Okay, haven’t been posting much at all, but here’s the problem.
I have a lot of weight to get rid of still, and I’m on my way to that. And I really don’t want to focus on the number, because I know I’ll obsess over it. But at the same time, I have a very real possibility of becoming a jockey, if I can get my weight down to 110 lbs. I don’t know if I should focus on getting rid of excess baggage first and then bring in the scale for fine tuning, or just start using my scale.
I ran today, did you?
I did! I went to my orthopedic surgeon who advised that I do certain foot stretches and get fit for running sneakers at this really expensive place. Got home with my new Nikes, ran three miles. Foot is aching badly, but I’m icing it and going to go do strength training! Good day.
Looks like today is gonna be a rest day. :(

I really want to go running today but I always feel so awkward around the people I live with when I go running. Usually I wait till everyone leaves cus it always like ‘oh you run? well you must be fat. and a show off. and trying to make us feel bad about our lazy ass lifestyles.’ They dont say that but you can just feel it hanging in the air of the room when I’m putting on my shoes and heading out the door. ugh. just stop.
I have the same problem, I’ve even resorted to dropping my running gear out the window and walking out the front door in regular clothes, then changing behind the house because I didn’t want my family to judge me. Especially because my dad runs marathons, I can only imagine, “oh you ran? how far did you go? Oh only four miles?” Cue condescending look…
I didn’t give up sugar
I got rid of it. I don’t need it. Its not a sacrifice. I banished it.
A lot of people have been commenting recently
about how you shouldn’t be hard on yourself, and use internal insults to motivate yourself, because then when you achieve what you want, you won’t be happy with it. I’ve found that to not be entirely true. I think being negative and strict with yourself motivates you quite well, and I’m constantly telling myself that I better go for a run or I’m fat and lazy, or that I better damn well run that extra mile because I’d be a wimp if I couldn’t. That sort of thing. I think its okay as long as you take the time to stop afterwards and realize that you just accomplished something. “There you go, see that wasn’t so bad,” is my motto. But I need the first part of it too.
Went for a run~!
Like a boss. No idea how long it took me or how far I went because I’m still trying to get back into the swing of things. I just put on my gym clothes and sneakers, tucked my card key into my shoe and ran. It was a lovely feeling, and the campus is much more lit at 10:00pm than I would have thought, so I think I’m going to try to make this a nightly thing.
thanks for answering :) I just like to get my fat intake to be lower and protein to be higher, so I'm trying to change my omelettes to one whole and egg and two egg whites.
What ever works for you! =D
Does anyone know if the carton’s of egg whites are healthy?
gretduh:
I know egg whites are good, but are there any additives or preservatives they put in to it make it last longer?
I’m kind of paranoid, but I feel like when I throw out the yolks, I’m wasting food and money.
Are there any brands you suggest?
Its a common misconception that egg whites are healthier than the yolk. This is perpetuated by the fact that there are significantly less calories and fat and cholesterol in egg whites. However, you also sacrifice almost all of the nutrients! When a chick is growing inside the egg, it feeds on the egg yolk, not the whites. The fat in eggs is healthy fats, and the cholesterol has not been proven to raise bad cholesterol levels, only good cholesterol levels.
In short, eat the whole egg. You need nutrients, not just calories.
