Day Seven
What can I say?? I'm extremely happy :D I haven't weighed myself yet, & I'm so nervous! Today I only had two shakes (breakfast & lunch). I'm still not sure what to have for dinner lol.
Of course I did my 60mins of cardio today. It's getting soo much easier.
With the perfect music, I feel I get through the 30mins(x2) so fast. I love it (: & you'd be shocked to hear that from me if you know me lol :P
I noticed that my midsection is getting smaller. It doesnt stick out soo much like it used to lol YAY (:
I'm never going to give up. Yes I will have my bad days, but I won't ever let that get in the way (: Please, anyone who is in the same situation as me, I encourage you to make a change. Believe me, you'll feel so much better. Don't let more months or even years go by like I did.
You can/will always have my support. We can change our lives together!

The weekend is over
Oh what a battle it was to stay focused!
Saturday I caved!! I couldnt help eating the "so delicious" Mac&cheese from KFC!
OMG I'm truely FAT lmao.. BUT I exercised it off. I still feel so guilty though.
I won't ever do that again. It suuucks ):
Sunday I barely ate... Until dinner that is (;
I was looking for low fat oven baked chicken leg recipes. Since that's all the chicken we had left in the freezer.
Almost all the recipes I was interested in, I didnt have all the ingredients. Soo.. Who do I go to for help? No other than my mom of course lol. We were thinking of what to season the chicken with. & I'm very picky lol. She came up with making mustard chicken (made with yellow mustard, lemon juice, garlic salt & pepper). It tasted really good. She had made mustard chicken, pan fried..with skin, a few years ago. I liked it then. But I looveed this one way better. No skin. No added oil (: I also had plain (no seasoning/salt) steamed brocolli ;P
Is mustard chicken even healthy?? Lol

So far...
I've been doing 60 minutes of cardio a day (30mins at 10am, another 30 at 3pm). I had originally planned to do another 30mins at 9pm. But these past days I've been falling asleep & never had the chance to do the last 30mins. BUT my question is, would that be too much? Or is 60mins a day enough? I'm also trying to get 30mins of strength training in everyday.
As for my diet...
It's a mess ;P I still don't have my meals planned for breakfast, lunch & dinner + the snacks in between.
Yesterday my mom had gotten me Equate Ultra Weight Loss Shakes, in French Vanilla (favorite), Creamy Milk Chocolate & Strawberries 'n Cream.
I had one as a snack yesterday & another with my dinner (which was a piece of skinless chicken breast).
Now, today I had one for breakfast. These shakes really taste good. French Vanilla of course being my absolute favorite. Creamy Milk Chocolate tasted great, but has 10 more calories + 10mg more of sodium. & lastly, Strawberries 'n Cream... It's not THAT bad. Just not my favorite of all three lol.
I'm going to have another for a snack, or maybe just as my dinner lol.
I want to know what amount of calories, sodium, etc. is considered healthy.
I'm looking for healthy recipes for the 3 meals.
If anyone would like to send me recipes, I'd appreciate it (:
Also if anyone has suggestions as to what snacks I can have in between meals :D
My calorie restiction is 1500.
PLEASE leave any positive feedback, suggestions, recipes, etc.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY (:

First Post: Introduction
My name is Diana. I'm 18 years old.
I've been struggling with my weight my whole life. I am 150+lbs overweight. It is time for me to make a change.
I've considered weight loss surgery, & to be honest, I still am. I will try my hardest to lose this weight by exercising & proper dieting.
I've started my "journey" Tuesday, March 23, 2010.
I'll blog through out this journey. I'll post what products I am using, recipes & exercise routines. I hope to encourage other overweight teens to start making a change. We can do this together (: This is our life, our health.
If you have any questions or advise, feel free to leave a comment. I'll reply as soon as possible (:
