Well, I know I haven’t been on here in close to a month now and I am sorry about not writing sooner. I have been drowning in homework and personal problems which I will explain later. My weight lose has got its ups and down right now, but most of the time it is the same a rollercoaster. Anyways, this will be my longest blog yet so beware!
Weight Lose: Well three weeks ago I lost about 3.5 pounds and I felt amazing and I have no Idea what I did. I think it is because I started working out every day for an hour compared to me working out 5 days a week. I was also pre-making my snacks for the week. The snacks were broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower and for my fruit it was graphs and apples. The apples I had 2 TBSP creamy peanut butter with it and some honest to satisfy my sweet tooth. I was making eggs white (in a box) with one regular egg then I would add veggies, one meat and feta cheese to the egg mix. It was great. For lunch I would have my friends healthy left overs that her husband won’t eat and I ate them because I knew it wouldn’t go to waste. My friend and I don’t like it when food goes to waste, just bad. Then at night I would have my dinner from my mom but I would cut the portions in half. I did the same thing (cutting my portions in half) whenever I ate at a restaurant, that helps me control my portions. I got that tip from my friend (thanks girl). I was drinking more water too. I also started 2 video blogs, one for myself and the other with my friend. It helps talking about it. So I was getting better until the next week.
Two weeks ago I gained weight, not much (.2 lbs) and I was upset because that Friday I was dancing with my friend and only had one beer. Then on Saturday last week I went to Ann Arbor for the U of M campus and it was AMAZING! I got pictures and a new hat, but anyways I walked 6 HOURS! I worked out Sunday and I was hurting from the walking but I still worked out. Then Monday came and my body told me NO, I can’t move. My muscles were so tight that I could move or bend at all until I go a message from my brother’s girlfriend. Tuesday to the rest of the week I worked out and it was great feeling. I found out that I like to work out now.
Last week, I eat my controlled portion sizes, did my workout, and drank my water and it felt great. I worked out with a friend and her kids. When on a 2 hour walk and it was nice. We talked about a lot of dreams we have, activities we want to do this summer, and plans for the future. It made the walking go by faster and enjoyable. So food is going better for me, but now I am trying to get my 64 oz of water in a day and it’s not easy, but I am trying. I work out now for an hour and 10 minutes. Next week I am making it an hour and 15 minutes. I am trying to get it up to 2 hours of working out, but I am taking it slowly.
This week is a little harder on food because it is getting close to that time of the month for me and I love chocolate during that time, I am trying to watch my calorie intake because I am back on the gastric bypass pre-surgery diet again. Like I was in December to January and I try to do it once a month now, but I am working on it. It hard to change habits each month but it is a learning process for me.
Homework: As for my homework…Well, let’s just say that I am not sticking to the New Year’s Resolution as much as I wanted too. This year I wanted to make sure I got my homework in on time, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen this term. I am turning my stuff in on time for one class but the two other’s I am behind in. I am hoping to get ahead here soon. See this term is ALL CORE CLASSES, which means that I have NO TIME to do anything else but these classes. Two classes are digital Video Production and one is Graphic which I am more behind in that then any other class I have. So I will be working on homework most of the weekend.
Personal Problems: As for my personal problems, well I have been trying to put myself out there more to meet a guy, but it’s not working to my advantage at all. Some of the guys I get messages are rude or just wanting the FWB (Friends with Benefits), which I can’t do FWB because I want and need something more than just sex with a guy. I need/want a connection with someone before having sex with them. I want to get to know the person and how they act around me, also wanting to know that they want the same things in the end (marriage with kids) or it is waste of our time. Anyways, so I figure that online dating is good, but maybe meeting someone in person maybe the best thing for me. So if I go to the bar and I find someone I like then I will go up to them this year and not just look at them all the time. I know at the bar is not a good place to look because everyone there is mostly looking for sex, but I am trying other places. I just have to get the nerve to go up to them and talk to them. That is my problem is that I don’t go up to guys that I like because I am afraid that they will turn me down or have there girl beside them (which has happened to me already and I didn’t do even talk to the guy and I got into trouble.) Life can be interesting when you are single. LOL
Weight lose Tip:
After you lose about 10 or more lbs you will have to learn to change your habit again. I know this it is because I recently went through this already. So you will have to make sure that you only have half the food amount you really want then you will also have to watch the types of foods you will be eating. Make sure you get more water to drink, drink about 64 oz or more of water a day.
Dating Tips:
Whenever meeting someone from online make sure it is in a public place and have a backup plan. What I mean for a backup plan is for example, when meeting at an Applebee’s and you have a feeling the guy may not show, make sure you have the money with you to buy a dinner. Also you could make conversation with the waitress or bring a book. Then you can eat and not look so bad. Again this happened to me recently and I think I got through it alright.
