Redux: Part II - The ReCreation of Viylette
So, I am back...again. I got down to 124.4 in the Summer of 2009, and that it when things spiraled WAY out of control. I hit a severe wave of depression, got put in a nut hut for a while (suicide, depression, etc), and after I got out, I surfed that wave to tune of 147.7 pounds, with the help of fast food, cokes, and every other form of badness that you can think of. So, I am back with a vegenance. And, to use a quote "vengance is mine, sayeth the Lord". Well, I am going to borrow some vengance for a while, hope you do not mind.
11/13/10
SW: 147.7 (i will weigh myself weekly and this will change accordingly)
GW: 118.0
BMI:
Pant size: Well it depends on the pants. 10-12 is the usual for me. I am still in meduim shirt though. And I still wear a meduim size shirt. So that tells you all my weight goes to my stomach and hips. DAMNIT!
BMR:
I a shooting for a calorie range between 1100 - 1300. And I not eating my calories back that I exercise off. I just want them gone. Some days, I know I will be hungrier, so I will eat. But, this is how I lost weight last time. I keep everyone updated on my progress.
Now for the rest of the story....
ADD me anytime. I love new friends.
First, i want to start out my profile with a famous quote, that I think describe most of us on here...
"No one is perfect...that is why pencils have erasers"
I do not think any of us will ever feel like we are perfect, and constantly striving for an unknown definition of perfection. If i was only taller, shorter, 10 pounds less, bigger boobs, smaller boobs, etc etc. But, at the end of the day, impefection and all, if we just tell ourselves we did the best we could that day, and tomorrow is another day to try, we could be as close to perfection as we can get. Doing the best we can do on any given day is all we can ever ask of ourselves. And many days, almost all, I come up short. But, i know tomorrow is another day I get the chance to prove myself. And hopefully you will subscribe to this thought too and make the most of the days you are on this earth.
The picture that is in my profile is of my husband and I, and I love him so much. He is the most gorgeous man I have EVER seen. Just FYI, now for the rest of the story. :)
As I reach middle age, I am realizing that i am having to do more to fight the weight loss battle. So, I am commited to lose the 20.0 pounds I have gained over the past year and a half since my stroke. I welcome all who want to come and view my journals and appreciate any hints or tips you may have.
Started 12/30/08
CW: 124.40
Starting CW: 144.4
GW: 115.00
BMI: 22.4 (18.50 thru 24.90 is consider normal)
Waist to Height ratio .45 (under .50 is considered healthy)
BMR: 1386.9 (min. number of calories I sohuld consume in a day)
HB Equation :
Min exercise (1-3 days a wk/light exercise)1386.90 x 1.375 = 1906.98 - 500 = 1406.98 (calorie intake I should maintain, inc. my daily exercise)
Next level up (3-5 days a wk/ moderate exercise)
1386.90 x 1.55 = 2149.69 - 500 = 1649.69
(calorie intake I should maintain, inc. my daily exercise)
so average daily I should have between 1400 - 1600 calories
Pant size: junior size 7 , miss size 6 (people dont believe me, but when you have to fit this butt into jeans, it takes some room. I want to get back into my size 4 jeans, from 2004)
Shirt size M (if I want to be comfortable)
Height: 5 feet 2 inches
My stats that I am reaching for everyday:
Calorie: 1100
Fat: 40-50g
Cholestrol:
Sodium: 1500g
Carb: 120g (?)
Sugar: 0-40g
Fiber: 25-35g
Protein: 100g - 130g
So, if you have looked at my diary my biggest problem is sodium. It ranges from about 2700g to 3300g. I have got to find a way to get that number down. Next problem is fiber, I AM NOT getting enough of it. Some days it is zero. I have to work on that.
I will weigh every Monday, so you can check my progress:

I have 16 pounds more to lose and I am commited to getting the weight off. I love my life, and I know part of my life is to be completely healthy and happy. Please send good vibes, so I can get rid of the Coke addiction. Yes, it is the devil.
Oh, and I am running in the Music city Marathon in April. Please let me know if you are part of that as well. I would love to hear from you.
Also, i dont count sitting a desk, climbing the stairs at work, driving a car, or any of those things actual exercising. I do all these things every day, and even though I know The daily Plate counts them as "exercising", I don't. I personally think people are fooling themselves if they think that doing those things are actually going to get the weight to come off. You need an actual gym regiment or some outside activity to get your heart rate moving. Just my 2 cents, because I see so many people list that as their exercise for the day.
BTW: Just a side note, I am a HUGe GEEK. I love all things geek like. I have 4 levle 80 WOW characters, and I know it takes a lot of my time. And I love table top gaming, although I dont play nearly enough. And I am a hug sci-fi/famtasy convention person. You will see me at Dragon Con EVER year. Still trying to get hubby into the whole geek thing, but I can not complain. I love my life.
