WIW:157.4!

I know it’s been over a week since I posted anything and I’m sorry! I have been sick and in pain from a toothache for over a week. I have been working out when I felt okay, sometimes I was just too weak. On monday I had a root canal (ouch!), and I’ll have to go back two more times to complete it! NOT looking forward to that…

Anyways, the main reason behind my miraculous loss has to be because of my toothache. It was such a pain to eat and it kind of still is, so I haven’t been eating a lot. I try to stick to soft foods and I even have been drinking protein shakes for some meals. This may go on for a while because I’ll have to keep going back to the dentist.

Well, I’d like to look on the bright side of this situation and say that I’m really happy to be out of the 160’s finally! Once things go back to normal and I can eat regular again, I’m going to try my best not to gain the weight back!

Hooray! I’ve finally hit my 30lb mark! :D

Just tried a dunkin donuts pumpkin iced coffee.

I was kind of disappointed so I threw it out. I guess that’s a good thing because I shouldn’t have had it to begin with! Now to go home, eat lunch, and workout!

Weekend and my mini-goal update:

This weekend went pretty good. I got my workouts done and lifted weights as planned. I tried my best to watch what I ate. On saturday, I had so much fun at the tumblr meet-up in Philly! I would definitely do it again! :D

As for my mini-goal…

For this week, I have managed to complete my mini-goal of :

• Exercising for 30 minutes a day (at least)
• Strength training for 15 minutes a day

Yay!!! I am going to make my mini-goal for this week to continue doing this everyday. I really want to make this a habit! And now that I think of it, I’ll add this to my mini-goal for this week as well:

• Write down everything in my food journal

I have been out of control as far as eating lately. I’m not necessarily eating unhealthy but I may be eating too much food in general. I have been hungrier than usual this past week, probably because of consistent weight lifting and workouts. 

I skipped on writing down everything in my food journal today.

Holy crap, I think I could’ve filled the book. =/

My ride went to the gym without me.

What a way to start the day. So I’ll be doing the Jililan michaels shred-it and lifting weights in my living room.

I was really looking forward to the gym though =[

Bye Bye September!

And helloooooo October! 

I didn’t reach my goal but that’s alright. However I am being more consistent with working out and lifting weights! I just can’t believe that this month is over already! So I’ll just keep this little goal for the month of October as well. Maybe second time’s the charm right?

My goals for October:

1. Get out of the 160’s. 
2. Continue working out for at least 30 minutes a day
3. Continue to lift weights consistently 
4. Keep a food diary and jot down my workouts

 Before you know it, the holiday season will be here! That means a lot of food and temptation. I want to lose a little before the season of my favorite holiday treats approaches!

Yeah, I sort of realized that I won’t make my September goal of reaching 160 but that’s okay. I’ll get there soon! 

And over the weekend…

I bought this awesome notepad (It’s actually a mousepad, but whatever)! I plan on using it to record my eating and workouts. I love how it’s for 5 days a week since I mainly screw up on the weekends but hey, 5 days of healthy eating and exercise is better than nothing right? And of course I will still work out on the weekends as well. Eventually, I’ll get to a point in time where I can eat better on the weekends, probably when I move out of the house…ideally.

Also, I found out that my Wii console still lives! I guess that means I’ll be back to my daily Wii Fit morning ritual. I actually missed it. 

I started this weight loss/health journey around March and it was amazing to be able to look back at my progress so far on Wii Fit. It’s amazing how far I’ve come. Just a few months ago I was obese and now I’m only 10 pounds away from a normal, healthy weight! I’m really excited because it sort of gave me a new outlook on this journey. I want to be at a  healthy weight and it isn’t that far away! I don’t think I’ve ever been in the normal weight range before, so it’s kind of scary, more like an adventure into the unknown. I know I can do it! 

A mini-goal for this week.

I always plan ahead what I want to do as far as workouts… it’s actually doing it that’s the problem. I think a big part of it is that I intimidate myself with unrealistic goals. I’ll schedule myself  to do over an hour and a half of aerobics and strength training combined and end up flaking out for the day due to lack of time, energy, or whatnot. I’m always making up excuses. Well, not anymore. This week, I am setting a mini-goal of:

• Exercising for 30 minutes a day (at least)
• Strength training for 15 minutes a day

Sounds doable right? I was going to have this as my October goal but what better time to start than now?

I take the train from Fox Chase Station. Are you taking the train too? 

I am! It’s a billion times easier. I take it from Woodbourne.

Isn’t it! Much better than being stuck in traffic or trying to take the bus. Yikes!

Just finished working out with kettlebells and weights.

Along with a bowl of oatmeal. Yum!

Hopefully my arms will still be intact tomorrow morning…
