Yesterday started off great! But after noon, it took a turn for the worst! I almost lost my pomeranian! She ran away and I ran after her, she almost got run over. Thank God she didn't. THe good thing is that I started jogging by accident. I had to run after her.....and my back felt better.
My car did not want to turn on....I dont know why. Nothing is wrong exept the ignition got locked.Luckily, it become unlocked in the evening. Having no car sucks. I felt trapped.
I was sad because I didn't get to go to Discovery Green and take my zumba class.
Lastly, this is the saddest news....I had my heart broken into a million pieces. I dont care to elaborate but I know this is for the best. It just really hurts. I am going to try to use this experience to make me a better person. I am using this as motivation to lose the weight and get healthy, mentally and spiritally as well as phsically. Thanks for the support EP buddies!
I walked 6 miles today at the park (3 in the am and 3 in the pm) Felt so good and my back is beginning to feel stronger!
I had lunch with my BFF and we had the giggles! We could not stop laughing! Then we went to see "The Strangers" scary and creepy
I stayed within my calorie range ...I wasn't that hungry
I had my 8 cups of H2O
Overall today was a smashing success!!!! Thanks to Trishkaa who motivating comment helped me see the glass half full! I will fit in to the "lil" cocktail dress by the time the SATC DVD comes out!
On another note-Guess What??????????????????
My 10 year high reunion is in October. I haven't made up my mind if I am going but I feel that if I don't go I will regret it. That only gives me 4 months to get into shape! Time to get my butt in GEAR!!!!!!!!! I can surely lose some poundage by then! This is another motivating factor! I can and will do THIS!!
Logged in all my food and I have plenty cals left over and I still haven't had dinner
Went grocery shopping and bought myself a pedometer
Going to church and dinner with my cousin
Got 2 gold stars from the BF :)
Bought myself some cute summer clothes that will look even better when I trim down! I was against buying clothes until I saw some weight loss but I start school on Monday and don't have much to wear or too tight.
I am planning on walking in the morning and in the afternoon! By body is craving it.
It feels like 10 years have passed since my last post....maybe bc it's practically been that long!!! Many things have occured during this time yet sadly weightloss not being one of them. I weight 4 more lbs than when I started!
Ahhh....but what is done is done and there is no need to beat myself up. Time to gain control. I am really super frustrated! I hurt my back and have a muscle spasm since Monday. Just when I want to work out!!!!!!!!!!!! But I saw my Dr. and she said I could walk! I am planning on doing just that....not over doing it...but I need exercise.
Apparently I found out today that there is a family reunion being planned in a month! EVIL .....lol but if I had no motivation before...now is the TIME! I am feeling so lethargic and bloated! I feel saturated with carbs! So I listened to my body and I started eating SB phase 1. I am restricting my carb intake. Only good carbs like veggies and some dairy. I am planning on following this plan for 2 to 3 weeks and gradually introduce better carbs into my world!
So with that said, these are my goals for June:
1. Log in all my food intake...even when I go over on calorieking
2. Walk for 30-45 minutes at the park
3. Take my vitapaks
4. Drink 8 cups of h20
5. Relax and enjoy more outdoor activities!
6. Blog everyday
7. Weigh in every Friday
I have a few things I am happy about! Like almost every other red blooded female I went to see the SATC movie Friday! I loved it! I laughed...I cried....I had an anxiety attack! It was freaking FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my Mr. BIG. Alot of the girls where wearing their cute coktail dresses and heels and I so wanted to be one of them! If I could get my fat butt into my lil black dress! More like Big black dress...lmao!
I am on summer vaction! WOO HOO! I don't go back to work until August 11th! SWEET! I do however have 2 grad school courses I am taking starting June 9th! But I am looking forward to hanging with my school buddies! I miss them....havent hung out since finals in May.
The BFs bday is June 25 and I want to feel sexy again and wear something cute. That is another BIG MOTIVATING FACTOR! I want him to see me make progress! He's been losing weight and I don't want to be this fat will powerless BLOB next to him! I want to show him I can set my mind to it and do it! This weightloss is for me!
I love Madonna's new single "Give it to me" I put it on my ipod!!! I need some good jams to keep me motivated!
I was so glad to get together with my friends on friday's SATC premeir. One of my best friends looked great! I am happy for her but it motivated me as well. I guess you can call it some healthy friendvy!
So glad to be back! Onward and Downward EP buddies!!!!!!
I haven't posted in awhile because life just gets in the way. I have been on my road to transformation for 25 days now and I have lost 5 lbs so far. I am happy with my progress and I am proud of myself for sticking to this for this long. I am very motivated and something inside me tells me that this time things will be different. I am looking at food and exercise in a whole new way. The foods that are bad for me are no longer irresistable. I don't even want them now. When I have some of the bad food it doesn't taste as good as I remember. I think abou what I put into my body and what effect it will have on me. I am viewing food and exercise as an investment in myself. FOr this I am proud!
Today, however has been a tough day. It began great! I was pumped about all my accomplishments and all my goals seemed to reachable. Then all of a sudden I got so mad and for no good reason! BLAZING MAD. I locked myself in my office and did not want to see anyone! What is wrong with me? I don't want to be this angry person! So now I am mad at myself. I started thinking about all these things that bother me and wanted to cry. I have a wave of sadness and I refuse to cry! I feel like I am sabotaging myself!
I know one of the things that is really bothering me is that my bf broke up with me. I have finally accepted that it is over and it is for the best. I am okay with it or so I thought! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders when we broke up but obviously there's more beneath the surface.
What's with the mood swings? TOM is 2 weeks away. I really want to work out!!!!!! I want to release all these emotions that I am carrying but I have Stats class tonight! I am going to try to hit the gym tonight!!!!! I need to release! Thanks for the vent EP buddies! Hope your day was more sane than mine!
I have been so busy lately, I havent had a chance to post.
I am happy to report that I did my 1st Zumba class with my sis today. OMG it was a real workout. My muscles are still throbbing.I absolutely loved it. According to the zumba website, you burn 700 calories doing the 1 hr workout. I am really excited to try to master zumba.
On another note-I have been keeping up my food journal. I am keeping my calorie intake at 1500. I am on week 2 workout 3 of C25K. I am very proud of myself! I notice when I take eat better and exercise, I better care of myself . If I keep this up all week, I am getting a mani and pedi and a massage. My muscles need it!
I am siked for this 10 lbs challenge! I am hoping for a loss on Friday!
I completely agree! I was bummed that I was bad eating wise on Sat & Sun but then I thought if I get down I am more likely to fall off the wagon. This teaches me a lesson that each and everyday I have the opportunity to make a better choice for me. I am tired of being overweight. I want to be healthy and yes...I want to be sexy. I feel my weight holds me back from so many things including the person I want to be! SO with that said, I will PERSIST to make better eating and fitness choices for myself. I am determined to get to my goal!!!
My mini goal is to lose 20 lbs by May 2nd! So far I've lost 4 and I think this goal is attainable. I am going to the Glow in the Dark tour with Kanye West and Rhianna and I want to look good in my jean capris.
SO far today I have:
Taken my nephew to see Horton Hears a Who-he had the kids pak I had a small popcorn (no butter-tempting but no) 100 calorie candy , and a diet coke
I went to the gym and did 55 min of cardio and burned 468 cals
Ate a vegetaria sloppy joe (200 cals) fresh spinach, raw veggies with hummus and sugar free jello
I am trying to cut down on the snacking but I realize at times I need a little something to tide me over so I don't devour everything in sight. What are some healthy snacks that you use?
I am so mad at myself!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am eating like there is no tomorrow and I haven't been to stop! Saturday and today is a blur of BBQ, brownie with ice cream, and cheesecake eating destruction! I am so disgusted with myself. It's as if I decided hey those 4 lbs gave me license to stuff my face! It's probably down to 2 lbs now after all the havoc I have caused my body!
I want to kick my own azz!!!!!!!!! Maybe I will! I am extremely sore but I am draggin my butt to the gym! I am DETERMINED TO GO! I accept full responsibility for my mistakes and vow to be better today and the rest of the week!
Hope your Easter weekend is better than mine. If not, we can make the coming week a better one. Take care EP buddies!
well today started as any normal Saturday. I slept in and my friend called to invite me to breakfast. I met two of my friends at IHOP and decided I was going to eat what I wanted consciously. I ordered the Vive la French Toast with scrambled egg whites and canadian bacon. I only ate half of my french toast and I used sugar free syrup. I also drank a tall glass of OJ. Overall, I was happy that I didn't over do it. I felt satisfied not full to the brim. I tried to convince my buds to join me at the gym but they said they were too stuffed. I went to gym all by myself. I did 10 minutes on the bike and remember that BOOT CAMP was today!! I was a lil fearful but I really wanted to mix up my workout a little bit so I decided to go.
I love Saturday boot camp because all the trainers get together and teach the class. They make the room into different workout stations and we alternate between each station doing a different exercise for 1 minute. OMG I was dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. My body was screaming for mercy but I kept keeping on and I finished an hr of boot camp! And let me tell you it was intense.
I am so proud of myself for sticking it out. I plan on going next Saturday until these exercises become a piece of cake to me!
We are having a BBQ today. Can't wait to see my family and I will try to do good.
Take care EP Buddies and enjoy this beautiful Saturday!
Maybe I will! I am extremely sore but I am draggin my butt to the gym! I am DETERMINED TO GO! I accept full responsibility for my mistakes and vow to be better today and the rest of the week!
