The 12 Week Challenge Day 2: Success

Today was really easy at school and home, but I am a bit hungry now. However, I refuse to eat after 6 pm, so I'm fine. :)

In other news, I finished my exercise at school, which is awesome. Walking to and from classes and walking 2 miles during physical education really helps to burn the calories fast. Also, we played kick ball, but I'm not counting that, because it seems like it wouldn't burn much. In total I walked 50 minutes, which I know isn't a whole lot, but it's a start. I just wish I had my treadmill already.

I ordered it over a week ago and it still isn't here. :/

School was okay today. I usually dread it with every fibre of my being, but not today, for whatever reason. I was fairly tired, but other than that...

Well, I have some english homework to get to.

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. :)

Fast - Day 2: Success

My fast lasted exactly 49 hours and 11 minutes, before I had some tilapia and salad. Not too bad for me ending a fast. My goal is to eat healthy food this week, to burn off 500+ calories every day, and to stay under 1000 calories. I know this isn't really normal for me, but someone commented on me not eating. I don't want anyone to think I'm converting to my old habits. I have to seem normal. Just a normal teenaged girl who want to lose weight in a healthy non-anorexic way. Well, I need to go to sleep, it's midnight.

My Day 2 intake was:
                            2 oz of ice tea : 0 calories
                            Shaved Ice : 0 calories
                            Some of My Suplements : 2 calories
                            4 oz of Grilled Tilapia : 90 calories
                            Salad w/ vinegar : 51 calories

My Day 2 exercise was non-existant. :(

Total calories : 143

Fast - Day 1: Success

Day 1 of my fast was great and I'm thinking being 279 lbs was temporary-not-real weight, because my scale says that I'm 272 lbs this morning. On any of my fasts, the most I lost in one day was 4 lbs, not 7 lbs. Either way though, I'm excited to be close to the 260's again. The only reason being that in the 260's, I'm closer to the 250's and I haven't been there in a long time.

It's been 39 hours and 30 minutes since my fast started and I'm not hungry yet. :0 This is awesome and the fact that I have a cold keeps my family from thinking I'm deliberately not eating. At the very least, I will fast for 48 hours, but I really want to keep going. I feel amazing when I'm fasting.

My Day 1 intake was:
                            33.8 oz of Water : 0 calories
                            2 Slimquick Packets : 0 calories
                            1.5 Propel Zero's : 0 calories
                            My Suplements : 32 calories

My Day 1 exercise was:
                            50 crunches : -10 calories
                            20 minutes of walking : -103 calories
                            5 minutes of yoga (Don't ask) : -26 calories

Total calories : -107!!

Once Again, the Plan is Changing

I don't know why I keep changing my plan, but I am, so whatever. The old plan was to eat under 1200 calories every day this week, but I realized that eating normally was too difficult and made me feel like a complete failure.

Did you know I was 279 pounds a little over an hour ago? Just kill me now. How is that even possible. How can someone gain 6+ pounds in 4 days of normal eating? I ate under 1200 calories and exercised!

I don't ever want to be 280 pounds again, so that is why the plan is changing. I began a fast at 7:00 pm and I am 1 hour and 50 minutes in. I really hope this fast lasts for at LEAST the weekend. The only plus I get for eating normally for 4 days, is that my metabolism is most likely back to normal.
Well, anyways, remember how I said I play World of Warcraft? It turns out it's a plus for weight loss. It distracts me from eating. :D I sorta freaked out when I accidently fed my character though. I feel stupid, it's not like she'll get fat.

Ana Boot camp is no more...For now...

Today was one of the worst days of my life. The 4 hours of star testing was grueling. Plus, I forgot to have breakfast. You try doing 4 hours of difficult testing without having food for 32ish hours. It was horrible. I've decided to put off on doing the ABC, at least for a little while.

Because I know I'm most likely going to eat semi normally (Under 1200 calories) for a week, I've been thinking about fasting afterwards. I'm not sure how long it would last, but I would aim for at least a week. Being the pig I am, in 1 week of fasting, I could lose 7-18 pounds. That would be great, because I'm anxious to be under 260. So it's settled, eat semi normally this week and then fast for 1-4 weeks.

I have more star testing tomorrow and its 11 pm, so I'm gonna go catch some Z's.

Z...z...z...

Please God, don't let me have a gain tomorrow. Please, please, please!

Ana Boot Camp: Day 8 - 400 calories (NOT REALLY)

So here's the deal, Star Testing begins tomorrow and I need to eat on those days. If I don't, than my brain will be too sleepy, hehehe. What I did was switch the fasting day (Day : 10) with today (Day : 8), so that I can eat breakfast on all of the testing days.

I fasted successfully today and cleaned my room, but other than that, I didn't really do much. I played World of Warcraft (Yes I am that much of a geek) for maybe 40 minutes and I made my mom breakfast. I made her a cheese and onion omelet. I know what your thinking, "Isn't making food when you’re fasting just asking for disaster?" Well it's not. I really enjoy cooking and am going to start doing it more often.

Food:
        1 Grape Propel Zero : 0 calories
        1 Glass of Shaved Ice : 0 calories
        My Supplements : 11 calories ( I didn't take them all.) :(
       
Exercise:
        35 minutes of cleaning my room : -178 calories
       
Total calories : -167!
