Becky Boo’s Weightloss for LIFE

Good morning, Buddies. Well, I have been utilizing my gym membership. I said I was going to go every other day but I went ahead and went again yesterday after work cause I was feeling guilty about eating some things at the Halloween party we had for the residents. Well, I went right after work and I did that cross climber like it was MY J O B! I felt like a million bucks, like I could have gone on FOREVER! I got my sweat on and I realized, I WAS in the ZONE! I havent felt this way or that way, I guess it is, in a LONG time It is so so so much easier to move this body at this weight than at 278 I can assure u of that! I am going back again tonight. Not sure if I will make it there tomorrow cause I work and then have a party but who know, I may squeeze it in I am loving it and I am going to get my dollars worth I weighed in today at 183. I am not stressing it cause I know I didnt gain and I know since I will be keeping up with this exericse regimen and only getting stringer and being able to go for longer, I will get down to my goal eventually. I am tired of counting and I really dont think I am going to do it anymore. We will see, I know I have said it before… I am getting my hair trimmed today and have some errands and chores to do around my house. I know we NEED rain but I am seriously going bonkers with it all and so r my doggies. It is getting out of control with like 15 days straight of rain, maybe more than that? Grrr. It is supposed to stop tonight. I am so glad I got a rain jacket last week! Ok, I need to read some blogs and get a move on.

Good evening, Buddies I have been so hungry today. I know that trying to stop smoking can make one hungry but that is more like boredom hunger. I have been ravishing ALL day long! It didnt matter what I put in my mouth today, I needed more food. And since I believe in eating when hungry, I am eating. Right now it is low fat cottage cheese and reduced fat wheat thins. I have been doing well in keeping the cigarettes to a minimum. I hav had 5-6 today. So, I had 5 Monday, I think 7 yesterday and 5 or 6 today=17 max or so. Usually from Mon-Wednesday I woul dhave smoked closer to 60 cigarettes! So I say I am doing pretty well with it I am going to the gym when Jeff gets off work. I will do the climber cross climber thing again probably for the 33 minutes I did it last time then I will most likely do the treadmill the rest of the time. I am going to try for 6 miles total tonight but I don’t wanna push it. I am going to pace myself better this time. Well, I hope this CRAZY hunger goes away soon. At least I am counting calories this week so it is in some sort of check but I am DEF going over today. Have a good night!

Good day Buddies Well, I got the gym emmbership yesterday after work. I went straight there so I had NO more time to think about it… , I then went to Aldis and got some produce and tilapia and things and went home and made a side dish for after working out so Jeff and I xdidnt have to wait til 10 pm to eat… See, he doesnt get off til after six so I waited for him to go to the gym. I did the cross climber thing—eee for 33 minutes (said I burnt close to 300 calories and that I went almost 3 miles) and then I did the treadmill for 1 mile waiting for Jeff to get done. I don’t wanna over do it right away. I had a good sweat going so I am pleased with my first day there Then we had tilapia and noodles with tons of veggies for dinner. Sooo good. U never know what meat/fish will be like from Aldis so I was pleasantly PLEASED with it! I am proud to report that I only smoked 5 cigarettes all fo yesterday. My pack was obnly short 4 ciggs thismorning tho but I SWEAR I counted 5 times I smoked yesterday… I have only smoked 1.5 ciggs today so far and it is after noon. I have had a few more calories today tho than yesterday by this time. I woke up feeling really good this morning and even got to wrk 10-15 minutes early I went today and got more Kashi meals cause they are less than 300 calories and I add a little garlic and pepper, maybe a little salt sometimes too, and they are pretty tasty. I also got some more fruit leather and some crackers. blah blah blah… I hope u r all doing well and making EXCELLENT choices XoXoXo

Good afternoon, Buddies. Well, the closer that Jeff and I get and the further our relatinoship progresses, the more we talk about our overall health and the way we both live. It is no secret that I go out often and drink alot of beer. This leads to excessive cigarette smoking and has most definitely contributed to me being in the 180s for months. So my boyfriend, many of you know, has MS. He doesn’t take his medicine, eventho he lies and says he does. He smokes almost 2 packs of ciggs a day and often eats like SHIT. I try to be a good influence on him and in the summer we grilled alot and I snuck veggies into his diet. Since it has become colder, less grilling and we have been eating more takeout type foods. This STOPS now. also, we are both working on quitting smoking. It is almost 3 pm and I have had 3 ciggs. I am going to cut down more and more til I don’t smoke at all anymore. Just as in the weightloss, I am not going to put an unbearable pressure on myself because I want to be successful and I know I will. I want him to be as healthy as possible because I am pretty confident he is the one. I am also FINALLY joining a gym this afternoon. I am not going to class and I am going to stop after work and sign up at the gym that eh goes to. I need to tone up this body that has lost almost 100 punds and I want to encourage Jeff to go more. I am confident he will go more if I go with him. so it is a win win situation I am also trying new recipes for us so he will eat more like me. Last time I made grilled chicken and steak, cut up liek fajita meat, cut up avocados, tomato, green onion, bacon and served it all together. It was so delicious. Everything bad in it was in moderation, of course. He said it was the best food I had made for him yet. the recipe was on Rachel Ray’s foodnetwork page. I am back to counting calories today after a week off. I hope to see a loss this Friday or even just the 181 from two Fridays ago would be cool since I was up this past week. Holly and I have challenged eachother to get through these sticky patches and are motivating eachother to reach our goals! I am excited because I would love to see that 177 by december 15, my 30th birthday I hope u r all doing well and making GREAT choices. XoXoXo

Quick update: Even after a day full of eating and drinking coffee, water and diet soda, including Taco Bell for lunch, the scale is down TWO pounds just from this morning. That is how BLOATED I was this morning! YAY ! Thanks for all of your support ! XoXoXo

Good Morning, Buddies. I fell off the doing GREAT wagon Wednesday night… I got on the scale this morning: 186. No way. I did not POSSIBLY gain 5 pounds in one week. I know I am bloated and all but I DEF didn’t lose. So I will be back to another week of calorie counting Monday. One on, one off, one on, one off… I hope u all have a great day! Ooo, and Nancy, in regards to your comment on my last blog: can u believe it has almost been a year on Buddyslim for me? And no, I have not, nor has he, told the other that we LOVE them. Of course we already did as friends, but we are def getting there. It just gets better everyday XoXoXo

Hey Buddies! I am almost through a week of no counting of calories and I think I am doing really well with it. I got a ton of firewood yesterday from a co worker and Jeff let me borrow his truck and he helped me unload it which was a workout in and of itself He used my car yesterday and he took it to the carwash and washed it inside and out! How sweet, I think! I am thinking I will lose this week. Maybe just a pound but with the no counting thing, I will take it. Shoot, I will be cook with a maintain, for sure ! I am getting ready to hop in the bath and head out to do a little birthday celebrating with one of my bffs, Mandy. I am feeling really good this week and am finding myself in a truly GREAT place ~~~ XoXoXo

Good afternoon Buddies I was off today. Spent the evening grilling and playing cards with Jeff. We had fun, eventhough right before he went to sleep he accidentally called me by his ex girlfriend’s name… HaHaHa. I have called him by my ex’s name before too so I forgive him Awkward… I think I am not going to log calories at all this week. See again how I do. Lasttime I took a week off, I didnt lose but then I did the next week when I got back to it so I am going to try it again and see. One of my bff’s came over today and we went to lunch. I had a baked potato and side salad. I need to pack some food to take along with me to school too. I never made it to Aldis today so I will need to make sure I get there tomorrow after work or something. I am getting a bunch of firewood tomorrow from my co worker so I am driving Jeff’s truck to work. I am afraid it will break down on me… I HOPE not! I got a firewood storage thing-eee at Lowe’s the other night so I need Jeff to put it together for me tomorrow too. I LOV Ebuilding fires in my fireplace. I could only do it a little bit last winter cause it was 60 degrees most of December… Jeff and I had a talk about his HEALTH lastnight. He agrees that he needs to be taking better care of himself. He says sometimes that he feels really old. He mowed my grass lastnight while I put away summer things like hoses, watering cans, lawn chairs, etc. Then he went home and mowed his and said he just felt REALLY tired and old He is only 32! He needs to eat better, quit smoking, take blood pressure medicine, exercise and keep on his MS meds ALWAYS. He even brought it up so it is not like I harp on him or anything. I just drop little hints sometimes. I read somewhere he should be eating more baked/grilled fish, green veggies and things for his MS. Of course EVERYONE benefits from those foods but he REALLY needs to get on it. Anyway… I went through my closet today with my friend cause she wanted to see all of my new clothes. She said it is inspiring her to get back on the weightloss wagon. She is the one in the pic of me getting ready for the wedding. She has struggled with her weight for years too and she has put probably 50 pounds on in the last 1-2 years. I want to see her succeed and feel good so I REALLY hope she decides to stick with it. I know how hard it is so I am rooting for her Well, I need to get going to find some food to take with me to school. I hope u r all doing well and making good choices ~~~ XoXoXo

Good afternoon, Buddies. Well, I thought about quitting smoking yesterday… I only smoked 3 ciggs all day while at work for 8 hours and that included the 30 minute drive to work too. But u know what that lead to? One hungry hippo Yesterday I called myself piggy but it was more like I had an impossible to satisfy hunger… I ate some candy, Mexican food, ice cream… I dont know what else but it couldn’t have been good. I spent my evening with Jeff running errands and watching movies. We watched both Zach and Miri make a Porno (funny and I LOVE Seth Rogen) and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (sort of funny and sort of not…). I got a good night’s sleep and the day is beautiful. Sunny, finally! I needed it cause it has been so gloomy and dreary here I was afraid my old seasonal depression was going to kick in… Kind of did but not like the old days. I am getting a lot of work done today at work and now moving on to reading and homework after this. I am right back on track today with calories. I am filling myself with fruit fruit and more fruit! I am off work tomorrow and glad. I have been working most ondays and taking Tuesday off so it makes for a LONG day with school til 10 pm. It will eb nice to just have school and errands tomorrow. I should get my midterm back tomorrow night and I am seriously counting on a 100%, people Well, I am going to read some blogs and find out how all of you r doing today! I REALLY hope well~~~XoXoXo
