Weight Loss Ups and Downs

1

05/09

Like a lot of quests where we find ourselves succeeding and reaching goals and new highs, we all always eventually become trapped in bumpy roads of “failures”.

I was overeating and neglecting exercising. I haven’t weighed myself in probably two weeks now. I do not feel down about it because I’m discovering a lot of things about myself personally, and I’m opening myself more to “risky” situations. I feel more accomplished!

I bought a lot of supplements in the weekend that “may” help with my anxiety and other things so I’ll review them if I see improvements. I will also open a checking account in a week or two. This will be a birth of a new shopaholic! Uh oh!

Easy Fried Rice Recipe

2

04/28

1 bag of pre-boiled brown rice

1/3 cup (85g) of frozen vegetables

2 tbsp of organic soy sauce

1 tbsp of organic, extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp of organic agave nectar

Chopped onions

Boil brown rice and frozen vegetables according to instructions. Once finished, turn heat on pan, add oil. Put onions and vegetables. Cook until onion is translucent, then add brown rice. Put soy sauce and agave nectar. Mix, cook. Serve and enjoy!

Most of the sodium comes from the soy sauce, so decrease it to 1 tbsp if you don’t want it to be too salty. If you want a more sweeter taste, add more agave nectar.

Yum!

Edit: I was feeling very stressed out about school because of the workload, and I have trouble finding an apartment; I’m looking for a job that doesn’t involve flipping burgers because I’m a vegan, and afterwards, I became frustrated with my mom for a bad reason ALL WHILE thinking about a potentially busy day tomorrow because I have to fix a very big mistake I made today. I was so stressed out in fact, it made me meditate for 10 minutes which I’ve never done before. I was inhaling and exhaling deeply during the session. I tried to clear my mind but Jack3d was still in my system so I was feeling jittery. I attempted to try transcendental meditation but I don’t think I did it correctly because it requires you to completely clear your mind of all thoughts. Even though the meditation was technically wrong, it calmed me down a lot. I think meditation might be the answer to my anxieties! I’m so excited to try this everyday!

Weight Loss Progress #6

04/22

I weighed in the afternoon yesterday, but I don’t think it’s accurate because I drank water and I didn’t go to the bathroom yet. This morning, I woke up, went to the bathroom and weighed myself. I am now 194.8lbs. This is officially 72.2lbs weight loss!

Weight Loss Progress #5

04/21

I weigh 196lbs, so this is officially 71lbs total weight loss.

 

This is what I ate when I woke up. I know it looks like lunch, but I’m not a typical American who eat certain foods for each meal. I eat whatever the hell I want, so I made a mock tuna sandwich made with pumpernickel bread, chickpeas/garbanzo beans, bread and butter pickles, vegenaise, avocado, tomato and onion slices with two california mandarin. I also ate 1 serving of Cheerios, which has high glycemic index. No more of that…

My Diet and Workout Plan

2

04/16

Diet

Maximum caloric intake: 1400 calories
Average this week: 1100 calories
Foods I consume a lot:
Beans, quinoa, seitan, agave nectar (to sweeten), apple cider vinegar (in replacement of sea salt), extra virgin olive oil, onion, garlic, tomato paste, chili pepper (I have a very high tolerance for spicy foods).

Workout

30 day shred during the week. I know the plan is to do it everyday, but I think it’s fine to workout 5 days a week. I think the whole 30 day thing is a gimmick, so screw that.
15 squats (sometimes! I have a exercise ball that I love).
Average calories burned: 237.6 calories

I actually have the DVD, which only sell for $6.64 on Amazon (the price keeps dropping because I bought it for $6.99 2 weeks ago), but I found this on Youtube for free. I recommend buying the DVD, though.

Weight loss so far: 69lbs

Websites I recommend

0

04/15

3FatChicks.com

Message board for mostly women who are trying to be healthy. It’s a great support system and for those who are inquiring about everything that pertains to your diet and exercise. It’s also great to ask real opinions on weight loss products.

Livestrong.com

My favorite website. I use it everyday to track my food intake and workout sessions. Helps with calorie counting.

My Body Gallery

This is truly a website full of real women. There are basically many pictures for every woman of different sizes, and you get a real taste of diversity. Punch in your weight and height and you’ll find a gallery of women who are the same size as you.

Weight Progress #3

When I returned home from school yesterday, I weighed 198.8lbs. My weight fluctuates all the time because I weighed myself again and I was 199.2lbs. At least I’m out of the 200lbs range. I will definitely post my food intake and my workout regimen later.

Twitter; Quick thought

0

04/11

I made a twitter account because I thought I should be more “involved” since I’m very out of it.

It was already a disaster for me because it took me forever to set it up. I should be working out right now but instead I was consumed with finding people I like to follow, making an avatar, and being annoyed AND fascinated with the trends. I actually could have finished my workout right about now but I decided to waste time on that SHIT instead… I swear a lot when I’m agitated.

I’m not one to follow fads. I tried it before and I swear I never quite enjoyed it like everybody else because there’s something programmed in me that immediately invokes feelings of shame for being “involved” with trendy shit. I had a myspace when I was 11 but I deleted it after a few months because I became a gossip queen with this one girl and I didn’t want to do it anymore. I never had facebook because I was uninterested (still am) and once had a twitter account JUST to respond to a Sarah Palin tweet that I didn’t like (something about her defending a celebrity therapist who attempted to justify the usage of “nigger” because African Americans use it, too).

I. Should. Be. Working. Out.

In an unrelated, happier light, I’m down to 198.8lbs. Hurrah for weight loss and time-wasting! (Fuck you Twitter.)

Edit (4:25AM): I worked out shortly after this entry but only for 15 minutes. I actually became concerned with my health because I haven’t been drinking adequately and yet I was sweating every ounce of water I had in my body. I didn’t eat anything from 7AM to 5PM at the time so I stopped midway of the 30 day shred. Even though I was sweating bullets, I didn’t take my daily shower because I honestly was getting exhausted and I had to eat and drink something. After the meal, I slept for 5 hours, was woken up by my noisy mom, and I’ve been awake ever since. Now I’m getting a little sleepy again but it’s too late now to sleep. I seriously cannot wait until the weekend so I can get some rest.
