Kiss Me

Hi, Mal! It.feels.awesome. Because I know I worked hard and I deserve that burn. *grin* Especially when it's in my abs.....I love that.

So I did a short stretching workout thing from Beachbody.....it was really freakin hard. I used to be really flexible, I guess I'm not anymore. Is it normal to shake so much when holding a stretch? My body just wouldn't do it. I will do some more today lightly because I really want to improve that. I have also been doing pushups (5-7) a time or two every day. I suck at these and thought I couldn't do them until last week so yeah. :D I'm trying. Hero said that pushups are only good for pushups and they don't make you stronger/better? Is this true...it makes me sad?

Anyhow! I just weighed myself again on a whim and it was 167.8. *stare* .8 difference! This has got to be water or something but it's really exciting. I'm so sick of "losing weight". I want to be done already.

Events:
I have several events coming up this year I want to look great for. In fact, being my target weight would be AWESOME.
a friend's wedding (he wants me to sing) in March
my sister's wedding in June
a large meet/party with some friends of my husband's for years...it's a big deal and they haven't seen me before eek!
my brother-in-law's wedding in July

In June we're planning on staying at the beach for a few days after the wedding. I want to rock the bikini for tanning. ;)

Anyhow. I am really hyper this morning. This post was typed in record time and I feel like I'm chattering.
 
So our evening was a bit different...we did a couple errands and then Hero took the car in to be serviced so we didn't go to the gym. We actually had dinner and then fell asleep for a couple hours. After we got up I moved around a bit and then did the 3T Turbo Jam workout and the 8-minute Tae Bo workout with some stretching. Feeling pretty good! I sort of want to do more. I would go running but it's late late late. I won't blow myself out...I'll wait until tomorrow to work out again. yay!
 
No weight gain! Or it was .8 pounds, so I'm not upset. :D My husband wanted pizza last night and since I had eaten very little I went ahead and made that so I was a bit worried about gain! But I worked pretty hard last night and I'm still stoked.

I just had my oatmeal and cinnamon bread. I think I'll get some water and go do something...we are going to the fish store this afternoon so I will not want to work out when I have fishies to watch. *laugh* I'm not sure what I want to do though! Maybe Tae Bo.
 
Wooo. I did the Advanced Tae Bo which is supposed to be 1 hour but I simply could not keep up with the floor work. I have worked my butt/legs so much this week that it just wasn't happening. I'm pretty happy. Tomorrow is my off day.
 
I took Sunday and Monday off. Eek! Back on it today. I'm kind of going through some lifestyle changes right now outside of health so I feel all mixed up inside. :/ I'm not sure how that is going to affect weight loss but I think it could be in a positive way....not sure yet.

Anyhow. Only two more days left until weigh-in! I reallyreally need to kick it up a notch.

I find myself talking through the same things over and over. My push right now is if I just ate like a beast and had only good foods/drinks for a couple months I could probably be over this weight. But I'm scared I'll try to start a few snacks/sweets and I'll gain everything back.

I need to lose 2.5 a week to be on goal so I just have to work better this week! I was excited to see that change though. :)

I'm going to visit my parents in a couple weeks so I better keep on top of myself then. It shouldn't be too hard because I can run my old routes and maybe go to their gym.
 
I'm going to see how much weight I can possible lose in the next ten days. It honestly can't be that hard - I just need to not be weak.

I did 25ish minutes of Advanced Tae Bo and the 3T Turbo Jam workout.

How are you planning on accomplishing this? sticking with your original plan or trying something new?

Pretty much just being strict with myself. *grin* It's so silly that I give into unhealthy things so often. So...since Tuesday I have been good! I've gone out to eat with my husband and eaten small and simple with water to drink. It is hard. I want soda.[/simple] I want a sweet. Heehee. But I tell myself no and just....don't. I hope I can keep this up! It's really feeling good to myself being able to control my eating. I don't snack....at all. I don't really want to. I have been getting hungry three or four times a day and I eat pretty simple. I'm just thrilled about the not-snacking. It used to be my primary method of self-destruction. I honestly ate powdered sugar from a cup back in the day. That is the extent of how bad it was, I guess. It's nice to say no to that stuff now or to not even want/think about it!

But yes. :) I'm pretty happy with myself yesterday and today especially. Next weigh-in is going to be awesome.

Tonight I reallyreally wanted some caffeine or a Smirnoff. Badly. My husband was even going to go buy me a drink and I said no! I guess I'll do this long enough to make it a habit, hopefully! Then a soda or drink will be a treat instead of a normal thing.

Today I went to lunch with my husband and a few of his co-workers I had never met. When I left the table the female told him, "Your wife is really really really pretty." :blush5: Wow. You have no idea how much that encouraged me.

This morning I did Ab Jam and Tae Bo. Yay!
 
I just did TaeBo. I took Sunday and yesterday off but I've been running/walking 45 minutes and doing TaeBo on other days.

I messed up on the "don't do wrong" but I don't know how it touched my weight or if it did. I had two sodas and candy this week. I just don't know. But hey...I felt good and I enjoyed it and I'm losing weight! Or. At least I did today. I can't rest on an accomplishment I'm unsure of, I guess. We haven't been eating much through the day and just having a nice dinner. That seems contrary to all weight loss.

I think when I get back we are going to start the South Beach Diet. I've got to do more for my husband as far as that goes. I think we'll like it.

Aargh. Yesterday I was 165. :stare:
 
I'm 164 today. So weird. The Mountain Dew and Butterfinger diet is working well. *stare* Literally - this week I've had that and then some regular dinner and that's it.
 
I didn't believe the 164 anyhow. :D

Sooooo. Back again. As are eight extra pounds in the last two weeks so yeah.

Starting weight is 186 this time. Which is terrible because I was 166 six months ago. Gah. I've been running/walking at the gym. Not drinking so much soda (my downfall) and I'm one week clean of eating sugar. For real. Here we go.
 
Running was difficult today so I only logged 4 miles but quite a bit of running in there. I was the only person in the gym for 40ish minute. Geez. The gym owners actually brought fast food in and ate a table in front of me for my last 15 minutes. The smell was nauseating...I was really surprised at that.
