June 22, 2007

So.... I worked out again today for another 35 minutes, plus walked all over the gr mall =) and I"ll get exercise at birthday bash the next two days, whoo hooo. I won't be posting minutes the next 2 days, but I did get minutes in today. So p.s. I need to FORGET about JB..... FORGET him. At least for the summer =)

June 21st, 2007

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time. I haven't worked out in a long time either (well until this morning). Which is why I've gained 4 lbs back... That pisses me off... So back to working out and watching what I eat. I need to go through a kitchen cleaning session getting rid of everything I have that isn't good for me. But anyway, I did work out today for 35 minutes, so I'm here to update my ticker!

June 12, 2007

So I haven't posted in a few days. I did workout yesterday for about 35 minutes. So I have to add that to my ticker. I'm not sure really whats going on with me, but I'm down to 193 on my scale today. That is CRAZYNESS to me. I can't believe I've lost 12 lbs in a short amount of time. I'm going to change my ticker to 195. Just in case. I like keeping my ticker 2 lbs higher than what the scale says. Maybe I'll be down into the 180's before July, that would be f'in awesome!

June 9, 2007

So, I didn't blog Thursday night, but I did work out for like 20 minutes. So I have to add that in everywhere. OOPS. I'm losing weight again and I really don't know how. I've gone out to eat like 8 times this week. LOL. The scale says 197.5, and I'm actually going to change my ticker to say 197.5. Because that will give me motivation to keep it moving DOWN! =) Okay I'm going to update my fitness stuff fo Thursday (wow, I'm ghetto now...you can really tell I'm in love with a black man) then I'm gonna work out, then update my fitness for today!

June 7, 2007

So, I suck. I haven't worked out in a few days. I've been BUSY. Tuesday was graduation and grad bash all night. So no workout there, unless you count walking around all freakin night long watching the recent graduates play games. Then Wednesday I only got 3 hours of sleep, then went to BC to lie in the sun. Whoo hooo. No working out Wednesday either, too tired. BUT when I weighed myself this morning. 198.5 CRAZYNESS. I'm going to finally update my weight tracker. But I"m going to put it at 200 instead. JUSt because you never know!

June 4, 2007

So I think this is my first post for the month of June. I've been at 201.5 lbs for the last 3 days, but I'm still too iffy to change my weight. Lol. I'll wait till I get down another lb. to 200.5, then I'll change it to 201. So I worked out today for 45 minutes. It was actually probably longer than that but I'm keeping it at 20 minutes. So my work out goal for last month was 750 and I flew past it with almost 1000 minutes. Thats why my goal this month is going to be 850 minutes. Im kinda sorta starting to see results, now that I've been watching my calories as well. So thats always positive. Well tomorrow is going to be a busy day. We have graduation, and grad bash tomorrow night. But one plus is the fact that I'm going to have Wednesday off! =)

June 1st, 2007

Well, I kicked my excersice goal's ass last month. I wanted to work out 750 minutes and I got up itno the 9 hundreds! Now I just need to stay at that pace, and get my eating habits to catch up to it! Today is Day 1 of June, and I plan on working out 850 minutes this month! Wish me luck! I've been counting my calories again. I'm really nervous about today though because WMU is providing breakfast and lunch. I'm ate breakfast at home this morning so I should be good for breakfast, and I am bringing sunflower seeds with me to 'snack' on if I get hungry. Hopefully that will work for me. Then I'm going to attempt to just eat lunch at home, because I'm not sure if I'll be able to 'count' the calories in our lunch there. They said box lunch, which means sandwich, chips and cookies. Grrr. how about home, and pb and j. =) Peace Out Girlscout

May 30, 2007

Whew.... Got another work out in today. AND I've started counting my calories again, whew. Heres to hoping I stick to it for long enough to see results. I know as soon as I see results, I'll be good to go, and will stick with it longer! I'm drinking a TON of water too. I almost don't want to eat what I have planned for dinner and eat a pb and J sandwich instead. Maybe I'll do dinner, and then do a sandwich before bed. I think I have enough extra calories for that! =) (or at least for 1/2 a sandwich!)

May 29th, 2007

Wow, I haven't updated in a long time... Whoops. So I'm getting back on the workout train. I only went off of it for a few days, but it was a few days too many apparently. I read somewhere today where it takes 21 days to form a habit. Well, 1 day down 2o more to go! =)

May 23, 2007

Well, I worked out tonight, even though I am exhaused and didn't want to. I did yoga booty ballet, and some resistance work. Whew!

May 22, 2007

So I ate BAAAD food this afternoon, but I'm okay with that. I still got in a 40 minute walk, and I didn't eat much for lunch, and I didn't eat any snacks today, so I'll live, and do differently tomorrow.

May 21, 2007

So I haven't eaten the BEST food today, but I did eat somewhat decent, I'm NOT going eating fast food, and I did turbo jam for 30 minutes. I'm kinda nervous to go for a walk because some woman was attacked and raped on the trail that I usually walk on. True it was on the other end of the trail (which is 33 miles long) but it still makes me nervous. Not to mention my parents are going to freak if I go out there ever again. ANyway, I've hit my 750 minute goal... lets see how many more minutes I can get in the next 10 days! =)

May 20th, 2007

So, I've been working out (well, walking) and I've been logging my exercise on my ticker, I just haven't been posting on the blog. Whoops. So I"m a bit depressed today. I went and bought a new scale. Its one that shows hydration levels and body fat percentages, and my body fat percentage is waaay to large. So I guess that gives me more motivation to work out. Adam was telling me that he's reached his goal weight, which is less than what I weigh right now. I figure that I have 50 lbs to lose, and I haven't lost any in 5 months. WHAT THE HELL. I've been trying, but apparently not hard enough. Today I made dinner for the entire week. I'm proud of myself. I'm going to make sandwiches and stuff for at least Monday and Tuesday as well. As long as I have stuff pre-made I have NO excuse to eat fast food. Which is where I have a problem. We'll see how it goes.

Peace Out

May 14, 2007

I'm so proud of myself. I walked for 70 minutes today. A went with me, which was nice, but weird. Okay, tons of stuff to do! Adios

May 13, 2007

Well, I went for a walk tonight, but it was really short. My calves started to hurt more than before... it sucked. I would have LOVED to walk longer, but they hurt really bad. Oh well, I still walked 35 minutes. Tomorrow A is walking with me. We'll see how that goes.

May 12, 2007

So, I went for a 5 mile walk this morning. I think what I'm going to try to do is on the weekends go for 5 miles (which is like 90 minutes) then during the week just do 3 miles, which happens to be about a little under an hour. I'm proud of myself, and I love walking this trail. I know a lot of workouts I've tried and I've loved and stuck with them at first but then kinda stopped after awhile. Well I've walked now 4 days in a row, and I still love it, I love being out in the woods and walking and listening to my ipod. Its a good way to just get away for awhile! A. is getting a trail pass too, thats nice so she can walk with me sometimes, but I do like walking by myself, so I can just reflect and think, and chill to music. So yeah, I think if I keep up this walking then I"m gonna blow my goal out of the water! =)

May 11th, 2007

So yeah, I walked for an hour again today. Yipee... I'm tired

May 10th, 2007

Good evening. So I had a crappy ass night. I got some news that I'm NOT excited about, but I guess I'll live, and i'm only out $300. So, since I was angry, I'm very proud of myself for not going out and getting crap food, or going out and spending more money, instead I went for a 4 mile walk! =) Whoo hoo... I'm getting kinda better. I figure I have to do this FOR MYSELF. Especially after today, I've realized that I need to do what I need to do to make myself happy. I am the only person I can count on. So yeah... 70 more minutes of exercise!

May 9th 2007

So, I wasn't in a good mood at all today. The kids were awful during 4th block, and made me want to cry. NOT fun. So I came home and laid down for a little bit, then I went and got steak n shake for dinner....BAD BAD BAD. Then I decided to drive out and get my pass for the trail. I'm so excited that I did, because then I walked for an hour. 3.25 miles in an hour. According to my heart rate monitor I burned almost 750 calories. I know that seems high, but I trust my heart rate monitor! =) Anyway, I'm eating a snack of pineapple, then I'm gonna watch bones and get to bed! I'm gonna pack workout clothes so I can go workout right away when I get out of school tomorrow! =) Peace Out!

May 8, 2007

Well, I was good and worked out again today. I only lasted for 30 minutes, which wasn't good, but I'll take anything I can get. I'm tired, I'm gonna finish fillin out all of my 'work out' stuff, then I'm gonna collapse on the couch and read cosmo!

May 7th, 2007

Well, I'm posting AGAIN today. I just went out to the Kal-Haven trail for 30 minutes. I wanted to go for an hour, but I forgot my cell phone, and I didn't want to be out on the trail that long by myself without a phone. I really need to get something that will hold my phone and my keys, but I dont want no fanny pack... LOL. Plus now I really want to buy a pass, I just have to find out when people are there so I can buy a pass from them!

May 7, 2007

Wow, its been 5 days, and in that five days I had a melt down, and now I'm back on track. I had one of those "I'm fat, I'll always be fat, because no matter what I do and how I change, my weight doesn't change." I've realized that I can try better, and I can do better at saying no to bad food and drinks. Plus I have to get back to not eating out at school. I did good today. All I wanted to do was eat out (I was out and about during plan), BUT I went back and ate my sandwich. I did a new workout today. I did 2 miles on the gazelle, and after every 1/2 mile I did 50 crunches and 25 pushups. I think I'll be able to keep to that little cycle. Its exciting. It was 45 minutes, but it definately didn't feel like it. Less a little less more than 3 weeks before I go to Phoenix... CRAZY.

May 2, 2007

So BLAH for eating bad food again. I'm awful. At least I worked out again tonight... 30 minutes, and I plan on doing abs on th e ball throughout the rest of the evening. Tomorrow is going to be a LONG day, so we'll see how tomorrow goes. No work out for me tomorrow, thats not going to make me happy at all, but oh well. Time to update my fitness tracker. I'm not going to adjust my weight one right now, because I think my TOM is going to start real soon, so my weight is off right now. =)

May 1, 2007

Well, I sucked it up and went to PP to day. I didn't have an exam because I didn't want to wait 2 hours, but I did get what I needed. Which is always a good thing. I ate bad food today. I had Arbys. It was really bad, so I came home and I worked out for 40 minutes on the gazelle and I'm about ready to do abs. I just have to blow my ball back up. My goal is to do abs during all of the commercials for Gilmore Girls tonight. Well time to update my fitness tracker then I'm gonna blow up my ball!

Later Gator

April 30, 2007

Well, I didn't reach my goal last month, but I was closer than I was in months past. I had a 10 day problem in which I was not working out and I was not eating right. I need to do this for me. Forget J and my trip to Phoenix (even though that will always be a small motivator). Forget going to France this summer. I need to this FOR ME. By the end of the summer I want to be able to go outside in shorts and a sports bra and not feel embarassed. THAT is my goal. How does that sound? YEsterday I was all up for eating ealthy and what did I do? I ate almost an entire bag of bbq chips. So last night, I threw them away. The bag wasn't gone, but I was fed up, and threw them out. THat is always positive.

Here is my total workout for the month of April:

Okay, for some reason the counter wouldn't work right, so I worked out 550 minutes out of 700.

And here is my weight as of this morning (YIKES...yeah, thats right, I've gained a lb):


Time to set up a new tracker for May, and I've upped the numbers..... 750 minutes is my goal

April 29, 2007

Okay, it has now been a full 10 days since I've worked out, and I'm fixing that right now. I am going to gazelle for awhile today. Basically until I get tired, I'm going to try and do a total of 3 miles on it today. We'll see how that goes. Plus I want to do at least the ab portion of one of the Yoga Booty Ballets. Then A and I are going to go for a walk later on tonight. I signed up for this new thing online where you type in how many steps you walk a day and it tracks your progress walking across America. Pretty interesting huh? Basically I realized that I have 1 month before I go to Phoenix, and even though I know that it is impossible to be where I want to be weight wise, I can still become a bit more fit before I get down there. Phoenix is in a month, and France is in 2... Wowzers... July is sneaking up on me. I really need to get into work out/ eat better mode. I talked to J yesterday and he said he went to the gym for 3 hours yesterday, then he worked out more when he got home. That is definately not like me....I will never be a 'gym rat' but I need to at least be more healthy. THAT is something that I can do, and will do. My goal right now is to get down to 195. Once I do that I think I'm going to buy a new pair of shoes. My goal is to do that in the next 2 weeks, which means I'm going to have to really watch what I eat, and move A LOT more... no more laziness.

April 25, 2007

So I'm not doing too hot lately. This is my 1st post since April 19th, AND I haven't worked out since April 19th. I've been tired, exhausted, and haven't had the drive or motivation to work out. The problem with this is is that I've gained almost 5 lbs back. I really need to jump back onto the workout/eat right train. Well, time for dinner... hopefullyI'll choose something somewhat healthy.

April 19, 2007

Whoo hoo. So I just got home from school a little bit ago and weighed myself, and I was down to 199.5. I know that is skewed because it is the afternoon, but hopefully tomorrow morning's weigh in will be pretty darn close to that! I just got done doing YBB for 40 minutes, and I'm mega psyched. I'm doing good, and I'm staying on top of things. I have splurged and have eaten fast food twice this week for lunch (Tuesday and Wednesday) BUT at least it hasn't been lunch and dinner every day like it was for awhile there. I'm making naked burritos for dinner tonight, so those will be yummy and tasty! Okay, time to update my workout info, then I have to pick A. up from campus. (By the way... as far as I'm concerned, J isn't gonna recognize me!!)

Adios

April 18, 2007

Well. I called in sick today. I don't do that often. Like this is only the 3rd time all year long that I've not gone to school. Its my 2nd sick day out of 10 (the other was a personal day). I feel guilty calling in, thats why I don't do it too often. But I woke up this morning with one my gigantic headaches and was throwing up. So I called in. Now I feel fine of course because I took medicine and went back to sleep for 4 more hours... I should work out today now that I have some extra time before class, but I'm really not in the mood to right now. Honestly I want to go to taco bell and get food (which is baaad for me) but I think I'm going to anyway. I might go get food, and then come back and work on homework for awhile, and then workout. (If I eat taco bell, then I HAVE to work out). That sounds fair, right? Oh yeah, and I'm down to 200.5 today! Whoo hoo... hopefully by the start of next week I'm back below 200 and STAY below 200! I just need to keep on myself.

Well peace out for now girlscout, and I'll post later on today to let you know about my workout adventure...lol

April 17, 2007

So as much as I didn't want to work out tonight. I did, and I'm proud of myself. I did YBB Hip Hop Abs again. I've worked out more this month than I have months in the past, so I'm proud of myself. And I'm eating a TON better. I cant really tell the difference in my weight yet, but I'm looking better, which is what is most important. I still want to thin down a bit more before I go out west in less than 2 months, so I'm going to have to keep working even harder. So I know I say that I'm not the jealous type, but yeah, I definately think I am. So I was looking at J's myspace and he had a wall post from one of the girls from Kentucky that we met while in Europe. He wrote a post on her wall saying that he wanted to stay in touch with her, and that he would send her a message with his cell phone number so that she could give him a call. I don't know why that bothers me, but it does. Its like I want to be like 'he's mine bitch, not yours'. But I don't even have the right to do that, because he's NOT mine. He has a girlfriend, or a baby's mama in the least. So yeah, I'm slightly annoyed with myself. I need to stop thinking too into this trip, otherwise I'm gonna get my heart broken, and I don't think I'll be able to make it through him breaking my heart.

I just hope that I'm not making a big mistake going out west to see him. I very well could be, but I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope its a good thing, not a bad one.

Peace Out girlscout!

April 17th 2007

Happy Birthday to my wonderful older bro! I'm sad that I don't see him much anymore. So I woke up this morning at 201, which is awesome...which means I'm actually keeping off the little that I have lost so far. And I plan on working out when I get home this afternoon. I really need to get back into the habit of getting up and working out in the morning. Now I really have something to work toward since I'm flying out to see a friend in June. I know its less than 2 months, but I can still lose at least 10 lbs by then =) I just have to work hard, and try, and not eat out! =)

Adios

April 16, 2007

So, wow have things changed in the past few days. So I didn't work out yesterday, but that was a break day anyway. I've decided that I AM going to go to Arizona to visit J. I'm going sometime in June. Crazy huh? Especially since I haven't seen him in 8 years. Its gonna be weird, and nerve-racking. =) I'm soo nervous right now, but hopefully its a good nervous. I think I'm most nervous about telling my parents, but they'll understand...hopefully. I think I'm going to wait and tell them later, like way later......lol....... =) So anyway, I worked out today, and I ate pretty good. My weight is down again I think (I think its at 201.5 again, but I'm not sure, so I'll update my weight tomorrow based on my weight when I wake up. Peace Out Girlscout!

April 14, 2007

So, I feel like just lying around and doing nothing today, but I did do YBB and the 30 minutes Cardio Caberet. I don't feel like it was much of a workout at all, but it was at least me moving and it got me sweating a bit. I really need to get back into Turbo Jam and I think I'm going to do Turbo Jam tomorrow. Maybe some TJ and some YBB will be good! We'll see how it goes! Well A and I are going out to the bar tonight, so that will be mega fun, and I'm sure I'll burn calories dancing around. I'm gonna do my best to just drink beer so that its low calories!

April 13, 2007

So, I'm psuedo proud of myself today. I was bad and went out and had Arby's for lunch (not good). BUT I came home and I worked out for 40 minutes already (and its not even 5:00). I plan on just eating something light tonight for dinner. Maybe a salad or a lean cusiune. Something light. I'm losing weight little by little. Now I just need to keep off what I lose and continue to lose! But all and all it was a good weight loss week, even though I did eat out more than I had planned.

April 13, 2007

So, I haven't worked out in the last few days, but I've still managed to lose some. Which is AMAZING....I think its been because I've been running around like a crazy person. I plan on working out today when I get home and both days this weekened really hard to make up for it. Starting Sunday we start FitDay 2007 with work, so there is another reason for me to be accountable for my minutes of excercise. I did manage to dance around my apartment a bit last night, and I know that used some energy. Too bad things didn't wrok out with B, because if they would have then I would've gotten even more of a workout. Hmmm maybe next time. =) More later!

April 10, 2007

Well I did it! I woke up at 5 am this morning and I worked out for 30 minutes on my Gazelle! This means that when I get home this afternoon I'll have the time to get in another workout. (Probably YBB)!!! This makes me beyond happy. I'm going to keep it up for the rest of the week and see how different I feel! =) Later gators

April 9th 2007

So much for posting yesterday, but I was at my parents so I'm using that as my excuse. Well yesterday and Saturday I didn't do too good with my eating. I ate a lot of not good for me food, but at least on Saturday I got in a work out too. I also was bad and ate at Taco Bell this afternoon for lunch. I had taken lunch to school, but I got talked in to going out to eat. I think I'm still going to be able to stay within my calories for today though, which is awesome! Also I worked out today. I had planned on waking up very early this morning to work out, but I didn't get to sleep as early as I had wished last night, so I had to work out after school. Needless to say, I only got 30 minutes in, instead of the hour that I was hoping. Oh well, maybe tomorrow!

Time to make dinner

April 7th, 2007

Well, Im proud of myself yet AGAIN. I woke up early today, well kind of. I set my alarm for 7:00, and actually got out of bed at 7:30. (Not bad for not falling asleep until after 1 am!). I know I need my sleep, and its good for me, but I wanted to wake up earlyand work out before I head over to my parents house for easter. The reason being is that I know when I'm over there I'll eat a bunch of not healthy food, and I won't work out too much, so I wanted to at least get a work out in today. Well off to get ready and meet the fam for breakfast! Watch out....sooon those pounds are gonna start dropping off!

April 6th, 2007

Yeah yeah, I know I already posted once today, but I had to post again because i'm proud of myself. I graded all of my papers today that I needed to grade, AND I did YBB for 40 minutes! = ) Awesome huh? I think Amanda is going to want to workout again later, but if we do then i'm going to just walk on an incline for 20 minutes and not run. I feel like I've already worked out a crazy amount today! But its all good!!!!!

April 6, 2007

Well, even though I completely screwed up yesterday with eating out and not working out, I think I'm going to be back on track today. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to have for lunch, but I'm going to have my chicken fetichini alfreado for dinner tonight, and I've already worked out for 30 minutes on the Gazelle. Plus when boy below me leaves I want to give one of the Turbo Jam cardio parties another try. OR do the Yoga Booty Ballet that I did the other day, the one with the weight lifting in it. Actually, I think thats what I'll do. It has abs, weights, cardio and yoga all in one. The only thing that is hard to do is the yoga part. Okey dokey, well I'm gonna go eat some carrots and dip for my snack =)

April 5, 2007

No difference in my weight yet which is SLIGHTLY annoying. But I guess I haven't been eating the best either, so it kinda makes sense. Today though I am definately not eating out... Kudos for me =) So that should help a bit. I'm gonna work out a bit later, but right now I'm going to work on my lesson plans so that I'll have time to relax and cross stitch and stuff later. =)

April 4, 2007

Well well well. I screwed up again today and ate fast food. I think that is my biggest problem. If I can so no to drive thrus then I should be good! =) I worked out for 30 minutes today. I did the Yoga Booty Ballet Hip Hop Abs. A will probably want to run later on tonight, but I don't think my legs will be able to handle it. They HURT really bad when I woke up, so I stretched a bit, and worked out anyway. I know I probably shouldn't have, you know the whole 'they need a day to re-coup' thing, but oh well. So I was reminded today about one of the reasons that I want to look good. I want to look good in France. Oddly enough, but I almost forgot about M over break. Which is crazy cause I spent 3 hours with him out and about with a few students on the first night of break. But I remember now how much fun we had so now I want to look my absolute best for France. Plus I need to get in shape for softball, which starts in like 2 weeks. So anyway, I'm going to try and workout a bit more tonight, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm gonna do somethin =)

April 3, 2007

So here's my before bed update. I think I did all in all pretty good today, well minus the Micky Ds. I had chicken and brocolli casserole and a huge salad for dinner, and my snacks were popcorn and carrot sticks, and I think I"m gonna eat some grapes. I worked out a lot today. I did end up doing the Yoga Booty Ballet, I'm still kinda iffy about it, but I'll keep giving it a try, tomorrow I might do that AND turbo Jam, and A will probably want to run tomorrow night. So yeah anyway, today I did 65 minutes of exercise. I did 45 of YBB and I did run/walk intervals on the treadmill. I'm pretty proud of myself. But now I have a HUGE headache, so I'm gonna go to bed!

April 3, 2007

Well, so much for my two posts yesterday. I did end up going to my parents yesterday which turned out to be disastrous. I had taco bell last night and McDonalds this morning. Big time uh oh..... BUT I did make another purchase. I'm not sure how well I'm going to like it but I purchased Yoga Booty Ballet from Target. I did the first basic one today and I sweat like crazy. I wasn't able to do alot of the Yoga section, but my goal is to be able to do that a little bit better. Plus I'm going to run later on with A. Well off to shower and then to clean my apartment up, its a MESS.

Monday April 2, 2007

Okay, so I didn't post yesterday, which means 2 posts today! =) I'm going to add my trackers into the blog today. The reason that I'm starting this today is that I bought a new planner. My new planner I am keeping track of my calories and my exercise and the calendar is Monday-Sunday.

I have already worked out for 20 minutes today. I went to A's and ran/walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes! I am planning on working out this afternoon too. We'll see. My dad just called and wants me to come home tonight, so that will put a hinder on my calorie counting and my working out, so who knows. Well....here's my weight and fitness tracker for April!

March 31st 2007

So, I decided to set up a new blog for my fitness tracking for the month of April. Hopefully this goes well, and I'll use it on a daily basis through April. So something needs to be done about my fitness levels and my eating habits. I've tried in the past to count calories, but that worked for about a week. (I NEED to get back into it) I've also tried to work out a lot. That lasted about 3 weeks.

So here I am again, its a new month, so a new chance to do everything how I should be. The first week should be the worst week. I am on Spring Break this week, so it means eating all of my meals at home. Now, you might think that eating at home would be a good thing, but see, I have A LOT of food at my house, and I don't have much willpower. I am going to make this work though. Tomorrow I will post a fitness tracker to see how I'm doing with my weight, as well as to set fitness goals.

Adios for tonight!
