Got it right this time
OK the first time I tried this I lost a lot of weight quickly. I worked my butt off and really focused on my food. The problem with that is that I worked too hard too quickly and I was obsessed with food. I wore myself out with my workouts, so much that I'd have to take lots of days off during the week because I just…

I ate 2 meals today :)
I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but for me, it is. I ate a sleeve of crackers (wow, I know but still) And then I consumed a plate of pork roast dinner :D I am pleased (scared but pleased) I weighed in at 108 today which is better than the 105 of last week.

1200 calories
I've discovered that I need to update my diet profile whenever I drop weight. I'm officially out of the 140's and still losing, but the change in weight has me reevaluating my diet in order to keep losing, in a healthy way. I updated my diet plan with my new weight. It now recommends the minimum, 1200 calories. I guess…

Good bye size 18!
Okay, so I admit that the eighteens were always a little loose on my hips. I think my lower half is constantly 1/2 to 1 size larger then my hips/stomach. :grumble: Makes finding clothes very interesting, lol. But look at that gap! And they are loose on my legs too. My eighteens are now offically comfy…

Hula hoop
I know Wii Hula hoop wont burn as many calories as doing it in real. But still, I did 3208 in one go for both the directions; and did sweat like hell. So, I know its working. Have been doing it everyday. Now, my sides don't hurt. And its FUN! I wish they had a lil faster Aerobics/Boxing too.

I threw food away!
I don't know why it's so hard for me to do this. I feel like I'm wasting food if I don't eat it all. Where do you suppose that comes from? It's not my upbringing, so I have no idea. Here's the story...yesterday was my bday and my friends came over to celebrate. They brought a yummy chocolate cake. I couldn't' convince them…

A lump! I have a lump on my right lower back and I just got it checked out by my doctor. It seemed to happen after playing tennis last Sunday and maybe using some muscles that I don't normally use.
