365 Days of Hell - 4/365

365 Days of Hell – Day Four 7/19/12

Recap:

My name is Holly Holt. I am a foodaholic (no applause please). I have been rejected thrice for the Biggest Loser and wasn’t chosen for Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition, despite my own “dramatic”life story and uber charismatic sassiness (I know, unbelievable!). But I’ve decided once and for all that it’s time for me to take matters into my own hands. I have tried a million program, diets, etc, but this time I’m determined to get rid of the fat suit once and for all through blood, sweat, and tears (preferably more sweat, less actual blood). My starting weight: 428 pounds. On July 12^th I started Weight Watchers. On July 16, 365 Days of Hell Began. 365 Days of exercising every day at least one hour, even though I’m a mother and wife, work full time, and go to school full time. No excuses!

Day 4 Weigh-in

Okay I’m stunned seriously.  I can’t even believe it.  I went in to weigh in today.  Granted, I went in the morning instead of evening like last week because I have Bonko tonight and it is the first week.  But still I never expected to lose 14 pounds!!!

Yeah, you read that right.  I lost 14 pounds!  Now I know I’m not going to lose this every week by any means.  The first week you lose a lot.

But holy cow what an affirmation seriously.

Me Happy!

Goals

EXERCISE:

Today is gonna be tough!  I have Bonko tonight so I gotta get my full workout in WAY before.

-Just had a really intense 30 minutes on the treadmill.  I had the incline up to 2.5 for almost the whole time and I even jogged a few minutes.  Very exciting and empowering feeling that sweat pore done and I’m just mentally cheering myself on going ‘You can do this’.  I have to say watching “Extreme Makeover:  Weight Loss Edition” really helps me stay motivated and work hard.  For my other 30 minutes I may do something on the Kinect just to split things up, get a different workout.

-This might be kind of cheating but I counted my cleaning as working out.  I feel good about it lol.

TRACKING: 

Checkmark!  Just gotta keep it up.  And pretty much I have the WW website up all day lol.

FEWER CARBS:

I’ve got to be really good – and it’s becoming tough.  I forgot my salads so I’m doing sandwiches which is more carbs than I wanted.  I still think though that if this week I do almost no carbs for breakfast and all snacks, I’m there.

Reflection

Disneyland!  So I’m just waiting for when Adam’s family is going to want to go to Disneyland.  Just yesterday Kim was saying Kiya just needs to grow one more inch to be able to go on every single ride.

Now Disneyland rides are actually pretty big – a lot bigger than Lagoon anyway.

The last time I went on those rides I think I was just over 300 and was ok on the rides.  So that is definitely something fun to look forward to.

It may sound really stupid and not that big of a deal, but its been years since I’ve been on a ride.  Knowing that you can’t do something because of you is horrible!  Its very upsetting and it makes you just want to change things. And I am.
