lose 100 pounds

Things have been going great this past week. I have been keeping up with my diet. I am eating anywhere between 1500-1700 a day. I walk at the local highschool track. Today I did 6 laps and actually ran one of them. I ran 1/2 of a lap the other day. I am definately working hard on this. I am determined to lose the weight this time. I am tired of all this extra weight. I am ready to be healthy and hot in my 20s. I can’t wait to walk tomorrow.

www.fifteenandcounting.webs.com This is the new site I started a couple months ago. It is just a place to help inspire others and track my progress. I can’t wait until we have lots of members so we can share our tips.

Have a great week everyone!

I have been eating well and walking lately. I have found a place to walk when I am visiting family in the country. They have a great track at the highschool. I started walking last night an went again this morning with my brother. I will go again this evening. I have been eating healthy, avoiding starches for the most part. Usually, bread, crackers, chips, etc. are my go to snacks, so it has been hard. I am also trying to limit cheese. That is another one of my dieting downfalls. Overall, I have been feeling pretty great. I can’t wait to check my progress on Sunday! Have a great weekend everyone!

Ok, so I have been on 43things with this goal for a while and I’ve gotta say.. I have not succeeded. I am not giving up, though. Actually, I am trying new approaches. I am going to get healthy. I am going to lose 150lbs or more. I need to acheive this goal.
I printed out an application for The Biggest Loser today, but decided that I had a plan that was more my style. I will lose weight publicly on my own. I signed up for my own site www.fifteenandcounting.webs.com . I will be posting on it sort of like I do here, but more often. I have a forum section where people can discuss, you can be a member on the site and see pictures(which I have yet to upload.. maybe this week. If enough people check it out, I will get my own domain.
I really think this is a great way to put that little extra pressure that I need to motivate myself. It will also let me help others which is something that I really enjoy doing.
Everything that I put out there will be completely honest. If I go out and eat 5 plates at a buffet, you will know. If I run a marathon, you will know. Please let others know if they are on the same page. I will try my best to make this a great resource for others. Hopefully we can make this something incredible while bettering ourselves as well.

So…, it’s been a while since I posted on here. I went through a pretty rough patch in the past few months, and pretty much just ate what I wanted, when I wanted. Not to say I went crazy, but I never said no to pizza or brownies.. we’ll just leave it at that. I was worried about some health issues so I stopped working out over the past few months and want to begin again. I do have major heel issues and it hurts to stand/walk for too long. It is from an injury earlier in the year. Needless to say, I am lucky that holiday food remorse hit early. I DID eat a plate and a half of food today for Thanksgiving, but before the holiday I made a plan. I am going to try to stick on it for about 4-6 weeks. It may get boring, but I feel that I gave myself the opportunity to be a little more free with my diet and it didnt work. Time to ‘bring in the big guns’. I came up with about 14 meals and a standard breakfast as well as about 10 acceptable snacks/desserts/ I think that is perfectly reasonable to deal with until the end of the year. I know the holidays I will not have an alternate choice. We don’t do that at my house really. It will also be my birthday this month, so with all of that, the booze will be flowing a little more freely. Yes, one of my occasional caloric downfalls. I will compensate, though. I am going to go about the workout thing a bit different since I am still having heel pain. Usually I jump head first into moderate to advanced workout programs and burnout quick. I am taking it slow and begining with short walks, stretching, and band work. I will once again see this as a new opportunity to better myself. Things around me are changing rapidly. I want to make sure I can keep up.

Picking fruit at the orchard has been helpful.less stress has been a great help as well. Have a great week!

I am down a couple more pounds this week. It has been a rough few weeks. I can’t wait for May to being. My best friends pop pop died and his funeral was last Saturday. A few hours after we got home, I got a call from one of my friends saying one of my best friends died that morning. His funeral was this Saturday. He was a good guy.. a great guy. I knew him since he was born and we were neighbors for 17 years.
Needless to say, it has been a big ball of stress this week. I was also job hunting and interviewing almost everyday, successfully. I am gong to try to workout a bit more this week. My eating has remained good ith the exception of a couple meals (ayce pizza place yesterday, most I only ate that and toast all day). Here are that stats:

Have a great week everyone!

I have moved back with my best friend in a suburban area after being in the country with my family for over 4 months running the family business. My mom was injured for a while. Our house was on such a busy road and you cant just walk through peoples land, so I didn’t work out too much. I only really talked to one or two people down there.. occasionally. Now that I am back, I know I can do much better than sitting at the tv every night eating. I am already down about 8lb.

And here we go again..

I haven’t done many good workouts lately, but tonight was pretty good.

20 min elliptical
20 min weights
25 min bike
15 min elliptical

I would have done more weights but I pulled my hamstring. :( Boo! All of this was followed up by a grilled chicken salad, no cheese, with light italian dressing! Go me!
