good exercise

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 04:34:40 GMT

I think that my new diet is really helping me to feel energetic. I got a good worout today. 40 mins on the eliptical and did sit-ups triceps and worked the chest our a little.

It was a nice work-out

I really enjoyed it a lot. I hope next time I enjoy it as much, sometimes its just kills to work-out or even dedicate time to it.

Anyway, I so ready to feel good and flexible and to feel good about myself, and its really all about feeling good and being healthy. I know its tough at first but when I'm down to my goal weight I know that it will mean the world to me. Getting married I gained about the highest was 30 lbs. I've taken 7 of that off so really I have about 23 lbs to lose until I'm back to my marriage weight.  I would like to go even further and lose 10-15 from there. I really don't know whether or not 135 for me would be really healthy but we'll see its always okay to gain 5 lbs from that spot and be 140, 140 is a descent weight for my build.

I never really had an enormous bottom, but in the past year and a half that's where all the extra lbs have been wanting to go. It would be nice to slim that down along with my tummy and arms. But mostly I would like to feel better and have more energy and think better and have less stress. I think I wouldn't be so stressed out if I didn't have so many toxins in my system.  Hopefully the next few weeks that I have off of work really give me the time and energy that I really need to spend on myself because its been all about the kids that I teach all year.

Getting in shape

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 04:31:58 GMT

I'm ready to take my life over. I'm sick of succumbing to my temptations, like pie or chocolate or yieling to sleep instead of burning off extra calories.

I am still the lovely 174 lbs and have not moved an inch from there because of my lack of willpower. But now its time to have willpower. I invested money in a new scale and in dance dance revolution to lose weight. I think the only reason my husband let me have it is because he has video games he's bought in the past and this is actually the first video game I've bought in my life. Although I must say that I love to play world of warcraft and take it over from my husband for hours.

But pretty much its time for a diet a lot of DDR and some weights to go between there.

Hopefully that will shrink my waistline a little. I'm worried about being too noisy for my neighbor downstairs though, so I will have to pick a good time to play. Maybe when I don't see her car in the drive or something like that.

Some thoughts

I'm brainstorming ways to lose weight that will be easy for me.

I'm thinking I'm going to get dance dance revolution for my hubby's x-box.

I wish I could take Tae Kwon Do and aerobic dance too though. We'll figure out a way. For now I guess its the dreadmill. There is snow out, and I'm not excited about snow, it drives me crazy.

Off track... on track...

It is crazy how things can get in the way of your goals. One moment I care then the next minute I don't. I did well for about a week and then STRESS. Yeah, the S word. I have been having a hard time the past few weeks. Bosses telling me the world of things to do. Always seems I can't do anything right.

Its starting to get to me and I feel so suffocated like I can't survive. Luckily though we get two weeks off work coming up and I get some me time just to take care of me. With all this paperwork and children who need help... it can make a person feel a touch crazy.

I'm working through this, goin to get myself back in perspective.

I wish I had a friend who wanted to do this with me, whose eyes were set on the same goals and enjoyed doing the same kind of exercise.

My new work-out journal

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 07:32:46 GMT

Coolness! I now have a work-out journal online. Now people can find out how good I am doing with my goals. How exciting.

Pretty much, I want to lose at least ten pounds by New Years day if not a couple more. From then on I want to continue in a healthy direction of losing weight. I want to strengthen myself and lower my cholesterol. I also hope to be a part of walkathons, 5ks, and other kinds of events. I would be really happy to participate in sports as well.

I am looking forward and hoping I end up in the right place. To be at a healthy weight I need to lose 30-35 lbs. I'll get there.
