Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 190.8
Weight Loss: 11.4
Yes! I hit it! The 10 pound mark! Haha! I really want to blog everyday, but my life is just too busy to keep this weight loss thing on my mind all day. It's been a while, but at least I'm trying to keep to it. I defiantly haven't been doing my best, I know my loss shows otherwise, but it's just because I know how to cheat. Don't take that as an excuse to cheat. (Even though I do.) It's one of those, don't practice what I preach things.
I was cleaning my room yesterday and if you knew me, you would know this is a big feat. You can never usually see the floor for weeks on end because it is covered in cloths. Well yesterday I did all of my laundry. After cleaning up all of the cloths from the floor, I found a few tags from some new shirts I got a while ago. They were extra large, and I felt a pang of sadness when I picked them up. Its only been this year since I had to start wearing extra large. I was never really into cloths my whole life, but it's gotten to a point where I actually can't buy cloths at certain stores. I don't like that feeling, certain stores don't want to let people like me wear there cloths. You wouldn't see it when you first looked at me, I don't actually look that big. That's what makes me feel so bad.
A main thing I'm going to do when I'm done this weight loss is take a huge shopping trip to New York City and get a whole new wardrobe. Just look forward to that post with the title New York City Baby!

Just Hold On
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 193.8
Weight Loss: 8.4
I know, I'm doing it again, not posting. Its hard to do this everyday. Yea, I know, I keep saying that too, haha. Well I'll just keep trying to do my best. Like with this weight loss, its hard. I bet its easy to sit there and read my blog. I bet one day, someone stumbled upon this blog, hoping to find motivation to lose weight. Like I did, about a year and a half ago. I was co-oping, and was around 180. This was after my first Herbal Magic attempt. I was on Jenny Craig, and it wasn't really working. I was searching for the best way to lose weight and I came across this blog. This women, I don't know where she lived again, probably in the states I think. Well she was on Weight Watches. I have tried Weight Watchers before. It was simple to follow really, just eat the amount of points per day. If you were good and went to the gym, you got more points. Also during the week you get this extra points that if you save up, you could splurge. I never really liked it because it didn't teach you about portion control or healthy eating habits.
Well back to my story, I started reading this blog, from the beginning. It must have been 2 years since this women had wrote in her blog. There was at least a years worth of blogging and I thought, awesome, I can read this women's blog about her story and get some real motivation. I started at the beginning, she seemed like me, just a little older tho. I got addicted to reading her blog. I must of spent a few days just reading her blog every moment I could. It was like a story. I read about her ups and downs. It was so motivating to see everyday how she would just keep losing weight. Then as I got on, the posts where getting farther in between. She would post about how she messed up here and there, but she would do better the next day. But the next post was a week later, and she posed about how she went up, but its ok, because she will do better tomorrow. It got to a point where she just stopped posting. And that was it. I was so disappointed. This women, who I didn't even know, gave me so much hope. She made me feel like I could do it too! But then, she failed.
I promised myself that when I take up this challenge I will start a blog, and I will keep it going until the end. So that someday, someone like me, can find this blog and read my story and get the motivation to do the same. This blog helps me, but I know how much it will help you.
So, today. Lets see, I haven't blogged since Thursday. I remember, I was 194.2. That was good of me. Well Friday I went up a little, I was 194.8. eekk. I told the girls at Herbal Magic "This weekend will be just as good as last!" Bunch of load of crap that was haha! I spent all of Saturday babying Thomas because he was sick. haha It was nice to spend the whole day with him though. I've been so busy with school lately, it was nice to have my Thomas time. I was alright with my food during the day, but at the end, I was just sick of it, I was craving and apple turnover! I convinced Tom to stop badgering me by making a bet. I bet that even if I had this apple turnover, I would still be at least in the 193's by Monday. He bet that I would go up. I said if I go up, then he can day whatever he wants about my food choices, but if I go down then he can't say a word. In my mind, I would be so good with my food on Sunday that I would win the bet.
Turns out, I was crap on Sunday. haha. I ate a second apple turnover, and a sausage at dinner. That was really the only bad thing, oh wait, a piece of apple pie. eekk. Well I drank a lot of water and tried really hard at lunch. Turns out! I am 193.8 so HA! take that Thomas! I know what I'm doing. See you don't need to cut out everything in your life. You just need to know when you need to buckle down after indulging a little bit.
Honestly though, I'll be lucky if I get through this week alive. I have mid terms this week and I am seriously already dying. Its quarter to 12 now and I've only just finished a report that is due tomorrow. I have been working all day since 9 this morning. I don't think I can do it again tomorrow. My food is defiantly going to suffer this week. I just hope I can hold onto this wagon as long as possible, before the proverbial horse decides to kick its hinge legs in my face.
Man I need to sleep. Why don't you wake me when this is all over.

GAHHH
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 194.2
Weight Loss: 8.0
I don't know, I'm just having a bad day, even though I went down 0.2 lbs. Just bad food choices, bad attitude, kinda crappy weather. Blahhhhhh. Everything is just setting me off. Turns out, Thomas pointed out that my so called "Goal Date" is wrong. (Stupid lady at Herbal Magic can't even count) So I won't be at my goal weight by my birthday.... Do you know how angry that makes me. The actual goal date is November 13th I think she said. That's so far away! You know, I don't really mind about the date, I just wish I didn't get my hopes up about being skinny for my birthday.
I defiantly have zero motivation right now. It's probably PMS and I'm sure the motivation will come back in a couple of days, but seriously I feel like I want to scream right now! I have way too much stress at school right now, its nearing the middle of the semester and next week is the week before our mid summer break. So the teachers crammed so many tests right before the break. I don't think I will be able to make it to that! Seriously my head feels like it's going to explode!
I'm not happy..... : / ..... I need a strong drink....

Weight Loss: 7.8
Awesome. I love to see this much loss in one day lol. It'd probably not good, but hey I drank lots of water yesterday so I think I dropped because of that. I had a really busy day with school and I had my piano recital today. I kinda messed up at the recital due to nerves. blahhh. That definitely didn't make me happy the rest of the night. I've got a lot of stress lately. I don't like it.
Well that's all I really need to say, I'm sure if I was posting on the day I'm writing about I would have more to say, but I just can't remember.

Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 195.6
Weight Lost: 6.6
So I'm the same, this makes me happy cause it's my time of the month and I usually get really bloated. I've been good with my food. Eating a lot of my dinners at home. Fish, Chicken. Those are the usual staples. I'm kinda getting sick of sandwiches at lunch tho. I should start making salads and stuff for lunch.
I have been a little naughty lately. I've gotten addicted to nacho chips and salsa haha. It not so bad, 2 table spoons of salsa is 10 cal's and 40 chips is 210 cal's I think. Obviously when I'm munching out I only eat like 10-20 chips. The chips and salsa curves my craving for salt really well. I just need to remember to drink lots and lots of water.

Rant
It Worked! Yesterday was so successful. :) It makes me so happy to make a plan and stick to it. I ate all the food I planned to eat, and even went to the gym!
I thought of making another plan today, since yesterday worked so well. But, I was very lazy! So instead, I made myself breakfast, went to piano, bought lunch, then continued to work on my assignment. I'm finished my assignment now, and I'm completely bored. I could do more homework, which I probably should, but I'm just feeling so down right now. I don't know what it is, probably just an off day, school is stressing me out, the fact that my summer is completely overtaken by school, and I can't even chill and relax with my friends and have a few drinks because of this stupid diet! .. Wait not diet, my new life. That's what it is, run by my school and my food. Ugh! I don't want it to be like this, I want to go to party's and drink, and I want to buy KFC and pig out! This is so stupid.
What would you pay to look the way you want? A few thousand dollars? Probably. Very occasionally eating yummy food? Maybe. Never getting drunk again? ... ehhhh. Why must it be so hard for someone like me to look like someone else. Naturally skinny people don't have to give up everything I do. What is it? My genus, my tendency to have bad luck?
Everyone needs challenges in there life. They make you a better person. The harder the challenge, the more you grow (or shrink hopefully). I just wish it didn't have to be this hard.

Do Something!
I've decided I'm not going to weigh myself today on my scale, I don't want to give myself false hope that I'm losing weight.
So I'm sitting in my bed, trying to force myself to get up. I need to finish this assignment for school, it will probably take me a couple hours, which isn't so bad, but just the thought of it is making me want to stay in bed all day. Also, getting up means I need to make myself breakfast. What should I make? Hmmm, what should I make... Maybe I should get a booster juice, but that means I need to get myself looking some what presentable to go out. Man I'm lazy. I could have cereal, but I don't want to use my starch this morning, I don't know why, I just don't.
Alright, here's the plan, I think if I make a plan, and stick to it, my day will go smoother. First, I will get up, get a shower, and go get a booster juice. I will come back, work on my assignment, and have a snack during my work. Maybe a light salad. Then once I'm finished my assignment, I will make lunch, I don't know what yet, maybe a tuna sandwich, or the chic pea thing. Both of those sound very tasty right now :) After lunch I will go to Canadian tire to pick up a present for my friend. Then Thomas will be done his work. He wants to go to the gym, which I should go with him. At the gym I will try to do some weight training instead of cardio. Also I will ask about the spin classes. I liked those a lot when I took them a few months ago. I should really get back into them. Once I'm done at the gym, I should really get another shower before I go to my friends house warming. But! before I go, it is very important that I have dinner first. For the past week I have run into these problems where I go out and get stuck where I haven't eaten dinner then I'm forced to have something that I shouldn't. So! Dinner, Maybe chiken, probably chicken. So that means I should take out some chicken from the freezer to thaw for the day. And there I go! That means I have a free exchange to have a small glass of wine at my friends house. Awesome!
See that actually wasn't so hard. I feel like I can follow this well, and have a really good day. I hope nothing goes wrong! We'll see. I'll post tomorrow to tell you how it goes. Good Luck Me!

Sorry bout that.
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 197.0
Weight Loss: 5.2 lbs
Yes, I know. Where the hell have I been! Well lets see,
1. Its hard to go and write a post everyday because I'm not always by a computer, some days the only time I get on the computer is late at night, and I don't want to write a post then.
2. I am so busy with school! This is my second to last semester, and the pressure is on, there is so much work, and not enough time in the world to do it.
3. I messed up last week and last weekend, I ate food that was totally off track. I didn't want to write it in the blog because I would feel bad.
So you're probably thinking, "Whats with all the excuses Shelby! Just get back into it!"
Well at least I'm where I was last week. All I really want to do is lose the 2 pounds per week. I feel like when you start your weight loss, all you want is to see the pounds just drop off, you want results and you want them now! But if I follow the goal of losing the 2 pounds per week, I will be at my goal weight just before my birthday, which makes me happy. Just slow and steady, no plateaus, no falling off the wagon like I just did.
I probably haven't stuck with my goals very well. I definitely haven't been posting much, I have been cheating myself saying that one thing is just as good as another which it probably isn't. I haven't gone to the gym once! And I haven't gone into Herbal Magic everyday! Hmmm, I think I'm just upset because it isn't going as fast as I wanted it to. Also, my friends aren't very good at learning when I say no, it means no! No to the drinks, no to the snacks, no to going out for sushi, for pizza, for chicken wings. Ugh! It would just be easier if I was a shut in, had no friends and no life. Then when I'm all nice and skinny, I would be like "Hello World!" haha. But life can't be that easy. Why do the best things have to be so hard! ugh!
Alright, enough complaining. I just had a really good lunch, good meaning good for me. But it was kinda tasty too haha. I'm going to post the recipe because I think everyone should make these. I've started a new page where I will post all my new recipes that I come by. As I go along I will post new tips and tricks that I think will help me through this challenge.
Since Herbal Magic is closed tomorrow, I will weigh myself on my scale around noonish to see if I'm on the right trick to lose my 2 pounds per week! just 0.8 more to go.
