Weekly Update (promise I will get better)

Okay.....the past couple of weeks have been rough, but I pushed on...not full strength, but made some choices and sticking to a plan.

1. Weight is 290 (lost 2 pounds, not great, but at least I did not go up)
2. I am sticking with being a pescatarian. I love cheese and seafood....just will do in moderation.
3. I worked out about 4 times over the past week....not good, but considering I had a sever sinus infection and was having serious allergy problems (I wanted to peel my eyeballs out) not too bad.
4. I plotted my extension walking path, think it will add a mile to my usual 2-3 mile walk, I will attempt to add until it gets freezing cold.
5. Refrigerator and pantry is stocked with healthy foods....veggies, yogurt, beans, brown rice, and so on.  I just have to cook it and stop eating out every other day (that is better for my health and budget)

I think that is all for now....will try out my new path in the morning and use runkeeper to track the distance. 

Weekly Update :-(

A lot has been going on, but here is an update.

1. Weight 292 (gained 2 pounds)....I have to stop eating out so much
2. Working out 3 out of 7 days....I have to get back to at least 5 days...I am aiming for 6
3. As stated on my last post I am thinking about going back to straight vegan...just not about the weight loss, but I was able to manage portions better and not putting as many bad things in my body during that time.
4. I am signed up to do a 5k WALK on the 25th with my church....I would love to run it, but not there yet.

I think that is all for now. In the morning I am going to attempt to cut some time off my 15 minute miles....we shall see.

Week #3

Okay...this was a bad week. On top of being sick (have a tooth infection and need a root canal....if you have ever had this type of pain...it will take over) I went to go work out on Saturday and fell and fractured my finger is several places :-( See....

This prompted me to say it is so much easier being fat....but I know that is not true.

Here are my updates :-(

1. Weight 295 lbs (+2)
2. BMI: 42.3 (+.2)
3. Worked out 3 days out of  7
4. Did some weights, but did not do elliptical machine

This was not a good week....I ate semi healthy, but splurged more than I should have. I am hoping to go workout more this week and cook healthier this week also. Last week I did a lot of eating on the go which is never good.

Although I gained weight, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Lets see what this week will bring. :-)

Week #2

This week was a rough week. I developed a major toothache and it is killin me!!! So the update will be short.

1. Don't know weight, but pretty sure it was not a lot due to the holidays....I did not pig out but I did not really exercise portion control. Will update tomorrow will I get on the scale.
2. I did walk 2.5-3 miles 5 out of 7 days. Most of them were done inside on the treadmill.
3. I did weight training 2 days last week...my muscles will never forgive me.
4. I did not even look at the ellipitical machine...tooth ache consumed my thought process.
5. I pigged out on a veggie pizza this weekend.  But I attempted to walk a little longer.

That is all the update I can do for today.  I don't think I gained weight, but loss of weight still not sure....Going to dentist in the morning so hopefully the pain will go away.

Week #1

I survived the first week of Operation Death of Fat Girl!!!! It was hard, but I made it. Had a few stumbling blocks, but I came out better. Each week I think I will give an update on my progress. Rather the progress is good or bad. I know it is going to take me a while to lose all the weight, but I have to realize that it took me a while to gain it all too.

Successes

1. Weight: 293 lbs (-7)
2. BMI: 42 (-1)
3. Worked out 5 out of 7 days
4. Walked/Jogged Approximately 2-3 miles each time
5. Attempted the Elliptical Machine (only lasted 3 minutes...better than the 2 minutes the last time I tried it)
6. Drank no alcohol (although I don't get drunk...the absolute no drinking of alcohol is very hard...but I will have alcohol on my 30th birthday....in moderation, hopefully)
7. Incorporated small snacks back into my meal plan (yogurt, fruit, fiber bars, etc.)

Failures

1. Ate after 7pm twice (although small amounts still ate)
2. Had sushi twice with tempura shrimp (fried) although it wasn't straight grease, still was fried
3. Did not push myself when I know I felt comfortable in my workouts, I think I could have jogged more and some days could have gone for longer times.

Goals for Next Week

1. Walk 3 miles each workout in 45 minutes or less
2. Increase elliptical machine time to 5 minutes
3. Absolutely no fried foods
4. Start putting weight training into my workout (I hate weights almost as much as I hate the elliptical machine).

As you can see week #1 was very good, but I have to continue on the right path.  I know I will not lose that much every week, and some weeks I might not lose anything, but my main goal is to be healthier in the long run and continue Operation Death of Fat Girl!!!!

I can confidently say I can walk the 5K at a reasonable speed without passing out so by October I just have to increase it to a run...YES I CAN!!!!
