After a week, I'm back!!! 


I just didn't feel motivated enough to blog, and today was the weight in day and once again I have only lost 1 pound... So I have no clue what is going on, because I am following the diet strictly and am excersising 5 days a week so who knows?? I think I have hit the famous plateau. I now have 24 pounds to go which doesn't sound too bad after I already lost 36, but it's making me disappointed and discouraged. 

What if I keep losing 1 pounds per week? It's gonna take FOREVER for me to reach my goal!! ughh this sucks! 

But I'm not giving up, not just yet, I am halfway there and will continue to try my best no matter what and no matter how long it will take! I've been overweight for probably more than 15 years so what's a few months gonna do? 

Guys if you ever feel like giving up DON'T DO IT! Yes I am very disappointed because once again I am not doing so great with the scale, but I try to keep in mind that I was a size 16 and am now a size 13 and went from wearing xlarge tops to mediums \o/ so I will work extra hard the following week and hope for the best!

I am very disappointed! I only lost 1 lb. and I feel like I worked so hard this week. (I cheated on the abs workout this week but still!!!) I even started running 2 days ago, which I will be doing so 3x a week and as I get stronger I will try running every day, to make it part of my life. But it is getting harder and harder to get rid of the last pounds, and if I lose 1 lb per week for my last 25 lbs it's gonna take FOREVER!!!! But oh well, I'm not giving up yet I guess I will keep doing my thing and hopefully will reach my goal soon! 

The good news is that last time I tried running, which was about 4 months ago, I could only run 2 blocks non-stop and felt like I was having an asthma attack (no I don't have asthma, but I had a lot of trouble breathing) and NOW the first day I tried running, I ran 8 blocks non-stop, and the second time I was able to run 11 blocks non-stop, so I am very excited about that and I actually enjoyed running =) Well it's more like jogging but I still feel like I've accomplished something huge! And the breathing is not as bad but I sound like a horse when I'm running (I gotta work on my breathing and running skills) 

Another great thing that happened this week is that I finally cleaned out my closet!! Most of the clothes on the bed are too big \o/ so I will be donating them. The ones on the floor just look too worn out to be donated so I will be throwing them away. I can't wait to lose the last 25 lbs so I can go shopping for my new body =) 







After the weight loss...

You spend all those months on a diet, your precious time working out and when you finally reach your goal you realize that you look great, but what about the saggy skin??

Yesterday I was looking at the mirror after taking a shower to see the differences I see so far after I have lost about 34 lbs. I noticed that in some areas of my body like my arm, inner thighs, and my lower abdomen seems to have extra skin that should't be there?!!

Would it go away after working out for a long time or will I be a 140 lbs girl with saggy skin for the rest of my life, leaving no choice but to get plastic surgery?? I am a little freaked out thinking about these things, but one thing I'll know for sure is that I will be healthier.

I did a few researches over this topic and I learned that the skin will go back faster depending on the age of the person, and if you are also exercising as well as having a good balanced diet. I'm still freaked out by the thought of having lose skin after dreaming and working my butt off to have the perfect body.  My trainer did say that it will go back with time but I'm still freaked out..

I guess I will only be able to tell in a few more months after I reach my goal.

It took me a little while to write the friday weigh in(I know it's sunday), I had so many things to get done over this weekend that I barely had time for the internet. =( 

The OK news is that I lost 1 lb last week, which is ok because I did cheat last weekend. So now I am down to 167 lbs \o/ But next week I am done playing around, every week that I cheat for one day it sets me back and it takes longer to reach my goal. So this coming week no more playing around!

I did eat Sushi on saturday night BUT I asked my trainer, and even though he didn't respond, I'm pretty sure that was a yes! =) 

Today I went hiking with a friend to burn some of the yummy sushi I had last night, and it was great being outside and we got up to the top with lots of breathtaking views. (I posted pictures here) The sun was too hot though so we weren't able to get to the top top but it was still a great walk. 

I should be getting my new diet either tonight or tomorrow, so when I do I will post it. I hope everyone is having a great labor day weekend =)
