First let me rant that some people have all the luck. That's all I'm going to say, I'm just a little green eyed monster at the moment, but back to the post at hand that I have been planning on writing today.
I've got roller coasters on my mind today. The actual ones at the amusement parks and the emotional ones. My life feels like one big roller coaster. I have my highs where you are high on life, the loops that turn your life upside down, the curly q's where you don't know which way is up, and the lows. Everyone must go through all these parts, but sometimes I feel like I have more lows and some people have more highs, but it wouldn't be a roller coaster without both. Sigh.
The other roller coasters I have in mind are the ones at the amusement parks. I have a little story to tell you know. Last summer mom and I went to Six Flags over Georgia. I love roller coasters. The visit was actually kind of depressing because while I was able to ride the coasters, the seats were very tight. On one of the coasters they were having trouble getting started because one of the seats wasn't right, it wasn't tight enough or wasn't locked or something, yeah that was me. It made me very upset because I thought for a second that I wouldn't be able to ride it because I was too fat for the seat. It makes me upset just talking about it, it makes me so depressed. It just wasn't a very happy trip and we ended up leaving relatively early.
My mom and I made a pact that if I could lose 20-30 lbs in the following year that we would get season tickets. Well mom I don't think I'm going to make that goal. I've maintained my weight in the past year, but there's still a few months until summer, so I guess there's still time to lose some weight. But it actually ok because I don't think that I'd have much time to go to Six Flags this summer. Either way my goal is the feel comfortable in the roller coaster seats again. I don't know at what weight or size that is, but I don't care. I just want to feel healthy and happy again.

Midterm Monday
Welp. I had a Neuro midterm this morning. I'm pretty sure that as Dr. S is grading it, he's going to think that I'm such an idiot. I just know that it wasn't great, I didn't get in the kind of studying I had wanted to get in. It was just a crazy weekend. I mean we had boards last week and then some of us had black belt on Saturday (we go to the middle of nowhere Alabama to do eye exams all day). Don't get me wrong, I love giving back to the community and providing services for those who don't have an eye doc, but I would have really liked to have had the entire weekend off.
Since boards have been out I have been eating well and exercising daily (at least getting in my 10,000 steps if I don't make it to the gym). But I'm still maintaining at my current weight. Actually I'm pretty sure I have gained since two weeks ago at the last official BL weigh in. Which makes me very nervous for weigh in tomorrow, I just don't want my group penalized because I can't lose weight. I don't get it, I don't get why my body just isn't doing anything. I'm literally just maintaining. I just have to give it time I guess. I know that I probably actually gained some weight during boards, and I have just lost that, but I'm ready to get down below 220, I haven't been able to do that. I just can't break it. But oh well. Time takes care of everything. I have the time and ability to really focus now on exercise and eating clean since we don't have any big projects or exams for a while.
On a more positive note, I am getting in at least 10,000 steps a day. Some of it is thanks to the elliptical but still. I'm going to have to up the daily goal to 15,000 steps pretty soon. I do a lot of sitting at school, so I just have to make sure that I get up and move more.
I'm re-reading Anne of Green Gables right now since I have extra time on my hands, and I thought I'd share some Lucy Maud Montgomery words of wisdom:

My name is shu10str...
... and I'm an emotional eater.
I know it's been a while since posting anything. I have had a lot going on lately and just didn't make time for some things this past week.
I had Part I boards on Tuesday and Wednesday this week; four sessions of 3.5 hr exams in two days. 500 questions on three years worth of school, eek! Just a teeny bit stressful. I admit that I didn't make the healthiest food choices or actually do much exercise outside of the occasional walk around the apartment complex this weekend. As a result I did not weigh in on Tuesday, partly because I didn't want to know my weight, partly due to stress, and partly due to the fact that it's spring break for everyone, so everyone just sent in their weights (I don't think everyone used the scale at the rec, which I think may have skewed the results slightly).
First off let me say that I am feeling a bit bitter and immature tonight, so take everything from here on out with a grain of salt. I don't know what I expected from this competition but it doesn't seem to be impressing me. I feel like the only thing I have gotten out of it in the past two weeks is group exercises with a trainer. I like the workouts and I feel sore the day after and I feel good, but that's about it. I don't feel a sense of group encouragement and I guess I can take some blame for that too by being MIA the past 5 or 6 days. The gold team is beating us by 2x in the weight department, which is another thing that is frustrating me... I am happy for those people that are losing weight, but I think that over 10 lbs in two weeks is a little excessive, and not healthy. I can't say anything because I don't know the circumstances but I saw everyone at orientation and I don't think anyone was that obese that two weeks would cause such a weight loss, but I don't know. I guess it's possible that this person hasn't exercised or worked out before and that a total re-haul of their life has given them an edge, it just doesn't seem like it's possible unless you were actually on the show working out for several hours a day and completely over-hauling your diet. But whatever, again I don't know the circumstances and I'm not here to judge.
I guess that's where some of my frustration is stemming from though. That I put my all into workouts and eating healthy and I only lost less than a pound in the first week and others are losing six times what I did. I feel like I have to work ten times more to lose less weight. I'm just frustrated (gosh how many times can I use that word tonight). In the past several months I have eaten pretty well. I don't eat completely clean, but I stay within my calorie goals for the most part. Since I started the biggest loser I haven't binged, which is my problem. I am an emotional eater, when I stress or am unhappy or want to celebrate, I turn to food. I know this is my problem, but I haven't binged in the past two weeks, as badly as I have wanted to I didn't. Like I said earlier, this week I haven't made the best choices, but I haven't gone crazy either. I don't know what I can possibly do. I know that everyone loses weight at their own speed, but... dang can't I get in on this too?!
Well that's my sad little pity party for the night. I just have to keep working hard and eating healthy and maybe I'll get there. One day.
***edit*** in the report of weekly winners, we got total weight loss of the winner and % total weight loss, and the biggest loser so far has lost 0.042%, 13.4lbs, which if you calculate it, comes to about 320 lbs, so good for them! I'm proud and a bit jealous, but honestly I feel better knowing that it wasn't someone at 180 lbs that was losing 13 lbs in two weeks.

Happy Hump Day
I didn't post anything yesterday, and for that I apologize. Yesterday was weigh in day and frankly I was pretty disappointed and frustrated and exhausted, so I decided I wasn't in the best state of mind to post anything.
So at weigh in... I lost 0.8 lbs. That's it. Honestly I was hoping for more, considering the exercise I had been doing for the previous days and the fact that I was under my calorie intake each day. I had high expectations and I didn't quite make it. I don't know if I just really need to up my exercise, because I really don't think what I'm eating is bad, or if I'm just under a lot of stress with boards coming up and that is causing me to retain weight or what! Sigh. But anyway last night I skipped exercise, and went to bed early so there really wasn't anything for me to talk about. Today on the other hand is a different case.
Today I had primary care in the morning and community eye care in the afternoon. Busy busy busy! After that I had a group workout at the gym with the green team. Five of us attended this time, which means over half our group wasn't there. We need to get on them and get them coming to the gym with us. We did the same routine today that we did on Friday, but with 20 reps instead of 15. Let me just say that I really hate push ups and jumping jacks. If we finish a set before everyone else in the group we have to do jumping jacks before we move on to the next set. So we did 30 minutes of that (3 circuits of 20 reps), and then 30 minutes of cardio (I did the elliptical).
Overall, according to my fitbit, I walked over 15,000 steps today! Which is about 3.5 miles. AND I climbed 16 flights of stairs! Woot woot! Go ME!!! I'm pretty excited about that.
To view my meal plan go to myfitnesspal at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/shu10str
I had a minor set back yesterday mentally, but today I'm back to pushing myself to do better and go farther and work harder. Motivation comes from within. You get out what you put in. I can do it. Just repeat that to yourself all the time. I know that I say "I can't" way too often and I'm trying to get out of that habit. Now it's "I can"!

Manic Mondays
Well today wasn't really manic at all. It was nice because my afternoon lab got moved to after boards and I got some studying in and a workout before our presentation. It would have been better if more than five of us had shown up to the presentation. Maybe if they had a door prize to win at each one, more participants would show up. Oh well, at least I am less scared to try a spinning class... maybe.
I have been tracking my weight on my own at home, but my scale is different than the one at the rec center. Mine says that I am down a little bit of weight, but tomorrow will tell and I will share after that. I was excited earlier today but right now I just feel a bit exhausted. It probably is just the stress from boards. I just want to hole up somewhere away from the world until next Thursday when it is all over. But you didn't come here to be brought down by me, you came here to be motivated. I'm trying to keep myself motivated. While working out this weekend at home, I turned myself into a drill sergeant, pushing myself to continue and push through. We have to be our own biggest cheerleader.
Ok well enough of that. I don't have a daily challenge to post today... Sorry, I didn't get one in my email either so we are both out of luck. But I personally challenged myself to not use the elevators at school. As a result my fitbit tells me that I climbed a total 24 floors today (the equivalent of the La Danta Pyramid). How about that?!
Exercise:
30 minutes on the elliptical
Strength training, nautilus equipment including: shoulder press, chest press, calf raises, squats, and much more.
I would have really liked to have had a group workout or even just a personal one on one workout today. I pushed through, but I feel like I could have done better, but I got out there and did something, so for that I am proud.
Meal plan:
Breakfast: fried egg, buttered multigrain english muffin, one slice bacon, banana
Snack am: banana
Lunch: tortellini, cucumber, mini babybel cheese
Snack pm: almonds
Dinner: salmon, edamame, crisp pink apple, cherry sugar free popsicle
Tune in tomorrow to see how I made it through the first weigh in.

Saturday Sore day
Man, am I sore today. Yesterday's workout really worked me out... LOL, but seriously. I love feeling sore because it just means that I have pushed my body to do something that it doesn't normally do and broke down some muscle cells and they are going to repair themselves to become bigger and better and stronger and hopefully burn some fat.
Today I went to zumba. I haven't done a zumba class in, what feels like, forever. I love Kelly, she has so much energy and makes that hour go by so fast and she makes it so fun you don't feel like you are exercising, well at least until she has you doing squats, then you realize that this is exercise not just a dance class!
On top of that was the daily challenge:
50 jumping jacks (eh, ok, I just hate them)
4 sets of 30 sec wall sits (OUCH! my legs are seriously killing me now)
8 glasses of water (I feel like I have to pee all the time! TMI? sorry...)
Mean plan for the day:
Breakfast: fried egg on a multigrain english muffin with butter and two slices of bacon, and coffee
Snack am: mini babybel cheese
Lunch: leftover salmon and broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots
Snack pm: mini babybel cheese
Dinner: Tortellini and spinach salad with cucumber and grape tomatoes and raspberry vinaigrette. (I really had a craving for pizza tonight, so I thought the tortellini would be a good choice with it's sauce and cheese, even if it isn't the most "clean" recipe out there. For 417 calories a serving you can't beat it)
Dessert: peanut m&m (I found two fun size bags while putting my groceries away this week, now they are all gone, so no more sweets)
I was thinking that tomorrow might be a rest and repair day, but I have a weigh in on Tuesday. Now I'm thinking that I may need to get a workout in tomorrow. I just don't want to over do it early on. We have another group workout on Monday. I guess I just want this first weigh in to go over well. I want to have lost something.
Welp I just looked at my calendar and we have a biggest loser presentation on Monday at 6 so we may not get that group workout in. I think what I'll do is wii zumba and maybe 30 day shred at home tomorrow and then hit up the gym on Monday before the presentation (I'll have to email our group trainer and see if we can change our workout time on Monday...). See you tomorrow.

Go Team Green
We had our first group workout tonight, and had a general daily challenge.
The daily challenge for all the participants was to do 25 push ups. It doesn't matter what form you do it in: on your toes, on your knees, against the wall. It doesn't matter how many you do at one time: space them out or do them all at one time. Well I got in 60 pushups! Thanks to my group workout.
So for our workout, we had 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes strength training. The strength training was done in circuits of 15 reps for each activity, and we did 4 circuits.
15-20 push ups
15-20 wall squats
15-20 bicep curls
15-20 dumbbell front raise
15-20 crunches
15-20 super"wo"man
Mean plan for today:
Breakfast: multigrain cheerios with lowfat milk
Snack: mini babybel cheese
Lunch: Pb&j with pink grapefruit and 1 cup lowfat milk
Snack: fiber one 90 calorie brownie
Dinner: salmon and broccoli, cauliflower, & carrots
Dessert: snack size peanut m&m's
Our trainer has challenged us to do a uFit class this weekend and then we have our next group workout on Monday.

Operation Biggest Loser
I had orientation and my first weigh in with the UAB Rec Center's Biggest Loser 2013. There are nine people on each team.
I am on team Green (how appropriate)! Initial weight: 229.8 lbs. First group workout may be on Friday, we'll see. I'll be weighing in every Tuesday. We will be working out as a group every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:30pm. On the other days I'm going to try to do zumba at home or Kelly's Saturday zumba class.
These first two weeks are honestly going to be the hardest because I'm under a tremendous amount of stress that would normally cause me to talk myself out of exercising and eating right. It's so easy to say that I have to study and I don't have time to work out or make a healthy dinner, but it's something I have to do for me.
Part I boards are coming up on March 19th and 20th, so keep me in your prayers to help me through and keep me motivated with everything I have going on. And I promise to keep you updated at least once a week with everything (weight, achievements, set-backs, everything!), so tune in every Tuesday for reports.

It's so easy to say that I have to study and I don't have time to work out or make a healthy dinner, but it's something I have to do for me.
Part I boards are coming up on March 19th and 20th, so keep me in your prayers to help me through and keep me motivated with everything I have going on. And I promise to keep you updated at least once a week with everything (weight, achievements, set-backs, everything!), so tune in every Tuesday for reports.
