In Depth Plan!

Dear you,
Hey there! Well, it's time for another post. I have been keeping busy with a lot of activities but not any concentrated and intended workouts. However, I will start Starting Monday.

This weekend I must clean the disaster that is in my apartment. I will be rearranging the house, and trying to get rid of clothes and I hope to get rid of my art. I feel like if I were to burn them it would be a waste... so, I plan on letting someone else use em for firewood behind my back. lol.

On Monday I have a hiking date with a coworker. No... it is not a date date. It's just two chickies going hiking... suffering together...lol.

My downstairs neighbor ended up being in penthouse magazine and these other mags. I am happy for her, but I feel embarrassed to be outta shape. My boyfriend came in and told me about how hot our neighbor is and as soon as I saw it I went upstairs, did my make up and hair and came back down to hang out with my neighbors. How embarrassing! So, Ive decided to go more into depth and really try hard to pick myself up again.

so I updated on was my eating plan. I told you about my monthly plan on exercising and eating. You know, the one with a bigger girl and one with one in shape, with arrows and goals on it. Well, I've decided I've gotten off to a rotten start the second time around, and I have so much weight to catch up on.

I am keeping my monthly calendars posted. Three total, but: one on the fridge, one above my bed and one in the bathroom. I always end up using the one in the bathroom to update the most. Anyways, tonight I made a weekly calender with the same meal plans!

These weekly meals plans will be like my food diary. I will be printing out my weekly meal schedule, and leave space next to it to detail about any changes and what time I ate. Then I am going to put a blank page behind it, and I must write about how I felt about each meal, what my thoughts on about the meals, the day for exercise(if I wish) and if I have any upcoming dates where food will be replaced for a meal do to an occasion of some sort and how I plan on dealing with it. Once that day comes, it will be interesting to see how I did. I will collect these weekly and at the end of the month make an assessment. Write about it and see if I will continue.

Wish Me Luck!

BYE BYE JULY

Hey there peoples!
Ok. So The month of July is over. The weather's been fabulous and I have been enjoying it.

I have not been hiking or working out. At all. The only sort of exercise I've had the entire month was at work or walking to and from work. To and from work is about 2 miles each way. So, I guess it's better than sitting on the couch.

Even though I have not done any substantial working out I have been eating well and keeping up with my three weigh in's. I have been eating a lot of yogurt, cereal, salad, fruits, veggies, rice, and sushi!

Here it is folks.. the good stuff!


STARTING WEIGHT:180

MIDDLE WEIGH IN:180

END WEIGHT:177

GOAL:146

MISSED:31

AUGUST GOAL:126

Ok...ok...ok...ok! I know thats pretty bad. LOL. pretty terrible. I had a huge set back. I still don't feel like getting my butt up and doing things but I am going to anyways! I know my goal is pretty far but this goal is just adding up what I missed and the goal I am supposed to reach if I were on track. I probably wont reach that goal but it is there none the less. I am not so stressed out about reaching my goal like I was in the beginning but it is still very important and I still have that shirt to wear.My next post will be my plans and I do have them even though I feel like being a lazy butt. I will continue to eat well. Wish me luck, I need it.

thanks for tuning in,

New Month, New Plan!

So, this is a new month and I am rather excited/nervous about it!

This month is the month where I have to put a match under my bum because
I must lose 33 pounds to catch up. whoa! That's a lot for a month I think.
That's one pound every day this month, except on two i need to lose 2.

So, I know I'm starting 3 days late but I made a calender again. Same concept
but I planned out my meals for the month. I upped two days a week to going hiking twice a day per week. I also am going to work out every day. My meals mostly consist of: oatmeal
chicken
rice
salad
fruit
tuna
yogurt
pb&j with honey
cereal
burritos
I know this seems really bland but not only is it healthy but good for my Gerd. I don't mind it though because I am really determined to get into shape.

I, also, hope I can get some whey protein. I think i will be replacing a meal with it if I do get it but until then I am going to stick to whats on the menu. I know it builds muscle (which I will be looking forward to), but I also hear it helps with weight loss. So, I hope that goes well.
I'd hate to grow hair on my chest and become sirnosnoozieq. lol.

well ladies, audios

Forget It...Go All The Way

I have decided! Enough of this putzin around stuff! I am going to start hiking the hard hike!
I did it today and it was hard but totally worth it. It was not as hard as the first time, but I have plenty of room for improvement. A cute, big , long black haired dog liked me and kept wanting my back pack, so it was funny/nice/cute. So, that is the good news. That and I am getting a tan! Yey for vitamin D! lol. I really have to get an MP3 player though. That, and a pair of good shoes still.

Also.. I thought I'd throw another informational tidbit out here. If you exercise while ... it's that time of the month then your cramps will go way down! I have been in a lot of pain this year when it was time for my hell week, but this week was a snap! I think I could dig that!

Oh! By the way. lol. I bought new exercise clothes and they're kinda... tight.. I am a bit embarrassed but I want them that way. I am sure I'll fit 'em soon. -I hope!

The last bit of news....
Eat my dust in celebrity world!!!
-as if I cared much about if someones rich- Kendra (playboy with the cutest laugh) and Hank (football player?) were hiking at the same place I was. I did not want to disturb them, so I just looked for a minute. That and I TOTALLY HIKED CIRCLES AROUND THEM!!! lmao! ahh... It's true though. She does look good, even though shes just had a kid, which kinda makes me sad about my state...lol. Other than that she should really dye her lower half of hair blond instead of bleaching it cause I really don't like that yellowish tint bleach gives. Oh, that and Hank is a giant next to her. Good going Hank.

Being Safe, Wise & Kind To My Body When Hiking!

Hey guys!
well, I am sorry I trumped all over my own post with reasons instead of the motivational
part of my losing weight tips, and the personal pros and cons of hiking.

Hiking

Pros: *My butt will get into better shape! wahhoo!
*it will tone my legs
*it is a great cardio work out
*it has helped my blood circulate!- I have always had problems
being cold but now I'm warm and it feels fantastic!
*It helps slowly introduce running (because I run down hill)
I can control my breathing! I've always had a hard time controlling my
breathing, but I can pace myself and push myself at the same time, so it
helps.
*It's a fun activity that I can do with friends in shape and outta shape
because not too many people hate hiking but many hate running
*There are generally nice and encouraging people at the hiking sites,
so it makes it pleasant

Cons: *It sucked when I first started out because it was so hard.
*My feet got calluses
*If not done properly it causes injuries

Inspiration:
*Zuzana Light- I posted her link on the right side
of my blog at the top. Click This Link To Take A Peek At My Inspiration!
*Making a plan, use calenders, dates with friends and motivational rewards *All those time people said I was fat.
*My legs rubbing together when I walk up the hill
*The clothes I cant wear


Tips

*Make sure you have your cell phone! incase of any emergencies.
*Make sure you let someone know the general area of where you are going to be
*Make sure that you have the right shoes!
(I don't even have the right shoes yet and it kind of sucks)
*Make sure you wear sunblock! You don't want to burn!
*Definitely stretch! I didn't and my hip was hurting for a week!
*After exercise of any kind if you having knee problems or any
other unusual problems (other than soreness) you should definitely see a physical therapist at
least once to get some advise. I did and it worked for me.
*When you are going up hill make sure to use your butt and not rely on your knees and upper leg
to push you up. I know this sounds weird but I used to and my knees would kill me the next
day. I did not recognize what I was doing that until I saw a physical therapist.
*If your legs are rubbing together its best to wear leggings!
I find they are comfy, don't make you too hot and are light!
Some times they are expensive but forever21 has some basic ones
that are cheap! Leggings!

**Problems with peeing!
I always had to pee when I got to the top of the mountain!
It was so uncomfortable! It seriously looked like I had ants in my pants...lol.
What you should do is through out your day make sure you are hydrated and
go to the bathroom when you need to. 30 minutes before you go hiking stop drinking.
Go to the bathroom every time you have to. Then 15 minutes before make sure
you are not dehydrated. If you are thirsty drink about 4oz of water. It helps
if there is a bathroom at the site so you can go just before you start but if
not try going before you leave. After that the general rule is to not over
drink and hydrate your self every 20 minutes with 4-6 oz of water.

Overall, I love hiking! I get sun, air, a chance to exercise and be social,
to see cute kids and pooches, and to build muscle and LOSE FAT!

Thanks for tuning in and I hope I was helpful! Any questions, tips or comments do yo thang!

Not mad about cow and figuring things out.

I have been doing my schedule for about fifteen days and already I feel motivated. I am very tired but I feel good.

I am not sure about going to the difficult hiking route yet. I don't think I am ready for it yet. I am considering just hiking on the easier hike (which isn't too easy, but easier than the other hike). I would still be hiking 4-5 days a week. I do plan on going to the harder area, maybe by next month I'll be ready. I'll keep you posted.

I also have been eating rather well! salads, fruit, chicken, rice, and cereal. Except last night. I had a half a burger with a bit of bacon and avocado, small portion of chili fries and part of a chocolate malt (for the first time- which was thick and delicious). To my surprise, I was so full, sick really. I usually love when I eat at Mel's Drive-in but I don't see myself going back or to any other hamburger joint any time soon.

The truth is I've been very careful of what I eat, in fact so careful I have been trying to find ways to eat more calories because I have been eating less than 1500 and that is unhealthy. I guess I am afraid I will carry more weight up the hike if I eat too much. I am trying to find a balance. It is only the first month, I am sure I'll have things down pat by next month.

Well, I am going to get ready for hiking. I will do extra because of last night. lol. I feel real bad about it. Anywho, the next entry will probably be a bit more helpful instead of personal updating. I will be talking about the pro's and con's about hiking, what helps me get my butt up the route and what inspires me. I hope this will be helpful and inspire you as well.

thanks for taking the time to read this.
Happy weight losing and muscle building!

Muffin tops are delicious to eat but not to wear

Hi there!
I was wondering... Have any of you ever felt like a snail, slow and sluggy, for a long period of time? I do. I am also aware of the phrase "couch potato". lol. Well...
I've decided once and for all I will not be any more!

Hopefully I stick to my goal and get up and lose weight. I am not going to be trying any diet pills or laxatives. I am going to do it the old fashion way... work your buns off and try to eat right.

I have a lot of trouble with this idea. I want to lose 50 pounds in 3 months. From just before I actually began, I am accustomed to eating whatever I like, and using work as an excuse for exercise. It is hard for me to get out of bed and when things are physically challenging I tend to not bother.

I have decided to go hiking (which is 4-6 miles) 4 days a week and an hour of exercise on the other 3 days. I hike in two different areas. Two days a week I do the easier route. the easier route is about 2-3 miles of inclined walking and the rest is down hill running/walking (mostly running). The other two days I hike at a place that is very difficult! Basically, at the moment it is horrendously painful and i don't expect to become good for a while. It is the same distance except the incline is outrageously steep. I have started June 1st, 2010. I weigh 180. I will weigh myself on the 15th and the 30th of June, just to keep track. I will also tell you how my pants are doing too...lol.

So far so good, except the dreaded two days of hiking on the steepest route. I have been getting up and going with friends and the people who hike at these places are very kind. They offer water if they think someone is in need, they let the dogs run loose and people i don't know encourage me with hi-fives and shouts of confidence in my being able to survive. I am super excited to be doing some thing to change my life. Already, my circulation has improved and I am not as cold as I used to be, my tan is coming back and I feel better with eating better. After all, if I don't eat right I'll have more fat to carry up that terrible hike!

well, I'll keep you updated and I will be taking pictures of my weight loss. This is new to me and I am a little embarrassed, so I will be uploading photos when I've made progress. well, Im off to bed and still excited about a new life style.
