Time to find me

Another night down. Going to to gym in this snow is interesting, though. It's like the city will plow the main streets - which is great, don't get me wrong - but they will leave the side streets that we live on unplowed so that we get stuck there. Ugh. We live in Montana, people! Get a damn plow out!!

Whent with the little sis to the gym tonight. Tons of people there, though. I hated it, really. But, I knew that Lacey was two rows back so it was kind of like I had my security blanket... lol

40 minutes, 8.6 miles, recumb bike
Calorie wise - today bombed. No healthy snacks, really bad food, ick. Time to go grocery shopping tomorrow, but I have to make sure I stock up on GOOD stuff, no bad stuff!!!
 
Hey Kris, keep it up! If you need any help with meal planning, scheduling, preparing just let me know. It's a pain to do, but it's awesome when you can pull a meal out throughout the day. Keeps your mind off hunger, and junk food. Oh yeah and the snow does suck! Here in Michigan it may not be as bad as Montana but nonetheless it sucks! Keep it going, use work stress out at the gym. Your doing great, think positive and stay strong!

Remember, at the gym everyones there to better themself. People will look but hey maybe there thinking, wow I wonder how she's losing that weight, or dayum she's cute. If you or sunflower get shy when someones looking, just smile to break the ice.

On the days that your not up for it, to eat good, or go to the gym. Just ask yourself, how bad do you want it? I ask myself that 20 times daily lol, it keeps me going. Go for the gold!

Well, I guess I can hope its "dayum she's cute"... lol!
I am ok with going. I just started my fifth week going and I feel great! I keep thinking about why I kept myself from going before! I am just a stooge, I guess! lol
 
Back to the gym tonight. I love going to the gym, but I love the nights where I can curl up with a book, too. I am glad that I have a balance right now, fer sure. I realized last night that I have been going to the gym every week for at least 4 days a week for a month now. SOOOO HAPPY about that! :p

Tonight there was some crap that went down at work. Not really happy about it because it may come to the point of affecting me and my paycheck, but what can you do? Just go with what comes and live with it, I suppose. Well, with the drama came a request that I stay 2 hours past my shift. I can't complain too much - the over time was great, but I have found myself getting into a routine where I get off work, come home and eat, and then let my food settle before going to work out. Didn't get that tonight, but it didn't matter too much. Did 40 minutes, had a great time, and and really excited for next week when I integrate a different machine. :D

My weigh-in was Monday morning. Didn't loose much, but I at least maintained and even lost a little. No gain, which is really all I can ask for right now. I want to loose another 10-15 pounds before I go on my mini-vacation. I can see a difference in my face already and that's the one thing my dad has always been critical of. When I was getting to the point of losing weight last year, he would always point out that my chin/cheek area were still unchanged. I can see a difference now, and I am proud to be able to say it was my hard work that caused the change!
 
Oy. For some reason, the gym kicked my butt tonight. I think that it was because of the taco salad I ate for dinner... Turkey meat, lettuce, low fat cheese, salsa, and low fat sour cream. It was yummy delicious, but my stomach hated me while at the gym.

Not really feeling a post tonight, either. I dunno what is wrong with me. Usually the gym makes me feel better. I think I am gonna go to bed and see what tomorrow brings.
 
Oh lordie, I have been in a funk for the last coupla days. I think I can attribute it to stress at work, but who knows. There have been a few lay-offs and it's really scary to go into work and not know if you are next. They keep telling us that they aren't going to do anything drastic, but at the same time I didn't really expect these people to be laid off last week, either. I applied for a new position that will hopefully take some of the stress off of me, but I don't know if I will get it. I have some uber tough competition. I guess I will just have to see what comes of it...

Went to the gym tonight. I was doing so well for so long and now I am actually stuggling to get 40 mins in. I am confuzled. Tuesday I am gonna start on the eliptical. We'll see how that goes.

My goal for the week is to guzzle as much water as possible. I feel a little dehydrated. I think that is wierd, though. I drink water ALL the time. grr.. I hate my body.
 
Oh.
Emm.
Gee.

I went to the gym tonight and there were CRAZY amounts of people there! I think it is a good thing that I decided that I was going to try something a little different tonight, though. There were two chicks on the only two recumbent bikes in the place! Ugh! But, I got in some weight-bearing cardio, which I know is good but I still hate it. The eliptical hates me, and I hate it right back.

30 minutes total cardio tonight. Tomorrow I have got to start counting cals again.
 
This last week was really bad, attitude-wise. I have just felt like a real debbie-downer for the longest time. I can't seem to feel good, I can't seem to eat well, and I can't seem to love myself enough to care for a while. I don't think I am totally in the right state of mind, yet, but I am getting there.

I have kind of been forced to do different forms of cardio at the gym lately. I go to a really nice 24-hour facility, but there always seems to be someone who wants to use the recumbent bike while I am there. For the last week I have gone and had to start out on the treadmill (not as bad as I thought it was, as it turns out) or the eliptical (pure evil) and then move on to the bike. Well, tonight I go there with my little sister and I see two of the girls that like to do the bike for like an HOUR, so I hurry up and get my butt in gear. I beat them to it, and I am pretty sure I had some really bad stink eye thrown my way. Oh well. I just wish that the gym would have one or two more of the recumbent bikes for other people to use!

I am feeling better after my work out tonight. Hopefully I will get to have a better week than I did last week. I can use a good, (almost) stress free week!
 
I just found your Diary and wanted to say keep up the good work!!! kuddos to you for getting out and doing it! :)
 
bah. What a week. I swear that I hate being sick even more than I hate snow. Wednesday night this just kinda creeped up on me and I have been down and out for the count. I have now had 2 weeks in a row of only 3 days to the gym. I hate that! I want to go, I want to lose the weight, but I can hardly think let alone go to the gym and do what I need to do. But, I don't care how I feel tomorrow - I am going! I am going to switch up my schedule a little bit and start going 5 days a week. I am also ready to start doing more of the treadmill and/or eliptical. I won't be doing as much or as many miles, but I will be doing something weight bearing.

So - here's to hoping everyone else out there is healthy. *cough cough* I am gonna go climb under my heated blanket and have pleasant, skinny dreams. *smile*
