While I reached my calorie goal today, I ate things I shouldn't have, and snacked when I wasn't hungry. I am going to focus on being tough and saying no to temptation! Can only go up from here!

Battle Log 10/24 - 10/26/13

I'm not even going to post whether or not I met my goals for the past couple days; I was way off and screwed my progress for those days royally. Here's to focus tomorrow and some self discipline to ward off temptation.

[Emjaysmash]

Well, the last few days have been full of utter fail.

 

I've sucked in my academics and I'm sucking in my goals and battle plans. I say I'm commited, then I go off and do exactly the oppostie of what I should be doing. Just like I need to focus on my priorities in school, I need to focus here.

 

Hoping tomorrow is a better day.

It'll get easier. Have you tried focusing on just one goal at a time? Like just your calories or just your water intake?

[Emjaysmash]

Well, I inadvertently lost 2 pounds in the process of not focusing so much on my diet. 

 

Been bringing almonds to snack on and a re-fillable bottle of water so that I dont have to focus so much on how muhc on drinking, just on refilling once its empty. I have a better outlook going forward now.

[Emjaysmash]

So Its almost 2 weeks since posting last. What has happened? Not much.

 

I am working out more but I can't say if I've really lost weight. I've been stressed at school and at home, which makes me want to turns to my old pal: junk/fast food. 

 

I've been looking for a hobby to relieve some pent up stress. After continually tell myself exercise is not a hobby, I've caved. I loved being able to just get on an elliptical, turn on my iPod and go- just myself. Now that I have a gym membership I think that is where I'll go when I need to let off some steam. Heck, maybe I'll even lose a few more pounds.

 

As far as goals go, I'm doing well on the water goal so far. I've stopped calorie counting which probably is a mistake. It seems like a lot of work.

 

I've been snacking much more during the day, but now that money is super tight, I think I can curb it by just being satisfied with what I have/bring from home. Maybe if I get antsy I need to find a better outlet than eating. Push ups in class? 

 

I know I keep flaking on this. it's seriously time to get my head in the game. I've been at this for a year and I'm ready to be "done" as it were.

[Emjaysmash]

No idea where my last posts have gone? Odd.

 

[Emjaysmash]

To summarize my new goals:

 

Weight Goal = 175, Last weight-in: 190

 

Water Goal= 8 cups/day , been doing well on this.

 

NEW Calorie Goal= 1250-1500 calories a day, including cheat days(?)

 

NEW Exercise goal = M/W/F NF Beginner bodyweight workout; optional cardio Tues/Thurs/Sun

 

Really want to be 175 by December 18th 2013.  As of now that 15lbs in less than 1 month, about 4.5 pounds a week. Probably not realilistic, but I'm trying.

[Emjaysmash]

Saturday is my next weigh in. Lets hope its better than before.

 

So far i've been trying to keep unter 1250 calories, but not that hard. Have a put luck today so I'll try to reign it in. I seriously need to say no.
