Friday night update!

Saturday, August 21, 2010

I've been majorly slacking on my blog and things in general. My unread email on yahoo is over 400! lol. It is the weekend now though (Thank GOD!) and I can take some time to catch up.

This week I started the Turbo Fire Prep Schedule. I only missed one workout and that was today. I woke up and my body was so sore and still is. Omg, that is an INTENSE workout, but so much fun! I've had the music to it stuck in my head all week. Crazy huh? That's never happened with a workout DVD before. lol Anyway, I'm seriously retaining water. I'm assuming because of the muscle soreness because I've stayed within or really close to calorie range all week. Crossing my fingers for a good weigh in. I really want to see 189 on that scale SOOO badly!

I feel accomplished on what I've done so far though. The compliments are coming from everywhere. My closet is full of clothes that look like bags on me now! I love shopping, but as soon as I find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly, they become loose two weeks later. =D

I'll post another update tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

PS. For those who have facebook, please like my new page! I'd really appreciate it. =)

Temporary Relapse =(

Saturday, August 14, 2010

I honestly don't know what got into me today. Everything started off fine then I almost cried at work. I just wanted to leave. I got to leave early and all I could think about was food so I went to Taco Bell and ate tons there then I bought a bag of chocolate peanut butter cups at Walmart and ate half of that. Then I came home and continued until now. My stomach is killing me, and I feel gross. Why do I do this to myself? I haven't done it in so long. My weigh in was supposed to be tomorrow. I don't know if I even wanna see it until I'm not bloated anymore because it will just depress me.

I know I've come so far. 35lbs is alot of weight that can't be gained back over night. It's just lessons learned, right? Tomorrow I'm starting the Turbo Fire prep schedule so I can get strong enough to do the actual program. Eventually I want to add in ChaLEAN Extreme so I can get the muscles I've always wanted! I know I can do this. Today was just a step back. That's all. One step back, two steps forward. Someday the chubbies will just be a memory! =D Emotional eating got the best of me today. I just wanted to admit to that so I can move forward. I'm gonna work hard this week so next weeks weigh in will be extra awesome. Thanks for reading. I really appreciate you guys.

This is my life now.

Tuesday, August 03, 2010

My weekends aren't spent wondering what food I can stuff in my face until Monday comes around and I "start over" again.

Working out is something I look forward to.

I crave healthy food.

I splurge occasionally but I KNOW it won't lead to a relapse. That's all it is. Just one meal. One day!

Clothes are starting to look great on me. Compliments are coming from everywhere! *motivation increased 5 million percent*

Motivating others motivates me! I want to see others do the same thing and feel the same way I do right now.

Depression. What is that again? I'm taking care of ME now. Everything else will fall into place. There's no reason to sit around and sulk about the hard stuff in life. Life is too short for that.

My workouts now have their own special calendar on my desk. I track everything in it daily. I plan my workout for tomorrow before I go to bed. Who am I again!? lol

What I'm trying to say is that this stuff changes you if you let it. Educate yourself on the cold hard FACTS of weight loss and take action TODAY. Life is waiting for you. You have the power to control this. Do you really want to have toned arms, rock hard abs, or fit into those cute designer jeans you drool over but never dreamed of actually wearing? (The last one is for me lol.) Well, you have to work for it. It's not gonna come over night, and it won't come without WORK. The thing is, it truly pays off in the end. Someday you'll look back and wonder WTH were you thinking? Why didn't you do it sooner?!?

August is finally here!

Monday, August 02, 2010

Yesterday was the first day of August. My birthday is this month so I'm super pumped to get some more of this weight off! I started the Turbo Fire schedule yesterday, and I can't wait to do my second workout tomorrow! My weight is at 191.6 right now. I'm ready to be in the 180's! This whole weight loss thing is still sorta a shock to me. I've never felt this way before. It's amazing and I MUST keep hold of this for the rest of my life. Health and fitness are everything to me and I'll make sure it always will be. Nothing beats this. Nothing feels better than this does!

I feel like blogging. =)

Today was such a great day! I spent the entire evening with my husband and in-laws. We went out for dinner, I looked at shoes with his mom, we saw Eclipse (which was AWESOME!!), got ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery, and then we watched the fireworks by the river! Omg, it was sooo much fun!

On a crappy note, we came home and our puppy ate one of my turbo jam dvd's. Anyone know if I can buy an individual dvd without purchasing the whole package again? I bought the five basic workouts plus the deluxe package so I suppose I have plenty until I can get Turbo Fire. =/ Still sucks though.

I've been sorta frustrated because of how slowly I'm losing weight. I know I could be more strict with my diet, but my blood sugar goes down often and I start shaking so I snack alot which tends to make me go over by a few points everyday. How am I supposed to stay within range while keeping my blood sugar steady? I'm not diabetic. I have no idea what the problem is!

My doctor put me on Topamax for prevention of migraines. I was a little freaked out because it's what my brother takes to control his seizures. A side effect of it is weight loss and about 20% of people have reported weight loss, so I was like HELL YEAH. LOL Hope I'm one of those people. ;)
Btw, Prozac is a godsend with depression. It's truly worked miracles with me. I can't imagine my life without it now. I don't think it's addictive. It gives me an extra sense of control over my emotions. They don't control me so much anymore. My husband said to me today, "You know, you're actually fun to be around now." LOL That's a compliment coming from him. It was nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the company of him and his family without being a nervous wreck.

Anyways, hope all is well with everyone. I've been sorta hovering around, but not jumping into anything really. I'm still here though. Trying to focus on my weight loss, my goals, and my marriage (which is amazing thanks to giving it more attention). I love you guys, and you inspire me to be the best ME everyday.
