Spam then workout? It's wrong!

Saturday, May 11, 2013

Saturday, great day for a long workout.
However I've been remembering the saying I read "Lose weight in the kitchen, get fit in the gym." Hmmm I'm fit as a fiddle! LOL

So today I hit the gym, I lifted weights, I biked, then I came home and snuggled played dolls, had 1 slice of spam then did my 30 day shred. ACK! It's wrong that I had a slice of spam before my workout but I couldn't resist.

Here's my thought for the day "If I workout this morning I will have much more control over myself today! :-)" Sticking to this.

A morning workout results in:
Better posture
better attitude
smarter choices
more control
more motivation for the day!

Who wouldn't want that?
If you don't want that stuff You don't want me in your life. I am on an up swing and I'm going to stay there!
Have a great day.... (no more spam!)

  

Just checkin in

Saturday, May 04, 2013

Hi!
Little update. I have hit the magic number of 41.
Yep 41 years old loving life.
Feeling good, having good days and fat days but dealing.

Now, I've finished my 12 week challenge and put myself on a new one. Yea kind of silly but I'm on a roll so why not right?

I have a goal list... Laminated in fact! :-) I have a meal plan I'm trying to follow at least 3 times a week and it's laminated also.

I'm living with my reality stick that I've been beaten with and I think I'm starting to like it! Who knew? Although this might just be a good week ha ha I mean I am headed to my birthday party later today where they are going to have all of my favorite foods & drinks. Heaven help me! :-)

I've been really really trying but not obsessing! I have been exercising and doing my video. Yea a little double dipping but its all good. I'm half way through my 30 day shred. :-) Keep you posted but I do love it even though it hurts every fiber of my body! ha ha ha

  

Weight Loss Fibs!

Monday, April 22, 2013

Let me start with this... I call BS on the saying "I don't eat enough calories."

I have (on my own come up with this) "If your not eating enough calories you'd be really really skinny eventually."

I have a friend here at work that is starting to watch her weight and she claims she can not get to her 1200 calories a day. THEN when she sychncs her pedometer to her calorie program she has even more calories she should have eaten because she's moved around so much. WTH???? I call B.S.

I realize if you eat to few of calories you will lose then go stag net on the weight loss front because your body starts holding all the fat cells. BUT EVENTUALLY it is going to change because your body is hungry. I really am sick of the people that can't eat enough in a day. LOL

NEXT... A pound is a freaking pound people! LOL I'm also tired of "I haven't lost weight working out because a pound of muscle weights more that a pound of fat." NO it doesn't!!!! A pound is a pound! How many times do I need to say this? A pound of feathers is equal to a pound of steak. The steak is just smaller. So don't tell me you weight more because muscle weights more. I am done with these delusional weight loss fibs. These are the main excuses all of us dieters give ourselves but this week I'm not falling for it. Nope, no-sir-eee I'm about done.

Oh... Another thing I have come to a head with... The food I eat while working in the kitchen really do have calories that count. ACK! Yea didn't want to think so but I'm pretty sure they do! So... obviously I have problems staying under my real 1700 calories. LOL

Sometimes this is better than therapy because you can get the real stuff out on paper, post, go back and reflect on it later!
Great venting session today!

OMG hahahahaha, thank you thank you thank you, you just summed up most of my friends (in the real word that is). I’m going to add one I heard a few days ago. My chubby no actually fat friend joined Wwatchers 360 a few weeks ago, she lasted just a few days, than she announced (with her outside voice) “that’s a really unhealthy diet, I stopped so I could finally have a baloney sandwich”. go figure lol Report Inappropriate Comment

Good Stuff happening.

Monday, April 22, 2013

Good Stuff happening....

Started some good stuff this weekend. I started a 30 day shred DVD of Jillian Micheals. LOVIN IT! It goes so dang fast. It's only 20 minutes long and wow I can do anything for 20 minutes. I am adding it in with my other workouts. I figure I'm getting this fat off, somehow!

My big challenge that I was in is ending in a big disappointment! HUGE disappointment but in a good way. I am now going to move forward on this 30 day shred challenge. I think I can do this because I really don't mind exercise. I find that after I do this DVD I am HUNGRY! I mean like HUNGRY so I now have to remember to not eat. LOL I will have the final stats of the first big challenge later. I'm down maybe 4 pounds in 12 weeks.LOL And that is something I can really actually do in a week or a couple of days if really trying. LOL

If I can't get lighter I will get smaller!

A pound is a pound.... Just a pound of fat is larger than a pound of muscle.

  

Maximized my life! Thanks Jillian!!!

Friday, April 12, 2013

I Matter.... I can be the most AWESOME me there ever could be and it's okay! It's okay for me to succeed.

This is what I learned.

Thank You Jillian Micheals! She ROCKS! Her show Maximize your Life is an amazing show and could really be life changing.

I don't know that I've ever had someone tell me I matter, I am awesome and it's okay for me to succeed. Very powerful if you ask me. I'm taking this with me today. :-)

Next on the list of educational things from Jillian: Organic.. I get it now!!!! I never really understood why but now I do! I know I can't afford it all the time but I can slowly change over. I've got this right? (yep)

Last journal I felt -
- I think I'm sabotaging myself.
- I do not feel support
- I feel separated from people
- I feel almost sad

Today I feel:
- the Self Sabotaging is at bay. Love routine!
- Found support...I've found my PT, Husband, Mom, Daughter - What else does a girl need?
- I think I separate myself from people. Only I can change that... Must try to be outgoing and find like minded people. HA HA NO WAY!
- Sad... It's not Sad that I feel... It's tired! I need sleep.

Kid is sick so I'm going to do lots of journaling today. Let's get this stuff out on paper so we know what is really going on in my crazy wonderful awesome self.

Thank you Jillian Micheals for giving me hope, re-newed energy and a spring in my step. She made me feel good and I was in the balcony with thousands of people in a venue. Her talk mattered and will stick with me for eternity!
Happy Friday!
Now let's get through the weekend without a major weight gain. LOL
