Weigh in Wednesday!
Yikes, consistency is key. Today I weighed in at 245.4 which is 2lbs heavier than my starting weight? I know why this is the case though, haven't been eating right and drinking my water. Mainly because of a lack of time and energy. Gotta do better! Let's all try our best today!
WEIGH in Wednesday!
Okay, it's Thursday but I forgot to weigh myself so here we are. 241.2 Not bad considering I ate like crap due to the move. I didn't lose but I didn't gain everything back. It's a new week for me now so I'm gonna make all the effort I can to get out of the 240's. 230's here I come!
Grabbed a salad at doc greens for lunch
It's hard to stay healthy during moving week!
All the things you need are packed. You're exhausted. And you just want quick and delicious food asap. All that is to say that I ate like crap this week. Lunch time
We’re moving tomorrow so I’ve been packing, organizing, and not at all concentrating on eating healthy for the past two days. I think tomorrow’s not gonna be much better either. Well, I shouldn’t say that, I should say I don’t think it will be as bad but it still won’t be good lol. We’ll see what happens. I’ll be sure to get back on the best track by Monday.
hey
some real non-toxic weight loss tips for ya!
negative calorie foods aren’t real
if you only do cardio you’re gonna be really flabby cause you lost ur muscles first
you wont get bulky from lifting low (10-15lb) weights you will just lose fat faster
you can drink too much water
fats are not your enemy oh my god! if you eat fatty foods you stay full all day
you can lose up to 2 pounds a week if you eat a whopping 1,200 cals a day. seriously.
not eating enough slows metabolism = slower weight loss
the more carbs you eat the hungrier you are gonna get during the day
take ur damn multivitamin
you will be fine if you cheat on your diet once or twice. you wont gain anything from eating a single piece of cake. you could die tomorrow enjoy your life
lose it slow for minimum skin sagging
fruits have a lot of sugar, cut them out if you are taking the proper vitamins
spot training isn’t real you cant just lose it in one place
stress can make you retain weight. so, ironically, if you’re worried about losing all the time you will just lose it slower
track your weight loss with weekly measurements. The scale is addicting and usually inaccurate and you will feel a lot more accomplished this way.
Your ideal thin self with a wonderful life doesn’t exist. Its still going to be you but just a little smaller. Learn to love the you right now cause you are all you got.

Down 100lbs in 2016. 2017 I plan on getting to goal & toning up 💪🏼
The best thing you can do is to not give up!!!
Good luck everyone 🍀💜
So week one is done! I lost 2.6 pounds and some centimeters off of my inches. I’m happy because I really did have a few times there where I ate and drank some things I shouldn’t have. I’m proud to say that today also marks five days of not drinking! I’m not giving up alcohol completely but I am putting an end to drinking alone. Which sounds little but is pretty huge for me so I’m giving myself a big ole pat on the back!
Here’s my starting numbers: Hips: 50 Waist: 50.4 Chest: 49 Arms: 18 Thighs: 30 Weight: 243.3
As you can see, the loss isn’t drastic but it’s just right. If I keep at it the way I have, or doing even better, I see no reason the pounds and inches won’t melt away. Meal prepping is EVERYTHING. On to week two!
An open letter about eating crap and drinking too much
With full disclosure I will say last night I caved and went through the Wendy’s drive through. I ate a cheeseburger and fries with reckless abandon despite having already prepped delicious, healthy meals. And I can’t even tell you why. Was it because I have some sort of rebellion against staying within the parameters of eating healthy? Was it because I was stressed after a long day? I have no idea. What I do know is that I woke up today and had to find some way to make peace with that lapse in will power. I’d removed one part of the bun so that was less bread consumed. And I didn’t drink the sugary fountain drink that accompanied it. But still, I couldn’t really convince myself I hadn’t effed up my progress.
Now, hours later, I’ve come to terms with it. I’ve made healthier choices all day, drank plenty of water, have been in a decent mindset. But as the night nears, I worry. Am I going to become thoughtless again? Will I cave and cram a ton of calories down my throat just because they taste good? Again, I don’t know. I will say that with having meals and snacks prepped, avoiding unexpected temptations has been way easier. Where I once would have stuffed my face with fried delicious mistakes at my job (I work in a restaurant), I hold off, drink some water and eat an approved snack. Still, I worry about tonight. And I worry about tomorrow because it’s my day off and I may get bored and deviate from my meal plan.
The same goes with alcohol. Somewhere over the past year I became crazy dependent on drinking. Not to the point that I would go through withdrawal if I didn’t have a drink or anything. More like, I’m off so I should have a drink. Or, I’m out so I should have a drink. Or, I’m at a friends place so I should have a drink. Or, I had a rough day, or a great day, so let’s have a drink to cap it off, shall we? It became just another part of my day. Practically EVERY DAY for the last year. I probably skipped maybe one week across the whole year if being completely transparent. I didn’t need any one to drink with me either, I could take care of a bottle of red with no qualms.
So, here we are, two nights in a row have passed where I was alone and did NOT have a sip of alcohol. I find myself worrying about after work. Will I be so stressed out that I break my healthy eating and living goals to buy a drink? Especially since I don’t have to work in the morning. And then what about tomorrow? A whole day off! Prime time to have a chilled beer while doing chores.
This is a pretty long post and I’m not sure what I’m aiming for with it. Maybe just to say these things outside of my head. Perhaps I just want to not be the only one who knows I’ve done this (in the event that someone else actually reads this post). Who knows.
What I do know is this: I will make mistakes. I will eat things that will harm more than help. I will drink things that I shouldn’t. But I won’t let that stop me. I won’t let a mistake be the reason I call the whole thing off. I have a lot I want to do in this life but being unhealthy lessens the time and likelihood of them occurring. Plus, I’d like to just BE FIT. Like, how awesome would it be to live in a fit body, that can do things like climb stairs with ease and run marathons and not be afraid to go inside a store and ask what sizes they carry before even looking at all the cute clothes? That’s what I want. And these mistakes won’t be the reason I don’t get what I want.
Good luck to everyone out here trying to get healthy, lose weight, and live better. Let’s not let our mistakes overpower all of our successes. Yes, every time you eat healthy, you’ve succeeded. Every time you’ve worked out, success! Every time you’ve decided to drink water or make an unhealthy food choice a bit healthier with a small alteration, you’ve achieved success. We can do this. We have to.
Love, poundsonthepavement
I typed out a whole long post about my meal prep and then the Tumblr app decided to be a pain and kick me off, so it went bye bye. The gist of it was that I meal prepped today, packed some healthy snacks and drank water so yay. All that's left is to prep my breakfast for the week which will be overnight oats. I have to wait until I get off work tonight to do that though. Here's the only pic I took out of all the things I made today. It's a kale, Italian sausage, and spaghetti squash casserole. It's pretty good if I do say so myself.
A few random updates!
So, the month is almost over, but this is only day four of my weight loss journey. I’m feeling pretty good about things so far. For the most part I’ve been eating healthy, so I’m happy. I’ve unofficially lost a little more than three pounds (i say this because I’m going to do weigh ins on Wednesday and OBVIOUSLY it’s only saturday). But I was just so excited to see a drop so soon that I had to mention it! Today I focused on increasing my water intake which had been pretty non-existent for a while. I managed to drink around 60-64 ounces! I have plans on increasing that number in the coming days to make sure I’m getting all the water my body needs.
Tomorrow is the start of my turn with meal prepping. I did some midnight grocery shopping to make sure I have everything I need to make some healthy and delicious paleo meals that are autoimmune friendly as my sister has a few dietary needs that call for extra care. I still have a couple of items left that I need to pick up first thing in the morning. Other than that, Sunday will be prep day! I can’t wait.
I’m going to work on a goals list or something like that in the coming days as well because I feel like I should have that listed somewhere officially. I think I listed a few numbers in a previous post but I want to do something a little more involved. So keep an eye out for that!
that’s all I have for now, time to go to sleep!
Water intake for the day so far:
48 ounces Way more than I've drank any other day this week. Gonna keep sipping away!
Snack prepping! My sis and I decided to trade off weeks for meal prepping. This way we are super accountable as we have to provide healthy meals for one another. This was her week, I'll start prepping on Sunday and I'll be sure to update about it.
PLEASE SHARE FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT NEED THIS!! This August body shot update is dedicated to everyone out there who thinks they can’t lose weight or that they are just meant to be over weight the rest of their lives. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Never give up, keep working, stay strong and get healthy. You hold the power! Come over the my YouTube channel for weekly weigh ins and motivation! Www.youtube.com/70lbsoflife
I need fitblr friends!! Reblog if you want weight loss buddies!
Motivation and Perseverance is key.
Three days into being healthier so far
Day one was a fail, day two was better, but you what they say: third ones the charm! I ate really good today and I didn't let myself cave and drink the sugary sweet coke that was chock full of the caffeine I so desperately wanted. I will say I that even though I did drink more water today than previously that I still didn't drink near as much as I need. So I'll be working on that tomorrow.
