Day 10 for Kayla.....

So today is day 10 and I feel pretty good. I haven’t exercised in a couple of days because mother nature is still visiting. For the first time I was doubling over in pain because of cramps. I feel like I have been making the right eating choices though. I eat lots of baby spinach, mushrooms, whole grains, chicken, fruits, veggies and WATER! I am not eating any of the shit I used to eat; no boxed food, fast food, soda, sugary sweets etc. I can feel my body getting healthier. I weighed myself this morning, because I don’t feel bloated or anything… I’ve lost 10 pounds so far! I am now down to 235!!! Sarah and I got hungry girl healthy cookbooks, and we are going to go shopping for the recipes. Everything looks so tasty but is so healthy!

We have decided to plan our weekly meals every Sunday so we know our snacks and meals, this way we wont over snack or eat. My body is doing so wonderful! I have more energy, regular (and solid) bowl movements, clear urine and just an overall feeling of euphoria! I believe that I am on my way to a better life and think that I will most certainly make my goal of 20-25 pounds by the end of March. Today I am going to exercise with the Biggest Loser DVD. Hopefully I will get my treadmill in the next couple weeks, I’m borrowing my grandmothers but my dad has to deliver it from Gladstone.

I don’t know if I will write every day or not, it might be once or twice a week. School is going to get pretty hectic fast! Wish me luck!

My favorite foods right now are:
*Baby Spinich leaves: So yummy for wraps and salads
*Mushrooms!
*Bananas
*Apples
*Sun dried turkey deli meat
*Jell-O 60 calorie, sugar free pudding snacks
*Blue bunny no sugar added fudge lites: only 45 calories per delicious chocolate ice cream bar! Great for a sweet craving and guilt free!

Good Job Kayla! you and Gabby are having much more luck than me...I hate everyday and wish I could just lay in bed and sleep so I don't eat. I am down 8 and 1/2lbs but that is still not enough to make me happy. UGH!

yeah, Kayla! keep up the good work, your seeing improvements and you are feeling it too. That's really good early on. Congrats on the 10lbs that's really good, that's 10lbs a day :)I saw you like bananas...and your going to start working out. I heard that a great snack to eat right before you work out is banana's. Maybe that will help...idk just a tip.

Kayla's Goals

So I am starting out at 245, and have been heavy all my life. My family has a history of being overweight on top of high blood pressure, diabetes etc. I want to change while I am still young.

My overall goal is 100 pounds by January 2010.

My physical goals: to be able to walk upstairs without being out of breath, to be able to hike/climb a mountain and to be able to jog a mile in under 10 minutes.

My other goals: be able to shop at normal clothing stores, not feel self-conscious when walking into a room, and to have more self-confidence.

My biggest problems: eating while bored, soda, fast food, not liking vegetables and not exercising.

I'm stealing from Gabby and creating quarterly goals.

January through the end of March:

1. Learn to love veggies! I've never been one to like veggies nor eat them at every meal, more like once a month. So by the end of March, I hope to love veggies; it doesn't have to be all veggies but at least a couple that I eat every day!

2. Lose at least 20 pounds, 30 would be better

3. Exercise at least 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. I walk around from class to class but this is not enough. I need to do 30 minutes of cardio at least 4 times a week if I want to lose weight.

4. Learn how to eat healthy. I want to love healthy food and not want to eat junk.

5. Think a little bit more positively about myself.

Gabby's Goals

I will be splitting 2010 into quarters. First quarter, January 1st-March 31st, second quarter April 1st-June 30th, 3rd quarter July 1st-September 30th, and fourth qaurter October 1st-December 31st.

This way, I feel like I can devide up goals evenly and keep track of my progress.

First Quarter Goals
1. Lose 15 pounds (Low goal)
Lose 25 pounds (High goal)
2. No enerdy drinks
3. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week
4. Run a mile in under 13 minutes
5. Drink WAY more water!
6. Eat WAY less fastfood, if at all.
7. Make healthier choices, smaller portions.

The first quarter here, I start out at 240 pounds.

At the end of each quarter, I will do a blog pertaining to all the goals.

For the year, my ultimate goals are
1. To be able to fit into a medium t-shirt. I will be hanging one on my wall to be a reminder of how hard I am going to have to work at this.
2. To stop eating when I am bored. I will be keeping track of the things that I can do instead of just siting around, eating, and watching TV.
3. To hike to the top of Multomah Falls.
4. To go hiking this year more then once.
5. Lose 50 pounds in 2010.
6. Stop drinking energy drinks and Starbucks (my two weaknesses)
7. Make healthier choices, smaller portions, and don't go out and get fast food. That is one of my weaknesses as well, I LOVE fast food. Tacobell, McDonalds, and Burger King. Those are NOT healthy, so I just need to say "good-bye."

I am sure I will add more goals as the days pass.
