Boot Camp

Starts tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! I need this additional boost. I have been getting really lazy with my exercise and my food too. I am so looking forward to this and I can't wait to see the changes in my body in 4 weeeks!!!!!!!!!

Whoot!

So today was my run and I finished it!!!! I don;t know my official time but I will post these pics so you can see them!! I feel great! I am really tired but yay me!! I have a whole year to train and stuff and next year, I am running the 10 k!!!!!

New Month, New start(ish)

K it is the beginning of a new month. I have one full clean month to get some more weight off of me since I have been dancing around the same 2 lbs since March. I am pretty frustrated and ready to buckle down and really do something!!!
I am deciding right now if I want to go running or do 40 min on my elliptical instead. It's kina crazy windy out again(winds from 33 km/h) so I am thinking that 40 min on my elliptical will be great!
I ate a salad from Subway for lunch yesterday and I didn't fight with my cravings or go nuts eating (appies don't count cause I planned for them lol). So now I know what I need to do. Carbs for brekkie, No carbs at lunch and little carbs at supper and I think I just figured out my problem!!!!!!!

I would still love to see the 160's by grad but seeing that I have about a month until that happens, I don't know if that is possible. I am changing it to 175 (which is what I wanted to be for TO lol) and I am still gunning for a good number by my birthday in August!!!

Whoot!

Since for some reason it's not letting me write anything, I wanted to share that this is the next run that I want to accomplish! I am hoping to give it a try on Wednesday when I go for my next run!!

:-D

I feel like a YO-YO

I wish I could shake this thing, I really do. I am like givin er for a while and then I do a brake stand and totally go crazy. I am not totally OP. I am OP for about 80-90% of my day and then I fall off of the track. I get right back on the next day to have the same thing happen again and again. Sigh, I will keep on plugging away.
I am going to the gym today with my BFF Amanda and I am going to sweat, sweat, sweat since I ate some things yesterday that weren't on my PLan. THe only saving face and I am not too sure if that will help me or not is that I slept through lunch and woke up at 4 so I had those extra calories and points that I didn't use at lunch and I ran yesterday morning too so I dunno.
I WI on Tuesday and I was hoping to be down something. I was hoping for 2 lbs but I haven't stepped on my scale and have no idea what the scale says, I just feel like I haven't lost anything and I will keep on going.
I have set a mini goal for my self by my graduation on June 12th, I want to be down at the very least to 169.8 which was 7.8 lbs on Tuesday. LOL Seeing the week that I have been having, I have a feeling that it may be a little more that I need to lose by then. I will not quit tho, I will keep on plugging.
I have given myself till Christmas to get to goal. That is a lot of time to get there I want to lose another 30-35 lbs and I feel that I can get there by Christmas. I am going to stop setting myself up for failure by setting unrealistic goals for my self.
This weekend I am going into Winnipeg to find myself a dress that I can wear to my graduation! I think that once I get the dress that I want, I will have my motivation to eat well and exercise as I don't want to look like a sausage in my dress lol!
One more thing before I go, I registered for the YMCA's Spring Run! It's a 5k run/walk and I am so excited! I am getting more into my running(jogging) and I feel really good when I do it so this is something that is keeping me moving!!!
I love running!!!!!

Until next time, I bid you adieu!!! :)

I feeeeeeeel Fantastic!!!!!!

I love Weight Watchers!!! Everyone is so supportive and I think that helps everyone!!!!!



Just wanted to report that I did my run this morning and (well actually it was a slow jog) the only walking I did was in my warm up. I kept my jog moving throughout the whole thing. My legs were hurting and I pushed through then my body was like oh your shoulder is hurting you better stop and I pushed through and then my ribs were like oy stop you are in pain and I pushed through that too. It is all worth it at the end because that means that I did it and I don;t have to worry about getting in the cardio later. Now I can take the dog and go for a walk later and now it's because I want to not that I have to do my cardio!!!!!! Plus getting out there for a jog at 7 am is awesome!! The sun is just getting up and everything is like calm. When I was done my run and stretching outside I felt a nice wind from above and it was like my mom was looking down on me saying how proud of me she was!!!!! :)

I am getting to be a runner!

I love it!!!!!

It is nice out so rather than get all sweaty in my basement, I go for a 30 min jog. It feels amazing and in no time I will be able to run the whole 3.2 k and that is when I will extend my run to a 5 K!

Much better today

Today is a much better day for me all around! I woke up at 615 and got ready to go for my run/walk at 7 am. I ate good all day with the exception of some candy lol I can't resist and with all of the walking and running I did today I totally have the points for it. Planning on a very quiet night here. Going to eat supper and do my assignments for work placement and that is all. I am going to schedule a date with LUSH and then hit the hay and see if I can't do this again tomorrow lol minus the candy of course.. :)

K so I did really well until supper time

I am done with that! No more excuses. I sound like a broken record but I mean it! I have some really great songs uploaded to my mp3 player and I am excited! I am going to attempt a run in the morning to get me moving for the day and then I am going to take Daisy and go for another walk and run tomorrow night with her. I think this not working for 4 weeks thing is going to be a really good thing. Although I am not making any money I am totally going to be using this to my advantage!

Today is a new day

Today is a new day. The sun is shining and I woke up so those are two good things for starters. I have a new outlook on a lot of stuff and although I still couldn't seem to push myself out of bed this morning because I love my bed, I plan on taking care of that tonight after work. I am going to take Daisy to the park to play for a while and then I am going to either come home and do some Turbo Jam or I am going to get the energy to attempt to go for a run. I am going to do this and I am going to start feeling better. I feel all icky like garbage today so today is the perfect time for a new start!!!

BAH

So yeah I was up today as I expected. This is so frustrating. I can't seem to keep myself motivated to do things. I say that I am going to do it and it all starts out well and then splat I fall flat on my face. I am deciding for the umpteenth time that I am going to do this and stick with it. I want to see 175 by the 22nd of this month and I have 2 weeks to do it and I also want to be at least 160 by the time I graduate in 10 weeks. I need to do this for myself. I want to do this for myself. I love how I feel when I work out and feel so healthy and sweaty from doing it. Why can't I push myself to want to do it more? Is it all in my mind? Am I setting myself up for failure. I thought about that the other day and I think that I am afraid to succeed because I don't know if I can make it stick in the future. I watch the Biggest Loser and even though I know that it is impossible to pull the kinds of numbers that they do every "week" I still am in awe and pissed off at myself because I am not trying hard enough to make it work. I am approaching my one year WW anniversary and I feel like I should be a lot further ahead than I am. I lack discipline and money so I can't afford my trainer any more. It was becoming extremely expensive and I don't know if I have what it takes in order for me to do this on my own. I don't have physical support here so I am the only one who I work out with. I realize that is an excuse but it just sucks. I am tired of feeling this way and being like this. I am just tired.

I am still here

I suck at blogging lol.. I am just trying to get through my days now. WI is tomorrow and I am not really too sure what to expect. I was good today and I did cardio yesterday and today and ate well both days and drank my water so it's any body's guess as to how it will go. I am eating a lot of apples lately since I bought a ginormous bag of them and don't want them to spoil lol!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG!!!!

50 lbs!!!! So this is what 50 lbs feels like. I tell you what it feels frickin amazing!!!!! Here is a pic. I have to go out now but I will be home later!!! wooo hooo!!!!

Tuesday Feb 19th 2008

So yeah I went to WI. I was down 1.4!!!! I am 1.8 lbs away from 50! To celebrate my loss I decided to get on my elliptical and was going to do 30 min and then was like no I will do 60 and then all of a sudden I wanted to see how long it would take me to get to 25 k. It took me 73 minutes which I am so freakin excited about!!!!!
I AM going to reach 50 lbs next week!! I AM. I am so pumped to get there and get fit and healthy!!!!

Sweating:)

I LOVE sweating!
It is invigorating and liberating. It is the smell (eww) or more so the feel of success. I was feeling crappy and down about this weight and the fact that it seems to want to hang onto my body because apparently my body seems to think that all is ending lol.
I just finished a 30 minute work out sweat session on the elliptical and I feel fantastic!!!!
My plan is to get on the elliptical tomorrow morning and Thursday morning before school so i have my alarm set for 6.. YIKES!! lol Let's hope that I can follow through with this.
My trainer wants me to do 5 cardio before I see her on Friday so I have 3 more to go and I have to do my routine once more!!! I am tracking my food and water and every bite lick and taste of anything. lol I want to make this work.


I want to see a lower number on the scale next week!!! Any lower number than the one that is there now.. lol

To be continued........

Is there really a need?

I am literally frustrated with myself and everything. It seems like I can't friggin win now. I want to see the 50 lb mark but I am so tired and it sucks. I am back on track (completely) as of yesterday. I tracked everything that I ate and today I am doing the same. I plan on going for a work out later and then I think I am going to clean my spare room. I want to have a treadmill so I need to make space to see if I can actually get one to fit into the room where I want it to go.
My body seems to be comfortable at this weight and I am trying to coax it to shed it but it seems to be content here. I however am NOT content here and want this weight GONE!!
Sigh, I hate winter. I seriously think that I am suffering from a case of the winter blahs and I hate it!!

BAH where is the sunshine and warm weather. Never mind the warm weather, just bring me the sunshine!!!!!!!!!!

K so I need to buckle down

I went for my weight and measurements today and I lost half an inch on my chest and an inch on my waist. Everything stayed the same except I am up an inch on my thighs since I have been lacking on the exercise. I promised my trainer that I would behave myself and exercise and now she wants to see everything that I am eating. So now I really have to behave myself lol!
My goal is to be 175 by the next WI and that is 9 lbs. I can do this. I can.. I just need discipline and I am going to get it one way or another. lol!!!

K so I am still trying to figure this thing out.

Let me explain the pictures.

The first picture top left is of me. I am the one on the left being smooched. There was alcohol involved.. lol. I was at my highest WW weight this go around. I started WW the week after that picture was taken. That picture was taken in April 2007.

The next one of me in the dress was in June of 2007 and I was about 15 lbs lighter.

The next picture of me in the purple top was September 2007 and I was down about 25 lbs

The next picture was in November 2007 and I was down about 40 lbs

The next picture (in white) was taken about 10 days ago and I was down about 45 lbs.

I want to take more pictures. But as you can see, the progress from the beginning till now is freaking phenomenal.

Look for more pictures with less of me. Coming really soon I hope!!

Trying to add new pictures
