Negative intake!

Yesterday's fast was successful.  Today, I indulged a little and ate a breakfast of about 450 calories.  I had chicken mini's from Chick-fil-a and a regular coke.  Not too bad if I do say so myself.  And then dinner is about about 240 calories.  But after working out I'm at -60 calories.  Yay! I love negative intake days!!!

My workout for today consisted of 3 different things.  P90X, DDR, and playing in the rain.  Yes, that's right, I went outside and played in the rain.  Burned about 50 calories, but that's better than nothing.  It was a lot of fun and it made me happy.

I only made it through half of a p90x video.  It was a cardio one.  Each video burns about 600 calories.  So I only burned 300 there.  But then I did the ab video and that burned 200 more.  After that was some DDR (dance dance revolution).  The video game has a workout mode so you can set how many calories you want to burn and it tells you when you've reached your goal.  It's really cool!

I've decided that since I had a few people say they wanted to be fasting buddies that it would be easier to get it figured out over email.  If you're interested in a fasting buddy email me at thinornot@gmail.com.  It would be great to have tons of fasting buddies!  I hope everyone is having a fabulous day.  I'll post my weigh-in on Friday.

I will be thin

 

  

  

 

Just another manic Monday

Today my goal is to consume 600 calories or less. Hopefully less, but we'll see how that goes. Tomorrow I will fast. I'm actually looking forward to it since I screwed up this weekend.

Also, I don't know if you pay attention to my daily intake tab, but I'm not going to be updating that tab on the weekends because that's usually when I screw up.

So I know this isn't about me, but my mom and I have been working on losing weight together because she's taking me on a cruise at the end of the year, or the beginning of the next.  She's going the weight watchers route.  She's lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks.  I'm so excited for her!  Back-story on my mom.  She used to be REALLY skinny, but then I asked her to quit smoking (because I wanted her to be healthy and I wanted to keep her around as long as possible because my mom is one of my best friends).  Once she quit smoking she pretty much controlled her cravings by food and she gained over 70 pounds.  I'm really happy for her weight loss. :) 

On a side note, the homework I was telling you about, that had to be done by 6pm last night...well the teacher was grading us on it and going to put us all in groups of 5 to work together for the rest of the semester based on how we did on the homework.  (I'm studying business so everything we do is in groups).  My friend and I were upset because we really wanted to be together.  We had a 16.68% chance (yes I like math) of being together and we actually got placed in the same group!  This makes me really happy!  Yesterday, was such a fabulous day :)

Just the basics...

Today is a very slow day, so I decided to grace the page with some thinspo....

You ARE beautiful!

I wanted to step aside from food, calories, exercise, etc. for just a moment.  I know that all of us have a weight goal in mind that we want to achieve.  Whether its 100 or 150 pounds, we all have a goal.  I just wanted to say to all of you that you are beautiful regardless of how much you weigh.  Even if you aren't at the weight you want to be, you are still beautiful and don't let anyone tell you differently, including yourself.  I know that all of us have traits we don't like about ourselves, but don't let that take over your thoughts.  I am going to post pictures of women that aren't necessarily the skinniest women, but they are beautiful.

Yummy Goodness

Just a little bit of information for everyone.  I bought cans of fruit from Walmart.  Peaches, pineapple, Fruit Cocktail, etc.  The fruit is packed in water and there is no sugar added.  Depending on the fruit, there is about 50 calories per serving!  I had a whole can for lunch today and only had 175 calories.

Also, it is sweetened with Splenda!! I just wanted to share this with all of you.  I'll probably do this every so often.  Later on this weekend, I'll add a recipe for my the salad that I made.  It's great! I hope everyone is having a great Friday!!!

Change of Pace

Today ended up not being a fasting day.  I was doing so well and then at around 3 my boss asked me if I wanted to go to a meeting and I said yes.  Well on the way to the meeting she told me the reason she invited me to come along is because there was going to be cake and she didn't want me to miss out.  I wish she would have told me beforehand, but then there was no way I could just sit there and not eat any with out people asking questions.  So reluctantly I had the piece of cake. 

I added a new tab.  I added pictures taken when I was at 161.  I know, they're gross.  I hope they don't hurt your stomach.  BUT, my plan is to add new pictures every 10 to 15 pounds I lose.  Hopefully, it happens quickly.  I certainly do not like those pictures.  Maybe one day I can be someones thinspiration, but until then, I have posted some pictures of others below.
