Work up this morning to find my fiber cereal is all gone. Someone ate the rest of it which doesn’t really make me too happy. There wasn’t much else in my house for breakfast besides a breakfast drink mix. It was filling but I would have much rather had my freaking cereal. -.-
Anyways, I’m changing up my exercise routine today. I’m going to go ahead and eat lunch then maybe go for a quick walk around the block then eat dinner around 5 or so then exercise for about an hour at home. I really wish I had a gym membership somewhere close to my house but I’ll work with what I have I suppose.
I’m also trying not to eat past 6 in the evening and trying to get to bed around 10 pm and no later. Having a little bit of struggling with going to bed earlier because of insomnia but I’m hoping pumping up my exercise time will help tired me out a bit and allow me to start going to bed earlier.
I feel really good today, like reaaaally good, best I’ve felt in a while and even though I’m not seeing much change, there is a little, I can feel it.
Here’s to feeling motivated today!
Yeah now I’m sitting here cooling down from Wii Fit. I swear, I push ridiculously hard at that thing!
Highlights include 60 jackknives and holding a plank for 114 seconds. Not bad for a fat girl!
Completely unrelated, but I have a hole in my sneakers. No, not my converse or TOMS, my Asics. Guess it really is time for a new pair, I was going to wait until I reached 230 to get them but it looks like I’ll have to get some next week regardless.
When you do it for them, you lose. You have to do this for y o u.
When my mom used to tell me to stop eating so much, I used to blame her. Looking back, I was so wrong. It was all me. I ate too much and I didn’t exercise enough. But when she would tell me to put down all of that junk food and the extra helpings, I got angry and I just wanted to eat more and more.
But, on that February Tuesday after I went out to dinner with my friend and ate a slice of pizza with ham, chicken, mozzarella cheese and vodka sauce, that’s when I knew it had to end. That’s the day I started my journey and I never looked back. Yes, of course I had my binges and my days when I quit exercising, but that was my lowest point. It was also my highest weight. I’m down at least 12 pounds since then, and while it might not seem like a lot, it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing.
So do it for you.
More reason to starve :)
No lie, that 149 lbs weigh in discouraged me a bit :( Lol! I’m pretty sure I sound like a big sap but I really wasn’t expecting to weigh that much. I definitely have to get a second weigh in. Hopefully the next one will show me weighing less ( a lot less) and I can find my motivation.
I’d love to go for a run [okay, okay, a jog broken up with short periods of walking because I’m still not a runner], but earlier this week I stepped on a piece of metal the size of a nail and ran it completely through my big toe. Yeah. Fun. I’m trying to avoid anything high impact for a little while to give it time to heal.
For that reason, I’m thinking of putting my 8 pound dumbbells to good use. I’ll be sure to post whatever exercise I end up doing.
I’d love to know your favorite way to work your arms. Drop some ideas in my ask box? : ]
I love looking at other healthy blogs and I want to share my own tips. I’ve lost 32 pounds in the past year the healthy way and I would like to have something to keep track of this progress aside from a number on a scale.
I don’t know.
So delicious! It’s filled with veggies and couscous is super easy to make (it actually cooks itself, just boil water, add couscous, take off heat and cover for 10 minutes, that’s it!).
You don’t have to bake this but I like it with the little bit of crisp on the outside!

I didn’t drink enough water yesterday which is why I didn’t lose anything. I drank a bit less than normal and that combined with the incredible heat/ massive sweating in my workout means I got dehydrated. I’m rehydrating today and looking forward to being back where I should be tomorrow! :)
The good side is I informally took my measurements and am going to be down at least another inch from my hips and half inch from my waist again! I love that what I’m losing is fat loss because it’s really noticeable. I’m wearing a tank today that I’ve been too embarrassed to wear since I got it and it’s actually loose on me now! :D
Today, I had a free 15 minute personal training session. I was sweating like hell and out of breath by the end of it! I can’t wait to start doing it every week. She was great.
After that, I came in and got a nice glass of ice water. I am trying to cut out soda for now. I am a diet soda ADDICT! I don’t drink coffee or tea so I drink diet soda for my energy. But I drink anywhere from 2-5 cokes a day! It’s way too much.
So right now there is no soda. I am going to try to do no soda until the 16th.
So, I made Caroline a mayo, cheese, and tomato sandwich on wheat. Phil had left overs from when we had mexican the other day. And I made myself a reduced fat peanut butter and banana sandwich on wheat bread with my water. I feel good right now. Exhausted… but good
