work.

So wish me best of luck! Cheers
