I had a really good day today.  I went to yoga twice. YAY!!!  That is two hours.  I will be going to the gym tomorrow after a really long time.  I get really bad headaches, so whenever I run…it triggers them.  Since I have been practicing yoga for two months now, my headaches have decreased drastically, so I’m hoping I can add cardio into execise routine.  I want to start of slow.  So I’m thinking of doing the eliptical for 20 mins and the jogging on the treadmill for 20 mins.  I may or may not take a cardio class.  So I’m really excited and hopeful.  I would love to be able to run again, without getting a headache. 

Another update:  I had my weekly weigh in today.  I did not lose any weight…but I did not gain either.  I am very happy about that since I did not stick to my diet last week.  I think this week will be great!! I feel it.

 I do have a question though.  My mom tries to be supportive of my efforts but is not very good at it.  She constantly tries to reccomend Liposuction.  Now there is nothing wrong with that, but its not something that I want.  I want to lose weight the regular healthy way, so I know it will stay off.  I have explained this to her, but she does not get it.  She discourages my efforts, unknowingly.  How do you guys deal with your loved ones being difficult?  How do you explain to them that thier input is discouraging?  I have tried to many times…but maybe I’m missing something.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

had indian junk food again. don’t know wats up with me this week.

i had crackers and this fried indian corn bread.  they are my weakness and i had them today. i did not overeat but i did not stick to my diet. that has always been my problem and then i don’t loose weight. okay…i think i need to definately add variety to this low carb vegetarian diet, otherwise  don’t see myself sticking to it. will check the site now.  i was going to do it this weekend but i don’t think i should wait.

by the way i’m falling in love with this site. probably one  of the few places where i can talk about this unashamed.

 Well i was not able to workout or go to yoga yesterday at all.  My body was really soar from the day before, and I wanted to take it a little easy.  However i ate really healthy, so it balanced out i guess. Plan to go to the gym today.  I think i need to start running at least three times a week.  Also will try to add seven hours of working out a week to my schedule. I read some where that is the one the best and fastest ways to loose weight (as long as your eating healthy as well). 

I am getting bored of my meals too.  i think i will need to look up some more vegetarian meals that i can take for lunch. (let me know if you have any suggestions please?) 

most of my weight is in my belly.  i can’t decide whether i should start working out my abbs now or after i loose some weight?  i hear that if you start when you still havn’t lost the weight, your belly looks bigger becuz the muscle builds underneath it. is any of that true?

i stuck to my diet today.  also went to yoga for an hour and a half. first time.  it was really good. i was able to handle the class, that surprised me.  i love yoga. it works out my body in a really gentle way and releases all the tension. in the end i feel like i’m on top of the world.

 i also notice that i eat less after yoga. and i have to eat someting light at least two hours before i go to yoga. so overall it forces me to eat healthy.  i think i’ll be going at least four times a week now.  i absolutely love it.

YAY

had some indian sweets with my tea this morning…dont thnk that was  a good idea. okay will try to be better the rest of the day.

okay..so i lost a pound. which is not bad. i wasn’t able to stick to the diet but i did not overeat. had some candy and pita. just really hard taking carbs out comletely. but it does seem to work.

Okay….So today I will begin again. I was doing a modified, vegetarian version of the medifast diet (lasted two weeks) and then I just couldn’t do it anymore.  It just cuts out everything, which is not good, but its quick.  So I feel like I need to see some results, fast. Today I will begin again and I will see this diet through the end (of at least this year).   Thats only two months, I should be able to do it.  No more cheating.
