Welcome to my 2006 Log: Almost There! - Transformation from 282 to 125 lbs

About this Log

This log is hopefully what will be the final chapters in my long journey from 282.5 lbs of fatness to my goal 125 lbs of fitness (of course, after that, I still won't be done but will make a new goal ). I have created this log to track my progress toward my quest to meet my goal weight this year - hopefully in time for final pictures in the IMPC! The log will start with the kick-off of the IMPC on April 1st and run throughout the competition end Nov 18th and the end of 2006. I have chosen to put my diet, supplementation, workout, and other information/ramblings all in one log for ease of maintenance and future reference. I plan to update daily and provide as much information as possible. Although I am keeping this log to help me track progress and stay motivated by being accountable for reporting my efforts, I also hope that some may find it useful or at least mildly amusing at times So feel free to comment, suggest, ask questions or even give me crap (when deserved) - I am always open to trying anything to make this log and/or my training/diet better. Thanks for visting and hope you will stick around!


About Me :girl:



Stats:
Female
Age:31
Height: 5’ 4” (and a half!)
Weight on April 1, 2006: 168
BF on April 1, 2006: 32.2% (home scale, not sure this is accurate, plan to get caliper tested again, was about 30% by caliper in February)

History:
On Nov 4, 2004 I was 282.5 lbs due to 2 kids and sedentary lifestyle over 10 yrs. I was turning 30 yrs old that month and decided enough was enough! I set a goal to lose 100 lbs by my 31st birthday. I started with Jazzercise and workout DVDs until it became a habit and I enjoyed it, then I moved to a healthy diet (1200-1400 cals, low fat), and finally I joined gym. I met my goal and began to incorporate weight training. Thanks to knowledge and advice from some friends and from BB.com, I improved my diet, workouts and supplementation toward the end of 2005. So far in 2006 I have continued cleaning up my diet, experimenting with supplementation and moved from high rep low weight on machines, to heavy lifting with free weights. These recent changes have brought me out of from my weight-loss plateau, changed my shape and most importantly, given me renewed enthusiasm, determination and

Went with Stim-X this morning instead of AMP for my morning cardio. Awesome energy, partly from Stim-X and partly from sleep! Actually got about 7.5 hours! Yay! No new sides to report.


Workout:
Cardio - Step Class - 60 min
Awesome workout today! Did single and double step routines, some weights and abs. Even though the routine was the same, it felt easy today, even the pushups! Had to do high impact versions to keep up the intensity but it was great. Next Sat they are having an extended class 1.5-2 hrs long so I am really looking forward to that if I can make it.


Other:
Great day today. Went to the beach which was really nice and much more relaxing than anticipated. My youngest took a nap under an umbrella so I got to lay in the sun for a couple hours and it was so peaceful I almost fell asleep!

Saw a flyer at the gym for an 8K run on April 15th a few minutes from my house and I am thinking about participating. It is a flat double loop along the river (and hopefully shady) with 1st one 2 miles and second is 3 miles. Of course, I have only run that far once and it was on a treadmill in the A/C so my only goal would be to finish and do as best as I can. Of course, bringing this home to Hubby only made him more convinced that I am OCD, ADHD or crazy - or all of the above! LOL

Ate a little more than usual today but I think I burned quite a bit so all should be good. Besides, I was hungry! Had a very yummy dinner too, will be doing that one again...at least until I see uHockey's recipies .

Doses/Sides:
AMP(2)
MP(4)

Nothing new to report. Both products working great! Expecting my sample of Basic Cuts to arrive any day now (courtesy of FitNFirm - thanks!). Plan to try them out and report on results here.


Workout:
Cardio - Running - 3.6 miles - ~40 min
Awesome workout!!! Couldn't get to the gym so I ran in my neighborhood and it was HOT! After 40 min sweating to death (but enjoying it!) my pedometer said I only went 1.68 miles!! I drove the route with the car later and it was actually 3.6 miles. I was relieved! I know I don't pace myself as well as with the treadmill where you can see your time/distance/pace but I knew I wasn't THAT slow! LOL Since my schedule will vary this week and I may be short on workout time, I will likely add more running so I can get the most "bang for my buck" out of my cardio sessions. Also, I still want to try to run in the 8K next Sat if time/family committments allow.


Other:
Shrinking Girl! - Finally went shopping for some smaller clothes! Yay!!!Especially happy to get some tank tops which are returning to my wardrobe after a 10 year hiatus! It is wonderful to be able to actually buy and feel comfortable in clothes that are appropriate and comfortable for the weather. And of course, had to get more workout gear - can never have enough! Well, unless you like doing laundry 24/7!!

IMPC - Well, after much harassment from FitNFirm and Spaceclown ...I am officially going to enter the IMPC and so is Spaceclown, because he promised so if he doesn't I will kick his ass! (ok well, I will try and then get FitNFirm to tag team him with me! ) I am not doing it to win but to have a long term goal to keep me motivated. Since it is the "Most Improved" it is really a challenge against myself to see how far I can go before Nov. This is pwrfect timing because November 4th is my 1 year anniversary of my 100 lb loss and 2 yrs since I started my weight-loss/transformation journey!! It is also my birthday month so it would be a great present for me to have made some signifigant changes by then and be close to my goal! I am VERY excited about it and although I am not looking forward to posting pics, I am looking forward to conquering yet another fear and getting over it! My new motto is to focus on my potential, not my flaws. Which brings me to my next topic....

Progress Pics/Stats, etc. - Yes, I have pics. No, I haven't posted any of them for the reasons mentioned above (I am a wimp!) and because I wanted to see if they showed a difference. BUT..**insert dramatic drumroll here** that is going to change very soon! Since this is week 6 of 7 and I have to post my IMPC pics before next week, I am going to be posting my progress pics, measurements, etc. within the next week or so. If there is a significant change in the last week I will report it and possibly update pics/measurements.

Next Log - Still not sure about next log. IMPC encourages posting training and nutrition there or a log so not sure if I will just start a new log here and duplicate over there or what. Depending on how the sample works, I may try Basic Cuts and I definitely want to try Xceed. Will likely continue using AMP and Stim-X on and off.

Weight/BF:
My scale did something very interesting today ...we'll see if this continues and if so I will post an update. Also going to try to get my bodyfat measured by caliper at the gym next time I go.

Diet Summary: (details at end of post)
Missing - Didn't record in time and can't retrieve from program I was using

Doses/Sides:
Stim-X(2)
MP(4)
Took an early afternoon dose of Stim-X to keep me going out of necessity. Feeling a little bit exhausted today after trying to get caught up last night on my huge to-do lists for home and work, etc. Seems to be working because I am still awake and earlier I almost fell asleep at my keyboard!! LOL Hopefully if I finish everything tonight I can try out Basic Cuts tommorrow.

Workout:
OFF - Had to take an off day today due to family stuff. Trying to catch up on everything around the house and get everything in order before Hubby goes off on his trip. I am dying to get back in the weight room - it has been TOO long!!!

Other:
Realized late yesterday that I had to take my IMPC and progress pics because Hubby is taking the camera on Wed and no chance to do it today or tommorrow with family schedule! But I got them done and am working on getting them together to post along with measurements. Hopefully tonight, or tommorrow at latest. I want to get everything out there before the week turns crazy!

Dawn, what is the lowest weight you have been as an adult?

I must say for as big as you were your arms are firming up nicely!

stonecoldtruth

I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are to the rest of us. You've made an amazing transformation, so much so that I literally cannot fathom how the person you are is the same person you used to be.

I wish you the best of luck with all of your future weight loss ventures and anything else you choose to set your mind to.

Didn't do Basic Cuts today because I wasn't sure if I could get to the gym and didn't want to waste it! No new sides.

Workout:
OFF - Had to take an off day again today due to family and work responsibilities/issues. This weeks schedule is not looking good but I am going to do my best to squeeze in as much as I can. Not working out is HARD!!! I am going crazy without my fix!! Ahhh!! I guess I really am an addict..but I think that is a good thing! I will do my best to be creative. If I have to, I will run with one of the rugrats on his bike and push the other one in a stroller..or I could always bench press them...LOL

Other:
A bit overwhelmed lately but trying to get caught up on everything and stay focused on getting back on track instead of getting discouraged about missing like I usually do. Although my diets and exercise are a priority, my family comes first and of course you've got to keep your job if you want to keep eating, going to the gym or buying supplements! Having roof over your head is also important ..lol

Although I am a bit behind posting diet and such, I did finally get my before/current pics and progress charts/pics up and put my IMPC pics in before Hubby leaves tommorrow and the chaos factor in my life increases exponentially!

Again, I didn't do Basic Cuts today because I wasn't sure if I could get to the gym and didn't want to waste it! Will shoot for tommorrow. No new sides. Very little appetite as usual from Stim-X.

Workout:
Weights - Legs and Abs
Good workout but it had definitely been too long since last lift and especially since last time doing legs. I was happy that I did increase weights 10 lbs on deadlifts did start squats 10 lbs higher and added 10 on each of the 2 sets after. I am still pushing to improve the squats as it doesn't seem right to me that I can deadlift 110 lbs but max out at 80 on squats and only on last set? I did add leg presses which I haven't done in ages but was disappointed. I only did 182 and I used to do 170 when I first started going ot the gym last year. Oh well, I pushed myself despite no sleep and plan to just keep on pushing until I can do more! Plan to look at my routine this weekend and switch things around abit and maybe add more cardio. Besides, I have to step it up a notch now for IMPC - the competition is going to be stiff and Spaceclown is already talking enough smack for all of us! LOL

Other:
Really tired today. Didn't sleep last night due to up late with my little one and then working and getting ready for hubby leaving on his trip which started today. So it is just me and the rugrats until Monday late. If there are any single moms out there reading this, I have to say that I give you a LOT of respect! I don't know how you do everything!

New Tracking Software - After getting recommendation from FnF a while back on the SW she uses, I finally went a head and got it last night and I have to say, it is awesome! Can't wait to get it all setup! Hopefully it will make me take less time tracking things on 3 different spresdsheets and make hubby happy that it takes less time. Anyway, if you fill out a short survey, they email you a $5 off code - here is the link and thanks again to FitnFim! http://www.weightbydate.com/pro_overview.htm

BF: 29.5% BF (Down 2.7% from last weigh in, Down 2.9% from start!!)



Doses/Sides:
Basic Cuts (4)
MP(4)
Tried Basic Cuts for the first time today and I have to say I am impressed! Took 2 caps in the AM and 2 about 1 hr before working out at 5:30 pm. I had an overall good feeling, great energy and no sides other than being thirsty. Not sure if others would agree but to me, if I had to compare, the feeling was more similar to AMP than to Stim-X but perhaps a little milder. It would be interesting to see if it would continue to give good results after longer term use. It is certainly priced nicely for frequent use. Hmmm...maybe my next stack will be Basic Cuts and Xceed? Anyone have any thoughts on anything else that would stack well with that since I won't be doing MP anymore? Of course, I will throw in AMP and Stim-X on occasion for variety.

Workout:
AWESOME! I have to take back my complaint from my earlier post. This class was excellent! Apparently the last time I went was when they first offered it and they were going easy. This time was true cardio kickboxing. Music was twice as fast as well as intensity. Added optional moves to get even higher intensity and felt like I was running the entire class! She even had us grunting out loud when punching under threat of extra squats if we were too quiet!! LOL Funny thing is, it actually does make you punch harder and kick higher! Unfortunately I did not know were doing "power jumproping" intervals and I was not wearing the right equipment :EEK: ...oops..lol..live and learn. I hope to take this class again next week, I am sore all over - love it!!!!

Other:
Trying out my new SW thanks to FitNFirm - hope she doesn't mind the copycat! I think it is working out great so far. I was very excited to see it predict that I will make my goal of 125 in October based on my current average loss of 1.6 lbs a week. I know it may not happen but it was encouraging and I am going to do my best to try to make it by November...just in time for the final IMPC pics!! That would be cool. I also hope to go over my workout this weekend and revamp it. I feel like i have been slacking and it is time to step it up a notch and get aggressive!


Diet:

Started tracking my water intake as I think that is part of my stalling on losing last week.

Sides:
Nothing new to report. Took 1 Stim-X in am and one in afternoon for pre-workout.

Workout:
OFF - Rushed around to get dinner and kids ready got to the gym and...surprise!..the kids area closes early on Fridays. So not only did I have no gym but 2 very upset boys who were looking forward to playing on the cool jungle gym type equipment they have there. By the time everyone was all settled down it was time for bath and bed and...well, if you have kids you know how that goes. So I am finishing this log and going to bed and hope to make it to tommorrow's extra long cardio class in the morning.
Shoudl be interesting to see what it is as it will be a mix of different instructors and such.

Other:
Very long day today, just really happy that it's Friday - finally!

One nice thing is I did get some flowers delivered from Hubby which was very sweet Just to make sure he misses me while he is gone, I sent him some pictures, one of which was the before and current. He admitted he was shocked looking at them side by side as I was when I put it together. It's funny how you just don't notice the changes (bad or good) when they are right in front of you every day. Of course, he now also appreciates my new, much smaller wardrobe and is now making suggestions or plans to buy things he feels I should add to it...too funny. I'm pretty sure I will be getting another little t-shirt from this trip...lol..but hey, if he likes it and it makes him like the idea of me spending time at the gym, I'm in. Whatever it takes, right? LOL
