3rd Times a Charm!

You deserved a lazy weekend! You kicked butt last week.

Last week seemed like the whole week was lazy, and it felt a little too good.

Nothing like a half marathon to destroy that! lol

5 weeks left!! Crazy!

I cant wait to see you in Vegas! It'll be time to celebrate and party!! Whoo hoo!!!
 
Oh man, I was so bad today! It started out good- made a protein shake for breakfast, soup and fruit for lunch, after work I had some veggies(corn and green beans) and then took a tiny nap- WANTED a nice long two hour nap since I had the time to spare, and seriously, About the same time I fell asleep, I got like 37 texts. Psh. Thats ok tho, got my butt up, went to the bookstore and got a few books and then went to the grocery store where I got TONS of good healthy stuff, annnndddd then I bought a little thing of Ben n Jerrys :( I say little, but its a regular size 4 serving container, that I ate ALL of in about an hour. Bleh. Four hours later, and I'm still a little sick to my stomach...probably didn't help with the workout, or, who knows, maybe that made it better! Soooo yeah, there was about 1250 cals in that "snack". I haven't had a little binge like that in quite a while, so I'm a bit surprised at myself for doing it now. EXACTLY 5 weeks before I go to Vegas. Subconciously sabatoging myself?? Eh. STupid. Gonna hafta really kill myself to make up for it this week.

Anyway, heres tonights workout: Back. Cardio: 40min cross trainer, 2.77miles. Basically a slacker workout, PROBABLY due to my sugar overload. bleh. Didn't even go to the gym till 130am. man, I neeeeed to start making myself go earlier... cuz now, its 3am, and I gotta get up in five hours to be on a conference call. GAAA!
 
Your day sounds relaxing but yech to feeling sick!! I'm sick too, the doctor thinks it is because I finally got a chance to slow my life down and I am just run down! Of course of course we all get sick at the worst times! Don't worry about the ice cream either, the workouts you have been putting in more than compensate for a little indulgence! Just don't let it happen again before the big Vegas trip! I'm so jealous of you guys...

Congrats on the raise, from what you have been writing here, you earned it!!!!

Keep up the good work girl!
 
Todays workout: chest. Cardio: 45min cross trainer, 3.21miles. I also swam for half hour, which I don't really count towards the cardio because it was more focus on just working on my arms. Then I sat in the sauna for ten minutes.

Today was an eh day. Food wasn't horrible, I bought a new flavor of protein (cake batter, yum!!), my store starts the reset tomorrow- get to move everything all around and get new signs and stuff- I'm really excited,lol. Everyone makes fun of me for it :rolleyes: , so anyway, I got the sections for tomorrow ready to go. Then I got called to work at Breakers, so I figure a few hours won't hurt, BUT I need to take a nap- so I try to take a little nap, and my youngest sister comes home and is arguing with my other sister about stupid gastric bypass surgery. GAA! A lot of you have heard me bitch about this before, but its getting old. Shes going around telling everyone that we don't support her, call her fat, tell her she can't do anything, yada yada yada. Its so annoying. I can support her, no problem, but I just CAN'T support this surgery. She hasn't done jack squat to deserve it- put some friggin work into it! Get off your butt, walk around the block once a day, work your way up. Eat less of the bad stuff, start eating "clean". But no. She just lashes back at us- calls me a college dropout(I'm not REALLY a dropout- I just haven't finished yet :) ) told our youngest sister that she was an alcoholic(Lacey is 19, and goes out like once a week, not even close to being an alcoholic.), tells my dad that he doesn't love her- just Lacey and myself. We're all so sick of it... I can't even talk to her anymore, because everytime I say, how bout we go for a walk? She says- I'm to tired. I'm just gonna go home. Or- lets make salads tonight. She says- no, I kinda want pasta. What the hell ya sposeta do when the person you are trying to help won't do a damn thing, but then turns around and makes everyone else feel like the bad guy because we don't believe in the surgery?! I don't and WON'T support it until I see some damn effort on her part. GAAA!!!

Anyway, I'm beat. Long, emotionally draining bitch sessions about my sister always do that to me :rolleyes:
 
Woah. She seems to be blaming everyone but herself on this one. Has anyone ever said to her that it is HER body and no one can change it but HER? I know it is hard to listen to and you're a saint for not saying what I would probably say back at her. I agree, I wouldn't support the surgery either unless an honest effort was tried on her part to lose the weight the natural way.

Where did you get cake batter protein!?!?!?!?!?! That sounds AMAZING!!! Keep up the great work!
 
Hey Jess!

I hear you about your sister. Sounds like she needs to worry about herself, instead of what everyone else is doing.

I also feel like gastric is a lazy man's way out for those people who don't ever even try to lose weight the right way. I hear too that in the long run it causes problems because of the lack of nutrients absorbed.

It's also interesting to see how many people gain the weight back over time, once they stretch their stomach back out because they never dealt with the issues in the first place.

Good luck with that! I know that must be so frustrating. Just keep leading by example girl! You should be proud of yourself.

It took me 10 years to finish college, but I graduated with honors!! Just keep at it, and never give up. You'll get there.

Its Muscle Milk Light. I'm not a big fan of Muscle Milk- don't get me wrong, they're protein tastes AMAZING, but they don't pay us anything on commission, lol, so its hard for me to sell the product. However, the cake batter protein is delicious :) Had it for breakfast this morning. mmmmm :) I always love a protein that I don't need to blend a buncha stuff with to make palatable!

Yeah, but she just sees the GOOD side of the surgery, and all of her big friends are doing it and are dropping weight like crazy, and therefor she feels like she can just keep fitting in. I DO feel bad for her, shes very large, but I think she can prove that shes stronger than the friends who haven't tried a thing; it may take longer, but what a waste it would be to have the srugery done and then keep doing the things you were doing in the first place and gain it back. Bleh. I hate thinking about it.

Yeah, I'll get there. I've always said it. I just can't focus on school :rolleyes: EVENTUALLY tho, I will be able to :)
 
Went to the gym a LOT earlier than normal tonight- 1130 lol. A friend came with, so I didn't think it would be fair to make her wait till 1 or so to do it.
Workout: did a little bit of shoulders, and a little bit of chest. Eh, I already did one of them this week, but I decided on a little more :) Cardio: 50min cross trainer, 3.62miles. It sounds so horrible to say this, but when my skinny friend couldn't keep up on cardio, it felt pretty nice, haha! She quit at 25minutes on the cross trainer, sat down for the next 25 to wait for me, lol... It just felt nice to know that I'm in good enuf shape to outdo someone, even if she DOESN'T workout on a regular basis.

Anyway, since I'm done posting, and its wayyyy before I normally go to bed, I think I'm gonna try to sleep, see how I feel in the morning. I need to start going to the gym earlier, it was a little busier, but not much. I can handle it.
 
Its 430am, so I need to make this snappy:

Bis and tris, cardio, 65min 4.7miles.

Ate a loootttt of sushi tonight :( I'm never gonna lose anymore weight. this is stupid. Also, got to the gym tonight at 130am, and theres a tiinnnnny itty bitty llittle sign that says they're gonna start closing at 1130pm, opening at 430am. This SUCKS! I don't work out any earlier than 1130pm... The whole appeal of this gym is its 24hours. SHIT! I can go to any other gym in town that has more amenities and the payments won't be to high, and the hours will be the same. They are being idiots. Granted, my membership is free, but now I'll probably lose it cuz they won't need a night sub anymore. While I was there, 2people cancelled their memberships. Not a good start. Ohhhh I'm so mad. Its gonna start on November 1st, so I'm gonna hafta start going earlier to see if I can handle it, GAA!

yes you are! So you had some sushi, over with, done... Move on! :hurray:
As for the gym, that sucks! If they are trying to cut back on employee hours to save money, they should get the card system that let's members come and go 24/7. We have one of those here (Snap Fitness 24/7) and its great! Then they wouldn't have to pay as much in wages but they wouldn't lose customers either. Oh well, what can ya do. :(
 
I met up with a friend last night who had the bypass surgery. I guess she put all her weight back on? I guess that surgery is only a temporary fix? I had thought it was more permanent, but I guess not.

There is always a price to pay for short cuts.

At least we are doing it slow and steady, and getting healthier in the process. You are kicking butt with the workouts girl!

Whoo hooo!!!

No, they think they're gonna save a ton of money on utility bills by being closed for five hours! Psh. Stupid. So annoying... I did realize that I WILL still have a free membership tho- I have one of their membership boxes in my store, and you get 1 free pass per store that has one, so I still luck out a little bit. I'm probably still gonna try to find a 24hour gym, just cuz on the weekends now and then I don't have anything to do, so I workout... Guess we'll see. :rant:
Thanks for stoppin in Paula!

Yeah, she went to a regular Dr. the other day just for a checkup- shes got a sleep test coming up soon, she hasta start taking major doses of fish oil for her cholesterol and blood pressure also. She DID ask her dr if she thought it would be appropriate to have the surgery done, and she told ME that her dr said she wants to see her do it on her own first, so she actually went and got a gym pass, started walking a LITTLE bit, etc. But she told our other sister that the dr said she needs to have it done. Whatever, who knows the "real" truth with it anymore. I just can't handle it. I think its lazy, and like you say- quick fix. You still hafta work to be healthy, no matter how fast you lose the weight.

Yeah, I'm getting healthier, and I'm feeling better, and feel like I'm in pretty damn good shape, its just soooo frustrating to not see it on the scale. Yeah yeah, I know, I say that every coupla weeks when I get depressed about it, but really. Would it be that horrible for me to just lose this last seventy lbs fast-ish and call it good? lol!
 
Tonights workout: Legs. Cardio- cross trainer 50min, 3.56miles.
ALSO did 10min of the Biggest Loser free video on VOD, just cuz Alta said it was on there, so I had to check it out... But, I just did that 10 min a few minutes ago, right after my regular workout... Gonna hafta start doing that after work everyday I think :) It was nice- a decent workout, but you don't FEEL like your working that hard. I'm excited about that!

So we had this crazy amount of realllly wet snow dump on us last night- there are trees split in half all over the place, I've got half a tree on my roof, half of one our trees is in the neighbors yard, HUGE mess. Apparently they declared civil emergency? or something like that, in Billings, so hopefully that means I won't hafta pay to have the trees removed, lol. Thats expensive! Thats honestly the first thing that went thru my head after I realized there wasn't any damage done- holy shit, I don't wanna pay for this mess. Its so sad tho, all these huuuggggeeee trees all over the place, gone in a few hours :( cuz of snow! Stupid.

Anyway, Im gonna get to bed, gonna hafta start getting up earlier to warm up my car now. Yay...
 
We got some snow too but nothing like Montana from what I understand! I hate winter... it's the one season I can honestly say I HATE! Have a good day Jess!
 
Tonights workout: shoulders, cardio: cross trainer 1hr, 4.29miles.

Felt realllly blah today- those are the worst, especially when your day starts out fantastic, and then like three hours later you just feel like a wind up toy. "whiirrrrrrrr..." annnnd your out. Got home from work, watched a little tv, took a three and a half hour nap, got up and then went to the gym. Jesus, what an eventful life!
Hoping to have a more eventful day tomorrow :rolleyes:
