Can’t believe I let my blog stagnate. Or can I? I mean, I do it all the time :D At any rate, this is my first post since November 7th. I should be whipped. Yes, whipped. With cream. Whipped cream.
Just a short update since class is about to start and I’m bored, sitting here waiting, listening to Lady GaGa and drinking hot chocolate. I’m in a good place right now. I started going to the gym Sunday and have went 3 times this week. I have to miss today but I’m going to make up for it by doing some yoga.
In October I was told I weighted 228 lbs, but I hadn’t done any exercise yet, just changed my eating habits, and by Thanksgiving I’d lost 10 pounds. Since I started going to the gym I’ve lost 3 pounds. I really only walk around the track for over an hour, but it is the fast-paced walking that actually does something, not the normal gate I see others going at. Based on what I was told in October I need to loose 10% of my body weight, and I’m already over half-way there. I would really like to loose down to about 160-70 (which I actually feel is healthy for my height), but I’m not sure what is a healthy and practical expectation for that. If I could loose 10 pounds a month, I’d be down to that in no time. My clothes are already getting loose on me and so on. My roommate said my pants look too large. I will be going to the gym every day I can get there and hope that I can make my dream a reality. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me, yeah? I really want to do this thing right.
I don’t know if it is because I’m exercising, my birth control pills, or whatever, but I can’t eat lately. It’s horrible. I feel like I’m full even though I’ve hardly eaten anything and I can’t figure out why. Today, the most I’ve ate is a quarter of a Chik-fil-la grilled chicken sandwich. Maybe not even that much. Aside from the hot chocolate, I doubt I’ll be eating anything else today. I know this isn’t healthy, but I can’t make myself eat. I’m not even getting enough food or sustenance to support my workouts! If we burn about 2k calories a day normally, and I’m not getting 2k, or anywhere near it, then how am I making it? I really feel like I should have been eating more. I need to figure this stuff out.
Other than that, I’m happy with the weight loss and want to keep it up. Wish me luck!!
