Weight Watchers


Tuesday, November 10, 2009

I am seriously so happy with Weight Watchers so far. I wish I would have realized this sooner! I tell you this. I KNOW that this is going to work for me. I have found what works for me, and even though its only been a week I can say that. Why? Because I feel it. I absolutely know it.

And I realize now that there is no magic secret to it all. There is not one thing that will work for everybody. But I believe that there is something that will work for everyone, but it is unique and different to them.

For example, my ex-step mother (LOL) Diane has lost nearly 50 pounds on TaiSlim. I am so vastly proud of her. She is happy, she is looking great and it works for her. I’m so happy she shared it with me. I was bummed for probably disappointing her when I didn’t find success with it. But isn’t that fascinating. But we are all different, so it does make sense. Mentally we are different, our emotions, and obviously the physicality of it all.

So I can not really talk smack on any other diet or program because someone may truly find success from it. All I can really do is perhaps help someone else find what works for them.

I have received a lot of criticism from switching programs constantly, but I know my body and I know when things are working and when they are not. For me Weight Watchers is going to work for me, but I encourage all to find out what works for you.

But you do need to have some guidelines. When you try things, make sure it is healthy-don’t starve yourself etc. It is always best to consult a physician. As you do your “study” of finding if something works for you, write down ALL details about it. Document everything so that you can analyze it. Sometimes some programs may not seem to work, but really we are just not ‘into it’ or giving our all. So that doesn’t really count. If you go off it for a week, start over and do another month so that you can find what works.

No matter what you do, I think for best results you should exercise. Don’t be afraid to do weights-they are so important and help you build muscle and therefore burn more fat. I also encourage you to eat healthy-try to have whole grains, fruits & veggies, and lean proteins. A general guideline as well is to have lower fat, sodium, carbs, and sugar.

MY CHOICE:

Why does Weight Watchers works for me? You can find out what works for you by seriously, trial and error. What do you hate? What do you like.

For me, I am a Gemini so I like variety! Yet I’m lazy, so I go through phases where I want to eat the same thing over and over. But I can’t do it too long or I got insane and get cranky (ok MORE cranky then normal). So WW is perfect for this because I can have the flexibility or I can have the same thing over and over and change mid-week if I want. Me loves this!

Another thing-hunger and cravings has always been an issue for me. I like sweets. I have always felt guilty about this and deprive myself of something sweet. So I try to ignore it. I get my cravings in the afternoon and at night. Sometimes I let myself have something not too bad. But eventually I would go nuts and seriously go insane and buy something crazy. I would get cakes or donuts from Harmons or lots of chocolate. Seriously (and ashamedly) almost binging. Taking in more calories in like an hour than I should in a day.

But guess what I figured out? I can’t really change those cravings and I can’t ignore them. They won’t go away. But I CAN have something sweet in the afternoon and at night. For example this week (cuz I’m in sure in 2 weeks I’ll have to change it as I get bored) in the afternoon I have a little cheesecake jello-its in a package so its portion controlled. I get that sweetness and yummy cheesecake flavor. It totally does it for me and is just barely over 100 calories, versus a piece of cheesecake or carrot cake which is probably 6-10 times as many calories and fat. At night I have one of the Weight Watcher’s treats. This totally works for me.

Now if you are one of those uber natural hippy-types who only eat things that come right from the earth, hey that is great and kudos to you. If you can discipline yourself to not have these things ever again-like people who stop having sugar, hey that’s wonderful.

But for me, I know myself. I have found what works and what does NOT. If I don’t allow myself something sweet, I will cheat. I just know that. It will happen. So I’m making an adjustment to allow for something, and again WW allows for that, so perfect match.

The other thing is the amount of food. Anyone who knows me, knows I have struggled with this. I have read and heard I should consume anywhere from 1200-2700 calories which is a HUGE difference and these are experts. So many different philosophies.

I have honestly tried to go the low calorie and it just doesn’t work for me. I get so cranky and out-of-control.

The amount WW gives me is sufficient. I honestly haven’t eaten so much in a long long time! Here is another reason why this WW is working for me. My habit is to just ignore my hunger and bring the snacks I think I should eat-again going low calorie. Really not a good thing for me. Why this doesn’t work? I am moody all the time and seriously hungry, but I’ve felt guilty eating more thinking I was just crazy and not really hungry. So again this would lead me right to failure! I would cheat because it would drive me crazy. I was sick of being hungry and having no variety were both a bad combination for me.

Also I can have freakin’ diet coke! This alone bought me-ha ha jk but it is coolness J

The other thing is that it holds me accountable. Its not nearly as expensive as many things I’ve tried, but yet I’m held accountable to weigh in once a week which is huge and keeps you on the straight-and-narrow.

I do know a weakness I have is getting bored and sticking to things, so I’m making myself stick to it at least until the wedding-5 months peeps! When I get bored I’ll just make weight loss posters etc, or pics of my dreams etc.

Lastly, it really works for me to have a cheat meal! WW allows for this because I get 35 extra points for the week. Woot

I’M SO STOKED!

Adam says this is way too long and repetitive. I don’t care! I’m not trying to win any writing awards. I’m just freakin’ happy because I feel this as a huge door opening and since I’ve tried this for years, its AMAZING!

1st Week Results

Start Weight: 374.8

Current Weight: 369.6

WOOT I LOST 5.2 POUNDS!!!!

What Dreams May Come

I’m excited! What more can I say. I just need to keep it up.

NOT SO GOOD TIMES AS OF LATE:

  • Car dying
  • Trying to fix car for hours with Adam (though this was kind of a bonding moment)
  • Being sick and throwing up
  • Being sick over and over for days
  • Realizing the video I’d spent hours on was destroyed.
  • Staying up until almost 2 AM fixing Halloween video
  • Realizing how much weight I’ve gained back!

 

GOOD TIMES LATELY:

  • Eating as much as I wanted at parties
  • Watching Halloween video I made with family
  • Having a blast with my family at our Halloween bash-especially watching Laurie bite the Zombie (jello) head and taking inappropriate pics
  • Drinking @ Adam’s family party (but thank goodness no Vampire Vodka and puking like last year)
  • Driving home (me driving of course) with happily buzzed, singing Adam
  • Watching Kristen get frightened at Adam
  • Biting into the Halloween finger’s Abby made (had pretzels in them like bones-ewww)
  • Decorating for Halloween
  • Watching everyone’s costumes at work

CURRENT WEIGHT:

371, but I will get the official weight tonight @ Weight Watchers.

THE PLAN:

Well that is the plan. Doing WW for at least 5 months, but I’m sure longer! Gotta tame this crazy kid to eat right somehow

WW-DAY 1:

Well its day 1 of WW! You know, sometimes I think we hear Weight Watchers and you kind of get the same face when you hear about Mary Kay party. You kind of roll your eyes, but yet you know the company works!

I actually am really motivated which I really needed right now. I lost my weight-losing mojo for the last month or so. I just wasn’t there mentally and emotionally!

Last night was the first meeting where you learn how to do it etc, which I really know from having done it previously. But I have to tell you I was really motivated and impressed by the teacher. Something she said really hit me-well a few things. One was simply a statistic that people who actually attend the meetings (in the past I was SO guilty of skipping) lose 3 times as much as those who don’t.

Another thing I thought was interesting is when she was talking about choosing what kinds of things to use your points for. For best results, she said you do need to make better choices, but to make sure you are still eating your favorites etc. Otherwise, you won’t be able to stick to it. Its not worth it to choke on foods you can’t stand just because they aren’t a lot of points. But the trick is to find things that are fewer points, that you enjoy, so you feel like you can eat more quantity. I’m sorry but that is just brilliant!

I have a sweet tooth. And that is okay. I can find something low calorie that fulfills that “need” that isn’t a lot of points and it is okay. Otherwise if I don’t, I will sneak in a piece of carrot cake (which is probably like 12 points lol) like I did last Monday night. And there is nothing wrong with doing what you like to do.

Yeah people are awesome like that freaky Stop the Insanity woman who will only eat things that come right from the ground. That’s just wonderful for you if it works for you. But that doesn’t cut it for me. I’m not really a craver of fried foods or French fries etc. But sweets, mmmmm. I will definitely limit it and be careful. But it’s a happy medium to where you won’t cheat and can follow.

I really think I’m figuring it out finally!

3:08 PM:

Well things are going really well! You know a plan is always fun at the beginning. But here is my goal this time. This isn’t a diet. This isn’t a program. This is a way of life that I will be doing. And I really can do it. I’m eating plenty of food and even foods I like. This is doable. And miraculously no cravings. I’m stoked!

WW Progress:


Things are going really good! I started on Monday. I’m going to weigh in next Thursday as I want to go to the meetings with Val.

I’m seriously excited. I get to eat so much food. That sounds bad but I think that is the key to it all. I think before I seriously would cheat because I was super hungry. I really think this is going to work for me!

Halloween 2009

Halloween Party @ Cathi’s

I so have to write about Halloween since it’s always been my favorite holiday! Cathi and I (Adam’s aunt who set us up) totally have a bond that way. She actually won the costume contest at work for her creepy ghost doll costume. She looked seriously creepy and had even decorated her desk all creepy. It was awesome.

She does an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G party too! We had so much fun, and luckily Adam didn’t drink as much this time. Just enough to be silly! We also went to see his grandma BEFORE the inebriation which is always very wise!

We went as Morticia and Gomez from the Addams family which was perfect because his father dressed up as Uncle Fester. It was quite appropriate! Here are some fun pics of us and his family @ that party:



My Family’s Halloween Party

Oh how I love the annual Halloween party with my family! It is seriously so much fun. This year was a special treat because I created a video of past Halloweens which I think everyone really enjoyed.

Debbie did some really fun games and we had pizza. The costumes were so fun! Yeah 4 Halloween!

Day 67

Wednesday, October 15, 2009


7:15 AM: 1 egg, 2 egg whites, fat free mozzarella cheese, honey nut cheerios, skim milk

Ok I’m not drinking on Diet Pepsi. I’m not allowed any more today and that’s it!

AND I HAVE TO EXERCISE TONIGHT!

And I need to keep writing in this notebook no matter what. I think the more I write, the better I stick to the program.

…………I just took the stairs to the upstairs bathroom. Its not like saving the world or anything, but every bit helps in saving the fatty!

11:05 AM: Fiber one bar, apple, pretzels

1:15 PM: So I’m cooking my beef and macaroni lean cuisine, but its torture! I already said no to pizza an hour ago, and now the leftovers were sitting right on top of my lunch bag! Rude.

I slowly raised the lid to take a peek at the deliciousness. It was as if the little pizza dudes were doing a dance and chanting ‘eat us Holly. You know you want a greasy bite!” Ha! I always say no to dancing/singing food.

*2 Hershey Kisses

*Fiber one bar, apple

*Chicken & veggies

*still no Pizza

Exercise

We are both sick. Taking night off again.

Day 68

Thursday, October 16, 2009


I’m getting frustrated. I did say I’d write the whole ugly truth, so here goes.

TODAY’S WEIGHT: 361

That’s one up from yesterday. I’m really frustrated people.

Nothing seems to be going right, at least with the weight situation.

I’m trying a water pill. Ugh I need some kind of direction but seriously no one seems to know the best way for me to lose weight.

One thing I really want to know is how many calories should I have on a daily basis. In my research and talking with people it all varies so much. Like Heather (Adam’s trainer) thinks I should have like 1200-1400. Others think for me that is a starvation diet which I kinda agree with. So it varies from 1200 to 2400 calories and that is a HUGE difference.

And this potion crap is so not working for me. I’m craving like crazy.

Yet Diane has lost 40 pounds. I’m so happy for her. I just wish I could find what works for me and I’m so sick of trying tons of things.

And now they are making tacos. Oh man, can’t I just be fat and happy? Lol obviously not!

Ugh this is so when I get frustrated. I just feel like why put forth so much effort when the reward is not that great.

Like tonight is Bonco night. There are always yummy treats and half time and treats the rest of the time. Would it really matter if I have it or not?

Ok so maybe I shouldn’t have picked today to be the time to look at the Frightmare pics when Adam’s family went. Really shouldn’t cry at work.

Adam’s family went and we couldn’t go because I’m too fat for Lagoon. OMG, yes I know how pathetic I am right now.

I promise I’m not so weepy and half self-pity parties every day-only every other day lol. They just happen sometimes though.

But it is my fault I got here and that I’m miserable. Can’t blame it on anyone else. I CAN do something about it.

I’m really trying to get healthy, I just can’t seem to find what works for me.

Foodwise Heather says I should be losing a pound a day. So why am I not?

*10:45: Fiber One bar, banana, 2 minutes

OH sheesh calm down and be patient crybaby.

*Coffee, Santa fe beans WW meal

Ok so attitude adjustment seriously needed here. I’m working on it. Sure just had lunch meeting where people are eating hamburgers and yummy fries and there is still pizza in the fridge, but I choose NOT to eat them. I can do this.

Wow I am peeing a lot but I haven’t had a Diet Pepsi yet. And I did start the water pill so we will see.

….I’m having a Diet Pepsi damnit!

3:22: Banana, almonds, fiber one bar

Day 69-71

Friday, October 17, 2009 – Sunday, October 18, 2009

Yikes! I forgot my notebook all weekend which is annoying.

We were still kinda sicky, but we did workout on Saturday.

Exercise (Saturday)

40 minutes cardio

25 minutes chest (weights)

I actually started a forum on Myspace about my caloric question. The consensus was to go at about 2200 calories and just keep what I’m doing and be PATIENT

WEIGHT LOST LAST WEEK:

2 POUNDS!


See so shut up McAffee and calm down! lolz

Today was crazy, I had to write little notes on a sticky as it just was so crazy. And I almost forgot my notebook today which would have been bad. Once I stop, I lose focus and its hard to get back.

BODY MEDIA DATA:

Calories Consumed: 2331 of 2200 (not too bad, but a little over)

5:00 PM: ½ banana, Fiber one bar, crackers

7:30: mmm yummy leftover turkey chilli (my future mother-in law loves me)

Well an okay day but we didn’t feel well and didn’t exercise which isn’t good. I know I can do better and need to have less Diet Pepsi.

10/12/09 Monday: Project 200, Day 65

Categories: project 200 pounds

Holy cow batman I wrote a lot yesterday!

WEIGHT UPDATES:

Saturday 10/10/09: 363

Sunday 10/11/09: 365

Monday: 10/12/09: 361

7:45 AM Breakfast:

1 cup honey nut cheerios, 1 cup skim milk, 1 egg, 2 egg whites, banana

11:38 AM Snack:

Fiber One Bar, 20 almonds

12:19 PM:

So I really think this notebook of mine is great and extremely helpful. I think the issue is that I really need to keep it up. I think it general it is extremely helpful because it keeps my focus on where it needs to be.

Yes I have work and my regular stuff, but this needs to be the huge focus – it just HAS to be.

So today is going well, no hiccups yet and no real temptations or anything which is nice. I am being careful not to have too many calories because we usually have a little more for dinner at family night then we do at home.

So I’m going to see how many calories I’ve had before I go so that I know how many I have left to deal with. Its all about planning and being aware!

1:40 PM:

Lean Cuisine (Rigitoni with meatballs), carrots, Italian dressing (fat free)

I’m doing really good. No cravings. Of course no one ordered pizza today-wahoo! And no one gave me donuts today so life is easy.

2:49 PM:

I’m proud of myself as I just took the stairs to use the ‘facilities’ upstairs instead of the ones on my level. Yeah ME!

4:10 PM:

Grapes, yogurt

7:30 PM:

2 cups turkey chilli, 1 cup regular chilli, 1 cornbread

Yikes what happened to how I was going to be careful about my calories tonight. Damn yummy chilli.

Night off for exercise. Peace out ya’ll

DAY 64 – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2009

11:10 AM

Well I’m starting something new. I’m keeping a notebook to track everything I do and eat, etc. Well not EVERYTHING. Certain disgusting or immoral activity will not be included-ha ha ha. (Sorry to disappoint lol)

BREAKFAST

2 egg whites, 1 egg, oatmeal, apple, & vitamins

Very acceptable breakfast! Perfect really. I’m hoping this notebook will help me. Something has got to! This chubbiness needs serious help.

YESTERDAY (SATURDAY) & TODAY (SUNDAY)

Yesterday was a blast! Most the kids (nieces & nephews & bro & sis-Thomas and Tasha) came to our place to decorate for Halloween. It’s a tradition that started with T & T and has branched out. It is so much fun. Adam was a dear and really helped me a lot preparing for the party. Of course there was a ton of cleaning to do! Then for the party we made cookie cutter sandwiches and a bunch of sugar cookies to decorate. We also had these really awesome jello molds that Adam ordered. One is a brain and the other a zombie. The brain I garnished with worms and gummy body parts. The zombie was so disgusting and colored with food coloring and was seriously flesh-colored. The kids were scared to eat it. It was so grossly awesome! So much fun! So the kids decorated, frosted cookies, and colored pictures. We had so much fun watching movies and seeing how many people we could fit on the couch! Hailey and Hannah were belching and Hailey was laughing so hard about it. Her laugh is seriously the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. It is this total gut loud laugh.

SNACK – 12:30 PM

Fiber One Bar, 50 calorie pretzel bag

AFTERNOON SNACK

Skipped (oops)

DINNER – 6:11 PM

Fajitas……mmmm!

I forgot to mention something so cute about Adam helping me yesterday. Not only was he adorable and helpful, but he got me flowers after running some last-minute errands. It was so sweet! Me is a lucky gal!

Then the boys all wanted to play Wow with him in the bedroom. I have a pic of them all watching him play. So cute! I will have to post that here.

Speaking of cute, today (Sunday) I went to Wheeler Farm with Laurie, Aaron, Max, and Hailey to take pictures of them. Max is doing a Reflections contest where the them is “beauty” so he wants to make a display of pictures of his family. So very cute. Those kids love animals. It was so much fun to see them.

The whole weekend was seriously awesome! Firdeay night we went with Melissa to haunted houses. It was nice to visit her, and although the houses are expensive, we had a good time. Adam had a blast teasing me and scaring me or watching how jumpy I am.

SNACK – 6:40 pm

Popcicle

8:45

Well I’ve done well today!

2 BAD THINGS:

One Diet Coke

Forgot my magic potion before lunch

GOOD THINGS:

Meals were pretty good

Exercised a lot!

EXERCISE

1 hour walking (light @ Wheeler Farm)

1 hour walking (moderate-workout video of 4 miles)

10:15 PM

I just got done doing another workout. I counted 1 hour today as exercise since we walked around really for 2 hours. It was light, but still something, but I knew I should do more. I plugged in the walking video in the bedroom. It bores me to death listening to her ducky voice, so I put on my iPod which made me dance and go way faster, so that is a major bonus.

BODY MEDIA (GOWEAR FIT) DATA

Calories Consumed: 1921 (Goal = 2200) Wahoo!

Calories Burned: 3986 (Goal = 3200) I’m awesome!

Difference (Calorie Defecit) = 2065!!! Whoa.

So I have to say I’m really proud of myself. I think maybe this notebook thing is helping as it is holding me accountable.

For example, I had a subway sandwich for lunch since I was running out of time on my way to take pictures of Max. I normally get 2 cookies which is an extra 400+ calories. I decided best not to. Kind of funny because I didn’t want to get it and have to write it down.

The thought actually crossed my mind that I could eat them and not write them down. That’s so digusting! Who will know? I will know. No more lies. No more excuses! I just want to be real and tell the total truth, no matter how ugly it may be.

I went to Walmart after taking the pictures to get more fruit & meals for lunches for the week. I was reminded of things I used to do. I used to get their packages of 3 chocolate éclairs. Or I’d get a couple king-sized candy bars at the checkout and some pop.

Did I not realize how many calories I was consuming? I mean why have I done this to myself? How did I let it get so bad?

I think of people at the gym sometimes. My perception has changed drastically. I use4d to just be so envious of those with healthy bodies, I thought it was easy for them or something.

That is simply not true. There are some who can eat what they want probably, but most have to work at it. They have the same cravings, they have just learned this thing called self-control. I guess I wish I could bottle that up and pull it out when I need it. I need to figure this out – what makes me eat and sabotage myself?

I know there were times I just felt sorry for myself. I couldn’t really dealt with the problems and heartaches I was allotted. Food was my only comfort and a way to reward my sorry self, or so I thought.

I really need to understand that its only momentary pleasure. It is not really helping me in the long run in any way.

And I’m worth it! I’m not sure I’ve always understood that. Ha ha, hello Loreal commercial.

But seriously my desire to be healthy has got to be stronger than my desire for yummy food.

HOW LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT TODAY IF I WAS HEALTHY:

  • More energy
  • My heelss wouldn’t hurt as much
  • Less back pain
  • Less calf pain
  • Would have been more active in general

ACTIVITIES I MIGHT HAVE DONE TODAY:

  • Bike ride
  • Hiking
  • Roller blading
  • Walking with Debbie
  • Soccer
  • Basketball
  • Racquetball
  • Wallyball
  • Jogging
  • Running with dog
  • Timpanogos Cave
  • Visiting more family (more energy)
  • Adam could have caught me in his arms (omg I’m cheesy!)
  • I could have had my honey give me a piggy-back ride (cuz right now I’m too much of a piggy to do it lolz)

 

 

 

 

Project 200: Wednesday (Day 60)

WEDDING!

I can’t believe we are getting married so soon! I know we have had a long engagement but suddenly it hit me how soon it is!

CONFESSION TIME:

Confession # 1:

Yesterday I was sick so I only exercised once, and not my two times.

Confession #2:

I didn’t keep track of everything I ate either, but I’m going to today!

TODAY’S FOOD:


JOURNAL MOMENTS:

PIZZA:

Someone ordered pizza. I hate them. Lol, not really but why is it I want something bad for me all the time? What is up with that. Like I just had my Weight Watcher’s entrée which was actually really good (the Santa Fe beans one is yummy with the sauce on it). So now I’m eating my veggies and fat free ranch and I’m pretending that these carrots are French fries. I realize that is not healthy but dangit I want unhealthy for some reason and chocolate.

DIET PEPSI:

I’ve had two today. Gotta stop now sheesh.

GYM:

Oh my! The best moment at the gym today was watching the hip hop dancers. It was so adorable! So this little old lady was there with her rollers in her hair and the hair net. And there she is in the hip hop class. Not only was it so cute seeing her try to keep up, but watching her wiggle her hips. Oh man it was just so cute. Gave me something to smile about!

EXERCISE:

SOCCER:

  • 45 minutes

CARDIO:

  • 20 minutes elliptical

WEIGHTS:

I kicked @$$ today!!! Seriously couldn’t walk after all of that. My goodness how do the Biggest Loser contestants do it?

WHAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:

Need the snacks to be healthier.

 

Project 200: Monday (Day 58)

Posted October 8, 2009 by hmcaffee
Categories: project 200 pounds

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:

So I decided something this morning. I’ve been pondering over it for many days. It has to do with cheats.

Since I have been struggling for months (years to be honest) with the whole roller coaster weight loss, I’ve decided I do not get a cheat until I reach 350 pounds.

This will be really hard for me as I so look forward to cheats on Saturday nights, but I think this will be a great motivation.

It will help me every day to be just a little better and keep exercising etc. I know I will want a cheat on Halloween, or around there, so that gives me ample time to get there.

CONFESSION TIME:

Confession # 1:

I just know I’m gonna be given a bunch of hail marys for this one (if I was Catholic anyway)……………..so this weekend Adam and I were so lazy. I was cramping all weekend and then we both have colds so we decided to not leave the house on Sunday. We didn’t workout, we didn’t see our family, we didn’t do nuffin’!

But the really bad thing is that we ordered those new pasta bowls from Dominos (or was it Pizza Hut who knows). They were yummy but I also got a Diet Coke and drank the entire 2 Liters of it. Wowsers!

(So now you can see how/why I came up with the NO CHEAT rule)

Confession #2:

I also didn’t wake up early this morning to exercise. On Mondays I exercise once, but it is in the mornings so now I have to exercise tonight and I think I’m going to do double duty since I’ve been slacking, so weights AND the walking workout

TODAY’S FOOD:


JOURNAL MOMENTS:

CORRECTING:

I can’t remember if I already blogged about this but I decided that weight that I have lost after it was recently gained is not really losing weight. It doesn’t really count like normal weight loss. I want to call it instead, correcting.

DIET PEPSI:

For have a moment today as I put my lunch in the fridge, those Diet Pepsis were smiling at me. I just smiled back and hurried and shut the door-I mean you have to be quick or they just latch onto you!

EXERCISE:

MORNING:

  • 35 minutes walking

EVENING:

(Night off)

GOOD TIMES:

I have a really good attitude today as far as what needs to be done. I’m not worrying about the past, I’m focusing on right now and what needs to be done.

The goal is to be 350 by Halloween. This is doable. How I will do that is eat right #1, and #2, exercise like crazy.

LET’S DO IT!

Project 200: Wed-Thurs (Day 53-54)

Posted October 2, 2009 by hmcaffee
Categories: project 200 pounds

SOCCER

So last night I was seriously peeved! Our record has been tainted! We are no longer the very best of the worst, we are now 2nd best of the worst lolz. Seriously I have no idea how that team was a beginning team and it was irritating me, especially when I heard they weren’t a new team. We seriously were killed. There was nothing we could do. Every single one of them an excellent ball handler. They would have like their whole team come down on us defense so you were trying to guard like 2-3 people and when they pass perfectly, you really just don’t even have a chance.

They eased up a little the 2nd half, but they were totally show-boating and being the pessimist poor-sport I totally called one guy on it and asked him if he shows off much. It was so funny but I’m seriously ashamed of myself for seriously being a poor sport. Whats the big deal anyway? We lost nearly every game last season. Well I don’t mind losing respectfully, but when your behind is served to you on a platter, well its just humiliating!
