I didn't do everything I wanted to do today. I'm still putting off going to the grocery store, partly because I get so tired walking to the market, doing my shopping, and then walking home with it. I don't have a car here in Dubai, so with the heat it isn't always easy to manage it. I am hoping that as time goes by that it gets easier as I lose weight and get stronger physically. I also loathe the fact that people are always staring at me or saying things they shouldn't to me. I think part of that is that I am white, and in the area of the city I am in there aren't as many white people. But also, people here think they can just say whatever they want to anyone. About two months ago, I was shopping in the market and a stranger walked up to me and just flat out asked my why I was so fat and if I had a disease. People ask me stupid questions like that all the time here. I don't think I've had so many rude comments said to me in such a short span of time since middle school. I definitely was not prepared for it when I came here, and it never gets any easier. I hope that one day, people will see me as the person that I am instead of a spectacle.

I also did not complete my exercise for today. I don't really have an excuse for that. I should have done it, but I just didn't have any energy to complete it. To help me combat the lazy blues I made a motivation wall. If I can figure out how to post a picture on this thing I will put it up. I have high hopes for it. I put it in front of my workout space, which also happens to be on my closet, so I will have no choice but to look at it everyday. I put up some meaningful quotes and a collage of all the reasons I want to lose weight. I have some high hopes for that wall and for myself. I hope it pays off. :)

I did stay under my calorie allotment today, though. I still need to adjust my intakes a little as far as the type of calories I am eating, and when I do that, I'll be in good shape.

So I've been watching this show... Extreme Weight Loss with Chris and Heidi Powell. Some of the people on that show are absolutely amazing. These people are losing nearly 50% of their original body weight in 1 year. To me that's kind of crazy. Obviously it's doable... very hard... but doable. For me, I don't think it would be possible for me to dedicate 4 hours a day to cardio 6 days a week and eating around 1500 calories everyday. I feel like I would implode on myself from pure exhaustion. I know that I went well over my calories yesterday. I really need my fiance to stop bringing home so much food for dinner. I understand that he wants to make sure that we have food for other meals, but if it is here, chances are I will eat it. So hopefully I can get him to stop doing that for me. Also I'm still adjusting to a meatless diet. I am almost full on vegetarian these days. I think I've only eaten meat 2 or 3 times this past month. So that is new too. My plan is to try to eat more beans and legumes for more protein in my diet, try to cook with less fat and cook more often, and exercise at lease 10 minutes everyday. I am going to try to stick to 1 hour of cardio 4 days a week, an every other day sort of thing, and do some type of strength training on the days in between. That's gonna be the hardest part. Getting up and moving doesn't seem to be too much of an issue, but trying to do squats and pushups and crunches is much harder. We'll see how it goes. I really want to stay motivated this time. Wish me luck :)
