Hello Old Friend!

Wow, it has been almost a month since I have blogged here. My sincerest apologies!!!

So, what has been going on in the past month?

I started school again. A full schedule plus more working. It has been crazy! I have really been struggling to keep up with homework, work, organization stuff, apartment upkeep, youtube, and a boyfriend. It has been overwhelming and exhausting.

I have still been doing my YouTube weigh ins but I have nothing new to report. I have been hovering around 225 for the whole month of September. Is that good? No. But it really isn't bad either. Even though I have worked out literally less than 5 times and have not been tracking my food, I have been maintaining! When I take a step back and look at that I am really impressed. A few months ago, I would have gained at least 7-10 pounds back.

So, now I'm devising a plan to get back on track. My previously stated goal was to get under 200 lbs. before January 1, 2010. That's about 25 pounds to lose in 13 weeks. Do the math, and you get 1.9 pounds per week.

I think my approach will be a 'one week at a time' thing, but I'm not sure yet. I'll definitely let ya'll know tomorrow when I actually post my weigh-in.

Weigh In #14 - Changed My Mind

Okidoki, I changed my mind about changing my weigh ins. Maybe later on I will change them to a different day if things get really really busy, but now it's okay...

Okay so here are this weeks results.

Last Week:
Weight: 228.2
BMI: 41.7

This Week:
Weight: 223.4
BMI: 40.9

Result: -4.8

It is quite a relief to get back to pre-vacation weight in one week. I did exercise like a crazy woman!!! Food was not too great. I did track the whole weeks calories which is something I haven't done in a while.

I have decided for the next 2-3 weeks that I will be significantly lowering my carbohydrate intake in order to re-kick start my weight loss and detox my system. In no way, do I want to be on the Atkins Diet or the Southbeach Diet (no offense to those of you who are succeeding with these methods!) but I do want to start lowering my carb intake because I feel like right now it is significantly too high.

After these few weeks pass I will hopefully be well into the 210's and I will start reintroducing breads and pastas (in moderation) back into my diet.

Here's to a great week!!!

Update

Hello Everyone,

I know that this is the time in which I would report my weigh in to you, but I have decided to change my Weigh-In's to Thursday's.

Since I blog my weigh in along with my YouTube Channel and I have to do my Seven Fat Vloggers video on Tuesdays I decided to change my days to spread out the amount of stuff that needs to be done on Tuesday. Since school started I have been insanely busy and my videos probably won't get up until later anyways and usually I don't feel like doing more than one per day anyways.

This, in no way, should be considered 'stalling' because of today's number on the scales (it's actually quite good) but it's just to keep my sanity throughout the rest of the year!

See you Thursday for Weigh-In!
