Today

Work out with trainer was hard. I did complain a little bit. I am pmsing. We have the same goals. It’s going to be ok. I’m 150 still…for the last couple of weeks. I ran today and did well…just tired. Very forgetful lately. Feel disconnected. I don’t know…

Good session with trainer

I went to the trainer even though I didn’t feel like it. It turned out that it was a very good session. I was strong and did a good job. Trainer was happy with me. We did have a long talk while we weighed and measured. She was ok with me eating Chinese food. My weight is still 151 lbs. I wanted to be less…I wanted to be 150 or even 149 like that one day. I didn’t make my goal weight this month which was 150. Trainer girl says I did make my goal weight because I was down to that in the month, it would be nice to believe that.

Crap

Still feeling bad over last night eating Chinese food. My attitude is crappy today and I am trying not to lash out everyone around me. I’m thinking of canceling my appointment with trainer girl tonight so I don’t have to weigh and measure. I can always do it next Monday…that will give me a while to get down. I’ll have to see how I feel later in the day.

Chinese

I went out to eat with my friend to chinese. It was a mistake. I was very hungry when I went. It was a buffet. I ate the right foods, but just too much of them…so much of them that I feel sick :( I haven’t eaten like that in months. Tomorrow I get weighed and measured. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I was just hungry and ate for once, damn it. Now, my stomach hurts and it’s making all kind of weird noises letting me know I did wrong.

Well, tomorrow I’ll do better…can’t do anything about it now. I’ll weigh and measure…prob. up 2 lbs from today since Chinese has a lot of sodium. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

Enjoy the moment

Prompted by a friend at the Y, J, I went to the basic fitness run and boot camp this morning. It was a beautiful morning here, nice and cool, we don’t have many of those here in Florida. In the basic fitness run class we ran about 1.5 miles. Yes, I stopped at certain times and then ran again. Over all I think I did well for my first time. Then in boot camp we ran too to warm up. That was about a 1 mile run. A lot of running outside today buddies. Once boot camp started is was like short sprints all over the place…more running. I do love that running you know…lol. Now my shin hurts. I know I’ll be fine later on. I’m going back to the Y at 2:00 today to train with trainer. I hope she takes it easy on me, however, she never does so I don’t know why I keep hoping. She always pushes me to my limit.

From now on I have decided that I am going to enjoy the journey of this weight loss. I have about 30-50 lbs to go and then the journey will stop and I’ll have to focus on something else. While I am here I am going to slow down, learn and take it all in. I want to be able to relish this and enjoy from now on. Everything seems to be happening so fast and it will be over in no time at all. This is my new attitude…lets see how long it will last :)

No work today

Keeping it short tonight cause I’m tired and need to get to bed. I didn’t have to work today and got to the Y at 9:45 for kickboxing, then took power flex and dancerise. It was great fun and I got to see some of the people I haven’t seen since the summer time. Afterwards I had some coffee with J and Kira. It was very nice. I think when it’s time to leave my trainer and branch out on my own I’ll hang out with J. She is so motivated all on her own. I can learn a lot from her.

100 lbs.

I have officially lost 100 lbs! Yesterday I bought my laptop. It was shiny red, very big 17 inches, and awesome looking. When I bought it I didn’t realize how heavy the thing was…it was 9 lbs! After I bought it I went out to eat and brought it with me it was way too heavy. I knew this wouldn’t work out if I was going to be taking it with me to different places. I went this morning to return it. They wouldn’t take it back because I didn’t have the recovery disks. :( So I had to keep it…not too bad it was an awesome computer. 

So, I work on the laptop a little bit loading software and a cd gets stuck in the cd drive. Yep, had to go back to the mall and complain. I called up Toshiba and the guy there told me to tell them you want a product replacement for this computer…so that’s what I did. I got a different guy then I had this morning and everything was fine…the new guy was going to change it out for a new computer, then the old guy walks up and starts trouble :( and tries to give me the jammed cd player laptop . Well…the new guy found out from the guy on the floor that I was in earlier and wanted a lighter laptop back. The new guy said he would wave the stocking fee and I could exchange the computer for whatever I wanted without the back up disks. The guy from this morning was discouraging him all along to do that. I swear they were never in the box! They opened the box to optimize it before I even bought it…and prob. forgot to put them back in. Any way….I got a much smaller computer this time. I got a hp pavilion and it’s 14 inches. I haven’t used it at all. I got it late in the day then had to go to trainer and just got home. I will turn it on soon and play aroud with it. I think this is a much better choice for me. It’s only 5.5 lbs compared to the 9 lb. monster, although the 9 lb. monster was flashy…this one is cute and sweet….lol.

Training went very well today. No complaining and I did everything she wanted. She was happy. I was happy. I was strong today. I felt like my hard work was paying off. I told her I got into a size 8 skirt and bought a laptop and she hugged me. :) She is so happy for me. I’m happy for myself. I didn’t think I could get happy but today now…I’m happy and the stress of the day is over with. I ran today and did well with that too. She suggested I run on a speed of 7…I laughed at her. The fastest I’ve done was 6 so far…well guess what? I can run on a 7, not for long…but for like a minute. It’s amazing how far I’ve come. I can’t believe its still me. I’ve changed so much over the last year.

They added a  new room onto the Y and moved all the work out equipment over to the new room. It’s just wonderful. So much more room. It’s beautiful. You don’t feel like you are right on top of each other and there is a whole bunch of new equipment too :) I love the new room…I think it’s going to be easier to work out alone there too because things are spread out and not so close together…like no more guys side of the Y.  

That’s about it for now. I’m tired now and need to go to bed early. I’m going to boot up my new computer take a look at it and then hit the hay. :) See you buddies tomorrow.

Tommy is my new best friend

Tommy H. clothes are now my favorite…no doubt about it :) Today I went to the mall to test my size 10 out. Well…in Tommy…nope no size 10 friends…it was size 8! I bought a size 8 denium skirt :) That’s actually the only thing I did buy. Because now, I am ready for my mini-goal reward for losing 100 lbs! I am ready for my laptop. Tomorrow going to read the sales paper and buy one…so lets hope I can find one with everything I want on it.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

10

I don’t know if you guys remember but I was talking to a teacher and asking her what size she wears and she said she had a size 12 pair of pinks pants for me. Turns out when she gave them to me they were a size 10 but I never gave them back to her. Well, since I’ve had them I’ve been trying them on each week…when I first got them they were way too tight. I could get them up and button but no way would I wear them out of the house…that was about 3 weeks ago. Last night I tried them on for the fun of it and they fit! I couldn’t believe it! Size 10 actually fit me.

I normally wear my clothes baggy so I think in the thighs they are just a slight bit tight…but I took a picture and will post it later and you can see for yourself buddies…hehehe. I can’t believe I’m a size 10 in pants…I don’t think in all  pants but my size 12s are big now. I’m so excited. The scale isn’t moving down but my body is doing something. This weekend for sure I’m going to the mall. I need to buy two more pairs of exercise  pants mine. I can’t jump or run in the old ones that I have they keep falling down.

Gotta get to work…talk to you guys later!

Everything is just ok.

Up one lb. but it’s ok, my clothes are feeling loser. My white jeans last week were a little tight this week I kept pulling them up at work :) Makes me happy. Training went well tonight with trainer. I did sprints and ran fast. I also lifted a lot of weight with my legs. I am  happy with the workout.

Nothing else really…I think maybe gaining the one lb is do to the quinoa pasta I had twice in a row and the sushi on Sunday. I’ll have keep a close on eye those foods in the future. 

Tired tonight…going to bed early.
