Becky Boo’s Weightloss for LIFE

I don’t know why it is going up… But I am NOT happy about it

Hii Buddies! Well, while I have not been BAD this week, I don’t know if I have done “lose a pound good.” I went to the gym for the first time in a week and ran 5.2 miles lastnight and I am going back tonight to play catch up and plan to go tomorrow night too. I want to follow through with going tomorrow night too, I really do. That way I don’t have to go all weekend. I am trying to eat plenty of fiber this week and so far so good but it has yet to do what fiber is supposed to do if ya know what I mean! HaHa! Things are going great with Jeff and me and school and the semester are winding down. I have a big paper to do yet but I will get it done—I seem to work best under pressure so, whatever I hope u r all well and making good choices ~ XoXoXo (ooo, two days til one year here!)

Hi Buddies. I have not been running in a week (last Wednesday) but will be going tonight. I am doing fine with calroies so far this week. Been really busy and nadalot to say Hope u r all well. XoXoxo

Good Morning Well, I weighed in at 183 this morning. I knew it wouldn’t be a loss cause I woke up feeling VERY bloated. I am retaining water for sure. I didnt even try to put my rings on yet today. I have eaten sooo much this week and I am happy the scale said what it does. I have been so hungry with this running thing. My goal for next week—DRINK more WATER ! I also need to try and keep my calories a little further down next week. They were high, close to 2000 every day and one day over. I have just been so flippin hungry but if I can get back to more water during the day, maybe I won’t get so hungry? And TIRED! Running makes me so tired. I am stressing too about all I need to do for school as the semester comes to a close. I just have ZERO motivation to do it. Seriously. I have to redo a paper, do a few more, complete an entire research paper that I havent started yet (by 23rd of this month) and then two finals Dec 7. And maybe one more assignment, yep. Overwhelming to think about if you ask me. I guess it is grad school and I DID sign up for it… And I have straight A’s so far so I know I CAN do it, just do not WANNA do it Well, I am off today and drinking coffee then lunch with my friend and her kiddo, then vet with my lab and one of my cats then run then hang with Jeff. Work tomorrow and then dinner out with friends. Work again Sunday and off Monday… Pretty exciting stuff HaHa! Not really… I hope u all have a GREAT day and FANTASTIC weekend~~~XoXoXo

Good Evening, Buddies. Well, I ran over 5 miles again lastnight and, while I felt pretty good during and after (despite still being really stuffed up lastnight), I was soo soo soo hungry afterwards. I ate a TON yesterday too. Then, after eating EVERYTHING in sight after the run, I literally CRASHED before 9:30 lastnight. I couldn’t even barely lift my head. I mean, chomatose almost! I am taking the night off tonight cause my body is asking me too. I got over 3000 cals in yesterday and I think I needed EVERY single one of those calories, honestly. I was sooo hungry and I always say, if you are hungry, you should eat. So I did. Today I did well with food and still have dinner to eat. I weigh myself tomorrow. I think it will be a maintain of 181 but I am telling u what, my body is changing with this running thing. I know my waist is getting smaller. And my face is getting thinner. The scale is not showing major changes just yet but I can tell the difference. As I keep this running thing up, I KNOW I will be 3 pounds down by December 15th It is awesome doing the over 5 miles run thing cause it makes me feel so good (even tho so tired) and I can eat lotso glorious food ! I am not using livestrong anymore unless I have no clue how many calories something has but I am still logging ALL foods and drinks ingested and keeping track of my calories there. It is less stressful that way, I think. Having to get on the computer everytime I ate sometihng or logging an entire day and night at once was so tiring and driving me CRAZY… I am off work tomorrow cause I work the weekend. I plan to do a whole lot of nothing and then take one of my dogs and one of my cats to the vet in the afternoon. And will run in the evening. I hope u all have a good evening and Happy Friday

Morning to you, Buddies Well, I went straight home from work yesterday and got ready for the gym. I got my towel, water, dressed, stretched a little and grabbed headphones and MP3 player and was gone. I found my machine and got warmed up. I am still a little stuffed up and coughing but I am telling u, this 5.2 mile thing is gettign easier. It is going by faster and so I am not getting that bored feeling I expected to by now. I was so sweaty my hair was WET — and I felt so GREAT about it! I ate about 1000 cals during the day yesterday and tried to keep it healthy stuff so I had energy for the 5.2 mile run—and I did have the energy so I did well —then afterwards tho, I was so hungry that I ate a ton of Sushi to make sure I got my calories in since I depleted most of that 1000 from the daytime during my run. . Jeff helped me with that part! I got REALLY bad cramps in my feet and legs when I got home tho and I think it is because the only water I remembered to drinnk yesterday was the big water bottle I had during my run—BIG oopsie, I know. I made sure to drink water lastnt to hydrate myself more. I need to get back to more water, less coffee and diet soda. Especially since I am doing the running thing now. The scale was at 182 this morning, which I am good with, and that is with lotso salt yesterday (soy sauce with sushi and homemade french onion soup for lunch). I am TOTALLY expecting either a 180 or 181 reading Friday morning. When I see the 170’s, I don’t know what I will do. I told Holly, I just may cry! It has been since probably junior year of college that I have seen numbers in the 170 range. Speaking of weight… Jeff went to the doctor yesterday and his weight is at 240. It is actually a loss from the last time he was there, but at around 6 foot to 6′1″, he needs to lose about 40 pounds. I told him I am not making him anymore ckaes HaHa! I hope u all have a GREAT day

I know it is only Tuesday (O, wait! Hi EVERYONE!) but I am HAPPY to report that after a weekend of being off the entire weekend and going out and eating and all, the scale was down to 182 again this morning! YAY! It was still up at 184 Friday after a high reading of 190 during TOM last week so I was sooo stoked to see it going back down! I did well on calories yesterday and brought healthy food to eat during class lastnight. the lady who sits next to me even comented on my healthy food today I am doing it right also and WILL be going to the gym to run tonight. This is a promise I am KEEPING. For REAL this time cause I can breathe almost completely out of both nostrils so NO excuses! If I don’t see a loss Friday or the scale at LEAST back to 181, there will be a BIG problem… No there won’t, I will just have to do even BETTER next week, right? I am so excited that there is less than a month left of this semester—with one research paper, two finals and a handful of assignments yet to do, and also—just under five weeks to get this body down to 178 pounds! I WILL do it maybe I will take a pic of the scale when I get there… Happy Trails Buddies.

Hi all! Well, I didn’t run lastnight afterall. Jeff was supposed to get off work at 6 and we were going to go to the gym at 7 but he didnt end up getting home til 7:30 and by then he was REALLY tired and crabby so we didn’t go. I AM going tonight tho. I am only planning to go every other day anyways, so I am not mad at myself for not going but I will go two days in a row if I can and am able. So I will get back to it tonight Everyone have a GREAT Saturday

Happy Friday, Buddies Well, I went back to the gym lastnight and got over 5 miles in! I felt so great while I was doing it, keeping my breathing right and REALLY working up a sweat and drinking my water all the while. I make sure that I dont HOLD ON to the machines and keep my arms pumping, except every so often checking my heart rate. Then I got home and showered and I was BEAT! It is amazing how it makes me feel. I can’t believe I waited so long to get physical. The important thing is I have done it now and I am NOT looking back. This is my second full week and I am going back tonight with Jeff I see people at the gym who are in a place similar to me a year ago. I have this overwhelming urge to go up to them, to reach out, to tell them what I found. But then I don’t. people may get offended or think I am a whackadoo or bragging rather than relating to them. I will NEVER do it but i get this feeling like I MUST but then I just swallow it. I think to myself, “Ooo, please don’t let them give up on themselves, let her keep coming and working on herself and her health, please.” what if I would have given up? What if I would have said this is too much work, I am not worth it? For the bajillionth time? Thank goodness I didn’t cause I am aCOMPLETELY different person now. I weighed in today at 182 with TOM in full force. I feel good about this considering the highest the scale showed me this week was 190… I mean, an 8 pound spread? Seriously? I am SOOO getting to my 3 pound loss goal of 178 by December 15 so I can say, on my 30th birthday, that I have LOST 100 pounds I WILL keep this running thing up and I WILL do IT ! ! ! I have this weekend off so it is a REAL Friday for me and this makes me sooo HAPPY. I am feeling almost all better, with just some coughing and nose blowing here and there, the sun is shining, it is in the 70s and will eb ALL weekend and I am LOVING life — and I hope u r all too! Enjoy your weekend and make good choices ~~~ XoXoXo
