While I was putting laundry away today I stumbled upon a pair of my "skinny" pants. My ultimate goal is to get back into those pants or even a size smaller. I even bought a shirt from macy's that will go with those pants. I am so motivated right now!!! I did some strength training today and i feel great!!!!

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

So I just got a couple messages from my boyfriends step-mom. She is in Utah at their winter home and must be seriously bored. She sent me messages saying that I should go to school for nursing instead of law enforcement. She said that it's too dangerous and I will never find a job doing it. I just finished my firefighting degree and she said the same for that occupation also. She also said that oncce I hit 35 years old it will be even harder to find a job. Why on earth would you tell so...

i recently entered a weight loss challenge. For this challenge i was told to consume 142 g of protein and stay between 1700-1800 calories. It seems like all I do is eat protein...is that safe???

I've had a pretty good day so far...i bought some reduced fat ritz crackers and a box of JIF to-go peanut butter cups the other day for snacks....I love the individual cups of peanut butter! It really takes the guess work out of portion control...I've already found that half of the cup is plenty for me...so far I haven't heard the whining little voice yet today..I'm hoping she stays away for a very long time...

As I was leaving my apartment to go to the gym that little whining voice inside me started to chime in with "I'm tired...i don't wanna go to the gym..." At that moment I gave that whining voice a swift kick in the tush and headed to the gym. most other days I would have listened to the voice and headed back inside my apartment to lounge on the couch. Today I was determined to workout. I made it to the gym and while I was on the stationary bike that little voice started up again. My thigh...

Despite the fact that I wanted to stay in bed forever today, I managed to get myself to go to the gym. i ate so much crap yesterday that my feet were swollen and my shoes didn't fit. I only walked for about 10 minutes on the treadmill because I could feel blisters forming on my heels from my shoes rubbing. but i didn't give up! i went home and put band-aids on the blisters then headed out to walk outside. i feel a billion times better now! I may even do some strength training today!!! ...

Time to get serious!

Sun, 3 Jul 2011 22:31:58 EST

Looking at the scale this morning I realized that I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been in my life! Not only that, but my blood pressure has gone up again. It's time to get serious and get this weight off. I thought I would have lost somne by now but life has gotten in the way of that. I changed my work schedule around so I will have time to go to the gym in the mornings. My weight has always fluctuated and I really want to get control of that. Just 7 years ago I was at 175 pound...

Back on SP

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:07:13 EST

So after a long, stressful week last week I am finally back on here. I had so much to do last week before my camping trip this past weekend. On top of working extra hours, I also had a lot of homework and assignments to turn in before we left for Ely Minnesota on friday. The trip was wonderful! A well deserved and needed vacation!! Although I didn't eat the greatest on the trip I did watch my portion sizes so I didn't gain any weight at all on the trip. Ely is a great place to vacation....

Horrible day!

I was at work the other day..I work with developmentally disabled adults who live on their own. I had just got done working with an individual when I was stopped by a lady in a wheelchair as I was leaving the apartment building. The lady asked me if I was pregnant. I jokingly responded, " No I'm just fat and I haven't had time to go to the gym lately." The lady responded by saying, "Well you better get to the gym fast!" I was DEVISTATED! Why would you say something like that to someone ...

Week 2

Tue, 8 Mar 2011 13:22:18 EST

Well I am down 7 pounds from week 1, but that is mostly because I've been sick and have no appetite. I will hopefully be better soon so I can get back in the gym.

Day 1

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 13:34:03 EST

Today is the first day of my 16 week challenge. The weigh in this morning was as bad as I suspected. I had gained weight over the past week. I knew I had gained because I had eaten a ton of pizza on saturday night after having a few drinks. oh well, all I can do now is lose the weight again and look towards the future. So far I am on track for today. I am within my calorie guidelines and I have gotten some exercise already today. I'm doing pretty good considering I have only gotten 4 h...

Beginning a 16 week challenge

Sun, 27 Feb 2011 22:38:32 EST

I have decided to start a 16 week challenge for myself. I take an annual camping trip to Ely, MN and I want to be healthy enough to hike the trails I love up there. They aren't easy trails and the way I've been feeling lately there would be no way I could make it on the trails. I haven't exactly been disciplined in my weighloss journey and it's time to hold myself accountable. I have made the following guidelines for myself:
# Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day
# exercise for 45 ...
