Inspiration Pictures

January 30, 2010 / Twix / No comments

It’s been so odd yet so refreshing to see my itty bitty waist again. I’m going to have to invest in a pair or two of new pants, though. Belts are hardly helping.

Still on the clean eating kick… I get in a few non-clean snacks here and there. I still manage to have fun and eat fun foods with my friends; hopefully in this upcoming week I will be able to get in to the gym (yeah, it’s crazy… I lost 10 pounds without going to the gym. Talk about cleaning up the way you eat!). I’ve fiddled around my schedule so there is gym time and study time scheduled in there. I won’t lose! =)

Anyway. I found some pictures of women whose physiques I use as my inspiration to kick my own butt. Here’s for 10 more pounds of weight loss come February! 186, here I come!


10 pounds down!

January 22, 2010 / Twix / No comments

I told myself at the beginning of the year that I was going to lose 10 pounds a month for the next five months, so that I would get to my target weight (156 lbs). I have been eating a ton better, have been making plans to go to the gym (am starting this next week), and recently people have been telling me that I “look like I have lost some weight”.

Last night, I was feeling horrendous -chills, feverish, all sorts of nasty things – and I ended up going to the doctor today to get checked out. Doc said she had to weigh me, and I was like, “okay, okay. Same story. I get on, scale says 206, I get off”.

I got on the scale.

196.2 pounds.

WAHOO!

If I have lost 10 pounds from just better eating, then exercise is gonna really melt these pounds!

Sorry that I haven’t written in awhile!

Some very quick updates:

  • Relaxed my hair on 1/11/10. Am going to cut the split ends that I keep catching, though that goes against this challenge that I took. Am going to have to ask the challengers if cutting the split ends is against the rules if I notice that they’re causing breakage. I don’t think they are.
  • I start classes next week on Tuesday.
  • Will be purchasing my car tomorrow so that I can get to classes and the gym on campus. Will have to configure my schedule so that I can squeeze in that.
  • Will be searching out another part-time job in the area to do after classes end for the day. I have decided that I want to be able to afford my 1 bedroom apartment, insurance for my car, gas, and utilities myself. Being dependent on another person sucks, especially if that person ends up being unable to pull their own weight… That’s more later, or not.
  • Have to look into getting the braces put on soon. My two molars on the left side of my mouth DEFINITELY have to go. Will talk to a dentist/orthodontist about getting the other molar on the right side and the wisdom teeth next to all these molars pulled in order to accommodate my braces.
  • I have been working on a lot of projects, including a e-magazine for black females and a farming simulation MMO game. I need to get all of this plotted in on weekends or something.
  • Will be setting up my personal-care maintenance schedule. I already have meals for the week planned, so that lunch won’t be a major panic during the week.
The biggest thing here is that I have GOT to get serious about losing this weight. I read from notes that I took that I promised my doctor in September or August that I would lose 20 pounds in the three months after that… didn’t happen. My pants don’t fit as tightly as they did before (so I guess I am losing weight at the waist), but I have eaten cookies, ice cream, and other Not Good gunk in the past few days, many times in substitute of meals. Hectic schedule, but that’s not a good enough excuse.
(though, not having much food to choose from in the house due to not having a car definitely may count)
I want to be the best me I can be. May 2010, I will be 156 pounds. Mark my words. I’ve gotta kick it into gear here.
