Burn 100 Calories NOW!

Hey!

If you read my post yesterday, you know I was looking for a way to burn some calories that wouldn't hurt my knees too bad.  Well I was on pinterest like most of the day yesterday.. i was SO bored!!! And ended up stumbling upon this pin on how to Burn 100 Calories .  So I tried it!
It was easy enough to do... took about 10 minutes. and hey! I burnt some calories. Rock on!
I wasn't sure exactly what the "long jump" was so i didn't do it.  If you know what it is do it. If you don't, then substitute it for something else or leave it out. And then do another exercise later to replace it.  Just do what you can :)

Also if you didn't know, it takes 3,500 calories to lose a pound. So if you do this once a day... you can lose almost a pound a month. That doesn't take in any extra exercises you do, or if you are cutting any calories. But every little bit helps right?
And plus, you could always do it once in the morning and once at night.  :)

Weight loss

Hey guys.  I have been wanting to lose weight for years now. And everytime I try, I can lose about 5 lbs and then I gain it right back. Cutting calories just doesn't seem to work that well for me.
And a lot of exercises I can't do, because i have bad arthritis in my knees, so some of the leg exercises i want to do, hurt too bad.  And sometimes I wanna push through the pain, but I've read, that its not a great idea.  I could injure them further.
I also read it's best to make yourself SMALL weight loss goals, so you don't try so hard and when you don't reach your goal, you give up.  So I made my goal 5 lbs in a month. Which I know is do-able.  I just need help getting there.

I 'm going to try to cut back on calories (but that will be hard, since I don't have a job and my roommate does all the grocery shopping and cooking. And she has NO desire whatsoever to eat healthy) and doing some exercises.
So I'm asking if you have any good ideas for dropping a few pounds in a month please let me know!!!!!!
And don't forget I can't BUY anything right now. I don't have any money. (it really sucks. ... hopefully I'll get the job I interviewed for the other day)
And if you could please remember that bending my knees causes extreme pain, so try to find other exercises to do instead.


Really, I know most of us are trying to lose weight. Some of us really need some help!!!!!! So if you can help, please do.

Diet is on!

Alright well first few days of January have not been very good for my diet.
My friend Natalie came into town. We ordered pizza, played video games, ate lasagna.
Calories! eeks! But she's home now (sadness.. she's so fun!) and I'm back to eating healthy again.
I work at McDonald's (eww yes i know.... horrible job.) but I get free meals there every day and there are enough low calorie, low fat options that i'm not gonna starve to death.

Today I did some exercises, sit ups, leg lifts, you know. And i'm gonna eat 2 grilled chicken wraps and apple dippers. (approx 700 calories) and for some reason it fills me up. If i get hungry later, i'll have a parfait or maybe some more apples. :)
If you eat fast food a lot, be sure and look online at the nutritional information. You'll be surprised!!!!!
Good luck kids on your weight loss adventures.

And to all my new followers from the blog hop, thanks! Hope i don't bore yoU!

New Year, New me.

Hey!

Well the new year isn't starting out much different than last year, but thats not all by choice. haha! My friend Natalie came down to visit me. She's staying the 1-3rd. We ordered pizza last night and just being girls and having fun, eating food and playing games. That was the plan.
So my diet is ruined for these first 3 days. but its ok! I'm not discouraged!!
And i'm trying not to pout about being bloated right now (as the mother nature is knocking on my door....) because those 5 lbs-ish will go away in a week or so. And I'm looking up gyms and exercise things to join so i can stay motivated and push myself.
Looking for good deals. I'm not going to fail. I'm SICK of failing on this topic.
DONE!

Next topic. .. I haven't felt pouty. I think I really must have left some of those insecurities and bad feelings in 2010 like I wanted to. GOOD! Lets keep it that way.
And thankfully, my sweet friend Penny is letting me join her phone plan and I'll be saving LOTS of money on my phone bill. And I switched insurance so i'm saving a bit there too.
Still am in debt over my head... but maybe there's a way out...
Soon I'll find a 2nd job and it'll work out.
:)

Staying positive, hope your doing the same!
