Wake Up Call.

So I've been off and on about this weight loss thing for some time, having all kind of excuses, knowing good and damn well my weight is going to inch back on...and it is. I stepped on the scale today (Granted it was the gym scale and not the WW scale) but it says I'm OUT OF ONDERLAND!!!! How the hell did that happen?! Yes, I've have some fast food and a couple of ice cream cones but dayum!! But that really doesn't suprise me cause in the back of my head, I knew it! But that scale is off, the WW scale is usually 3-4lbs below that. That would put me around 197, which is still TOO close for comfort!

Today started my back to business and I'm proud to say I did well. Minus eating a few cookies my roomate baked. I had wheat spaghetti with turkey meat for lunch and I had baked tillapia and steamed veggies for dinner. I had all my water AND I made it to the gym. I ran a mile on the indoor track, then I did weights (BE PROUD ALICIA!!) I did arms and gluts. Then I finished off with some abs. So I had an ok workout. I could have did more cardio, which I wanted to but some of my sorority sisters were with me and they are not used to my hardcore workouts and they were whinning the whole time, so I just said forget it. But I still got the most of out it, I just now know FOR SURE that I am a loner when it comes to exercising. I rather put my iPOD in and just do my workout alone. I'm very driven and motivated in the gym, people that do not have my intesity just piss me off. So, lesson learned, no more working out with sorority sisters, although I love them dearly.

Tomorrow morning I am taking out chicken breasts to grill for dinner. I have to go to mandatory training at work tomorrow so I will not have a lot of time for lunch, I'll probably just eat a smart one when I get there. I need to go buy some more fruits for the week.

And I have to be realistic, the gym 3 times a week doesn't do much for me, so 5 days a week it is. Although I have tons of papers and projects for school due, i HAVE to do this. I can not let this weight creep back on me. Excuses are tools that build monuments of nothing...So from now accountability will be my middle name. I have my mirror in my bathroom full of quotes and inspiration. I did it before, I can keep goin!

Tomorrow is hard cardio day in the gym, 45 minutes of it. 30 minutes of interval training on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the bike. I'll do about 200 abs and call it day.

I also think I need to stay at the WW meetings. I need that weight in weekly and encouragement from meetings. I didn't go today but I will start back next week. *sigh* I have to do this, I'm so close!!!

This weekend I'm going home to visit the fam and I have some business I have to attend to. My mom STILL has my dog and I'm trying to decide if I want to bring him back or let him stay with her. I have to move for the summer for my internship THEN I'm going out of town on vacation the 3rd week in May, so there's no need to bring him back if I'm leaving...IDK what to do?! *sigh*

Ok, gotta get started AND finish this paper.

Have a wonderful Wednesday ladies.

I HAVE to have the meetings and Wi's or I might as well bag the whole thing!  lol.   YOu can do this girl!  We can do this!  Have a good rest of the week!

someone gave herself a kick in the ass!

I'm proud of you for realizing what needs to be done to get the results you want.  Keep up te awesome work!

Hey

Hey just consider that a bump in the road and keep going. I know you can do this and it sounds like you are focused now.  TAke CAre

Detour

You just took a little detour.  Sometimes, you get more from your journey by taking the scenic route.  Glad you're back on track!

Hey there

Like that quote above.  Excuses are tools that build monuments of nothing. 

Do you ever listen toCreflo Dollar?  He was talking the other day on procrastination and excuses.  I wrote these quotes on my mirror.  "you're never going to change making excuses!" and "Excuses are nothing more than nails that build a house of failure!"  Much like your quote above.  It's so true. 

Sounds like you are moving beyond that, and working to get back on track.  You know I think you are awesome!!!  You can do it, and you'll no doubt, do it well!!!

Take care!
