Neph Fit! Let's Menecise!
Hi Gang! I'm so happy this forum was created. I had a fitness journal I kept on my Meneblog. It worked well but it wasn't earning me dem lovely goldies so I stopped updating it. The last one was posted in May 2013 [sweat] Not updating it made me loose sight of the whole healthy eating thing for a while, but I'm back at it now and I hope to do better than ever! Stats Height: 5'1" Start Weight: 189.3 Current Weight: 137.6 Start BMI: 35.7 Current BMI: 26 Age: 40 Fitness Level: Round-ish. XD Other: due to an old sports injury in my left knee I can't do some exercises. |

My boss called in sick and I pulled a 9 hour shift with one break which was basically me cramming in a tuna sub as fast as I could into my mouth before I was begged to come back. When I got home I indulged in a few glasses of wine and allowed myself two mini cookies. I guess as a reward to myself for not killing anyone that day. XD Breakfast: Coffee 250 (yes I drink a lot of coffee naughty me XD) Lunch: Tuna sub with bread hollowed and half the tuna 270 Dinner: sensible pasta portion 330 Snack: cookies 150 >.< tsk tsk also naughty Wine: 450 ...yeah I'm bad bad girl.

So much so that regular breaks are a thing of the past. Friday was another where only coffee/tea were able to be had.

Breakfast/lunch: Coffee - 370 (6 cups) I really need to cut down on the sugary creamy coffee/tea Dinner: 8 oz steak and baked tatter 1045 Snack: mini strudel 150 Total Calories:1565 ( I over ate today but I also did a lot of cardio and hard physical labor at work) Today's focus: Cardio/work walk Saturday A lazy Saturday with friends at a charity event.

And a short 10 min ab routine. |
Is it okay to post? o.O
I adore Cassey from blogilates! She is so motivating. Her Carly Rae Jepson squat challenge is a killer. One of my goals is to be able to go through the whole thing without stopping or curling up in a ball. x.x |
It's Absolutely ok to post. See wut I did thur? XD OH I know. She's so sweet and happy and makes the hard work fun. I love her attitude towards staying fit. And her videos for beginners aren't like she's talking down to you. It like she really cares.
Week 2 It's time for my first weeks weigh in after getting back on to it. (I've been a lazy butt since may) I'm a little nervous to see. Previous week: 156.3 This week:151.6 loss: 4.7 OH HELL YEAH! NEPH IS ON HER WAY BABY! *bounces around* If I keep it up I'll be looking extra good at Halloween. XD I should make a goal for myself this week of cutting down the sugar and cream in my coffee.

About 1/3 plate white rice with sweet n' sour pork and 1 chick skewer. Then lot's of steamed veggies and 1 veggie egg roll. As hard as it was I only gave myself a half portion of the sweet n' sour chicken. But still I'm sure it added up quickly at desert when I had butter rum icecream.

Week 4
THA FOK! At this point I don't really know where I messed up so bad this week but I did. I'm kinda annoyed at myself and the scale. I keep going back and forth between 150-160 no matter how hard I try. I think I'm going to reduce my calorie intake from 1300 to 1000. I have a Halloween social to go to this weekend and a convention the following one.

That's all the calories you eat in a day? [:o] Why? Aren't you hungry?
|
I'm not average height so I don't need average calories. I'm a shorty. That was last week though I didn't put up much from this week. I normaly eat between 1000-1300 cals. It's just normal for me.
|
I don't even count my calories. I feel that puts too much pressure to eat less, and then I just end up hungry. Just eat food with high fiber and protein, and make sure to have at least two high protein snacks. Increase your fruit and veggie intake, and cook food. Like real food. No boxed stuff. Too much sodium. Here's something super important: Eat breakfast! It is super important, because you'll be less likely to binge on stuff you wouldn't normally. I like to eat eggs for breakfast. Make a nice egg sammich with all of the fillings. You could add ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, all on a nice wheat english muffin. The protein from the eggs and the fiber from the muffin help you feel fuller, longer. I'm the same height as you, but I just get hungry. I probably have a problem, lol. There are times that I don't eat, because I'm not hungry. Yes, I have lost weight while I've been sick, because I don't eat. Not a good thing. If you keep your body fueled, you will actually burn more calories! Fueled with protein and fiber, that is. Also, watch your sugar intake. Sugar just turns into fat. That's why I'm trying so hard to cut mine. All in all, you can do it! I recommend Eat This, Not That! and Cook This, Not! for suggestions in picking out better food. |
OMG I've been SO bad with this Again. I could use the excuse that the holidays are coming and the change in weather really took it out on me this year. I was either to sick or exhausted from walking in the snow for the first week or two of winter. I'm pretty sure I'm back up where I don't want to be. But my pant still fit right now so maybe it's not as bad as I think I'll be. The only way to know is to get on the scale and weigh myself.
Back to the grind! @P: I know your probably right about eating breakfast and less sugar. It's just not as simple as that. Current weight: 158.8 (boourns) Monday *ponders* what the heck did I eat monday O.O breakfast: Eggnog 150(sounds ridiculous I know) Bagel 250 Lunch: Noodles 190 Dinner: Chicken and rice 450 Snack: baked tatter chips 120 chocolate milk 150 total: 1310 Focus: Bed with period cramps Tuesday Breakfast: Juice** 100 + Oatmeal 130 Lunch: Garden salad 150 Dinner: Small portion of pasta 250 (my mom looked at me funny when I only put on about 1/4 of what everyone else was having) Snacks: Ice cream 465 (Bad Nephy bad bad! when a snack is twice what you ate at dinner there is a problem...but it was sooo gooood[drool]) Total: 1095 Focus: Some fun Cardio (twerking XD), Walked to the store twice cuz I forgot something, and 10 min ab routine ** My juices, like my iced teas are homemade. No extra sugars or preservatives used. To sweeten I sometimes use 100% maple syrup because it's better for you than white processed sugar. And unlike most honey sold in stores it's not fake corn syrups. |
I know it's not simple, I struggle with it too! Check out my journal, you can read about my struggle. I have an addiction to sugar, that I am fighting. Sodium is another thing to watch out for [not because for weight, but because for overall health]. Instant noodles are SUPER high in sodium. I like to use the noodles; but not the broth, cause that's where the sodium lies. I haven't been able to work out because of my foot injury. I'm so mad at myself because of how it happened. With my picky son, I have to eat what he doesn't! That's where most of my weight gain came from. Ughughugh. Go Neph! Fighting! |
I've never put a full pack of the flavor maker in my life. I use a little under half and then use the rest for soup or in rice at a latter date. I don't know how anyone could like such salty things.
|
Last week started off good, but quickly fizzled out quick. The girls at work have been bringing in Christmas goodies and I feel like to would be rude not to sample them. Is that strange? I did do a lot of walking though so lucky for me I didn't gain any more than I ate. The one thing I do do well was eating in the morning. Even though I felt bloated for the first few hours of my day. I didn't really like it. >.< I'm going to try and keep it up.

Twerking as exercise made me giggle |
OMG! I forgot about this completely! >.< How do I do that? *So lazy is how* XD
|
I forgot about mine as well. xD I just updated two days ago, after I killed myself with an exercise routine. Dx |
Hehe perhaps the spring weather helped to remind us? Our snow is just beginning to melt. :D
|
Alright lets go! I was going to wait till Monday to start keeping track better but then I was like...WHY? My aim is 1300 Cals and some good exercise... AND NO MORE SNACKING BEFORE BED! (You'd think that part would be easy)
Thursday: Breakfast - Coffee, toast, egg = 220 |
Good luck Nephie! As a fellow shortie, I shall too be trying to get back into shape! One thing I want to point out as I see you were stressing about your weight from week to week; your weight fluctuates by 5 pounds all the time. When I was real big into working out, I tried to weigh myself around the same time every day. Much luck though, you were off to a great start! Even being a tiny bean, remember to feed your body when and how much it wants! As you get more into working out, your body will want more and more food.
The workout routine I got was from an early morning infomercial. I used Barry's Bootcamp, check it out. It was intense, but it worked @.@ |
"Barry's Bootcamp" Made me giggle. XD
|
Yeah. It can be a terrible name XD
|
Nephster I think we should get back on the ball with this exercise and getting fit. :) We can be workout pals. I'm about to have boo-coo baby weight to lose and I know I do better with a buddy. :} We could at least try and see if it works for us. Maybe keep each other motivated. |
