My Diet Personality Summary

citre — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 13:25:31 +0000

Your eating personality is Steady Snacker

Steady Snackers have a diet of unplanned snacking throughout the day and night, whether they’re hungry or not. In addition to eating regular meals, you’ve developed a habit of not being able to turn down food that’s within your easy reach. You see others pass up a plate of cookies, a bowl of nuts or a nearby vending machine and wonder if you’ll ever be able to do the same.

Your exercising personality is Couch Champion

Couch Champions, like so many of us, are most comfortable on the couch. You have never liked to sweat or feel the burn and don’t really get why people enjoy going to the gym. Besides, all day long at work and at home, you’re a productive person with a very active mind. Okay, so you know you could be in better physical shape than you are, but there’s got to be a better way than having to get out the old gym bag!

Your coping personality is Persistent Procrastinator

Persistent Procrastinators talk endlessly about needing to lose weight but can’t make it happen. Things get in the way – like work projects, family vacations, or even dentist appointments. You see others starting new weight loss programs and wonder if your time will ever come.

Thanks for confirming my worst fears, Diet.com… =(

Let’s Start Over

Righto, I’ve had my fill of junk to last me a lifetime, hopefully. I’m ready to get back on track, because we went on vacation and I took a look at the pictures that were taken of me an I looked so horrible, so HUGE! I AM going to do something about it now. I should have been faithful all the while, I could’ve shed a few pounds already, maybe. I’m gonna find a skinny body and put my face on it for inspiration. Maybe even find a large body and put my face on it, to keep me from eating. I need to carry around a photo of myself when I was skinnier. I need something. I’m going to do this!!

Breakfast:
3 Whole Grain Buttermilk Pancakes (no syrup) — 250 calories
Minute Maid Fruit Falls Berry Water Beverage — 5 calories

Reality Check

citre — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:57:57 +0000

Well, I got my wedding dress! I tried it on, and of course, I’m a little too big for it. Oh, its fits, and it zips up tightly, and it makes me look like a have a crack in my back, as in another butt crack LOL! So now I’ve got to lose weight. I have no choice. I want to get back into exercise and eating right, I do.. but I just don’t know what I should do.

Dead End

citre — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:48:09 +0000

Haven’t been exercising at all because I’ve been lazy and on July 4th I didn’t wear sunscreen and I got burnt so bad and it hurts to lift my arms. I’ve been trying to eat good though… I’m hoping to get back to exercising soon. I still can’t believe I haven’t even lost 1 single pound… It makes me ready to give up..

Happy Birthday USA!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day. Happy July 4th and Happy Birthday America!

De-jiggling

citre — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 20:05:47 +0000

Yay! I’m so excited! Now my arm only jiggles for one second in stead of five! Yes! LOL!

Food:
Breakfast: 2 Small strawberry muffins (???)
Snack: Yogurt w/ grapes (100 cals)
Lunch: Chicken Nachos (???)
(leftover from last night, very little cheese.. not even a full serving of cheese)

Workouts
Post Breakfast: Turbo Jam Learn and Burn
Post Lunch: Turbo Jam 20 Minute Workout (attempted it, anyway)
Late Afternoon: About 10 mins of ‘Dejiggling’ my arms

Um, I guess I did good today so far. Yay, go me?

I might move this blog because I want to be able to customize my own layout.. I’ll blog more if I have a pretty layout that I want to see! ;D

I got an F+ in Dieting

citre — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 17:49:36 +0000

Why is it that when you first start a diet, that you are SO pumped and eager and think that you can jump whatever diet hurdles life throws at you? Because I was like that the first three days of my diet. I was serious and ready and envisioned myself in my new body! But slowly cravings crept in and took over! I caved completely.. I just can’t help eating what I want to! I think my problem is that I’m not seeing ANY results, though. I thought I was, but I guess my mind was playing tricks on me. I’ve gained 2lbs instead of losing anything! It just makes me so mad. I’ve GOT to lose weight, though.

SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEEEE….

Not to mention its so hard for me to drink alot of water. I’ve never liked water.. I’m just a flavor craver. But, I am drinking a whole lot more water than I used to. I never drank ANY water. EVER! So I guess that’s good for a start. Gotta carry water with me wherever I go, I guess.

Another thing, Turbo Jam 20 Minute Workout is so dang hard for me to master! Something about it my body just isn’t coordinated enough to learn. Sigh..

Feeling Pumped, Pumped, Pumped

.. as Chalene Johnson says. I LOVE that woman. If it wasn’t for her workouts I dunno what I’d do. I can tell a big difference already — I’m alot more active than I used to be. Thank you, Nury for’ introducing’ me to Chalene & Turbo Jam! I look forward to doing TJ every day! Even my fiance has noticed a change in me. Last night we were outside talking and I just couldn’t stop moving around (doing a few TJ moves LOL) and he was like, “Why are you so active lately??” I just grinned and said, “Turbo Jam!”

Anyways, here’s what I’ve done so far today!

8:10am-8:50am — Turbo Jam Turbo Sculpt
Drank 1 12oz bottle of water
Breakfast: Granola bar — 90 cals
Lunch: Slice of white bread with 2 single slices of cheese
One 12oz bottle of water
2:15-2:35pm Turbo Jam Ab Jam

I want something cleared up… is it more effective for you to eat then exercise or exercise then eat? Because I feel like I’m not doing any good if I exercise then eat something.. when I could have worked off what I just ate! Or does it matter?
