Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

...Gonna start running in the mornings starting WED...with my running partner. We made a deal. Now let's see if she sticks to it!...If all goes well, I'll start it tomorrow!

...gonna run on treadmill, or do Poweryoga tonight. & make chicken soup & sleep early! Hmm....I would love to be out of the 150's by the end of this week. Next Monday...149 !!! Help me Jesus!!! hahah...
 
I can't shake this SICKNESS!!!! ..now everyone at work is sick, and my bf is sick too and dying!!! It's all my fault. My little brother got me sick...and I can't shake it!!! I've tried everything!! UGGGG....my coughing, my throat...all I want to do is sleep. I haven't done exercise since Friday!!! Booooooooo
 
That sucks you are sick Alta - sending my love! Get plenty of rest and water, water, water! You can go back to smashing the fat once you are feeling yourself again - until then take care!:seeya:
 
Thanks woman!!! I had a horrible SNACK ATTACK last night....

2 smores...with dark chocolate (2 whole graham crakers briken in half each-1/3 dark chocolate bar)
4 marshmellows
1 cup of red wine
1 steak and 2 eggs
5 crackers
1 1/2 handful of Tostitos Scoops chips...
1 slice of ham


UGHHHHHHHHHH....I wasn't even HUNGRY!!!! ....I got annoyed after I stepped on the scale and it said ...I gained back to 158!!!!!!!!...WTF?!?!?...and I had been watching my food all week, though I didn't get to exercise!

...I was so annoyed I ate MOREEEEEEEEEEE and went RIGHT to bed on a full stomach!!!!
 
Ah! Don't weigh yourself at night Alta. You should do it once a week, in the morning when you wake up. Like on a Saturday, that's what I do.

If you weigh yourself too often it will trick you into thinking you've gained weight, when it's really only water weight that you put on. And thinking that you gained weight can make you feel terrible about yourself.

Stay positive. You're not 158 pounds, don't trust that scale. And keep running! The pounds will melt off!
 
I agree with Mike! My hunnie does the same thing and gets on the scale after dinner and says "I've gained 5 pounds" I tell him to wait till morning and step on again and sure enough he was the same! He didn't even use a scale until he met me, lol and now he's a little obsessed with it! He takes a pee and holler's "I've lost a pound"! Like a little kid and it really entertains me!
Don't worry Alta you are sick and your body is probably holding onto extra fluid - I'm sure your not back up to 158. Stay positive and as soon as your cold is gone you will be back to new! You got this so just keep looking at those thinspiration pics you got posted and imagine yourself there! Your going to look amazing at your grad so just focus on that - once your feeling better or course! until then water, water, water! Have a good relaxing and healthy weekend - take care of yourself!

You are SO RIGHT, Mike!!!...No more night time weigh ins!!! I didn't even realize that until you pointed it out right now, that it was @ night!

...I usually do weigh in the mornings only once a week! ...I was a big SCALE hater before and now I bought this stupid little scale with the needle that is so small that I have to PICK UP the scale after I weighed myself to almost SMASH IT INTO MY FACE..to see if I saw right and I catch myself SQUINTING like a mofo!!?!!?! HAHAHAHAH

....I bought that one...because it was a) cheap and b) because I didn't want HUGE digital numbers to SHOUT that poundage at me!!! hhahahahah...funny right. But yeah, it was fucking with me mentally!

...Morning once a week it is!!! Thanks buddy!!!

...I'm thinking of doing this 3 times a week FREE Bootcamp in the morning with my friend....it starts at 5:30 am ...OMG!!!!

Beyond me.....maybe because it cost $295 dollars and I had 3 friends doing it with me too...

Super annoyed @ my bf!

...Last weekend I asked him if he wanted to go run and do stairs in Santa Monica and he said : "NO!".... Last Monday his stupid friend asked him to go hike while I was at work and he said "YES!"...this Monday his stupid friend asked again...and he said "YES!"

...We used to go every Sat...routine...it's been years now that we don't. SO ANNOYED! FUCK HEAD!

....RUNNING starts for me : DAY 1 today! Hill run!!!....& I'm not jeapordizing my weekends anymore for his ass!...

..He apologized, but it doesn't mean shit!...It wasn't his true intentions..and it didn't come out of his heart. He can have his DICK TIME for all I care....My weekends are going to be dedicated to me and MY TRAINING!

...as it should be~!
 
"Giving means extending one's
Love with no conditions, no
expectations and no boundaries.

Peace of mind occurs, therefore
when we put all our attention
into giving and have no desire
to get anything from, or to
change, another person.

The giving motivation leads
to a sense of inner peace and joy
that is unrelated to time."

Gerald G. Jampolsky (Love is letting go of Fear)

I'm over it!!! hahaha

...Every time I get mad...I realize it's more mad at MYSELF because I didn't do the things that require focus on "ME". It's not his fault, it's my fault.

...He is a sweetheart! I love him to death!

...I was looking online,..and if we BOOK NOW..soon, we can book a 4 day cruise including air flight from La to Miami, FL for $310 total (and we can smuggle bottles of liquor on there) and it's all inclusive food and beverages!!! OMG..cheappppp!!!...to either Bahamas, or Carribean for November time!!!

...He said ..."YES!!!" ..that we should book this week!!! I'm excited!!! More motavation to get FIT!!!
 
YESSSSSS!!!!!...Feels good to be BACK TO RUNNING!!!!

...I loveeed my run yesterday. It's the course at the Top of the Reseda mountains where I ran my first 1/2 Marathon last year mid June. It was challenging, and I did a one hour run. It's funny though, how I have come FULL CIRCLE now...again...finding myself HERE 1 year later at the same weight, yet definitely more mentally strong after having ran a 1/2 marathon...& a FULL 26.2 mile Marathon in the year's time span!

...On the drive over yesterday,...I did feel a sense of FEAR of the mountain. Then I started thinking "Wait! What are you scarred of?!?! The mountain!?!? Or yourself not being able to PUSH yourself up the mountain and down?!?!".......I told myself...the mountain is JUST A MOUNTAIN..the fear doesn't stem from that, because You do not have to MOVE the entire mountain...you just have to MOVE YOURSELF. Then I told myself..."Where does Movement stem from anyway? Where does Action stem from?!?!....ACTION/MOVEMENT stems from the MIND!!!!...Anything the mind has done ONCE is a subconscious memory and what the MIND can do ONCE, the mind can create AGAIN!!!...Every action begins with Visualization...even if you haven't ever done it before and you can picture yourself DOING IT...then YOU CAN Physically DO IT!!...Because PHYSICAL ACTION stems from the MIND's ACTION. I told myself "You only have to move YOURSELF, and NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS PHYSICALLY, YOU CAN DO THIS IN YOUR MIND...so the PHYSICAL BODY WILL FOLLOW!"

...that's the truth. Action stems from the mind. The belief that we can DO IT!...That is what will "GAURANTEE" your success!...Because you tell yourself...no matter what my body does..."MY MIND WILL NOT FAIL ME! AND BECAUSE MY MIND WILL NOT FAIL ME, NEITHER WILL MY BODY, BECAUSE MY MIND COMMANDS MY PHYSICAL BODY TO DO WHAT MY MIND WANTS!

...period. So I got to the hill, and whipped it out. 1 hour of HUGE hill runs,..because my mind can do it. I went with my old running partner and it felt AMAZING!!!

...The wind was Splashing on my face, the assorted greens on the flowers and plants and trees were seeping out this amazing naturistic smell, the bright oranges and purples and pinks of the flowers looked fantastic with the contrast of the bright blue clouded sky behind it. The way the sun was melting into the horizon, and I could see all the houses of rich people in the wayside of the mountain. Precious. Classic.

...I really forgot how "ONE WITH NATURE and MYSELF" I can be when I am doing what I love! ...Because I LOVEEEE RUNNING!

...I truly decided that I am doing that FULL marathon in October. I am doing the 1/2 Marathon in June...and Not the Mind, Not the Body, nor the Spirit of Defeat in me or around me...will STOP ME!

...No way. Just this time....I will attain the results PERMANENTLY!

I had a session yesterday with my Hypnotherapist friend. We barter and exchange our services to each other. It's pretty funny. But all in all.....we each get our FREE hypnotherapy session for each other every Monday. I had a weight loss session yesterday and I am feeling CONFIDENT and MOTIVATED! We droppped in there 135lbs! 1250 cals...and FOOD is no longer LOVE in my life,...because I have love oozing from everywhere!

...We are going to continue working on each other...her for business success...until we are ROCK STARS!!! Got to love it!!! I'm speaking on a Panel of SUCCESS tonight for school. They are paying me as well...and I'm excited!!! It's such an honor!!! There are going to be like 80 Hypnotherapists there interviewing and questioning "HOW I BECAME SO SUCCESSFUL SO FAST!" ...and at least 450 other graduating Hypnotherapists with me in Sept. would have LOVED to be chosen as one of the 3 to speak on the panel!...wow!

...crazy huh!?!?! ...I think so. I dreamed it. Just didn't ever think it'd happen even before I completely graduate. Thank you God!!!
