Week Three Check in
This week was not so good, Memorial day picnics and excursions to Pittsburgh was not conducive to working out. So I’m pretty sure that I didn’t work out all week. I must have been able to restrain myself to some degree because I only gained .2 lbs. that sucks, but it could have been much worse. So now I have 4 days till I leave and I’m still fat. But less so maybe…

Week Two Check in!
Two Week check in!
So today is day 14, it kinda snuck up on me! I’m half pumped and half bummed because on the one hand I lost 5lbs since the beginning of this, but on the other hand I don’t really feel like I can see any difference.

Day Fourteen
Shred Day 8
I was a little bit bad today I went out with the BF and went to the movies. But it was fun and as far as that I did behave.
I’m half bummed that I skipped JM yesterday but I just couldn’t force myself to do it. I had been up for over 24 hours and I was completely exhausted. But I’m kinda glad that I skipped because now my legs got a rest and they aren’t...

Light Grape Juice
Worst invention EVER. I am willing to go through a LOT of pain and suffering to lose weight and be healthy and stuff, but that is where I draw the line. It’s awful. Never again.

Day Twelve
Shred day 7
I made it through 7 days of JM!
On account of the rapture being tonight, congrats on everyone who made it!
Today I was meandering though old magazines again and I have quite a collection of ripped out pages! Other than that it was pretty boring, I didn’t use my treadmill yet because I haven’t quite finished cleaning out the area around it yet so, but soon hopefully!

An Ounce of Prevention: Water →

Water
You should drink half of your body weight in ounces. In other words if you weigh 200 lbs you should drink 100 ounces of water each day.
For every ounce of ice cold water you consume you burn about 1.09 calories. So 100 ounces of ice cold water burns about 109 calories.
Benefits
Suppresses the appetite naturally
Helps the body metabolize stored fat

Day Eleven
Shred day 6
I did a lot of running around in the car today but on the bright side I got my treadmill uncovered from the basement. I had it useable but then my dad covered it up while I was at school with various basement things. But it is uncovered and I am thinking that I might use it tomorrow. Go me!
Today I felt like the JM took longer than the last few days but it still went faster than the...

Diet Soda/Pop
Another tidbit from Seventeen Magazine!
Be careful if you drink a lot of diet soda!
“Artificial sweeteners like Splenda or aspartame may keep the drink calorie-free but they can actually trick your body into craving more sweet things or feeling hungry when you are really not! Switch to water, or stick to one 12-oz. can of diet soda a day to minimize the damage.”

The Truth About Weight Loss
Found this in old Seventeen magazines I was going through.
Being skinny means being fit
If your parents are fat, you will be too
All skinny girls have eating disorders
Dieting is the only way to lose weight
If you gain five pounds, you need to lose them ASAP
*It’s normal to gain three to four pounds temporarily before your period
*If you’ve been working out...

Day Nine
Shred day 4
Today was a bad day, not in relation to diets, as far as dieting goes it was pretty good. I am just always a little quick to anxiety so today was just one of those days. But I was really good today when it came to eating/working out. The only thing I could do better was the sleep. (ok and some of the food) Sleep I think, is where I’m going wrong. I don’t get enough sleep...

Day Eight
Day Three of JM
I was pretty good today! Aside from the fact that I didn’t really do a lot during the day. I did a lot of reading today and I finished a book (Pretty Little Liars) Hanna (as wrong as it sounds) is so motivating! I mean reinventing herself in a year! (ish) going from hefty Hanna to *Hanna* I mean I’m not about to start throwing up, but come on, if she can do it why not...

Day Seven
Day two of Jillian Micheals 30 day Shred
Today JM went a lot faster than it seemed yesterday. I really like it. It isn’t a long miserable thing (or as misery free as Jillian can be) and it seems like it’s working me out a lot. I’m all sweaty again- I know gross- and tired and shaky. Even though I know she’s just a DVD it’s still scary motivation hearing Jillian...

Day Six AKA Day one of 30dayShred
I just did day one of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and I am beat. I don’t think I’ve ever been more worked out. I’m real proud too because the last time I tried a Jillian work out I didn’t make it three minuets into it before giving up. I am covered in sweat which is an achievement for me because I never sweat! I am feeling really optimistic. I also feel a bit nervous...

Did You Know Thirst is often mistaken for Hunger
yea so I found this out. When you are thirsty/dehydrated your body can mistake it for being hungry. So then when you eat because you think you are hungry you actually haven’t fixed the problem! So you are still thirsty and you still think you are hungry and you eat more. But you really were never hungry to begin with. I defiantly don’t drink enough water my hydration level is only at...

Protein Powder
So I’m always getting really hungry later at night and my boyfriend uses this protein powder after he works out for building muscles and it fills him up. So I’m thinking about maybe getting some type of protein powder drink thing instead of snacking so much. Plus I mean it’s protein so …. So I guess I’m going to start looking into the benefits vs. risks of it and what...

Day Three
Today was alright but I was still really sore. My upper thighs were so stiff I thought I was going to collapse! I tried doubly hard to be good today because I ordered Chinese food for dinner. So I was really really really upset today because I thought I had stayed the same as when I left college, but then I realized that I gained like 3bls. Really bummed. So now I have to work even harder for the...

Healthy Body Calculator →
I just found this really cool site. It’s much more accurate than the basic BMI calculator. Unfortunately I’m real fat and they were giving me all kinds of fun info, so I’m going to choose to be really pumped at how fun this is instead of sad at how fat I am lol. But anyways I always liked visual stuff way better than just ‘oh eat healthy’ and this site thing has...

Day Two
So this one time my college had this thing called Body For Break, it was a 7 week program where everyone was getting ready for spring break and stuff. The point was to do at least 5 workouts a week and then you will lose a few pounds and tone up a bit. So my room mates and I decided to try it, well one of my room mates and I anyways. We followed it religiously and did above and beyond the...

Day One
Ok, So fitness! Woo!
I was working really hard for a while and lost like 10lbs but kinda had to quit (ok I didn’t HAVE to quit) because of school and stuff. Then the summer started and I was putting it off =[ But today I was talking about my trip to California and realized I’m still way fat! So this is to keep me accountable for working out and losing at least 8lbs (about 2 a week)...
