Blog Crazy

Today's Goals:
1200 calories, veggies only for dinner (or no dinner if home too late)
Gym it up tonight for 1 hour....30 min cardio, 15 min abs, 15 min arms and misc. (gettin gback into it after 4 weeks hiatus!)
healthy low carb foods only

Update tomorrow to see how I did! 9 weeks...gotta be committed! gotta be focused! 10 pounds to looosssseeeee!

PS- nothing will get you to the gym more than no water in your house...so might as well work out and shower tomorrow at the gym!

9 Weeks

Countdown...weeks in the single digits now. I am starting to sweat a little on my brow, but its not from working out! But that all changes this week. Gym 3x a week, and 1200 cals a day. Life have just been crazy lately! There is a lot to do for my work and for the wedding and I am just starting to feel a little stressed. But nothing de-stresses better than eating right and working out. I have 4 weeks till my next dress fitting...i hope to lose 8 pounds by then. that would put me in the 160s...I wouldn't mind being 165 at the wedding, but I think in 9 weeks I could be 160. That would just require focus. commitment. and will power. All of those I can do in the name of a knock out white dress and a skimpy bikini in Fiji. Yes? Just for like my Steelers...HERE WE GO!

Dang Flabbit

I am SO good during the week, and then ruin everything I did for that week with the weekend. Darn football season! So Basically I have lost NOTHING, but I haven't gained either, so...bright side. And honestly...i haven't been the gym in a WEEK (or more). So today i am getting on that treadmill once more, hopefully will stick to my at LEAST 3 days a week self promise. Sorry this blog has been just plain boring, i have had no real weight loss progress since the begining of August...those first 10 pounds were the easiest...now its slow goings. Well, I promise you all an eventful update by next monday or shiver me timbers I'll walk the plank!

Happiness!

You thought I meant about weight didn't you? Well let me tell you something. I had a bachelorette weeekend at the beach and blew my diet away!!! Like, whoa!! But, it was sooo totally worth it! I had the best weekend! and i have the greatest friends! :D So anyways, today I feel energized, and totally jazzed to look like the hot bride I know i can be! I havent eaten a lot today, going to get some salad for dinner, (J&P was closed for the past 2 months!! AHHH it was AWFUL!!) and plan on running 3 tmies this week....

Just for some stats, i started this thing at a size 14. Now I am a 10/12. I started at 185 and now am 173. I could only run for 10 minutes, now I can run for 30. Its small steps, but seeing progress. I need to hard-core diet/exercise for the next 2 weeks to jump start me into those 160s...hopefully no more surprise alcohol/junk food weekend excursions! well, I will def take then if they come along though! hahaha

ps- this has nothing to do with weight, but Andrew and I just got a wedding gift from his parents of the Resotriation Hardware Maxwell leather couch!! The most comfortable couch ever in the history of TIME!! I am SOOOO excited to sit in my new couch with my future husband!!! YAY!!!

Biggest Loser

So last night i watched my first ever episode of Biggest Loser. That show is SO intense, and I am not really sure if a believe even a 400+ pound man can even lose 30 POUNDS in 1 WEEK. That is crazy, and how can that be healthy?? But anyways, its TV, i get it, but whether its true or not, it really shows that you can be really successful with as much effort into the dieting that you put into it. With focus and determination ANYTHING is possible, absolutely anything.
Also, i am taking a mental image of Jillian with me to the gym, so when i hit that 30 minute mark after running and feeling tired and want to stop, I will see her yelling at me calling me weak, and I am going to do it! If i could be 155 for my wedding, I think that would be the most perfect thing eevveerrr....and weighed in at 173.2 this morning...the 160s are so close i can taste it! If i can be good this next week, perhaps next wed i will be there!

90 days

90 days. Pressure is REALLY on...I am still at 175 which is why my posts have been so few....but i have to be honest...i have been going to the gym sparatically, and prob eating maintenance calories of about 2000 a day. Well that is stoping TODAY...as 90 days is not a lot of time. 3 months and hoping to lose 15 pounds.

going to the gym today to rock the cardio...30 min runing, 10 min walking about, and situps/push ups.

Hoping to enthrall everyone with an awesome update in weight next monday!
