Half Way
I haven’t written here for almost a year. It’s funny because i see that I tried to use this blog as a place to keep my food diary. lots have happened since last July, mainly in the last 3 months.
In January, Zill got Wii Fit. Mr. wii fit board said I’m OBESE. that word scared the shit out of me, so I did something about. faced my fears and moved on – that’s when i found Calorie Count. It’s where i keep my food diary now. it’s so easy to use, and great to keep myself in check. So I usually eat about 800-1000 calories a day, which is lower than recommended – oh well. I also started exercising 4 out of 5 weekdays, doing cardio and weight lifting. I’m so educated now on losing weight – even got Andy to start using calorie count just a few weeks ago. it’s easy to make him see the difference with that website – 1 egg = 90 calories, 1 egg white = 16 calories. So now he’s only eating egg white for breakfast!
btw, Volumetrics is a good great book for calorie counters!
So all this talk with words, lets see some numbers!
January 28th I started my weight lost plans: 178 lb!! BMI 30.2 <–obese
April 7: 158.2 lb!! BMI ?? (it’s on wii fit).
that’s a total lost of 20lb! (~12lb since starting CC). That makes me half way to my first goal of 140lb which will make me NORMAL WEIGHT!
i look and feel great. i party harder at clubs now and definitely have more confident. I see the pictures of me last summer and is disgusted with the way i look. I’m so fat. SO SO SO FAT. and now, the change is very much noticeable (by me and Zill at least) – i have shoulders, collar bones, wrist bones, and (discovered yesterday) shoulder blades! everyone has been super supportive of me, it’s a blessing. there are a few exceptions, more on that later.
The place that lost most also include stomach (yay), arms, shoulders, lower back, upper back (in the middle) and legs. i love my legs. i will love them more 20 lbs later, but it’s been a great success thus far.
I really don’t remember how i use to live; how i use to eat. that past me is so far away now. I’m much more aware – i think that’s it, it’s awareness. Just because things didn’t look bad for me, doesn’t mean that they aren’t horrible. Now I’m empowered with facts, numbers, methods – AND IT ALL WORKS. that’s just so surprising. less than 3 months later, here I am at 158lb, a weight i haven’t seen for more than 2 years (in May 2007, i joined the gym hoping to get fit. At that time, i was 167!). I have shed 2 years of my life in 2.75 months!!!! after this is over, I’ll feel like i can accomplish anything in the world =)
The great thing is, i don’t feel like I’m dieting. i enjoy everything that i eat. I let myself eat dessert, candy, chocolate. I would let myself eat fried things too but really that’s bad for you in other ways than just the calorie. I have a system that works now and will work for me for many years to come =)
I’M SO HAPPY. i’m on top of the world.
