I went to the gym this morning. I belong to an ANYTIME FITNESS. You can go there 24/7. You get in with a little electric thingy. There isnt staff there 24/7 but you can get in if you are a member. They have cameras and there are lots of security things in place...anyway, I go this morning and there is noone there. I love it! I love to be there by myself. So I am there about 15 minutes and I see this lady walk in. I dont know her but just out of politness I wave at her to say hi.So I continue with my workout and people slowly start coming in...dang it...and about an hour or so later this lady is getting ready to leave. I was on the leg press and just about done with my workout and I am jammin on my daughters ipod and the lady comes over to me. So I pause the music and take the ear pieces out and say hi. Then she says "I just wanted to tell you...I havent seen you in a while and you look good. " She wanted to know how much I had lost and what I had been doing.
Now I didnt know her and I didnt think I had ever seen her there before but I guess I had. But she remembered me. I was just so amazed that she rememered me and that she actually took the time to tell me that she thought I was doing good. It just made my day!
I hope you all have a good day. I am on cloud 9!!!
Well not really. There isnt alot for me to report today. Its my husbands birthday. We slept in til 11...that was nice. We went to the Honda shop and got some stuff for the girls...dirt bike helmets, chest protectors, riding pants...stuff like that. Then we all went out to eat (Red Lobster) and then to the shoe store. Not that any of us need more shoes but we all ended up getting a pair. And now I am watching the Seahawks embarrass the Redskins.
I plan on going to the gym tomorrow and working my butt off since I did not make it there today. I had too many calories today thats for sure. Guess the scale will tell me in the morning.
FIT INFO...100 crunches, no cardio really but I did dance with my kids for about 30 minutes while my hubby took a nap. 80oz of water and 2100 calories.
Yep..I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 195.0. I thought there was no way so I stepped on it again and it still said 195.0. Then I got on the old set of scales that I have and (this is weird cause they never say the same thing) they also said 195.0. I was kinda in shock at first. I was not expecting it this morning. So from 245 to 195...go me!
I went to the gym last night and really worked my butt off. Some days I go and workout but know that I did not give it 100%...well I gave it 110% last night. Then I came home and cleaned the house for an hour. I am not sure where I got the energy from. Now my house really didnt need to be cleaned because I had just done it a few days ago but I had all this energy and needed to find something to do.
My husbands birthday is tomorrow. I know that I will not make it to the gym. And I know that we will be going out to eat. I am frowning on this situation. I kinda have to go along to dinner and spend the day with him...cause its his birthday and all...but I am not happy. Doesnt that sound selfish? I love him and want him to have a happy birthday but...I guess I should just get over it. Its only one day...right? I can go to the gym Sunday...the Colts dont play so its not like I am gonna miss a game...and I can be reasonible with my food choice wherever we go. Wait...I just thought of a way to get exercise...alright its a rated R thought...I probly should just keep it to myself
to all of you that stopped by yesterday and told me to ignore that stupid number. I do feel better and my clothes are def. a smaller size . I just could not believe what that stupid BMI calculator said. It made me totally rethink how I felt about myself. How silly was that?
I am looking forward to posting my "50 pounds gone" picture. I have my fingers crossed that it will be by Monday. I havent put a new pic up in soooo long. I think my "25 pounds gone" pic was posted close to 2 months ago. Then there will only be two more to post..."75 gone" and "GOAL MADE!". I am trying to think positive...I'm acting like they will happen :) I figure if I tell myself that it is gonna happen then maybe I have more of a chance of it actually happening.
I am ready for the weekend to get here. I just did not want to get out of bed and get moving this morning. I am about one step away from wearing my PJs to work today. The pants I have on could probly be slept in...ahh who cares...I am the only one here so I guess it doesnt matter.
Well I am off to get some exciting P&L statements ready. Doesnt that sound like fun...NOT! Hope all you ladies have a great day!
So lately I have been pretty proud of myself. I made it to onderland and I am very close to lossing 50 pounds. Then I checked on my BMI. Know what?...I am obese! Yep, a woman who is 5'6'' and weighs anything above 185 is obese. I still have to lose another 12 pounds before I am only overweight and no longer obese. Now I am depressed. This kinda stinks. Here I thought I was doing so good and really I havent done much at all. Its kinda like getting to onderland didnt mean a thing. So once I have lost 60 pounds, then I will feel like I have actually done something.
Anyway, we are going skating tonight. I am in full hopes that it will bring me a loss on the scale tomorrow. Guess we will see!
Now that the hustle of the day is over for me and I am getting ready to head home for the last time this year, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you. Thank you to all of you who have helped me along the way. Some of you know who you are... a fellow Peyton fan, a stay at home mom, a teacher...the list just goes on and on. And some of you dont even realize that I look up to you...but I do! You guys help keep me focused on what I should be doing to get myself healthier. I believe that I would not have made it this far along if it hadnt been for you. I know that I have worked hard to lose the weight that I have lost so far...but I give you guys credit for helping me loss too. So THANK YOU ALL!!!
I hope you all have a great evening and I will talk to you next year...yeah I know thats corny
of 2007. I am pretty excited about the upcoming year. It will be the year we all make our goals!
I had a wonderful time last night...thanks for looking for me :) There was a little thing that happened. We were fairly high up. When we first sat down my husband made the comment about how steep it was up there. Well we were sitting on bleachers because the bucket seats are only on the lower level. Anyway, the entire section of bleacher that we were sitting on (about 20 foot long) broke and all 10 of us that were sitting there tumbled onto the people in front of us. The steel bracket that held the bleacher seat to the ground broke. I felt like everyone was thinking "Look, that big girl broke the seat." I was totally embarrassed not to mention it scared the crap out of me. But I still had a good time...good thing we are getting a new stadium next year :)
We ending up leaving our house early so that we could have a "sit-down" dinner instead of fast food. We ending up at this place downtown called McCormicks and Schmicks. It is a seafood place. I am not big on seafood but it was pretty close to the Dome so I thought what the heck. I had water with lemon to drink. I did not eat any of the yummy smelling bread. And I ordered the scallop and shrimp alfredo. When it came I divided it in half and only ate half. I probly could have ate the entire thing because it was so good...but I knew I shouldnt...so I didnt. I feel ok about my choice and portions. I will go back...it was delicious!
Well I have a busy day today. I am at work and Mondays are the worst for me...not to mention all the end of year stuff to be done. And I am not working tomorrow so I have to get all of Tuesdays stuff done too. I will try to make it around to everyone but no promises...if I dont get to you then I apologize in advance. I will make it up to you :)
The game is tonight and I cant wait. My husband informed me this morning that we will need to leave no later than 4pm to get the kids dropped off, grab a bite to eat, get downtown, park , walk to the dome and find our seats. Gesh...the game doesnt even start until 8:15. I'm ok with leaving that early but there is one problem. If we are leaving that early I will not have had dinner. And we will be stopping to pick up a quick bite...but we all know how that can turn out. Quick bite means fast food and fast food means calories and fat. So what do I eat? Where do I tell him to go? He isnt picky and he will let me decide where we eat so it will be up to me. I just dont know. Maybe Wendys and I can have a plain patatoe and plain grilled chicken sandwich and only eat 1/2 the bread. I hear Taco Bell has a lighter menu...ugh! Guess I had better get busy checking out all the fast food websites and figure out what I am gonna do.
I am pretty excited about our FIT challange that starts Tuesday. As I'm sure you all know, the Biggest Loser starts that day too. I love whatching that show. They do it faster...but it still shows you that it can be done. So our challange is 6 weeks long...ending on Valentines Day...I will be focusing on getting in all my water, 6 days work of exercise a week and hoping for a 10 pounds loss. That would put me in the 180s and probly pretty close to a size 14. Today is day 106 for me. I have been doing this for 106 days straight. Sure I have hit a bump now and then but I am still here. And I am only 44 pounds away from my goal. My birthday is in May...44 pounds in 5 months? I wonder if its do-able. I guess thats only about 8 pounds a months. So thats 2 pounds a week...humm...guess it would be do-able. That would be a great birthday present.
Alright, I have babbled enough for the day. I gotta go jump in the shower and get my day started. I hope you all have a good day. And if you happen to be watching the game...my husband and I'll be in row 27, seats 101 and 102 (lol).
Yes ladies I am on my way down the ladder...the weight ladder that is. I am at a beatiful 199 this morning.
Thanks to all of you for the congrats. It really means alot to me. One of the first thoughts I had once I realized the scale wasnt lying was "OMG I gotta get on EP and tell the girls!" When good or bad things happen, I want to get on here and share it with you. You ladies have been such a motivation for me. So thank you!
I did it! I did it! Holy Cow! OK now ignore the fact that I have a boo-boo on my foot and I need a pedi...do you see what those scales say? I could not believe it. I must have gotten on the scales 6 or 7 times to be sure it was right. This might sound crazy coming from someone who was stuck just a few short days ago but I feel so motivated today. I want to run...run as far away from that 200 mark as I can. I dont want to ever step on the scale and see that again. I dont want to have TOM or a bad eating day or anything put me back up there.
And I am wearing another pair of 16s today. I grabbed the next pair out of the tote and...they fit. I can breath and I dont have a mushroom top at all. I am so excited. I feel like I have really accomplished something. I know that lossing 40 pounds is alot of weight but to be honest I didnt feel smaller until yesterday. Maybe that was why I had that burst of energy at the gym. Who knows and who cares as long as it keep going!
Two years...I havent been in the "hundreds" since Feb of 06. Thats almost 2 years.
And I am now 1/2 way to may goal. It is a very good day for me! I will be going to the Colts game on Sunday night and you can bet that I will not be eating anything from the concession stands. No way will I risk a Monday morning WI that is back in the 200s.
