6/26 stuffs
1st: I quit smoking! Granted, it's only been 5 days, but all is well and I think I can do it this time. 2nd: Have started restricting calories and food journaling. using basic principles of perfect body diet (loosely so far) and will incorporate more as I can. Start back at the gym on Sunday. | | Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | | 11:41 am |
New start, yet again
Okay! Back from 2 weeks in Hawaii; which was awesome, but not conducive to healthy lifestyle. Now to buckle down and quit farting around. Joined 24HF and plan to start on Monday, following New Rules of Lifting for Women). Kitchen is pretty bare bones right now, so good time to start restocking with good food. Short term goal: Lose 5 pounds by July 15 (Carrie's wedding; must fit into dress purchased for said occasion) Drink lots of H2O Limit soda and coffee intake (sob) No late night binging. Long term goal: get strong, by lifting progressively heavier things. Lose inches from total body. Try not to focus on scale. Tempted to throw the damned thing out, but not ready for that yet. Okay...GO! | | Friday, May 15th, 2009 | | 8:06 am |
Off the wagon
So ever since going on vacation, I have been HORRIBLE. At everything. I'm back to smoking, albeit only 3-4 a day, but still. I eat anything and everything. I can't stop eating junk food. Chocolate especially. Needless to say, I haven't been going to the gym. I actually feel guilty about it, but obviously not enough go. My old membership ran out and I have a 24HF membership waiting for me. I don't know if I am intimidated by the new gym (it's a lot different (set up, patrons, ect) from the comm. center I have been going to) or what. I can't get motivated and I have no idea what to do about it. Bah. | | Friday, April 10th, 2009 | | 7:54 am |

Today's stuff
Have been reading and reading the NROL4W to try to get everything soaked into my brain. Have a feeling that his calorie suggestions will just be an open invitation for me to eat like a pig, so I really need to focus on meal planning and eating healthy foods. Need to start journaling my food again, which I have been such a slacker on for about a month. Have discovered mini snack sized versions of ice cream drumsticks while looking for doggy icecream (today was Oliver's 1st birthday) at Safeway. 140 calories and yum yum! Now just to only eat one. Workout: Stage 1, workout B Elliptical warmup 100 cals/10 mins Deadlifts 45 lb warmup/95 lb x 15/95lb x 12; 60 second rest* Dumbbell shoulder press: no warmup/15x13/15x9, 60 second rest*# Widegrip Lateral Pulldown: no warmup/ 108lb x 15/108x15, 60 second rest# Lunge: 15lbx20, 15lbx20** swissball crunch: 2 sets of 8 * what to do if I start a set and realize that the weight is too much? stop and reduce? do as much as I can? that's what happened on most the sets tonight. .it was LAME #forgot to do these as alternate sets. Bah ** just realized that I did 5 too little on each leg per set. So this was my first time with this workout, so I won't beat myself up about it, although it is VERY annoying. Focus CAREN Note to self: protein shake with soy milk is heinous. 200 minutes/150 cals on recumbent bike | | Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 | | 8:24 am |

Weekly weigh in
down 2.2! Hurrah! Didn't think I did that good, but in hindsight, I have cut about 1/2 of my daily calories, which is hard to do. I did sabatoge myself with 3 squares of ghiradelli chocolates today, but okay. I still don't fell well enough to go to the gym. I'll see how I am doing on Monday. This week's VEGGIES to cut and snack on. | | Thursday, January 1st, 2009 | | 7:26 pm |
New year, new goal
So here we are again! Have joined the national body challenge as well as have challnged Erika, James, and Carrie to an 8 week weight loss program. Have plans to do the following: Drink 75 oz of water a day Take a class at the gym 2x a week, supplement with cardio/weight lift 3x a week Caloric intake between 1200-1350 calories a day Fat grams less than 45 grams a day Incorporate healthy eating and behaviors into the kids (and James') daily routine Here's the scoop" Start Weight: 149.4 (better than I thought it would be) 10% goal: -15 lbs Goal weight 135 lbs Have beginning measurements of neck, boobs, waist, hips, and thighs.

Back on track
God damn it!
I literally took a whole week off of obsessing, calorie counting, gym, etc. I think I was trying to hock my body into some sort of action. I went to the gym last night and rocked it like a hurricane! I even jogged. Then I realized I needed a better bra, then stopped before I gave myself a black eye. Will continue jogging after purchasing. Going to concentrate on inches lost vs pounds lost.
Must drink coffee. | | Friday, May 16th, 2008 | | 9:40 am |
Broken record
It's going to hit 90 today so I have tried on my entire wardrobe of summer clothes and I am feeling quite discontent and grotesque. I have been pretty lazy with my dieting, tracking, ect although I have been going to the gym quasi-diligently. I feel like I have hit a wall and am not sure what to do about it. BLAH.

Yahoo! 149! Things are most definitely heading in the right direction. Have made it to the gym almost every other day for 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes weight training. Am feeeling muscles I had forgotten about. My ass is saying "what the fuck?" since I have been doing lunges and weird donkey kicks. Am going to be purchasing You are what you eat 8 week program book and cookbook. J has agreed to go vegetarian for 2 months to see if that's a way of life that he (we) can live with. Need to get to 145 by the end of the month to be on track with my plan to be at 140 by end of April. Feel pretty good about it. Actually, feel AMAZING. |
