BUT, the new us is all business...no more chit chatty bull like them. let's try to have a good rest of the week and get through it. we can do it!!!! We are awesome!

Win the lottery, not have to work, own my own business, have a personal trainer, be skinny, travel the world, catch up on my filing, be more motivated, get over my anxiety when it comes to MB, not have my eval, drink all my water, love dieting, accept myself, get a dog, be beautiful, have a career I love, love my job??

"When the world's trying to beat you down, know that I'm here to lift you up."

Yep - last chance....

2007-01-26T09:38:00.000-07:00

Dang, i can't keep up with you woman on here - so sorry. Totally, last chance Friday. I have absolutely NO energy to go to the gym today, but i must for my last chance work out. God, i feel like i'm on the Biggest Loser...like that girl that kept crying and saying, i can't do it. Screw her - i'm gonna do it!

I am a little nervous about weigh-in tomorrow too, but i always get like that. just gotta go in with our chins up and see our good work pay off. we're going to do GOOD! i know it. i'm trying to be positive...

Last Chance Friday...

2007-01-26T08:44:00.000-07:00

We're going to do excellent tomorrow. Maybe feeling a little bloated but we'll do awesome. Help us o'Lord to get it done what we came here to do. AMEN!!

What do you mean we're out of water..

2007-01-25T09:55:00.000-07:00

No more water could be detrimental to the goal I was trying to accomplish today. Drink more water so my phat azz won't be bloated come WI. But our saviour saved us. We got our water and we're good to go to accomplishing that goal. woohoo

Last night I did a great workout. Didn't do a long workout, but just the 30 minutes. But I did interval where it takes your elevation high and then goes back down to 2elevation. Well when I was on the 2.0 elevation I ran.. then the rest of the time I was climbing hills and still at a decent pace. I felt really good after. I'll have to c0ntinue to do it and figure out how I can do better, longer and higher.

Another day.. much better day..

2007-01-24T09:30:00.000-07:00

Well I got through some of the work I needed to do yesterday that I so happened to put off to roam the net. But I still have lots to do. I could be here weeks trying to get organized like I should be. But hey.. a day at a time.. right?

Last night, I worked out and felt great. I felt like I had tons of energy. I made dinner, washed the dishes, unloaded the dishwasher, ate, did some of my puzzle and read. I tell you it was great. Tonight i'm going to do the same, minus the dinner as Sam should have that ready when I get home.

Things are looking up.. for sure. I'm a little worried about WI this week as I feel that I'm PMSing and AF is on her way. Which is always a small gain for me. We'll see.

No working out.. booo

2007-01-23T09:15:00.000-07:00

Well I didn't work out last night. Not only did I get pulled into customizing my MIL's invites but I got the priveledge to pay for them too. woohoo.. oh and I'm not done. Not only that but I also am the lucky addresseer (is that a word) They sure don't know how long it took me to do my Christmas cards, huh? Well it'll get done. It's going to have to. And no diddling daddling on my part either. We are on crunch time here.

I've been struggling with headaches for the past two days. I'm thinking it could be PMS and AF peeking in on me. I'm struggling these last few days. I'm hoping I can get my shit together and move past that. I need to workout. I need to focus on what's important right now. And that's to stick with this program and do well. I'm on a mission. And I know you will be at my backside pushing me. thank you again for being a friend. ;)

Last night.. stuck to my 8 points.. unbelievable when I had IN MY HOUSE.. NYPD pizza.. I did have 1/2 a slice and counted that for 4. I had 4 sushi. and one peach cup..I did really well. I'm actually damn proud of myself for not having more pizza. YAY me!!!

Today's Calendar:
"It's easy to love a friend for all the things we have in common. It's harder, but much more valuable, to love the things that set us apart from one another. Learning to appreciate our differences brings a new level of intimacy to our relationships with others."

Another week.. another lousy loss

2007-01-22T08:18:00.001-07:00

But we'll move on for sure.

This week.. I'm fighting off PMS symptoms. I'll be ok. Let's just get this week rolling. We can do it and get it done right. I just have to keep telling myself that I will move past this. DEEP BREATH!!

Another Week Too

2007-01-15T10:39:00.000-07:00

Well, talk about a big dissapointment - that's me after my measly 0.4 loss. Oh well, i'm over it - a loss is a loss and what's the rush? i got my whole life to do this and keep it off FOR GOOD!!!! That's the most important part to me honestly.

I'm getting to love the gym - i know its only been a week, but i enjoy going - feels good. and i'm still pumped to try new things. let's hit the riverside gym at 4:00 on Sunday for the cycling clinic - you can see if you like it. i think you might....just take a pillow for the booty - LOL.

my menu over the weekend....yikes

Friday:
coffee (2), muffin, yogurt, peaches (2), bean tacos and chips (10), shrimp stirfry (4), sushi (2)

Saturday:
coffee (2), potatoe (2), eggs (4), ham (1), cheese (1), Sadies (the remainder and then some - my one bad thing :( )

Sunday:
coffee (2), cheetos (6), sushi (6), sushi (5), cheetos (6), berries w/ whip (2) - woops, a little over but i didn't go workout twice!

Anyway - on to a new week. its exciting! i'm motivated to work my ass of to get to my 1.8 loss goal!!!!!! I can do it, i can do it!!!!!

Another week..

2007-01-15T08:39:00.000-07:00

Well I'm sorta disappointed in myself this weekend. I didn't get to workout. Granted I was sick the whole time but I felt that I paid for the gym and I should be using it. Well I'm vow to go this week. I just hate going alone. I need a buddy. And my one true buddy lives on the other side of the city. Well I'll figure something out for sure. I will be getting on my tready this week on the days I don't go to the gym.

Weigh in was good. But I keep thinking it was a fluke. Not sure how I could have had the loss I did with only working out three days last week.

Let's see if I can remember my menu for the weekend.. it'll be hard and may not know the point values..

Friday,
coffee, e. muffin, chicken salad sandwich, ff pringles, half a slice of pizza (so yummy)
Saturday,
Starbucks, Chikfila meal, peaches
Sunday,
two fried eggs, 2 corn tortillas, red chile, stew, corn bread

Back to Monday.. what's on our menu today buddy?

Last chance

2007-01-12T08:37:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is weigh in and I'm pretty confident I lost. I really wanted to go workout today but the way I'm feeling. I sure would just like to go home lay down and sleep the day away. I'm going to try and just shake it and get things that I need to done today. I have my eyebrow appointment and I need to go to my parents house and make sure the snow is melting and not leaking in the house. I'd like to workout. And of all times I need to make candles. ugh..

Well tomorrow is the day. Here I am hoping you and I both lost. I'm sure you did since you are now a gym rat.. woohoo.

2007-01-11T09:57:00.000-07:00

Makes me wonder why in the hell I'm still on this damn diet. It looked and smelled so good. I could totally just have seen me scarfing that bad boy up. But again, like always, Lani saves the day. LOL

It wasn't as good as the eggrolls anyway. But now we are out and that sucks. But we have hummus and pita.. our all time fave. I'm excited for lunch. I'm actually thinking of having a avocado and sprout pita. That should be really good. I can have some chips and salsa too.

It'll be so sad without my partner in crime but what can you do about her being so popular.. LOL

This place....i tell you, its one thing after another.

Then SS doesnt' stick up for anyone. i tell you....anyway, work pays the bills and pays for WW and all the fun stuff we do - THAT'S IT. no more, no less.

Anyway - i can't wait to get outta here for our smokie...woo woo. what time are we outta here???

Day One:

2007-01-10T10:57:00.000-07:00

It's been a crazy day. Today I haven't had the motivation to do any work. I need to snap out of it and get to it. I have plenty of crap I need to be doing instead of thinking of things to keep my mind off work.

Lani: these eggrolls are the bomb. Thanks again for making them. You truly are the best!!

Boy, I can hardly wait for lunch.. not to eat.. but for our smokie.. woohoo
