I am a warrior

I am going to go ahead and say that trying to climb in and out of a bath tub after doing lunges and squats is a REALLY bad idea! If I don't have tight buns by the end of the 12 weeks, I am doing something wrong!!

But I don't care, I loved every minute of the workout tonight.  Well, maybe not every minute, but 98% of the time was great.  The 45 minutes flew by!  Need to work on my push-ups though. 

Our team is doing well so far, and it's only been a week!  We WILL be the biggest losers! 

I can't wait until Thursday's class!!

Ink

Well, I finally got my ambition for losing even more weight.  Hopefully (fingers crossed) I can make the trip to Disney World with my sister and family next year. And I say ambition, so I can fit in the airplane seats and rides while there.

I have set a long term goal of 60 pounds.  I am making small 10lb goals to get there.  At the end of these short term goals, my treat is a tattoo of Eeyore's tail.  On the inside of my forearm.

Kinda like this, but I am imagining it cooler.  I have seen some of the work from the guy I want to do it, I am sure he could awesome it up for me.

This has always been my thought for a tattoo, but just recently I have made it official.  I am constantly losing things (purse, money, papers and now weight), and with the loss of the most wonderful woman 6 years ago, I have decided this will be the one.  (The one I start off with anyway :) I'm not sure yet if there will be any words to go with it. I've always been leery about text. You can't erase that shit!

I really like this one too:

I can't type with my prune hands

Maybe I shouldn't have spent over an hour in the bath tub tonight.

I did really good this week. I am very proud of myself.  I ate take-out a few times this week, but it was a veggie burger from BK, subway twice, both healthy choices with lots of lettuce  and cucumbers, and no combos.  And soup and half a sammage from the restaurant at work.

Having my morning and afternoon recess snacks.  I've discovered that I eat way too much milk products.  I LOVE milk.  I could eat cereal for every meal of the day, yogurt, pudding, chocolate milk etc.  That is a problem when you are only supposed to 2 servings a day.  Hmmm... must work on this.

I went to a birthday party this weekend and avoided the cake!  I pigged out on fruit and veggies instead!  And my cousins balls.  He makes a mean, tasty, melt in your mouth meatball! 

I never know how to end these things...

Satan Gave Me A Taco

I was told the other night that I can eat my favorite treat in small portions as long as I don't have any in the car, at home or at work, so I had to stand outside to eat my cookies today. Just kidding, I didn't have any cookies today.  I haven't had any "junk foods" in since Tuesday, with the exception of a inch by inch piece of birthday cake. 

Finding it hard to drink water too.  I don't like drinking, and don't think of it while I am at work.  I also haven't had any pop since Tuesday.  

I also did my 20 minute ball routine today.  Probably because I didn't have to work till 11:30 and had nothing to do until then.  I hope to get my treadmill in a couple weeks.  I just have to make room for it.  I know I would be on there everyday!

I also find, with writing the foods down that I eat, I eat way too much from the Milk aisle.  I love it!  And of course, not enough fruit and veggies. But I am working on it!

Every day starts, my eyes open and I reload the program of misery. I open my eyes remember who I am, what I'm like, and I just go "ugh... ~ l. ck

Hey, hey, you're givin' all your cinimon away

This whole writing down everything down crap is really difficult. I had Subway today for lunch, I wasn't sure what category to put the meat in. 

Aside from that, I did well.  I had a mid morning snack and a decent lunch.  But after breakfast, I went back to bed.  I could have used that time wisely and tidy the house, but I thought if I went back to bed, I wouldn't eat.  And I didn't.

Supper on the other hand, wasn't so great.  I had dear meat sausages.  Don't get me wrong, I love me some dear steak.  But these things were discusting.  They were supposed to be honey garlic, but there was no flavor to them what so ever.  I am pretty sure I will not be having those again.

Tomorrow will be a whole different day because I will be at work.  I don't eat as much while I am there because we don't get breaks, except for lunch, but they do have vending machines there with lots of goodies.  Maybe I can just not bring any change with me, that way I won't be tempted to buy anything.  But then again, I do work  in a place where snack food is easily accessible. And a restaurant.

Well I am off to catch up of some PVR'd episodes of Jimmy Fallon and The Roots. Three weeks worth.  Gona be a long night!

Have a good one!

Sweet Revenge

That is the name of our team.  And the sweets are going to get revenge.

I was a little disappointed when I got on the scales, but not as bad as I thought it would be.  Only gain back half of what I lost.  At least it wasn't all of it.  I went out and bought a set for home, and it's only 4.7lbs in the difference. This way I can check my progress every week.

Don't really like that we have to wait until next Tuesday for the first workout, but at least this week I can try to get into a routine of writing down what I eat.  Thankfully I am not doing it tonight, we still have a box and a half of mini Nestle bars.  I will have to get Willie to hide them on me.

Here goes nothin'!

Watch Out

Started  the day off on a somewhat good note.  Didn't have to work until 12:30.  It was a busy day so it went by quite fast.  Nothing really exciting happened.  I am just glad to be home.

Started watching Sherlock, the BBC version.  3 episodes from each season, they are an hour and a half long.  So far, so good. I probably don't really need to go into detail as to what it's about.  If you've heard of Sherlock Holmes, I am sure you an get some idea.

Tomorrow is the day.  Come 6:30 I will find out how much damage I gained since October.  I am very excited to be starting this up again.  This time there are 2 guaranteed training classes per week, along with nutrition counseling.  And hopefully by the end of the month, I will have a treadmill too. I know I can do this, I just need to keep my head in the game.

Yes, I just quoted High School Musical.

Let's put the "fun" in funeral.

We are gathered here today to say goodbye to Carrie. She was a loving person, caring, and all around good person.  She had one really big flaw.  She lacked in self confidence.  

Wow.  I really hope I don't have to, write my own eulogy. I sat here for almost 20 minutes trying to think of something to say.

This blog is basically going to be made of my ramblings with the my new self. I joined "Mighty Miramichi"s Biggest Loser" contest again.  It starts on the 24th.  I can't wait to see how much of my hard work has been flushed down the toilet since October.  My guess is - all of it.

I will be posting about my progress with the challenge, and obstacles I come across while on this 12 week journey.  

If you want to read about this, by all means fill your boots. But if not, it's no skin off my back.  I am doing it for me and no one else.  

If you lasted this long, thanks.  I hope I don't  bore you to bits in the future!
