July 18, 2012

I have come to the realization that I am not on track with my weight loss. I have slipped into a "depression" I guess you would say. I have been in a relationship for about four months now, I feel that this relationship has something to do with it. I have been drinking diet coke, eating doritos, craving sweets, eating over my portions. I can see that I've been eating bad. I've grown tired of lettuce.  So i've been eating tomatoes and cucumbers. I've also been stressed out because at one point I was changing jobs and have been getting hives. Finally went to the doctor for the hives and the doctor gave me a perscription for prednisone. I took it and the hives disappeared. Went on the scale last friday and gained 7lbs! I also got my period that day. So I'm pretty sure it was the period and steriods that made me gain now hopefully I will be able to lose what I gained. Need to get back down to 267.6 and below! I'm mentally frustrated with it. I know I need to start blogging again and tracking what I eat everyday. I'm working on drinking more water. I've also been into running/jogging/walking. I really need to make more time for myself to lose this weight or I will never lose it. Maybe I should focus on losing 10% just not sure how I'm going to do that, maybe go back to the basics? walk for 5 days for 30 minutes. Maybe try a different lettuce? Butter lettuce, boston lettuce? Edamame? Beets? Endive?

Avocado dress:
1 cup of avocado
1 garlic clove
1 cup of fat free yogurt/ greek yogurt
fresh herbs

Maybe getting some romaine lettuce to grill....

Creations

I have become fascinated with salads since I've really started losing weight. BLT Salads
Greek Salads
Cobb Salads
Tuna Salads
Southwest Salads
Chicken Salads
Fruit Salads
All kinds of salads

Dressings:
Honey Mustard
Chiptole Ranch
Balsamic Vinagrette


Activ Trax

Date: 8.15.12
Goal: Lose 20lbs by Thanksgiving! Little over 3months need to lose about 6-7 pounds a month!
I need to focus on doing this!
Weight: 281
Height: 65
Biceps: 16
Waist: 54
Hip 57.5
Thigh: 33
Chest: 64
Calf: 18

Calories: need to burn 300-500 per session, 2000-2500 each week to make a difference.

I have only done ActivTrax twice so far. But I really like it! I will focus on drinking more water and going back to the gym more.

Staying off the scale!

So I took a month off the scale and I surely did not miss it!
I went on the scale today and weighed 281.6 a month ago it was 281.8 so I lost .2 better than gaining! 
I'm getting a scale of my own tomorrow from Walmart.
I'm supposed to be getting my period this next week or so.
I haven't figured out how often I want to weigh in.
I need to get into the gym soon, I'm hoping when Daniel is working thats when I will be at the gym. Still going to drink more water. And we have plenty of salad to eat the next couple to few weeks. Guess I will look at toppings for my salads for work lunches.
Just hoping I can lose the weight.
Taking it one day at a time!

Gained 10 pounds in the past few months

I've reviewed my last month on sparkpeople.com
And my calorie intake was through the roof I couldn't believe I had consumed so much! No wondering I haven't been able to lose anything!
So Wednesday I weighed in 277! ten pounds heavier! I was shocked and completely disappointed in myself!
Now Wednesday I had planned on going to the gym that evening. but I had to go home first and make dinner and brought Daniel home with me. So I cooked dinnner and chilled out for a bit, than took Daniel with me to get some things from his place to stay the night. We decided to go to Sweet Frog and I got some frozen yogurt chocolate, and cake batter with fruit, walnuts, sprinkles it was delicious!
I had 2079 calories for that day which is over my limit.
Thursday- I woke up in a good mood and got to work on time.
I wasn't too bad this day I made my own breakfast I made some eggs with bacon and arnold sandwich thin.
Lunch I had prepared a salad for that day. but we were ordering chinese for lunch and I was really craving sushi. So I got california roll and spicy tuna, rather than getting tempura which is fried I got california roll which is lighter in calories!
Home we had veggie burgers in pita pockets.
Went to the gym and completed the bike challenge in 46:18 8.38 miles it was tough!
Than it was Lose to Win!
I felt beat down and I went in for my weigh in afterwards and pretty much maintained @276 so I don't know whats going on.
I felt weak afterwards and really hungry! but I did not back down and pick up any fast food!
I got to Daniels and ate some food and went to bed afterwards!
My calorie intake was 968 that day!
Friday morning
woke up around 6:38 with a bad migraine!
Went to dunkin donuts and got some coffee and donuts but didn't even eat one but maybe half of one.
Went to take a shower and went to sleep woke up feeling nauseous and vomitted in the toilet.
I than tried to eat some graham crackers and couldn't keep those down either.
So I slept for a couple of hours and felt a little bit better
Mom came home and brought home an eclair she said try it you might be able to keep it down and just like clock work couldn't keep that down either or the water I tried to drink either.
so I rested a bit more and threw upa little bit more
Than dinner came and I tried to eat again I had a hot dog with ff and some sugar free pudding. it was delicious and I actually kept that down.
My calorie intake was 688 for that yesterday!
Hopefully I've lost some in the past couple of days

One Month Review April 1st- May 9th

Well I've review my last month on Sparkpeople to try and figure out why I was gaining instead of losing weight.
Calories range: 979-2808 I realized I was consuming more calories, and not working out hard enough to lose it. I wanted to keep my range around 1500 each day and I have not accomplished that at all in this last month.
Fat range:36-161 I'm not to worried about this, not just yet.
Carbohydrates range: 104-329 I am definitely worried about this area too much carbs
Protein range: Good
Calcium: Too Low
Cholesterol: Too Much
Fatty Acids: Too Much
Fiber: Too Low
Iron: Too Low
Sodium: Too high
Vitamin D: Too Low
So I def can see why I gained 10 pounds in the past couple of months. I'm hoping I can change this!
With the calorie range around 1500-1700 normal 1800-1900 on a bad day.
Fat range: pretty steady
Carbohydrates I would like to keep around 60-150 per day.
Protein: I don't have a problem with.
Calcium: I definitely should pump up so I'm going to make some chocolate pudding tonight to bring to work and try to have more yogurt, milk and cheese.
Cholesterol: I need to watch this one and this could be because of the eggs I've been eating.
Fatty Acids: Be on the look out especially for fast food.
Fiber: Work on this maybe for breakfast have a high fiber cereal.
Iron: More meats and veggies.
Sodium def comes from fast food and chinese
Just need to keep an eye on what I'm eating and maybe going back to the beginning.

Time for a Change!

Its time for a change!
I have been in this plateau for too long, for me to settle for it.
I've also been in a weird funk as well.
Usually I cook my own breakfast and lunch but for some reason I didn't feel like doing any of it. I want to pick up breakfast on my way to work or go out for lunch. Something I haven't done since I first started losing weight. For the past couple of days now I have cooked or prepared my own meals, yes I did go to Dairy Queen last night and got a small turtle pecan blizzard. Trying to get better and not want to go out and eat all the time. Will see if this changes my scale weight at all. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow. Hoping to revamp my lifestyle. Also hoping the stress I've been dealing with goes away and maybe that will help me get out of my plateau. I've come to far to just quit on it. Going to the movies tonight and I bought some sugar free candies and light popcorn instead of buying stuff at the movie theatre :) Little Changes, make Big Differences!!!

I workout WIGGLE WIGGLE

"To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done before." The first time I heard this was in a Weight Watchers Meeting back in 2005 and I still apply it to my life. I've been doing Lose 2 Win for about 5 weeks now. I have accomplished the first two challenges: (1) One Mile Challenge completing it 29 secs faster than the last L2W. (2) Elliptical Challenge accomplished 300 more strides than last time. Overall I can feel my legs getting stronger and I already can tell I'm walking faster. Last friday I took BJ for a long walk at Sandy Bottom for 3 miles. Than Sunday was my race for Love Thy Neighbor. It was pooring down rain that day. Saw 5 accidents on the way and I was praying I hope I don't get in an accident. I got to the Boardwalk where the race was, picked up my packet where my shirt was in. Had myself a banana. Walkers had there own side opposite of the runners. I synced myself thinking jogging first would help but it only made me come in last place. I finished the race in 30 minutes. walking in the rain was not the funniest thing I've ever done to say the very least. Def not the race I was wanting, but we can't always get what we want.
Monday- my least favorite day as I'm sure it is for everyone else too. But I woke up early and wanted to go to the Gym! Well I had to do a challenge that was due that day but I could have just put it off for later. Tuesday was Lose to Win night it was good but I was so cranky from the Cabbage Soup diet that I wasn't happy at all. I'm really just trying to break my plateau on this cabbage soup diet, thats all. but what I dislike from this diet is the limited I had like 616 calories for the day. I normally have 1500.

Vacation and Weight Loss

Mini Vacation between april 6-10th
Its hard enough to try and lose weight on your own. Its another thing to try and not gain while your on vacation. Nags Head was the location the objective was to have a good time, and we had a blast! We ate some of the best food we could have ever imagined from fresh seafood, the best hush puppies in town, sweet potato biscuits, french toast and some of the best coffee I've ever had. And it just wasn't about the food but the experience, the environment. Being around some of the most funniest people and eating some good food it really doesn't get much better than that! And I'm going to admit it I loved it, relaxing and eating some great stuff. Though it wasn't a good choice and sure I regret some of it now. I know I will work it off and I won't be eating like that for a good while. We did a bit of walking on the beach and at the North Carolina Equarium. So moving on...I came back Saturday night and I knew the next day I would be walking the Noland Trail with my girls from Lose to Win. 2 hours of hiking/walking the noland trail in such beautiful weather was perfect on a Sunday! Afterwards I had saw one of my girls I had just walked post on her facebook that she did 30 mins of strength training after our walk. That had inspired me and so I did 25 mins of strength training! my legs hurt afterwards but I know it was worth it! I than decided that any exercises I do in our Lose to Win program that I have issues with I would work on at home. I love walking in this beautiful weather were having where its not to humid or too hot.
I have also realized that I must accept the things I can't change, and have courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. I really want to lose another 40 pounds by August 7th and the more pressure I put on myself the more I see that goal not happening so I'm going to try and relax and know that all my hard work will pay off in the end!

First Week of Lose to Win

Lose to Win has officially started on March 26th!
Monday was the introduction to the program and weigh-in. After the weigh-in I did the elliptical trainer for 35 minutes and stretched afterwards.
Tuesday night 7:15-8pm
I had all this energy for L2W. ready to do our laps walking, walking faster, jogging to running. I really enjoyed running with my girls Michelle & Stephanie and happy to be around them again :)
Now in each L2W we meet it revolves around circuit training. doing cardio, some strength training.
Kettle bells, resistance bands, planks, exercise balls, running, jumping, push-ups, walking, lunges and squats.
It was a great first night felt like the girls and I were the cheerleaders of the class! I just had a feeling the next ten weeks would be great and couldn't wait to get started.
Thursday night 8-9pm
Was a little different we still did our warm up but we had nothing to workout with. No kettle bells, no resistance bands, no weights. We relied more on our own bodies to use. It was a bit more of a challenge and we sure did get our sweat on! We did alot of leg work push ups, planks, crunches. It was little different and I think we all enjoyed that. My left knee was aggravated a little bit but it seems to have subsided. Will need to start up swimming again.
Friday 12:15-1pm was in a different room so that was nice to getaway from the gymnasium and actually here Michael (our personal trainer) speak! Sharing the gymnasium with the basketball players can get a bit loud and hard to hear. So we worked on the BOSU.


It was something different of course never worked with something like this before! We worked on this and resistance bands. It was really cool when we teamed up and did squats on the bosu. We also did bicep and tricep curls with a long rod weight, to achieve more resistance we added our resistance bands.
Overall this week was pretty awesome and excited what the next 9 weeks will bring. I have been asked to inlcude some recipes in my blog. I will start doing that next week. Happy blogging :)

March 26, 2012

Today is my first day of my new blog. I am very excited about this new journey I am on :) It will almost be a year that I have fully started my weight loss journey and have successfully lost 60 pounds. It took great strive, determination, motivation and my support group. It wasn't easy in the beginning it took my left knee to pop out during a dance session on my Wii, to get me to realize I really needed to lose weight. I started off slow taking a few swimming classes during the week than gradually changing my diet. I cut back on fast food places, diet coke and portion sizes. After about 2 months of swimming classes I tried the elliptical, treadmill, bike, walking, jogging and running. It was extremely hard and of course there were times I wanted to quit. But throughout my experience I have learned I have a lot more energy now than before (I can run up the stairs and not lose breathe). I dont have to eat as much to stay full, going out to eat isn't so bad when I can have a salad instead of something fried. I have fallen in love with preparing my own foods, making my own salad dressings, and going to the gym 4-5 times a week. I love the outdoors and I can feel my body changing everyday. The scale and I have our moments but just like every relationship it has its ups and downs.
I have done my first year blog and will continue that one till the 9th of April for completion.
I wanted to start a new blog to invite others to be more involed in my weight loss journey. I have now started my second Lose to Win program at the YMCA it is for 10 weeks with a personal trainer and a couple girlfriends of mine. I am excited to see the results hopefully get a couple inches off and maybe a couple pounds off as well. Tonight was our first meeting, it was good. I than went to do 35 mins on the elliptical and burned 353 calories and completed over 3750 strides. Been pretty good today as far as calories: 1223
This is me New Years Eve 2011 I was 50 pounds lighter than

 Tonights results from workout!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my first post of Rhiannon's New Weight Loss Journey! & hopefully you will be interested in how I'm progressing in the future as am I!
