Yuck...

Monday, April 29, 2013

I am not very proud to say that I've totally slacked. I'm back up to the 2 hundy mark as of 7:30 this morning ... But I packed a healthy lunch, and I ate oatmeal before I left for work ... The weather is getting nicer (finally) and I will be doing a lot more outside. Mondays are softball nights. Tues-Wed-Thurs are volleyball. So my workouts will have to be at 5:00 in the morning. (SH*TBUCKETS) but it'll all be so worth it anyway so I'm good.

Insanity/TurboFire Hybrid starts tonight. Eegads I'm excited.

As far as the relationship front: All is more than excellent. :) I am the luckiest girl in the world and he definitely is my biggest supporter (besides one of my best friends, whom I'm doing this journey with, because she's getting married in October) but he's trying to find a job closer to me and he's slowly moving his stuff into the house .. he wants to workout with me which i'm only half excited about only because I'm still pretty self concious sweating like a pig infront of anyone lol...

I've done it before I can do it again, eating clean, thinking about trying to go more Gluten Free but I've heard it's also a pain in in the keester ... I want to be able to make meals weekly - but I don't know how much to shop for, what freezes for how long .. I really need it idiot proofed to be honest. So I will continue my search for it though...

Hope everyone is doing well, sorry I've been gone. The upside - it's not 7 months down the road .. I've caught it before I spiral WAAAAY out of control... so with that said ... another 2 hours before I can get home and workout ... but I'm drinking my 4th liter of water for the day ... no more soda. no more alcohol. no more bread. no more excuses.

    Yeah I recently started getting up at 5 am to go for a morning run. It's rough but worth it. Don't beat yourself up for the past, just work on making today great!

Insanity Round 2

Saturday, January 12, 2013

Hey guys!! Sorry I've been so MIA lately! UGH I'm mad at myself for not checking in and blogging enough... but that's about to change.

I haven't completely fallen off the wagon. But this past week was a game changer. Work was insane. Computer and internet issues, so I basically was a sitting duck all week up until Friday around 1pm ... But I've worked out everday except for yesterday this past week, such a great way to take out the stress!

So my plan was to wait till tomorrow to restart insanity, but with nothing to do today until about 6 pm ... i decided to not binge out and get my sweat on ... Granted, I've been saying it for the past few hours, but I wanted to get my beginning pictures and measurements taken again. I've gained about 5 lbs back, which I can't complain too much but that's because of the holiday. At least it's not 15 or 20. So I'll pick my battles, but enough of this here...

Hope you are all having a great weekend thus far!!!

xoxo

Weekend

Monday, December 17, 2012

Total bust. Ate like poop. Didn't track my food (BAD STACY). Didn't workout ...

New week - Home stretch with insanity ... TIME TO GET BACK WITH IT.

Weekly goals:

Track track track my food!!
Make healthier choices!!
Elliptical 60 mins a day!!
Insanity (last week - time to push through to the max)!!

I stepped back on the scale, and I wasn't happy with it what so ever ... but I can feel the results regardless.

UGH it gets so d*mn frustrating sometimes... but it's okay - the only person I have to be "better" than is myself. And the only person who can do it for me, is me.

**see I'm human, this whole rollercoaster of a journey is what makes it worth it right?**

    You know, the scale is a great tool but it's so unreliable at the same time. I weigh in the upper 140's but at the same time I'm a 5/6. I know a woman who weighs 10lbs less than I do and is a size 12. Moral of the story? Do you. Screw the numbers. Use it as a guide so that you can chart progress but it's not the end all be all of your fitness. You're doing great. I'm super proud of you.

    I, too, didn't have the best weekend in regards to this journey - for me, healthy eating. It's frustrating, but like you said, we are humans. Let's make this a great week!

Update ..

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Hey guys!! Sorry I've been a little MIA, I'm here, I'm trying to check in, just can't blog as much. I have only stepped on the scale twice this month, the last time was on the 4th ... so, so far I'm doing good with that!

Last week after Wednesday, there were 4 days that went by that I didn't workout ... BAD STACY!!! I was a wee bit emotional and got in a funk. But I'm not letting that stop me .. The holidays have been coming up and I've been super busy trying to get the house cleaned up so I could put up the tree, had to dog sit this past weekend, a snow storm, and sunday I was just beat, but had to run the dogs back to the parents house ... Ugh, anyway they're just excuses ... none of them really matter, the only person I let down is myself. The difference between the me now and the me last year, is i would have given up, beat myself up, and all this hard work would have just drifted back into bad habits... I'm still here. Roaring and ready to go.

Got up this morning at 445 ... got my workout clothes on ... my dog was giving me those I wanna cuddle eyes ... laid down, he laid on top of me (saint bernards are no light lap dogs) put on my shoes, and i was giving myself till 515 then I WAS getting a sweat fest in ... yup. 620 comes around ... I fell asleep! Oh no! but I still ended up getting in my cardio abs, and tonight I will get my max recovery - and HOPEFULLY i'll push thru another video. Then i'll be all caught up for this week... well that's about all i got for now... LOTS OF WORK TO DO! Hope you guys are meeting your goals ... chat soon! xo

Mornings

Thursday, December 06, 2012

I've been getting up (not as often as I should) before work in the mornings and getting a workout in :) Let me tell you, I will mumble and grumble all the way up until the warmup is over ... but I feel great today. So I am hoping I can keep this morning streak going. I can tell ( I think ) my metabolism is speeding up because I am hungry more often during the day, and I'm letting myself eat. I will be doing another two videos of Insanity when I get home tonight, making up for last night because I skipped out and went to bed early. I don't have too much time to blog right now ... but I'm trying to keep up with everything and everybody!!! I will recap soon!!! **but at least it's uneventful, stress wise!!! :)

    I work out in the morning as well. It sucks, and there is never a day that I don't want to just sleep in. But I always know my workout is done and over with for the day. And that is motivation lol.
