2 Steps Forward, 2 Steps Back

-
Yesterday's/Today's Results
The scale reads: ? lbs. I was too absorbed with my final to weigh myself. Yay, I know my priorities. Goal: 127 lbs.

The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 3180 steps, 0.803 mi., 131.9 calories

Other aerobic activities:
  • Exercising my jaw to eat every last morsel of Chuy's endless nacho bar :(!!!


I totally feel like I'm taking 2 steps forward and 2 steps back with this endeavor. I got all gung-ho about losing more weight only to lose steam by day one. I guess panic mode had set in because I have so many final assessments of sorts for school due. I welcomed the opportunity to go grub with Chris and our friends, Brian and Melissa, so I can get out of the apartment. Talk about cabin fever.

I need to start better sleeping habits, too. I guess that's why I don't feel so motivated to prance about and keep up with moving about or eating right.

Eh, since I'm still running on adrenaline, I better skedaddle and try to clock in 30 minutes of something. Hopefully, I'll be taking a step in the right direction tomorrow.

    Haha that video looks strange. Don't feel too bad about getting out of the apartment. I know when I'm locked indoors, I go absolutely nuts and find any excuse just to get out.

    Sleep habits always suffer a bit during school huh? Haha the only time I've ever been well rested was when I got outta school. I can no longer run on 3 hours of sleep anymore.

Yesterday's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 137 lbs. The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 3375 steps, 0.852 mi., 140 calories (Lies again - the pedometer reset with my notice) Other aerobic activities: Snoring :( My ma has one. My future mother-in-law has one. According to one website, "Neoprene belt helps shed inches and fat around the waist. Lose weight naturally around the waistline." So far, no offense to them, I haven't seen it work for either one of them. I honestly never worn belts. Even at a slimmer physique, I didn't care or need to wear belts. To this day, I love wearing baggy jeans, but I never sag. My hope is even if I lose weight, I wouldn't need to go purchasing new baggy jeans. What fitness accessories can help (I do know there are no one-stop-cure-alls out there) lose the weight "naturally?" So far I have ankle weights and small weighted gloves.

Last Month's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 127 lbs. I can't believe 8 weeks has passed already! Look what I have accomplished within that time: I've earned the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award ! See, I earned myself some golden stars! I could've technically had 7 shiny, golden badges of accomplishment, but I had forgotten to keep track of my steps while I was in Southern CA (The first week of the challenge). I think I actually did more walking during that trip compared to the last 7 weeks of this endeavor. I guess it was silly of me to initiate the challenge before going on the trip. Regardless, I'm content with the results because: I was able to reach my goal. I was dedicated to this endeavor and a positive result came of it. I got the award electronically . I wasn't going to dish out 6 buckos and some change to get the paper one with stickers and a badge. There were many stressful periods during the weeks, but I walked off most of t...
