positive thoughts, positive thoughts
So I just found out that the company I've been working for will be shutting it's doors as of Jan. 31st 2010. When is MI going to turn around? I don't even know what to think...
But on a positive note, I got my gym membership reactivated so I think that will help my stress and everything...
No big updates, haven't lost anymore but I'm pushing forward...That's all we can do...
I hope everyone's having a good week

So yea...
The dog sitting basically offset a week and a half of horrible eating...I get so frustrated with myself!! I actually do okay until the night time so if anyone has any suggestions to help me not eat in the evening, I would really appreciate it!
So I have a new goal for myself...I want to have lost (or close to) 30 lbs by December 13th. That is my boyfriend and I's 1 year anniversary! I love him so much and he totally loves me for me! But since him and I have started dating, I've gained 16 lbs!! It's funny what love does to you! You go out to eat here, dessert there, drinks whereever....It definitely creeps up on ya and in the meantime I feel bad for him because I'm so self-consicous around him...I don't feel sexy and always wanting to cover up! And not cover up in THAT sense but just going out and being in the public, I'm finding whatever covers me up the best and call it good.
This needs to happen...I look at pics of peope that are at a "normal" weight and I don't get how food is just fuel to them. I've been 63 lbs heavier than what I am right now so I've come a long way but food has always been an issue in my life. I want to lead a healthy life and not get down about myself because whenever I'm feeling depressed, it 99.9% stems from food or the aftermath of what I just ate. Sorry I just want to be honest on my posts and hopefully a couple of people can relate!
So from here on out, I will leave each post with a number counting down from 30...Here we go!!:)
30:)

there's always going to be something...
Whoever's reading this, I hope you're having a great week! Tomorrow's FRIDAY...wahoo!:)
So this weekend looks like there could be some major temptations! I'm staying at a friends house to dog sit and I know that when I'm not in my comfort zone it's so easy to order out or pick up a couple things from the grocery store. But I'm bringing workout clothes and hoping to stay active the whole time I'm there!! The worst time for me is if I'm alone at night and I'm not tired...It's straight up bordem and there's no other excuse! I'm hoping that I am focused and don't let food get the best of me! Because we all know how we feel the next day after a binge...sometimes it almost feels like a hangover; stomach ache, etc...either that or I'm so mad at myself that the horrible cycle starts again! Sorry I'm being so up front and honest.
Here's to a happy and healthy weekend! I'll post either on Sunday or Monday to let you know how everything went.:)

i can't wait for fall
Off to work! I didn't have that good of an eating day yesterday...not that i ate a ton of high fat/calorie things, it was A LOT of healthy foods. When you're eating because you're bored and eating too much healthy foods then that is not good. That is always my problem on my days off. I work in retail and my days off are on random days throughout the week which is usually spent by myself. And yesterday in particular, I was super bummed. I got up at 8am like I have been for the past 9 days or so andwas renewing my membership at a certain workout facility. They said that it would take 2 weeks to approve and that they could not give me a temporary membership!! I've been working out really hard for the past week and was getting on this great schedule and now I have to workout outside!! I know it's not the worst thing in the world but you know when you're on a schedule and you're getting used to it? I guess that's life though...you have to take it as it comes and if that means working out outside then so be it!!!
I hope you all are having a great start to the week...I'm off to work!!:)

Here I sit on a Saturday night...
Soooo it's Saturday night and here I am typing away on my blog! My bf is gone for the night and I am absolutely exhausted from work so I decided to stay in. If we went back about 2.5 years ago I would have been out on the town, partying it up with my friends...Priorities have definitely shifted. It's so hard to even want to go out for a couple cocktails because that means extra calories!! Also, having to work tomorrow doesn't make me want to go out AT ALL. I cannot wait to actually USE my college degree and get out of retail!!!
Anyways...lol...I'm trying to train again for the 25k that is next May. I ran in the 5th/3rd 25k this past May (which is the biggest 25k in the nation) and I was not ready. So here I go training again! I ran 2.25 this morning before work and Iran 4 miles before work on Friday. Running seems to be the only exercise that truly gets my butt into shape!! So my dad, who is 50, is running in a 50 mile race in about 2 months. I am hoping to lose 15-20 lbs by the time I am there! It's kind of sad that my parents are super runners and I can't seem to stay on track with eating healthy and exercising.:P
So I posted a couple new pics so feel free to look! I hope everyone had a wonderful day!!

So I thought I'd give this a try again...I'm at 197.2 and continually pushing towards a healthy lifestyle...I will update more tomorrow with a new blog and new pics...

I DID IT!!
I HIT MY TEN PERCENT GOAL!!!!
And I'm a pound away from being in onederland!!! So happy right now...
I learned so much from my WW leader today. She was talking about the challenges we all face when losing weight. The main point she was getting at is that you have to make a lifestyle change. I know we've all heard that but it's so true. She was also saying that just because you had a "bad meal" doesn't mean your whole day/week is ruined. I know this is all information we know but it's nice to be told again.
It's so weird to know I will (hopefully) be under 200 pounds in the next week or couple weeks...I haven't been that size in four years...I see myself changing and I'm so excited! When my WW leader said that my next ten percent goal is 180, I just looked at that number and was like, wow. I'm going to be 180 pounds and it's not that far away! I can do that in four months and be bridesmaid ready by Oct. 27th! I know it's easier said than done but if you stick with whatever weight loss program you are on, it will work. It's just staying on it 110% and I always struggle with that. I just need to truly commit myself 110% for the next four months and feel the best I can about myself when I'm in my brothers wedding...
I'll be up north for most of the week so I'm not sure how often I can post. Either way I hope everyone has a good one!
Happy 4th!

Nothing really new here. I really focused on my workouts this week and I can definitely feel it.

oh my HOT
It is a hot one out today! So I set my alarm for 7:30 to go walking/running this morning but of course I hit the snooze button...soooo 7:30 turned into 9:30 which turned into 10. You would think a couple hours wouldn't make a difference but it DEFINITELY did. I'm not usually one to get dizzy or overheated but that happened today. I don't know how much more water I can drink to stay hydrated though! I'm drinking about 96 oz of water a day...
Today should be pretty low key. I don't have anything to do until my 6 to 9 class tonight.
Well I hope everyone has an amazing day and try to stay cool!
Sara
