I'm still working out

I'm still on my fitness quest. working out fairly consistently but I need to do something about my eating. I don't eat much but I really don't cut anything out either. I've been eating some fattening and fried foods and I know that is not conducive to the things I'm trying to accomplish. I've also been skipping breakfast here and there and not really making sure I eat 5 or 6 meals a day and I know that is part of the reason why the scale is not moving. I've never been a "plan in advance type of person" but maybe I can try it out and see how...

Not consistent but I'm moving

Yesterday I walked/jogged on the track for an hour. I feel great when I workout but I don't know why I find it so hard to be consistent with it. I know that I need to lose weight and I know what it takes for me to do that so why am I not making the connection to get it and keep it moving. Oh well, I plan to walk on the track today as well.Yesterday I went to Sam's Club...

I missed a few workouts and you know what

I'm okay with it. As long as I get back on track then it's all good!. Today I will be doing ChaLean extreme again. I don't know why I want to torture myself again with that women. It's hard and when I'm done, I'm always pouring down with sweat. I think I will not try to be so gung-ho and keep up with Chalean on the heavy weights. it's been years since I worked out consistently with weightlifting so I now realize that I have to ease back into it gradually. I also revamped my goals and gave myself a year from now to get back to my goal weight...

And the saga continues....

I wasn't able to get in any exercise yesterday although I had every intention to do something. I had a headache that would not quit and unfortunately it lasted most of the day. I couldn't do anything once I made it home but pop some Tylenol and try to sleep it off. I have been getting headaches more than usual lately. I have no idea why. I used to only get a headache once every blue moon and now it seems to be happening more than I like. I don't know what's worse, a headache or a stomach ache....but I know I don't want either one.My eating...

Today is day 4 and I'm still chugging along

I'v manage to walk for at least an hour for the past two days and yesterday. The Kids and I participated in The Crop Walk to stop hunger. The initial route looked rather daunting but as we walked it became more bearable. The entire route was 6 miles. We walked with the kid's friend and parents. I'm quite sure I could have made it the entire miles but because the kids were complaining of being tired (even though they were adamant about finishing the entire route) the other parents thought it best to trick the kids by shortening the route just...

Day 2..Done!

I got up this morning and the kid and I walked for an hour on the track. It felt good but my legs are sore. Not from walking or anything like that but from the "chub rub" of my thighs. I never really thought that I had big thighs but the chafing has certainly let me know that I am indeed wrong. Anyway, I feel good that I have been able to keep it up. Yes, I know it has only been two days but if you know me, you know that is a feat in and of itself!. Also, yesterday, I did manage to muster up the energy to complete my Burn circuit 1 of ChaLean...

II know I sound like a broken record

with the "I'm back" thing but I am officially disgusted with myself. I mean I knew I had gained some weight but after having found inspiration in reading some blogs about weightloss success, I decided that today I would start this journey again and get this weight off for good.Anyway, what I was saying before I went off track was that I knew I gained weight but dayum. when I stepped on the scale this morning I was not prepared for the number that stared up at me. 227.8 pounds. may as well be 230 POUNDS! WOW!! How in the hell did I let that happen?...

Absolutely No Excuse

For my inability to stick with working out. I don't know what is up with me but I know that I need to lose weight and I know that I have to get active, STAY active, and eat right to do so but I can't find my motivation. Had I kept this up when I first started in January I'd have almost 2 months under my belt right now. Summer is steadily creeping up and before I know it, It will be here and I will still be in the same, sad, sorry state of fatness that I'm presently in. I know I better get to moving soon!!! I know as soon as the weather...

I'm Getting Excited.

I'm feeling a bit refreshed. Admittedly, I haven't been doing much of anything as of late. my workouts are sporadic at best and I haven't really been watching my eating but today it was so beautiful out, I decided to walk the kid to school this morning. I'll most likely be walking to pick the kid up as well. I hope this is a sign that Spring is on the way. It's a whopping 60 degrees here today...  60! lol I know that's probably freezing to you all who've been spoiled by beautiful weather all year round but 'round these parts, we take...

Hmmmm... I need to get busy!

As you know, I officially started p90X on the 9th, and while I rocked day 1(if I do say so myself) yesterday wasn't so hot. I already decided that I would need to work my way up to Pylo so I substituted with Hip Hop Abs. Now Pylo isn't extremely difficult and I have done it previously but the problem is that it tends to take a toll on my knees. When I did it before I did it using my trampoline and it did make it more bearable for me so that is always an option when I decide to work it into my routine. Anyhoo, what I really wanted to talk...

Reflections

It's amazing how much difference a few weeks hiatus can make....and I don't mean that in a good way. I did my 30 day shred yesterday and not only was I more winded than usual but I had to take breaks and modify a few things. I was working out consistently for either 2 or 3 weeks up until the 13 or 14 of December. From then until yesterday I did nothing. (well I did workout one day in between) Anyway Before the break I was still huffing and puffing but I could at least get through the workout but dang. Yesterday I was disappointed in myself....

Soon to Be Back On My Grind

As I probably mentioned, I had an appointment with a Mac Genius and he confirmed what I already knew. My hard drive crashed and I lost everything, EVERYTHING! I'm most upset about losing my photos which I tend to delete from my camera once uploaded. I did have a few on another drive so that's good. I have truly learned my lesson. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Before I left, I was going to by an external drive to back up my system but figured it could wait until I got back from my trip. Little did I know my mac would...

New Year, New Me

SO I have embarked on this weightloss challenge in '09. The plan was to start on the 1st but I will be starting tomorrow, the 5th. I just got back into town and because my Mac is giving me the blues right now, I didn't have access to a comp or my workout things. Anyway, I plan to take my stats and start p90x then. I also have an appointment with a Mac "genius" to find out what is going on with my comp. I'm pretty sure that I will need a new hard drive. (fell off the table before it went through the scanner at the airport and yes I fully intend...
