ONLY 2.2 LBS??!!?!? WTF!!!!

                 

What do you mean, I have only lost 2.2lbs?!?!?!

Do you have any idea how long I have been riding that bike and the gym??  

Do you realize that my butt and that bike seat are having a relationship without my permission??

How many dumb bells do I have to lift???

Do I have to write it down if I chew on my pen and count the points???

What the hell does it take to lose this damn weight???

Okay... okay....

Breathing....  In... Out... In... Out.........

I am a little bit frustrated.

Just thought I would let you know in case you didn't get that earlier.

Okay okay... 2.2 lbs is a good thing.

I will take it.

I just want MORE!!!!!

Breathing.....

It's just that I am trying so hard.

Maybe I just need to relax a bit.

What do you think???

I am taking tonight off from the gym.

Taking a walk in the morning to clear my head and think things through.

Maybe I am missing something somewhere.

I will check my food journal and start over fresh tomorrow.

I will also journal my training program.

We just started a new strength program... give it time to work.

Okay.. I am breathing again...

Sort of...

I will check in with you tomorrow after a good night of sleep and a few good sips of a vodka martini... Filthy ... Very Filthy!!

And no... I am not counting the olives tonight...

I have counted everything else!!!!!

Good Night!

Flat Tire

I didn't make it to weight watchers again!  I KNOW!!!  We had a flat tire.  No big deal.. Change it in the morning right? Wrong... The spare was flat!  I was so annoyed.  And this was a week that I was actually looking forward to weighing in. It had been a good week.  But oh well... such is life.

But I did make it to the gym 5 times last week!!

That is the least amount of time I am allowing myself to go.

This week I am trying for 6 times... I really do feel better after working out.

For the last two days I have been doing mainly cardio and I have been able to do 40 minutes on Cybex cycle from hell!!

It's quite the workout!!

I am going to add 10 minutes a week until I hit 1 hour, then I will start adding the elliptical to my workout too.

I hate that thing!!!

Cardio is going to become an everyday activity for me. Mostly at the gym but also at home. There is a park across the street from my home and it has a 1/3 mile track and a play ground that I can use as my own outdoor gym.

Also going to try getting up earlier in the mornings and going for a simple walk/stroll.  This will come in handy when summer gets to NM and it is hot by 9:30 in the morning.   

Walk a half hour in the morning

Eat a light breakfast

Go to the gym and get Cardio and Strength done 

This is a good way to start the day.

I think I can make this work.  It won't be easy. I am married to a person who HATES the morning.. so no support there.  He supports me... 

'Honey... close the blinds when you leave... it's too bright out there.  And have a good... (snoring noise goes here)'

So I was thinking about the things that my weight has kept me from.

here is my first top 10 list!!!

2.     SIT IN A THEATRE WITHOUT FEELING SCRUNCHED INTO MY SEAT. 

3.     WALK THROUGH A TURNSTILE WITHOUT HAVING TO WIGGLE THROUGH IT.

4.     WALK UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS AND NOT HAVE TO CATCH MY BREATH.

6.     BUY CLOTHES I REALLY REALLY LIKE!

7.     GET LOOKS WHILE WALKING DOWN THE STREET FOR HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM, NOT          BECAUSE OF MY SIZE.
