TMI post. Guys might now want to read.
I don't think I'm preggo... I do think I had a flu of some sort.
I am not happy about it... well... I was ok... and then I went to the mall yesterday and I saw 4 girls from my high school graduating class with babies. I want a family of my own.
I had a very strange TOM. I spotted for the most part for 5 days (usual duration).
I'm dealing. Weightloss and healthy eating has just been... OFF.
I need to clean my room. Tomorrow I am having a date day with by Boy. <33 My self esteem is coming back. For now anyways.
but I really need to go clean my room before Dan comes home from work and kicks my butt! lol.

lol I love how being pregnant can be compared to having the flu! All in due time. You will have a family. I understand the need but you still have some time. Once you get on your feet and have a place of your own and a career you will be so much happier with your decision for a family. Just think!! You never know where those girls you saw were in their lives... maybe the dads left them to fend on their own and they are living at their parents house trying to scrape together some sort of life for themselves all while envying you for not have a kid yet! It's much better when your in a good place!!
You "sound" down so I hope I am mis-reading. I miss your posting so often but I guess I am one to talk lol
Hope you have a good date day tomorrow! Sounds fun! What are you guys going to do? I love sushi and movies on date days yum! Hope you are having a good break from school!!
I'll be back around the computer starting next week and back on im. I was so busy with the holidays that there just hasn't been much time to sit and chat and post!! Looking forward to getting back to all that! So come join me

Sorry I haven't been around much everyone. I've had a few days where I am just... depressed. But I think it might have been hormones making my moods fling around like crazy. Don't get me wrong... I've been very happy for the most part... and with all the holidays... The last think I have been thinking about is weight loss, and things have just been nuts. I got quite a few gift certificates, so after Dan and I went out to lunch at Panera Bread, we went shopping in the mall. I bought a few items of clothing and a Jillian Michaels exercise DVD. And then I went to Macy's and bought a nice wallet thingy for my purse that was on sale. I still have $35 to Borders to buy a book or something, and then I have $90 spending money in cash. I'm going to save that until I find something I really need or want.
Now that the holidays are over, I'm getting back into the weight loss swing of things. I am thinking healthier... and it has almost been natural. I don't want to eat the greasy crap anymore. I've been really into salads lately. I love 'em. And I took a look at the Jillian Michaels DVD I bought... and it looks awesome. I decided to buy it because I can always use a change in exercise routines. For one reason or another The Biggest Loser is always a HUGE motivation for me, and Jillian Michaels is my favorite exercise guru. lol. So I might go out tonight and buy the other Biggest Loser DVDs for $9 a piece. I'll go out tonight for it I'm sure. I am not the most patient person in the world.
I am excited to get back on track... and saying that... I really haven't fallen off too far over the holidays. I gained 2lbs, but my choices have been better than in any other year.
Tonight I am going to watch my youtube videos, see if I can find some Biggest Loser shows online to watch, and maybe try out my DVD a bit later. I need to rest for a few minutes, I have very little energy right now. lol.
I will be back posting more often, and will get to everyone's journals tonight and tomorrow morning.
Sorry again guys.

I have decided to make my New Years resolutions....
1. Find my first full time job at a place in my career field.
2. Lose weight... DUH. Well... instead of just saying that, I have decided to give myself regular exercises to do. I plan to incorporate running, walking, the 3 Biggest Loser DVD's, strength training, and yoga/pilates into my weekly schedule.
I am going to start the C25K january 1st. And On the off days of that I will be doing a power walk- rain, snow, ice, hail... lol. The BL DVDs I will do daily no doubt. Strength training I will do once a week, and yoga/pilates I will do once a week.
Those are my only goals I am setting for 2009. I am going to be graduating college, and I want to be fit and healthy to start my "real" life. And Of course I want to find my first full time job!!! That sort of goes along with graduating college. lol.
I am actually going to start my routine tomorrow, I don't want to wait until New Years!
When the Biggest Loser 7 starts on the first Tuesday of january... I want to be there losing weight with them... not just wishing I could be there.

Today I am starting my New Years resolution in the weight loss department because no better time than the present. I'm pretty happy after talking with Dan last night... because while discussing New Years Resolutions, he told me he wanted to lose 50 pounds. He might not exercise like me, he has his own thing. But he will definitely eat healthy with me... because once Dan sets his mind to something, he sticks with it. So as long as I can keep my exercise habits up, he can help keep my good eating habits up.
Dan is at work for the next few hours, so I am going to get some stuff done. I need to clean- but that should only take me 30 minutes or so, and then i will do my 30 day shred- which is a 20 minute program, and then a 30 minute power walk today.
The C25K program I want to start after New years, and I will do a Saturday, Monday, Wednesday training... because once school starts up again, that will be my ideal schedule for it. I will do 30 minutes of power walking on the days I do not have the training.
I am really excited to do this. Because I have made a schedule that includes daily exercise, and I have made it fun, and something I can do.
Now I have decided when making this list that if I need a rest day during the week, I can make one rest day any day during the week, but I don't want it to be a C25K day because I want to stick to that training.
Get ready to see my weight melt off the sexy body I know I have under there somewhere!!

Good luck to the two of you! It is a lot easier when you have someone doing it with you, even if it's just the food thing you're doing together. That's what I find hard, when my fiance wants to eat something bad then I want it. We both want to lose weight for the wedding, so on the weekend we're gonna come up with a food plan, woo! I definately know that to be successful with your food you do need to plan ahead so that you know what your eating and making sure it's the right stuff ahead of time. So good luck with that! I know that's my biggest issue right now so hopefully you two will have much better success at starting healthy eating!

Thanks. I feel foolish saying how badly I would love a family. Because I am so young, and there is a lot I want to do... I just can't help it. Needless to say I will not be "trying" for a family any time soon. I talked to the boy about it, and we decided that we want to wait at least a year after we move out. To make sure we are on our feet at least.
Never apologize Sweetheart.Behind all this weight loss crap we are real people with real lives.We can be put on hold
Yeah I understand... but i miss all you when I leave! lol.
It comes and goes really. My moods are like that. I don't know if its hormones... or if I just have issues. lol.
I haven't tried it quite yet, I will start right after I eat something for lunch. But I have heard a TON of good things about it. It is a 20 minute work out, and there is NO break. But I guess that makes the time go buy faster!If it is double over there, try searching it on Amazon.com.... I saw it on there for $7.99! And sometimes you can find free shipping coupons.Let me know about that Dvd and really only 9 bucks, geeesh. It is like dbl over here

I set some big exercise goals... because I want to push myself. I haven't made anything so absurd that I will have to exercise 4 hours every single day. I just do about 1 hour a day all together... and they are things that don't have to be done in a row... I can do one activity, and do the other later or something.
You can get the C25K for free on itunes when you search podcasts. Robert Ullrey I believe. I bet there is others though. Where did you buy it from? I hear you about the snow. lol. I am worried about that when I am starting my running... but I will try and run through the snow.lol. I don't know how well that will work, but we'll see how things turn out.

Oh man.. I can totally relate to you. When my boyfriend wants something... he asks me if I want him to make me the same thing. And usually I say yes.. and it works both ways. We will definitely need that food plan! He doesn't want to start until the New Years... until then he just wants to eat all the Christmas goodies so he won't miss them and feel bad for throwing them away. lol.
Thats the one!! I heard it was really intense, and a really great work out! If I like this one, I might check out the other Biggest Loser DVD's...hell... Jillian has a whole collection thats on Amazon for only $24.... its like 5 DVD's I think. Tell me if you like it!

Good morning! Yay C25K. I was up to week six when I needed to stop. I am looking forward to trying it again. Sounds like a good plan! I am so excited that this is your last semester! Hope you have a good week and a good start
I am going to try the C25K... I hope it works out for me. Last time I was really with it for 2 or 3 weeks and I didn't follow directions... (cuz I'm dumb)... and I got bad shin splints and couldn't walk properly for almost a week! I will try it again though!

I am in the middle of doing the 30 day shred. And trust me... it kicks HUGE ass. I don't think this DVD is meant for a total beginner... someone like me who is just totally unfit. But i will tell you that it is possible for a total beginner to do this. It is a lot to handle. I felt it after only 5 minutes! and even though it said not to take any breaks... I just can't handle that right now. I have paused it 3 times now... and I'm only 13 minutes into it! And I am not sure I can handle the rest. I was dumb and I haven't eaten yet today... and doing this intense workout... I am dizzy, and I am getting a really bad migraine. I am trying to hydrate myself, and then I am going to stop, and maybe take a shower. I will attempt it again tomorrow. Day 1- only 13 minutes completed. I did the warm up, one full circuit, and started on the second. I need to cool down and get some protein.
I have to admit to my fault of being lazy. I am FAR too lazy. I always want to give up, and just not bother trying. I need to figure out why. Because I was all motivated, and then after feeling this shitty after only 13 minutes is very discouraging... why do I want to give up??? I don't know. But I promise you all that I won't. I WILL NOT give up. I CANNOT give up. I just need a break right now.
