This week has been pretty good. I decided to go back to WW's on Monday...187.4 I believe. Atleast I hadn't gained any in the 3 weeks I had missed. (Of course, my bathroom scale said I was around 180)...but that's okay :-)

I'm pretty sure I've done really well this week. I dipped below my flex points by a couple, but I didn't use any activity points throughout the week, which should make up for it.

I don't really like that my WI is on Monday, but thatll have to do. I've done REALLY good about exercising this week. Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday...(and tomorrow) I've walked about 35 minutes each day, and done lots of weights/toning exercises. I hope my hard work shows up on the scale Monday!

I'm craving...have been craving..am still craving pizza. I want it so bad!

3/8/05 04:44 pm - whew..day one..of a new beginning

Exercise: 30 minutes walking (different paces), 60 crunches w/ leg lifts in between, arm exercises, back exercises, thigh squats, butt lifts

 

It feels good.....prom....skinny....

Add this walking plan, plus my daily arm exercises, crunches, etc, AND the Wendie/WW plan...Damn. I really hope I can stick with this. It needs to happen.

3/5/05 10:27 pm - It's going to be amazing...

So, I got my prom dress today. It wasn't what I had in mind, but I really like it. I want to look and feel like a diva prom night. I want my date to think I am the most beautiful girl there, even if I'm not.
I want to look better in the dress than I do now.

I want to work out my arms, my back, and lose some of my stomach/thighs. I don't know how fast/much I can lose/tone before prom, but I want to look amazing. I dont know what's going to happen afterwards, but I want to be ready. I want to look my best.

I have ONE month and 18 days until prom.
I'm supposed to workout with Laura atleast one day a week. And then tan. (Speaking of tanning, I need to get DARRRRRK for my white dress)
I am starting the "Wendie Plan" on Wednesday. I'm going to try and start exercising tomorrow. (if I have time..lots of hmwk.)

I know if I put my mind to it, I can lose A LOT before prom. The question is, how bad do I want it, and what is my motivation?

REAL BAD. HIM.

2/23/05 04:21 pm - oh yeah...

I bought and FIT into my first size 12 pants. They are dress pants, which probably run slightly bigger, but still! I have a date for prom now, so I really have a reason to workout. I'm going to go walk for atlesat 30 minutes right now. I've eaten good and not gone over my points so far this week, and I'm really proud. I'm on track, and just want to lose as much weight as I can before prom/prom fashion show. Considering I'm going with someone I like, and a bunch of skinny girls..I don't want to look really bad. I've done a lot of suprising things this week which includes asking someone to prom, even though he is semi-involved? (?) with his ex-gf. I don't know how much "fun" prom will be with him, but we'll see. I really want to look great and have a good time! Yay for ambition!

I also did 100 crunches lastnight, which I'd never have been able to do before. 182? I think I will weigh in on Thursday mornings. Yay!

Okay..I need some advice. Feel free to comment :-D

I've been doing WW for the past like, 6 months...and I think I know the program pretty well. I've decided to stop wasting my mom's money to pay the weekly fee, and just do it on my own. SO we bought a nice scale and everything..I was wondering..

*When is a good day to weigh-in and when is a good time. I want to get the most accurate reading. I'm thinking Sundays...but since its RIGHT after the weekend, I dunno.

Another dilemma....

I'm in a Prom Fashion Show at my school (where certain girls/boys are picked to model dresses in front of the school)..We pick out dresses on the 5-6 for the fashion show on the 17th. I need some really effective exercises so I can lose as much weight as possible (healthily of course) by the 5-6th.

Also, Prom is on April 23..and I HAVE to look good for that. Im' going to workout and eat right like crazy up until then, but I'm trying to decide when I should start looking/picking out dresses becuase, I want to have lost as much weight as possible for then (atleast some of my stomach and my arms) Plus, for a "bigger" girl, I know there are certain prom dress styles to avoid, and some to approach (ex: empire style)

SO...if anyone knows a time in the day when your weight is more accurate, effective exercises, and when to look for a dress/what style..I would appreciate your help SOOOOO much!

1/30/05 12:35 pm - A flashback of the pink journal....to preserve a memory, and to prevent another mistake...

I wish I had the discipline I once had towards the end of the school year and summer. I would eat light, healthy things-maybe too light at times, but, nevertheless, I had control. I wasn't constantly thinking about food-I wasn't constantly eating food all the time. Even when I started Weight Watchers, I was EXCITED and READY for a change. I am still ready for the challenge, but too lazy to do it. I think, "A little bite of this here, and a little bite of that couldn't possibly matter." Well, yeah, that's gotten me yo-yoing weight every week. I know band doesn't help. I know having all kinds of food surrounding me doesn't help, but thats part of the battle. LEARNING how to control urges, and making lifestyle changes. I love when I am successful-like one week I lost 3.3 pounds, and I was on top of the world. But then there is always some food that sounds good, or some food everyone else is eating (although it shouldn't matter to me). I keep saying "next week will be better. tomorrow will be better", and it certainly isn't any better. Maybe once band trips are over. Yeah, yeah, I've said that hundreds of times. I have so many things to be "skinnier" or "healthier" for, like band trips, prom, boys, the summer, marching band..EVERYTHING. But as good as wanting to be skinny for these things are, it's most important that I want to be skinny for myself. A good friend once told me, "You have to want the change, for yourself." I hope in the future I can eat when I'm hungry, and stop when I'm full. I hope I can control my urges to snack, and urges to binge. I hope I can make wise decisions about food choices, no matter what situation I am in. I hope that I can stop the feeling of needing and wanting to eat everytime someone else does, or eating because its there, or eating because its convenient. I hope I stop eating when I'm bored, or when I'm sad, or when I'm happy. I want to stop social eating. Most of all, I wish I could stop worrying about food-what's for dinner? What can I eat right now? What if I don't have time to eat? I worry about not eating. This entry isn't to complain, or to whine-it's so I can come back and read this, and it will hopefully be old news. As for life and WW goes, it's all a matter of time, and my watch is a litle slow.

Wow, I just did like 10 minutes of fat-burning Pilates. That's all I could do, but wow..I like it. It's tough though, but I'm going to keep it up as much as possible. Exercise is what's keeping me from losing weight.

1/29/05 07:15 pm

So...here I am again. Yet, another weight loss journal. Yet another failed attempt at keeping something up.
I've been on Weight Watchers since, July. 6 months. How much have I lost? Only about 20. I lose some, I gain some. I stay on track, I get off track. It's that simple.
I've always wanted to be thinner. Just because. Now, I feel like I want to be skinny for the wrong reasons-so people will like me more, so boys will like me more, so bla bla bla.
I have to want it for myself. and I do. I just get off track very easily. The past month, I had a fling with a boy. I lost weight because I never ate while I was around him, because I'm conscious of that. Now, we're over. and so is "not eating"
Eating is such a social part of my life. When I hang out with friends, we always go eat. Always. All of my Christmas money was spent on food. Seriously.
Now, I just really want to lose the weight, to get back on track with Weight Watchers. But there is always some food that tastes good. Or I'll say "I'll start tomorrow", and then I never do. It's beacuse when I go out to eat, I splurge sometimes. It's hard.
Now, I want to be skinny. Because I got a taste of boys, and I want that more. I want a boyfriend. I miss kissing. I miss THAT boy. I miss him.
People tell me I'm pretty all of the time, boys also. I really think it's my weight that turns them off. I'm not super fat, but I'm not skinny. I really need to get back on track, and I really need someone, in one of these communities to buddy up with me. Preferably someone on Weight Watchers, But I'm not picky.
Prom is April 23...and I'd like to lose atleast 20 pounds by then. I know I can do it, I can lose even more. Please!
I think "he" is enough inspiration but..I don't know.
