So I havn’t been dieting by the book, atleast consiously, and my weight went down! I’m SO excited, moral of the story, being active ine very day life, daily workouts, eating healthy and small portions does pay off even if you are feeling like you are cheating on your diet!

I’m down 128 today only 1 lb away from my mini goal!

I’ve stocked up on fruits and veggies and skim milk and wheat english muffins, so along with my lean cuisines that will be my intake for 3 weeks!

I was good, but now I’ll be VERY strict 1200 a day, period no excuses. Working out daily, no excuses! String bikini in 5 weeks!!! YAY!!!

Planning an entire day’s work of meals ahead of time isn’t really hard. The night before, I use the app in my phone but I’m sure good ol’ paper would work too, to decide what I will eat the next day. I think of the food I have in my fridge, what spoils first, like fresh fruits and veggies,or defrosted meats, and decide that way. Not only do I end up actually using the foods before they go bad, I feel in tremendous control of my day. Because of the fact that my day is so scheduled with classes, gym and work, I can absolutely pre-plan, pre-cut,pre-bag, pre-measure, everything in the morning of the night before when I have the free time. If I don’t “feel” like eating the food I decided then I’m probably not that hungry! Its been two days and I have stuck to everything that I wrote and so far I’m hungry enough to eat and love all of my choices, after all I’m the one shopping and choosing the foods, then preparing them the way I like, no excuses!!

 Now I have even more of a reason to be very serious about my diet!!!

For graduation my bestfriend and I are going to the beach, Florida or the Caribbean. I thought I couldn’t do it becuase of finances but I got that straightened out and now I’m super excited. If that isn’t a boost of motivation I don’t know what is!!

My fridge is stocked with talapia, pollock, shrimp, crab, chicken for veggies lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, radishes, cucumbers, squash, carrots, the fruit so yummy, avocadoes, mangoes, oranges, apples,strawberries and grapes. Work outs everyday of course,pre-planned meals and the right attitude I’ll get there!

I admit I can’t get over the off track life I had over break which contributed to not so great health choices. I still think its a miracle that I didn’t gain any weight, seriously, I was 132 by the end of the , but it must of been water weight the salt I ate, because after eating back on track and a solid workout I still weight 130. My throat is feeling scratchy and nose runny-ish, I hope I’m not getting sick, because I went on barely no sleep yesterday. Well today I had plenty of water already and a vitamin and fruit, I will have some chicken noodle for lunch, and drink a lot more water.

Well no weight gain= I’m happy!

I will try to get down to 129 by the end of this week, hopefully the flu won’t hold me back.

Didn’t sleep last night, at all! By 5 am I figured I might as well shower and pack for school, on the road I tried not to sleep because I knew my brother who was driving was just as tired, and wanted to be a good road partner. When I got back, after I stuffed my lean cuisines into the freezer I slept for 3 or so hours, missing two lectures. I forced myself to wake up and go to the gym before work. The workout was surprisingly great, I did cardio for an hour! I’ve been to tired to each  much today so I’ve just been drinking alot of water. I get off work at 8, hopefully after I wind down I will be able to fall asleep at a normal hour. Not as bad of a day as it could have been

Work outs over break:

Two half an hour runs

One 20 min ab workouts

30 push ups 3 days in a row

Nothing like an hour at the gym everyday, but  I will be back in the routine starting tomorrow. The routine also means healthy scheduled eating and no dining out, so this week is gonna be hard core. I’m excited to get to the gym and my itunes library is ready. I downloaded 2 SHAPE magazines and those will be good reads

I have been home with my parents since Friday, and the break of the class, gym, sleep routine has disrupted my eating, I even had a day where I went up to 2000 calories in a day. The second I typed that I realized how important it is to me and how determined I am to stick to me 1200-1400 calorie plan. As tempting as it been,  I have not stopped counting my calories, thank God for the application on my phone that won’t let me slide! My bestfriend likes to eat out, but I did pick grilled chicken and non creamy soups so far. Most calories have been from the snacks my mother keeps around the house, and the hunger at night since I’ve been staying up later. Even thought I’m on my feet more than I would be with my classes, it has been raining a lot and I couldn’t run, I did double of my DVD workout which is killing my abs still!

I will get up reasonable early tomorrow to get in at least a 30 minute run since it shouldn’t rain, and I was thinking about starting push ups because I have a fear of saggy boobs as a result of weight-loss.

When I student observed today, I was allowed to perform a surgery, which was so exciting, I couldn’t be happier with the career path which I’ve chosen.  Besides the shadowing I have not been very productive, which is why after my run, I will work on some paperwork for medical school and finish my DNA sequencing for my Molecular Bio class, I want to get begin and finish the psychology project and begin the  molecular chromosome project on Wednesday. I know that must have been boring to read but I had to get it out in writing to make sure I finish those things because with a deadline far in next week, I will procrastinate without making promises of deadlines, even if it’s to fellow dieters, haha.

I don’t have problems with excuses, but I pride myself in honesty and I have to constantly remind myself that excuses are nothing more than lies.

The ultimate goal of this spring break is really to make sure I don’t gain any weight and return back to my scheduled life on Sunday 130 lbs and get a head start on school work.

-Stretchmarks

-Cellulite, especially the back of the leg

-Fat cells never die

-Greasy unhealthy skin

-Bloated-ness

I think about these things sometimes, but I want to start reminding myself more often. Many are hard to reserve and I would prefer never to have to attempt to!  I’m very grossed out by these things and they are a consequence of fatty junk food, so if I think of this list it might help me avoid them.
