yay tuesday!

I have eaten 800 calories today and i have my two hour gym night tonight so i should end pretty low. im not gonna eat until after my workout, and i should keep my dinner under 700 so ill be good!! and ill finish the night with a LARGE bowl of fruit :)

i LOVE my fruit!

Im so glad im done with my dogs! we are just awaiting to hear the word that i have been certified. until then, my job is to do as little work AT work as possible. lol

Yay MonDay WooHoo Yay MoNdAY

i dont know where all the positivity came from lol im just in a really good mood. i weighed today, probably shouldnt have since aunt flow is still visiting, but its ok. i weighed in at 173.2, WITH clothes on, which is NOT bad at all. my lowest weight so far is 171.8 so im only 1.4 higher than that, and i had my pajamas on. for some reason im not feelin thin today but #’s dont lie! i must just be bloated.

Ive been GREAT on eats all day, had a chewy granola bar this morning (90), and a banana (72), then a tv dinner (270)and a 100 cal oreo cakester. dinner probably wont be TOO good, but im taking my mom out to dinner for her birthday at Lotawata Creek, and ive never been there, so i AM going to enjoy myself :) but not go too overboard!

LOVE YA ALL!! BS HAS been on my mind very much today!

woooHOOOO GREATTTTT news!

i have GREAT NEWS!!! i am done with my 100 dogs!! which for all of you that dont know or need to be reminded, once im done with the 100 dogs, i sent my grooming portfolio to home office, and they accept or decline me, which they really never decline anyone, and then i will be approved to be a certified groomer!!! WHICH means i will be making 50% comission PLUS tips. so i can make more money than i am now and save to move out! im hoping to be able to get my own apartment in august. im thinking its probably wise to save about 3000-4000 dollars before i move out, for first months rent, security deposit, furniture dishes and all the necessities. so its ON! i have 50 dollars saved so far :) lol i started last week. thats me collecting my tips, and im going to take out money from my bank account each week that i dont need, to put in my jar of money for moving out.

YAY!

stuff at work has gotten a little bit better, my manager is on our asses and has it out for us, but he is doing another grooming school so he is a little occupied.

ALSO, news on the exercise front, i was UNABLE to even get myself to the gym until tonight from wednesday nights class, it was MURDER. seriously, i was so stiff i had to take pain medication every day, and all day thrsday i was stuck in bed, i couldnt even walk up and down stairs! ouchie!

On the DIET FRONT, i think working out tonight really got me back into the mode i needed to be on. Being so down in the dumps lately has screwed up my eating. i never knew i was an emotional eater. when im sad, its like i dont eat at all, but when im really mad and pissed, is when i eat. NO MORE OF THAT! im back on 100% and i weighed at the gym and my screwups havent really been that bad. looking back at the past few days i guess my eats havent been TOO bad. and im also on my period so i dont see this affecting me that much, i just need to go FULL force again!

IM BACK EVERYONE, and seeing a brighter future :)

Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch!

I cant MOVE!! I am beyond sore i can only take baby steps! it sucks! i wanted to go to the gym today but its not looking like im going to be able to…

im feelin better about work and about life and not so down in the dumps… i knew it would just take time. i started reading your blogs again and catching up… it was about time. I just couldnt snap myself out of it.

 

I told myself I would eat fruit all day for two days, but i had a smoothie this morning and then a banana about an hour ago… im DYING.. i need some SALT!! i really want to go get some popcorn chicken from KFC but its 550 calories and i know that to cover up for those cals id have to go work out, and unless i can get myself on some major pain pills i dont see that being posible. maybe ill take some pain stuff and see how i feel, maybe i can get a lighter workout in.

anybody think i should stick to fruit for all of today? IDK? i thought it would be a good detox. hmmm…

im tired of feeling bloated! im so swollen cuz im geting my TOTM tomorrow.

well all, have a good day!

woah

i took a class called drills to make you sweat tonight and almost died!!!

it included cone jumps (60 seconds) then 10 second break, then lunges, then skating rink moves where you jump side to side, then toe jumps, then high knees, then jumping jacks, then squats,

a BUNCH of drills!

THEY HURT!! we also did running stuff where yu run forward to a cone, run backwards, then run more forward, turn around run to the cone, run backwards, and keep doing that for 5 minutes!!

then we did a bunch of stuff on the mats, with weights. it was HARRDDD!! my shins hurt REALLY BAD!

how is everyone doing?

my life

i know i dont share much about my life, but currently i am going through a whole lot of stuff that i cant disclose at the moment… lots of drama at work and could be fired/framed for soemthing i didnt do.

ill get back to you guys soon more details but as of right now im just needing everyones prayers and love/support, and know that im thinking of all!

AN ALLTIME LOW! # that is :) and hurt kitty- AND ZUMBA!

I weighed in today at 171.8!!!!!! MY LOWEST YET!!!!!!! I HAVENT SEEN THE 171 RANGE YET!

another two weeks and im SURE ill be at my mini goal!!!! 160′S HERE I COMEEEEE!!!!!

and i honestly woke up today feeling chunky. lol

On a sad note, i woke up this morning to my cat screaming, i havent written anything about him, but he is like my child. He cuddles with me, and sleeps in my arms, he comes when you call him. His name is Puppy because he acts like a dog. Well he got really hurt!!!! He got out somehow and got in a fight with a racoon or something and has a reallly hurt leg. I took him to the vet, and it cost me 298!!! JEEZ. but he is WELL worth it, we just need to keep him inside.

my poor baby.

I ALSO TOOK MY FIRST ZUMBA CLASS TONIGHT and i realized i am SOOO uncordinated. I was REALLLY nervous about taking it cuz i am not a dancer and im shy, but i DID IT with two girlfriends and i really liked it!!

im thinking about taking more free classes at my gym now that im not so scared!!

My tummy hurts!!! :)

I went to the gym tonight for my two hour tuesday night and i had eaten probably 45 minutes before the workout. BAD idea. and i ate a HUGE salad!! so it was hard for me to get PUMPED up but it just took a lot longer for me to warm up and get going. and i DRANK 64 oz of water throughout my workout!! i just got SOOOOOOOO DESPERATELY thirsty i coulnt stand it!! i now know how a camel feels! lol :) I ended burning 1020 calories! i just KEPT at it for two hours!! and all i ate today was a cracker snack thing (200 cals) a banana (72 cals) 3 pieces of bread (?) and a HUGE salad from california pizza kitchen. I didnt really even eat dinner but i DOUBT i could fit anything else in my stomach it is STUFFFFFFFFFED with water. so i had a good day! yesterday, not so good day, but hey, each day counts! and im loving this journey that is more about moderation and lifestyle changes rather than HUGE drastic cuts to everything I like. So, i am in this for the long haul and i am kind of excited that it is taking a long time, (i know strange right!!) but i dont know what i would be focusing my energy on if i wasnt so focused on losing this weight and bettering myself! each day that goes by is another day that i am spending my energy making myself a better person which makes me stronger physically and emotionally.

I LOVE ME!

AND ALL OF YOU! :)

another greeeattttt day! got some negativity today. ;(

I had another LOW cal day AND got a work out in!!! yay! i did 55 minutes on the amt100i and i burned 640 calories (so the machine says)

and i only ate approx 1400 calories!!! YAY! another low day! my collar bones are sticking out visibly more now! i cant wait to weigh in. if i have a few more GREAT days then i will definately weigh in soon or set a date!

Today, i did have some negative feedback though. I was at work with my girls and we were talking about weight, and this girl i work with was like “have you lost weight?” and i said “yeah i have but ive lost more inches than weight” and we got into what that means and she was like well you dont need to lose weight. She said “You and lisa both dont need to” and compared me to her in that sense!! this girl lisa looks how i looked when i FIRST started!!

This is me on the right prob 5 lbs lost after i started. I dont want anyone to take this the wrong way as insulting to anyone who is heavier than me, or where i started, that is not what imsaying. but you would be insulted too if you started out like this… and now you look like this, and you still are losing each day.

It just kinda makes me feel like my HARD efforts are going unnoticed. :(

but I know that I DO notice differences and i think they are just being very self centered.

which of my buddies have aim?

which of m buddies chat on aim? my sn is shakeyolonbon44, what r urs!
