Weigh-In Wednesday

 

Welcome to another Weigh-In Wednesday. The last time I weighed in was on November  28th and my weight was 306.6. Let’s step on the scale and see what I weigh now.

 

Wow this is something I could have never imagined to happen in 2012. I never longer weigh 300 pounds. It feels amazing to wake up, step on the scale, and see that the number in the front is no longer a “3”. I’m speechless right now!! I thought it would at least take until 2013 to be at the weight that I’m at now. I’m crushing my goal of losing one pound a week…But it just feel surreal right now; I don’t weigh 300 pounds anymore.  Wow! I think about and just want to start screaming… because I’m doing it. I’m taking something that I’m not happy with in my life and I’m changing it; I put it out so the whole world can see. While telling everyone if I can do…Then you can do it…

I want to thank everyone that I find motivation from:  A life changing journey, Fat Girl vs World, Too Big, Sweating Until Happy, All The Weigh, Lizzie, Fat to Figure Girl, Cherie Runs This, Mission Meltdown…because you all without my inner flame wouldn’t be as bright as it is now. Thank you!

I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store for me.  Just want to say If I can do it, then you can do it too…hell do it better than me…Use me a resource I’ll give you everything that I learned so far. Let crush goals.

This is definitely bitter-sweet moment because I love the name of this blog ….but do I change it now; since I’m technically not “300 pounds” and running. What do y’all think? Do I keep the name 300 Pounds and Running or do I change it? If think I should change the name of this blog, what should the new name be?

Until till next time I’m not 300 Pounds and Running

 

It’s been a while since I did one of these weigh-ins. Somebody asked me if I gained some weight and was too embarrassed to tell everyone. Well that’s not the case. I am a student and November –December is a crazy time of year. And of course school is my top priority. I promise I am not going anywhere. This is only temporary. Now back to your regularly scheduled program…

.

It’s time for an overdue Weigh-in Wednesday. Since the last weigh in I started Cross Fit and I haven’t been running as often but recently the running bug has bitten me again, I’ve been running ever since. I ran a couple races and I will update the race page as soon as I can. The last time I weighed myself I weighed 309 and some change. Let’s see what I weigh today.

Well Well Well I lost 3.1 pounds. All of this time that I didn’t weigh myself and I’m fairly constant to my weight loss goals. I survived Thanksgiving without any weight gain especially since I love cakes, pies and cookies. I always get tempted by them and I am glad that I can finally say “No Thanks,” once in a while. My nutrition is something that I am weak in. It’s a constant battle everyday but I am maintaining. I can only imagine how fast the weight would fall off if my nutrition was on point. All and all I’m in a good place now. Well it’s time to get focused and get back to work. Only a couple more weeks until I finish this semester and I can’t wait til it come. My blog really needs some TLC..I can’t wait to tweak it  of semester break.

Until next time I am 300 Pounds and Running.

 

 

Welcome back for another installment of Weigh-In Wednesday. But before we get started, I wanted to thank everyone for all the advice and kind words that I received in a time of need. I want to give a special shout out to Tara (@tidbits_of_tara) for her heart-felt post, reading your post was like lifting an semi-truck off of my shoulders. Even though I’ve yet to find a resolve for the situation, I’m OK with the fact that I will have to deal with the consequences whatever they may be.

Now back to Weigh-In Wednesday! Last week I weighed 315.1 lbs. Let’s see what I weigh this week.

This week I weighed in at 316.1 lbs. which means I gain one pound from last week. I’m completely OK with that; truthfully I thought I would have gained more than one pound, because I didn’t get to run as often as I liked to between last week and this week. On Sunday some friends and I went to go visit another friend in NYC, because she is getting married and she needed help with the registry. She was a great hostess to us, because when we got there she had made us chicken and waffles with mimosas. Then we went to the mall in long island to do the entire wedding registry. On our way back to her apartment in Brooklyn, she took us to a Thai restaurant.

Where we had fried calamari for an appetizer and I had Pad See Yue for an entrée. However I did stick to my guns, I sectioned half of my plate to put in a carry out plate and had the other half for lunch the next day.

I didn’t get to run on Monday or Tuesday, but did I run 3.45 miles this morning.

So in the scheme of things one pound gained is not a big deal; I’m pretty sure I will lose it and more next week.What do you think? Should I be worried about a one pound gain this week? Would you be worried if you gain one pound in a week?

Until Next Time I’m 300 Pounds and Running

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday I had intentions of posting this week’s Weigh-In Wednesday, but I couldn’t pull myself to do it. Instead I watched the debate and I can’t believe Mitt Romney wants to get rid of Big Bird. What’s up with that Mittens? Let me get back on topic. The reason I couldn’t pull myself to post last night is because I have a lot on my mind and I’m trying to not let it get to me.

On the last day of FitBloggin I found out that my father is not doing well. I didn’t know how to feel, because my father and I haven’t had a relationship since I was in middle school. As the years went by I thought of him less as a father and more as the man who knocked up my mother. From what I heard he was a good guy, I just wish I had a chance to see that. As I shed a tear I think about all of the times I needed him the most and he wasn’t there. All the memories you think your father should be in, he wasn’t there. When I bought my first car? Nope he wasn’t there. When I tried out for the football team? Nope he wasn’t there. When I played football for three years (two in high school and one in college)? Nope! My first day of college? Nope! When I transferred to another college? Nope! When I had job interviews and I didn’t know how to tie a tie? Nope! When I moved to Connecticut and started Grad School? Nope! All of these memories and more that he wasn’t in my life for; and to think I was OK with him not being in my life…Well why do I instantly get angry when someone says, “You look just like your father,” because it’s an instant reminder of a man who I never knew.

Now I have to question my self-worth, myself-esteem, my self-efficacy and everything else dealing with myself, because I have to deal with the fact that he’s part of me. That’s the reason why I hated myself most of my life, wanted to die, tried to commit suicide, because deep inside I wanted to kill that part of him. Not because I hate him but because I was tired of feeling that pain of him not being here.

So when I get a call from my mother saying, “You need to come home in the next couple of weeks because your father is not doing well.” I feel like I shouldn’t go. Why? Because I want an explanation why he wasn’t there and he’s so far gone; that he can’t give me one. So what’s the point? So I can pay my respect and see him one last time before he’s gone? Why would I want to do that? Because in my eyes he’s already gone; so why am I shedding tears while I write this? Why am I craving cake, cookies, pie, and alcohol; when I know it’s not going to soothe my pain? How can I help Mission Meltdown with his cravings, when I’m craving the something? Thank god, there is a Pink Berry next to Cold Stone, because I just want to go in Cold Stone and eat ice cream straight from the metal bin, but instead I had a small Chocolate Hazelnut from Pink Berry. See I have demons too!

When I was FitBloggin someone wanted to apologize for “how greedy” they were. I told them to do what they have to do because I can’t look down at anyone because we all are at a fitness bloggers conference, we all got issues in one shape or form…I can’t pass judgment on anyone, because give me the right trigger I’ll out eat anyone….

Wow! This was supposed to be a weigh-in post, but my heart was heavy and I had to get it off of my chest.. Yesterday I weighed in at 315.1 pounds that’s -1.1 lbs. down from last week. For those counting that 23.5 lbs. down since the creation of this blog (July 1, 2012); I’m so close to 25 pounds lost I can taste it.

 

	9/26/12	10/3/12	+/-
Weight (lbs)	316.2 lbs.	315.1 lbs.	-1.1 lbs
Neck (in)	17 in.	17 in.	0

It’s Wednesday so you know what that means it’s time to weigh-in. Over the weekend I went to Fitbloggin’12; I ate good, I partied good and I met good people. In addition to all that good stuff, I got in some good physical activity; I did CrossFit, Zumba, Aerobics, and ran a 5K (Whew! I’m still sore from doing CrossFit on Saturday). I didn’t do any running on Monday and Tuesday because my body was so chafed from all the activity but I will get into that in tomorrow’s post. Anyways let’s get into Weigh-in Wednesday.
