This is my first entry in my Diary,

Today I am one day away from sticking to my schedual for a full 3 weeks. I am very proud of that. I have been hitting the gym everyday Monday-Friday. Lots of cardio and lots of weights, but I have not started any free weights yet. I did something alittle different this morning I took a class at the gym it was an hour long kick boxing class. It was a lot like the taebo (SP?) tape I bought a few years ago but never really used.

I will tell you one thing that class kick my butt this morning. I did pretty good keeping up but it was tuff. I was sweating like crazy and kept thinking "I don't know if I can really do this", but I did. It was fun for a change of pace from my regular Cardio. I think I will do it again on Thursday which is the next time they offer it. The instructor was really great and so was the music.

I did my weights as usaual today was abs legs and back before the class started. I went ahead and did 20 mins on the elliptical after the class that was about all I could do at that point. All and all I feel like I had a really great work out today.

I am doing my best to just stay away from the scale for now as actually losing weight hasn't happened yet but at this rate I think it would be impossible to not lose weight eventually so I am just going to keep it up and be patient about the whole weight thing. I know I am doing the right thing I just have to be patient. Well that is it for this diary entry.
PS. My boyfriend joined the Gym yesterday too! I am so proud of him he had his first workout this morning so now we have something to talk about tonight!

today was a mile stone

Well I work up late this morning and thought I don't feel like working out today and then I looked at myself in the mirror and said YES YOU CAN AND YES YOU WILL! I ended up at the gym and I am so glad I didn't let my self down by not going. I just thought of how badly I want that better body and that was my real encoragment. I felt so much better after my work out.
 
4 weeks today

Well today is 4 weeks that I have been going to the gym. I am starting to see the differance. However I cheated so bad today. I went to the gym and worked out. I had a great workout. My boyfriend said he wanted to buy me lunch today and since I am broke right now I took him up on the offer. BIG MISTAKE! We went to this place called Dot's it is by no means healthy it is soul food. I hadn't eaten there in a very long time and I ended up pigging out on the best tasting food. Chicken and Dressing with buttered potatoes and greenbeans. Oh it was so good. Then to make matters worse we both got peach cobbler. YIKES I wasn't really able to eat the peach cobbler and it is sitting in the frig now I tried to give it away to a coworker because I knew I was messing up so bad. Oh well I guess it happens. I am so stuffed right now. At least I did go to the gym this morning but boy was I bad today! I boyfriend thought it was kinda of funny he said you ate right this morning and you went to the gym and you will eat right tonight and you eat right every day I don't think that this is going to kill you to have one good lunch. I know that but still I should have had a little more will power. O well time to move on. Forgive and Forget!
I am having a fitness assesment on friday so I will find out how far I have come in 4 weeks I hope that I have a good result. I guess this was a really bad week to cheat. LOL
I am afraid I am going to miss going to the gym to work out friday morning because my car is going to be in the shop for a few days. I am going to try and take my boyfriends truck and work it in somehow that morning. I really don't want to miss a day at the gym I mean I don't go on the weekends at all so it means alot to me to get there monday-friday I will just have to figure something out. I guess I can go with my boyfriend on friday morning but I am not really wanting him to see me at the gym. I am like in my own world there and I am not sure if I will get as good a work out with him there. boy this was a long entry. I guess I will end it here.
 
okay back on track made it to the gym today and had a great work out. I should be able to go tomorrow morning still. I have to get the jeep fixed so it is going to leave me without wheels for a couple of days hopefully I will get it back monday evening or so. Anyways after I ate that really good food yesterday I felt sick all day. I didn't even eat dinner I had one little sugar free jello snack that night but I just felt so ill. Guess I learned my lesson there. I guess my body got used to the good food and did not sit well with the soul food at all. I have my fitness assesment tomorrow at 12 I am hoping it shows some results from the hard work I have done. Well I have to go meet my farrier to get the horses shoed today so I will be out of here early. I will post the results from my fitness test tomorrow. wish me luck!
 
I know, whenever I have my 'cheat' meal I always feel like crap afterwards. Reminds me not to eat like that all the time :)

Good luck with your assessment tomorrow! Keep us posted.
 
Fitness assesment

Well I got my work out in this morning and had my assesment. I was so worried it would come back the same but all of my measurements went down and I lost 1% of body fat with brings me to 28.8% I was so happy! However I gained weight about a pound but he told me not to worry about that. He also gave me some good tips on how to improve my work out and maybe get more results. He said I should do a small warm up on the elliptical or bike about 10 mins before I do my weights and then follow up ofcorse with my cardio as usual. I think that was pretty good advice never really thought about it before. He also said I should bring my heart rate up a little more from about 150 to 156 so I am going to work on that shouldn't be too hard. So anyway it was good motivation and I am ready to keep it up!
 
Well yesterday was good but I missed my first day ever at the gym this morning. I just didn't feel very good when I woke up this morning I still don't feel great but I am sure I will be back at it tomorrow. I am sure one day won't make that much of a differance. I still hated that I missed it today though. I have so much laundry to do and my house is a mess so I kinda needed to get caught up on all that stuff. So I am going to make sure I get back to the gym tomorrow no excuses!
 
Well I got my house clean and I am back on track at the gym. It was tuff today though after having yesterday off. I really had to push myself to stay on the elliptical for my 3 miles. I did 5 miles on monday no problem. I still feel guilty not going yesterday but that is in the past now and atleast I got all my laundry done and the house clean. today was 5 weeks for me. I figure to get back in decent shape I am looking at atleast 6 months. So by the end of july I should be seeing some really dramatic results. I see results now but I belive in 6 months I will be a lot happier with the way I look.
