lose weight and be healthy

am now 81 kilos. the gym is pretty good.

there was pain when i first started running, but the pain now is so bad. i went to see a chiropractor today for my leg, and he said that I would have to stop running for a while. sigh.

i have also learnt that my weight is now 86 kilos. so i’ve lost 10 kilos in the last month. lets see what happens soon. but for now i am resting. hoping not too gain too much weight while i am resting

I was 115kg for the past 2-3 years. and now i’m down to 98kg.

The past 2 weeks had me running/walking for 20 minutes each day and doing up to 30 push-ups a day.

still taking the baby steps. and i still don’t have that much confidence in my ability. but i will keep on. and hopefully i will get down to 80 kg someday.

if only the pain in my legs would stop coming on after just 20 minutes of running. any ideas on what else i can do? i’m too shy to go to the gym and swim in the public pool.

Over the past few months of intense part time work and irregular meals, I have lost quite abit of weight. So now I’m hoping to start off on this track to lose weight.
I’m figuring out alot of things in relation to excercise i.e how to run, what shoes to wear, how far to run because I have never really excercised in my life before. and things are changing. I hope. Will see how it goes. here’s to a better life with better health.

Introduction
ok, so initially my Goal was to “lose 7lbs by the end of the year [2008]”...clearly, that didnt happen. but then i figured, if i choose to change my life style by “dieting” then its already the WRONG way to try and stay healthy and MAINTAIN this. so, instead i have removed the initial Goal, and changed it to “Lose Weight and Be Healthy”.

right, so i didnt lost any weight last year…in fact, i might’ve even put on a pound or five! grrr…which wasnt the plan! so, i sat down and really thought hard about wanting to check this goal off my list, and doing it the RIGHT way! im mentally and emotionally prepared for this trip, and will try posting something on here (as i dont have an official “blog”) everyday.

what i need to explain to everyone, is that i am not overweight. my BMI (Body Mass Index), even indicates that i am a “healthy” weight according to my height. (I am 5’7 and weigh 150 lbs/10st 8lbs). This goal is for me to be more healthy, and if i lose weight during this healthy living, so be it. i have some area’s i’d like to “tone up”, so hopefully i can manage to do this through my healthy living lifestyle.

Weigh In
im going to weigh myself every monday morning from tomorrow (05/01/09), and hopefully watch my weight go down and feel myself toning up. i have my healthy eating in order (all the crappy food has beenremoved from my home, and i have bought all healthy food).

BreakFast
my main “wrong doing” is that i skip breakfast, and then by lunch feel i need to eat an extra big lunch, seeing as i didnt have a breakfast! that is stopping as of tomorrow! i have semi-skimmed milk and cereal and fruits and low-fat yoghurts, so my kitchen is filled a’ plenty with healthyness!

Fitness
not so sure how the “fitness” part is going to fit into my whole “healthyliving” schedule, as i “dont feel i have the time”. clearly this is a lie, and im just using this as an excuse because when i get home, im sitting infront of the tv doing NOTHING, indulging my mind with crap, and just being lazy…so, im going to start with the eating for now…then i shall start experimenting with different methods of exercise.

Picture Blog
also, i need to keep a picture blog too, so will post a picture of me sometime soon. i dont actually have a camera as of yet – the old one broke just before christmas, and i am in the process of buying another one, so the first picture i post may be about 10days after i post this.

Ok, so im ending this “introduction” to my Healthy Living Goal for now. i will be back to post a note on this tomorrow evening.
Good luck to anyone who also has a similar goal!

I want to lose weight and be healthy again. I’ve blamed everyone but myself. I want to take charge and understand how important it is to be healthy and fit. Ive taken my life for granted and I want to take back control. I am asking for support because I cant do it on my own. Motivation and hard work is what I need to think about. I have a vacation planned and my deadline is May 19. I need to make a drastic change in lifestyle. This is important to me. I can do this!!!

i feel just so stuck. i keep going up and down and up and down. the cycle never ends. in the start of this year- aug/sept- i lost a good amount of weight. about 15 pounds. i was really happy with myslef. i was working out a lot and eating very little- not by choice i jsut have a sllowwww metabolism and really bad hypothyrodism so i have to be exact with my diet. however, i am suchhhh an extremist. im also a social eater. when im around people- i jsut constantly eat if they are. and by being an extremist- i go through serious ups and downs. if i eat a muffin in the morning-which is veryyyy rare and recent, ive already decided for myself that ive ruined my day n iw ill then proceed to eat a millllllion other terrible things for me bc i will designate it as a binge day. recently though, ive been having only binge days. sometimes i will allow myself certain days to binge and then the next week ill go back on my diet- switching to a different extreme. its so hard. food is a love and hate relationship for me. I either eat everything in site or nothing and it kills me because i want to be thin so badly. ive always been the chubbier one in my family. my brothers never really cared but my sisters both care about their weight as well as my mother which makes me care. plus, two of my good friends have eating disorders and are super thin. i jsut cant force myself to have a disorder as much as i would almost like to. i just cant do that to myself. every night though after i binge for the day, i jsut want to break down and cry bc im so upset with myself. i always proclaim that tomorrow wil be better but some how the cycle keeps going. in a couple weeks im going away somewhere warm and i just deicded that i need to be in shape. however, now that i actually realy need to, i jsut cant stick to it. i dont even know what to do. its become so hard…

I was cute and tiny when I was a teenager. Now I have a teenage daughter who is cute and tiny and it makes me realize how much weight I’ve gained and how I’m not that cure anymore!

...yes… me… FAT! I am young, 20 to be exact and 262lbs… to be even mor exact! My 21st birthday is rapidly approaching and I am no ready. I want to go out with friends and dance without being concerned about whether or not people are laughing at me. I want to be a normal 20-something… without the fat folloring me everythere I go. My NYR (new year resolutuon) ....

Loose Weight in 08 to Look Fine in 09 to Be Thin in 2010!!!
lets get this party started!!!! =)

Today I bought lots of fruit to eat and have decided that I will eat it every day….........
