365 Days of Hell:Days 20/365

365 Days of Hell:Days 20/365


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 Begins.  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 20 – Sunday
Assessment
I think I did better today at getting more veggies in.  I wish I would have done more than just housework though.  C.

DAY 19 – Saturday
I'm not impressed with today.  I should have done more workout out, and I should've done a lighter cheat since I had cheated earlier in the week.

DAY 18 – Friday
Lagoon
Sammi hated posing and the dress!

Oh man can I just tell you Lagoon is very different for me as I’m now an overweight adult.  As a child I remember it just being pure bliss and it was a challenge to see how many scary rides you could get in.  I wasn't limited by anything.  Things are different these days......I can’t really go on any rides, but I knew that going in, so it was a good reminder to me of why I’m doing this.
But it was really fun seeing  Sammi go on rides.  Poor thing though didn’t like going on rides by herself, except for the boat ride.  She loved how you could ring the bell.  She had a hard time waiting in line she wanted to go on the ride so bad.  It also was nice getting to know more of Adam's coworkers.

Its funny how the rides aren't my only memory.  I remember how delicious the food was also.  The corn over by the log ride that was dripping with butter.  The hot scones with butter and honey - the ice cream.  Such delicious memories.  lol why are all of my favorite memories covered in chocolate and whip cream lol.
As you can tell from my screenprint, we did indulge in the ice cream.
 Working Out
I kicked ass today!  Lisa and I did a really good workout - I almost couldn't keep up with it lol.  I did a little weeding and then there was the hours of walking around at Lagoon.  YEAH ME!
 REVIEW:
I get more of a C+ when it comes to today because I pretty much failed with the food but I got an A+ for exercise.

DAY 12 – Saturday
Milcreek Canyon
So we went to Milcreek Canyon today.  So many of my plans just didn’t go through, like my plan to go on a big hike and eat healthy snacks which I forgot to bring.  Seriously I’m so FAILING at planning right now and I’m getting sick of the excuses.  Now our lunch was healthy and breakfast I didn’t do too bad.  By the time we got home we were so exhausted!

Sammi Time
I have to throw in a pic of my baby sleeping up at Milcreek.  Isn’t she adorable?  Yes, I know I don’t deserve it.  The sweetest baby ever.  I thank heaven for my little sweetheart every day!
DAY 13 – Sunday
Grindage

I think this works better and is more to the point.  Not only do I have to track, but then show exactly what I ate.  Very smart (this head isn’t just a cute hat rack)!
Rude, it won’t let me finish tracking for yesterday, so look for this tomorrow.
Move yo’ ass!
-Its already ten and nothing yet unless you count cleaning the kitchen which I don’t!

DAY 14 – Monday
I’m so proud of myself today I have to say. I’m finally doing it right again – back on track.
Food
Today wasn’t easy.  We had a team lunch at the Brick Oven, which is a pizza joint I’ve everyone rave about.  Mmmm, I love me some pizza.

But I decided well before going that I would be strong.  When I got there I nearly waivered because it was only a dollar more to get all-you-can-eat pizza with the salad bar.  I WAS STRONG.  Mark it down peeps.  But actually, it won’t be such a rarity.  I can do this and I will!  Hoorah!
Exercise

And another A+ for Mrs. Holt! 

  • 45 minutes aerobics (thank you Mrs. Lisa Price!  You are an inspiration)
  • 30 minutes with Sammi (hooray for her new push bike that she L-O-V-E-S)!!!!

This is seriously impressive.  J
Feelings
I’m feeling just so vastly proud!  Yeah me, keep being awesome!  We need this effort every day.  BE STRONG!!!  This pic is my proud and happy as a lark face lol.  (Hey you gotta love these highs in an effort to have more of them)

DAY 15 – Tuesday
I weighed in today and gained 1.4 pounds but I am not giving up.  I just need to eat more veggies and stay focused.

DAY 16 – Wednesday
I decided I need to just show what I eat and how much I exercise:


Exercise

I totally rocked it in exercise today.  Thank you Max and Hailey, my adorable niece and nephew who kept me running around literally for 2 hours.  You rock!
DAY 17 – Thursday

I don’t even have to say anything………..look at these horrible results.


What the hell?  And all evening I’ve been thinking, oh I just won’t post that I ate that. No, I have to be honest.  So what was the first mistake – the pizza from my training.  I justified it thinking at least I had the veggie pieces and only had 2 pieces instead of like 4 that I would normally have.  But then I made even more mistakes though by stopping at a gas station for a drink and getting a KING size candy bar AND a huge rice crispy treat.  Oh SHIT that isn’t even everything.  After the pizza I literally had 1/3 of a loaf of pumpkin bread.  ::Bangs head against wall HARD::

And I didn’t plan my day well – didn’t get up early enough to exercise because it was my study all night day.  I’m disappointed.

Going Forward
Tomorrow is Lagoon day for Adam’s work and I know they have really yummy things there, but I need to get salad and focus on all of that great walking I’ll be doing.  I also will try not to be sad that I can’t ride any rides lol.  I want to turn this into motivation to me and not depress me further or anything.  CONSISTANCY IS KEY!

And I can’t be sad that I can’t have a funnel cake or something because if I’d been good today I probably could have.  DUH.
