I definitely made up for yesterday ( Read more... )

Back to the gym today after a day off due to my muscles being dead yesterday. I wish I had stayed longer but I was worn out. Christine told me not to stress out too much about not being able to go all out every time. Hopefully I can make up for it tomorrow and Wednesday. That's my goal.

I. Am. Doing. It.

I just really want to find success. I know it ( Read more... )

As I posted last night, I am 6 pounds lighter. I couldn't be happier at the moment. I've been a little nutty and weighing myself almost daily so I really need to make an effort this week to slow it down.

I really am proud of myself, though, for being so dedicated to the gym. I've been to the gym 4 times this week and have alternated workouts to ( Read more... )

6 POUNDS!!

Pounds Lost: 6
Percentage Lost: 2.08%

Wow. Just... wow.

I think I've got my answer. It's over, really over. I've dwelled on this for far too long and just... won't anymore. I'm the kind of person who doesn't let go easily. It's taken this long, after all, hasn't it? I love people. I love them deeply. And maybe when I was 16-17 I didn't really know how to show it, but those people were ( Read more... )

I went to the gym yesterday and I'm still feeling it today. My upper body is sore as hell. Today I'll be running around everywhere BUT the gym so I'm definitely glad that I got in a good workout yesterday.

Tomorrow begins my morning workout routine. Waiting until the afternoon simply isn't working. Meetings, classes, appointments, etc... are all ( Read more... )

I weighed myself. Finally. I was so proud of myself because my diet was going so well. Exercise was consistent. I had my stumbles, but nothing ridiculous. I tracked my calories and maintained an average of 1800 calories per day (as opposed to the 2600 that I was carrying before ( Read more... )

Zumba again on Friday -- WONDERFUL!! This time, Kate and Aztin joined Amanda and I and I really think that we're going to make it a weekly date. If not, I'll be there anyway. I had originally planned on taking weekends off of working out, but Patrick also teaches Zumba on Saturday mornings in Shelton -- I might start going to that class as well.

After a disappointing couple of days struggling with dealing with Dave's car and class and the horrible Long Range Planning Committee's meeting regarding school closure, I've pulled myself together and I had a FANTASTIC day at the gym ( Read more... )

This may sound pretty pathetic, but usually, by Day 3, I'm already worn down by my diet and exercise routine. It is around here where I typically give up. I'm actually pretty ashamed to admit that, but... it's the truth. And that is one thing that I vowed to do throughout this process -- remain honest.

Today, I am feeling invigorated. My diet plan ( Read more... )
