The 12 Week Challenge

I can not believe I haven't posted in 8 days. I was at my grandparents for three of those days, but still.

It's impossible to fast or eat like an anorextic at their house, but I still tried my best to eat healthy. I ate fairly well, stayed under 1200 calories a day, but then there was the day I was leaving. We baked sugar cookies, blueberry muffins, and ate them. Okay not all of them. I had 1/2 a sugar cookie and 3 blueberry muffins. O.o

I thought for sure I would have gained weight, but I am now....duh duh duh duhhhh...270 lbs. So I've lost 9 lbs in 10 days. Uhmmm, not too bad.
----------------------------
Even so, I began a 12 week weight loss challenge today. This is what I wrote in my notebook:

I am beginning a 12 week weight loss challenge. I will stick, to this challenge. I will not drink soda on this challenge. I will not eat fast food on this challenge. I will ride my bike 3 times a week on this challenge. I will walk for 30 minutes a day on this challenge. I will stay under 1400 calories a day on this challenge. I will keep my house clean on this challenge. I will save up my money on this challenge. I will not drink alcohol on this challenge. I will do all my homework on this challenge. And I will not swear on this challenge.

---------------------------

I wrote that, because my mother reads my notebook. I plan on staying wayyy under 1400 calories. Here's Day 1's plan:

Monday 4-25-11 Day 1:

Breakfast: 1 Homemade Blueberry Muffin and 1 Tbsp of Light Strawberry Cream Cheese-235 Calories

Snack: Hot Green Tea and 1 Apple-91 Calories

Lunch: 1 4” Veggie Delight on Wheat Bread w/ No Cheese Subway-154 Calories

Snack: 4 Mini Cadbury Eggs-160 Calories

Dinner: Tilapia, Salad, Light Italian Dressing, 1 Baked Potato, and 1 Tbsp of Light Sour Cream-268 Calories

Exercise: 30 Minutes of Bike Riding and 30 Minutes of Walking- -495 Calories

BMR: -2180 Calories

Total: -1767 Calories

--------------------------

I know that's kind of a lot of calories, but my mum watches me now. She's like a hawk. She makes sure I eat and she's wary when I go to the restroom afterwards. As long as I lose 5 lbs a week, I will be happy.

Oh yeah, Monday is now my official weigh in day.

My goal is to be 265lbs one week from now. Any less and I will fast for 24 hours.

Wait that actually seems like a good idea. Stick to this 12 week challenge, plan on losing 5 lbs a week, and then every week I don't lose 5 lbs, fast for 24 hours. Yay, I have a good plan now. If I stick to the scheduled weight loss, then I should be 210 lbs when this challenge is over. That would be cool. Lose 60 pounds in 3 months. I'd still be a pig, but I'd be a smaller pig and I'd be at least a size 14.

Yes a size 14 is huge, but I am a size 18 right now and at 291 lbs, I was a size 20.

School will be out at the end of this challenge; it will be the middle of summer vacation. I'm actually really excited, because I know I can stick to this and I can't wait until the end of this challenge. I can't wait for the end of this week even. I can't wait to be under 200 lbs!

Well, I'm gonna go eat an apple and down a water bottle.

Adios, Sayonara, Ciao, Bye bye. :)
