Hi Ladies- I hate not being able to check in as much- I feel so out of the loop here! I'll try to catch up some today- hope you're all doing well. As an act of desperation, I decided to try to shake up my system this past week to bust through this…

Shock of all shocks, I am actually down .2 lbs this week. I didn't mean any of my goals: didn't work out once, maybe met my water goal 1 day, and didn't track at all. My jaw is hitting the floor how I managed to still lose. I still want 8 lbs off to…

I encourage you to stick with it now. It will be worth it. Having lived my 20's and 1/2 of my 30's obese, I realize that I didn't really start living until I was 35. Don't do that to yourself. There's so much life to live out there! Don't miss out o…

Flexibility

When I was in my early 30s I wasn't in great shape or the thinnest I've ever been, but I was exercising and eating right.

And
when I sat down on the floor with my legs extended in front of me I could grab my feet and almost touch my nose to my knees. I was moderately flexible at that time.

Not anymore. Ten years and a lot of sticks of butter later...not so flexible.

Earlier this year I could barely touch my toes at all!

Aaaaaiiiieeeeeee!! There was this ridicu… Continue

It's Friday.....

and a long weekend. We will be hunkering down and watching a Netflix movie while Earl moves through. Not as bad as first projected and we are a bit more inland rather than coast. Take care to any east coast friends on BtL!
So I ventured to a local Walmart to purchase digital scales and Pilates DVD (thanks Kelly!) NO LUCK. So as I walk aimlessly down aisles and look at everything I could buy, candy, chips, clothes, I stuck to my plan and my list, well kind of. On list, hair dye and small cont

Birthday Motivation

In about 50 days, it will be my 19th birthday! I know it's not a big one, but I love to celebrate birthdays and life in general. I also love Halloween, which happens to be about a week after my birthday, so it is the perfect motivation for me to stick with counting points, exercising and being conscious of what goes in my mouth.


50 days... that gives me about 7 weeks. At 1-2 pounds per week, I can potentially lose 10-14 pounds! That's a great mini goal for me (my total weigh

Hello Lady.

So even after I told you all that my mom was going to come over so I could work out yesterday morning...I got distracted doing other things and did not have time to do it before I went to work for the day. I was outside for 4 hours in the afternoon, but things weren't very busy so I did a lot more sitting and talking than anything else. Since I'm training right now, I am shadowing other people, and I am not really looking forward to sitting by myself for a whole shift. Oh well.

I did,… Continue

I'm Not Your Success Story

The first time I walked into the 24-Hour Fitness in Downtown Seattle I was all of a dither looking around and thinking about my sweaty future there. I looked at the treadmills and imagined myself wheezing my way to running a mile… and then five. I saw the weight machines and had visions of hrumphing under larger and larger resistance. I walked past the empty studio and had a flashback to days of contortionist like flexibility.



Read the rest here:

Fantasy

OK, so here's my fantasy...



(And, no, it doesn't involve Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt or any other dreamy movie star covered in whipped cream and chocolate.)



So my fantasy is to lose all of the weight, to get really fit and to...

...become a certified personal trainer.



Shut the front door!



Me - the lifelong compulsive eater who's been occasionally thin, but more often than not quite heavy and every possible weight in between - become a personal trainer? T… Continue

A compromise

I complained to the gym about the PT. She said she would talk to the trainer.


I followed someone's advice ( I think Tanie) and made a compromise to bridge myself from W5D1 to W5D2. I did three 6 minute runs with 3 and a half minute walks. My goal is to run a 5K by my birthday in May so I have time to take it at my pace. Not that I have another choice. I worked as hard as I could today and it was difficult to run for 6 minutes at a time.


I let myself eat from wendys after my work

Thurs Calorie Count 1654

Keeping it under 1700. I was really hungry. Sometimes you need to listen to your body. But another snack free night got done! Due to rain I did a Power 90 Sweat Video. Killer, but I feel so much better. More tomorrow. Thank goodness it will be Friday.

Did you know that you can actually injure yourself by being sedentary?

Yes, it's true! So I really haven't done much exercising anything other than some long walks this summer but found out end of June that I did some damage to my left shoulder. I discovered when I attempted to lift a weight at the gym - now this is BEFORE I lifted I noticed my shoulder was really sore. So of course, I didn't proceed with the weight lifiting and until this week I've only been using Advil and Aleve to help with the pain. It's the kind of pain that really only hurts when I raise my a… Continue
