Day one of the Autumn burn is done as of last night! I assume due to time zones some of us are starting later. PUSH! GO! YOU GOT THIS!! I hope you guys are doing your best. I almost slacked off (First day. Can you believe it?) because I was doing a lot of running around but I refused to mess it up. I'm going cling to this attitude for the next 12 weeks I'm gonna do it! The burn was sooo bad during my arms workout HAHA but I felt good knowing I pushed through. Today will be the kickboxing along with cardio. Mmmmm gotta get those muscles warm and ready.

Dude! I'm so mad at myself, I caved last night and ate a medium fry from McDonald's BUT I was way under my calories like barely halfway and that's including the french fries, I Want to try and make it to at least 2.000 calories daily because my RDI is 2,800 and with my workout I'm also burning about 600. I haven't felt sick or anything so, I guess it's mostly fat I'm burning. Who knows, even the doc says I'm doing alright for now so we'll see!

I don't want to lose too much weight too fast, I want to stay at about 1 to 2 pounds a week; if there is more great but I would rather take it slow. To folks who may not have known, Try not to lose too much too fast, this actually worsens the appearance of loose/sagging skin take your time so your body and dermis can adjust to your weight loss. It took to grow, give it time to shrink.

SO! Last night was another late workout. For some reason, I sweat way harder than I usually do. I mean yes sweat runs down the usual places, but last night, it was everywhere, it was dripping and splashing and running down my arms, even my shins were sweaty its so gross. (LOL) Today is my rest day, yay! but I'm still going to make my way out of the house do a little walking and get some errands done. I felt a little lazy last night so I pushed myself again, it's so nice knowing I can so "I don't want to do this" and yet get up anyway. I hope you all are having an easier time than me, if not i hope it continues anyway because your health is worth it. Thank you to every who has provided me with such support so far.

That said, I'm going to try and start keeping track of my calories. I mean I do count my calories and make sure I stay below my RDI which is 2800 but I don't actually record it the way I should so I'm going to try to use the calorie counter here on Fatsecret, see if that helps me keep up with it. I hope so, but you know hoe that sometimes goes.

Ok, so I've gained 2 pounds and some ounces this week, which made me want to cry, but then I realized that my tummy wasn't sitting out as much as it had the last time I paid attention to it, and the waist band I use during workouts to help me sweat more didn't fit as well as it did last week which prompted me to adjust it down. So I decided to pull out the measuring tape. So, even though I've gained two pounds I lost about 3/4 of an inch from both my waist and thighs. HOLY CRAP! XD Then I realized " well yeah, derp you use 3 or 10 pound weights during your workouts." haha. So I'm not so depressed but I think I'm going to change my cardio workout because I want to focus on losing the fat right now.

Weigh-in: 314.4 lb

lost so far: 12.6 lb

still to go: 124.4 lb

Diet followed reasonably well

Today was a little lazy, I didn't do my workout all day but I think I'm gonna get up and do it like soon as I'm done with this post. I have tried way too many times to lose weight, and way too many times I was my worst enemy. I don't want to look at myself and think that I Failed because I didn't put in the effort, I want to do this and get this done and stay focused. I'm at the point where I'm starting to have issues with Will, I am motivated and I can do it but the attitude is starting to wain, and the mean little voices in my head are starting to whisper. in my ear telling me that I can't do it so I might as well give up. I saw an old friend from high school ( which is what I think triggered it all) She was looking so good weight wise, she had gained a few pounds but was well within a healthy weight, wearing a beautiful floor-length knitted dress, the patterns were gorgeous. I couldn't help but think that I would never pull anything like that off without feeling like crap. It was such a downer for me to think about it and it made me realize how much I was defeating myself, so when I came home I did some reflecting and have decided to work on it.

Edit: OK! So, I did the workout! After a long day of running around WOW I am burning everywhere! like, my back, my elbows(LOL) my knees it's a good workout burn though. I am so proud of myself, I was thinking " I don't feel like doing the workout today so eff it." and when I had that thought is when I got up and got to business. I'm so happy I was able to push myself.
