365 Days of Hell - A Strong Start!


365 Days of Hell – Day One

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 12th 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 1

EXERCISE:

1 HR 15 minutes (1 hr treadmill, 15 min Dance Revolution)

AM:  It wasn’t as bad waking up as I thought it would be.  I made sure to wear my sleep apnea mask, as uncomfortable thing as it is, if I don’t wear it I’m even MORE tired than usual.

I watched the last half of Extreme Makeover:  Weight Loss Edition as I worked out.  Its kind of weird watching it, knowing I was asked to try out for it, but then wasn’t ultimately chosen for it.  But it was really motivating to me.  I really related to Nyla as she was only 10 pounds heavier than me, was stubborn, and had a parent commit suicide too.  More on that later….

I did the treadmill for one hour this morning.  I ignored my back and my foot the whole time and just sweated like a pig!  And I was walking at a pace most people warm-up at.  But I’m so proud of myself.  For 20 minutes I even had .5 incline lol.  Hey you gotta start somewhere.  Ku-DOS to me!

TRACKING: 

I did track everything!  Yeah me and I kept within my points.  Hoorah!

FEWER CARBS:

For breakfast I had eggs and for snacks I had nuts, hummus, veggies.  Tonight we had my stuffed green peppers with rice etc so that is where I had my carbs (besides the fruit etc)

Reflection

Excellent start!  I just need to keep on trucking full throttle.  I can do it.  It’s not easy but I just have to do it!  Oh joy in the first few days when you are so pumped and happy.  I am fully prepared for the times when I am grumpy as hell lol.
