Kiss Me

I went to the gym tonight! First time ever....

I ran on a treadmill with some interval walking for 46 minutes. I burned 450 calories and I played with the incline a lot and it was between 4 & 5 mph usually and it was over 3 miles and it said something about 75 carbs. Hmmm.

But it was SO much fun. I reallyreallyreally enjoyed it and I want to go again and again. I LOVE numbers so watching the miles and minutes and calories and speed fascinated me. I do want to bring a book or something though. It gets boring staring at that wall.

I weight exactly what I did one month ago before graduation, holidays, Andrew and my family moving back in with me. *wow* That was a LONG crazy month. Now it's time for me to kick this back in shape for losing.

I have learned that my self-control is minimal - at best. My parents bring in the worst foods and SO much of it. Gah. I keep having little slips and I finally told Hero yesterday that I wanted him to know everything I ate as I wrote it in my notebook and counted the calories. He agreed and we came up with a better plan. I just.....hate to see myself failing because of stupid food in the house. I want to be stronger than that. I saw moving into my apartment as a fix for that as I would be the only one bringing food into the house. When that fell through I think my hope did as well.[/honest] *smallsmile*

So here I go again.

So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave

I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
Every storm will start with just a drop of rain
But if you believe in me
That changes everything
So long, I'm gone

I'm going to be cleaning out the shed again today and the house. Can't wait to be moved. *wink* This is a LOT of crazy work.
 
Thanks, Heidi! I need encouragement, that's for sure. *bright smile*

Been cleaning all afternoon. I just took 45 out to do Bootcamp again. Yay! That is SUCH a challenging workout for me. I'm drinking my water and eating really well. I'm ready to force myself into another challenge. *grin* I think I shall do this: I have been thinking so it ought to be good. For the next week I will not go over 1400 calories. At all. On any day. And I will do my best to work out every day for at least 30 minutes. I say "my best" because of this insane move. *giggle* It's hard to get away and do something for myself when I have energy left! I will also drink my water like usual and have no sugar. *grin* I'm DETERMINED to see a change in my weight and I think I need to jumpstart it. I also need to force myself into something for the better. So there it is! Seven days - starting with today.

7 DAYS:
140 oz water
-1400 calories
30 minutes exercise
no sugar

January 6 Begin: 169.8
January 13 End: ??? (166 maybe?!)

Dont berate yourself to much for the self control thing,
You're doing a great job and i think it was the season to slip up somewhat.

Now its today and all past sins are wiped, fresh start. Just like tomorrow and the next day :)
 
Oooh, bootcamp...that's a great idea! lol Sounds like what I need....
 
*grin* Billy Blanks Bootcamp is wonderful, hyperose! I'm just doing the basic one. I can't wait to get strong enough for the "Ultimate".

Okay! Day Two is going rather well. I'm drinking my water and eating well. I am ignoring the french bread calling my name in the kitchen. I will see how many calories that is if I can afford a nibble later but we are thinking more long-term and victoriously than that. *bright smile* It's been a good day. Hero woke me up then I fell back asleep, waking up 30 minutes before I was supposed to leave for work/church. Eek! I made it though - but it put my mind in a "hurry" this afternoon. I'm ready to calm down again. So I'm going to work out! I moved some boxes and things and stored some more stuff. Now. Is it "Pump It Up" or "TurboJam"??? I can't decide. I think the latter.
 
30 minutes TurboJam FatBlaster & 30 minutes of Basic TaeBo. w00t! I am sweating like crazy and that felt soooooo good. SHOWER.

Oh. And it helps me to have a calendar in my mind with dates and goals and etcetera. Sooooo. 9.5 weeks until I go see Hero! I want to challenge myself to be 155 by then. :eek: But I don't know if that's feasible. I will go this week and see what happens. *grin* Yay! I can't wait to be hugged again....
 
I know what you mean about not having a whole lot of control! I have a problem there also. Just keep trying. That's what I tell myself. Eventually I'll get it right and so will you!!;)

Lots of stuff. Short story: I was in the hospital taking care of my mom from Wednesday to Saturday. I ate very little but it was fast food and soda. Worked out none. I'm excited to get back on this as she is home now. *smile*

I lost 3.4 pounds! Oh my goodness. That makes me happy. I'll measure this Saturday as I didn't get to this weekend. I'm between houses and jobs and internet and everything.
 
The weight loss is about to be wonderful. Andrew and I set out some new goals this morning for the next 28 days. It should be the push I need. I'm excited.

I'm about to go to the gym and run for a bit. I should post my thoughts later.

I don't like job searches. I'm holding back tears right now. It's so confusing and sometimes downright discouraging. I just don't have the experience or degree or whatever that is being hired. I thought I had this in the bag on Monday and it fell through. I just read a Proverb and a chapter in a Praise book. I think I'm ready to go for it again. *sigh*
 
don't worry about what you don't have -and work on selling what you do have... Job descriptions are often wish lists and if the employer can get 50 percent -they're having a good day... And while you might not have the exact experience they are looking for - something you've done in your past might apply.

One of the best job search manuals ever written is What Color Is Your Parachute - the author releases a new version every year -but any version after 2000 is extremely helpful... It really should be the bible of any job hunter.. it's got lots of helpful information. the author has a now -that I honestly haven't looked at so it might just be an advertising pitch for the book - but it's absolutely a must read
