Carrots carrots and more carrots.

Good evening you guys! Today has been a good day besides studying for an exam I have tomorrow early in the morning (it's a microbiology exam)! Studying really takes your time doesnt it? I put my nose in the books and when I checked the time hours has passed! Besides all the studying I did Jillian - 30 day shred my leg still feels funny but it didnt hurt as much as it did yesterday. I also did good in the food department.
Here are my eats from today:
breakfast: 1 green monster this one a bit different from yesterday: 1 cup of 2% milk, 3 strawberries, 1/2 cup of oatmeal and lots of spinach. The oatmeal really does full you.
snack: one apple and 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese.
Lunch wasnt really lunch because when I realized 4 hours had past since my snack and I was starving so I went to the fridge for something really quick and grabbed about 2handfuls of baby carrots and a slice of carrot cake. I promise the piece of cake wasnt big at all.
Dinner: 1/2 cup of beans, 1/2 cup of rice, 1 small steamed zuchini and baby carrots.

I had a lot of baby carrots today. Another way I like them (besides steamed or by themselves) is with lemon, salt and chili powder, lol is that weird? Whenever I crave something sour and salty I go for that or cucumber (the same way).
okay I have to get back to studying now. Wish me luck and Thanks for reading!

Talk to you soon! =D

weigh-in # 4

Hello everyone!
This weigh-in is not a gain! I feel ecstatic! I finally loss this week a total of 2.2lbs which brings me back to 180.4. I cant wait to weigh in next week and see myself out of the 180's again. Today I didnt excersice because I think I pulled a muscle in my leg during yesterdays run, and it hurts when I try to push myself to do the 30 day shred dvd. It's a bummer because I was ready to do it but my leg couldn't handle it. It's ok because I know I tried and my eats weren't soo bad.
here are my eats for today:
breakfast- 1 green monster (1 cup of 2% of milk 2 handfulls of spinach and 1/2 a banana), with 1/4 of a cantaloupe and 8 grapes.
snack 1/2 cup of total cereal with milk
Lunch: turkey sandwich (spinach, mushroom and tomato) 1 cup of progresso soup
snack: fiber one bar.
and dinner was wonky (is that a word?, I have it in my vocab..lol)
I had a bowl of rice, chicken and veggies but didnt finish it because I had to go out. When i got home at around 9:30 I was really hungry and had 2 oranges and a less than an inch piece of chocolate cake (It tasted delicious but was not tempted to get more)
I dont really feel bad about the piece because I think a week ago I would've eaten more than that.
Hope my leg feels better tomorrow so I can kick some butt in my work-out.
Thanks for reading!

Update

Thought I left this bloggy hangin? Nope! I've just been busy this week with school and exams. I think it's a miracle if I get to post on Monday-Thursday. I wake up way to early for my liking (5am) and get home too tired but have to study and do homework. On other news I think I've been doing pretty darn good and I feel GREAT! on sunday I did good food wise, on Monday I sort of got off track but not a big deal on Tuesday up to this day (friday) i've been exercising! I'm so happy and proud of myself. Because since Mon I've been doing Jillian Michaels-30 day Shred plus today i ran 3 miles, yep 5 days of exercise and a 3 mile run. I REALLY want to complete 30 days of the dvd, I have always stopped for a few days at around day 12-15.I know I suck. I have another run planned for tomorrow early in the morning but we'll see what happens. Im pretty excited yet scared to step on the scale tomorrow but I have to do it. Thanks for reading!

Weigh-in #3 and ramblings...

Today was weigh-in and as much as I hate to post it on here I HAVE to. I made the commitment to post the good weigh-ins aswell as the bad ones. Today was a bad one, I feel so bad and embarassed, seriously because on the previous posts i'm talking about how i've been doing bad but how it's going to change and my weigh-in today proves it hasnt change. In my mind I thought I did better than last week but apparently the scale doesnt think so. Now that i reflect on this past week i noticed i'm always eating something and saying to myself "Rosa you'll start tomorrow" or "You already ate those chocolate kisses might as well eat whatever you want for the rest of the day" so i've been eating that kind of food consciously knowing it's bad. I've also thought a few days of eating whatever i saw in front of me wouldnt make a difference on my body. The verdict? yes it will and it does. It's starting to reflect on my body and not only I noticed but my sister did too! My jeans are starting to feel snuggly on me and it doesnt feel good. Lately i've been reaching for the lose fitting ones or some pants. I was just ignoring the fact that my pants weren't fitting as they use to. Yesterday my older sister told me that it seems I've been gaining weight (I dont tend to tell no one when i gain lbs). My reaction wasnt feeling bad for myself or mad at her (when people tell me I'm big I hate them and/or get mad at them for a quick minute). I told her "THANK YOU for telling me!" yes i did because i thnk i need it just that a reality check. I guess that since no one was telling me that i looked fatter i didnt really took eating healthy seriously and was eating whatever i wanted. Now I'm being better on what i've been putting in my mouth.
okay sorry for my rambling.
here's the moment of truth today in the morning i weighed in at 182.6 that's a gain of 2.2 lbs!. That means i've gained 5.4 lbs in two weeks! That's just awful! Im seriously DETERMINED to shed those 5.4 lbs ASAP (the healthy way of course)!
To prove that i'm serious this time here are my eats of today.
Breakfast:
2 peanut butter toasts(whole wheat bread), 1 cup of grapes, and 1 cup of milk.
Snack: 1/2 cup of kashi go lean and <1/2 of cottage cheese
Lunch: Salad: 1/2 cup Romain lettuce,1/2 c spinach, 1/4 of bell pepper, baby carrots, 2 mushrooms, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 cucumber. -
Seems pretty big but its low on cals.
Dinner: 1/2 c steam white rice, 3/4 cups of black beans, 1 1/2 steam broccoli,cauliflower, baby carrots, and 1/4 avocado.

Im positive i'm going to have a loss next week ;)
THANK YOU for reading!

Venting...

I have fallen off the wagon and seriuosly cant get back on. As much as I want to, it seems like I can't. I havent posted any eats 'cause I'm just ashame of what i've been eaten. I start off my days good and then slowly but surely I choose the unhealthiest things that look so yummy! I'm going to put a stop to this! and WILL start eating healthy. Today I didnt have classes because it's a holiday (Presidents day), and i had a 3 mile run planned with my older sis. I wake up early on a non-school day (5:30am to be exact) get ready with my running shoes, fully pumped and excited about the run to get really MAD! She overslept! I was mad and frustruated instead of doing some exercise on my own i went back to bed. i slept 4 extra hours and felt so heavenly and the rest of the day has gone by so fast! I have planned to do some kind of exercise tonight because I WILL not let my previous hard work go to waste! This venting felt really good!

Talk to you soon. =D

eats... so far.

First of all Happy Vday everyone!
I started off good (i think). I'm not sure where I'm at.
ok so for breakfast I had
My hot water with lemon.
1/2 of dry oats(150 cals)
1 apple (95 cals)
1 medium banana (105 cals)
1/2 cup of yogurt (65 cals)
I mixed this together, it's delicious!

then I waited too long (bout 4 hrs later) to have a snack
so i ended up eating Jello have no clue in the amount of cals
but i ate quite a bit.

I think my stomach didnt appreciate it 'cause i'm craving real food now and it hasnt been 2 hours since I ate Jello.

oops i know.

I'll post the rest of my eats later in the day.

Thanks for reading
Talk to you soon! =D

weigh-in#2

I knew it, I gained this week. Am I mad? no but dissapoint I am. If I was feeling sad or what ever feeling I was feeling I shouldnt have eaten my feelings away; I should've written them down or something but it's ok I'm not going to beat myself up for this week. I dont know what happen to me but I'm feeling better today and I've been doing good food wise so im hoping next week I have a loss any kind of loss is good to me. I weighed myself this morning and the scale read 180.4 lbs yup I gained and not a little gain but 3.2 lbs to be exact, in ONE WEEK. I ate peer crap this week; chocolate but loads and loads of chocolate (have i mention chocolate is my favorite?), many honey bun breads, and other things non-healthy. This week Im going to try my hardest to better my eating. Exercise wise I'm going to try to do some but not an hour, it didnt work last week and I have loads of homework to do so i'll be happy if i do 30 mins atleast 3 times this week.
Here are my eats so far today.
Breakfast was a green monster (1 banana, 1 handfull of spinach, strawberry yoplait light, 1/2 cup of 2% milk) and 1 cup of hot water and lemon.

I didnt eat a snack because i wasnt hungry or anything
for lunch I ate a tuna sanwich and 1 cup of soup

I still dont know what im eating for dinner or snack.

I have a feeling...

That won't go away and I HATE it! I just hate the feeling becasue I dont even know how to describe it. It irritates me! I dont know if it's fear(but of what?), stress, anxiety... or something else. I just don't know. This week was my first week of spring semester in college (Last week I was in winter semester) maybe it's that i havent taken vacations from school since last Winter semester, and i'm just overwhelmed. School is soooo hectic right now i have a workload on me, that i haven't even thought about eating healthy what so ever and since valentines day is tomorrow somehow i've had my more than fair share of chocolates this week (i mean MORE that fair share) with ONLY 2days of workout. This week was pretty crappy and i try to keep my thoughts positive but i just cant seem to do it. I hope next week is better. Sorry for not updating since i dont even know when. I post this post because i want to be honest to whoever is reading this.

talk to you soon!

P.s tomorrow is weigh-in, I expect a gain. =(. and THANK YOU so much if you read this.

weigh-in #1

hello!
This is my first weigh in since i created this blog. I'm HAPPY to report that I'm down 1.8 lbs which brings my weight to 177.6! I'm soooo happy because this is my first loss since this year began!I'm always happy with ANY loss it can be 2 ounces and im happy. I just dont want to gain.
But I also have a confession to make, this evening i ate pizza, not just one slice or two, more like 5 (not at the same time, I ate them through out the day). grabbing a pizza from the table was easier than making myself something healthy. UGH i know bad me! Today I excersiced for 40 mins, I like to think that somehow i canceled my calorie intake? Most definatly not and this makes me mad at myself. I have an early wake up call tomorrow because I have plan an early run with my sister. When we usually go run we do about 3 miles or so. We'll see how many I do. I wont be bad this upcoming week. PROMISE. I have a goal to hit 165 by May because I have a family reunion around that time and everyone in my family is thin except for me, we'll see how my plan goes.
I'll let you know how my run went

Talk to you soon!

P.S I'm going to start posting (as much as possible) what I eat because writing it down on my notebook hasn't really halped. I think it's because I'm the only that reads it.

g'night...=D

err...

Hi!
I have a confession to make. I'm lazy to exercise today. =(. Yesterday I didnt exercise because I was REALLY busy with finals and didnt get home 'til late and I was too tired to do any sort of exercise. Today is another story, I'm just lazy. I just cant get myself to exercise and i HATE it! I tried and stopped not even 3 minutes in. I'm a bit sore from my arms from last time I excercised. Maybe that's it? I still have to complete 2 hrs and 10 mins of exercise for this week before sunday AND tomorrow I'll weigh myself (I weigh myself at home but JUST once a week) *gulp*. I am going to set my alarm early so I can get 1 hour in tomorrow(yes i have exercised that long before..even longer).
sorry for my lack of motivation today.
will talk to you tomorrow with an update of my weight
*fingers crossed i lost or atleast stayed the same*

night!

Day 2.

Hi!
This is my 2nd day of working out...=D. I just finished 30 day shred and
10 minute cardio workout. Today's workout, again, wasnt the whole 60 minutes like I had planned (school keeps me busy), but by the end of the week I will have a total of 3 hrs for this week. So far I have 50 mins, 2hrs and 10 mins to go.
Thank you for reading!

Talk to you soon! =)

a quick update.

hello!
As I mention on my previous post my monthly goal is to exercise 3 times a week (for one hour).I didnt do ANY exercise yesterday! (does walking from class to class at your colllege campus count?...jk i know it doesnt). Today is a different story! I just finished doing level 2 of 30 day shred (this sure is a toughy for me). I know it isnt one hour just twenty minutes, but i'll be sure to squeeze the remaining 40 somewhere in this weeks workouts ;). Maybe tomorrow before heading to school?
I'll make sure to post the days i work up a sweat.

Have a good night!
talk to you soon!
