I feel like I should make a NYE post
but I don’t know what to put in it.
I don’t have any exciting plans tonight. NYE and I don’t have the greatest history so it is just me, my parents, my mum’s parents, and two of their friends.
I haven’t thought about resolutions at all. I’ve never really done them seriously because I know if there is something I want to do, I’ll commit to it when...

WatchThis has nothing to do with anything but it absolutely captivated me, and I also want to clear out my drafts before the new year.

Woohooooo!
I just did a test run. My very first outdoor winter run. I had no idea how it would go.
I asked my mother to time me: 46 min
I just plotted my path online: 3.077 miles
(this is a great time for me!!!!!)
Thanks for your help everyone!!
I do have a few ordinary long sleeved shirts with me, but I thought I might be able to find something that was actually designed for what I wanted to do… silly me. A lot of those stores don’t exist up here (I’m in Canada) but I will be checking out the ones that do plus online stores for the next time I do outdoor winter running. Although that probably won’t be until next...
They don't want fat people exercising
In the sports stores no work out clothes will fit my HUGE size 18 body. In plus size stores the “work out clothes” are clearly just for lounging. I’m not running this 5k in a t-shirt or in a hoodie.
I really want to make a vlog
I have one of those thoughts on replay in my mind right now. One of those thoughts I just need to give a voice to. I need to talk it out, to share it, to ask my question out loud.
BUT I STILL DON’T HAVE MY FUCKING COMPUTER.

I had my meals all planned out
An omelet for breakfast. Gym. Ham and swiss croissandwich. Then dinner is the traditional tourtiere.*
But then my father brought chocolate croissants home for everyone and I couldn’t refuse to eat it. That would have been rude. So now I can have an omelet for lunch but I am seriously mourning that croissandwich. Seriously. I don’t know when I will get a chance to eat one with all of...
cals: let’s call it 1800
water: half
gym: no
class: dropping this one too.
Everyone needs a break from time to time. Mine was today. I was supposed to wait for tomorrow but I couldn’t. I’ll do tomorrow like today should have been just to make up for it.
cals: 1368
gym: yes
class: no
water: no
treats: cutting this one, who cares as long as i meet my cals.
PS. On treadmill ran 5k in 43:23. I really secretly want to be under 50mins on the real day and I know it will be harder outside with hills and wind and no planned time or level to complete. I’m going to need to push myself. But I’ve proven that it’s possible…
Question
What should I wear for this 5k? I haven’t run outside since July. Also I own no ‘running gear’. The forcast says from freezing to a few degrees below, so not too cold. And I get really, really hot when running. Would I be fine in pants and a long sleeved shirt? Do I need to go buy expensive clothing? I need your help! What do you think?

TAKE THAT CHRISTMAS.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to weigh myself next Wednesday because I’ll be visiting my grandparents for New Years. I’ll let you know what Tuesday is if I can’t do Wednesday. I’m aiming to maintain this number… okay maybe one more pound down would be nice!
healthiereveryday asked: Hey darlin! I've noticed that you've started counting calories - this is fantastic! I am doing it too, as you probably know. each day I write out my "What I Ate yesterday" post for the day before. This helps me really see, from day to day, exactly where my strengths and weaknesses are with foods. Counting and tracking DOES help. Yes, I started smaller than most of the people in...
my old laptop has been denying me internet access and the family computer is very busy this holiday season. i’ve just grabbed a moment to pop in and say that to day was not so great.
gym - check
class - check
water - nope
treats - more than 2 (less than i would have had last year so…+?-?)
cals - no clue, need internet to track but it don’t think it’s too bad. somewhere...

My internet hasn’t been working on this shitty laptop. I WANT MY OLD ONE BAAAACK!

My mum had to ask me for the registration if I would be running or walking. Why is there no option for both?!?!?
I chose running.
Help!

Check. I tried to run 3.2 miles. I made it to 2.5….
I will get better.

Nope. I thought there was one at noon but I was wrong. There was only 9am and 10am and I was...
Two things about yesterday
1. I didn’t wear underwear. I know tons of people do it all the time but I’m not one of them. But I had none clean so… I got my hair cut, went to the gym, and picked up a christmas tree. It was wild! It felt so weird in jeans!! And wokout pants! And just in general I guess!
2. I found a 5k. I was thinking of doing one in BC in February over my reading week but then I felt like I...
Day 4
treats (+4)
Today was a baking day so I ate three!! Not that bad all in all. The mini candy cane meringues were 8 cals so - woohoo! But each one inch cranberry date square is 165 so… not so much.

I’m not too concerned. I’m more proud that I was truthful with the website and didn’t just leave a thing out here or there to avoid seeing red like I might have if I...
The 16th was yesterday
I’ve been all mixed up about days so I actually took the stupid 16th photo on the 15th and was going to post it yesterday but by the time I remembered it was already long gone on the hard drive of my computer being shipped off to a repair centre who knows where. I’ll post it at the same time at the Jan 16th edition, provided my hard drive hasn’t been wiped clean. Don’t...

Low again… I’ll get better at this I promise. It even includes the two Christmas cookies I ate. But also it’s hard because I want to make up for those four days coming up that I know will just be write offs….

Yesss.

I made it to bodypump today. It was intense!! I was in a lot of pain but I think it was good for me. The less...
Day 2
Calories
1500 is my goal so I’d say I did very well! But myplate has turned all nasty and red on me because I’M 30 CALORIES OVER!!!!! Honestly, the way these online calculators work messes with my head. Why is it so important to just stay under my calorie goal? Shouldn’t I be trying to meet it? Could we have a hundred cal buffer so 1450-1550 was right on and anything higher...

This is as good as a loss for me! I really need to stop this habit of gaining 6lbs after every weigh-in and then fighting to bring it back down Sunday-Tuesday. (Hint: this is the first time I’ve seen the 230s again since last WIW) I used to get upset if I gained at all day to day. Not saying I should go back to that level of obsessiveness...

Home!!!
My flight got in at 4:30. I waited for my baggage, drove into the my city, ate some dinner and then……… ran to the gym for a 7:00 yoga class.
That’s right guys. You read that right.
The past few days have been abysmal for me health-wise: very little moving, even less sleep, but more than twice as much food as I should be eating….. So instead of giving myself some...

My First Zumba
I finally went today. Here is what was good about Zumba:
I sweat
It was only an hour
Honestly, I thought I would love it. Lights, music, dancing, hips etc… but it was bad. I hope it was just the instructor - she didn’t show us the moves or how to do them, she couldn’t keep the rhythm herself, she didn’t warn us when we switched moves, she made us dance to country music....
Hilarious Moment
Try to picture this:
I’m sitting cross-legged on my bed. I lean back to swing my legs out from under me so I can stand up. But my back is so tired from that class that it can’t support me so instead of just leaning back a little, I actually fall all the way back so I’m lying on my bed. Then I have to roll out of it.
Yup.

I went to a class tonight!
I was so nervous and scared but I just kept thinking how exciting it would be to tell you all about this huge accomplishment. Which it is. And I am still proud I overcame that particular anxiety. But
I sucked. - shaking, cramping, can’t do the easiest form…. sucked.
One of the things I held on to even at my highest was that I was stronger than I looked. I...

The difference is a fake number because last week wasn’t really that bad. I still think my scale is magical though. All week until yesterday I was in the 240s… we’re talking 242.4 on Monday - two days ago!!!!!! But I’m not complaining.

Not a fitblr but for those of you who like to diversify… this girl is amazing. There is some breathtaking writing, stunning images, awesome music. PLUS she’s brand new so you’re getting in on the ground floor. PLUS she’s the coolest person in person too. PLUS I’d love you forever if you followed her.
And I’ll write some fitnessy stuff soon I...
You know what sucks?
When you finish a performance and feel so awkward. Because everyone is being congratulated by their family and friends and you have none. So ‘hurray the class is done!’ - you leave silently.
Bed soon! I promise!
I know I never respond to replies. It’s because if I did to the ones that especially move me I would feel guilty for not including all of them, and if I include all of them…. well I have a hard enough time just following a very small number of you guys and what you post, while posting stuff of my own from time to time.
However,
Thank you for the advice and reassurance. And...
