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!
