Fighting for Fitness

I haven’t weighed myself yet. I’m holding back. 

I’ve eaten well for the past two days, and counted all of my calories on MyFitnessPal, so that’s good. I went to the gym tomorrow, too.

I just have to keep reminding myself of the number of days that I have left. It stopped me last night from eating something bad for me, so let’s see how well this works out. 

78 Days left to lose the weight.
78 Days to change how I view myself. 

As the title says, I have 79 days left to reach 135 pounds. I woke up pretty late today, and it’s already 11 in the morning. I figured that I would do laundry and work out. I don’t have a job, so it’s kind of easy for me to make my own schedule during the day.

Right now, my breakfast is pretty yummy. Coffee with 1% milk (my dad won’t drink fat free) and Splenda, and this really nifty “Breakfast on the go” packet I found made by Emerald. It’s berries and cream flavored nut and granola mix. Only 190 calories - perfect for a late breakfast when I know that I’ll still want to eat lunch.

Right now, I feel pretty determined to get this done. 79 days and 20 pounds for my summer goals. That means… a pound every four days or so. That’s entirely in the healthy range.

I’ll be posting later. I’m excited about it. 

I can do it this time.

Today’s workout was pretty great. When I first left the gym with my roommate, I was complaining because I didn’t feel a burn anywhere once I got off any of the weight machines, and I was concerned that I just hadn’t pushed myself hard enough.

Post-shower reflection: Ow. Ow. Ow.

I will definitely be feeling this in the morning, and that makes me happy.

As of tomorrow, I’m going all-out in trying to pull myself together. I would say tonight, but it’s kind of ten o’clock at night. I need to focus on calorie-counting and paying attention to the quality of food that I’m putting into me. That might help.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Today is Christmas eve, and I have a Christmas Eve brunch with some of my family that I won’t be able to see tomorrow. I’ve decided within myself that I’m not going to allow the holidays to throw me off of my goals this time..

I have 125 days left to reach my goal.

I am still in the 150-pound range. 

The point of the holidays is to see my loved ones - it does not need to be centered around food. I am not going to deprive myself, but I am going to continue to write everything down and log what I eat on My Fitness Pal to maintain my levels of responsibility.

I had two sunny-side up eggs with salt and pepper for breakfast with a NutriGrain bar and a cup of coffee with reduced fat milk. I only ate it to make sure that I wouldn’t overeat at my dad’s girlfriend’s house. I need to make sure that I look good, feel good, and enjoy myself. 

Enjoyment comes from experiences and people.

Enjoyment does not come from food.

Happiness does not come from food.
