If You Fail Try Again...

So this hasn't been the best week, I have done next to no exercise and my eating hasnt been the greatest. By not the greatest I mean that Im not really eating...Horrible horrible I know. I havent had a day off in awhile, cant wait til sunday so i can have off. Works crazy right now and when Im there Im so busy cookin that I dont have time to pee let alone make something to eat quick for myself. This shall be changing. I need to eat before work or something.

OK need to pop in a movie or something and get on that darn elliptical. I need to win again this week just to show everyone I CAN DO THIS! :)

Talk to you all in a while.
 
Ok did my elliptical for 25 minutes. Realized now that I gotta get my tool box out and tighten up the screws on there, the neck of the machine is really loose so it creaks when im on it. I guess it doesnt help that I put it together with a monkey wrench when I bought it so they werent tight at all lol. I didnt have any real tools then :) . OK well time to relax and read this book that I found at work today.... The Fit or Fat Woman.
Night all.

Hi thanks for stopping by! Just went through the diary. Sounds like you have a good plan going here. Besides, how can I not like a woman who uses a strip tease fitness video? LOL

I'll be back!

Not sure if thats a promise or a threat yet. Maybe just fair warning.
 
oh...stalker?? hmm sounds like it could be fun lol....

Anyway quick update, Im starting to get alittle ill, the weather has been fluctuating alot lately, 2 days ago it was like 70 and today it was 30..yea NOT FUN! I hate the cold! But my weigh in day is tomorrow and I am only hoping for about a 2 lb weight loss...the first week i know was mostly water and I did not do exercise like i did the first week with my gym membership being taken away and all. So Im not hoping for alot but just alittle something. Goal for tomorrow is also to wake up early and workout before work so I can maybe squeeze a few more ounces off :)
See you all tomorrow.
 
Sounds like new england weather fluctuations. It does the same crap here. Hope you feel better and that your weigh in goes well.
 
Good luck with the weigh-in and I hope you start feeling better, my love! *sends a box of tissues your way*
 
haha, a harmless stalker is always the best kind of stalker i say :newangel:

Anyways as for todays weigh in....I did not lose nor gain....this week i shall be kickin some butt though, i can feel it! cuz even though the scale didnt move ive been trackin my inches and im losing inches...so the scale has to catch up with me :)
 
losing inches > lbs any day. It is hard to lose the scale mentality though.

I'll do my best to kick ass with you!
 
Well its been a couple days, so just an update....
Eating is going excellent, workouts are going pretty good, deffiently getting my gym membership back, my elliptical is a piece of junk. Im still slightly under the weather but more than anything it just feels like body aches and a slight runny nose. Got a couple stressors in my life popping in. But its all good, just need to turn the negative into fuel for my workouts. Sorry im rambling I only got about 3 hours of sleep and yea, think im going to try to get a bit more here. Talk to you all later.
 
weigh in is tomorrow..not real thrilled but next week will be better. Im going to go get my gym membership back tomorrow afternoon before work so im hoping to get 2 gym sessions in tomorrow. (one before work and one after)

alot of the girls at work are really encouraging me with my weightloss. I started wearing my hair back(which I NEVER do) and they came up with wanting to give me a makeover. I said how about when I hit my 1/2 way goal(-37.5lbs/192.5lbs). But I wanted this to be yet again another challenge, so I made them set me a date. So I have to hit my 1/2 way goal weight by March 31st. That gives me 16 weeks. Seems like a long time and yet a short time.....We shall see how I do!

oh p.s. im going to try to go to bed by 2am at the latest from now on. I have trouble sleeping so im going to try to get into a new routine and see how i feel.(been falling asleep around 4am and waking up at 8am all this last week)..... Almost 2...better be gettin settled!! Night!

Heyas, sounds like you're doing good. I work nights, so I can understand the problem sleeping. You definitely have to keep to a schedule. If I alter mine slightly Its horrible on my sleep.

Your gym has tanning bed? and is only 35/month? Thats like an awesome deal. I wouldnt use a tanning bed, but my membership with a student discount is 15 more and we dont even get a sauna.
 
Hey Ashley, popping in to say hi! That's great that people around you are being so supportive. Not everyone runs into that. Can't count the number of times I've read on here about saboteurs...

Hope you got some sleep. I'm with Jeff, I'm a night shifter (21 years) sleep patterns are so easy to screw up, and once you're tired...

Keeping my fingers crossed for your next date with the scale!
 
Hey Jeff- Yea we have a tanning bed, a regular membership is 35/month and then to add tanning is an extra 15/month i believe. For roommates to sign up together is 24.95/month. I was going to sign up with a friend today and say we were roommates cuz she wants to go with me but she still hasnt returned my phone call from this morning so i dont think she'll be going with me. Oh well i guess ill pay for the normal membership.

gettin ready to go to the gym now. and then to work. wish me luck on my weigh in! not a real change on the scale this week(on my home scale) so far so im hoping to get a good sweat in before work.

oh yea its going To be a whole 20something degrees today...yay,... not. i think its time to buy a thicker coat. :) see ya'll after work!
 
5 LBS LOST THIS WEEK!!!!
And I was worried about weighing in :)

Worked my butt off at the gym before work, wanted to go after work but I was just exhausted and figured 1 workout for the day was good. At least I worked out right?.....

13 lbs down 24.5 to go until my makeover!!!
 
Thanks Cab-
Im really hoping that it continues to come off at this pace for awhile. Last year when I was losing I got stuck at 180 and wouldnt budge...ahh to be 180 again haha... But I now know way more than then so I know what I have to reconfigure to get going again when I hit that awful spot.
 
5 POUNDS! I'm so jealous :) Great job, you deserve it! I agree with karl on the support- I have toooo many friends that just kinda think that one day here and there isn't a big deal to pig out, so I quit hanging out with them, lol. :rolleyes: Have a great day tomorrow! Enjoy that cold weather :D
 
Thanks everyone for your support!!!

Tonight once again cant sleep... I am an insominac... I cant go to sleep til about 4am unless I self medicate with some NyQuil. And it doesnt matter what time I have to wake up, I still cant fall asleep. I just have so much energy in the early morning hours and dont know why. So tonight I made use of this energy. Went to WalMart and did some grocery shopping...man there are some weird people out at 1am :) ... but I must be one of them cuz thats the time I go shopping lol. And then after shopping I decided to hit the gym for about an hour. I only lasted on the tredmill for about 10 minutes cuz my shins where cramping so badly. So I then hopped on the bike for 45 minutes. I love the stationary bike. Got a good sweat worked up and decided to go home. Now that Im home of course Im going "I could of went longer....should of done some weights tonight....should of done some squats or something" One great advantage of going at this time of the morning is no one is there and you get the whole gym to yourself. I like that cuz I can work however loud i want....pushing myself harder without looking like a fool. :)

I do have one rant. I have 2 girls in my life that are seeing my progress and dedication and they are wanting to go to the gym with me. We make plans to go and I get all ready and give them a call and low and behold.. no answer... Im just sick of this and its been this way for about a month now. So Im done. If they want to go they can go on their own time, they can make the effort to change their lives, I cant do it for them. Ok rant over.
Have a great day everyone!!!
