Quick Update

Alrighty, update time! Well I've been doing good lately. Slow but steady. I really want to check my measurements now, if I can find my measuring tape, or buy a new one today. Because....it's been 3 months and 25 pounds since I started! So I hope some inches have come off by now. =)
Today is also (finally!) grocery day, so my guy and I are going to pick up some lean meats, veggies, some sandwich fixings, and some fast lunch options. Should be good to have nice food in the house and make some new things for dinner. Well I'm off to find something to eat, and search for that elusive measuring tape, lol. Until next time...!

Calorie/Exercise Recap: Day 73

Calories for Day 73 (February 1st 2009):

Total calories: 2112


Exercise for Day 73:
None.

Notes: Was very hungry last night so I overate a bit, but still ended up with a decent number. I'm thinking of making my limit 2200 or so, because I should be losing faster than I am, so I'm either too high or too low on calories right now. So, we will see how it goes. But, I am trying to stay near 2000 still, only to 2200 if I'm really hungry, which is only fair, I don't think depriving myself is a good thing to do, but I'd be very happy if I can still stick to my original goal of 2000 as long as I'm losing weight each week.

A few side notes...nearly all of my exercise is what *I* call exercise for myself...usually it is walking in a mall, to and from somewhere, etc. It is rarely what someone would call "exercise", but it is the kind I get in my day, and that is what it is to me. Also, I probably won't be listing the foods I eat anymore, or my score out of 5 for the day, because they both aren't really needed. But, of course, I will keep listing my daily calorie intake and exercise! Until next time...!

My 299 in 299 Challenge!!!

My "299 in 299" Challenge!!

GOAL: To reach 299lbs in 299 days!

STARTING DATE: January 12th 2009
END DATE: November 7th 2009

STARTING WEIGHT: 365.6
POUNDS TO LOSE IN 299 DAYS: 66.6 (approx. 1.6lbs/week)

Here's how it will work:
I will check in with a special update post after my normal weekly weigh-in, but for this I will check in 4 times, here is when:
March 23rd 2009 (10 weeks in)
June 1st 2009 (20 weeks in)
August 10th 2009 (30 weeks in)
November 7th 2009 (42 weeks + 5 days in...aka 299 days in!)
I will also be taking my measurements today and probably posting them up, so those will be redone on Day 299 to check my progress as well!
Now, I know 1.6lbs a week doesn't seem that difficult...but averaging 1.6lbs a week every week for nearly a year...that's another thing, LOL. So, please wish me luck!! I hope I can do this! I will see you for an update in 10 weeks! :-D

Pounds Lost This Week: +1...
Total Pounds Lost: 14.4 (in 45 days)

Next Weigh-In (#8): Monday, January 12th 2009

Last Word: What?!?!?!?!?! I GAINED?!?!? Ugh, this is really getting to me now, I don't know what to do. I was under 2000 everyday except for an extra 650-900 calories for New Years Eve...which isn't anywhere near enough to undo the other 6 days of work AND make me gain a pound. Why am I not losing?? I'm staying under 2000! This is really getting me down now, ugh, this sucks. Sigh...

Notes: Well, I allowed myself to have a few drinks and some snacks for New Years Eve because I (for the first time in my whole life!!!) went to a party!!!! OMG...it was the best time of my life! That might sound lame, but it was awesome! John and I had sooooo much fun! ^^ So, I think after 40 days on plan - including Christmas! - that me enjoying my night without any stresses of counting calories, worrying about how many grams I ate, etc, was due. This will NOT happen on just any occasion though, it was a special night for me in more ways than one. I don't regret it at all, life wise or food wise. So, Happy New Year everyone!! Be happy! Tonight I sure as hell am! :-D
