I guess I have been a lil MIA lately. I cant really say I have been busy cause I dont have a job, I just dont really have much to write about. BUT I need to write because I found when I dont write on a regular basis I fall off the wagon. I havent been to the gym at all this month. Now I havent gained any weight back and in fact I have lost but I could have lost alot more if I kept working out.Tomorrow I am getting back to the gym and staying there. However I think I am only going to work out 4 days a week because I think if I try to do 6 like I ws I will get burnt out again. I think 4 is a good number. June 15th I am starting a class for medical receptionist. Its so hard to find a job and I am hoping this lil class will help me. They offer job placement so I figure with my exp w. office work this class will just be the extra help I need. I hope so cause I need to get out of this basement apt and back out on my own. I hate not having my own apt. My mom is getting on my nerves more then ever before. We have never gotten along and this is just getting worse and worse. We've never had a daughter mother relationship In fact I cant even recall the last time she has told me she loved me and no its not that she just isnt one of those moms who says it alot because she tells my brothers and my sister every time they get off the phone or see eachother...I dont even know why I am writing about this guess I just had to get it off my chest and I'd rather write then stuff my face ( HEY thats a plus!!! lol )..
Anyways Amiya is pretty much potty trained once she was "ready" she picked it up really fast. She still wears pull ups at night and when we go out to the store. Although I have slowly been taking her out in public with out a pull up
depending on where we are going and she is doing pretty good with it.
Today I was feeling soo lazy. I feel like once one little thing happens that isnt "planned" it messes up my entire day.. I went to get up to go to the gym and my friend called seeing if I could babysit because her sons aunt was MIA and she was late for class so I said yea since all her family was in NY. Well I had him from 10 till 3:30 and I got nothing done. He just crys and crys unless you hold him ( so different from Amiya ) so when she came and got him I still wasnt showered and in such a blah mood. I did not want to go to they gym at all my TOM wont seem to go away and i just wanted to shower and go to bed. In fact thats what I was going to do I even layed out my PJs for when I got out of the shower. But while I was in the shower I thought to myself ok I might not feel like working out but thats when i need to do it the most so I stay motivated. A year from now I wont remember not wanting to go to the gym, I wont remember how tired I was and it wont kill me if I go Soooo I got out of the shower and I put on my gym clothes and I went. And let me tell you it was a great work out. It started off bad - meaning I had a bad attitude and I didnt want to be there- but then I was just like whatever I am going to give it my all and I did and now I feel GREAT. Im so glad I got over my little lazy moment. Im glad i didnt let me not working out in the morning ruin my day because working out at night is better than nothing- I have this thinking that working out in the morning is better for you I have no idea why I think that but I do, so when I miss a morning work out my mind thinks the whole day is ruined lol - So I am happy
Also I found out my pell grant is good for my summer semester and I will have about 1K left over after tuition and books so I can finally get my own labtop. And tomorrow my unemployment should be in my account which is a good thing because I lost my job and I have bills that automatically get taken out from my account sooo Im about-78$ now in my account UGHHHHHH but hopefully tomorrow it will be all fixed..
Anyways super excited about Biggest Loser Im upset w. who got sent home this week but Im excited for te finale to see everyone I think we have one more week and then the finale but Im still excited
Thats the only word to sum up how I feel right now. I lost 4.4 lbs this week at my weight watchers weigh in. If I ate 100% on track it would have been more but my TOM is going on and I tend to eat alot during that time... Anyways I think I might be addicted to working out.. Its pretty much all I think about ( remember I dont have job so its like what I live to do lol ) Today I worked out in the morning and then tonight I went to the gym at 8 and when I got in my car to go home it was 10!!!! Tonight this really cute trainer ( my eye candy at the gym lol ) came up to me and was like wow I see you here all the time now, I havent seen you before and now I see you like everyday and sometimes twice a day and we sat and talked about my job loss and how I decided to use the time to finally focus on me and get back in shape and all and he was like well I can tell your determined when you work out you really put your all into it and then he was like if you want any pointers you can always come and ask me.. I was sooo excited lol I know I have been putting in alot of work but for one of the trainers to notice just gave me a lil self esteem boost!!! Anyways Im beat so Have a good night!
Im not very good at coming up with catchy titles lol.... Anyways Im very excited to see this weeks weigh in I know its only thursday but I have been so on plan this week so far I have worked out 4 times and my eating has been great. So Im excited. I feel soo good and Im excited because they have a daycare but Amiya has never been in daycare so before when I would try to take her there when I worked out she would end up screaming and they would come get me and I wouldnt be able to finish my work out well today I took her and she loved it she didnt want to leave so its going to be sooo much easier now so Im happy about that... Anyways just wanted to give a little update. It weird now that I am out of work you'd think I would have so much time to post but I get so wrapped up in things I forget I will try to be better at it
So today I started back at the gym and it felt sooo good! I got up at 615 and worked out for about 1.5 hours then tonight I finally went to the step aerobics class and let me tell you it kicked my butt! I looked like a fool and messed up on basically all the steps but I worked up a really good sweat like my shirt was soaking wet its gross but at the same time it felt good to know I worked out so hard. Even if I looked like a fool and didnt know what I was doing I was moving and moving equals burning calories. Also I didnt go over my points at all today so I was excited about that!!!
yup you read that right.. last wend I got layed off my job.. I was upset at first but now Im looking on the brighter side, its a brand new start. I filed unemployment, and will probably stay on unemployment for a couple months. I want to take this time to stay home with my daughter focus on school and get Amiya potty trained. I know some people dont agree with it but I see it as I have been paying taxes since I was 16, I have never cheated the system and its not like I will just be sitting @ home doing nothing,I wont even be collecting any sort of welfare just my unemployment benifits... I will still be going to school so I dont have to have another dead end job and its going to be nice to spend time w. my daughter and focus on school.... Anyways I had to go to NY for my brothers wife babyshower and Easter and to go to a memorial for the victims of the shooting ( Im from Binghamton) anyways after all of that I was certain I gained.. My WW wi is on Sunday but that was easter so I went today.. and I am down 1.2 I was soooo happy with that because I didnt record my points or work out and I ate alot of junk. but I didnt go to over board.. how patetic is this I had to spray my candy with perfume so I wouldnt eat any more lol... But time for bed I will try to catch up on everyones blogs tomorrow!!!
So I had a horrible day yesterday eating wise. I went over 18 points!!!!! The thing with counting points is it opens your eyes to how bad you ate before and it really helps explain why you are so over weight. I didnt realize what two bowls of pasta equalled up to!!! My LORD was I shocked and all I could think about was all those times I would eat 2 - 3 helpings ( and by helpings I dont mean the recommeneded serving size I mean 2-3 bowls full.. so when I measured it out and calculated my points after 2 bowls ( each bowl had 2 cups of pasta ) I was blown away. And yest I had a sprite from the vending machine a 20oz bottle it is was 4 points.. I used to drink like 2-3 every day!!!!! SO although it killed me yesterday I did learn alot, and it really opened my eyes to the things I was eating and drinking. Also I learned the hard way the importance of preplanning your day point wise!
YAY me I finally figured out how to put a picture in my posts and not just have it in my album!!! Anyways this was taken this past weekend.. I wish my daughter wasnt in little boy clothes because I love this picture of us. I hardly ever get a pic of us with her smiling lol..Plus this is like the only pic I have were I actually think she looks like me.. She is the spitting image of her dad, but in the picture I think we have the same chubby cheeks and smile so I love it =-)....Dont mind my messy self either it was a relaxing evening! Anyways just wanted to share!!!
So I think I had a really good week. Today I had my Weigh In at Weight Watchers, I was really nervouse because alot went on this week and I know your body does crazy things under Stress.. My best friend from NY came you knwo the kind... Super Skiny that loves to eat out and can eat anything. I did really good though we ate out 3 times and went to cold stone 2 times!!! But I did good and didnt give in to all the bad foods and I pickes the healthier stuff. One trip to Cold Stone I had a fruit smoothy instead of ice cream but the second time I had the like it size so im happy about that I didnt deprive my self but I didnt go over board either.. Also Im sure most of you heard about the shooting in Binghamton NY. Where the man went into a building and killed 13 then himself. Well Binghamton is the town I am from- I was so worried because for the longest they wouldnt give the names of the victims matter of fact I didnt find out the names until today and sadly one of the victims was a regular fill in teacher at my high school when I went. I am so upset about this whole thing and now that I have found out I know one of the victims my stress and emotions just got worse. She was the sweetest old lady. She was 72 and was still teaching! She was just a filling in at the civic center that day she wasnt even supposed to be there. Its just a sad day for alot of people in Binghamton but I am proud of myself because I usually eat my feelings and this week I didnt. So not only did I do good with my friend in town I also did good waiting to find out what happened in Binghamton and who the victims were.. I lost 3.2 lbs So I am very excited for that! Anyways Im just going to ask if you can keep all the victims and thier family & friends in your prayers. Even the shooters family because im sure they are going through alot having to deal with the fact that someone in their family is responsible for taking 13 lives then his own.
So I just read this, after I had already posted my first blog here this morning how crazy is that. My blog this morning talked about changing and making new goals and then read my horoscope crazy I usually dont believe in them but it is fun when they are so similar!

Overview
The beginning of the year isn't the only time that you get to make resolutions about your life. If you want change, there is no time like the present! It's a good day for making a fresh start, for turning over a new leaf, and for putting bad habits behind you. You shouldn't wait any longer -- especially if you feel the urge to change now. You have clarity, which isn't always going to be the case. So cut out the bad and start focusing more on the new.
