SO, I am leaving home and going back to the city where i will be starting a new semester. This month I plan on getting a job and volunteering!!! I will tell you all how these goals as they are the most important goals for my near future. i do not have a computer or the internet at my condo. so i will not be able to be on buddyslim as much however i am dedicated to continue my blogs at least once a day at school as i have access to computers there. Blogging on here and your comments and support has played a huge role in my success so thank you and i dont plan on stoppping any time soon. Complete all your today goals buddies ! you have the power to  chose to do so!

p.s yesterday ( day 32) went well as far as calorie count goes and my eating discomfort seems to have subsided and my knees feel a lot better today

well yesterday, I dont know how many cals i ate. i had around 700 to 800 then i had a bread with lebaney( a cheese spread on it) and a white bread little patty thing with a tiny bit of meat inside…. so… i dont know if i was in my calorie range yesterday but this is what happaned

i was starving for 3 hours when i was out and about i couldnt wait to get home to eat

then i was eating ten mini breton crackers with a table spoon  of cream cheese

 and b4 i could finish i got this sharp pain on the left side of my neck under my jaw and these stingy lumps on the bottom of my mouth

 it hurt to swallow food so i couldnt eat for another 3 hours (which is when the pain subsides) and by that time it had been like 6 hours  since i ate so i didnt even count calories i just grabbed all those carbs

today my knee that i had surgury on REALLY hurts… soo my sister thinks i did too much running two days ago andf thats what but it didnt hurt yesterday.. anyways  I HAVE TO  take it easy because of my knee problems.. when i get to my condo i will do some swimming.. that might be a safe work out till it starts to feel better !!! but u know what im not gonna let it discourage me !! im just taking everything as it comes and i still have an optimistic attitude towards my journey .. i still think by april im gonna be a size or two down and sit into those old jeans of mine !!! heres hoping buddies.. p.s i am doing well for calories today so big smiles there

I dont have much to say but i just wanted to blog because the habit of blogging on buddyslim helps me immensly. Its day 30…. ONE MONTH … wow.. i am proud of  myself… today is my high cal day so i can have 15-16 … but thats only one day a week i am allowed a high cal day !!! i think im going to do a jillian exercise video today .. yay goo mee… im already at 835 cals  at 1 :30 ooooooooo i will have to have a low cal supper tonight at 5…. i must resist eating till 4 or 5 then !!! dun dun dun … i will just have gum…. i already had hummus and pita bread so i shouldnt be hungry since ive already fueled my body for the afternoon… so i wont eat… anyway i know this is a boring blog… but i just want to keep up the habbit !!!! keep blogging buddies !!! caio

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.
