Before After

im back..

what a blast from the past huh?? i was just thinking that i used to do alot more posting.. and i looked at my favorites folder.. and oh my goodness! i havne't been here for the longest time.. did ya'll see susan on britains got talent?? and shaheen?? oh my goodness.. the sax guy was good, but i can only watch so much of that.. anyway.. then it led into a whole wasted afternoon of watching last years bgt and you tube.. anyway! nothing much here.. i went on vacation to europe.. it was GREAT! free flying helps with the costs alot! i have been working and (not) working out.. i need to get back to that.. i was thinking about taking a zumba class.. what do you think?
 
 

where i have been missing to, what i have been doing and why i will be missing agian...

so.. i have been doing the jillian michaels dvd.. 30 day shred.. love it..
 
it is making me sore.. mostly in muscles that i don't normally stretch.. like my hamstrings.. especially when i am doing one of the exersizes.. (kicking your own butt.. literally.. ) but other than that.. it is great! i love the format..
 
3 minutes strength, 2 minutes of cardio, 1 minute of abs.. repeat 3x
 
i might have the strength and cardio switched.. but however it is, it is just enough to keep me going..
 
i havne't been running :(
 
i haven't felt up to leaving the house.. BUT i will be going somewhere on wednesday..
 
on the day i will be leaving the house to go to PARIS!
 
i decided a month or two ago.. that i need to reward myself with somehting other than food.. (and i need to go while i can go so cheaply through work)
 
i will be gone a week.. and i am SUPER EXCITED..
 
i just got back on wednesday from amsterdam.. and there is not an easy way for me to get online there.. so i wasn't around for four days.. sorry..
 
anyway,
 
i hope everyone is feeling good and i hope you all have a great week..
 
i will bring back pictures :)
 

guess what i bought...

i bought jillian michaels 30 day shred from TBL.. not the shred from TBL, but jillian from TBL.. i ahvne't done it yet.. but i am super excited to try it!!
 

um..

allergies..

are here! they are not my favorite thing in the world.. but yesterday after my c25k training.. i used my bender ball.. with a medicine ball..
 
it is a great worlout when i do it.. really works my abs.. but i added the medicine ball yesterday.. and i liked it, except..
 
i keep sneezing..
 
and it hurts...
 
alot..
 
hope your allergies aren't bad.. 
 

i heard the magic words today...

at work one of the boys said to me.. d*mn girl.. you are always eating healthy.. i wanna be like you when i grow up.. especially cause you look lik eyou are losing weight...
 
and when i met my friend at the gym.. when i took off my coat to change she looked at me and asked.. have you lost.. like a lot of weight??
 
YES!!
 
not to the losing alot of weight.. but when i start to feel like i am not losing.. someone says something nice
 
:)
 
anyway.. bed time..
 
i hope you all hear the magic words soon!!
 

tomorrow...

i will be going to cancun for a day trip..i won't even be there long enough to get a tan.. or really sit in the sun.. :(
 
but my best friend is comming into town and when i get to the airport she will (cross your fingers!) be there!
 
yay to best friends!!
 
ok. i have to go shave my f*in legs.
 
:)
 

motivation is lacking today..

i don't wanna work out..
 
and
 
TOM is a pain in my abdomen..
 
really..
 
i also have found that i am not feeling like eating in the am.. gotta do it.. i am out of the stuff for my smoothie.. maybe i should just go  buy it.. then i would have ready made breakfast..
 
i have to eat something now..
 
then i have data entry work to do..
 
eww..
 

fundraisers and choices..

i went to a fundraiser for my little cousin.. we played euchre for 5 hours and there were drinks and pizza and soda and salad and brownies and BEER...
and i was really proud of myself.. ok i had 2 brownies.. but i split them with my partner.. and i started a tab with the waitress and told her that i only wanted diet soda with a handful of cherries in it.. she said i could go up to the buffet anytime i wanted for free.. but this way i stayed away from the food.. and had less chance of ordering a real drink..
 
so i drank lots of water.. and probably a little more soda than i should have.. but that is just because i try not to drink soda anymore.. (unless for a special treat i am out.. --plus then i don't drink beer.. which i tend to go overboard on!!)
 
and i ate a piece of pizza.. but i had some salad at the begining of the night.. and a little later when i was feeling 'snacky' and wanted something to eat.. (ok.. plus i had the brownies.. but it is a WOE, not a Never Eat Anything..) choices were made and overall.. i am happy with them..
 
the only problem is that i weigh in tomorrow morning..in about 7 hous.. so i hope that i have at least processed some of that sugar from the soda..
