My Goal is to finish P90X!

[ Weight Loss Rewards ]
If I manage to maintain these weights for 1 week +, I get the reward. :]
Note: I am very horse-motivated hah.

`125 -- Bluing for DaVinci
`120 -- Bikini from VS
`118 -- New Converses!
`116 -- New Mizuno Shoes.
`115 -- Beach Trip!

From AUGUST 15, 2010 to NOVEMBER 12, 2010 I'm going to get in shape. Not try, I'm gonna do it for real this time. Because I'm going 20 and there's no excuse, I've been putting this s**t off since I was 14. I got really depressed while my dad was sick and dropped all the weight and a few organs too I think (98lbs) then got bigger than I ever want to be.


goals; avoid most soda, be able to run!, work out on the days I don't ride, all while maintaining a 3.50 GPA at University. Bwahaha. [/evilplan]

Eating more healthful foods without starving myself, and exercising a LOT more.
I also want to not neglect grooming (i.e. keep nails/brows in check, etc.) I don't want to be frumpy anymore.

Thoughts of the Day:
I know I'm weird and eat like dinner food for breakfast. Oops. Oh, well. I need to try to keep my dinners before 7 and not eat after that.
Also, I really need to take a before pic + measurements before I lose too much weight. ;D [/hopes and dreams] Andandand my stupid grandmother is driving me nuts. She's one of the "I was rich and spoiled" people, but now she's old and still thinks she needs to be worshipped and nothing is good enough for her and no one is good enough for me etc. She's just annoying and complains about how no one loves her all day and how she doesn't have friends here but she won't go OUTSIDE to see another human being.. as far as I'm concerned, one has to take initiative for oneself at some point in life, and if you're 70 and still not taking said initiative, don't complain to me about it.

Thoughts of the Day:
I thought I ate a lot healthier than I guess I did yesterday. In summation, don't use a bagel for a sandwich, even if you don't have bread. 'Twas good though.
I really need to start walking/being more active, too. I was really disappointed when I saw that I was the same weight, I felt a lot slimmer today than normal. It's ok though, it's only day 3! I can't expect miracles.
I'm in Florida and it's 46*F outside. Ahhhh! So cold! I miss 90 degrees. ):


OH MY GOSH. SO HOW ABOUT I FORGOT I HAVE A POOL. gonk Swimming as soon as it gets cooler out. That sounds bad, I just moved in though so it's not like I'm a ditz I swear. D:

[ End-of-Week Analysis; ]

It's a short week this week I guess but it's important to reflect on the week as far as all of my goals are going.

[happy]. I'm drinking a lot more water since starting my journal and I'm really proud of that. I'm trying to think more consciously of water intake as well as healthier choices, and I'm resisting the urge to eat unhealthy foods and "give up" and opt for fast food (I've gotten really bad about eating out lately).

[sad]. I'm kind of disappointed that I haven't lost any weight but it's a process, so it's ok. I'm also kind of shocked, because I thought that I was a lot more active than I really am. It's partially the cold and partially the winter-break, but I've been eating the same amount of food with half the work.

That's a really good idea to have a reflection day. I might start doing that.

Remember actually pound loss won't always appear because if you loose weight with exercise, you will be gaining weight in muscle. I weigh the same as I did two months ago, but all of my cloths fit looser, so I know I am losing fat and gaining muscle.  

[Stars in my Pocket]

@Goldenlici; Yeah, I'm just happy that I'm feeling good - it's not so much results yet (I don't have that slimmer feeling anymore) but I'm happy because I'm making a change! <3 So it's good. c:  

[Goldenlici]

Yeah, even when I don't loss weight, if I follow my goals of a good diet and exercise, I just feel so much better. It's cliche, but I really do have more energy and everyday stuff just doesn't seem as hard and stressful.

Thoughts of the Day:
I actually had to force myself to eat oatmeal yesterday for dinner, as the soup was pretty filling and I was happy at that. But that would have put me at under 1,000cal which is no good.
AND I BROKE MY 3-DAY PLATEAU! :D [/purejoy]
I'm coaching today at 3:30 (teaching horseback riding lessons) so I think that I'm covered for exercise basically. It's so cold! I barely want to get out of bed, much less even THINK about riding today. It's 35 degrees outside. x_____x;;

I got my period and binged the fXXX out. I have problems with food.

CURRENT PHOTO 01/04/2010 (click!) Warning: Undies.

Ok so this is at 131.0lbs (woke up 129.8, had breakfast and a half liter of water already. I'm glad I got these pictures up, kind of. I look horrible, compared to what I used to be. But this is motivation more than anything!

I'm technically a 'healthy weight' but I don't carry it well, at all. My thighs are weird and have like a lump on the upper-insides, I guess that's just how they're shaped? And um. I constantly have a red line across the top of my stomach from my poochie belly always having a crease. I want to get rid of that too.

I'm not curvy I'm like, pointy. gonk My stomach points out and my thighs touch at like a point. I'm standing with my feet shoulder width apart btw.

Also I apologize for lack of lighting. There are a bunch of people in this house doing construction so I ran to the restroom to do it.

COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED. GIMME FEEDBACK. <3  

[Goldenlici]

You really don't look that bad. I think for you it's more about toning than actually loosing weight. The fact that your belly sticks out might be because of a lack of stomach muscles rather than any extra fat. And, of course, toning will involve a fat loss.

Yeah. I mean I'm really active but I don't know what's going on. My body hates me. :B
I'm going to start exercising more. 3nodding

Thoughts of the Day:
Y HALO THAR, TOM. I hate my period so much. Tons of aches/cramps/sadness. And I get emotional and eat.
I think I have PMDD because I get really depressed and question everything about my life for about a day or two before my cramps start (1-3 days before menstruation). I have other physical symptoms as well but they all basically line up to PMDD. Lame.

I'm going to WalMart and buying Jillian Michael's 30-day Shred. I decided. Thanks to Goldenlici actually who has inspired me. (: <3 I'm going to try my best and stick with it! I might not actually start until tomorrow as I am cleaning today and will probably be too tired after tearing through an entire house to do the boot camp. (I clean my grandmother's house bi-weekly and trust me, it's a chore.)

Also, I'm proud I ate a whole can of carrots. I hate veggies so it's a baby step!

I ate way too light today but I'm not feeling well and I don't want to stuff myself at 8pm. /:
