Day Two of Challenge

Yesterday was a great day. I drank 8 glasses of water, I stayed within my calories and I had a great workout. Yesterday was suppose to be my first training session with my trainer but there was some mix up with the scheduling and when I got there my original trainer was not there. Since it wasnt my fault they gave me a free training session yesterday and rescheduled my regular session for Saturday. Lucky me.

As for the training session... it kicked my but. We focused on legs and I was BURNING by the time I was done. This morning I feel ok but Im sure as the day goes on the pain will gradually come. So, All in all it was a great day!! How did you do??

Today my goal is to drink at least 8 glasses of water again, obviously stay within my calories and have another killer workout... this time cardio.

September Challenge

I just joined the "Lose 10 pounds in September" challenge on sparkpeople.com. I am so excited to get this started. I weighed in this morning at exactly 170.... grrr! But its exactly what I thought. By this time in 30 days I WILL be at 160. My goal is to be at least 150 by Christmas. I think I can do it if I just stick to what I know.

I know how to eat healthy... implementing it is hard! But I WILL do it!

I know that I need to exercise more often... and I WILL do it!!

As far as an exercise program goes... I dont quite know what I am doing BUT I hired a trainer so I should have NO excuse.

Lets get going on weighing less and living more!

Im back.... Again

Yeah, yeah... Im back, AGAIN! It seems that it is my cycle to blog and disappear, blog and disappear. That cycle is like my weight loss journey as well... diet and stop, diet and stop! So yes, Im back again and that means that I am also back to watching what I eat and exercising. I havent had any huge eye opening moments to tell you all about or discovered any tricks or secrets, Im just ready to start eating more healthy and exercising again. Seems like I use that word alot... AGAIN!! I need to stop with that word and I also need to stop STOPPING!! I need to just continue whether I get frustrated or not, whether I am seeing results or not. Stop STOPPING!! So, thats my ramble for today but hey, at least I posted something. I WILL be back soon with pictures and actual weight updates ***Cringe***

**One of life's mysteries is how a two-pound box of candy can make a woman gain five pounds.**

Got up at 6:30 this morning for the SECOND day in a row!! Ran on the treadmill well... ran/walked on the treadmill but Im so proud of myself for actually waking up. I also spent yesterday making Chicken Chili, Lowfat Chicken salad and baking squash so I have a stocked fridge full of good food. I think Im finally back on track!

wow...

Wow, June was the last time I blogged and since its been that long since I blogged it should come as no surprise that I have GAINED weight. I just love food a little too much I think. Last night I was at Target. I decided to try on a sweater and while I was in that dressing room I started looking in the three-way-mirror (worst thing EVER invented). I was so disappointed in what i saw... back rolls!! Since when do I have BACK ROLLS!!! Holy Crap! I need to do something about this situation. So I am back to blogging. Got up at 6:30 and headed to the gym this morning and I have vowed that I am not eating :) ok... well, I will have to eat but what I do eat needs to change! its going to be hard especially starting at Christmas time but I am figuring that I am just getting a jump start on my New Years Resolution.

AAAAHHHH!!!!

Have you ever had one of those days when all you do is yell. You yell at your kids, yell at your husband, yell at the dog, yell at the kids some more!!! That is how my day is going. Im not sure why Im so stressed but I am seriously on EDGE!!! The bad thing is that all this yelling and stressing makes me head straight for the cupboard for comfort. So far I have only eaten a Fiber One bar for comfort but I can tell that if I dont change my attitude soon my evening is going to be a terrible snacky one! So... here I am blogging about it instead. I think most of my stress comes from the fact that my daughter has been home from school sick today and yesterday and all her and my son have done is fight. Im tired of hearing the tv ALL DAY LONG and it seems like I can get NO peace and quiet!

Oh Help Me!!! Summer vacation starts next week and I have this to deal with Every Day!! I better stock up on Weight Watchers cookies!!

No posts = No motivation

I think its funny that I can tell how a week went by looking at my blog posts and my food journal entries. Notice- the first week I posted every day, the second week I posted like 3 times and last week I posted.... NONE!! This is how that relates to my weight loss

Week 1- Posted every day- lost 3.5 lbs
Week 2- Posted 3 times- lost 1.5 lbs
Week 3- Posted ZERO- Lost ZERO!!

I have still kept up with my exercising pretty well but without good eating to go along with it, I dont seem to benefit as far as weight loss goes.

So, Im back to blogging in hopes that I will have a good week! I guess we will all know depending on how many days this week that I post :)
