Hey thanks HEAPS for those websites Zoila!! I really appreciate them. I've already checked a couple of them out, I think they'll be real helpful!
So I finally got my lazy ass off to the gym today, so that was a total of 3 days in row not going, I really need to work my weekends out a little better so that I've got the hours down a bit better! My food was also good today. I had a breakfast shake, soup, yogart w/ bran buds, and a yummy yummy pita from Pita Pit. Now I know I really shouldn't have done that, but this is my thinking. After the gym my body said "Pita, pita, pita!!" it didn't say "Mackers, Mackers, Mackers" So picking some real nice fresh veggies I did it. I don't think I should be depriving myself of EVERYTHING, otherwise there's no way in hell I'll get anywhere! Also my water intake is getting better too. I use to be sooo good at that, now it's a little more of a concese (spell?) effort, but hey perhaps after a little effort, it'll come automatically!

Ok, so I definatly could have done better today. I had my slimfast, another chicken pita AND chicken finger and a ceasar salad. I feel ill now!! Anyway, I also didn't make it to the gym, so I didn't get to my class that I wanted to try! I HAVE to get there tomorrow, but the class isn't back until Monday, it kinda sucks to have it two days in a row then not at all. Anyway, that's what I get! I really should have waited on Monday, and gone to it instead of just doing my regular work out. Anyway, today I got my tax return back and bought myself an MP3 player. That's COMPLETELY what I need!!! I was on the way to the gym, it was 9 pm, and the woman's only side closes at 10... I knew it was gonna be a short work out but it's better than nothing. I would have gotten about 45 minutes, but as I was driving there I realized I had forgotten my water!! Stupid me!!! I could have gotten a bottled water there, except that I didn't have any change!!! I tell you there's NO WAY I'm gonna work out for 10 minutes without my water!!! Anyway, I still have heaps of things I have to do tonight and I'm already exhasted!! Oh, tomorrow is my first real weigh in day...it better be good!! Can't wait to see!!!

Ok, so it's been a while since I've been on the site. It's been a real bumpy couple weeks. I'm happy to say that when I weighed in last, I lost almost 2 lbs!!! So exciting!! I've had trouble getting to the gym this week, as I took a fall down a flight of stairs on Saturday, so I'm bruised and VERY sore. But I did get there yesturday and again today. I've realized that I can give myself a treat a couple times a week when I go to the gym. They have a hot tub and sauna. When the woman's side is closing, it's so quit in there with only the co-ed side open. I end my workout in the hot tub or sauna. I think it's an AWSOME "treat" for myself, and NO CAL'S!!!! Couldn't think of anything better!!!!

You know it was the stupidest thing, I came up the stairs, and I didn't realize it, someone was coming in, and I backed up a step to let him in, and I stepped back too far onto nothing and just fell backwards all the way down until I hit the baker's rack right at the bottom of the stairs. Stupid eh!! Anyway, I have to say, I feel like I'm doing pretty good lately. I've been to the gym Wed, Thur, and yesturday. I always take Sundays off, so I won't go today. But tomorrow, for real I'm going to try the newbie arobics class at the gym. I'm excited about it. My food has been kinda crazy. One day I'll be REAL bad. I think on the Tuesday after I fell, I felt sorry for myself and ate. Anyway, I think I'm on the right track now. I did eat a chocolate Easter egg, but for me that's not bad, because usually I would buy a 4 pack and go to town. This was just one little Wonderbar egg. I set up a new ticker, to keep track of my workout time too. I'm looking forward to changing it after every workout!!!

Thanks Zoila and Jess393 I really appreciate hearing some feedback, especially after everything that happened with my little mishap and slowing down after it. So I got to my very first arobics class today. I can't believe it took me like 2 or 3 weeks to get to it, but hey, all that matters is that I did it!! I checked my weight again this morning and I haven't gained anything. It kinda feels like a relief, some times I think that if I get on the scale, I'll just be back to were I started, if not worse. I realize this is totally insane, but... well I don't know. Anyway, as far as food goes today I really could have done better. Someone at work had this awsome liquorice that I haven't had in years, it was green apple Darrell Lea, it's made in Australia and I didn't know that we could get it here. Anyway, I found out were he got it and went and got 2 packages!!! Now I didn't eat the whole 2 packs, but I will after about a week or so!! I let you all know how long they last!

Ok, so I got off my ass yesturday and went to the gym. It was good, but this morning boy did I feel it!!! I've been feeling real weird lately. For the past couple days the thought of food just makes me feel sick, so obviously I'm not eating all that much. The other night I actually woke up because I felt hungry! I just went back to bed. I've found the best thing I can do is just have a Slimfast shake when I first wake up, and usually I don't feel so bad until I try "real" food. Yesturday after work I spent hours cooking and then I froze it all except for literally a couple little bites. Anyway, I've decided not to go to the gym tonight, I think my body needs a rest.

You know, that's something I really should get to doing - making almost a whole weeks worth of food, and freezing/fridging it until I'm ready to eat. Because the biggest blocker of me eating right is that I don't like to have to cook and wait for the food, I just want to heat it up and eat it!
Let me know how it goes!

I just realized that todays the last day I'll be on the site this week b/c I'm going out of town tomorrow. That means the chances of me making my goal of another 90 minutes of cardio probably won't happen. I guess if the hotel has a gym...oh who am I kidding...I'm not making the goal. Anyway, today I did my regular 35 min on the elyptical and then 15 on the treadmill instead of the bike. I like changing between the two I think it's a good idea. As for food, I'm still not all that interested in it, but I get too hungry if I don't eat. I really don't know what's wrong. How is it possible that the thought of food turns me off so badly, but that I'll actually get hunger pains? I think I'm nuts!!!

Ok, so I started my exercise - cardio goal over again this week. I'm happy to start it with a good 65 minutes. I did 15 min on the treadmill, 15 on the bike and 35 on the elyptical. I almost feel like being fat is the biggest overbareing situation in my life. I feel completely desperate, this weight HAS to come off!!! I need to loss these 50 lbs and then I can have my life back!!! If I were 50 lbs lighter I could deal with lossing whatever else needed to be lost, but at this point I'd be happy with that. I know my desperate feelings cause me to act in desperate ways, I really need to get a handle on this. Anyway, my food choices weren't bad today, and I got to the gym, so I guess it was an ok day.

Ok, so I'm happy I made it PAST my cardio goal, even though it says 12 minutes to go...I actually made it 12 min past!! Plus, any weights and I don't include any walks or things like that, so it's all going good!! I also lost about 1 lb this week! I feel good about what's happening!

Ok, so once again I'm happy with my cardio achievment today.
15 min bike = 103 cal
40 min eliptical = 470 cal
I know it's 15 minutes less than yesturday, but for the same amount of time on the eliptical I burned an extra 30 cals! How nice!!
I doubt I'll get to the gym tomorrow cause I only have an hour break between jobs in a 14 work day. But I guess it's ok, because I allow myself 1-2 days off a week.
