My entry for Friday:
So! I changed my goal weight. Here's why:
It was getting to be a bit depressing, trying to lose over a hundred pounds, and barely seeing any substantial changes. While my ultimate goal weight is still 160 (or a muscular 170), seeing the drops a bit clearer on my weight tracker feels a lot better. Once I reach 250, I'll readjust my goal weight on the tracker, but until then, this is where I'm at.
I got to the gym this morning, yay! Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling very motivated. Still, I put in my time on the elliptical, and did some work with the weight machines-- I'm working my way back up! Focusing on slow, steady muscle gain, slowly increasing the weight/resistance on the machines I've been using. Back when I kick-boxed, I was able to leg press over 350 lbs, and I want to be there again. I also want to build up my arms, so I've been doing lots of kettle bell snaps and lifts.
In the interest of cardio, I tried doing some jumping jacks-- OUCH! The sports bra I was wearing did practically nothing ;-; tmi, I know, but....owwwwww. Does anyone know of any super-bras? Or other tips? I really want to get back into calisthenics and aerobics, but not when it's a painful experience.
Anyways... I went to the dining hall for breakfast today, kept my calories fairly low by choosing baked apples instead of a muffin, only getting around a half cup of eggs, and a smoothie. As for the rest of my calories, you can take a look at my food entry for today.
On to the rest of the day! I’m going to spend some time with WB, bake him a pie, and watch some movies.
Love to all of you,

Sunday Entry:
Today was tough….not so much foodwise, as emotionally. Nine years ago, my beloved father passed away after losing his battle to pancreatic cancer. I miss him every day, but today was especially tough. WB and I went out to a local Indian restaurant in his honor-- it’s a tradition of my family. Despite growing up in Halifax, England, my father had a deep appreciation for spicy food, especially Punjabi Indian food! Perhaps I over indulged a bit (saag paneer is a favorite), but I did turn down gulab jamun (sweet dough balls fried in rosewater) and resisted going back to the buffet. Besides, I skipped out on dinner and had eggplant for breakfast, so not the worst day all things considered.
I am currently in the process of packing up my life to move to French House, and as someone who has never moved before, it’s a bit intimidating! Still, got some books and cassette tapes packed away (yes, I still listen to cassettes! lol), then went to the gym with a friend. Put in plenty of time there! Well, more cardio than usual. I tried out the recumbent bike for the first time in years, found it was the perfect machine to use while also scrolling through texts. Useful information! Especially considering I biked for around 10km (according to the bike, which uses metric apparently?).
Now, I’m relaxing in bed, doing my reading for class tomorrow, and scrolling through FS. I really want to get on the LCHF train, so right now I’m doing my research. Tomorrow, if I have the time, I’m going to try and make some coconut flour and psyllium husk flat breads. They look fairly yummy, but I’m not convinced yet!
Well, that’s all I’m going to write for now, as not much more is happening atm. Best of luck to all of you, and please, if you haven’t already, send me a buddy request! I love seeing how everyone is doing, and learning new diet tips.
May your stomachs shrink and your diets become easy,
