Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

:smilielol5:...I DUNNO if I would WANT a TRI TIP STEAK at YOGA either!!!! ESPECIALLY when its THOSE CRAPPY hard days, maybe some things are BETTER left INDEPENDENT of each other! At first, I thought I WANTED my bf to join me, BUT NOW, I'm GLAD he has HIS OWN thing, LIKE...."GET YOUR OWN ACTIVITY"...LOL...not to mention....HE DOESN"T NEED to be going to see ALL The SKINNY people in there TO REALIZE how BIG I am COMPARED to them!!!

BUT YUP....I know the BIG BUCKS suck now too, $165 for a month here, so I figure WHAT would HAPPEN if I DID yoga 2x a DAY for 4 days out the week and CROSS train and EAT right, for A MONTH!!!!! :drool5:
 
haha, I hear ya. He seems to want to join me for my workouts since he thinks that will be one way to squeeze in more quality time together. But for me that doesn't seem to be the case...I'd rather him pick up me and take me to a really nice dinner or maybe a hike or something more intimate. I can't see him next to me in yoga when I'm dripping in sweat and struggling to keep my balance on one foot. lol geez...you are totally right...yoga is one thing that should be independent. haha It really is a personal thing.
 
LMAO at the thought of doing yoga around my man HAHA HAHA. OMG! too funny. My man is mad slim and doesn't do any exercise aside from the odd b-ball in the park so to even get him to an exercise class would literally cost a million dollars. Needless to say he finds my semi nude exercising on the elliptical amusing. Well shiat, sometimes it gets hot up in here so I strip off my shirt and ride that thing in my panties. But when he comes in the room I rush to throw on my tank top lest he see my jiggling stomach LOL.

Have lots of fun on the cruise. Cant wait to hear ALL ABOUT IT!!!!
 
I found ME AGAIN!!!!

BLANCITA and MY FAVORITE TWINS!!!! THANKS for KNOCKING the DUST off my DIARY.....MISSED YOU ALL!!!! ...................I"M BACK....................!!!!!!!!

THE CRUISE was the MOST AMAZING TIME :party: I HAD A BLAST~!!!!!

IT was a 3 day CRUISE from LONG BEACH,CA to ENSENADA, MX.....:biggrinjester:
SOoooo FUN...it was my first too and what a GREAT impression, comedy shows, vegas shows, buffets (I WAS SOOO GOOD!) room service, clubs, bars, live music, pools, spa...OH MANNN..FUN!!!....We went on CARNIVAL and when we ported in ENSENADA.....it was so FUN....we RODE HORSES on the BEACH....suppper fassst:gnorsi:...and we rented ATVs and ATV RHINOS and rode LIKE crazzzzy alonside the WATER...the WEATHER was perfect and I COULDN"T asked for MORE....we were DRUNK most of the time too...so that ELEVATED the FUN tooooo ;) but YES....I was sad :( we when got back HOME on MONDAY!!!

I even felt like I HAD NOTHING to work HARD towards anymore health wise.....I was feeling DOWN and NOT like working OUT for a couple days.....I got back on MONDAY...didn't work out, just LAZY, TUESDAY came, ....same story....lack of motivation, laziness, and WHAT THE HELLL IS HAPPENING TO MEEEEE?!?! :banghead:....YESTERDAY came tooo.....STILLLLLL in a SLUMP.!!!! HELP!!!!

............THEN TODAY!!!!! :party:......I WOKE UP LIKE A NEW PERSON!!!!.......
GOD heard my REQUEST and INJECTED me with SOME of that GOOD GOLD MOTIVATION :beating:......I realized that I have been FEELING out of it BECAUSE I had NO MORE GOALS left....so I DECIDED that I have to start NEW GOALS....my knee is feeling better, and after reading through a post from MELISSA I realized that I too have lost, the REAL REASONS that I wanted to LOOSE weight and I REMEMBER that I HAD like 29 REAL reasons on the list that I originally made, and I AM GOING TO DO IT AGAIN, and KEEP IT WITH ME......this time.....I was FEELING SO HAPPY when I was working towards REAL GOALS that meant more to me than the exterior, and I WANT THAT BACK!!! SO I am going to start training ALL OVER again for a 1/2 MARATHON...which one I DON"T know yet...but SOON!!!

I have been eating SMALL portions ...no problem...with no real DAMAGE foods....but I am GOING back to CLEAN STYLE again....meaning ELIMINATING the ALCOHOL during the week...I've been STUCK on VACATION MODE...I just don't want it to END for some REASON!!!?!?! lol...gee WONDER WHY?!?! NO one ever WANTTTTS to end FUN!!!

BUT we had soooo much fun on the CRUISE....:party: we are planning another one SEPT. 4-8-------4 day cruise------leaving from MIAMI, FL going to KEY WEST,FL (parasailing, jet boat riding, bike tour planned to do there) off to SEA, and then to COZUMEL,MX to ride horses and rent ATVs/RHINOS along side the beach.....AMAZING!!!.....and back to MIAMI,FL and then FLY back home....all for a WHOPPING $600.00 with round trip air!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE that!!?! CHEAP huh!!! WELL I"M EXCITED again!!!!!! SO BACK TO HARD work....cause HARD WORK deserves HARD PLAY......!!!!!! :gnorsi:

Starting TODAY: 4.5 mile run @ PARK....then off to the GYM at NIGHT!!!!

Hey girl, so glad you had a good time on the cruise! You've been training really hard for a while now, so its honestly not a problem to take the whole week off. You deserve it! Good for you on the food too, I was also good for the first few days of my holiday but today I keep grazing and eating more and more stuff! Gosh I wish I could just STOP! OK, after these three more hershey's kisses hehe.

What's a cruise but a few days in your life in front of stranges. Nah, you will get motivated once again when you're around your friends at the summer parties and you're getting all those compliments again. That's definitely more motivating than being among a bunch of chubbettes on the cruises. I've never taken one either but when I used to live in Bermuda several boats would dock there every week and you'd always see tons of very overweight people who apparently liked all the continuous food and buffets HAHA.

I'm trying to decide between a cruise, visiting my husband's relatives in Puerto Rico or going to a resort in the Dominican Republic for my next trip in August or Sept. Where'd you find that $600 deal ??!
 
WELL.....I"VE been to PUERTO RICO and I LOVE it there too...but THE CRUISE was AMAZING fun...more than any other TRIP I'd say....probably cause everything was SOOO accessible.....2 minute walk.....:)

THE CRUISE....carnival.com $299 and the air--cheaptickets.com for round trip $304 including taxes...!!! CHEAP huh!!! I KNOW...I had checked other dates and they were way more expensive....almost double....but some travel agent work got me there!!! I'm booking asap!!!...AND I hope to rank up other friends to go too...IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!
 
Girl, I am so glad that I could motivate you. I've motivated myself to! That is what is great about this forum...we get to lean on each other and feed off of one another's success and motivation.

Seriously either find that list or make a new one. I still have a lot of work to do on mine...I have a feeling it will be a life long work in progress. We have to keep reminding ourselves why it is that we want our bodies to be healthy. For me it is all about being active and doing the things that I want to do. Like running, yoga, scuba diving, snowboarding, swimming...all those things are difficult to do w/extra pounds on me. I want to be able to just be spontaneous and plan a little excursion and actually have all my gear fit! Right now it's a little scary...my snow clothes are all too tight, my wet suit is tight...uggghh

Well no more! Today is a new me...time to put my health at the top of my priority list.
 
Alta! You're back. Good to see ya. I think I went on the same cruise in 2006. The midnight taco bar took me down a few times. Did you see La Bufadora? We did when we were there. I didn't know you could horseback ride, how fun!!

How did today go? Did you get your run in?
 
Glad to see you're back girl. Your vacation sounds wonderful, I'm glad you had such a good time. MJB and I are going to Big Bear the end of the month for vacation. Can't wait.

So you were a little down when you came back tho huh? Understandable. No one wants the good times to end but we all have to come back to reality at some point right? Well it sounds like you're back on track and doing great. Keep it up!
 
Wow, that IS a damn good deal..I can't wait to try a cruise now. Where did you stay in PR? I visited 2 friends' families in Vega Alta and also stayed at the Marriot on the beach in San Juan. I have a friend in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands that I used to visit once a year, and I'd fly through PR to get there too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Caribbean and try to go at least once a year. How'd you stake out cheap dates for the cruise? Just kept plugging in different dates? I must start planning now after your description :).

OMG you SHOOOOULD start PLANNING!!! I was never really big on the planning EARLY before...I'm more SPONTANEOUS.....but NOW that I see the tons of money PROPER planning can SAVE......I"M all FOR IT!!!! :party:......BUT as for PUERTO RICO.....my grandma and grandpa used to be stationed there while he was in the navy, so me and my brother were LUCKY enough to be able to SPENT ALL summers with them since we were babies up until some years back, WHEREVER they TRAVELED for free, and WHEREVER was the NEW place they stationed them.....so in PUERTO RICO we actually spend like 3 or 4 WHOLE summers there....in SABANA SECA on base, near SAN JUAN and we would go EVERYWHERE around there.....GREAT TIMES....REALLY GREAT TIMES!!! BUT YOU'll HAVE a BLAST!!! YOU are so LUCKY you have ALL those friends to VISIT......I HAVE a friend who is ALWAYS moving ALL AROUND the world, and I love it cause SHE ALWAYS invites me to go visit, though most of the time...OBLIGATIONS don't LET ME...:(....but hey....CAN"T win em ALL!!! :)

LOL ....but it really was FUN~!!!

I have BAD NEWS to report....STILL NO EXERCISE.....eating somewhat HEALTHY....the funny part is that though I am still eating somewhat HEALTHY I am STILL GUILTY because I am incorporating TOO MANY CHEATS, TOO MUCH ALCOHOL, NO EXERCISE, and ALL THE foods that I was BEING WAY strict on THOUGH mind you THEY are still low cal, low fat foods......GUILT and I HATE it!!!!!

I figure TODAY is the last day....not to mention.....I"M LETHARGIC with these foods...so they got to go.....but I NEEDED a GIRL DAY today....and after work I"M gonna meet a few girlfriends and GO CATCH a movie.......SEX IN THE CITY..........since I DID catch up with all the TEVO series available.....!!! :smilielol5: DIDN"T ever think I would be an ADDICT after 20 episodes at HOME!!!! SO the only exercise I got this week was LIFTING the REMOTE!!!! :(

Tomorrow.........FAITH LIVES..........

YOU are right YOU AMAZING MOTIVATOR!!! ALL of EVERYONE here is SO GREAT and I love how I AM ABLE TO learn so much about our MOTIVATIONS and our FEELINGS toward them!!! IF it wasn't for you guys here....I KNOW....that I probably would have LOST myself a minute ago......IT's just HORRIBLE when you SEE a little SUCCESS and then YOU TRY and sabotage your OWN hard WORK....WHY.....WHY......and then THERE COMES that LIST....those DEEPER EMOTIONS....and I KNoooooooW why!@!! BUT I forget sometimes!!!

TOMORROW I plan to be back on track......I WILL NOT LET ME STAY DOWN IN A SLUMP ANY MORE!!!!!! FAITH......and HELP both NEEDED!!!!
 
This is your week to take back control girl! I know how it is when you want to take a break from the cardio. You're on a roll, don't stop now! Today is a whole new day with all new choices. I believe in you, you can rock it this week!! Go girl!
 
Alta, did you start off on the right foot today? If not, why? Time to rejoin us. :)

Did you watch Sex in the City? I watched it last night with my sis and Lotstoloselee. It was AWESOME...totally loved it.

Let me know when you are ready to start up your running program again. And let me know which event you are going to sign up for. You might want to try to find a 6 miler to start and then work your way up. Or do like I did and pick a 1/2 marathon a few months out and let the training begin. Good luck to you!!
