i do lat pull downs and when i used to afford a gym membership i used to do rows and assisted pull ups etc.. i ccant afford a membership right now… my condo tho has a mini exercise room with a pool cardio qquipment and free weights.. so im using that for now untill i can budget a gym membership in.  im going to have to learn more free weight techniques until i get my gym mebership because when i used to have one i mostly used the machines

 my measurments:

chest 35.8

waist 30.5

hips 37.5

 thigh 22.3 and 22.4

 biceps 10. 5

my sister measured me, she is a pft. so she knew exactly where to measure from her text books

i plan on remeasuring in a months time

my injury still kinda hurts today i think i might give it one more day.;. or two.. we will see hopefully it will be all good

my calories are going well !!!

GASH U HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I HATE THEM. WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR IT GROSSES ME OUT SO MUCH, YOU ALL WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN THEY DISAPEAR. THEY DRIVE ME NUTS.  I will try a shirt or dress on and it will look hot everywhere but then then itll be too tight in the back… arg arg arg  it kinda discouraging me today but im sticking with ym plan!!! I’m not going to give up, even thought i feel upset at the moment

i just wanna celebrate day 28 yayyy today is gonna be a good day so far I have had 100 cals with an activia yogurt!

I think i pulled some muscles in my left thigh ( at least i hope thats all it is) so i was not able to exercise today, and im making myself take it easy for the next few days even though i dont want to. I learned my lessons not to make small injuries into more complicated ones long ago. At age 15 i was playing b ball and tore my acl… i had the injury for a year and 8 months b4 i even could get an mri… i finally got surgury. There have been screws in my knee for 6 yrs now… it was not a fun time…. but yah.. so no exercising for me for the next few days every time i try it hurts .lol booo.. it sucks but such is life… im just going to have to wait it out… btw day 26 cal wise is going well its 7 oclock and i still have 150 cals left !

when looked at a pack of bergel today ( its similair to rice except a diff sort of grain for those of u who do not know what bergel is ) I do not know if i am even spelling it right… anyway i was looking at the pack and it said 170 for 1/4 a cup… now i got confused is that cooked or uncooked… because if it is 170 for uncooked that makes a lot of bergel and it is worth eating but if it  is 170 for 1 /4 a cup cooked then that is not a lot and is very high in calories… does anyone know what nutritional labels mean on pasta and rice and bergel…. are they refeering to the cooked or uncooked? im guessing uncooked because when its cooked it bigger because of the water weight.

anyway it is day 26 for me and i am doing quite well

I was looking in the mirror today thinking that i have a long way to go. But I didnt want to let the arduous journey ahead take away from what I’ve already accomplished. Instead of looking at all thats to be done I should look at what ive done today and be proud of that . Losing weight is not something that happens over night. It’s something that you have to stick to every day,  which means it’s not always the easiest. Its a journey filled with moments of strength and moments of weakness. Its a journey mostly powered by faith, because  the results dont always appear instantly in front of your eyes. It takes intense perseverence. Thats why im glad that I can blog about it on here, because this isn’t easy. I have lots of days ahead of me, but  Thank goodness i have faith, blind faith that I will be there, soon. I think setting minigoals is a great idea because sometimes our ideal goals are too daunting of a task that they can be discouraging. I look in the mirror and i think about hos far away i am from perfect, instead i should think how far away i am from something closer, like 5 fewer pounds. all I can say to you guys is DONT GIVE UP. were all doing this everyday together. anything extrodinary  takes time. Think of great artists or dancers or musicians, thier gift took time. We all have to exercise everyday in our own little towns and we all have to resist temptations everyday. Just know that we are alone together. Even if your by yourself when resisting that choclate or 3rd piece of pizza or whatever, you are doing it together with all of us at the same time.

I;ve decided to change my cals to 1400 per day and workouts 3-4 times a week

I’m not changing it because i cant handle  1300, im changing it because 1400 is less risky for changing my metabolism

hope everyones christmas was wonderful

caio !

Okay so you guys think you have big christmas dinners !! Every year we go to my aunts house and im not kidding its a buffet. I am not exagerationg at least 30 dishes and 3  or 4 desserts. Im pretty sure i stayed in my calorie range today.. I had 700 before christmas dinner.. and i estimated christmas dinner…. …200 or so for the turkey(no gravy) salad (dressing maybe 80 cuz it was made with oil ) rice 220 for about a cup and two perogies (100) …… these estimations could be off but im guessing I stayed between 13 and 1500. I’m pretty proud of myself considering it was christmas. Overall I’d say day 23 was a success. Only like 110 more days to go until i try on my old jeans lol

happy christmas eve everyone ! i am having some major crave attacks tonight,but im resisting lol … or at least im gonna try too… maybe then santa will put me on his good list for 2009

OKay whenbever i work out for a long time or especially  RUN  for a long time .. or do cardio on the floor like skipping for awhile the bottoms of my feet burn like crazy. Ive had two pairs of nike runners one of them was for running but my feet still burn . Does anyone know why or has anyone experienced this. Also does anyone have any suggestions for some good shoes?

I’m doin g well today buddies.. 200 cals left.
