Does this mean I have to bring my camera everywhere?
A long time ago I read somewhere that it was a good idea to photograph everything you planned on eating. And I thought "wow, that sounds like a lot of work!" But the more I think about it the more I'm inclined to do this but again, I must think of it as a one day at a time thing or it will seem daunting and I will quit before I even begin. This is ( Read more... ) -
Do your best and forget the rest!
I'm back from Tennessee and I can't believe really and truly how fat I let myself get again. It's crazy!! Jesus! I look so awful in the pictures of me that were taken last week. I mean hello double chin! Shit!
I got my lazy ass up to do Yoga X today because honestly I have no choice, I HAVE TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF! If I don't get back to the size ( Read more... ) -
T'was the month after Christmas
- author unknown
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remembered the marvelous meals I'd ( Read more... ) -
New Community
This is interesting, I just downloaded a new client to update my journal entries in and so far so good. The real test will be whether or not this posts correctly and not all jumbled up like the LJ editor has been doing for the past week and a half now.
So new community :D Seems I cannot stop creating them these days but it is the easiest way I've ( Read more... ) -
a reason to start over new...
God I really let myself go with that Achilles injury. I mean okay, yes it prevented me from working out for 2 months but Jesus! I gained like 15 pounds in those two months. What the heck was I thinking? Or should I say what the hell was I eating? No I have to make this year's focus all about losing weight again, darn-it!! I hate the fluctuations. ( Read more... ) -
All alone in the waiting room
Well since I screwed up my achilles tendon last Friday I also screwed my renewed workout schedule. Now I've pushed my restart date back to October 1st since I have no other choice. Unless I want to be stupid and work out injured like I did Friday (day of the sprain). In my defense though I didn't know how badly injured I was then but still I should ( Read more... ) -
Push Phase (day 1) - CLX Day 29
Ah, today was the first day of the Push phase and my goodness it was tough! I think I was crying out in pain (the good kind) the whole way through. Holy crap that tiny blonde (Chalene; the instructor) means business! I love it! I held 25 lbs for the standard squat so I'm starting off big because as Chalene would say "go BIG or go HOME!" So I'm ( Read more... ) -
Burn phase almost complete - Day 26
Today was the last day for any of the Burn Circuit workouts :( It's a bittersweet departure, lol. No really I will miss doing these workouts but I am definitely excited to proceed onto the Push phase. I am super excited to start seeing changes. I'm even eating much better and every two hours as I should have been. Not that my body gives me much of ( Read more... ) -
Wednesday: Rest - Day 18
MONDAY - Day 16: Burn Circuit 1
TUESDAY - Day 17: Burn Circuit 2
This week is a little different from the past two weeks in that I took Sunday instead of Monday off. I was just so exhausted and schedule or not I listen to my body! My body says "I'm hungry" I feed it. "I'm tired" I rest. So both Saturday and Sunday I made my rest days. And again ( Read more... ) -
Joining the Team Beachbody Club - Day 13
I don't know what was up on Wednesday with the body fat caliper but I did it again today and finally the results coincide with the scale measurements. Although it means I have more body fat (it's okay) I'd rather it be accurate than to fool myself into thinking otherwise due to wonky results.
Burn It Off is a seriously kick ass workout, I just love ( Read more... )
