Kiss Me

I did it!!! I finally got on here. LOL
Looks like you are keeping up the good work. You will be in that one skirt in no time the way you are going.
Those black pants go with everything..and I know you looked fab!!! You are doing such a wonderful job.. you keep me motivated. *smile*
My toe is healing nicely.. I will be doing Tae Bo real soon! Thanks for the motivation.
( I start work on Tues and I am stoked!!!)

Have a good Saturday!!
 
It's been waaaaaay too long. Ugh.

SO. No weight loss. Looks like I gained 0.8. That's got to go.

I woke up with the flu or something on Tuesday and was dead sick that day and half the next. So. I didn't work out at all and stopped watching calorie intake. It was pathetic and I was the best sick person you ever saw. *wink*

Enough of that. I am still in this - I just have to fight a bit harder to make up for not fighting at all. I'm tired. Really tired.
 
It's been way too long.

I started this at 180 and I'm now 170. Yay! I still have a long way to go but wow...this feels good. *happy*

I'm doing Tae Bo, biking, crunches, lunges, squats and kickbacks, jump rope, running, walking. I don't think I'm consistent enough yet. I pick a work-out based on mood or whatever. I don't know how smart that is.

I'm counting calories now very religiously. From 1200-1400 daily. Water for my drink with the rare sugarfree kool-aid or diet, caffeine free. But those are very rare. I eat breakfast every morning and I just started taking Xenadrine for kicks. I have NEVER used anything like that and I just wanted to see what it would do. I'm still eating and working out the same - not looking for a miracle - just a bit of help. *wink*

I did Basic Tae Bo this morning and crunches. I'm about to shower and have Wheaties and milk. I'm going to get my hair done in a bit...that's pretty exciting.

Four days until my Hero is here! I hope he can tell a difference!
 
This is completely off-topic in the BEST way.

My father. Has asked. To have lunch. With me. Today.

I keep stopping myself from crying! I yes. This is amazingly happying. Our relationship has been incredibly rough for the last tennish years. Well. God is good and He changes people for the better and best. God has given me an increased awareness towards my bad attitude in this relationship and yesterday He opened my dad's heart to my being one of his priorities. I am completely beyond words with joy at this transformation. I have never had an intentional lunch/meeting with my dad like this!

So. I have to go. I'm giddy with joy.
 
Today:
Basic Tae Bo - 30 min
3 miles biking - 30 min
Advanced Tae Bo - 1 hour
1.5 miles running/walking - 20 min
Crunches - 10 min

Total - 2.5 hours

Hot dang.
 
WOW!! You have done so well. I am so proud of you! Lunch with your dad (12/02)..how did it go? I hope it went as you wanted it to. (I understand your excitment..I havent spoken to my parents in 5 yrs.) That is so wonderful.
You are kickin ass with your workouts. 2.5 hrs? HOT DANG is right.

You go girl!!
 
Geeeee. I am bad at keeping this right now!

My fiance has been here for two weeks. I have not worked out but ONCE in two weeks. I lost three pounds but I may have gained them back. I'll find out tomorrow. I am eating horribly. Horribly. So you know. I'm still on Xenadrine so that is keeping me down because..... I'mnotcountingcalories.[/whisper]

*huge grin* But hey!! I'm having an amazing time so I guess that's all that counts. He won't run with me or bike or go to the gym. *grin* He eats donuts and takes me out to dinner though.

I think I found an apartment! And I have put one resume out. The part-time job I have now takes care of rent, insurance, cell, groceries, utilities....it's amazing looking at the numbers. I'm super excited and encouraged with that. So I am taking my time looking for a full-time.

Drew leaves in a couple weeks so I will get back on track with eating and working out immediately. Promise!!!

He took me to buy clothes last week and I got the cutest capris, dress, jacket and a couple shirts. All very snug and young-looking. It's nice being able to fit juniors clothing again!

Anyhow. Update there. Yesyes! Thanks for your encouragement, ladies. *grin* It's not wasted.....I am just delayed a bit.

And! Lunch with my dad was awesome. He really tried for a week or so then Drew came. And now he's back to being weird. I'm thinking he doesn't like me having a real man in my life.
 
Hero left yesterday morning.

This means my eating and working out is back on track immediately. *grin* I'm excited. I'm at 168 as of yesterday. 15 pounds until I meet my initial goal!
 
I intentionally did not join the January Challenge as I have been in the last two month-long challenges and did not come out as well as I had "challenged" myself. I need to sit back and see why and adjust that - it gets depressing!

So. I'm at 170 right now. It has been changing up from 167-170. I would like to be at 160 by January 31st but I may be setting myself up for failure through that. So I am going to say 162 pounds in 31 days!

Rules (every game must have rules):
1. water
2. 1100-1400 calories
3. water
4. daily exercise
5. water

That should do it! I think I am scared of starting up again. No. I know I am. I'm scared of everything. *sigh* So. No being scared of something that is not scary. I shall just throw myself into it. Again.

I will be right back.

Back. I freshened my water glass up and threw out some diet soda cans. *hangs head* Yes, I got back onto that with Hero here. You know - I don't want to think about that. I was off for a month with some awful habits re-established. But it's over! I will do better the next time we're together. We have a bad swerve to have "holiday" when we're together. That's okay for a few days at a time - but not weeks!

I think I will fly up to see him in March. I'm super excited about that. I will do it sooner if I can manage the money in a good fashion. Not sure about that though. It's so expensive.

I was supposed to have my own apartment this week but a bunch of stuff just...stopped...and it didn't work out. I'm still readjusting to the change. It's good overall, I'm sure. It's what Hero believed was right and he's a good egg. *grin* I will be living with my parents for the time before I move up to Hero's family. Good point here - they are moving to a beachtown next week. *wiggle* This means lots of beach for Laura and good employment.

So. I need to get off my butt and do Tae Bo.

Pictures - these are from the past month -

Hey girl!!

You look great! The beach looks so relaxing.. I miss the ocean. Looks like you doing amazing. Hey ya gotta takea break sometimes right? I understand that. Way to go on all your progress.

:)
 
Hi, Mechelle & Jeepy!

I did 30 minutes of TaeBo, showered, conditioned my hair, removed nail polish from all my nails, washed my face and put on one of my fiance's old shirts.

I.feel.so.much.better.

Isn't it funny how moving around helps people feel alive? *wink* I looked very overweight as I worked out in skimps but hey....I will get back on the train.

My sister made cake tonight. Look at me who's not going to eat it. *happy sigh*
 
Good for you, not eating cake! My daughter made one and I had a large piece! So it's all good. My hubby goes back to work tomorrow and that makes it easier to stay on track!:)
 
I just did Billy Blanks Bootcamp Basic Training. It ate me. :D I'm super excited about Billy right now. I don't have Billy Bands so I did it without but it was HARD. When this becomes easy without I think I'll buy the bands. That could be a long while. *grin*

I am off sugar/caffeine again. Other than the Xenadrine. I had a diet pepsi this morning...butyouknow. It's okay now! I drank enough water to drown the evilness out of me.

I'm going to go take a wonderful shower and call my Hero. I need to brag. HAPPY.
 
Andrew told me I needed to post some before and during photos. Mmmm. I don't know about that. Ifeelreallyshy.

I have been eating really good and drinking water and I'm super active. I didn't work out yesterday - I cleaned the shed for two hours instead. *laugh* I am still super sore from Bootcamp so it's a good thing. We're in the process of moving so there is a TON of work to do that is giving me enough of a work out right now. Hopefully things will get back into a schedule in a couple weeks.
