New You 2011 Week 3

Goal Weight: 140 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 157 lbs
This Week's Weight: 159 lbs
That means I gained 2 lbs. I have been doing great with my exercise. So that is a bit frustrating.

My food weakness is SUGAR and dairy. I am sooo addicted to sweetened milk! I have not had ice cream in a month, so that is great!I used to eat it 2+ times a day. I really miss it, but I can satisfy my cravings with vanilla milk.

Week 2

weight: 154lbs (home) 157lbs (gym)

I have been so busy with school that I haven't been able to make it to the gym :( On the flip side, I have been so busy with school that I haven't had time to eat out of boredom :) So I lost 1 pound. I consider that to be a success!

Update: I made it to the gym today! I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I also did TONS of walking today.

week 1

Current picture: 160lbs

What I used to look like, and would like to look like again. +/- 110lbs

weight: 160 lbs (gym) 155lbs (home)

today's exercise: 30 min elliptical, 10 min stretching

I haven't began eating better. I need to figure out a plan for that. I hate healthy food. I live off cheesy pasta, ice cream, chocolate, and junk food. I haven't found any vegetables I can even tolerate.

I would like to weight 125lbs eventually, but my first goal is 140lbs.

1/4/2011

Foods:
oreo balls: +/- 20
strawberry crush: 1 bottle
apple butter: 1tbs
candy cane: 1
chewy mint: 1

Exercise:
none!

Weight: 158 lbs

Well, I decided to start tracking my eating and exercising habits. They aren't so good. Hopefully I can get into a better routine once school starts.

Changes.

I decided to take too many classes this semester! I'm so tired of college. I applied to the nursing major. If I get accepted, I will graduate in 2015. That is NINE semesters away!

On Campus:
Anatomy & Physiology 1 +lab
Biology +lab
World Literature
Nursing Concepts

Online:
US Constitution
Trigonometry

My books cost $700. My tuition is $7,000. College is expensive and scary. Jordan and I are trying very hard to avoid loans, which is getting harder to do. He is also in college full time, and neither of us have a job.

Our big goals:
No debt
Have $20,000 in savings by graduation
Degrees & jobs by 2015
House by 2016

We had to leave our city apartment for cheaper country living. I loved city life. Leaving the city also meant leaving our jobs. I loved my job. I'll never have a job that good again. Jordan didn't like his job, but it was better than nothing!
