A 2 day streak!

So far I am all on it baby. Monday I started out strong. Well not STRONG but I ate well and worked out. Drank 48oz of water.

 Today same scenario. worked, worked out, ate well. Well I did have home made macaroni and cheese, but I have a very small serving and did not over stuff myself. In fact honestly I would have rather had box mac and cheese than the home made stuff. I just like it better. Go figure.

 I hope to keep my momentum up all week. Oddly enough I showed a loss on the gym scale today. Not sure if that was a fluke or what, but I'll take it. I cannot wait to see and feel a difference, which is what I am really going for.

Gym Bound!

 Wow I am quite the slacker. I started this blog thinking it would motivate me and in turn possibly motivate someone else some day... So far all it has proven is that I want to do this, but never do. Where is that get up and go I had before? I get discouraged because I see no results but deep down I KNOW that I have not worked long enough or hard enough to see any results so getting discouraged is stupid.

 So Monday is tomorrow. I love Mondays a fresh new start a new week and I always feel like I can "start over" this day. Then when I screw up Tuesday I think.... I will start over Monday and fuck my whole week. NO more of that. I am human and I will mess up but I will NOT wait a week to "start over" after messing up. Right back on that track girl... No waiting. NO tomorrow, no next week. NOW.

 My goal is to hit the gym right after work each weekday do whatever for however long, just HIT THE GYM.

 Eating smaller portions and try to stay away from the sugary empty carbs, if I "need something" I will have ONE serving of it. Not 20. Drink my water, and just try to feel better about who I am and realize what I can become with some work.

Gym Today!

Went with my oldest daughter. We worked out a total of 66 min. Felt good, but I am sore, already. I am still loving the woman's gym. This evening when its usually really busy upstairs there were only four other ladies in the gym with us. Very nice.


 Destiny says she 'd like to do Zumba next time... I think I might be scared! I want to try it but not alone so this is awesome!!! :)

 Eating has been pretty good today. I ate a bit too much macaroni salad at work, and ate out dinner but chose subway (6g fat sub) So it could have been better, but it could have been so much worse.

Joined the lady's only gym

 In my gym. My co-worker has had the membership for a while and likes it, but last month they had a special where you could add anything to your membership for half the regular cost. So I did. Ladies gym here I come!

 I went today and let me just say I.LOVE.IT.

 The TV's are NOT on sports. There is a bathroom in there WITH a scale. There is a tanning bed in there WITH a lock on the door. There are lockers in there. A couch. Weight machines, free weights, cardio equipment, mirrors... Add that to the fact that there is hardly anyone in there, and it is my new favorite place to be! ;o)

 On my way into the gym today I saw a regular customer from work (buffy customer) He said to me "you should come earlier, we could work out together!" heh. yeah. Cus I am on the same level as that! :)

 Anyway I worked out for 30 min today. I was kind of all over the place trying to check everything out. They have some nifty machine in there called the wave. I really like it. Tomorrow if I have time to go I want to do the weight machines.

 On the bad side, I weighed myself, clothes and shoes on and I got a read out of 175.0 I guess that is not horrible, compared to where I was, at home clothes off before my scale broke, but even so... blah. Onward and downward!

Keeping Up

 Life has somehow found a way to get in the way again. BUT this time, although I have not hit the gym, I have been keeping within my calories.... I found this awesome new site I like the best of any I have tried http://www.livestrong.com/myplate/ You can get it to tell you how many calories you should have a day, and then add in your foods, water intake, and even workouts and calories burned! I like it a lot. So all week long I have stayed within my calorie range. JUST barely a few days... but under none the less!

 I signed up for the womans only part of my gym. I will go tomorrow and try it out. I hope i love it. I have a co worker that has the membership and she loves it, so I am sure I will too.

 Other than that I have just been plodding along. My scale is broken so I cannot weigh in, which might not be a bad thing as I obsess, and its not really about the scale, its about how I feel and how my pants fit! So far so good, but this week I really hope to get both things going, eating right and working out!
