I wanna be a 10!

I think I have done more talking on the forums vs. my blogging this week. The days have been better. I did some major spraypainting to some metal objects in my classroom and OMG! my hands and arms are in pain. I have been doing some major working out so the rest of my body is in pain also. I haven’t let the pain deter me from continuing my daily workouts. Today was my first time cooking in about two weeks. It has just been so hot that it was so much easier to run and get food. My eating habits haven’t been terribly bad. I need to keep myself away from Zaxby’s because I am in love with their hot wings. I live close to so many restaurants…maybe I should move out into the country so that I will not have all of that temptation. The next two weeks will be quite busy for me. Hopefully, I can stay on track despite having to move, go on vacation, and continue to decorate my classroom.

Until next time…..

As I sit here and eat hot wings, french fries, texas toast, and drink a mr. pibb, I am finally ready to admit to myself that I am an emotional eater. I’ve been going through something the past couple of days, and each day that I tell myself that I am going to start the Extreme Fat Smash diet over, I continue eating whatever and have not been working out. I saw my old boss today and she has loss 42 lbs. That helped me to wake up some….but I still didn’t go down to the gym to workout. I know that this is an excuse, but it is sooooo hot here. I’ve been letting go of some of the emotions by writing in my journal when my nerves are shot to hell. I should be working out instead of eating…..I know, I know. This battle is going to be a little tougher than I thought. 

This 100 degree heat is unreal in Alabama. This has kept me from cooking and I have been eating out frequently. I haven’t been working out….when I say working out, I mean, no cardio. I have been keeping busy preparing for my new classroom as well as my upcoming move. I have decided that I am going to start over on the Extreme Fat Smash on Monday. I have to get rid of these two or three pounds that I have regained. Those 9-10 pounds that I lost were too good and I cannot derail myself at this point. Until next time…..

The past couple of days have been so busy. I am in the process of packing up my apartment and cleaning up my classroom so that I can move into it. My diet went straight to hell in phase 3 because of these things as well as PMS. Looks like I will definitely be starting over. The only bright side is that I have been keeping busy, working muscles and actually losing some inches. I put on some cargo shorts last night to go out to dinner and they were TOO BIG! I put on a jean skirt that was once a little snug in the hip that is now TOO BIG also. I couldn’t be more happier. I’ve got to do better with the diet because I want to lose the pounds. Will give an update in the morning as to whether or not I dropped any pounds this week.

I felt bad yesterday because I didn’t hit the gym. But turns out that I had a good workout because I painted a classroom yesterday for about 5 hours. The book says that I burned 3.5 calories per minute. I knew there was a bright side somewhere. The downside is that I had McDonald’s: Double Cheeseburger, Medium Fry, & Hi-C. I hadn’t eaten and that is what we were close to. Then for dinner I had a Pastrami Sandwich with swiss cheese and mustard, about 8 onion rings, and a large sweet tea. Yesterday was tough and I was so tired. I think I may have to start over.

Today was absolutely horrible. I was cramping this morning so I didn’t workout. I went to our local Chappy’s Deli and had these two small double decker club sandwiches with no mayo. They were about the size of half a sandwich with a cup of chili. I went to Chick-Fil-A and had the chargrilled chicken sandwich that I love…..but I had a large french fry and diet coke. I left there and on the way home I stopped at Marble Slab Creamery and had the nonfat frozen yogurt in a waffle cone and butterfinger sprinkled throughout. BAD I know. I’ll have to work on it double time this weekend. I need some of that dust to push me on….Until next time

I am entering phase 3 of EFS and I only lost 2 lbs. through phase 2. I guess I should be happy with those two versus none. I am losing inches, but it looks so much better on the scale. I want so badly to be smaller and each day is getting harder and harder. Maybe I should take out some old pictures of myself to have inspiration. Size 10 seems to be inevitable right now.

Yes, this weekend was tough. Friday night, I shared dessert with with my boyfriend…a replica of T.G.I. Friday’s Brownie Obsession. I only had half of it so I don’t feel quite as bad. Saturday, I only ate three meals…the last one was around 9:30. He and I went to Chili’s and I had the Guiltless Chicken with Wild Rice and 2 servings of corn on the cob. Yesterday, my future mother in law ordered Jim n Nick’s BBQ. I stayed calm and took my own sides, peas and brown rice to eat with the smoked chicken. But later I had my boyfriend take me to Marble Slab Creamery. I deserved it…I gave up on the Mac & Cheese. I did have non-fat frozen yogurt…but had a waffle cone and butterfinger sprinkles on top. Today, I said what the hell. I had the oatmeal for breakfast, then prepared a nice plate of Jim n Nick’s leftovers, including that mac and cheese. Just finished the day off with another waffle cone from marble slab. You would think that I would do better especially when I have only dropped 1 lb. in phase 2 and it ends on tomorrow. I am going to need all the support that I can get. Hope everyone had a great holiday!

I’ve made it five days into the second phase of EFS and my weight hasn’t move much. Over the past 5 days, my weight has fluctuated between the same pound over and over. This is so discouraging because I am working so hard to get this weight off. I want so badly to be smaller thatn what I am now and I have come to a stand still. I know that I didn’t gain it overnight so I can’t lose it overnight, but dang…I was doing so good!

Well, I did my official weekly weigh in and I am down 6 lbs. and a couple of inches. I couldn’t be more pleased. This can be such a harsh task…especially when there are so many things that I have a taste for on a daily basis. Television doesn’t make it any better with all of the commercials that they show. I try my best to keep busy and do other things such as reading or just walking around department stores to keep myself from being bogged down about food. I hope that seven days from now I have more good news to report. Until next time…..
