Weigh-In Day!

So I lost 3 pounds. Not the number that I was hoping for, but it is what I got. There are lots of things that I could have done to improved that number. I could have worked out like I was supposed to and I could have made better food choices. But all I have to say is that it is a loss and I am going to keep going. Guess this is going to take longer than I thought. I have really got to step up and get on the ball. I really want to be in shape before we graduate next year. Oh well, gotta clean the house and figure out what I am going to cook for dinner.

Another Workout Down

So I went to the pool today and my Grandmother's and swam for about and hour, hour and a half, and really enjoyed it. I like to swim I just haven't done that much of it because I have been so lazy. Yes, I called myself lazy and I am working really hard on getting out of that. I am really ready to start working, I know that will be a big self-esteem boost right there in itself. But anyway after that I came home to cook dinner. A Garlic and herb sirloin pork roast, ranch roasted red potatoes, and corn. It was pretty descent, and at most healthy. I am really proud of myself for cooking and it being healthy food. I mean hey, it's not like I have anything else to do this summer. Although keeping up with Adalyn is enough in itself.

I usually wait and hour, to an hour and a half to do my workout, and I reset the BL game to 3 times a week so I can do other things as well, and it started me all over. It used my workout for the fitness test that they give you, but I didn't need because I alreay know where I am. But anyway, I chose to do a free play workout for 30 minutes and it turns out to be Bob's circuit training. I have been excercising with Jullian, and needless to say he kind of kicked my butt with some on the floor excercises!!

Just want to add that I am so ready for my weigh in on Monday!! I hope that I have dropped major pounds. I have been really good at watching what I eat and with working out and I have to say that my whole entire body is sore. I need a day off!! Tomorrow I will more than likely walk on the tredmill for about 30 mins and get some floor excercises in, abs, stretching. And some weights for my arms. Oh well, time to get in the shower and get to bed. Just wanted to ask where all the support from my people is?? You think they would be on here pushing me on!! *HINT HINT**

Ugh, working out again?

So today has been an okay day, ate more than my points which was not good, so I guess I should work my butt off tonight before bed. I think that tonight I am going to do Richard Simmons Sweating to the Oldies part one, (I love those workouts!!) and then I will hop on the tredmil for about a 1/2 mile and do some abs on the floor and stretching. I know what I want and that is to lose weight and the only way that I am going to get to that is if I do somethings that I don't want to do. I am going to change my BL workout to 3 times a week so that I will have a chance to get some other things in, so I don't get bored with my routines.

I wish that I wasn't stuck in the house ALL day with my 18 month old daughter. And the past couple of days the heat has been so overwhelming that you just can't stand it out. If it wasn't for the humidity it wouln't be that bad. I would love to get out to the park and walk/run and just do things outside. Go run up the stairs at the local high school stadium (or at least walk) but you can't stand it out there. I really can't wait until the fall. I will be outside when I am not doing school work. I can get at least an hour in somehow someway.

Well, it's about that time, and I don't want to workout, but oh well, that's the only way that the weight is going to come off.

No Weigh In Today

Not going to do a weigh in today because I have some water weight on me, so I am hoping that next Monday I will have a really big number. I am really excited that I have been doing so well. Still working on the eating at night, can't seem to quit that just yet. Going to get into bed sooner then I don't have to worry about eating.

I did my biggest loser workout last night and it really had me sweating!! I have it on light, and just 20 mintues, but it is an intense workout. After that I do about 20 minutes of abs, stretching, arm weights and so on. So total it's about 40 minutes total. The other night I also walked on the tredmill for 15 minutes and I really did sweat up a storm. I actually love doing the biggest loser, it is easy to follow and it is a different workout every night, which is interesting. I also am a competative person so I try to be my score from the night before. If I can get the Kinect to work just like I want it my score would be higher.

It is almost a month now before school starts back so I am trying to drop as much as possible and get my body into some sort of shape before those clinicals start. I am ready to start school and get it over with, I wish it was already over and I was working for MONEY!! I know that when I start back it is going to be so much harder to get everything done that I need to because of all the school work, and studying, but if I get some weight off and get me some energy back up I am sure that I will be able to get everything in.

Another thing that I have stopped doing, counting the days that I am on a diet. It doesn't matter how many days that I have been on a diet, because this is a change for the rest of my life so it's crazy to count the days of my life. It really is helping me because I am not thinking, oh I have only been doing it for 2 weeks, or 3 weeks. For some reason that always seemed to drive me up the wall. The time would pass so slowly and all I could focus on was the time that I had ahead of me. This is the rest of my life, and I am working on having all the time I can.

Pre-Registered for the Biggest Loser

So I filled out the pre-registration for the biggest loser today.  They finally got the web-site up and running.   They are coming to Charlotte and I haven't decided if I want to go to the open call so they can see me in person, or if I just want to send in the video and application.  I would really love to go so that I could meet all kinds of people that are just like me.  I really want to get on the show, but I also want to finish my nursing so I can make a good living.  The scheldule will be from September 2011-March 2012. which that is the month by birthday is in, and wouldn't that be a great present to win.  If I did make it, I could pick up with my nursing again in the fall of 2012.  I would definetly not quit because this is really what I want to do with my life, besides lose weight and be healthy.  Decisions, decisions.....  But oh well, it is late enough and I am about to get off here and get some workout done, if I can pull my husband away from the tv long enough, he is in the middle of smackdown, but it's recorded.  Want to walk a little tonight, and continue with my biggest loser kinect workout.  When I woke up this morning my abs were sore, so I know that I am working something.  Oh, and it does make me sweat!!

Finally, I have a little excitment!!

Just wanted to check in.  I did my Biggest Loser routine again today and I also did about 30 minutes in the pool swimming laps.  I feel really good about all the food choices that I made today and the excercise that I did as well.  I have a new goal that I want to announce and I want to lose a certain amount of weight by October 23, 2011.  I am going to a concert in Norfolk Va, with my sister and I want to at least be in good enough shape that I don 't feel like I am going to die.  But anyway my goal is to try and lose 20 pounds a month.  That would be 5 pounds a week.  And I know that sounds like a lot but I have done it before and as long as I am excercising, eating properly, and staying hydrated all will be good.  So the date is a little over 3 months away so I PRAY to my almighty Lord that he help me through this and give me the strength to pull through even when I want to give up.  And I don't want to give up, sometimes it just happens.  The weight that I am now, 362, and the time that I have, and the weight that I want to lose should leave me under 300, which would be a huge accomplishment for me!  I am finally excited about something and I really want to keep this up.  Oh and I am keeping track of all the food that I eat in a paper journal.  Well my bed is calling my name and I hope that everyone is doing well.  Sleep tight, for those of you whom  it's time for bed, and those of you just waking, Good morning and have a wonderful. blessed day.

Someone Please Tell Me How Do You STOP??

I just don't understand it.  I have eveything planned out in my mind and I know what I should do and the pros and cons of what it does to me.  I just can't seem to stop overeating.  Even if it is "good" healthy food that I have bought, I overeat it.  I can't just have a few strawberries I have to eat the whole carton.  Someone please tell me what you did to stop this.  Why can't I stop????  Even if I work out and know how hard it was when I did it, I still want to eat.  Please help.

Prettty Good Workout

So I finally got to do a workout on my biggest loser Kinect, and I LOVED it.  It was a little hard to keep myself where the kinect wanted me to be so I didn't get the highest score that I could've gotten, but I did the workout.  I have started on the lightest one that there is, and I am doing it for 20 mins a day, 6 days a week.  I am also going to get some walking in and arm wieghts, abdominal excercise, and lots of stretching.  As far as my food choices go, they were great today.  Got in some veggies, fruit, protein, dairy, good fat, and some water.  Still need to up my water intake, I know that will help flush some sodium out of my body and keep me from retaining water.  I will not be weighing in on this Monday, because.....well just because.  But I will be weighing in the following Monday so I am looking forward to a great number.  All that I have to do is keep up with my excercise, watch my food, and keep on keeping on.  Well, bed time, later.

Still Here

So it's been awhile since the last time that I posted and I have not accomplished all the goals that I have set out for, but I have to say that I am still losing weight.  I have lost 11 pounds now, which feels great.  Knowing that I didn't gain and that I lost is what is important to me.  Finally got my Biggest loser game and got my stats in there last night, and tonight I am going to start with  my first custmoized work-out.  I am still doing weight watchers and going to monitor what I eat, and I plan on making sure that I drop weight now.  I know that I won't lose 50 before I start school back on August 15, but maybe I can get down to 30 and then before we start clinical 50lbs.  I want to be comfortable in my uniform and I don't want to feel like death, since I haven't worked in a while and we will be doing 12hrs and then 6hrs back to back.  Now you may say that is not alot but for a student who has their instructors watching them and making sure that every move we make is right is crucial!  We don't sit down like the "real" nurses do.  We are constantly on our toes and since I haven't done that in a while and I have been so sedintary, I have to work on it.  Well, I wanted to check in to let those of you who care, and myself, that I am still in this.


Oh and I LOVE this comic!!!
