Wednesday, February 4, 2009Well I'm still so motivated. Today we went somewhere for lunch, but luckily it was a healthy place. I had to be extra careful today because its our day off from the gym so I didn't want to pack on too many calories.
I am SO proud of myself!!!! I just got to keep it going. My goal was 2 pounds, but I would seriously love to lose 5 pounds by Saturday. We'll see how it goes!

I’m Not the Biggest Loser?????
Wednesday, February 4, 2009:So after our workout last night Adam mentions to me that I should weight myself this morning just to kind of see how I’m doing. I was stoked to hear him say this because typically he believes you should only weigh once a week. So I was very excited to weigh in, especially after another tough work out last night and after watching the Biggest Loser.
So this morning I leaped onto that scale! Show me the weight loss! I’m happy to say that I have lost 2 ½ pounds so far. But soon thereafter, disappointment crept in. I think I was comparing myself to the folks on the Biggest Loser and how my sister had lost 10. I thought about how I’ve exercised really hard every day and am being so much better about nutrition, so for a few minutes I was rather melancholy.
So I had to slap myself silly to get me to wake up! Sheesh, I only started this thing Saturday afternoon, so its almost a pound a day that I have lost. I am crazy to expect more than that. This IS great. Whats the saying-Rome wasn’t built in a day? There is so much truth to that. Plus, I can’t compare myself to the people on the Biggest Loser. It is their full time job to lose weight. They work out for hours and hours as they are away from their jobs and normal obligations. You can’t expect yourself to lose like they do. It just doesn’t happen! And how impatient am I! Sheesh. I need to work on this, and not get angry and frustrated and sabotage my efforts. My goal is 8-10 pounds a month, so having already lost 2 ½ in just a few short days is well on the way!
You really have to reteach yourself in many ways. Reprogram that brain of yours. Be happy about every small success, because in the long run they will be huge! Just need to keep at it and be patient

Bodybugg Results - Day Two!!!!
Monday, February 2, 2009
Wahoo! I have to not look at the Calories burned because that is so hard to meet. I just need to focus on the DEFECIT! Wahoo. The goal is for it to be 1000 calories and it is!!! Wahoo. I'm waiting to weigh in until Saturday. I'm so focused and so motivated!Monday, February 2, 2009
Bodybugg Results Day 1
So below is the main graph. I met my target goal! If I do this every day this week then I should at least lose 2 pounds.
Line 1-This is the target amount of calories you want to burn each day
Line 2-This is the target amount of calories you should consume (or stay under amount)
Line 3-This is your defecit. You want it to be DEFECIT (means you have burned more than you consumed)
NUTRITION:
Kudos to me! I did a good job!NUTRIENTS:
Hmm, this gives one some perspective. I need to lower the cholesterol and fat and sodium and make the fiber higher!STEPS
So this is really cool! Great job.
OVERALL:
I think I did really great :) I did weigh myself and as promised to my boyfriend since I didn't lose 2 pounds last week I have to not consume any diet soda! Bummer! Hello water and coffee lol. But I'm positive I will lose weight this week. Since I started on Saturday I will actually wait until then to weigh again and hopefully I will have met my 2 pound goal!
My Bodybugg and Me
Saturday, January 31, 2009:
Well today I got my Valentines Day/1 Year Anniversary present early J I got the Bodybugg I’ve been drooling over for a while now. I’d actually seen it at the gym but had no idea what it was. Then Heather (Adam’s trainer) told me about it. She definitely had many reasons to recommend it to me. She knows that I struggle with the food part of things and sometimes lately even working out. I think I like it for different reasons then she had intended, but I’ll get to that later.
I wanted to get it Friday night actually when we went to the gym, but a manager apparently needs to be there. I was highly annoyed but worked out hard anyway without it. So we got it Saturday afternoon when Adam had the trainer. It has to be charged etc, so I couldn’t use it yet. I was antsy to say the least. I even tried to sneak off early to get my greedy hands on it and start reading the user’s manual, but Heather caught me and made me get back to my back workout. So I spent the afternoon/early evening figuring it all out and charging it up. I couldn’t wait to start using it.
Sunday, February 1, 2009 - Day One with Bodybugg system:
So today was my first official full day with the Bodybugg. It is really cool and I have to say I’m very pleased thus far. MORE than pleased. Seriously, I haven’t been so excited about a “diet” ever. But before I go off on that, I should probably explain the system to those who maybe don’t know what it does exactly.
In a nutshell, it tracks how many calories you burn throughout the day. When you sleep, when you clean, when you exercise, everything! I can’t tell you how cool this is. So anyway the point is, in order to lose weight you really need to burn more calories throughout the day than you take in. So this helps you manage all that.
So the first thing is you register it and charge it up. Then you go to the website and fill out a bunch of questions etc. You determine how much weight you want to lose and how quickly. Then it gives you some targets. You can also say how much you want to exercise etc.
So for example I put that in 12 weeks I want to lose 30 pounds, so I want to lose 2 pounds a week. So in order to do that I need to consume no more than 3050 calories and my target amount of calories to burn is 4050 calories. So I wear this thing on my arm and it tracks how many calories I burn, and its 90% effective. Then you track the food you eat. Now its not required, but highly recommended it so I’m doing it. And its easy. You just go to the website and click one button. Then you can type in the food and it finds it. I’ve just been doing that after each meal, but you can do it at night etc. I just like to update it more frequently. You only have to charge the thing every 5-7 days. Then, whenever you want, you can connect it so that the mechanism on your arm is updated on the website. That only takes seconds! So at any time you can see where you are that day for your goal.
You have all kinds of tools, even workouts to help you. Its seriously awesome! And this last month they had a special where a display is free-which is normally 100 just on its own. So you can easily synch it to the armband and it actually displays a lot of information. You can see how many steps, how many calories, etc that the armband is tracking. You can wear that as a watch or kind of as a pin. Its seriously so cool!
I really really dig this concept. It really helped me today and that is something! I was wondering why it is working so well, and why I’m so excited over it, and I think a big thing is because you are so AWARE of it. I mean here you are wearing this thing on your arm (you can wear it under a shirt, and it doesn’t hurt or anything) and you have a watch on displaying how many calories you have burned. So its constantly on your mind. Then at the gym I was so incredibly stoked! I couldn’t wait to see the actual number of how many calories I burned. At the gym, those machines are never accurate for me. Also, I really wanted to see the difference in some of the workouts, especially when it comes to cardio. In other words, is the Precor elliptical better or the other elliptical machines? Do I burn more jogging/walking on treadmill? How much do I burn on the stairmaster? Its all very very interesting to me.
And here is another great thing. You actually WANT to see the calories go up in how much you are burning. So you are EXCITED about the gym. How often does that happen?
I feel like I just really have to make this work. I know I’ve tried many many different things and gotten excited only to fall and fail. But none of that matters. All that matters is now. I have found a valuable thing and I need to keep using it. Keep getting excited about it. Of course I will have a bad day, but I just need to keep stepping forward. That is the point of it all.
I’m just so excited to make this work. I’ve tried so many things and tried so hard. I want to make something happen this time. I want to get to that 300 mark! I’m willing to work hard. I see now how much work is involved, and I’m going to do it. Let me tell you, at the gym, it really kicked my butt today, I was sweating like crazy. It wasn’t easy hitting my goal mark of calories I needed to burn. But its so going to be worth it! Think of that wedding dress!
