3 POUNDS LOST IN 1 WEEK ON HSGD :)

Hey girls!!!!!

I am super happy. Today I weighed in at 126.5. This is 5.5 pounds less than my highest weight (which I reached my first semester in college) and 3.5 pounds less than when I started the Healthy Skinny Girl diet 2 weeks ago. I didn't think weight loss like this on this diet could be possible, but it is. Don't ever think you have to starve yourself in order to lose weight. You can do it the healthy way! It may take longer, but it will last and you will feel so much better. I can't even tell you how amazing I feel eating unlimited fruits and veggies and simply limiting everything else. I checked back on myfitnesspal to see how many calories I actually ate during last week (including fruits, veggies, everything) in order to lose 3 pounds:

Mon: 1559

Tues: 1293

Wed: 2401

Thurs: 1427

Fri: 1491

Sat: 1356

Sun: 1401

That was my intake for last week. Never once did I go under 1200 calories, and I still lost 3 pounds in a week. I wasn't even heavy when I started this, at a BMI of 19.76. Think, if you are overweight or simply want to lose those last few pounds like me, you can do it on this diet, in a healthy, reasonable way. Just keep track. Eat high volume foods. Exercise 3 days a week. And you're golden.

Peace ladies. More later. :)

Overall, I am happy with this diet, even if the weight loss is slow. I'm interested to see what I will weigh in at tomorrow (I'm hoping for a loss, even the tiniest!). I don't feel deprived at all on this diet, being able to eat as many fruits and veggies as I want as well as enjoy my favorite foods! I do regret going over my calories this week, but every week, every day I recommit myself to this. Again, I was over in exercise for the week, which is easy to do with my three ballet classes a week. I still feel like I want to stick with this diet long term, because it makes so much sense to me, health and fitness wise.

Weigh-in tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me!!

The Reason

The reason to:

#1 Eat more fruits and veggies.

#2 Be a vegetarian.

#3 Don't eat fast food (often, at least).

Why does it seem like a lot Britons have really messed up eating habits? I feel like I've watched so many documentaries on anorexia/bulimia coming out of Britain. This is a different kind of disorder, where a person chooses only one or a few foods to eat an excludes everything else. I found this article to be so disturbing, and even more disturbing is that the mom thought starving her daughter would help?? Oh yes, just encourage a different type of disorder! I can think of much more logical options for helping her daughter, like getting her treatment. But I guess a lot of people don't see this as an eating disorder yet. How weird, since it involves food, and it's extreme. That sounds like a disorder to me.

That's my little rant on this article.

HSGD Day 8: 900, Weekly Weigh-in & New Goal :)

Weight: 129.5

.5 pounds lost so far!!

BMI: 19.69

Bust: 33.5

Waist: 24.5

Hips: 35

Lost .5 inches!

Waist-to-hip ratio: .7

Mon 23: 791/900

Cardio 1: 1 hour ballet/30 mins

The weigh-in today revealed some small victories. I lost a little weight and lost half an inch off of my hips. Although I did very well last week and I'm glad I reaped some results, I need a new goal this week to make sure that I do better, and lose more. My goal is going to be under my calorie limit every day this week. I know I can do it, because I can and will look like her:

Have a great week, ladies!

I am so happy that I decided to include a weekly calorie total and a weekly cardio total, because I feel so much better about the days I went a little over in calories now. The days I went under evened it out so that I did almost perfect, going over by only a calorie! This coupled with going over in exercise by 2 hours excites me for the weigh-in tomorrow. I hope I lost at least 1-3 pounds!!

Sorry I skimped on the last few days. My life has been so busy now that school has started up again. I'm taking 20 credits but I'm having so much fun! Nothing beats being a theater major :)

Here's to Week #2! I can do this!
