Well, the period is here and on the way out. I didn't walk Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I did drag my butt out of bed this morning to do my morning 3 miles. I was not thrilled. BUT, I did it. I was glad I did. I always feel tired when I have my period. Oh, and a bit bitchy as well. (But nothing like PMS week, I am evil then.)
So the bf worked on his house all weekend, which kinda sucked. but me and my son went to October Fest and rode the chair lift to the top of Sugar Mountain, which was beautiful and scary as hell! It took an hour to ride up and back, that is how high it is, but the fall leaves were beautiful. It was worth it. then we ate german food and watch the men in their weird little costumes get wasted. My son that it was very funny to see old men drunk.
Anywho, then yesterday I watched football, I love it, and carved a few pumpkins. (I now hate it for some reason, I use to love it, but it is too much freak'in work!)
I will do my 2 miles tonight and get back on my routine. My diet is fair, I could do so much better, so I think I will work on that this week. I have a damn goal to make and the scale is frozen. We will see on Tuesday. It better be a lot cause I am walking my hamhocks off here people!
So, I am up at 5:30am, walking 5 miles as fast as I can….AND I LOVE IT!I do.I am starting to crave it, thank god, like I did when I lost it all before, and it is showing.I am melting again!When I am really tired, I remind myself that before, with the job I had the first time, I was up at 4:30am, so suck it up sister.Then I get up.Before I use to walk around my block, now that I live in the mountains, I use a treadmill.I love my treadmill.It is gym quality and it is so worth it, (well the bf bought it but still).I also walked 2 miles yesterday evening.I like to do this when I watch Inside Edition and Entertainment tonight.It makes it go by faster when my mind is on entertainment smut and not my burning ass!So the kid is walking 1.5 or 1.75 a day, and it is showing.He is also in a growth spurt.I am glad, he is so handsome and it is really starting to show with his cheeks going down.I can see his self esteem rising and I am very happy for him.I guess I am feeling pretty good myself.It has been a while.I have 2 versions of myself.Fat Christie and Hot Christie.They are totally different people!I miss the power of Hot Christie!I am very happy with my boyfriend, but I miss that power.I am not trying to sound arrogant, but people, men mostly, treat you differently when you are attractive.Back then, I got out of tickets, discounts of repair work on my car, etc.I remember a woman getting mad at her boyfriend for looking at me.I felt bad for her, but I was shocked that “I” was the hot chick he was checking out.I want that back.I want to wear heels.I never wear heels when I am chubby, because it doesn’t look good.Please, if you are one of those ladies that wears whatever to please herself, that is great, but me, I am not that brave to wear sexy or tight clothes when I feel it looks like you are trying too hard.
Well, ladies, I love reading your mess.It makes me feel like I am fighting this battle with friends.BTW, the bf is great, the fall is peaking and this place is amazing.I love fall, I love Halloween and all the ghost stories on TV this time of year.I am happy and I am on my way!
It has been forever!I just haven’t had time, but I try to read your posts.Well as I mentioned at the end of September, my wonderful bf bought me a treadmill, a good one.I have really gotten serious on it.I started off doing 2 miles in the evening.I have come to realize that if I going to lose this weight, I have to do my exercise in the morning.This is how I did it before, and it is just the way it has to be.For a week now I walk 3 miles in the morning.I drag myself out of bed at 5:30 and get it done.I turn on FitTV or I walk old sitcoms like Fresh Prince and get it done!Now I have decided that I have to walk in the morning and I will try to do something in the evenings.I thought maybe walk 2 miles, or walk 1 mile and do weights.Yesterday was my first day of walking 3 miles in the morning and then when I got home from work I did 1.5 miles.You know, I have not lost weight, but I am getting ready to start my period and my clothes are all loose.I have a feeling when I weigh in next week, there will be a big difference.Oh, and I found a bunch of old workout video at the Dollar General store.They were a dollar a piece, so I got Buns of Steel and Tae Bo.They were only a dollar and I owned them years ago so I know they will be fun to do from time to time.
Well, I hope everyone is good.Sorry I have been a slacker!I am still here and still trying!
I am very proud of myself. Last night, the bf and I needed some "quality" time, so after work I went to his house. After, we went for BBQ, this new place that opened, OMG, so good, then we picked up my son and went for ice cream. LET ME FINISH! So, after I got home at like 8:30pm, I decided that yes I ate ice cream but I was going to walk on my new treadmill. And I did, 3 miles as fast as I could. I was a big sweat ball after it was over and I felt great! I am going to make it. I am going to be a lot thinner when I meet his family at Thanksgiving. Oh, for the record, his ex wife was a size 4. Yeah, I know, but although she had the body, she had a big witch nose and not a pretty face, PLUS, his family hated her, she was a gold digger. And they are southern and I am southern. But, I don't want to look like a fat ass when they meet me!
ANYWHO- I wish all of you a wonderful weekend. Good luck with your weight struggles, and may we be thinner tomorrow than we are today!
I have the best bf in the world.Spoils me rotten!The weather is starting to change here in the mountains.In conversation, I mentioned to him that I need to get myself a treadmill so when the winter sets in, I can walk.Well yesterday, he called me a few minutes after I got home from work and told me he was stopping by.He showed up with the nicest treadmill.We are talking top of the line, coolest treadmill ever!
He is so good to me!SO- my new thing is to walk while I am watching Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight every night.I am starting off walking 2 miles as fast as I can, and each night I am going to add a 10th.I want to get up to 3 miles, and then challenge myself to walk as fast and far as I can in 60 minutes.I am very excited.I have a mini goal for Thanksgiving.That is when I get to meet his whole family.I want to be at least 195.We will see how I do!Wish me luck!
It is like going straight from summer to winter, yuck!So I am getting back on track as far as my eating goes. I am not sleeping well though.When ever I cut my carbs a lot, I have trouble sleeping for some reason.Oh well, I will adjust.
Other than that things are going pretty well. The bf is good, same status there, the kid is good, high school so far is not too bad.I have him eating low carb as well, it is helping.I am not sure what lunch is for him at school, but at least he is not getting all those carbs at night, and the weight is slowly coming off.
Oh, and just so you know, I totally haD sex at lunch today....yeah, you heard me SEX. lol, about 10:00am, I got the urge, so yep, sex at lunch. Hot, naughty sex, lol.
I am doing much better.My period almost over, and I have my eating under control again.I am just going to have to accept that the week before my period, I have uncontrollable hunger.I am tired of the cycle.I am going to watch my carbs, and that is it.I cannot be skinny and eat spaghetti all the time.I cannot thin and have lots of sugar.My body doesn’t do well with these things, and I have to make a choice, eat what I want, or weigh what I want.I have not been to the gym.Work is stressful right now, and I am tired when I get home.I realize I need to do this, but I am not going to overload myself.Last time I lost all this weight, I lost 20 lbs first, felt good, and then started exercising.That worked out really well for me, because I was feeling better, lighter, and exercise was like the next natural process.
I watched the Steve Irwin tribute last night……it got me thinking about life.Not just about being thin and healthy, but about doing things you have always wanted to do.I am going to make a list for myself, things I want to do in the next few years.Nothing like skydiving, just things I put off.Also, taking more time to spend time outside.Enjoy the weather, what ever it may be.Take the time to listen to my body.Why do I eat so much when it just makes me feel bad after?A full stomach makes me sad and angry, so why do I stuff?What is it that is REALLY bothering me?
Well, I guess my weight is playing tricks on me with my period, who knows. Down to 223 over night.I am working on getting back on track.I am considering The Firms videos. Anybody ever use them?Which ones are the best?
I was not thrilled. BUT, I did it. I was glad I did. I always feel tired when I have my period. Oh, and a bit bitchy as well. (But nothing like PMS week, I am evil then.)
AND I LOVE IT!
