I guess I didn't feel guilty because I wasn't feeling crappy about myself - I enjoyed myself this weekend (so that answers your question about getting lots of school work done! ) And it wasn't a drag to get back to the gym today. I thought for sure it would be really hard to run and get back into it but it was just like any other day. Well me and Nick are officially broken up, and he's really upset about it. We hung out this weekend and it was great until he asked if he could kiss me and I said no. He went from happy to depressed just like that. I explained to him that it wouldn't make it easier for him if I kissed him because I am sticking to my decision. And I am really enjoying the time I'm spending with my friends. I feel good about it and I hope that he will learn how to deal with the pain sooner than later.
Wow woman!!! That' so insane about your boyfriend. I stopped in for one second and this is the first line I read...I'm sorry I didn't read further...but I am almost going along the same lines with mine. I am staying at my mom's now...and it's crazy...I'm glad and proud of you for making the proper decisions for yourself. You are amazing and strong...
Today in my communications class, we began talking about our "goal proposals." Basically we have to come up with 3 goals and create a plan of what to do and how to do it and when we'd like to reach those goals. My teacher opened up the discussion with this topic and it really hit home for me because it applies to this whole journey - if there is no plan, then our "goal" isn't attainable and all we'll do is want it. To have it we must take action! I think this quote is going to be sort of my "rock" this week as I have laid out different plans of action in hopes that I can reach my next weight loss goal! I'm going to keep referring to it whenever I feel like maybe I don't want to do this or do that... I'm going to remind myself that I have GOT to stick to the plan!
Food was great today, I just ate a small salad and now I'm going to have some light wild turkey mushroom soup. Yummmm
Hello friends of WLF! It is I, Sarah... and WOW ti has been A-G-E-S since I've been on here! Well, actually, 4 months or so, but it seems like FOREVER!!!
In a nutshell: I joined WLF in September of 2009, starting counting calories and running lost 20 pounds and was a workout FIEND. Began to struggle a bit (mentally) and stopped counting calories. Eventually created fitness goals rather than weight loss goals... started off good but then I turned 21 and basically I've been drinking and partying ever since! I can count on one hand how many times I've worked out since I turned 21... yeahhh.... that was in MAY of this year! Eeek
So here I am, reminiscing on old photos and wishing I didn't let myself get out of shape. But I can't keep looking back -- I have to push FORWARD! Starting with this diary. I've also decided to attend some 5K race's coming up in August! I used to LOVE doing 5K's so I figure this will be a good way to keep me on track I probably won't start counting calories again, but if I do, it will be easier when school starts back up and my life falls into a routine. Not just work, party, work, party, work, party like it has been all summer!
I was holdin' steady at 135 when I was working out and taking care of myself, and now I'm around 145 so I'd like to get back down to that nice healthy weight!
I'm going to attach some pics... some from when I was chunky, some from when I was super fit, and some recent. I have 2 other journals on here but this is my original journal, and I want to pick up where I left off here... KICKING ASS!!! Cheer me on, friends! Help me get my butt back in gear! I NEED IT!
Ahhhh... I love it!!! I just came back to pop in here as I do casually here and there & SHE'S BACKKKKKK!!!! I'm always on my accontability group on Facebook, girlllllllll join me! The more places to be accountable the better! You look great still by the way!
Yes i am also feeling that i am ready to take part in yoga practices.
First i was feeling a lack of motivation in myself and i felt that i would not do this without motivation.
Since the last post, I did a work out on the treadmill. One mile run @ 6.3 mph followed by 20 minutes of intervals (1 min walking @ 4.0 mph / 1 min running @ 6.5 mph) and ran the last minute @ 7.0 mph. For the most part, I am running my same pace but I have noticed the my endurance is totally lacking. In addition to my exercise-induced asthma, I have noticed my breathing is worse and my chest gets heavier than it used to. This will improve with more exercise, though!
I'm just about to get on the treadmill again... the scale this morning said 146.2 ... urgh. I'm gonna do this though! Thanks for the support
