[Alta818]

Wow, just stopped by your diary and it's impressive!!!

I like the way you record what exercise you've done during the week in a post like that.... I might try that and see if it encourages me to do more in the way of exercise.

And your determination puts me to shame, lol.

...Thank you so much for stopping by!!!...I am humbled again that you think I'm inspiring!! ...

...I tell you...writing your workouts down like that and NOT missing a day, makes you realize that EVERYDAY we should do something....kinda like walking the dog...JUST WE ARE THE DOG!! !!!...You should give it a try!!...

...helps me with accountability and Guilt for not MOVING more!..and having so many RED days there....ugggghhh!!!

I finally weighed in & made it to the gym!!!! :d!!!

So I finally faced the TRUTH!...again...159lbs!

...I went to the Sauna @ the Gym last night after class. I did 30 mins. & Yoga moves in there with my arm bands that make you sweat more & went home and did 15 mins on my Stationary Bike with 3- 30 second Sprint intervals mixed in there (TONS OF SWEAT!)

!..I weighed in....and decided that it's OKAY......I am 10 lbs heavier..and it's OKAY!...I forgive myself because I will not stop the fight!!! ...(not to mention for all the crap I ate...I should be at 170lbs!!!)....fakkk dat!

...My new book is giving me new found confidence and a feeling of Control...that I felt I had lost there for a minute!...and I'm glad it's back. The eating of the whole story is REALLY REALLY the key to this as success, with consistent working out & writing it all down, which I have this handy dandy EXCEL sheet for, yet I like to duplicate a lot of it here as well for an online record!!...I can do that!!!!!!!!...

...I have decided to try and Keep my body Guessing....meaning ...vary my foods throughout the week so that I am not eating the same things day after day, as well as do more HIIT in my workouts and vary them, which should be easy since I have EVERY video out there..hahahah

...It's funny how you think that a new video or infomercial may hold the "SECRET KEY" to weight loss....and then you find yourself "WANTING" that new product like crazy...and you buy it...(I mean...I buy it...)...and I realize it's the same as the rest....& after ALL THIS BUYING of DVD'S & shit.....the secret...here it comes...hold on........is............:DOING!!! !

....nothing changes unless we "DO IT & DO IT Consistently!"


...I mean DUH...right!!?!?!....you would think that the entire Nation would have figured this out right...?!!?!?.....but...NAH...we didn't!!! hahahah!!!.......and we will Continue to buy the NEXT weight loss/ Fitness Products/ Dvd's to collect dust out there...cause it might hold the real SECRET !

[Alta818]

....so this is a really SHITTY EXCUSE...but yesterday as I got home after work...I had plans for my one hour between work and school, meaning I have ONE HOUR to do my workouts ..jam into the shower..and go to school.

....I Really REALLY have no idea why I was so tired, and I sat down on the bed with my running shoes in hand, my workout clothes in the other hand...and the next thing you know...I wake up and it's 7:00 pm ...FAKKKKKKKKK....!!!! How the hell did I fall asleep?!?!... and now I missed my class that is 30 mins. away and that starts at 7:00pm and since it's live case studies clients that come in for free hypnosis there are no late exceptions! FAKKKKK!!!!

....so I was mad at myself.... and then I woke up and told my bf "DAMN BABE...thanks for waking me up!" as he is playing with his teenage brother video games or something knowing that I have class @ shit to do...he just let me sleep on by...and didn't say shit!!!.........then...what pissed me off was that while his brother is on the computer in the room with us he says..."SHIT!! THAT AIN'T MY FREAKIN RESPONSIBILITY!!! UGGGGGG.....!!! !! ...

...and the way he said it pissed me off ontop!!!..... he's right though...IT's MY RESPONSIBILITY!!! ...but none the less....the way he said it was ANNOYING...and the fact that the day before I was working out and super thirtsy and there was only a smidge of COLD WATER in the fridge.....and as I'm going to get it to drink it...he beats me to it not really knowing that I was going to drink it ...though seeing me sweat like a cow....POURS IT INTO THE DOG'S BOWL!! GRRRR and as I tell him "Babe, I was thirsty..."...he continues pouring the last bit and says....."So!?! What do you want me to do about it now?!?!"]............GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

....So I was so annoyed that 2 days in a row he said some smart ass comment,...which REALLY annoys me cause he is always such a sweetheart with me!! ....so for him to give me smart ass remarks two days in a row PISSED ME OFF!!!...

...and after that...I just ignored him....went onto read...and was still boiling inside...and I decided that I didn't want to work out with them there, and I called my girlfriend and went to her house, and we decided to go to the corner bar and have 2 beers and 2 shots watching the football game...

....I KNOW I SHOULDN'T SELF SABOTAGE MYSELF CAUSE OF ANYONE, EVEN MYSELF...yet it happened...and I didn't work out...& today I feel guilty for yesterday...but glad that I was able to stop the self sabotage there...and went home and ate a small one cup of whole wheat pasta and STOPPED THERE!... !!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh boy Alta. I thought I was hard on myself!! Thank you honey for coming over to my diary & being so absolutely lovely. You made me laugh as well as cry. I feel more like a wombat than your koala at the moment but am feeling much better about myself. You are much harder on yourself as you set the bar much higher than I do. You are such a lovable, kind & funny person. Your personality shines through in your diary. You have been such an inspiration to me, have encouraged me all along the way &, you too, let it all out in your diary. Just remember your strengths too Alta my friend. Yours are many! I really value your friendship & hold it dear to my heart. Remember to be kind to yourself as well as others. Sending you lots of love Alta, xoxo Cate

 

[Cord the Seeker]

Alta, I want to thank you for all that you said when you popped into my journal.
You're so positive and inspiring that you could make anyone feel like a superhero!

Now, if only you could take more of that positive energy and use it on yourself... you are such an amazing person, you don't need to be quite so hard on yourself.

Take care!

 

[Heyitsmike]

Hi Alta-

I hope you're able to get back on track! Your marathon is coming up soon, and you should get at least one 20 mile run in before that just to test yourself.

I have a marathon on Oct 11th as well! Aren't you excited about the race!!!?

 

[Derrick]

Hi Alta. Thanks for stopping by my journal. Do you typically eat very light at breakfast? What about lunch? Finally, is dinner usually your hardest meal to eat right? I was thinking your breakfast looked very light. When I was losing all of my weight last year and earlier this year, I was making sure I had a decent sized breakfast and lunch. It made it easier to eat right at dinner time. Just a thought.

Get back on track girl! You have only one month to go. Make it your best month yet! You can totally do this. Come on now, time to get super duper serial!

 

[lilmiss_independant]

Hey Alta,
Wow your meal plan looks AMAZING! lol makes me realize, what kinda crap I eat .... I barely have any time to cook .... but tommorow I'm cooking a meal for 10 people (god knows what I'm making) so that should be interesting.

Best of luck on your marathon!! =) Get plenty of running practise done! YOU CAN DO IT! hhaha I wud love to run a marathon myself, but running isnt my best sport. I can do cardio for hours, but I cant run all that well lol, I get so tired and breathless. I think I dont breathe right or something!!

[Alta818]

Yesterday I headed to the Professional Running Store and I bought some of those COOL sweat soaking up socks - buy 3 get one free but they are kinda pricey $8-9 dollars each and I bought some goup gel for my long run this weekend and some electrolyte thing to put in your drink and I bought the belt that carries the 4 little water jugs for $38 dollars and you can carry goup for the long run.

... I swear me & the mornings just don't mix :-( I tried to get up early but it doesn't work since I go to be so damn late like at 1:30 am doing all the crap I need to after work and school....So tonight after school...I guess I have to do it...NIGHT RUNS...I am not going to let this schedule not allow me to get these damn runs in!!!...I HAVEEEE TO!!!!

Sunday I am meeting with my NEW running partner that I haven't met yet.. I met her on meetup.com and she is SUPER nice and we email and text and I spoke to her a couple days ago!

She is excited too & we decided to do this Run together in November some CRAZY hill run she found for us that is STRAIGHT incline for like an 18-19 miler. She is intimidated and SO AM I...sounds like a challenge!! So that is exciting as well!!!

We both are in much need of encouragement and someone counting on you for long runs...and decided to mix it up with the running group runs from time to time! Should be fun!!!----

Other than that...I am trying to make these extra hours at school work for me and try to catch a video conference before my actual class to try and make some of my elective hours and not leave them for the last minute, so I can't seem to workout between after work and before class anymore during the week...booo, yet time is really cracking down and within a one month period I start my clinical residency and start seeing clients in my OWN Hypnotherapy office!!! YAY!!!!!!....

To help myself a bit as well,.... I have been recording for myself some nice weight loss and general well being "Hypnosis Suggestions" on my phone at night and listen to them in coordination to some relaxing music and drift off into my sleep"...I plan to change them 2-3 times a week so that I can benefit from some new suggestions to my subconscious mind as well as to build confidence in myself and to gain control over my behaviors.

Also,...I chose my personal mentor and Hypnotherapist for myself this past week, she is Purely amazing and I am really excited and she has about 20 years experience in the industry and is VERYYYY successful and has an aura that is amazing and I am in the process of getting approval and should start MY OWN hypnotherapy sessions with her within a week at max two I beleive.

Hmmm... I wonder what I should work on first.....Confidence?! Running Marathon?!?! Being a successful hypnotherapist?! Weight Loss (which is hard and has a 5-10% success rate cause it is 95% emotional and it's hard to go through and break down each and every defense mechanism we place to protect the status quo-YET does work for a lot of people!), Consistency!?!? Organization!?!? Procrastination?!?! Self Sabotage?!!? Tardiness?!?!?!...Hmmmm....so much to work on on the INSIDE of me....!!! hahah

 

[Alta818]

Just reading through journals here is so inspiring!!!! It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Go figure...happy because it can be done...and sad because I haven't done it yet. When is this weight gonna fall off already so I can just be a trim athlete!!?!?!!? I have decided one of the contributing factors to holding me back is that :

I do not own a scale!!!!! I never wanted one, but not having one has allowed me more "free" days than I can really afford, and not knowing how much you weigh makes it that much easier to excuse "SLACKING!" .

...I feel happy and frustrated like crazy right now!!!!!! !

...I met up with my little brother "OLYMPIC RUNNER" brother that is..(he really was in the Junior Olympics for running! Crazy huh!?!)...he is 21 and he said that on Sat. He will do my 16-20 mile training run with me. He said that he is scarred of the Marathon for me!!! !!! He believes in me so much and said that I really need to push myself...and that sometimes..."A COACH IS NEEDED!"

....he hasn't been running lately...yet is just a CHAMPION with a six pack like that and could beat me at anything I do by a million times in the running world...just cause he has the most FOCUS of anyone I have seen in my life. He sets a goal and doesn't take his eye off the target and & BAM ...DoNe ...aquired...completed...NEW GOAL!!!! !!!....lucky bastard!!!!!

...He is one of my running inspirations!!!....so this weekend...I am moving my class so that I can squeeze that run in!!!...I just might do the full 20 miles which I hope to do in 4 hours to 4 1/2...since this GUILT and DESIRE to run like the wind is WEIGHING ME DOWN!!!!!!!

 

[bmohearn]

You are very inspirational yourself, alta. I would love to run too. I'm definitely not in the shape to do it. And I seriously messed up my back recently which hurts when I over-exert it. I want to be as focused as your brother. I need to be that focused... on something. lol.
