Lilmamibella's journal- trying to lose 50 pounds!! Comments are welcome!

[Lesli54]

I know that sometimes it seems like the lbs are coming off slowly, but look at it this way...you have a better chance of keeping them off if you do it slowly rather than rapidly. That means that you are learning new behaviors along the way that will help you maintain later.

Keep on moving and losing!

I'm back! I had a very nice vacation/holiday. We went to the races down in Daytona. We also went to Downtown Disney and DisneyQuest. I ate whatever I wanted and didn't do any exercise. We even tried Bongos and Cafe Tu Tu Tango. Cafe was awesome, loved it!

I weighed myself yesterday and I'm still at 164! So today I'm back on my diet and going to the gym today. I got my navel re-pierced and was considering a tattoo, but I'm waiting to find the right tattoo before getting one. They had cute ones to choose from, but since I'm going to be wearing it forever I want to make sure that is the one I want.

Eta:I did go to the gym. Worked out with cardio and strength training for an hour.
B: toast w/ tsp peanut butter and a cup of green tea

L: protein shake for lunch

D: baked pork chop w/ 3/4 c. mixed veggies and water

Had a bowl of ice cream, half bowl of cheetos and then a sundae crunch ice cream!

Monday-

Going to do gym workout! I love to do strength training. I weighed myself and I'm at 162. I'm trying to get to 134. My trainer says I should've been at my target weight by now. So I'm keeping at it. I'm supposed to see my trainer on Wednesday. She says that I should keep doing this diet until I reach my target weight and then after just maintain it. She said I'll need to have 1300 calories a day then.

l: 1/2 c. tuna and 5 saltines

d: 2 hotdogs
1/2 c. vanilla ice cream
c. broccoli
1/2 c. carrots

Did one hour of spinning and went up a flight of stairs 8 times.

Today,
I was feeling depressed. I have no in real life friends. The only thing I look forward to in the day is exercising! The kids keep me kinda busy but there are sometimes when I wish that I had a friend to talk to and hang out with. It gets so boring being in the house. I would work but I doubt I'll be able to get a good paying job. I only have a high school diploma. I was going to college but that didn't last very long. I picked criminal justice and that didn't really work out for me. So, now I have no idea what I want to do. I just know that I want to have a good paying career and something that I'll enjoy doing.
Another thing that has been bothering me is not knowing what will happen when I die. I don't care how I die its just leaving my family that gets to me. I'm not sure I believe in God. I mean I was brought up to believe in God but I'm just not sure he exists. I mean is there any proof that everything said in the bible did happen? I guess I 'd rather believe in some kind of afterlife instead of none at all. That would really be depressing- knowing that if I die that's it I turn into dirt. But it also feels funny to belive in something that I don't think is really real either. What can I do ya know?

You appear to be doing good!!!! Exercising is hard and staying on task is even harder. I know because I've gone off the wagon a few times. Keep it up and you'll see some real results.

I'm sorry you were in a "depressed" mode. Keep coming here - we are here for you and will be here to listen and support you!!!! It's like one big family here!!!!

Keep on
Chris
