back on the roll
so....well life is back on track. my new roomie/bestie isnt as interested in workin out as she thought. but i am not stopping. life was a lil flustratin for a while with relationship issues, work, workin out, and tiff movin in. i realized this mornin i lost sight of myself. that is done and over with!! if my roomie dont want to lead a healthy life style besides just food in our fridge so be it. if what i thought in a relationship doesnt work out then well as much as it hurts .....the guy that is for one is still out there. I need to get back on the ME track and so today i am. i am focusin back on my health and if things happen in the midst of my ME time then sweet. but if not...give it time and enjoy becomin the healthy individual i set myself out to be in the first place.

Mini Update On My Progress/Day
Hey LOSERS!
So, I was very disappointed at myself when i stepped on the scale Sunday. After losing around 5 pounds in a week...1.5 of it had come back. Many are sitting here giggling wonderin why that was so disappointing and some are in complete understanding with me.
Well, after talking to a handful of people I was reminded of the fact of water weight, weather, muscle gain, etc. Which did make me feel a tad better but also made me pick up my excersie program just a tad.
My gym has a lady that brings her excersie dvd with her so her best friend and her can work out in the cardio room. Well, they are letting any one else join. It's a work out dvd called "intensity"....and well it's exactly like it sounds. INTENSE! I about died. But let me tell you it pushes you and makes you burn calories QUICK. Lets just say, I'm in love. So whenever I can, I am going to join them in that work out. Even if it's just 2 or 3 days a week it will really help.
Work is greatly pick up and I must say it is nice. Makes my 8-10 hour days go by very fast.
PAPOO "bestie" count down is at 5 days!!! woot!!
Right now, I'm at my older couple friends house. lol They left for the doctors and let me stay and watch tv and use their internet. How sweet!
Sooooo.....I'm super excited. I have a date!!!!! *does a little dance* I don't know exactly what we are going to do yet but im just excited to be able to hang out with him and see his cute smile. Let me tell you ladies he's a looker. *sighs* I am quite sadden by our schedules clashing so much that it's not till the first week of December. But I do know, he's totally worth the wait. =)
So, does anyone have any good ideas for a quick, filling, breakfast? I'm kinda getting stuck on having a good breakfast thats healthy and quick to make before I jet out the door and not to mention filling.
Well ladies and gents....I hope everyones day is going as well as mine is. I am definitely sticking to my every sunday weigh ins. I was getting too attached to my scale. I should put up a picture of how big my pants are on me. I have to hold them!!!!! lol So, if you see a lady walking thru a store and her pants fall off....yeah thats me. Nice to meet you. =)
xoxoxoxo to my incredible Mr. E!

Weigh In Tonight!---Measurements/My Day
So i have decided to weigh myself sundays and wednesdays. Honestly, the only reason for this is because I can NOT wait a full week to see whats happening. lol I can really see results. And It's very exciting. My face is slimmer for one!!!
Here are some of the results inch wise: (this is since september 29th,2009)
Belly Button: 5.5 inches gone
Thighs: 3 inches gone
Breasts: 3.5 inches gone (oh my!) lol
Heck yeah!!!! I'm super excited that with the 24 pounds I have lost (as of this past sunday) I'm toning up in the process.
I'm really beginning to notice that the next month and a half is going to be pretty tough. Working ten hour days ....at six days a week if my district manager has anything to do with it..lol is not going to be fun with working out afterwards. But, I am ready! I forced myself yesterday after a nine hour day at work to go and walk/jog 2 miles. It felt like the longest 2 miles of my life...lol but I did it. And man, I was darn proud of myself afterwards.
I changed my goal weight. After much debate with myself and deep conversations with my mom and close friends. I decided I am aiming myself to the lower 170's. Rather then 155. I have NEVER been a small girl... and I honestly dont know what I am going to look like smaller(besides freakin hot)
...so I think once I get to 170's..Ill know whether I want to go another 15 pounds or so ....OR if i am happy right where I am at. I was basing my decision according to BMI. And, well, even the BMI does give me a since of where I need to be...the BMI doesn't go with my personal body type. So 90 some pounds left!!!!! How exciting! lol Never thought i'd be excited to say 90 pounds left ....but.... here i am.
Count down for my bestie "papoo" (crazy nicknames lol) is now 13 days! I'm super excited. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I feel a bit better now.
I just wanna tell everyone who may read this blog...dont give up. Find what works for you and run with it! No two people are going to be a like. So don't base how you are doing on how someone else is losing. Your body knows whats right for you and when you find that spot...you will know too. Sadly, it's taken a lot of time and a month-n-half of working out to figure that out for myself. I kept looking for more answers and more things to do when obviously, whatever I am doing is getting somewhere. =)
Um, I do have one question? I am trying to put my weight tracker up on my blog....but it says I am putting an initial weight and a goal...but it wont let me. I'm getting flustrated. Anyone have any tips on how to do this? lol
Well, fellow losers....enjoy your day. If it is as beautiful there as it is here...enjoy it. Thats what I am about to do. Who woulda thunk its November. =)
Xoxoxoxo to my incredible mr. E

Good Afternoon EP ladies and gentlemen
Long time no blog!
Well the past couple of days have been rather stressful. Sunday I woke up to a text message informing me of a loved one passing away. Even when you are expecting and waiting for something like this to happen.....the suddenness of it happening is still very hard. But I believe what hurt the most was, not being able to be there for family and friends. (due to being in arkansas....and the death happening in Michigan.) So comforting them, was limited to via text message or phone calls.
Then sunday afternoon my lap top decided to crash. Right now it is in the shop getting fixed. I pray the guy is able to get Windows XP re-installed. Right now, a Close friend is letting me use his computer to update all my information.
I am proud to announce that I did NOT give in to temptation during Halloween. Not one piece of candy entered this mouth and actually...I wasn't even tempted. I had no desire. =)
I would like to Thank everyone who responsed to my last Blog. You all were very encouraging and made me think. I have come to the conclusion Everyone is different and this is the way I chose to do my personal diet. And you know....I have to say I am pretty darn proud of myself for what I am doing. I am goaling myself to lose 118 pounds by May 2010. Why you may ask yourself? Why may...why not March? .... I am giving my body time to tone up and lose inches as well as weight....and look darn good for swim season.
I have to say everyone I know and am friends with are very encouraging. My "skinny" friend Ashley informed me yesterday that she wants to go bathing suit shopping with me once summer hits. lol Honestly, even 2 months ago...I would've cringed at the thought of bathing suit shopping. But now, Heck get the bathing suit and lets tan this albino belly! =)
And I have actually started to see much "encouragement" from my weight loss goals from my bigger friends to start working out with me or even on their own. My bestie is now counting calories and watching what she eats.(huge improvement) She is planning on moving down here within the next month and her first comment was "I can't wait to get a gym membership." I'm totally excited for her and I know we will do so well as partners in this ordeal.
Well Guys, with the sun shinning into my window showing off the beautiful day outside I'm going to have to get out of here. Please...remember...count your blessings. Because you never know when you or a loved one may be taking your last breath. Life is Short.

Flustrated But Failure Is Not An Option
Hi Guys...I don't know who will read this or even if anyone will. But please feel free to comment and talk. I'm very open to meet anyone. My name is christina. I am 21 yrs old and just recently started my journey to become a healthy women. I can't wait to be proud of myself and actually like what I see in the mirror. (I've never felt that)
So...here I am. Not even 5 weeks into my work out. The first 4 weeks or so I saw GREAT success in my methods. I was pumped. I lost around 18 pounds. Well now, here I am....stuck at the same weight for which has seemed over a week but I know that it hasn't been but a 3-4 days.
I have been recording everything down in a journal. Everything from what I eat -n- drink, excerses, weigh in, and measurements. Figured out today I have lost around 4 inches in my waist (belly button) in the past 5 weeks. That in itself is very uplifting but I still wish I saw faster results. Idk..
It would be so cool if I could see ahead in the future and see what I look like after all this. I believe it would help me in my journey. But I guess that is all part of life.
I have always been a big fan of anything that gave me fast results. And even tho I wish I saw more NOW...I'm glad I am finally doing this the right way. The old fashion way. It comforts me in knowing that I'm doing this with the help of any pill or medical assistance. I'm doing this all by myself.
Sadly, It's taken me this long to get a hold of myself. I can remember back in high school weighing at one point an time up to 40 pounds lighter then I do now and wishing I was at that point NOW. When then, I was wishing I could do something about my weight but just let it get worse. (how stupid)
But looking through this blog site I realize I am not alone in all this. And it's very comforting. I hope to meet a few people who i can come to and just talk with. Many of the people I am close with now are happy for me but can only take so much of my "healthy" talk. lol
