Ultimate Scaledown
Jan 07, 2011
Here's an update on whats going on. Today I signed up for the Ultimate Scaledown at my gym. I first called the fitness director/person in charge of the scaledown to make sure I was eligible to join since there are prizes given out in the end and I wanted to have a clear conscience when doing this. The scaledown cost me about 60 bucks to join, but it's so worth it even if I don't win, but at the same point it's like I'm investing in myself!! First of all with the 60 dollars I get a bmi and fitness testing, weeekly weigh ins, daily tips via email, personal trainer, and free classes designated to only ultimate scale down participants, also there will be a nutritional grocery tour, granted our bodies are a bit different than a normie, nutrition is still nutrition and I can always benefit from learning more!
I'm so stoked! It starts tomorrow Jan 8th, and lasts till April 2nd. Granted I do want to win, I know I'm going to have to work hard! I can def tell a diff in my weight loss, and excersicing helps out a lot with the weight loss, so I know this will help!
So cross your fingers, I'm aiming to win, but if I don't at least I'll learn valuable information that will help me for my future personal fitness!
Yay! I'm stoked!

Alright,
So it's been a little while since I've wrote a blog on here. Sorry been busy. Anyway, weight wise I am down to 217 lbs. Which is awesome. That means 60 lbs lost in 10 weeks! I'm uber happy! I have no new pictures to upload! Thing's are going great though.
I seem to be able to get everything down when needed. Which is always a plus. Waters good, foods good...... I still don't feel hungry at all, and I'm super thankful for that!
Anyway, just an update!

Time for another Blog!
Oct 31, 2010
I figured it was time for another blog, since It's been over a week! Things are going good. Work out wise I'm doing great! Though I think I may be being to hard on myself, but if I'm not hard on myself now, then theres always the possibility of letting myself slip, and that's the last thing I want! Currently I'm working out 7 days a week. However I missed one day last week!
Last night I went out with some friends to a watch a band play. It was a fun night.
Weight wise, when I weighed myself today I was down to 232. That's a total loss of 45 lbs in less than 7 weeks. I have no idea if thats below normal, average, or low? If anyone knows let me know! haha.
I feel like sometimes I get overly anxious about just losing all my weight. I'm sure everyone has experienced this at some point in time. I know I have to sit back, and relax and realize that it all will come off sooner or later as long as I work at it, but sometimes that thought is hard!
I feel I'm doing good on my eating habbits. I have mainly been sticking to tuna fish, cheese, some chicken, cottage cheese. Right now my main concern is protein. I'm allowed to have broccoli, but I can barely finish the protein so why waste what little room I do have on something else. I will sometimes however try to get in a few bites. Water wise, I'm doing AMAZING! I'm really proud of my ability to get in my daily water amount!
There are many things I need to work on. I'm sure everyone has a least some aspect that they need to work on. My goals are to consistantly write down and measure what I eat. I do it often(measuring) but not all the time. As for a food diary, I def need to work on that! Anyway! Hope everyones doing well!

Feeling Great!
Oct 23, 2010
I feel amazing. It's weird what this journey does to you. Sometimes I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster! So high on life, generally after I've gone down a pant size, seen a picture of myself, and other times... it's low, feeling like I'm not doing things right, or I may be causing myself to fail in the long run..... Worrying.
Today, I feel amazing. I posted 2 new pictures of myself on here today. Me weighing 239 lbs. I looked at them, and I look great! I'm not trying to sound conceited, but I feel amazing about myself right now!
Granted, I think I look great, I still somewhat feel completely unattractive. I'm sure my self esteem will go up, trust me it goes up tremendously whenever I take an amazing picture of myself.
I haven't felt this confident about full body pictures in a long time. Generally I felt ackward taking them.
Work wise, I'm back in the 3rd shift groove. Woo hoo.
I'm looking forward to Halloween. Things are really going good! I have this amazing tool in my life, an amazing God, great friends, and even more amazing loved ones.
I'm Happy!
