Confession & New Page

Ok, so I got really discouraged the other day (as you could see) and I ate like a pig this weekend b/c I was frustrated.

I didn't work out this morning (I had to take Gen to the doc). I will be working out again this week & I think I am going to start weight watchers (which seems to be a popular solution).

Just wanted to update ya'll. I will post again soon.... and actually start blogging my food again. I think there is a WW meeting on Wednesday that I am going to try and make.

~Tiffany

9-17-08

So I was sick a lot last week and neglected to keep track of my eating... and let me just say that it wasn't a good week for my diet. I will say that I did stick to drinking water, which is good... but right now I am so frustrated I feel like throwing in the towel on this whole weight loss thing. I feel like maybe I am just destined to be fat. I have been working out at least 3x's a week since July & (although I haven't done a great job at dieting) I have made some changes to my diet. I feel like all of this should amount to something. I know that I have lost some inches in my extremities, but my pants fit exactly the same and i haven't lost one pound. I am really beginning to think it is my birth control keeping me down, but at this point I am just so frustrated I feel like throwing in the towel.

I was going to start the week 2 challenge of beach bodz today, but I realized I am going out of town tomorrow and I will be eating what ever my host makes me... so I will start week 2 on Monday... until then, I will focus on eating my daily requirement of fruits and veggies while I continue to drink my water.

Then I will do that veggie & fruit only diet for 3 days (as suggested by Phillip)... if that doesn't help change my dimensions on my body... nothing will. I am going to get an appt w/ my doc and try to change my BC.... I am just so fed up with being fat and having people look down on me for being fat (trust me it happens)... this just sucks... sorry for the negative attitude.

9-12-08

I am still sick and I was even feeling worse this morning. But I had to get to work today. I did not work out this morning b/c I didn't feel well... I am pretty sure it is just a bad cold, but I hate that I am not getting my exercise. I put on a pair of pants today I haven't worn in a while, and they fit a little better... yeah. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow... I canceled my plans this evening (I don't want to get anyone sick) an hopefully it will help me get better faster.

9-10-08 (Starting Beach Bodz Nutrition Plan)

I am starting Beach Bodz Nutrition Plan today, but I am allowing myself one exception, which is just to start w/ I can have 1 caffeinated drink a day b/c I get serious withdrawal symptoms... once I have done that for a while I will eliminate it completely.

Week 1 of Beach Bodz Nutrition Plan
According to the nutrition plan i need to drink 1/2 oz of H2O per lb of weight, well for me that would be 140 oz or 17 glasses of water. I don't think that is a reasonable goal.... so I am going to shoot for 10 or more... sorry philip if you are reading this, but i am a pretty large person.

For Real

Ok, so I was just getting really discouraged b/c I haven't lost any weight.... apparently over the last 2 months of working out, I have lost 3" off my thighs; 1 1/2" off my arms, 1" off my hips... etc.
So, I am happy w/ that... but I havent' lost any on my belly, in fact, I feel like my tummy is larger.... so I was just really upset and kinda gave up this weekend..... but after a pep talk from my family, I am back on track..... Please forgive my emotional roller coaster... I just really want to lose weight and get frustrated when I don't lose it where I need to the most.

1 Bottle of Pepsi
2 Whole grain waffles & 1/4 cup syrup

Day 5 (doing a little better)

So I got really really upset when I stepped on the scale.  I have gained 5 lbs... this sucks b/c I have been working out 3x's a week for almost 2 months now.  The problem definitely lies in the food I eat.... additionally I need to incorporate more cardio.  We are going grocery shopping tomorrow for more fruits and veggies and to see if I can't incorporate them into my meals better.  I really am trying to do better today.  I will be going out for dinner for my anniversary tonight so it will be challenging.... I will definitely try to be better this morning.

According to www.thedailyplate.com I ate 162 calories more than I should've today.

My Goals

Lose 2 pants sizes by Oct 11th
I have to lose weight by Oct 11th b/c I have to go on a trip for my MBA to Vienna, Budapest, and Prague (I know it is expensive, but it is a requirement for the international business concentration, and my student loans are paying the bill for now)....I am really looking forward to the trip, but I am paranoid that they are going to charge me for 2 seats b/c I am so pleasantly plump.


Size 14 or smaller by August 28, 2009
My long term weight loss goal is to be down to at least a size 14 by August 28, 2009 for my 5th year anniversary. I am currently a size 24.

Day 1

First of all, let me start off by saying, in general I am not a fan of blogging, but I think that this will help me be accountable for what I am doing (or not doing) with my body and what I am putting in it.

After having kids and a desk job, I have totally let myself go. I currently weigh a whopping 279 lbs.... this is the largest I have EVER been except for towards the end of my pregnancy.

So far, I have been working out at Beach Bodz here in Myrtle Beach. I must say that it is helping me so much. I feel stronger & I have noticed that I am leaner in certain areas. I have only been doing Beach Bodz for a little over a month. I plan on continuing to attend their bootcamps. Here on my blog I will journal each day about the exercise I do and what I eat. Please feel free to comment and help me on my journey. Truthfully, I really don't know how to eat well so advice is more than welcome.

My diet today has been really bad. But I feel I should go ahead and post it to be truthful.

Breakfast
2 Whole Grain Waffels
1/4 cup syrup
1 Pepsi Can

Snack
1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds

Lunch
I went to Prosser's BBQ Buffet
Collard Greens
Green Beans
Lima Beans
Mac & Cheese
Chicken & Dumplings
Vinegar based BBQ
Sweet Tea
**** I got a little of everything listed above... I don't know how much though. I had enough food to eat 1 & 1/2 plates of food..... too much... I know... I LOVE Prossers... maybe you guys could give me ideas of how to eat some of this food in moderation (how often can I eat this??? if ever??)*********

Dinner
1/2 can of campbells bean w/ bacon soup
2 grilled cheese sandwiches (one w/ turkey)
Lots of Sprite

Workout: NONE (I didn't feel well)
