It's the 4th -- not the 5th!!
I usually don't worry about this site posting like it's the next day, but I need to remember this day! Today is the 4th of July 2011. I pushed myself so hard today and I honestly could have done more. I don't know if it was the arthrisis pills I took before I went in to work out or if it was just a good day but I didn't hurt at all.
After I completed my normal 60 minutes of cardio...
Time: 61:24
Calories 803
Distance 3.26 Miles
Distance Climbed 3811 feet
Average Speed 3.18 MPH
Average Pace 18:50/Mile
Average Heart Rate 161
I continued on for yet another 30 minutes...
Time: 36:37
Calories 500
Distance 1.98 Miles
Distance Climbed 2527 feet
Average Speed 3.25 MPH
Average Pace 18:26/Mile
Average Heart Rate 172
I was so pumped up! I came home and logged into my wii fitness and faced my first weight lost goal in the face. I still had my gym clothes on, and I got on. My first goal was to drop under 330 to be able to use the wii fit board that I bought over a year ago. Today was the first day that I was able to do that. I'm not going the spead of light in my weight loss but I am getting there. It took me a long time to put all this on so I know it will take longer to get it off... everyday I am facing it, living it... trying. Don't quit... I can't, I want my life back.

Not giving up...
Just so you know.... I'm not giving up. Seems like here recently I have been hearing so many more comments about my weight. When it comes to an ex who so called had an unspoken issue with my weight, to a more recent issues with others where it was someone a topic of discussion to them. I don't understand but I suppose it is some people's nature.
I have had so much going on these past few days but I know I can't let these things bother me. I have so much to focus on for school and work that my days are getting longer without my time for myself getting any longer... ugghh... exhausting.
I have tried to stick to the HCG diet a little bit better. I got my allergy test back this past Friday and my tolerance and intolerance to certain food have really put a damper on my HCG approved foods.... but... I am still ticking.
I think my hunger is FINALLY starting to die down a little. I was off on Friday & Saturday and I slept until mid-day. That’s helped with not taking in extra calories... then I am really on my beef and shrimp. These are two foods I have found that I can actually eat and be full. I honestly don't weigh my food but I watch my portion. I guess I would be doing a lot better if I did though. My water intake has slowed a little but I do drink water with my meals and water only. ... ok, ok, I fixed me half a cup of apple cinnamon tea this morning buuuuuttttt I only drank half a cup!!
I have to do a paper tonight... and I have to watch the B.E.T. awards (that's important). Hopefully I will finish it today or tomorrow before work is over so I can hit the gym... I'm actually looking forward to it!

Happy face....
Today, I would have given myself two gold stars, a happy face & an outstanding sticker! I reaaalllyyy, and I do mean really did not want to go to the gym today. However, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I know I will not be going and I needed to go today. I had to stay late at work for a coworker... then I had to take one of my friends home from work & run by target (to get my new ipad 2!!) I had to make it to the gym before the workers left because my code doesn't work at any gym besides my primary gym for my first 30 days there. Ugghhh...
But, I went. I did it all and I worked out harder and faster than I have since I have been there. I kept my incline today, raised my speed, and made only my calories my target.
Today my workout summary looked like this:
Elapsed Time 58:46
Calories 508
Distance 2.64 Miles
Distance Climbed 68 feet
Average Speed 2.70 MPH
Average Pace 22:11/Mile
Average Heart Rate 158
... I showered... setting this ipad up & then it's nighty night for me... Kysses (the lowfat ones ;-)

Ouuccchh... phuckin blisters?!
Okay... my shoes are not to small. My toenails are not to long.. my socks are a little thin but umm.... it feels like blisters are forming on my toes! The devil is busy I tell ya. Just when I get up to a whoppin 2.7 and a .5 incline on the treadmill I feel the most miserable feeling in my shoe! Needless to say, I paused for about 15 seconds, took the pain in and finshed the 45 mintes I had left in my 1 hour walk.
Today my workout summary looked like this:
Elapsed Time 62:10
Calories 500
Distance 2.61
Distance Climbed 27 feet
Average Speed 2.52 MPH
Average Pace 23:46/Mile
Average Heart Rate 154
I was honestly only trying to make it to 500 calories since i did 484 yesterday & 2.41 distance. That incline kills my calfs but I try to pump it on through as much as I can. When I weighted when I got home (in just my panties) I was at 338.6, about 2 pounds less than yesterday. I'm still taking the hcg drops. Without the correct information on how to take them and the info on the diet it was hard but it was worth getting both bottles for 30 bucks and looking up directions online.
Well... think I'm going to end it here. I bought a Xbox 360 with the Kinect today... maybe it will help me reach my weight goal to use my wii fit!! lol... We shall see!

Thick like Cough Syrup
Thick huh? Well... if that's what you want to call it. Most of America calls it obese. I call it my life and in May of 2011 I started on getting mine back. On the 16th of May I signed up for a gym. First gym i have been a member of in quite a few years. However I have been actively going for the past week or so. That same day, I bought my first yoga ball (which I have no idea what to do with, but I like to stretch on it!).
I started working out on the 17th. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes doing other weight stuff. 40 sets on my arms, 40 on my legs. I also did a few minutes on the bike. After a few days I started to notice the scars on my thighs. I didn't know what it was coming from but then I put it together. It was coming from the handles on the bike. I am so fat that my thighs rub on both sides and it creats a "carpet like burn" on my thighs. Smh... talk about a wake up call.
Since this, I have purchased a shake weight & I have started excerising using my wii on my off days. My first short term goal is to be able to use my wii balance board. When i started, I'm thinking I was about 350 pounds, although the highest I can remember weighing in a few days after I started was 348. Whateverever the weight, I still have some to go... and I'm getting there.
My left leg has been killing me. It's funny that when I excercise it doesn't hurt, but when I'm home & stiff it's aching to walk on for the first couple of minutes. I pray that ends with the weight loss.
I'm taking some weight loss drops... some times I even take half of an adipex. This just keeps me from feeling so hungry. My workouts now are just the treadmill walking, but now i walk for 60 minutes without all the weight stuff. I need to focus on the cardio part of this first (so i hear).
I've been drinking water, the nasty-iest liquid on the planet (lol) and it's getting a little easier to swallow. My diet has changed and that's not been so bad. I miss some things but I think my body is still feasting off those that I have had for so many years.
I welcome the journey and I am ready. By cheating on this I would only be cheating myself and I refuse to do so.
