Ok, remember when I said on Monday morning that I was sleepy? Well I still am!!! Agh and it is only Wednesday. Knowing that there is a long weekend approaching makes me want it to come more quickly!!
My summer days and nights are so busy so alot of the time my 8:00 bedtime gets pushed back much later. Oh, well I am still making great memories so it is worth it!
Last night Ryan and I went out with friends for a birthday dinner. We went to a Mexican restaurant called the Blue Cactus. It was right smack downtown Ottawa. It was so much fun because neither of us had ever been there and we never go downtown. It was a treat that is for sure.
So here is what I am working on lately......
My weight/fitness.
I cannot believe I am confessing this but I think if I share that it might give me even more motivation to do something about it.
You see I have always had somewhat of a slimmer figure. I have never really had a problem with my weight. All the sudden I started to notice a difference around my 21st birthday. It was like BAM, everything I ate made me gain weight, I started getting zits again like a teenager and I felt like I had no energy. I was so discouraged.
Skinny me at 18.
I have kind of tried to ignore it for the last year but now I have had enough!
This little jacket was on sale and in my size(so I thought)! I was so excited but when I buttoned it up it wouldn't fit over my gut. It's hard to see in this picture but the buttons are all pulling. I want to fit into it!
I have had enough with being miserable getting dressed because nothing in my closet fits me!
I have had enough with trying to suck in my gut!
I have had enough with feeling sluggish!
I have had enough with looking at pictures and not liking what I see!
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
So here is the plan Stan, who's Stan? Oh nevermind!
Here is a before picture, I can't believe I am posting this.....
Before
Before weight: 160 lbs
What I want to be: 140
What I want to be even more: Healthy!
No, I couldn't bare (get it? ha ha) a bikini shot. I am FAR to0 modest. Well not really but maybe when I am ready for an after picture.
The best part is that I have an AMAZING boyfriend who is going to help me along. And this is a big deal because he is very anti-healthy! But he as already switched to eating whole wheat bread instead of white just for me! (You have no idea how big of a deal that is!!)
I have decided that I don't want this to be a "fad" diet. I want to do this smart. Eat food that I like but just a lot less of it. Incorporate healthier choices and start to get more active! I need to get moving more often.
I know I am going to struggle. It will be so hard to not be able to eat whatever I want, whenever I want and how much I normally want. I think the hardest thing for me is that I do so well at eating during the week but when the weekend comes I stuff my face. Also, it will be hard to not eat during times of boredom.
So, now I ask you, what do you do for exercise? What are your tips for weight loss and living a healthy life? Please share with me your wisdom!
Have a great day!
Have a great day!

Well...I can't really give you any hints on dieting or healthy eating because i am blessed to have a great metabolism and can eat basically anything and not gain a pound. i know most people would die for that but I wish i could gain some weight. My pants are all stretching and are all too big for me...a couple of years ago, a co-worker told me about Omega 3-6-9 - it was a fish vitamin that you take. She had been told to take it to lose weight but it was only making her gain weight, so we did a reverse pyschology and i tried it. Well let me tell ya, I didn't gain weight but i was always hungry...those days were brutal, i had a wierd craving for alpha getti then and i would sit and eat 3 cans of alpha getti for a snack, then went to macdonalds and would get a big mac combo, 6 nuggets and 2 chicken fajitas...brutal...so you can look into that. There are tons of things out there, ask Josee about her plan. It's a healthy way of eating just through smoothies and protein powder. I think just sticking to healthy eating and at least an hour exercise, a walk at night, anything, is a good regime! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey Lindsay,
ReplyDeleteI am finding that just having a plan really helps. Not that I know if I have lost any weight yet or not... And I don't deprive myself, if I want something decadent, I just have a smaller portion.
And you are always welcome to come to boot camp on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. 6:10 AM sharp and free of charge!!! Lots of motivation too.
I had to miss this AM because I had to go to the emergency orthodontist clinic, I had a wire sticking into my cheek. And I will probably miss Friday as well due to chores, but next Monday and Wednesday I will be workin' in.
p.s. I hate you Stacy!
seriously Sharon and anyone else struggling with weight, i would gladly take some, seriously...its just as frustrated being skinny than it is being "bigger"...im not saying im super skinny...that i look sick, but i would love to gain some weight!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Wayne is the same. He would love to pack on a couple of pounds... but he just doesn't.
ReplyDeleteYou are still just as gorgeous!! Good luck though, i know you can do it
ReplyDeleteand yes I have ssen Fireproof, I am planning on doing the love dare soon!
I agree with Teenage Bride, you are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletebefore my friends wedding a few years ago I did the South Beach diet. It works great but if you veer off, you gain it back. I'm not really about fad diets either, my mom did it so I did it :). There is a cookbook called Now Eat This by Rocco Despirto and he takes every day foods you love and makes the less fattening/less calories. You could always look into that. I have the cookbook but haven't had a chance to make anything out of it but it looks simple enough.
They always say if you crave something try to satisfy the craving, that way it doesn't multiply and intensify and get worse, you know unless it's every day :).
I just started the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout, it'll kick your butt! I need to lose weight to so if you get good tips pass them my way :)
Thanks gals! It's really great to know you all have my back! :-) Stacy, you can have any of my weight that you want, free of charge..:-) Sharon, I might have to take you up on your offer for boot camp. It will have to wait a month though because I start work right now at 5:30 but in a little while I start work later.
ReplyDeleteLast night I did the 30 day shred and sweated my butt off! I didnt know I could sweat and be so tired after only 20 minutes! Tonight Im going to try to do something different. Maybe go for a walk with Tucker.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!
