Day 51

Hey all who's reading this! Sorry it's been so long, I've been trying to get myself to write a blog, but I've been so bad with my choices that I didn't want to own up. But I'm back! And I may have a partner now, too! My neighbor/kinda friend Jenna is possibly going to do this with me. We've both been overweight our whole lives and want to change things. So we'll see how that goes.
I'm actually walking on the treadmill right now, typing on my iPhone, and wanted to talk about my 6-6-3 program, as I call it. It's a jog/walk interval kind of thing I made up about a year ago. For 1 minute each, in mph, you do 6, 6, 3, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3. Make sense? Then I do a 5 minute 3 mph walk, and repeat. That takes me to a nice 30 minute workout. It's a perfect workout for me, and I plan to increase the difficulty as I go by removing the 5 minute walk or increasing speed or replacing 4s with 5s. I want to be able to jog at 5 mph for 30 minutes without dying. That is my main goal, then I'll up it to 5.5 and 6.

Day 7

Wow, it's been a while since I last blogged! Winter break was ending, and I had no motivation to do ANYTHING! But, on the plus side, I lost 4 pounds! WooHoo! 155 was my first goal weight, now I just need to NOT gain any weight. But losing is fine :).

I'm heading up to my grandma's in about an hour for the day. She lives 1 1/2 hours away. Her small town is having a big celebration in honor of her because she's been playing to organ there for... 40 or 50 years. That's crazy! You go Grandma! What this also means is that I will not be controlling exactly what I need for the day. But hopefully that 155 will motivate me to eat sorta good!

I got a scale a few days ago for my bathroom, so now I can actually do my Saturday morning weigh ins. Except I'm thinking of moving them to Friday or Monday since I wake up at different times on Saturdays. But now I can weigh in in the mornings, and everyone knows that's the time to do it!

I think my toughest problem with losing weight is remembering to lose weight, as odd as that sounds. I just usuually forget what my streaks are, or that I have to drink water. So later today I'm going to post signs by my bed with "reminders" of what I need to do each day, and maybe even track there. Who knows.

Day 3

Hey guys, I realize it's 1 AM and technically, day 4, but I'm posting it as day 3. I'm typing on my iPhone, so this will be pretty short. Biggest Loser premiered, so I watched that and worked out. I started doing a Seventeen strength exercise, but lost motivation :(. I also ate a bag of popcorn. I suck at dieting.

Day 2

It's Day 2 and it didn't go as well as I thought. I woke up at 11 since it's Winter break. Both my parents were gone and my mom left a note saying she left hamburger in the fridge for me to make Hamburger Helper. It's my weakness, so I made some. And apparently it was whole wheat, and it tasted HORRIBLE! Usually I don't mind whole grain foods, but this was horrible. I took that as a sign that I shouldn't be putting this crap in my mouth. So I had a bowl of cereal instead.

I texted Jenna (neighbor) and told her I was sad because my Hamburger Helper was bad. She texted back telling me I could come over and play Just Dance 3 with her and two friends. Of course, that's exactly what I always want! For her to invite me to hang out with her and her other friends. She's asked me before, but always when she feels bad for me. I don't want to accept when it's only for pity. Every time she asks I tell her a purposely weak excuse why I can't (just got out of shower, eating cereal, don't want to barge in) and I always hope that she will text back and tell me to come over when I'm done, or that she actually wants me over. Which she hasn't done.

For her (belated) Christmas present, I want to write her a letter telling her how much she means to me. She's pretty much my only friend, and I want her to know that. I also want to tell her how jealous I am, and that's why we had our falling out in the past. I have it all written out, I just need the courage to actually give it to her along with her other presents.

It's almost 7:00, and a new Pretty Little Liars is on! It's the Winter premiere. I'll go down to the basement now and work out! Yay for exercise!!!

Day 1

Hey guys. So I'm just going to count every day and not stop until I get to 366 (because it's a leap year). You can read more about me and my plan and junk up above in those folders, so I'll just tell you about my day. I was really planning on starting my "no junk food" regime today, but it didn't work out. Since I spent most of the day with Jenna, my neighbor/best friend/only friend/it's a long story. We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was so cute! I also had some rice stuff for dinner and Ramen Noodles for lunch. Perfect. And now it's midnight, and I'm hungry again. Grr...
