Down 6.5 pounds

Hey there ladies and gents!!!

 I feel pretty good today! I got on the scale yesterday morning and I am down 6.5 pounds!! I am totally doing the happy dance!! I haven’t been working out, but I have been really careful about what I am eating. Apparently it is working pretty well :)

I have been bringing my lunch to work every day, I am also measuring my cereal in the morning. I think it is a great way for me to start my day. I start right off the bat doing something for my diet and it puts me in a great frame of mind for the rest of the day. I know that I need to start getting some activity in and I am going to keep trying.

I have this next week off because of the holiday. I work in the school system, it is a great time for me to work on my schedule. I can try to set a doable daily schedule to get used to this week.

 Here is too another great week!

Have a good holiday guys!

Feeling Pretty good today

I am having a day that is out of the ordinary. That is good for me tho, because the ordinary has been pretty sad and depressed lately. Today I woke up early, because of the time change, and I felt good. I know don’t know how to explain it, but when I opened my eyes, it was the first time in weeks when I didn’t want to roll over and go back sleep.

I think I knew yesterday that I was on the way up. I actually cooked yesterday- Homemade Mushroom Ravioli. They were AMAZING! and I don’t even like Mushrooms! How odd, huh? Why make something when I don’t even like the main ingredient. I guess my gut (pardon the pun) knew something my tastebuds didn’t. So I cooked, and clean the kitchen when I was done.

This morning, when I woke up I had breakfast, unloaded the dishes, and jumped on the scale. I AM DOWN 6.5 pound from the last time I was on it!! I am not sure when that was…last weekend, or maybe the weekend before. I am so excited! It doesn’t matter when it was, DOWN is DOWN! Hurray! That helped my mood even more, so I turned on the radio and cleaned my room, did some laundry, and am going to get started on some homework when I am done here.

I am cooking Enchiladas tonight. I know that isn’t the most healthy thing in the world, but here is my theory- What ever I cook at home is still more healthy than anything I would get at a fast food joint. AND not only is it not fried and greasy, but I can control what does into it. That way I know that it is decent products that I am using (white chicken breasts that aren’t fatty) and I always try to eat a salad with whatever the other thing is  (Ravioli, Enchiladas, or just a sandwich). I know you die hard diet people wouldn’t necessarily agree with, that is ok, but I know that it is working for me. I am making small changes that hopefully will stick with me. I know that if I do that it will snowball and make some real changes.

 So, onward and upward!! There are things about my life that are going to change so that I can be happy again!

 Have a great day everyone!

A lazy Labor Day morning

Hey there everyone!

 I am having a lazy morning. Slept in, had breakfast and now I am just toolin around watching Twilight (yes, I am a twinerd…read all the books several times) and getting some chores done. I need to get some laundry goin and one more load of dishes.

I am still planning on working out tho! I am gonna give it a little while since I just ate breakfast, but then I am gonna get on the Wii. Oh, the Wii, how I have missed you! LOL

I feel good today. I think it is a combination of all the water I have been drinking and the fact that I haven’t eaten out since Friday. There is just something about putting all that nasty stuff in my body that just puts me in a fog and I feel horrible. The worst part tho? If I go for a while eating all of that stuff, I forget that it is the reason I feel soo bad… It is a dangerous thing!

No more of that tho! I have big plans! And to accomplish my goals I need to put healthy stuff in my body!

Have a great day guys!

A new Start

YAY, I am feeling very good today. After shedding all of the negative stuff this morning, I am really feeling good about my plans to get in to shape.

I am a planning person myself. I have set up a plan and I really feel like I can do it this time. I am really excited about this!

 Just had to get it on Paper.

Love ya guys!

A sad, sad, state of affairs

Hey there all,

 I am sad to say that I fell way WAY of the wagon. What I am noticing more and more is that when I fall off, it has more to do with my own belief that I can’t succeed. I really do have awful self esteem (as in none) and when I give up the fight I also give up everything else. Yes, it is sad but true- I wasn’t wearing make up, or doing by hair to go to work. I began believing that nasty voice in my head that was telling me, “trust me, you have no one to impress” or “you honestly think nice make up is going to make up for THAT”. I know, I know negative self talk is an ugly thing that we shouldn’t listen to- but you know that it is hard not to some times.

Well, the truth is, I am so so so SO sick of being that ugly fat chick. Grrr it makes me mad to even admit that I feel that way about myself. I don’t want to be a negative, but it is hard not to be when I know that I have allowed myself to get like this.

But I am gonna try and get back on the horse, as it were. I am gonna start slow this time and try to change small things first…then move my way up. So today I am gonna start taking care of my self superficially. I am going to start making sure I wash my face and brush my teeth twice a day. AND I am going to start drinking 64 oz of water a day.

I know it sounds dumb, but I know these things are a great way to make me start feeling better about myself. Then I can start building on from there.  I am also going to start blogging every day to keep myself on track.

Have a great day!

A new workout- Hoo HOO

Hey there people!!

Doin pretty good here! Just enjoying a lazy Sunday at home. I have found a great new way to work my Wii workout, and I am totally happy!! 30 minutes of Free Step (I get to watch TV so the time flies) then 8 minutes of boxing, then 8 minutes of hoola hooping (my abs are going to look amazing!) That is 45 minutes of aerobics!!! Then I can work in some yoga and what not as I want…..IT is great! LOVE IT!

Anyways, that is my new pan and I am so excited to be doing it EVERYDAY for a couple of weeks and seeing some changes….my pants are all ready too loose around my hips (hooray!) so we shall see!

 More to come!

Not too shabby if I do say so myself

Hey there all!

Reporting to you on my laptop, from my dining room- with all of the lights out. Yep, my entire neighborhood lost power until at least midnight, JOY! Well, I guess that is a good reason for not working out on the Wii today….altho, all things considered, I probably should have just done it earlier….LOL those are the breaks I guess.

Anyways, I made it back from Cali a week ago today, and believe it or not, I only gained 4 pounds, all of which I have already shed this first week home. Hurray for me!! I am pretty proud of myself! I am slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things (partially do to the head cold I can’t seem to kick). And I am also finding my self pushing through limits I didn’t know I had. Yep-  I think it is a pretty good week!

Have a great weekend Guys!

Still feeling strong, but not quite happy

Hey there buddies,

Still reporting form Disneyland. I am having a great time, even tho I have been sick everyday that I have been here. I think I am getting a fair amount of exersize while I walk around after my training classes.

I have notice that I have cringed at every picture I have taken while here. I am so sick of being a fat person. I hate that word, and I am so sorry if I offended anyone. This is just my personal preference, and I am so not ok looking the way I look. For me, it is not ok.

The good news is, I still feel strong….and I can’t wait until I get back come to get back on my workout program. That being siad, I think that I am ready to step it up a bit. I am going to get on a REGULATED eating program, and I am going to step up my workouts. I am READY to make this happen. This WILL happen for me this year!

Much Love everyone!

Fitness center at the happiest place on earth!

Hey there people,

Reporting to you from Disneyland this week…and I must say I am VERY proud of myself. I made sure that I had all the access that I needed to the fitness center here!! My plan is to get there to at least get some cardio done every day.

I am here for a full week for some training for work… I know, who sets up work training at Disneyland?? Good for me, Pearson products does- so woo hoo! LOL Anyways, I know that my eating probably won’t be the best while I am out here, so I am going to try to stick with working out while I am here. At least that way I won’t have as much to make up for when I get back to my Wii on Friday.

Have a great day everyone!

The way it makes me feel

Hey there everyone!

 Hope you all caught the sight Michael Jackson reference. LOL- before I start, let me just ask….Has anyone else rediscovered the world of Michael Jackson lately? I know I have! I haven’t been a huge but we bought a CD and listen to it when we went out last night- you know, to pay tribute….LOL I am loving it!

So, back to what I was saying- I must be doin somthing right, with the excersize. I know that I am not seeing changes…..but I FEEL them already. I was waking around the rodeo yesterday and I could feel that my core was tighter. It was like I had to look down to remember what I actually looked like. hmmm….maybe I should stopp looking….hehehe…

 What wonderful incentive!!! I think I shall keep up the good work!! LOL You all keep it up too!!!
