Weight/Diet update

Ironically when I'm at college/uni I eat way healthier than I do at home (I live with my uncle, his wife and 4 kids). Maybe it's because I'm too frugal to spend my money on mindless snacking sprees at college. At home, snacks overflow the pantry and it's incredibly tempting when everything is just so damn delicious and I have nothing else to do.

So.... back to updating you guys on my weight. At college, during the last few weeks (about 4), I was able lose the pounds and drop from 140 to 133lb. This is without regular exercise (hardly any) and just by eating less and resisting the scrumptious ice cream and dessert area of the cafeteria.
Believe me when I say that it took an incredibly long time (almost a whole semester to be exact) for me not to feel obliged to eat everything in sight just because it's part of what I paid for.

Currently, I weigh 138 pounds..... I feel ashamed, in the space of one week and 4 days, I've put on 5 pounds and it sucks. I've really let myself down in terms of what I eat. I'm working on it. Thank God they actually buy fruit now so when I feel the urge to snack I'll reach for a bag of grapes rather than a pack of oreos.

Nevertheless, I'm proud to say that I've been working out every other day. I run for about 30/40mins, do squat and ab exercises and it feels great. I've really been pushing myself in that aspect, but I really need to pull up my socks with my diet if I want to see any major results.

My goal for this summer is to lose 15pounds. I don't think its too far fetched, I'll have until August to reach my target weight so I'll look like a brand new person when school starts again. I'd be really content to lose even just 10 pounds for the long term. I basically don't want to weigh more than 128pounds again.
My thighs seriously kill my self-esteem.

Work it with Youtube!

Hey Guys,

it's been a while. Again, I know, I'm sorry.

But but but, I have good news! :)

Firstly,
my diet has really improved. Well that is, my eating habits. These days I don't overeat anymore. I'm beginning to learn how to control my erratic appetite and hunger. I'm getting there, bear with me.

Secondly,
I officially have weight loss buddy. And it's a guy mind you, but we're totally helping each other and it's been really good so far because we motivate each other when we feel like eating everything we see and scold each other when we haven't worked out for the day. By August 1st, I should lose 10 pounds. So basically goal weight is 125pounds *Fingers crossed*

Thirdly,
I LOOOOVE this Youtube fitness channel called Blogilates! The instructors name is Cassie and she's just amazing! Believe you me, I really hate working out, I never have the motivation for it. But, she's the only one that can make me endure a whole workout and keep up with her monthly workout plans just because she's so motivational! I mean, just look at her! She's got an amazing body to aspire for and a great personality to keep you coming back to her workouts everyday.
For those of you out there looking for at-home workouts, I really suggest you give her a try!

P.S.: She also has a diet/food channel called Blogilates TV

Now some motivational thinspo... Enjoy :)

*makes a mental note*

cos seriously, i cant take the "you've added weight" remarks and jokes anymore - from friends and family, even random people

And on that note, you have reached the end of this post and I hope you guys continue to be strong :) xx

Good day!

So today was a good day... obviously as you can tell. I worked out at the gym today on the leg exercise machine thing (I think it's called an elliptical?) after which I felt EPIC! I actually felt light and I was surprised I even lasted the full 30mins with no stopping. I'm proud of myself, it's quite an achievement for me :) The fact I was doing that murderous hill training aswell just puts the icing on the cake :)

Weigh-in is tomorrow... I wonder how I'll do. Even if I don't lose at the moment it's ok because at least I'm actually managing my binging habits really well these days. (I really want to lose though!!)

From tomorrow on I'm on a liquid diet- I'm not shoving anything solid down my throat -.-

Stats:
666 calories (Food)
315 calories burned (Exercise) over 30mins
Net: 351 calories

Today's thinspo is dedicated to shoulders, neck and back :) I find slender necks especially alluring and sexy

AWESOME!!! ^^

I haven't lost control by the way I just like the picture; her back is awesome

Exams are over!!

Wohooooooo! I'm  finished, finito, fin, fertig, färdiga... D-O-N-E!!!

So psychology went well, I ought to get an A but biology wasn't that great really. I don't think I failed (C) but I don't think I done so good that I got an A. I was pretty terrified throughout the exam. I hate biology exams. They are so unpredictable :/
Oh well, gives me more of a reason to fast AND pray. I need an A so badlyyyyy. I don't want to disappoint everyone, they've witnessed me working so hard and it would be total humiliation if I don't get an A or a B :(

Anyway, enough of that. So as usual, I haven't gained a pound but I feel fatter. Probably because I haven't been to the gym at college since I've been revising instead. Ah well, will start again on Tuesday. But it's sooo long away.... I've got an idea though; if I go to bed earlier, I can wake up earlier and therefore walk to college just as I walked home from college today- it felt good. It takes around 30mins to walk to college, which is alright I guess but I just have to be bothered to wake up early, that's all.

I got twitter guys! Follow me if you want :) https://twitter.com/#!/MindYourOwn_Biz

I got a new goal - 125pounds by February 8th (my bday- yay!) I'm currently 131pounds, if I push myself I can even make it to 122-4pounds :) I definitely need to be positive :)

Awesome day :)

Really pleased with myself for today guys. Basically cutting a long story short; I didn't binge today AT ALL. Consumed 886 calories which is alright really because I burned of 882 them (BIG GRIN). Got a lot of walking, rollerskating, trampolining and running today :) I feel 'light' :) Hopefully I will continue rollerskating 5 times a week as I've found that it burns LOADS of calories :) Unfortunately I'm still at 59kg -_- All I need is patience now to start seeing results because I definitely am putting effort into exercising everyday!

In a very happy mood today, thank God! :) So Christmas and New Years holiday officially start tomorrow, it was the last day today. Going to chillax now with a movie and some tea. Need to wake up bright and early to start tackling my homework + coursework + revision. Exams on 10th and 11th January!!! And we come back on the 3rd, I REPEAT; the 3rd!!!! WTF :(

Funny how I put this up when I didn't not eat today lol

Stay strong guys :)
