Hello All,
How is everybody? I hope that everybody is having a great day.
I am trying out Jillian Micheals diet plan and workout exercises online. SO far I seem to like it, but I think that it is too much for me. However I can say that my pants right now, I think, are a little to big and they are a size six. SO I am happy about that and taht is from me just dieting and exercising. Also I would like to lose twenty pounds off form my 135 orginal weight. So far I have gained three from the four pounds that I have lost, but I have not weighted myself in yet since then. However I plan on doing so tomorrow.

Here we go again

Today I have made the decision to join ww. Again. I have been obese for too long and I avoid life because of it. It is time to stop the madness and reclaim my body and self esteem. I will attend a meeting in the am and weigh in. Oh , the horror. I will no longer be able to hide from the terrible truth. I am joining this blog to report my progress and possibly whine when I am feeling whiney. Also I will be here with an attentive ear and perhaps some hope for those like me.

Oh today was "cheat day" for the ABS Diet

wackdoodle — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:14:51 -0800

and it did not go well. Every week I have to schedule one "cheat meal" in my cheat day. I am thinking of dumping this day altogether.

I could not think of something that I would want to have in place of one of the foods I can have on the ABS Diet plan.

How screwed up is that? I could have had some fast food thing, or a donut or cinnamon roll from Specialty's or anything. Instead I had some extra Bing Cherries (totally out of season but they looked good at Costco - impulse buy) and here's the baddie two Nilla Wafer Cakesters at 110 calories a pop (wanted something super sweet and very vanilla). Oh yeah and I repeated my lunch from dinner (a whole wheat pita with marinara sauce sliced onion, a slice of deli turkey chopped up and 2 TBSP of low-fat Italian cheese- it's actually really good tackled a mild desire to run and but a slice of pizza or something as a cheat).

I told my calorie consumption on my scheduled "Cheat day" for the ABS Diet was 1200 calories. WTF? Last week my cheat was something tiny too (a small non-fat frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries).

What on earth is wrong with me? I'm I just too mental cluttered to go wild and splurge or do I just have no desire to anymore.

I guess my cheat today was that I was lazy as hell. I watched Anime on the computer in between priming my bathroom walls for painting and talking to potential new employers on the phone.

I need to get off my duff and try the new exercise dvd I bought (The Tracy Anderson Method Dance) it looks super fun but somewhat complex. I need to go out and walk my arse off throughout the city again but I find an excuse to shorten my walks even though I enjoy them.

Ridding myself of dissatisfaction this is weeks goal. I will not be so dissatisfied with every thing that I do nothing. Mr. Kettlebell I will defeat you and Mr. Speed Rope this week!

[In case you're wondering the ABS DIET FOR WOMEN is from the writer's of Women's Health Magazine along with Alexa Fishback of The Daily Fixe (I believe). I bought the books and discovered I already had the foods, I just needed to plan out my meals and snacks and schedule a time to eat them then do it. Very simple, I actually talk to my doctor's about eating on this dietary path for a long time and they read it and were very happy with the scheme of it. ABS DIET is an acronym - ABS DIET POWER - 12 foods you should have during the day to maintain a healthy body they are:

A- Almond (and other nuts)
B- Beans (your choice of)
S- Spinach (or other green veggies)

D- Diary (Low-fat)
I- Instant Oatmeal or steel cut if you have the time
E- Eggs
T- Turkey (and other lean meats)

P- Peanut Butter
O- Olive Oil
W- Whole-grain breads and cereals
E- Extra (Whey) Protein Powder
R- Raspberries (or other berries)

Those are foods your suppose eat each day - together or separately. You don't have to get every one of the 12 food items in your 3 scheduled meals and 2 scheduled snacks but it's actually very easy to. Any way the dietary plan is easy and I have lost about 7 pounds in two weeks - but remember I had Gastric Bypass Surgery so my body is a little on the extreme end of things. It either goes big with weight loss on the scale or the numbers stay the same but my sizes majorly decrease.]

Anyway, had to get that off my chest.

This week I will not allow myself to be dissatisfied with anything - my workout effort, my life in general or effort to write and complete at least 2 short stories. No dissatisfaction allowed.

1 WEEK IN AND 2.5 LBS DOWN!!!

neonbible — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 18:10:44 -0800

1 Week into My 16-week Journey and…

I LOST 2.5LBS THIS WEEK!!!

BASICALLY I:

-Stuck to eating 5-6 meals a day of protein/complex & fibrous carbs and a decent amount of water about 80% of the week

- Grazed “HEALTHFULLY” the rest of the week

-Tried to sleep 6-7 hours a night (even though I had tons of school work)

-For the cheats I allow myself I had 1 sliver of chocolate cake and a twix bar…

-Worked out 2 days this week but…I over exerted myself and could barely walk after Day 2

MY SETBACKS:

-The 5-6 meals I ate were HUGE portions…I like eating until I feel full which I think may be a problem as I’ve read one should only eat until 80% full

- I need more water, so this week I’ll be trying to drink 1 glass before and 1 glass after meals or even herbal tea. My aim: 8-12 cups of water

-As stated above I only worked out 2 days instead of 5 which was disappointing L

-I need to figure out HEALTHY CHEATS:

I think cheating weekly with copious amounts of sugar and bad crap defeats the purpose of a healthy lifestyle…so maybe cheating or derailing (sounds better than cheating) with vegan cookies -which are far healthier- or trying out new *ethnic restaurants like Ethiopian food for example would be wiser (a naturopath I saw a few years back said ethnic food is far healthier-so why not use it in my “derailing” meals)

Any advise on healthy cheats/derailments???
Any tips/comments in general???

Thx

My Goal: 35LBS IN 4 MONTHS

neonbible — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:32:04 -0800

Well I am giving myself 4 months to lose 35lbs --sounds reasonable, Right? To date I have gone from 197lbs-163 so my ultimate goal is to be around 130lbs at 5'8". I'll post from time to time with new insights and mini-goals!

I’m aiming for around:

-3 meals consisting of: fibrous carb or complex carb and lean protein
-2 snacks of lean protein and either fibrous carb/complex carb/ or healthy fat (nuts)
-2-3 litres of water daily
-60 minutes of cardio 5 days a week (interval, spinning, running, elliptical etc…)
-30-60 minutes of David Kirsh’s DVDs or Yoga Burn by Gaiam’s Rodney Yee or circuit training 2-5 days a week
-1,400-1,500 calories
-Perhaps 1 cheat meal a week to get cravings out of the way
-And perhaps keep score of week or biweekly weigh in or measuring-in with a tape measure

Food options: veggies, lean protein, fruits, sprouted breads/grains, beans/lentils, nuts, healthy fats, kashi bars, soy latte’s on occasion and tons of water

What do you think? Any suggestions?
