Skipped yesterday

I feel like I havent been blogging. Things have sort of been crazy at work.

I didnt work out yesterday...I ended up hanging out with a friend I havent see in a long time and unfortuantly I didnt have time to go to the gym....I was sad though.

Today I'm going to switch up my running. Run 8 minutes walk 2 instead of walking 1 running 4. We'll see how that goes...I'll blog about it when I get done!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

thigh master

Went to the gym yesterday.

Hit my goal loss for the week at 2 pounds. Woop! 175 now...Soon I will be a skinny bitch!

Thats how I keep motivation on the treadmill..."Skinny bitch, skinny bitch, skinny bitch". haha.

I'm trying hard to get Jenn into it with me...she's not as motivated right now but I think once she starts seeing progress she will be. She doesnt know when she goes to the gym with me I'll kick her ass!

Yesterday:
Ran at 4.5 for 20 minutes.
Walked at 3.5 for 15
with a 5 minute cool down and a 5 minute warm up.

Plus the strength training Sparkpeople made for me.

I also bought a thigh master...I KNOW. lol. ..but its supposed to tone your inner thighs and it also works your chest...Its a possiblity that I loose about 2 cup sizes. My mom doesnt think so...because she has worn the same cup size from weight 130 to now...which I think it slike 250 or more. We just have a big boobed fam.

I have the second smallest boobs in my family...so its a possiblity that I grow still. (Ugh!) I'm supposedly looking more and more like my aunt all the time and hers are HUGE...and she's got a little body.

Anyways...I cant figure out how to change my goal weight on this thing...cause I saw pictures of me at 155 from high school. NOT as skinny as I remember DEFF need to go to 130. 

I'm going to the gym soon today.

Blah

So this working out thing is not helping me forget about Brian....

I dont want to talk about that now anyways.

I worked out yesterday. My body is still getting used to this whole running thing. I can feel its thinking about how its wanting to react to all this work lol. Its been 2 years since I really did any kind of work out. And its been ....something like 8 years since I was a serious athlete.

Anyways. Last night...

Run 4 minutes walk 1.
Run: 4.3 twice and 4.5 3x's.
Walk: 3.5

Again I started my fun monthly friend on Tuesday so pushing has been HARD. I will increase my speed more next week hopefully.

Today is my running day off. I have music practices after work.

Tomorrow I might try and go longer....maybe push out an extra 10 minutes or something. Maybe only 5 more minutes and add an extra 5 every other day or something.

On another note...I cant remember if I put deoderant on this morning...lol. Luckily I'm one of those people who doesnt NEED it. I just wear it for safe measure.

Just keep swimming.

I just talked to my girl Ashley C. She was encouraging me to keep running. She's officially a size 8 all around. She's so excited. She was almost an 18 at her biggest. I dont have as much weight as she did to loose which is NICE....she was about 10 pounds heavier than me and she is a little over an inch shorter so she can afford to loose about 15 pounds less than me. So its encouraging to me to hear her. I cant honestly imagine being a size 8. I have never been that small. I've never been SUPER overweight but I'm at my biggest at a size 15 in juniors...and thats a small 15 in my opinion...cause I own some of my 15's that are HUGE on me even at my biggest. My smallest size I've been was a 13 when I was a Soph. in high school. So an 8 would be crazy for me. I wear Juniors sizes though because I dont really have hips...I'm more straight down.

So a 9 would be HUGE for me....or a 7. I honestly dont even know my body will let me get that small...but we'll see. I sort of know what weight will be good. At 155 I'm a size 13 though...and I look pretty small. The smallest I've ever been 155 when I was on weight watchers. I was pretty small and I was also still in high school so I might look even smaller now because I've just filled out. We will see though. I cant imagine what it would be like to buy a size 7 at all. I'm going to faint if I get to that point lol.

Yesterday I started my period...so working out took EVERYTHING in me....just to do the same amount that I had done the day before. I guess I wont be "pushing" any until Friday. Tomorrow is my working out day off. I have music practices all day Thursdays so I make that my day off. So Today I will just try and do what I did yesterday and the day before. Friday I will try and jump it up to 4.5 running speed. I'm getting better at this running thing...but I'm still a beginner and I need to remember that. I sometimes feel like I should be running 30 minutes straight at 6.0 by now...its ONLY been 2 weeks since I started! I'm progressing perfectly fine. Friday I'll also weight myself...I'm hoping for 175. I may not get it since I'm on that time of the month. I can still hope though.

Running Speed: 4.3
Walking Speed: 3.4
Walk 1 minute run 4 minutes, 5X.
5 minute warm up, 5 minute cool down.

Here we go.

So I'm starting this thing because I thought it might be helpful, since I feel like I'm driving my readers in my normal blog crazy talking about weight loss all the sudden. I realize that I am not really that big, but I do want to loose a few pounds. (About 40)

I need something to focus on since my ex is dating another girl at the moment and its sort of driving me crazy. So I started to focus on running. I'm not actually all that good at running. A friend of mine started running about 6 months ago and she has lost a ton of weight. About 30 to 40 pounds I would say. She has a little ways to go probably another 20 or 30 pounds but to see the weight pretty much fall off of her has been amazing. Running has changed her matabolism completly. I had never had a desire to run, but my recent situation gave me a need for something to work for...a goal perhaps. So I am trying to get better at running. I would like to run a 5k in late Oct is the goal. At the rate I am going I will have NO problem reaching that goal.

So here I go, trying to focus on something positive, something to better me. I hope this works out for the best!
