School has started! :)

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:48:08 EST

SO School has begun! i started september 4th and im into my second week now. I am going to be very busy at school from now on so i probably rarely be visiting the site. But i am still working out!
I have fitness class twice a week at school which is fun! Learning lots of different cardio and weight exercises. So i'll be doing that and probably going to the gym 3 or 4 times per week if i can.
Even though I already knew, the fact that paramedics need to be strong is becoming more app...

Plateau ?

Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:24:58 EST

Soo it seems that I'm stuck at 160 pounds. I can't seem to loose anymore.
I am aware of the evil plateau that people hit but i swear i am doing more than I was when I was loosing pounds.
A personal trainer that I've talked to at the gym says that I should be doing more weights than cardio and that weights are gonna make me loose more. But I haven't found that to be the case.

I don't really know what to do. I do need to increase my strength to meet requirements for school...

Hello!

Just thought I'd write about how I've been lately.
I've actually been feeling really Great! Other than being sick for a couple days...

I've been loving going to the gym! Its fun! Ive been going to the all womens club by my house and its a really relaxing experience. The co-ed gym is okay but i find its busier than the womens club.

Ive been feeling alot better about the way i look. More confidence for sure! I keep buying clothes lol when i really shouldnt because ...

Tired!

Fri, 25 May 2012 23:27:40 EST

Well I got back from Brantford, ON yesterday. I was so exausted. slept on a couch for two nights, didnt sleep well at all. Last night was nice to finally be back in my bed. Fell asleep around 11:30ish. I always have trouble falling asleep even if im exausted! :( Got up at 8 for work this morning, but decided to call in sick cause i felt like crap :(
Had myself a lazy day today. Slept, watched tv/youtube videos.
I needed to go to walmart to get some stuff so i figured i'd walk there...

Need to vent. Feel like crap.

for example, went and hung out with a friend today until 9 pm . got home and im too tired to work out i just want to head to bed. Also if i work out too late i find it hard to get to sleep, and im on call tomorrow for day shift soo i may be recieving a call early in the morning to go in..
Another example. my friends want to hang out and im like crap i havent worked out today. so i work out but then i only go to han...

The last week or so has been crazy, trying to find time to study, work, sleep and WORKOUT!
I also have been having some crazy moments where I just feel like eating, and its really hard to not eat the world. I made due by eating fruit and veggies. I had a crazy craving for Bits N Bites (snack food that has like pretzels, and cereal type things in it) so i did indulge myself in those a couple times. It was my studying snack haha.

But wow i made it through the first 3 exams (of ...

FINAL EXAMS

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:36:12 EST

Only 7 more days of classes and then final exams!
Gonna have to start studying a lot more and still need to find time to workout!

Ive been tempted to try running outside instead of doing cardio on my elliptical. But i am kinda intimidated for some reason. There are a lot of people outside and i like to be on my own..

thats pretty much all i have to say..
OH
I went to a BBQ today and cant say i didn't eat too much, but its not often that i do soo i dont f...

So I've been doing alot of the little activities on the site that get you Spark Points. I just did the one where you watch the video about Sparkpeople on Fox and i learned something I didnt know.

The guy who created this site first of all made a website something similar to ebay i guess, and so ebay bought him out. So he has all this money, and he decided to make Sparkpeople.com cause he wanted to help people and he made it free of charge as we all know.
He has sunk 5 millio...

Tue, 3 Apr 2012 19:49:40 EST

Wow i feel like i have no energy today.
I got up around 8am today and went to school and after I was done at school i visited a friend.
I came home did some homework and now its almost 8 pm and I am so tired.
I have cardio scheduled for today and i am procrastinating getting up and doing it!!!!

Ive been searching the forums for some motivation.. Its working a bit..

i Know i can do it!! And afterwards i can be as lazy as i want for the rest of the eveni...
