I AM GOING TO TAKE MY LUNCH BACK HOME AND EAT IT FOR DINNER. I MUST APPLAUD MYSELF I THINK I MADE A GOOD EATING DECSION! ITS GETTING EASIER AND EASIER EVERYDAY.
I AM CHANGING MY WAY IN DAY TO THURSDAY! I WENT TO THIS WEIGHT WATCHER MEETING THIS THURSDAY AND I LOVED IT. EVERYONE WAS SOOOO SOOOO NICE, NOT LIKE THE MEAN WWERS LADY AT MY REGULAR WEIGHT WATCHER. I HATE TO LEAVE THAT ONE BECAUSE I HAD MET SOME NICE PEOPLE BUT I THINK I AM GOING TO MOVE ON TO A NEW WEIGHT WATCHER AND MIX IT UP A LITTLE . SO I HAVE MADE A DECISION I THINK I AM GOING TO TRY OUT THE CORE...HMMM...I AM GOING TO THINK ON THAT ONE.! TALK TO EVERYONE LATER!
Hey everyone!! I hope everyone had a good day today!! My day was great! I just want to say how proud of myself I am and equally everyone on here!!! Even though my weight loss has been slow this time around I am sticking with it. I am pushing myself to greater levels than where I am at now. Truth be told it makes me feel really good when I am work and I am walking up the stairs with a skinny mini and when we get to the top they are out of breath huffing and puffing. I just think to myself your 5'5 145lbs and you can't walk up a flight of stairs!! wow!!!..It makes me feel good and let me know that my work isn't in vain. Just because you are the ideal weight doesnt mean your healthy or in shape!
I went and worked out today and again I sweated like nobody business!! Its really amazing to me how sweaty this suana suit makes you! I can't wait to see the results. Everyone that I talk to about the sauna suit says it works!! Hmmmmm....we shall see I have been drinking plenty of water because I am scared I am going to get dyhydrated with the suana suit so I have been making it my personal business to get in alot of water.
Tomorrow I am going to WWers to weigh in. This isn't my regualar meeting time. But to avoid starting over I had to find a meeting. I am excited I feel like I lost...but I am not going in there expecting anything. I don't want to set myself up for disappointment plus my cycle just went off....but I do have a good feeling...so....heres to WWers tomorrow and plenty of skinny vibes!!
Hey everyone! After work today I came home and took a much deserved nap. I hate coming home from working taking a nap then going to the gym but sometimes I have too, after dealing with rude parents and sick children all day you need something. Well last Friday I bought one of those sauna suits. Thats one of the plastic workout outfits that make you sweat. I hadn't had a chance to use it yet. I got up around 6:30pm and got dressed I eargly put on the sauna suit and went to the gym. No one ever told me this. The sauna suit...is...a sweat sweat machine. I knew I was going to be sweating but I did not know I was going to be sweating like I was. I could actually feel the sweat swishing around espicially in the arm and around my waist. I was like ewwww....not to mention I leaked on the tread mill...double ewww..but you know what thats alright the sauna suit is going to take me a long way. I like it. I probably was sweating like that because I drink alot and mean alot of water. Well I think the 9 dollars I spent on it..will be worth it.
Tomorrow I am going to hit the gym early so that I may go to church. Thats the plan as of right now. To be honest I don't know what tomorrow holds hopefully I can make it to church tomorrow evening. Its gives me a renewed strength when I go in the middle of the week. Plus I have company coming in town for the weekend so I don't even know if I will make it to church on Sunday. So I want to go early to get my blessing. Well I hope everyone continues having a good week. Talk to everyone soon!
HELLO EVERYONE!! I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD WEEKEND AND A GOOD MONDAY! MINE HAS BEEN SO SO. I WASN'T ABLE TO EXCERCISE THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE I WAS IN A WORKSHOP ALL WEEKEND! CAN WE SAY BORING. I WOULD HAVE MUCH RATHERED GO TO THE GYM THEN SIT IN THAT BORING WORKSHOP. I DID DO MY WWERS VIDEO ON SUNDAY WHEN I GOT BACK HOME SO THAT WAS ALL THE EXCERCISE I GOT IN FOR THE WEEKEND! WELL I MISSED WEIGH IN YESTERDAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET HOME UNTIL AFTER 8 . I GOT LOST IN PEACHTREE CITY LOOKING FOR UPS! THAT SUCKED! OH WELL BECAUSE I DIDN'T WEIGH IN LAST WEEK I HAVE TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO WEIGH IN THIS WEEK. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO START OVER! FROM WEEK 1.
WELL I HAD A NON SCALE VICTORY TODAY AT WORK. TODAY WE HAD A CHILLI COOKOFF, AND DESSERT COOKOFF, THEY HAD COCONUT CAKE, BANANNA PUDDING, CARAMEL, AND CARROT CAKE, AND OF COURSE CHILLI CHILLI CHILLI! WHEN I WALKED IN IT WAS LIKE MY EYES WERE BIGGER THAN MY STOMACH. BUT I SAID TO MYSELF "NO HEIDI, YOU WILL NOT EAT ANY CAKE YOU WILL GET HALF A CUP OF CHLLI AND SIT DOWN" I SAID THAT TO MYSELF ABOUT 2 TIMES. AND I DID JUST THAT I SAT DOWN WITH MY HALF OF CUP OF CHILLI AND ENJOYED IT. I WAS FULL FROM THE WATER THAT I HAVE BEEN DRINKING ALL DAY ANYWAY. I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE I OVERCAME THE TEMPTATION AND I SAID NO! I AM FINDING IT EASIER AND EASIER TO SAY NO! I MUST ADMIT IT TAKES SOME TIME TO LEARN HOW TO SAY NO! BUT ITS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE DONE! I AM DOING GOOD AND I DONT WANT TO RUIN ALL MY HARD WORK. PLUS I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE GUILT! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD DAY! I WILL CHECK IN AFTER THE GYM THIS EVENING!
Hey everyone!! I hope everyone had a good day. My day was cold. It was freezing when I got up this morning and its even colder tonight. We are supopose to get a little wintery mix tonight..wow...hard to believe since the weather has been in the upper sixty's. Well anywho. I got home and changed and went straight to the gym to get my work out on. I had a meeting tonight so I wanted to make sure I got a work out in before heading to the meeting at 7pm. I did it again 15 mintues on the stairmaster. I felt great afterwards. I really feel as though I am achieving something. To be honest I really wanted to get off. I talked myself into staying on once I got to 12 mintues. I figured I could do 3 more minutes, and I did. I feel like a million bucks.!
My friend who is getting married on July 28th we talked today and she told me that she needed to..I need to start working out for the wedding of course. After talking we both came to the conclusion she just really needs to maintain the weight she is at because her dress fits perfectly she doesn't even need altering. If she looses she doesn't need to loose much. Well I then asked her. How bad does she want it?! The question I ask myself everyday, since reading Kim (moanie_cream) blog..How bad do I really want this. Those are questions we have to ask. We as people always want everything handed to us, we don't want to work at, or we do just enough to get by. I am here to say I don't want to be that person, not now or anymore. If I can't commit or give a 110% then I don't want to. Sometimes we can be our own obstacles. We can be our handicapps! I am not going to be that. I know I want to quit everyday. Its days I think I am going to be like this the rest of my days. But I know thats what the devil wants me think. I am not stutting him. I am going to make it and achieve my goal. Even though the wedding dates are getting closer and closer I still can loose the 60lbs. I am not giving up hope. I REFUSE TO QUIT!! I am out to bed talk to everyone later!
Okay first things first! I didn't weigh in yesterday because being the good friend that I am I went to pick up my friend from the airport thinking I would be back in time for my WWer meeting. Well sike my mind. I didn't get back until 10min to eight. Therefore I am going to try and hit up another weight watcher meeting somewhere else this week.
I have the greatest news!! You guys aren't really ready for this. Yes people I did it 15 MINUTES ON THE STAIRMASTER! The stairmaster and I have a love hate relationship. I stopped trying to get on there trying to do all these diffrent programs. I stepped back and decided to start over on the stairmaster. We got off to a bad start. I am on the manuel program now. But I am burning more calories than being on the fat burner program on the stairmaster. I have the stairmaster set on a challeging level, when I got off tonight I was drinched in sweat! Yes!! Thats what I like to see!! Doing those 15 minutes just let me know that I am making it! I have came a long way, and I still have a long way to go! But I am making it!
This has not been easy an easy journey for me thus far. But everyday I just keep telling myself I am going to make it. I have a goal to obtain. I have a greater purpose in life. I don't know what it is yet but its out there and I am going to find it! I love and cherish this website. It has given me endless support and motivation. Thanks you guys! If I have to recommit myself every month, every week, everyday, and every second that is what I am going to do. If the scale doesn't give me the results I want I am not going to cry or dwell over it I am going to pick up the pieces and keep going. My motto for the year is: Refuse to quit! Thats in everything excercising, eating right, school, etc. Marcus Garvey said.: " IF YOU HAVE NOCONFIDENCE IN SELF YOU ARE TWICE DEFEATED IN THE RACE OF LIFE. WITH CONFIDENCE YOU HAVE WON BEFORE YOU HAVE EVEN STARTED!" That is a powerful statement. I want everyone to think and meditate on that statement and then apply it to your life.! I hope everyone has a good evening!
I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A WONDERFUL WEEKEND! MY WEEKEND HAS BEEN RELAXING YET BUSY. I WASN'T ABLE TO GO TO THE GYM LIKE I USALLY DO ON SATURDAY MORNING. MY FRIEND TICA WAS IN TOWN, WE WERE SUPPOSE TO BE GOING TO FIND A HOTEL TO HAVE HER SISTER BACHALORETTE PARTY. HER SISTER IS THE ONE GETTING MARRIED ON JUNE 23RD WHOSE WEDDING I AM IN. WELL OF COURSE WE ARE BOTH IN THE WEDDING. FOR HER SISTER BACHLORETTE PARTY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY. MY FRIEND DOES NOT WANT STRIPPERS SO THERE GOES THE ENTERTAINMENT THEY WERE DISCUSSING TO STILL GETTING HER SOME STRIPPERS AND I WAS LIKE NOPE...THAT COST PLENTY OF MONEY IF SHE DOES NOT WANT THEM DON'T GET THEM PLUS YOU DON'T WANT TO RISK THE CHANCE OF HER GETTING UPSET. SO EVERYONE OUT THERE IN EP LAND IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS WHAT WE CAN DO FOR FUN AT THIS BACHALORETTE PARTY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. SO FAR I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE PASSION PARTY PEOPLE TO COME OUT. THATS WHEN THEY SELL THE LINGERIE AND SEX TOYS.
WELL TICA LEFT SATURDAY EVENING. I WENT TO DREADED WALMART THEN CAME BACK HOME TO RELAX THE REST OF MY EVENING. THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. WELL I WAS CHANNEL SURFING LOOKING FOR SOMETHING GOOD TO WATCH ON TELEVISION. I HAVE ON DEMAND SO I DECIDED TO WATCH A MOVIE. WELL WHILE LOOKING FOR A MOVIE I HEARD AN ADVERTISMENT FOR A EXCERCISE SHOW THAT COMES ON AND THEY ADVERTISED THE HEALTH AND EXCERCISE TAB..MY EARS PERKED UP...I WAS LIKE WOW..COULD THIS BE...AND YES PEOPLE IT IS..I NEVER KNEW THEY HAD EXCERCISE PROGRAMS ON DEMAND. JUST INCASE YOU DON'T HAVE ON DEMAND. THATS WHEN YOU CAN WATCH A PROGRAM ANYTIME YOU LIKE. OLD EPISODES THAT YOU MISSED OR MOVIES. YOU JUST PUSH PLAY.YOU CAN PAUSE START OVER ITS LIKE A BUILT IN DVD OR VCR. KNOWING THAT I HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO EXCERCISE. I HAVE ON DEMAND I CAN EXCERCISE PRETTY MUCH..ON MY DEMAND! ISN'T THAT AWESOME AND JUST TO THINK I WAS GOING TO DOWNGRADE. MY CABLE IS MY MOST EXPENSIVE BILL. BUT I LIKED ON DEMAND BUT I DON'T WATCH THAT MUCH TV SO I DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP PAYING HIGH CABLE BILLS..BUT I MIGHT JUST SUCK IT UP AND KEEP IT. YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE SOMETIMES AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM GOING TO DO.
WELL I HAVE SOME SCHOOL WORK TO WORK ON BEFORE HITTING THE GYM. TA TA FOR NOW..HAVE A HAPPY SUNDAY!
Hey Everyone....I took me some me time and regrouped myself yesterday! I didn't go to the gym..when I came home from work I took some me time and meditated on life...and loosing weight. I was pretty bummed out on Monday, its okay though I am back to myself now. I am not going to wollow in my self pity thats for sure. I could have gained but I didn't so I am greatful. I just have to keep motivating myself. I want to THANK everyone from the bottome of my heart for all the kind comments. Its because of you guys that I didn't dwell on it. You girlies really know how to make someone feel better.
Well anyway I went to the gym today...I had a goodwork out..but to tell you the truth and maybe I am wrong for saying this. I will be glad when the resolution people faze away. All the equipment is taken up and people can be inconsiderate. At my gym they ask that you limit yourself to 20 mins on the equipment if its crowded. Well tonight. It was crowded every machine was taken and the class was full. I had to wait like 10 min to get on the treadmill. What peed me off is you walk by some people and they been on the treadmill like 45min. All I am saying is get off and move on and let someone else get on. Despite the crowd I was still able to get a very good workout on. I am going to be ready for the scale next week... I need not worry about the scale, the scale should be worried about me because I am out for blood
I am glad this week is almost over. I have a busy weekend planned, but I am defitnitly throwing the gym in the mix. Saturdya and Sunday. Thats when I can really let loose at the gym, its not crowded, its just me and about 5 other people who I see there every weekend, we can stay on the equipment as long as we want to. Its heaven..Well I hope everyone have a good rest of the week..
What! Are u serious! Another disappointment at the scales. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am eating right, drinking more than enough water, but still no lost. I went into WWers, knowing, I did great. I got on the scale and to my disappointment just .2lbs..I looked at my card, and I wanted to turn and walk out the door. I am just really disappointed. I am doing all the right things and eating the right things. I am tracking my points and I am just really getting frustrated with myself. I refuse to quit, I have came to far, to quit now.. its just frustrating. I loose, I gain...I loose 4lbs just to gain 2...I really need the scale to continue to go downward. ummm...I am through for the night I don't even have the will to post. Just frustrated. I am going to try not to stress over. Tomorrow is a new day....who know what's in store for me! Goodnight everyone.
I have been drinking plenty of water because I am scared I am going to get dyhydrated with the suana suit so I have been making it my personal business to get in alot of water.
