...wild dogs....

...hey everyone, long time no blog eh??? lol...i am still alive and kickin and still going at the weight loss!!...

I go to the gym at least 3 times a week still....i change my routine everytime i go. I am down to 218 and 37% body fat:) Its a slow process, and no one seems to know why....going to go see the dr and see if there is something else i can do.

well that is it for today...nothing too exciting...lol

hugs

...its my ilfe, its now or never.....

...Ok my only news today is this...i weighed myself today after a week...i was kinda upset that i only lost 4 pounds BUT...my body fat went from 47% to 39%!!!!!!! If you ask me that is pretty awesome!!!...I guess my boring meals of chicken breast, veggies and rice is working...lol

My diet consists of this on a normal work day...(i work at mcdonalds if i haven't told ya that)

breaky- an egg and a sausage (i cut out the cheese) and a small coffee double double (i cut this down from a large)
mid afternoon- fruit and yogurt parfait with granola
lunch- a tuscan salad
mid afternoon- apple slices
dinner- a protein (usually a chicken breast), 1/2 cup of white rice, and some kind of veggie or a small salad
nighttime- some almonds or once a week a small bowl of regular lays chips

Plus i drink around 64oz of water at work and when i get home usually 2-3 more glasses. I have never been a huge pop drinker, so that is good. Sometimes i will have a green tea before bed but not very often.

Pretty boring eh??? lol

hugs

....the more things change, the more they stay the same....

Hey everyone:) Just a few updates for ya!! I have been going to the gym for 3 days a week...and i feel great. So a little story...a friend of mine gave me some large concert shirts and guess what?? THEY FIT!!! I was doing the happy dance when i tried them on and they fit!! So i guess the gym is really working.

I cheated this weekend food wise though, i had tacos and some coolers...shhhhhhhhhh don't tell my trainer! lol I figure once a week is ok to cheat though....and once a month for some drinks should be good:)

How is everyone else doing??

Hugs

...come on feel the noise, girls rock your boys....

...hey everyone...gee i am not very good at updating this am i?? So the last few days have been all about work, no time for the gym:( But i am going today....actually as soon as i am done this!! lol

I have a little tip for everyone...i started keeping a food/fitness journal. I started it because of my stomach issues, to see if something else is bothering me besides the gluten. But i find it helps when i look back and see what i did at the gym and to help my trainer see what i am eating and if there is anything i can cut out.

I am still feeling good (despite my legs feeling like jello on a daily basis!! lol)....and am still doing all i can. :)

I know some of you have started on a journey too....i will be there to support you too, because i know how hard it is:)

hugs

...how can i laugh tomorrow when i can't even smile today...

Hey everyone:) Just got home from the gym...wow Ved (he is my trainer) is trying to kill me! lol Today i did jumping squat things (they suck!!!), a step thing, some running thing and of course weights and the bike...I never really knew how out of shape i was until i started this whole thing...but i feel good knowing that in a couple months these things that are so hard for me now will be easy for me:) I tell ya i have never had goals in my life...now i have a few and i find once you write them down and tell people they become easier to achieve. Like i know that now that i started this blog if i start failing i will have a support team of people picking me back up...which brings me to my support team in life...I look at the people in my life and i know everyone of them will support me and push me to meet my goals...i could not have said this 5 years ago. I believe everything happens for a reason and people come into your life for a reason and there are a few people in my life that i can't imagine living without and am sooooooooo thankful they are here for me:) They know who they are so i don't have to mention them, so thanks guys...love ya:)

Ok so my trainer told me i need to eat more...like i said before its hard because i work at a very busy McDonalds and its hard to get a bite in...but i am trying. Today i managed to do it, and drink a lot of water...and i feel good. I always have problems with food, usually things make me sick...but when I eat the right foods i feel good....so i gotta keep doing it!!

What else can i ramble about?? I guess not much...thanks to the few people i have heard from already...i know right now i am not doing a very good job inspiring anyone, but i am hoping that will change when i change...because trust me if i can do this you can too!! :)

HUGS!

...its a mad mad mad world....

Morning everyone...sorry i didn't check in yesterday i went out for my nephews birthday. Yesterday was an ok day...i managed to get my 6 meals in (ugh)...and my legs are still sore from thursday (is that normal?? lol) I am going to hit the gym tonight to do the bike for a bit before i head out.

I find i am sleeping a lot better and my head is a lot clearer so far...as for a tip for today...try to get at least 8 hours sleep a night, you body heals itself at night.

Not much else going on...i will check in tomorrow:)

hugs

...there's no one like you....

So it hurts...my whole body that is!! lol I am told that its a good thing though...just a little hard to work when you hurt all over...but i made it through. Today is my break day (apparently you need to take breaks to let your muscles heal) so i hung out with a friend tonight and listened to some vinyl.
My trainer says i need to eat more...its hard for me to eat because it usually makes me sick...so i am forcing myself to eat small meals throughout the day. Its also hard to do this at work because its so busy all the time. Today i drank about 80 oz of water...i have a feeling i will be up all night...lol
Tomorrow after work i am going to the gym...i am told not to do much until monday when i see my trainer again.
I guess that is it for today...besides all my muscles aching i feel pretty good:)

hugs
