New Beginning... AGAIN.
I had a good weekend. It ended up snowing Thursday morning and was still snowing by the time I got up. I had plans to leave earlier in the day for Seattle to spend my weekend with
Misty but didn't find a friend who was willing to drive me to the ferry until late afternoon. So, I did get there eventually! I had fun, we went movie hunting and gave up and got some pizza for dinner and then found the movie on PS3. I know, pizza right? Buuut I did drink lots of water. I even brought my 32oz bottle with me! I did have some ice cream but I passed on the hot cocoa. I forgot that Thursday was my weigh in so I ended up weighing myself
Friday morning. I had lost another two pounds, which is 5 pounds total
so far!! On Friday, we came back to my side of the water and went to a Chinese buffet with the boys. It was sooo yummy and I knew I shouldn't have been eating alot of it, but it was a buffet and Misty and her BF rarely come over to my side. We left the boys to their video games and Misty and I eventually grabbed some coffee and did a little bit of shopping. We picked up a new workout DVD! We sat down and planned out on how we're going to motivate and help each other lose weight and get through school. I really wish she moved over to my side of the water already, things would be soo much easier and a gazillion times more fun!!
So tomorrow (Sunday) will be the first day of our new "workout plan". I even bought a new scale (digital). The readings are slightly different from the scale I have been using, so I imagine that on my chart, my weight is going to go up. We even came up with a new Curves plans. Instead of going Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday like I have been- It has been changed to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We'll be doing our workout dvd on our off-Curves day.
I'm soo excited!
I bought a bag of Quakers Rice Cakes, they're sooo yummy!

Hmm. =\
It didn't snow last night, as they predicted. So I had to force myself out of bed and get to work early. My shift didn't start until 930am, but we had a department meeting at 730am, so I had to get there at 700am-ish. Plus, today we had to bring our presents for our Secret Santa exchange. I ended up writing my name on the Christmas card because I figured they would like to know who shopped for them, but when I recieved mine there wasn't anything on/in the bag/present but my own name. I've asked everyone who works the day shift and they don't know who it was from.
I was assigned to walk the floor-- I work in a casino and so it's 7.5 hours of continuous walking-- pushing in chairs, bending over to pick up trash, picking up after guests, getting into machines. Plus it's really smoky and makes me sweat.
By the time I was off work, I was exhausted. My friend told me to skip Curves tonight because she was afraid I would pass out. My eyes were blood shot and I had a slight headache, but I did have enough energy.
I had more energy than I did last night. I made it Curves and feel really good right now. Thanks to Jenny*in*London's reply on my last blog, I know what I should buy at the grocery store.
While at Curves, I stepped onto their scale and it ready 1-2 lbs more than I was when they had measured me. Now, at first I was freaking out, but then I remembered that muscle weighs more than fat... So I'm hoping that I am losing, I'm just gaining more muscle mass.. But my question is- will my weight numbers get down to 135, or am I going to stay at my 215 pounds and just look smaller?

Pigging out.
I must be stressed or something, I can't seem to control the eating.
I haven't been doing so great since Thursday, and I know that being lazy definitely played a big role.
I skipped Curves last night because I had to do some errands after work. I hate that the bank closes so early. I had McDonald's for dinner.. when I knew I would regret it. But, I was tired already and I was stressed about my laundry. Since it's gotten down to 20-degrees F, my pipes froze and now I have to go to my grandmother's house to do laundry. Just more gas I have to put out. 
I had to drag my butt to Curves after work. I really didn't want to go, but I ate so much throughout the whole day, I felt obligated to do something nice for my body. I didn't really have the energy to do anything, which made the workout even more intense. Boy did my arms and thighs burn..
I think I need to figure out a different Curves schedule. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday works really well with my work schedule, but then I'm left with Thursday-Sunday with minimum workouts. Especially Saturday & Sunday.
Anyone have any ideas on how to control my eating? I bought a 32 oz. waterbottle that I plan on using everyday. I'm going to fill it up twice a day and make sure I drink it all. They say we're suppose to drink 8 glasses a day.. Maybe that will help..
I weighed myself today and it showed that I had gone up one pound! So I definitely need to be strict with myself. I also need to buy one of those digital scales that way my weigh-ins will be more accurate..
MY NEW GOAL:
I want to lose at least ten pounds (if not more)
by my birthday- mid January!!

I'm so lazy.
I've been feeling so lazy these past few days. I still worked out with Misty, but it wasn't as intense as I usually do. But my body is achy, so I guess that's a good sign. They're predicting snow this weekend, but it's Washington- so we never know what to expect. I hope it does snow though, I absolutely love it, and it always puts me in a good mood. I just hate the part where I have to stay at home alone with no power. I hope my house phone line will work- I've reached my plan minutes and my cell is low on battery juice. I could just workout in the dark. Do a few sit ups, jumping jacks, run in place. Haha. I don't know..
I can tell you that I had Jack in the Box today and I really regret it. I feel even MORE lazy and sick, and I want money back. Hah.

Three pounds?
Yesterday, I almost didn't make it to Curves after work. But I some how changed my mind and made it. I'm glad that I did though!
I did go today, and my friend Gin made it as well! It was nice chatting with her, and it made the workout even more enjoyable!
I've been eating a lot better too, making better choices of what I enter into my body. I ended up hoping on the scale and it said I've gone down three pounds.. But I'm not getting my hopes up. I just started last week and I know that this will take time! But I'm doing my official weigh in on Thursday..

What are friends for?
I'm glad that Mistacious has decided to come join me on this adventure..
Once again, lol.
She's my bff, my motivator, my inspiration, my sister!
We can do this.. We will do this!!
Just have to believe.
I woke up to find Misty ready to workout with me. 
But at least we had worked up a good sweat.
