breakfast not so much

5 minute warm up + 10 minute brisk jog, set personal record of 1.517 miles + 5 pushups + 5 situps (no ball)


apparently I can't run without having had my shake... at the last leg of my warm up, my tummy went "are you freaking crazy!?!?!??" and tried to toss up my vitamins... fabulous... so I chugged a shake and went along my merry way with my jog.... really sweaty again, LOVE IT

this is better than coffee :)

workout with Autumn D

5 minute warm up + stretch + 15 minute FAST elliptical.... the fitness center at my complex just installed two ellipticals. It's FABULOUS!! I was red faced and sweaty at my 5 minute mark.

Breakfast again was a slimfast shake... leftover vanilla...

Autumn D came over at 11 like we'd planned. We were supposed to go swimming after running... but she forgot her swim clothes :( it's okay though, I had a second reason to NOT go swimming. We did some light yoga after (she actually ellipt'd for 25 minutes!! she went straight through while I was stretching) and  I made some HEARTY biscuits and gravy...

come to think... Have you ever eaten something and choked it down just to be polite? I understand the niceties and I do appreciate it... but how is food supposed to get any better if no one is brave enough to mention that there's something missing? I would honestly like to know if I've made something that you aren't a fan of; and I can make you something else, or there's plenty of frozen food, too. If you don't like it, you really don't have to eat it. (I'm being totally sincere here, I'm not trying to be snippy or sarcastic at all.)   Secondly, if you're full, don't continue eating. Don't eat til you're stuffed, don't lick your plate clean if you really can't bear to eat any more. Don't push your stomach. If it's really uncomfortable with your jeans, you've already gone too far.

take with food

ALLO!

Got up this morning at 9 am!!! Even though Husband and I were both able to sleep in, we just couldn't sleep past 9.
Breakfast was a shake, as usual... however, I didn't drink it til 10 when, after taking my vitamins and that green tea supplement, I began to feel nauseated. The label says to TAKE WITH FOOD... I don't usually HAVE to with any other  medications, like some pain killers, but this green tea stuff is WHOA. As soon as I chugged that shake, my tummy was quiet :)

5 minute warm up + stretch + began a 20 minute jog, accidentally quit out at 5 minutes, so I went back to a 10 minute jog and pushed my time a little harder + 6 minutes of INTENSE hula hooping (3 minutes on each side) + TEN OF EACH sit ups and reverse crunches on the ball AS WELL AS TEN MODIFIED PUSHUPS immediately following my hulahooping. YAY FOR INTENSITY!

I had a first today: sweat dripping down my face. I love this!!!

Lunch today will be some Orange chicken IN THE OVEN and some Patty-made fried rice

Dinner may be something from Buffalo Wild Wings... something light, likely... because there may be more cake!


My husband is awesome, by the way... you're totally jealous :)

BIRTHDAY STUFFFFF

Got up late this morning (11am) for no good reason other than my birthday :D  Husband had the day off because of the weather... so I kicked him off the computer after having my vitamins and breakfast shake.

5 minute warm up + stretch + 20 minute jog + stretch + 6 minutes hula hoop + 5 ball sit ups + 5 reverse ball situps 

I looked at my progress on the Wii. (It's something nice about the console.) Since Jan 17, I've been working out every day. Now, I'm not pushing myself too hard, not burning out or anything. And I take Sundays off most weeks, but I still feel static and hyper because I have all this energy now... And since Jan 17 I've gone between 187 and 194. Today, I weigh 190.5 pounds. We also put Pookie on the Wii board. She weighs 13 pounds. I love my furry basketball :) 

Pookie at 8 weeks in 2005

super sweaty

GOOD MORNING! ... wait... ok... good afternoon

So I got up late (11am) because the husband was dealing with some allergies in a very noisy way last night. And I found myself famished around 4 am, too. So I busted out the breathe-right strips and ate a banana with a VERY cold glass of milk. (so cold)
Breakfast was a 200 calorie shake. MMMMM!! Along with ANOTHER banana.
5 minute warm up + stretch + 20 minute jog (2.887 miles!!) + stretch + 6 sit-ups + 6 mintues hula hoop
wiiFit says I lost two pounds since yesterday!!

I feel disgusting but I LOVE IT


Current weight: 191

wiiFit remorse

I'm thinking the wiiFit might not be enough... I'm loving the workout IN MY HOME, with the humidifier going so I can breathe... but should I be on a treadmill?

2/22

5 minute warm up jog, stretch + 20 minute jog + 5 consecutive situps... wasn't that sweaty though. I want to  improve my situps, maybe get to 30 without stopping?

Shake for breakfast, too... which is really easy to stick with :) the strawberry flavor is YUMMY!! Pot pie in the oven for lunch, as well as a banana and some yogurt. I have no idea what's in store for dinner... my lunch and breakfast are already late today. Maybe I'll grab a sub on the way to worship practice? 

Definitely putting some brownies in the oven tonight though :D 

wiiFit said I lost 1.8 pounds. I've been doing the wii at the same time every day to keep things accurate... 

mission statement

so... I'd like to lose at least 50 pounds... but let's be realistic. I want to lose ONE pound and KEEP IT OFF!! It's driving me crazy. I'll start one day three pounds lighter, then the next day will show I've gained it all back with extra!! What's the deal?

This is why I'm going to journal EVERYTHING that I eat and EVERY movement I make. I have a pedometer, and I've gathered resources to count calories... something I've been against for years.

Current weight: 194
Goal weight: 144

BMI information is of the opinion I should be around ten pounds lighter than my goal weight. I'm expecting to gain muscle though this journey, however... whee





GOAL   TO BE THE SIZE I WAS IN THIS PHOTO

today, I did a 5 minute warm up run at my "ideal" sprintish level, then I stretched my legs... apparently if I don't, it makes my ankles and toes and everything hurt :( Followed this with a 10 minute brisk jog... because I looked at the clock screaming 9:23am at me, realizing I didn't have time for my usual 20 minute jog.
I had that wonderful strawberry slimfast shake for breakfast, I double them up because I can never seem to not be starving after only one. (wonderful sentence structure, eh?) I took my vitamins this morning, as well as this green tea weight loss supplement I'm trying... let's see if it helps any...

the Wii console said I gained .2 pounds since yesterday... let's hope it's just the muscles growing in my booty
