Lime's Road to Success

[[subL!ME]]

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.
If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” - Lance Armstrong

My Road to Success:
Starts with starting over, making good choices,
and following through.
To take life as it comes; and not get strung up by other's views.
To start this road is fearful, but exciting.
Knowing that I'll make lots of changes and find hardships on the way.
To be able to overcome my mental mindset.
And say that I'm better than okay.
My Road to Success, may not be that easy.
But I've decided to start with support this time, to help me make sure I'll be able to make it through.

“The key to change... is to let go of fear.” - Rosanne Cash

My Goals:
-To go from 20% body fat to 15% body fat.
-To be able to cope with my heart defect and learn my limits of exercise/sport playing
-To learn to make healthy choices, and to be able to eat right
-To gain Self Confidence in myself, and not let others bring me down

“If you do not feel comfortable with your body as it is, you are not likely to feel comfortable sharing it with someone else.
Weight loss may help give you a more positive outlook about your body.
Regular exercise and eating healthy can also help improve body image,
even without weight loss.” - Lona Sandon

About Me:
Hello. My name is Beth, or if you prefer, Lime.
I joined this guild so that I could get support from fellow members who are trying to achieve what I want.
To shed those fatty pounds and look amazing.
My stats are as follows:
-Age: 15
-Height: 5'9"
-Weight: 130-135lbs
-Percent Body Fat: 20%
If you want to know more about me. Just ask.
I'm always up for conversations.

“I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else.
I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it.
Life is never dull.” - Oprah Winfrey

Weigh Ins:

Weigh ins occur every Sunday of the week.
The recording goes weight and than percentage fat.
However, the percentage fat is off on my scale because it depends how hydrated you are.
I will get a expert recording by the pinch test at the end of June.
So don't be concerned if it varies a lot.
Starting Weight: 130.0lbs - 20%
03.06.07: 132.4lbs - 21.9%
10.06.07: 131.6lbs - 22.9%

off set body fat percentage because dehydrated D:

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” - Mary Anne Radmacher

Post Format:

Use it, abuse it. Do whatever you wish with it.
I don't mind in the least.

- I need to start weaning off my snacks during the day, because they are unhealthy. If I am still hungry I should consider eating larger meals.
- Once school ends I'll be able to make healthier decisions for lunches.
- I need to have a larger intake of water or other healthy drinks (fruit juices, Gatorade, etc.)

Comments:
I totally blew off the beginning of my routine because I had to take a road trip to visit family. I therefore wasn't able to fit time in to exercise and I didn't keep track of what I ate. (My extended family lives on a farm so everything is either fresh or fried.)
I will start up again tomorrow.

Comments:
The only meal I am able to control what I eat right now is breakfast and snacks. I was okay during breakfast, but the problem is snacking. I need to find something that fills me up so I don't go back to unhealthy snacking.
At least I exercised today.  

[[subL!ME]]

Going through some rough times right now.
I have currently gained 2 pounds because of a recent death in my family.
So stress and sadness is at an all time high.
When I get sad or stressed, I eat junk food. Resulting in the gain of pounds, and an increase in fat percentage.
Hopefully I'll be able to find a better way of coping.
I have started a journal. So maybe that will help a bit.
I'm seriously going to exercise and watch what I eat this week.
I may not be able to choose what foods I eat, but I can eat them in the correct proportions. That will be my goal this week.
=)

Wow. Ate really badly today.
Still in the depressed because of family situations.
It's Saturday and I know I haven't updated much, but now I will get back on track with that.
During the time I haven't logged I've done 4 hours of bike riding with friends. Which is positive. Plus I was eating semi-healthy. I can't believe I didn't log it. T.T

Comments:
Oh my gosh. This is my best day for exercise ever so far. I never knew 2 hours of basketball practice just running drills could burn that many calories. I was shocked when I looked down at my heart/calorie monitor. But in a good way! Monday - Thursday is basketball practice. So I'm glad I'll be getting good results 4 days of the week at least that's set in stone. I need to pay more attention to what I eat though.
