156

Same number as yesterday:( But I'm pretty sure tomorrow is going to be a lower number.  It has been a good diet day for me.  I got up and went to the gym and only ate 1,129cals which is 129 more then my goal but my workout burned a little over 200. So that counts?? I'm going to count it.  I feel great and I am full of excitement of the possibilities I can make for myself! This is it! This is the weight loss plan that is going to finally work! It is It is.  I heard a quote that says "Your going to get in life what you expect" I expect to weigh 120 and look fabulous. I hope everyone else is doing great and staying healthy and happy!!!

Weighed in at 156 this morning.  Today I ate cereal, cake, and a tuna sandwich.

Fresh Starts?

I have moved out of my house and now it's time for me to take control of what I put into my body and how I work it out without my mom hovering over me and feeding me!  My goal is to workout once-twice per day and eat 1,000 calories per day. I met a guy recently who I know is obsessed with his body and working out and I like him and I want him to be physically attracted to me.  I also want to feel great and confident about myself.  Tomorrow is my new start. I will share my stats tomorrow.
I would love some support and tips!

Wahoo! This weight is a victory for me. I haven't ever seen this weight before. I have always made it down to 159 and then I gain and stay between 160 and 165 which is my comfort zone. I am so happy to see this number! I know it's still a lot of weight and that I still have a long journey ahead of me but. I am happy to see it :)

I don't even want to add this up!
Burn

So I ate way to much cereal for breakfast and way to many cookies tonight. I feel sort of sick and I'm afraid I might gain tomorrow morning. I don't want to go to the gym tomorrow and I am feeling unmotivated. I have been working 7-12 hour shifts this week and I am exhausted! I am hardly home and my body is drained!  I want to hang out with this guy who is so sweet to me but I keep having to cancel because I am so exhausted.
Question..... So I don't mean to sound conceited or stuck up but I think I am a pretty good looking girl and this guy I am liking is... well... Lets just say I am probably out of his league.  But I still find myself attracted to him even though I know I can do better. What do you think about pretty girls being with uglier guys? I mean he treats me so well and is so concerned and real with me.

160/159

So today was a pretty hard day for me I got up at 6 and went to they gym because I had to be to work earlier then usual. Worked a 12 HOUR SHIFT! I am so so so tired. I felt like I hadn't eaten anything all day and I was starving when I came home so I ate cereal and then I couldn't stop myself and I ate Flan as well. My day would have been perfect if I had just eaten a fruit or something but no... I had to blow it. Oh well, It was a really hard day for me and I really don't feel that guilty because I am so exhausted and I feel like I burned it all off. I guess the scale tomorrow will be the judge of that assumption.

Not bad. I am pretty proud of myself today and I want to share why.  So I walk upstairs from my room and I am overcome by the smell of chocolate chip cookies.  I then proceed to have an inner battle with myself (should I just have one? maybe two? I already used all my calories maybe I shouldn't have one). So what did I do? I brushed my teeth and checked my blog for thinspiration.  I am feeling pretty good about it! :) Day three is over now moving on to day four.  I am actually sort of excited to step on the scale tomorrow morning. Wish my luck and I hope you are all having success!

Net = 323

So I went over my goal of 300 calories today! However compared to how I have been eating today was a pretty good day for me and I expect to see my weight go down tomorrow or at least hover at 160.  Personally for me the daily intake that SGD requires is pretty low but it helps me have a low goal so that when I do mess up my goal it isn't bad because its still a good calorie intake.  I wish I could have had a negative net calories but oh well and I wish I would have had time to go to the gym today but I had an eyelash extension appointment and didn't wake up early enough to get there and get to work on time.
Excuses Excuses. I need to stop using excuses.

So not as good of a day as I hoped but luckily I had so much energy at the gym that I burned so many calories. I wear a heart rate monitor and I just let it track how many calories I burn its nice to not keep track of it.   I did have negative Calorie intake which I don't think I have ever done before so I'm sure that will mean I am losing weight! I hope that I didn't eat to much fruit and vegetables to counteract it... We will see tomorrow
I found this quote when I was searching the Internet for low calorie options and it inspired me a lot and thought I would share it with you guys.
"So you’ve been awake for a few minutes now, thinking about what you ate yesterday. The stupid, stupid mistakes that you would love to go back and change. The Calories that didn’t make you any happier. That extra digit that showed up on the scale. So you’re going to do what? Sit on tumblr all day staring at the pictures of girls that you wish you could be? Read the blogs of the girls who are succeeding? Try not to eat for a few hours and then give into your depression? NO. You will achieve it. Screw that scale. Screw the people who told you you weren’t worth it. Screw the food sitting in the pantry, the fridge, the stores, the restaurants. Ladies, it’s day 1 of no more binges. Day 1 of consistent pound loss. Day 1 of sore abs, legs, and butts. Count ahead a few days. Where are you? Day 30 of the guys noticing you.. Day 47 of proving your family wrong. Day 59 of your skinny friends not lying when they call you pretty. Day 70 of not being embarrassed in dressing rooms. Day 82 of everyone asking if you’ve lost weight. Day 95 of shopping in the small sizes. Day 110 of people picking you up to give you hugs without thinking you’re too heavy. Day 123 of feeling the jealousy of other girls looking at you. Day 132 of being somebody else’s thinspo. You can’t get to those days without having a day 1. and those dates may seem far away, but think about this. Day 2 includes being happy with your choices from the day before."

Fast Sunday

So I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the LDS religion. But on the first Sunday of each month we are asked to fast 2 meals and give the money we would have spent on those two meals to the church so they can help feed people who are hungry and poor.
So today I am fasting.  My stomach growled all the way through church and I can't wait until 5 when I get to eat dinner.  However it's nice to know that it will be really hard to mess up my calorie intake today because I haven't eaten 2 meals. 
Tomorrow I am starting the SGD (Skinny Girl Diet) with a few girls who's blogs I follow and I am way excited. This is what the SGD is.

I really like that you can eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want.  And if you mess up and go over your calorie intake for the day you are able to exercise off the extra calories which is good for those of us (me) who tend to forget they are dieting or get unmotivated in the middle of being really faithful to my diet. 
I have never done this diet before has anyone out there done it before? What results did you get?
By the way my name isn't Megan Winters my real name is Kambree but I made a fake profile because I don't really want people who I know following me and knowing how I feel about my body and stuff.  Isn't it strange how we are so comfortable with sharing our insecure thoughts with strangers but not with people who we love or who know us. 
Maybe that's just me.  Anyways I hope you are all having a great Sunday and it's so great to have followers! Thank you so much!

Period

So I started my period today which made my weight way high! I got mad at my dad yesterday and I ate cake because I was upset. Cried myself to sleep. Woke up with puffy eyes. Cried some more. Went out to eat for my grandmothers birthday cheated on my vegetarian deal. My food had bacon and turkey. I was also pissed about that and I felt pretty sick afterwards.  The thing that makes me mad is that I could have ordered something else or even fish which I do eat.  I have no will power.  I just need to buck up and tell my parents I just didn't want to tell them at lunch with 14 other members of my family around.  Because I'm sure they will make a big deal about it and I'm not ready to share it with everyone yet then I went to work which was pretty stressful and hard laborious day.  I have cramps like no other. Came home had a bubble bath and watched Funny Girl.  I don't even remember what I consumed I am upset and pissed and I blame my stupid monthly womanly hellish occurrence.  So.... I hate to disappoint all of you out there reading my blog which is a whopping 0 people. But I also hate that I have disappointed myself.
I am going to do the Skinny Girl Diet starting Monday.  I hope it will help me get out of this funk.
I'm going to bed today was a big FAIL! Tomorrow is a new day.  I hope I wake up refreshed and happy!

I am pretty Proud of today! I wish I hadn't snitched cake at work but I didn't each very much I use a calorie calculator on livestrong.com and I didn't go over my calories on that plan.  Didn't do the whole negative calorie thing but.... oh well maybe I will stick to the livestrong plan for a bit and see how it works.  I did really good with the vegetarian thing today. No cheating! I'm sure I had milk and eggs in that cake and the chi tea late thing I had.  But like I said I haven't given up eggs and milk yet.  I think I might try it when I go back to school and I am in more control of what I eat.  My workout wasn't all that great.  I did weight lifting today which I haven't done sense I took a class in high school. I have definitely lost a lot of strength and I was really shaky.  I just wish I could have done more of a workout like yesterday where I burned 700ish calories oh well. Tomorrow I have to get up pretty early if I want to make it to the gym or I have to go after work which will probably be much harder.

My body is feeling pretty good right now and I think it has to do with the vegetarian diet. I know I am only 2 days into it but is it possible to start feeling results this soon?  Or it could be because I had eaten so much over the weekend that my body is trying to tell me how much happier it is when I feed it good things and exercise it. ha? 

164

So I am 4 pounds up from the last time I weighed in.  I'm sure its because I ate so much on my vacation and it's embarrassing how little control I have about what I eat.  That is another reason why I want to become vegetarian is because I will always have to think about what I am eating rather then just eat everything around me.  I had a good workout today and I am going to drink a lot of water today so I'm hoping I can at least lose 2 pounds by tomorrow from water weight and because I was pretty bloated this morning.

(I already cheated on my new vegetarian diet! grr. I guess I didn't really decide I was going to give up fish but it's disappointing that I couldn't get through one perfect day of being a vegetarian.  I have only decided to give up beef, pork, chicken, and turkey for now.  I hope I can eventually work off the fish, milk and eggs.  But that might not be for a year or so. I guess I didn't exactly cheat but I still sort of feel bad about it)

So..... Not such a great eating day.  I really want to make a goal to have my net calories be a negative number!  The thing was I thought I was making healthy choices all day but I obviously have a problem with my portion sizes.  I also was being dumb today when I was choosing to eat a bunch of nuts.  I was just so worried about getting my protein in today that I completely forgot how high in fat and calories nuts are.  I think I need to do more research on how to get vegetarian protein but not only from nuts and peanut butter...

I bought some new running shoes today.  I am so excited to use them! They are the new Nike shoes that are supposed to feel like you are barefoot running! I hope it helps my knee not hurt so much when I run!

Anyways I found a quote I like "Excess to XS" Thought it was a good thinspiration quote.

New Leaf

So I just got home from vacation and I am feeling way sick! I ate so much! I mean like maybe 2 or 3 weeks worth of food.  I am only going to drink water for the rest of tonight but I am have been thinking about something.  A lot of girls are my school are becoming vegetarians or Vegans. A lot of them have said how much more energy they have and how they are happier and feel healthier.  I think I might want to do this.  I have always loved animals and when I was in Junior High I was a Vegetarian for 2 months or so.  I think what my problem was I was to young to really know what I wanted and I started off to quickly.  I have read up about the Ovo-Lacto Vegetarians.  Which means they don't eat meat from animals but they eat eggs and animal products like milk.  This sounds more reasonable for me at the stage i am at.  I also don't think I will give up poultry just yet.  Not only do I need to ease into this new lifestyle slowly I have to ease my family into it.  We will see I'm still thinking about it I haven't made up my mind yet.  But I am going to try it out for a bit.

Weight Plateau

So for the last year or so I have my weight has fluctuated from 170 to 160.  This Sunday I weighed in at 160 and this morning I weighted in at 163.  :( GRRR. I have been eating pretty good and exercising 4 or more times a week for the last 3 weeks and I keep losing and gaining weight within 170 and 160.  I am so sick of these numbers! I think I just need to be more stricket on what I put into my body and drink a lot of more water.

So far I have had a piece of bread and a mango today.  I plan on going to the store sometimes today or tomorrow and buy some green tea. I want to drink it in the mornings I read that it increases your metabolism and who doesn't need that? I guess skinny people don't but I could defiantly use it.  I went to the gym today ran a mile did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 25 minutes on a bike.  Then stretched and came home and did sit ups.  Now I need to shower and get ready to go to work.
Wish my luck on the rest of today!

Fat

I am so uncomfortable in my skin.  I have been trying to eat healthy for the last 2 weeks and I do pretty good all week but then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday roll along and I blow my whole week.  I have been 160-168 pounds for the last two years and its way to much weight!!! I need help and I would love some support. I am keeping myself anonymous (no my name is not Megan Winters)  but I would love your support and tips for losing weight. This is me as of a few months ago but I haven't changed much sense these were taken.  Tomorrow I will weigh myself and measure myself. I'm hoping this blog will help me stay focused!

I am 5'4 my goal is to weigh 120-125 I am hoping to achieve this over this summer. I have 16 weeks until I go back to college and I want to be confident in the way I look and I want to feel good about myself.  I obsess about how i look and I get depressed about it.
