Jelly Bean's Weightloss Journal

Jelly Bean · May 7th, 2009, 00:54 AM

Starting my own journal as well

I think it'll be very motivating to have my caloric intake and exercise up for public viewing! And high time I got off my bum and lose my remaining pregnancy plus the excess pre-pregnancy weight as well.

I'll be updating every day and new, harder fitness guidelines will be undertaken every two weeks.

1) 1500 calories a day maximum.

2) 10 glasses of water a day minimum.

3) 180 minutes of treadmill a week minimum.

Current stats:

Day 1 - May 7th, 2009

- 1600 calories

- 10 glasses of water

- 30 minutes of treadmill

Feel cranky and headachy at the moment. I think I have to eat better within my calorie limit. I did have a lot of fruit today. If I hadn't had some chocolate candies I wouldn't have gone 100 calories over my limit...

I love the first day of dieting after eating a lot of junk for a long time, because your face immediately loses its puffiness and you feel much better all around.

Maybe in about a week I'll feel slim enough to put on my new cute cargo pants...

BTW for those of you who are wondering how I'm planning to lose weight eating 1500 calories a day I'm breastfeeding...

Day 2 - May 8th, 2009

- 1900 calories

- 6 glasses of water

- 0 minutes of treadmill

Upset with myself...I spent the whole day out so wasn't able to work out. DH didn't want to eat in a food court tonight (was planning on having Subway or something filling and low-calorie) so at the restaurant we ended up in, the only low-cal meal on the menu was a pathetic-looking chicken salad. And I was starving. So I ended up having a rice dish.

Lessons learned today: get up earlier to work out. Eat more frequently during the day so you don't make bad choices while you're raving with hunger.

Thankfully tomorrow is another day. Plus I'm pleased that even though I did go off the diet and exercise today, I kept it somewhat under control. It's scary to think of all those endless days pregnant and right after the birth where I would eat all day long and not think about calories...who knows how many I ingested every day, it must've been around 3000.

Day 3 - May 9th, 2009

Just a complete mess.

I think I ate in the range of 2000-2500 calories today. DH only wanted to go to a steakhouse, and from there on it was a downward spiral. However, two interesting things: I made healthy (albeit high-calorie) choices at dinner, not gorging myself at all, and after his greasy rib platter, DH complained about feeling bloated and bad. We actually went to a supermarket and did a whole refrigerator makeover...buying low-fat versions of everything, whole wheat carbs, light protein, light canned soups, fresh fruit and vegetables, etcetera. I really recommend that anyone who wants to start a weightloss regime do this first, it's incredibly motivating. This is the first and only time I've seen DH so committed to eating better and it's really heartening for my sake.

So I'm starting in earnest tomorrow, May 10th. No more DH-caused setbacks.

I bought a pair of size 12 (I'm a 14 right now) pants from Dockers, adorable black cropped ones, and I am fitting into them in a couple of weeks, goddamit!!
