[A Touch of Evil]

[ biggrin Welcome to my Log! Support/comments are welcome! biggrin ]

Starting Weight: 174
Current Weight: 176.5

Last year I started a journal, but then I stopped keeping track after losing about 23 pounds. Since so much time has passed by, I want to start over fresh and new, and continue my dieting.

[Name] Sarah

[Age] 22

[Height] 5' 5.5"

[Highest weight ever] 197 pounds

[Starting weight] 174 pounds

[Starting BMI] 28.5 (Over weight)

[Ultimate Goal] 130 pounds


[**EDIT as of Friday, Mar 25, 2011**]
My weight still fluctuates between 173 and 176, but I'm not complaining because I'm so happy I haven't gained weight since last year. I've been craving a good run so I think I'm going to start running again. The rainy weather finally stopped and the sun is out. My ultimate goal is to lose 44 pounds which will get me down to 130, but my main goal right now is to lose 20 pounds (or possibly more) by August 16 (which is the start of my university experience). I basically want to get down to either 150 or 152 since that is the border of a healthy bmi for me. Then I'll lose the last 25 pound at school, it shouldn't be to hard since I'll be living on campus come august. But for now, I have to be dedicated...I can't give up and this guild has never failed me before when I needed motivation so I know I can count on you guys! <3

It felt good running again but it was very tiring. I'm so out of shape. crying I could have done better with the food too, like eating italian dressing instead of ranch and overall just smaller portions.

My legs are SOOO soar from yesterday's run, so today I just took it easy, the next time I run will probably be Monday because Matthew wants to run with me. Also, I'm going to change my entries and divide all the food into categories like breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, instead of just listing them with bullet points.

I recently found out some disturbing news about my body (on Monday I received this news) and ever since, I haven't been paying attention to what I eat or if I exercise. So, this coming Monday, I'm going to the doctors to correct it, the medicine I have to take afterwards have some side affects like nausea, fever, and some other stuff so I have to take it easy for about a week, then I can go back to running.  

[hanafan36]

aww, I hope you're okay!

I was running errands today so I couldn't exercise or really focus on food. After my body gets back under control, I can start watching my intake and outake. After Tuesday, I can't exercise for at least 7 to 14 days....this is going to suck...I can't wait until I get back to normal...

I over ate on my lunch break but oh well. I've been emotionally eating lately because I'm stressed about multiple things. Monday is getting closer and I'm so nervous about those meds I have to take and how I'll react to them. Then Tuesday I might miss class if I'm in pain from Monday's doctor appointment. But that's when both my labs are due as well as my take home quiz. I have to spend all day tomorrow finishing as much as I can before Monday and Tuesday.
