(Mods I just realized this needs to be in the Fitness Journals section, please move
sorry! )
Fuck. There I said it. In the past year I've gained twenty or so pounds, and I was still about 10 pounds over weight before.
Damn. So, here we go. It pisses me off that I'm at this point, because a year or so ago I lost about twenty pounds and I was in an awesome place. I met my boyfriend and got LAZY. Then I went on birth control, and boom, hello weight.
I will be going back to the routine that helped me loose the weight last year.
My plan will consist of:
- Making home made vegetarian food for myself every night - I'm a vegetarian, so this part isnt hard. I lovveee zee vegetablez. lol.
- Running every day. I love to run, its one of my favorite forms of exercise. I t relieves a lot of my stress. Which I've let build up lately.
- Walk every night after dinner. I used to love doing this and did it with my mom every night, but she recently has been in too much pain (she has spine issues) that she hasn't been able to do it, and its just not the same without her. So, I guess I should find someone who wants to take some walks with me in the evenings.
- Use the home gym we have at least 3 times a week on top of running.
- Drink 8 bottles of water a day. (I already do this.)
- Eat pasta only once a week.
- Stop going out for dinner. My parents don't like cooking and we get take out and dine out a lot, and since I live at home its so convenient just to fall into that routine. My parents are big meat eaters and don't like to eat my vegetarian food, and its hard to cook just for yourself
Especially when they are getting pizza and stuff. So I guess I need to make a conscience step not to gain any more weight and that means doing what I need to do, not what my parents need to do.
- Realize that if my boyfriend broke up with me today I would be miserable in the state that I am in and I am only living this way because someone still loves me.
Depressing isnt it? lol. I have a good humor about it but it still sucks.
Im considering getting a personal trainer. I don't weigh myself because I've found in the past that has only brought me down. I go by my clothing sizes.
Does anyone know any heathy meal ideas for breakfast? I have lunch and dinner down. If anyone wants to sub to this thread and we can support each other online I'm always up for it. I wanted to post this here to be held accountable to myself. Now I've put it in writing, its time to do it.
UPDATE: I just emailed a model who I have done makeup for, who works full time as a personal trainer. I told her "I looked in the mirror today, and I was fat. How the hell did I get fat? When did this happen? At some point I lost the fight with fat"
I asked her if she would take me on as a client.
Sigh. Thats a relief.
UPDATE: Many members have left posts with AWESOME information in the pages of this thread. Please do read through if you're interested, a lot of people have contributed some awesome info that I appreciate very much
UPDATE: OCTOBER 1ST 2009 - Hey everyone. Well, here we are, four months later, I've lost the 30 pounds I set out to loose. With lots of exercise and healthy eating, it came off quite quickly. My BMI is now in the "normal" category.
Thanks for all the support.
