...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

...let the games begin....

Hey everyone:) Welcome to my weight loss blog. I have decided to make this blog for a few reasons...#1- to track my progress #2- to have a network of people supporting not only me but each other #3- hopefully in time i can help others loss weight by my tips and tricks.

Weight is not an easy thing to discuss...we all deal with it, either to loss or gain it. Mine is obviously to loss. My #1 reason is to be healthy. I don't care what i look like, if people don't like the way i look then you know what they can do. lol I am sick of dr visits, physio visits, feeling sick, feeling tired etc...

So where did my journey begin?? The picture of me was taken in Mexico Jan 2011, at that point in time i weighed about 240lbs. Around March i started cutting out carbs (i have celiac and can't eat them anyway, but i was...i know stop yelling at me! lol), and by June i was down to 220lbs and then it stopped...i kinda plateaued you could say.

So last week i joined a gym. I joined Goodlife Fitness. I admit i was scared...but i went...i signed up for a personal trainer. I realized that all the other attempts at the gym did nothing for me because i was doing the wrong things!! Walking on the treadmill does nothing for weight loss, its good for your heart though. All things i didn't know!! I have been about 6 times now, and everytime i come home i want to die...lol but surprisingly i feel great after going! I sleep better and my overall mood is better! (so all those people aren't lying to ya, exercise really does a body good!)

Not sure what i am going to blog about...i might blog about what i ate during the day, how my work outs go, my frustrations, and i guess my accomplishments.


See ya all tomorrow....:)

hugs
