Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

Thanks girl! I'll update later today. :)


Weigh in said, 165.4 today. I have been tiltering at 167.8 for the past week, so it's nice to see. OFFICIAL weigh in last week said, 166.8. Still a loss!

Not bad considering I cracked down on my eating since only the other day. This week, the goal is to work HARD, eat right, and smash 3 lbs!!
 
Hi Alta! Good to see you are holding steady at 165. In my opinion, it is good news. Holding at a certain number, or there about, can come right before another nice drop in weight. I know we've discussed that before but just keep believing in yourself and keeping that positive attitude!

Oh yeah!!! High five!!! :)

Now, pat yourself on the back. Smile at yourself in the mirror. Maybe even blow yourself a kiss. Then forget about it and keep on heading towards your goals and dreams. And don't let a rise in weight scare you. You will probably float around 162 to 165 for a bit before another drop. Just hang in there and keep doing what you do best, work hard!

Congrats Alta! Soon you will be in the 150's again! :)
 
Yayyy! congrats on more loss :D I think ya need to start doing live web posts (or whatever ya wanna call em :rolleyes: ) and make it a group therapy type of thing- you're just that amazing!
 
Hi guys! :grouphug:! Funny you say that Jess, cause I bought a WEB CAM yesterday!!! :jump:!! I think I will take you up on your offer!! I can record them, now I would just have to figure out how the hell to post them, and where?! ...:( I don't think they fit here. HAHA!! I think that might really motivate me more! This week has been full of outings. Everyone and their mom has called me, resulting in drinks. Again, tonight too. Still working out hard though. :) Just happy!

Updated today :

Love you guys! If someone could give me ideas on all this web bloffing video stuff..WHEW! I'd love it!! <3 Thanks!

Congrats on the weight loss Alta. I find your attitude to it all so motivating! I'd definitely tune into your online videos!

My favourite is "Let the fat jiggle! Fuck the fat!", because if you don't get jiggling, it ain't gonna go!!!!!
 
Triathalon time!!!!

Thanks guys!!! :grouphug:!! After that one weigh in my weight has been ALL OVER THE SCALE!! I got my T.O.M. and drinks last week, and BAM 169!!! Ugg...this morning though, I was back to 166.8! AGAIN!! I laid off the drinks this past weekend, and am laying off them completely for a while!

...Reason being...I'm in TRIATHALON TRAINING!!! WOOOP WOOOOP!!!! I can't WAIT!! 6-26-11 :reddevil: YOU ARE MINE! OLYPMIC DISTANCE RELAY!!! I'm so excited!! :jump:!! I had a breakdown last week and started crying after our training session with the trainer last week. Mainly because the scale was fucking with my mind! I went from 166.8 for 4 weeks, and then to 162.8 on Friday, to six days later 169!!! WTF!!! I started crying. I was telling him of how this has been a lifelong struggle. That though I am not morbidly obese, it sure as fuck feels like it sometimes! I went on with a rant of how I am goal orientated that has BIGGER MEANING in life than weight loss! The 26.2 Mile Marathon I ran in Oct 2009 was for HEALTH & APPRECIATION!! And that now, since all this p90x and his bootcamp...that the only evident goal has been WEIGHT LOSS & it SUCKS!!

It sucks because I love to workout! When I think about working out in a weight loss fashion, I begin to resent it if I do it without any significant results. (though I do see some). Still. Not enough. It's not the 120 pounds that my mind would love to see. I told him that my dream would be to do a TRIATHALON!!! That training for a marathon was ok, because it's a solo sport, yet the world of TRIATHLETES is very intimidating!

I don't really know shit about riding a bike. I don't know much about swimming in the ocean. I swim in pools. I've had crazy ocean wipe outs before where I almost died I felt. The ocean is crazy. It's attainable though! I'm going to do it!! Fuck yea I am!! I feel that I'm ready! I need a BIGGER CHALLENGE!! It's intimidating. I still don't know how my body will shift to transition of water, to running, to biking. So the race is 26 mile or something bike, 1 mile swim, and 6 mile run I believe. Damn!

I asked my boyfriend (also, so he won't feel left out of my fitness area of life) if since he had 2 mountain bikes, that we could start training on Sundays together and bike crazy hills!~ He said..:Sure, babe! I told him he could also, tan his sexy ass body too. Cause he is SCARRY white right now on some parts of the body. hahah! Casper! We had a great weekend together too! Did tons of new stuff, and am really feeling the love. :beating:

On another note, so the trainer was being VERY SUPPORTIVE of me, and said, "FUCK IT! LET'S DO IT! TRIATHALON TIME!!" So we are. Me, him, his brother (he does traithalons and the trainer has done one). I'm really excited because like I said, the traithalon world is intimidating for a single girl to wedge her way in. If you feel me!? But with two men backing me, even just in spirit & training, = THAT IS ALL I NEED!!!

This time around though, I feel competitive!! I want to be GREAT! The trainer told me to start Spinning at the gym 2 times a week before our morning workouts! FUCK! That means be up at 5:45 to spin for an hour, then get my ass beat by him for an hour, then somehow find time to do p90x for an hour at night, and my NEW SLIM IN 6 WEEKS program for an hour at night too!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Can she do it!???? I have no idea. Can my mind do it?! HELL YES!!! I am STRONGER, AND MORE DRIVEN than MOST PEOPLE I KNOW WHEN I SHIFT INTO THAT MODE. See, what I have noticed that is my edge, is that other people have SPEED, AGILITY, TALENT, STRENGTH, THIS AND THAT....but what I have is POWERFUL TOO,....I have HEART!!! :beating: I have HEART FOR LIFETIMES!!! I PUT MY HEART INTO KNOWING I CAN DO IT!!! THAT'S ALL! ..that's the difference.

I have a Lance Armstrong in me. Because I choose to have him there and see it there, and feel it in my blood, and TAKE IT FOR MY REALITY! He is I, and I am him!! HIM IS GOD! And we all have LANCE ARMSTRONGS in us, because WE CAN!!!

Even when I ran the marathon, there are people with NO LEGS running it. Now, you tell me, that we don't all have Lance Armstrong in us..... That's GOD! No other. :jump:

My eating this week and from now on will be SPOT ON. Alcohol will be a distant memory, if not maybe only for ONE MEAL of the week. The trainer now wants to start KILLING me for training, and I need to be READY for him and ready for MY OWN KILLING TRAINING! I feel FOCUSED!!! EXCITED & INVIGORATED!!! Something I never ever would have thought I would be doing. Dreamt of it. But doing it? Wow. I've come a long way....

That's me now, Bitches! ;) :smilielol5:! Taking CONTROL!

Also, have been doing video web blog logs, but just keeping them on my computer. We'll see how I transform....

Teaching a 2 hour SELF HYPNOSIS class tonight, and now I really want to focus on attracting TONS of WEIGHT LOSS clients!! They help me focus more, because I start leading by example. Just do!
 
Alta, your enthusiasm just blows me away!

We'll be here cheering you on as you train and COMPETE in that triathalon! You'll do awesome!!!
 
Woo Hoo!! Go Alta!! Once again woman you are leading by example. Do yourself a favour sweets & put those scales away for a while- they mess with your mind too much. If you didn't know what you weighed you would probably eat better anyway as you would be too scared to eat rubbish, just in case. Just a thought. Your body will become lean with all this training. Your weight may not be going down lots but I bet you will become a lean mean, triathlon machine. Go Alta! I'll be cheering for you from Aus! xoxo Cate
 
Thanks ladies!

~New things on my mind~

-Trainer is weighing us now, Friday and Mond.
-Tomorrow weigh in
-The drinking desire has dissipated
-I am feeling more accountable now
-I am really LOVING working out
-I feel compelled to smash more because of my clients
-I am feeling focused on training.
-Been exercising 2-3 hours daily consistently.
-My eating has been better portioned this week.
-My weekend wasn't as shitty as usual on food.
-I'm serious about moving my body.
-I love challenging my mind to do more.
-My mind moves my body.
-Feeling like I'm just playing when I exercise.
-Making up for lost years.
-Finding the child within.
-I want this.
-More than anything, I am motivated by follow through. To know I can start what I finish. Anything. A book. A triathalon. A marathon. Marketing. A career. My journey. My whatever!

I am doing bootcamp 1 hr-mon-friday
p90x -1 hour daily
Slim in 6 -both beachbody products-(they amount to a shit load of hours of working out.)

I am loving it! I cant wait to see the results of eating more justified portions will be like. Weekends were messing me up. I really want to minimize that to one meal!
Once the eating stays spot on, then I'll be set. The tricky here for me where I constantly allow extras is because I am after the happy medium. What can I really do for the rest of my life. I'm sick of the massive weight loss and gains fucking with my life, so I decide to go slow, and steady. Something that I really CAN do forever as far as eating.
:D
 
Hey Alta,
I love readng your posts - they are great!
Love your list - and I have the same feelings about following through. Consistancy is the hardest thing about weight loss sometimes... well definitely for me anyway lol.
Great job on the bottcamp and everything :) you're making me feel like such a slacker :blush5:

I just wrote almost the exact same thing in my journal - great minds think alike. Loving being back here and being able to find motivation in you every day. I love your spirit and missed it - don't ever give that up.
So awesome you are training for a triathalon!! I'm so proud you are giving it your all! I'd like to one day but not this year - this year is all about being healthy and trying for a family. Just being the best I can be all around. It will be great to have you training though because it will keep me motivated with my workouts. Please make sure you tell us all about it!
I need to get my eating back on track too so let's do it together! Moderation and clean eating will be key! Good to be back and so happy to see things are going great in your life - keep it up!!!
 
Thank you, Jess! Tell me about it. Consistency is hard! Especially with eating.

Lisa! So glad you are back. I was thinking of you on my drive back from bootcamp, and was admiring how focused you are with your eating. That's the key! I am gona follow suit. I want to be in the 140's BAD! :drool5:!! Finding a balance we can live with. I'm SO PROUD of you!!! Inspired by you! Happy for you!!

The scale said 165.4 from 166.8 on Monday and Tuesday. Gonna focus this weekend, and eat clean. Alcohol will be gone. No desire. I'm sick of working so hard, to see NOTHING happen. Practically nothing.

I am swinging 44lb kettle bells now though! I am cranking out sets of 50 pushups & a ton of them too! Ran 4.5 miles HILL run to the Hollywood sign two days ago, and will find a spinning class that I can join. DEAR LORD, can you just wash away the pounds so that I can train without THINKING about weight anymore. Ahhhh! :D! All in all. Something is something. I'm happy. Kinda. LOL!
