Day Six

Today went alright. I did go to the gym, but there is still a lot of people trying at their resolutions, so it was very crowded and no treadmills were open. Instead of running like I usually would I went on the elliptical for 25 minutes and burned about 200 calories. I also stayed under calories and drank plenty of water, but my list was puny today, so I don't feel super accomplished.

List:
     Work out
     Drink lotsa water
     Eat well-ish
     Make kale chips
     Laundry
     Buy presents

Meals:
     Breakfast: Bacon and scrambled eggs
     Lunch: Kale chips and Weight Watchers shrimp and marinara pasta
     Dinner: Chicken and rice soup
     Dessert: Chocolate covered almonds and walnuts

Work out: 25 min on elliptical

Weight: 150.5

Day Five

Today went great! I did everything on my extra long list, plus some. I also stayed under calories-barely, but still under.

I have so far lost exactly 4 pounds, a 2.6% change, which is great considering I haven't worked out and haven't been restricting what I eat too much. However, my body has for a long time been right around 145-150, so now that I am back there I will probably stop losing weight unless I try harder. Now that I am feeling much better I am planning on working out though, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I am thinking that I want to get down to around 140 and maintain that weight while continuing to work out and get toned.

List:
     Eat well-ish
     Drinks lotsa water
     Wash/clean out car
     Tidy bathroom/living room/bedroom/kitchen/shoes and coats
     Paint with Tian

Meals:
     Breakfast: sleep
     Lunch: Turkey avocado sandwich on flat bread
     Dinner: Gluten free spaghetti with mild italian sausage
     Dessert: Weight Watchers chocolate cake (SUPER DELICIOUS)

Weight: 150

Day Four

Today didn't go well. Though I guess everybody needs an off day. I had an awesome time just sitting on my ass and watching an entire season of Sing Off with my mom. I did nothing on my list. I drank lots of water and didn't go over on calories though, so that's a plus. I don't really regret anything, but I definitely shouldn't let this happen too often; laziness has a way of sticking around.

List:
     Kaplan diagnostic
     Clean/wash car
     Wrap presents

Meals:
     Breakfast: Sausage and cuties
     Lunch: Weight Watchers pasta
     Dinner: Chicken, red potato, and carrots

Weight: 151.5
   

Day Three

Today went very well. I accomplished everything on my list, and I stayed under calories. I also think I am almost feeling well enough to start working out again. I am feeling much better about this resolution. I have kept myself busy and managed to actually get some work done every day. I haven't been eating super healthily, but I have been eating better than I did in the past and have stayed under calories. I have also lost 2.5 pounds so far this year, which is a 1.6% change. Maybe being productive and healthy isn't so bad after all. The thing I need to focus on now is drinking more water. I have been making an effort, but still don't drink the recommended amount I'm pretty sure, though I don't really track it to the mL.

List:
     Organize coats/shoes
     Tidy living room/vacuum
     See a movie
     Find present for Jose

Meals:
     Breakfast: Cinnamon Chex with almond milk
     Lunch: Beans and cheese
     Dinner: Burger
     Dessert: Frozen grapes

Weight: 151.5

Day Two

Once again, the sickness kept me from working out, but I did stay under calories!
However, I didn't do so well on my list today. I only just now cleaned the front room because I was too busy the rest of the day watching Lost Girl on Netflix. I also didn't fill out the rest of my application like planned because I can't figure out how to get my transcript in PDF, but I tried!

List:
     Eat well-ish
     Drink lotsa water
     Doctors appointment
     Clean living room
     application

Meals:
     Breakfast: Scrabbled eggs
     Lunch: Gluten free Mac&cheese and green grapes
     Dinner: Mild Italian sausage, snap peas, and spring mix salad
     Dessert: Frozen grapes and chocolate

Weight: 143.5

Day One

Today didn't go super well. I am sick, so I didn't workout at all. I also went over calories, though not by a lot. Had I worked out I would have been under calories. I figure eating is important to speed up my recovery. Yes, lets go with that. That's a thing.
I also didn't add much to my to-do list because I am so congested and miserable. I hate being forced to breath out of my mouth!

List:
     Drinks lotsa water
     Eat healthy-ish
     Clean bathroom/shower
     Buy measuring tape/cough drops

Meals:
     Breakfast: Scrambled eggs
     Lunch: Weight Watchers salisbury steak
     Dinner: Salad, chicken, and rice plus seconds

Weight: 154lbs

Bust: 39''
Waist: 30''
Hips: 37.5''

   

The Blog

This blog will be dedicated to me and my struggles towards achieving my new year's resolution, which is basically just to be better. My new year's resolution is to stop being lazy and to have some self control.

I am hoping to make a list every morning of what I want to accomplish that day and then do all of the things on that list. Everyday the list will include: workout, drink lots of water, eat wellish, and (when the semester starts up again) do homework . It may also include various other items such as laundry and clean my room.

I am hoping the result of this will be the gained habit of being a better human being than I am now, which honestly can't be too hard. I want to lose some weight, be healthier, and do better in school.

To keep track of all of this, every night I will post what my list for that day was with all finished tasks crossed out (like this), my weight, my workout, and my meals. I will also once a week, on Wednesdays, post my dimensions: chest, waist, and hips.
