(Expect early morning posts to be random and disjointed. I’m NOT a morning person. People that wake up for the gym? So not me)
The title of this blog is ‘losing the wait’ because I need to stop procrastinating when it comes to my diet, fitness and health, and who doesn’t enjoy a play on words. I must give credit where credit is due, however, and thank my friend Kristina for coming up with this fun title. Thank you Kris 🙂
On this blog, I will be tracking my progress. The last time I weighed myself (about a month ago) I was 163 lbs (I am 5’9). I will weigh myself tonight at the gym and give you all the verdict tomorrow. My ultimate goal is 145 lbs. 140 lbs would be amazing, but the only time I was 140, I was leading a very active lifestyle and was eating very little, so I don’t know if my busy life can accommodate the gym time I need to be at 140…
This blog will also contain recipes, and my successes (and inevitably, many failures) when it comes to cooking. I will also share some of my exercise routines and ideally, I’d love to have enough people following my blog to ask questions, to answer my questions, and just be a great online support system.
~I just have a quick rant about the weather.
Because it’s snowing, again…
But I have places to go, I have people to see…
Monday’s prediction for the snowstorm: about 3 inches of snow.
Tuesday’s prediction: 5 inches
Right now: Expect 7.3 inches, NOW!
SERIOUSLY?!

Okay, so enough with the weather talk. How about food!?!? I’m curious, who out there actually eats three healthy meals a day? Or 5/6 small meals throughout the day? Unfortunately, I’m not organized enough to do that. I do drink 8 glasses of water a day, though!
My hurdles regarding meals include:
BREAKFAST:
- I can’t eat in the morning. Have no appetite.
- I like sleeping in. I do not like waking up earlier to cook breakfast.
- Eggs gross me out..and most other breakfast options are bagels, pancakes, etc, and I don’t want to put carbs in me that early in the day.
*Instead, a typical breakfast includes:
- One LBC (LARGE BLACK COFFEE)
LUNCH:
- I always forget about making it at night.
*Instead, a typical lunch includes:
- Pack of sunchips from vending machine.
DINNER:
- No problem with dinner, because of my…CROCKPOT ❤
Since I realize I need to space out my eating, and that I pig out at night because I deprive myself during the day, I’ve concocted a plan of action.
- I will bring a fruit to work with me. This way, after my LBC, I have something to munch on that’s not messy. And it will help with my sweet tooth.
- I’ll buy a huge pack of chicken, throw it in the slow cooker, then mix that with some spinach leaves. Thus, I have my lunch for a week.
We’ll see how this goes, especially with classes starting next week. I’m going to be busy, but hopefully all that running around will help me lose weight and stick to a schedule!
So, I plan on heading to the gym after work and eating some of my pork that I’ve been slow roasting for 1o hrs. This hunk o’meat will be my lunch until I run out. I’m also going to plan on making some kind of beef/chili concoction tonight.
CLIFFHANGERS!
How much will I weigh?
How will the pork taste?
Will the snow impede my evening commute or worse, stop me from getting into work tomorrow?
