Last week I was 218. Today I stepped on this scale and what does it say.... 225lbs a GAIN of 7 POUNDS!!!<br />
<br />
There is no way in the world I gained 7 pounds. None watsoever. I have been doing the same thing everyday for weeks. The only difference was I had pizza hut and soda over the weekend but that does not constitute a 7 pound weight gain. So I decided to test my scale. I have 2 5lbs weights which together total 10pds. I put these on my scale and it said it weighs 15.2 lbs. How does 10pd weights weigh 15 pounds.<br />
<br />
Based on this I have come to the conclusion that my scale is wrong. Which sucks cause I just bought it like a month or two. I checked some reviews and a majority of them said it was inaccurate. I guess now I have to go out and buy a new scale.Lady Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00511969842928673505noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567709804984929126.post-53864127787210437272012-04-03T23:18:00.000-04:002012-04-03T23:18:18.514-04:00RFSC Week 1 Check In/ Week 2 GoalsLittle on the late side posting this but here we go<br />

I was doing the Summer Chick Challenge but I fell off towards the end. Took a lil break from the weight loss thing. I realized I wasnt as focused on it like I used to be. There was just to much other stuff I was focusing on. Also I noticed that I hardly blogged about anything. I guess I figured if there was nothing weight related going on then there was no point in posting. <br />
<br />
But now my head is in the right place. Im not just going to use this blog for my weight loss efforts but also about what is going on in my day to day life. But to the subject at hand. The Ready for Summer Challenge runs from March 26th - June 3rd. This is perfect for me cause I have a whole lot of stuff coming up in the summer that I want to look for. These are my goals:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">-Weight Loss:</span> By the end of this challenge I would like to lose 10% of my body weight. I will do the official measurements on Monday and calculate what the 10% will be.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">-NSV(Non-Scale Victory):</span> I would like to drop one or two dress/pants sizes. I currently wear a size 18/20 jeans. At the end of this challenge I would like to get down to a 14/16. I also want to cut down on my TV watching and read 5 new books<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">-Exercise:</span> This will be the challenge for me. I would like to log at 250 minutes (4 hours) of exercise a week. Also by the end of this challenge I would like to be able to run a full mile without stopping<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">-Nutrition:</span> This is a toughy cause I do have alot of bad habits as far as food goes. I would like to cut back on my soda and fast food intake. Also investigate this clean eating thing. I will also write down everything I eat and stay within 1300-1500 calories.<br />
<br />
Look forward to this challenge and hope that it will allow me to have an awesome summer =D<br />

<br />
I kinda been MIA for pretty much all of February. That was not suppose to had happen but I guess it just slipped my mind to update my blog. But that is in the past and Im looking to the future.<br />
<br />
So since we are in lent I have decided to give up:<br />
-soda<br />
-20 pounds<br />
-procrastination/laziness<br />
<br />
The soda thing was easy for me throughout the work week but then the weekend comes around. I always have a soda on the weekend and my cravings hit big time. I found myself needing a sorta of sweet substitute for my soda so now I have been drinking sweet tea.<br />
<br />
I went to the gym for the first time since last year. I only did 30 minutes on the treadmill but it felt really good to be doing something active. I do plan on going back, maybe staying for a hour next time.<br />
<br />
While Im doing the Spring Chick Challenge, I have also decided to take on another challenge that I am doing for myself (I got the idea from somebody elses blog). I am doing a 100 days to Memorial Day challenge, which to some people is the unofficial start to summer. I have alot of stuff planned for this summer so looking good is essential. Im tired of spending summer after summer not being able to find anything cute to wear like all my friends. I always picture myself being in a two piece of the beach so I plan on making that dream a reality this year. I started this challenge on February 18th so right now Im on Day 9 of 100.<br />
<br />
This is a long post obviously since Ive been gone for so long. Im glad to be back and I hope that I will be blogging a lil more regularly.Lady Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00511969842928673505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567709804984929126.post-45291001921312872512012-02-05T23:44:00.000-05:002012-02-23T01:08:49.375-05:00Spring Chick Update Week 5<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Five weeks into the challenge and where do I stand?

<br />
I'm back on my blogging tip. I took a week off to get my head straight. To many things going on inside their that I wasn't really committed to my healthy lifestyle change. I was being real lazy and not caring about what I was eating and didn't feel like exercising at all. I'm a full in week into my 30s and I just realized that I wasn't doing anything I was suppose to be doing this year. I was doing nothing to work towards my goals. I was definitely not on the path of finding my happy.<br />
<br />
Now I have my head on straight. I'm ready to get this weight off. I don't want Spring/Summer to come around and I'm not able to find anything to cute to wear.<br />
<br />
So fasten your seat belts. Ready for this roller-coaster ride known as Healthy Living =)Lady Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00511969842928673505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567709804984929126.post-31741847212274552122012-01-21T13:37:00.000-05:002012-01-21T13:37:34.513-05:00Happy Birthday To Me!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://caccioppoli.com/Animated%20gifs/Birthday%20(happy)/0107.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://caccioppoli.com/Animated%20gifs/Birthday%20(happy)/0107.gif" width="400" /></a><a href="http://caccioppoli.com/Animated%20gifs/Birthday%20(happy)/0005.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://caccioppoli.com/Animated%20gifs/Birthday%20(happy)/0005.gif" /></a></div><br />

<br />
217lbs (loss of 1 pound)<br />
<br />
Entering the week with a loss is always a good thing. Im already pressing forward with my goals. I did my DCC Hardbody Bootcamp DVD and my legs are still sore. Hate lunges man!!Lady Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00511969842928673505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567709804984929126.post-91344863673871113352012-01-08T23:24:00.000-05:002012-01-08T23:24:27.519-05:00SCC Week 1 Check-In & Week 2 Goals<b><u>Week 2 Goals</u></b><br />
<ul><li>Develop a weekly schedule</li>
<li>Plan out my meals/exercise</li>
<li> Do 100 crunches & 100 pushups a day</li>
<li> Blog more often</li>
<li>Go to the gym</li>
</ul><br />
<b><u>Week 1 Goals Review</u></b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Take my vitamins everyday<span style="color: red;"><b>- Vitamins taken 4 out of 7 days</b></span></li>
<li>Do 100 crunches everyday- <b><span style="color: red;">Only did it 1 day</span></b></li>
<li>Exercise at least 30 minutes 4x a week- <b><span style="color: red;">Only did this 2 days</span></b></li>
<li>Log my meals on WW- <b><span style="color: red;">Did this two days.</span></b></li>
<li>Be in bed by 12AM- <b><span style="color: red;">Major Fail!!</span></b></li>
</ul><div>So Week 1 was, I would say unsuccessful. I continued to do my bad habits by drinking soda and eating fast food for lunch and sometimes dinner. Then once I get home Im to lazy to do any type of exercise. The good thing about all this is that I have learned from the mistakes I made and Im prepared to change them around. Gonna kick Week 2 in the butt!!!</div>Lady Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00511969842928673505noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567709804984929126.post-17478305191949377862012-01-05T00:23:00.000-05:002012-01-05T00:23:36.290-05:00Down But Not Out!So its the 4th day of the year, 3rd day of the challenge, and the 2nd day of me being on it and at this point I can say: I am failing miserably. I didnt exercise at all yesterday unless u count pulling a grocery cart up the stairs. I had McDonalds and Chipotle(which is my kryptonite btw) and I didnt go to bed until like 2 in the morning. Yesterday was a big fat F.<br />
<br />
Today I think I did a lil bit better. I had a ginger ale and some Cheddar and Sour Cream chips-<span style="color: red;"><b>BAD!!.</b></span> However for dinner I had salmon and some spinach. I think the plus of the day was I was sitting in my bed on my computer, like I do every nite after work and I kept thinking I should be exercising. Finally I got my ass out the bed, popped in my DCC Yoga tape and I spent the 25 minutes doing it. Was stopping and going but I did it. Also did my crunches.<br />
<br />
This healthy lifestyle thing is hard. I have to keep telling myself that it took years for me to put this weight on so its gonna take some time to get it off. Just gotta take it one day at a time. Im sure I will find a groove to this and have some positive results to report.<br />
<br />
