My Never Ending Story

last night i did make it to the gym even though my brother ditched me he didnt go. so i went and just did the treadmill for 60 min. inclined at 10.0 at a 3.2 speed. i borned around 550 cal. not bad. today i just got home from picking a few things up, my fiance while we were out says to me, do you mind if i get taco bell, he loves that place but he was asking me because he knows that i am watching my diet, i didnt care so i said well maybe they have something there that i can have. THEY DID.. i ended up having a fresco soft taco 180 cal. X2... 360 yeah i know a lil high but i was so stuffed and it was so good. it didnt taste like a normal taco put it not only filled me up and was on the healthy side but it satisfied my craving of wanting something that i should have so i think that was good. and all i had this morning was a slim fast. so whats that 550 cal. and it is already 320 pm.. i had the taco's about 2 hours ago and stigg feel very full. i should have only stuck with the one that way i would be hungry to have a snack before dinner..
my fiance left to go play poker with my brothers for the night so it's just me and my younest son here so i might just pull out my new workout tape or even do the biggest loser jillian workout my fiance ordered it some how where i can play it on the xbox....
also i picked up hot dogs today 40 cal. per dog plus with a slice of whole wheat bread which the kind i have is only 40 cal. hell thats only 80 cal. picked up some yummy low cal stuff to kill my sweet tooth while my auntie is here. chocolate ice pop 50 cal.... oh yeah.
 
not much going on today had a really interesting day yesterday but that is a whole other topic... today just cleaning house hopefully i can get to do my workout yesterday i didnt because of stuff going on but today i will. i am looking foward to weigh in tomorrow yeah i check my weight every day which is bad cause i get annoyed with the scale. not sure what the results will be i am hoping for at least 3lbs. i really want to hit my first goal of 25.5lbs after that i think i am gonna knock my goals down a bit and make every 10lbs loss a mini goal maybe that way it wont seem so far away.
i also have not been drinking as much water as i would like., it is so hard for me to get a litter in a day and that is all i drink is water. i bought a 3 litter jug the other day and i am hoping to finish one of those every day. i know that will help a lot.
last night around 9ish i ended up having an orange. then i was still up at about 1 and i was so hungry i actually felt light headed so i nibbled on some apple slices ended up not going to bed until about 4:30 am got watching the new movie the house down on the left it was really good. anyways... hope you all enjoy your Sunday
 
wow i was just on fit day and according to that i will have to lose 23 more pounds just to be over weight how pathetic is that. i have faith in my slef, if only i can get more water down, i have never been a big liquid person, i can go hours without it. just wish i would be more thirsty instead of having to force it. any suggestions??????
the other day i poored a lil lemon juice in there just to give it a lil flavor. i have no problem drinking it in the summer when it's hot out...
 
i am so proud of myself, did my weight in and 5 more pounds gone, 1lb away from my first goal, i have never really been able to stick to this before, yeah i lost weight but i wasnt trying, it was just a stressfull time in my life, but this feels great. i am hoping to be in the 170,s next monday.
 
hell i know i am boring but damn no one ever writes, oh well hopefully someone will read this and give me an answer.
while i am at the gym the trainer told me i should keep my heart rate between 145-170 now in the beginning i had no problem doing that but now i can't seem to get it up there anymore, now sometimes i will get on the tread mill and walk up hill at 10-12 incline at a 3.2 speed after about 5 mins of my heart rate being up to 146 it drops down to 130-135
now i still havent gotten into running hard i can only run for about a min. which is a start i have never been the running kind of person but lately i have been having to do that every 10 mins or so just to get it up there. any ideas that would help, i am hoping to some day work my self up to running an acual mile but i know in time it will happen,
also the same thing happens when i am on the eliptical not sure why and on there i go as fast as my body will allow me, ???????????????????????????????please anyone
 
last nights workout went really good instead of the treadmill i did 30 minutes on the eliptical at resistince 6 and i was doing 130 stride per min. i had my heart rate stable at 167 after that i worked on my lower body then back on the eliptical for 8 minutes then finished my workout with my sides. i def. worked up a sweat and of course it felt great. went to be late as usual woke up feeling a lil tired but fine now and myself 2 slices of whole wheat toast with low fat peanutbutter still debating on what i should bring to work for lunch and dinneri know today is going to be a busy day at work so i want to bring something easy and quick.... off to the gym later on..
 
well i didnt make it to the sym tonight had a headache qall day and my foot has been bothering me so stupid me ended up coming home and i felt so hungry and here it was 8pm at night i made myself a turkey sandwhich, now i am hoping because i ate so late it doesnt screw me over i am not worried about what i ate only because i really dont eat all that much in a day cause i never have the time so here is a quick run of what i had today

breakfast 2 slices of the whole wheat bread and 2 tbs of low fat peanut butter total cal 280
snack i was eating on my way to work it was a skinny cow ice cream cal = 100

lunch i had a lean cuisine 180 cal

then for snack i had 2 cups of strawberry halves = 94 cal and a 80 cal

yogurt which i ended up having around dinner time which is between 5-6pm cause

i try not to eat past 6 but tonight i came home and had a turkey sandwhich so here it goes
2 slices of bread 80cal
2 &1/2 oz of roasted turkey 139 cal
light mayo tsp 25 cal
7 toast thins 66 cal
so all total = 1044 cal which is still under but the eating so late is what worries me

i hate weighing myself in the evening time cause there is always a 2lbs difference from the morning so when i reach my goal of 130 i am gonna go by the evening weight .
 
off to work soon. so i figured i would do a quick ramble before i leave, decided to try on a old pair of work pants that i wore before i got pregnant with my son, now while i was pregnant i found my fiance wearing them yes they are girls pants but you can't tell there kaki carpenter pants they were my favorite pants and after i had my son all the way up to me trying them on a few months ago they would not budge over my thighs well i decided to give it a wirl and OMG they are up and buttoned yea there a lil snug on the waist but they fit perfect on the legs and thighs so i am wearing them to work today. actually i feel pretty damn good..

i was thinking about putting a before pic up but i never liked people taking my pic unless i took it myself so i think i have some mirror ones lying around someweher in my computer 99.9% of them i cropped the bottom half out but i will take a look. oh and my belt that i have had for years, 2 months ago well not even that long i was at the one closest to the last one i have gone down 5 belt knoches so i guess my body is changing.

i did step on the scale this morning and i went up 1 1/2 lbs i think it was that sandwich and not working out thats ok i know there will be days like that but i am hitting the gym tonight .....ooo gotta go gonna be late
 
the last 2 days have been crazy with work, lots of running around, thank got tomorrow is Friday. weel i did make it to the gym the past 2 days last nights workout kicked my ass i def. put 110% in to it and it felt great, tonight i only did 20 mins. cardio and the worked on my lower body and added a few things in. still debating if i should go over the weekend or just do my workout dvd's.... i am also looking foward to the challenge i joined it's a long one so hopefully it will go well.
 
well this week was going ok up untill yesterday, the scale really hasn't changed not sure why but today i cheated, and i cheated bad. with all the stress going on i gave in to it and ended up having dallas hot weiners which ended up being 2 hot dogs and a bacon cheese burger and a damn soda. i can't believe i allowed my self to cave in like that. but i have faith in myself to get right back on the boat and continue my journey. for the first well second time in my life i have started to feel good about my self. the weird thing is i LOVE dallas on weiners but when i ate them they didnt taste as good as they use to same thing with the soda it was actually kinda of nasty... oh well i am not gonna dwell and put myself down over it. when people fall what do they do they get right back up...

You're God damned right you can do this. You can totally do this shit, YEEEEEAH!!!

:fist pumps the air:

Anyway, I thought I would come check on you. Seems like you're doing really well with your progress. You've lost, what...around 20 lbs already? That's pretty damn good if you ask me. Although, who would ask me? Eh, I don't know. I'm stupid.

So, what's a Dallas Hot Weiner? Or, do I not want to know? It sounds really sexual, like a Cleveland Steamer or a Hot Carl.

Seriously though, you're doing good. I can't wait to see how you do in our contest. At the rate you're going, you're probably going to kick some ass. I'll be checking up on you every once in a while so I can see how you're doing, and, so I can get some inspiration.

Keep it up girlfriend! <--- I either said that in a large black woman's voice or a petite, overly feminine gay man's voice...I'm not sure.
 
((((laughing))))) well i feel better now i was beginning to thing i talk to my self on here oh wait i was. i am looking foward to the challenge i need to do this well specially now that i actually read the whole thing and seen that the last pics have to be taken in a bathing suit :0

I am so glad tomorrow is Monday i just dont do well on the weekendsi did alot of cheating this weekend which i am not proud of, but during the week i do great no cheating i stick to it without a prob.tomorrow is my weigh in and i prob. actually gained a pound or even 2 and that would suck. i did get to wear a pair of pants i work before i got pregnant with my youngest, they were a lil snug but hey i was able to get them past the thighs, buttoned and all unlike a few months ago. i joined a challenge which starts on the 6th and i need to take a before pic. i am debating on what i should wear for my pic. should i wear a pair of pants that dont really fit and wear them at the half way mark pic and then the final and see how they look in the end....thinking...... i might just do that.. oh wait i am suppose to wear a bathing suit for the final pic.. ugh.. ohwell
 
well i did meet my first goal of 25.5lbs. although i am a lil disappointed i was hoping to break into the 170's that cheat weekend really damaged it. hoping to reach it next week.

50 more to go
 
I have not written in a few days, i have been so busy with work and other things that i have not even had time to get into the gym :(
this weekend i am hitting the gym hard i also have to send in my before pics to the mega challenge i joined i will do that either tonight after work or tomorrow.
My coworkers were making bets last night on how much weight i lost, my boss was saying like 50. Um yeah i wish but i will take that as a compliment it just shows that the 25 that i did lose is noticable so that boosted me up, oh and all my pants are too big now, it looks like i have a sagging ass in them, ohwell i am not buying any more clothes untill i lose more and am happy with where i am at....
 
You haven't updated in a while, so I figured I would bump your journal thread. You know, in case you...forgot...you had...one?

Umm, but really...how have you been doing? I've seen your progress in the weight loss contest, so I'm assuming that things are going GREAT, but...maybe something cool happened that I would like to hear about. Umm, maybe you met a terrible celebrity, like Spencer Pratt. Or, maybe a polar bear took a poop on your porch. WHO KNOWS?

Umm, I've seen that you've been doing really good with your weight loss and I just wanted to say that I think you're doing awesome. But, don't count on winning that bikini, because I want to win it really, really bad. It's MINE!!! Yeah, I said WANTED to win a bikini, SO WHAT?
