Road to my goal weight! - Daily diary

Hey guys, i gues i'll introduce myself. I'm a 23 year old girl from Chile. Right now i'm trying to lose all of the weight that has been holding me back for years. I guess to me it's more than just getting a beach ready body, as i'm sure it is for a lot of you too.

Out of all the diets that i've tried only one was succesful because i was weekly visiting a nutritionist so i kinda had this pressure of having to tell someone what i was eating and everything. It's been almost five years since that and now i'm really uncomfortable with the way I look and feel.

This last christmas talking to my mom I decided that starting the new year i was going to turn around a new leaf and i was gonna get serious about this and i'm really happy to say that i've been really good with it. I'm not following any specific diet, i just started to cut down things from my diet. No more sugar or sodas, no pastries or candy, instead of 2 pieces of bread i'm only eating half of a piece, lots of veggies and fruits and also plenty of water.

I know it's only been a week but my face is showing a little bit that i'm losing weight, i know it's not a really big change but it''s something!

Ok i hope i keep doing what i'm doing and i hope i hear from some of you guys soon! :)
 
welcome pati! and how lovely to have someone all the way from chile

sounds like a nice healthy, sensible diet.

what day will you weigh in ?
 
I was sure i had updated it i guess i didn't lol
First thanks Blondcat for the lovely comment! let me say good job girl! I wish i get to look as fabulous as you! :girlpower:
btw I looove your hair!. About your question, i don't have a scale, the one we had broke years ago and never replaced it but i'm thinking i'll get a new one this week. So far the only way i've been keeping track is with pictures and with the measuring tape. I'll update my profile as soon as possible.

Today's meal
Breakfast: i didn't have breakfast (not because i'm skipping meals, i know that's not good for you but i never wake up hungry enough to go get something, besides i'm on summer break so everyday i wake up super late (i need to change this, but i'm kind of an night owl) and when i get up it's already lunch time
Lunch: Roasted skinless chicken thigh with a masive plate of veggies (letuce, green onion, green pepper, tomatoes, a few pieces of beet) and plenty of water. Also i'm insulin resistant so i have to take my medicine everyday after lunch (i was taking it religiously but one day i just stopped, not good on my part, but now i'm back on track again)
Dinner: In my country we are not really used to having a big meal at night time, so we have something called "Once" or the afternoon tea but here we have it at like 8-9. Anyway i had half of a piece of bread with turkey and a cup of tea, no sugar.

I'm not really sure how many calories was that but i feel good, the only thing that literally keeps me up at night is that around midnight my stomach will start growling and i guess it's bc i used to snack on whatever was left around the house and now i don't do it anymore, my last meal is at 9 so i get super hungry at night. I'll just have to get used to it :D

Welcome to the board Pati and congrats on deciding to take the first step and do something to lose weight - I know how difficult that is.

Wow all the way from Chile - how exciting!!

You might want to have a think about what you can build in for breakfast - I heard that eating something then kickstarts your metabolism for the day and gets your body used to burning off stored calories for energy. I've been reading more about the effects of sugar levels and how the body responds to different types of food and when to make diet choices more effective.

good luck and looking forward to hearings how you are getting on.
 
Hey Blue! Thank you for your comment, i really need to change my sleeping habits, here i am at 3 am wide awake hopefully i'll start having a normal sleeping schedule by next week, that way i'll wake up just in time for breakfast

I wanted to update my diary, a few hours ago i tried on a pair of pants that last week would just cut me up in half and now i can proudly say that they don't anymore, they still aren't as loose as i would like them to be but it's something! Small victories, right?

Good night :)
 
Okay so today I finally managed to wake up at a decent hour, and had a small breakfast since i wasn't really hungry so I ate 5 mini strawberries and a glass of light orange juice but i didn't drank it all. Here's a picture (sorry that i came out too big)

For lunch i had a roasted skinless chicken thigh with a medium boiled potato and a chicory salad and water

For dinner a small dinner roll with a few pieces of chicken with less than a teaspoon of mayo and a cup of tea, no sugar

I was doing pretty good until a couple of hours ago i started feeling super bloated and puffy so now i'm having a cup of hot water with two leaves of basil, so i hope that helps.

Also i'm happy to say that i went from having a 132 cm waist to 125 cm! I still haven't been able to weigh myself but my jeans are starting to fit me better, still not loose enough but better. YAAAY! :D
 
Wow, thats great...while reading this I got to know some weight loose ideas & tips.

More on my friend have suggested me to do Yoga & Power Yoga for healthy n specially to loose weight.
Yoga helps you to keep fit. And one more I'd love to add that include Green Tea as well in your Diet. Green tea also reduces weight.:)
 
Karen, Thanks for the reply!

Sorry i couldn't update yesterday but i went to bed super early.

For breakfast i had 3 teaspoons of diet yoghurt
For lunch chicken pieces with lettuce tomatoes onions corn and a few piecea of palm hearts
For dinner half of a piece of bread with a slice of whitw cheese and a cup of tea, no sugar
 
Okay today's menu.
I've fallen :(.

For breakfast i had half of a piece of bread with butter and a cup of black coffe, no sugar

Then i came home and ate the rest of the cup of yoghurt from yesterday.

For lunch i had rice with half of a fried pork sausage (which is super fatty and not healthy) and lettuce.

And for dinner the other half of the piece of bread with butter and a slice of white cheese which i melted on the microwave and a cup of tea, no sugar.

Right now i'm feeling pretty guilty but i know tomorrow i'll be back on track!

It's not the greatest nutritionally but doesn't sound like too many calories?
 
Okay today i had for breakfast half of a piece of bread with butter. For lunch rice with an egg and half a peach for dessert. For dinner half of a piece of bread with a slice of cheese and a cup of tea, no sugar.

Now i kind of stressing out about tomorrow, we're having people over and i already know the menu and i can't not be here so i'm troubled.
 
Okay, so today i ate way too much! i ate around 1200 calories :character00264: (for lunch: "pastel de choclo" kind of a corn pie with chicken /for diner:two hot dogs with avocado tomatoes mayo ketchup and mustard!). BUT! Today was my first day doing Zumba, 40 minutes dancing was very refreshing but very tiring. See you tomorrow
 
I'm about to do Zumba and my body is crying from the pain hahah I guess i'm super out of shape. Anyway, i'll update later ;)
 
hehehe no pain no gain! Hope the zumba goes well.

And well done on the waist getting down to 125cm! It's often not the weight but the shrinking in size that's the best measure.
 
Hahah you're right, Blue! I downloaded the Zumba videos so now i'm also gonna be dancing at home :)

Today's meal: no breakfast, lunch: corn pie with tomatoe and onion salad, diner: half a piece of bread with avocado and turkey and a cup of tea, no sugar.
 
So, i just finished with Zumba! I danced almost an hour! That's great for me because when i first started (Saturday) i could barely keep up and now i'm not even tired! YAY! I'll update my meals later.
 
I forgot to update yesterday so i'll do it now, no breakfast, lunch corn pie with tomato salad and for dinner a cup of diet yoghurt and one oatmeal berries diet cookie
 
Today: no breakfast (i really need to change this), lunch: a piece of boiled meat, half of a boiled potato, a piece of corn and cabbage salad, diner: half of a cup of diet yoghurt and a small bun of bread with tomato. Also 45 minutes of Zumba :D
