I am happy to say I went to the gym Saturday and Sunday. I am not happy to say that I ate some serious caloric cookies Sunday but I will not do that again. MOVING FORWARD!!!
I also ran up and down the stairs a few times yesterday.
I went to the gym this morning but the big treadmill was not working so I got on the elipt, small treadmill for 5 min and the bike for 5 and did arm weights. I need more cardio this week if I am going to lose 4 pounds. It is going to be cold the weekend so I am not going to the park. I need more cardio!!
I lost 3 pounds WOOOOHOOOOO back to 373 thank God. I want to lose 4 pounds this week to get out of the 370's. I can do it with a lot of exercise. I can do this!!!! I have 14 pounds to lose 100 pounds. I can't wait. My goal is to do this my the end of next month. I can do this!!!
459-376-373-370-365-360-355-350 WOW it is so much closer.
I was so excited I went to 2 run and walk stores to look for some good shoes. I found them at Metro Run and Walk so I will go pick them up today. I also went to the gym this morning. I did 2 min on the elipt, 22 min treadmill and lat pull down machine. I will walk at home for 15 min while Oprah is on and do floor exercise w/my child this evening. Oh yeah run up and down the stairs a few times.
I LOVE IT!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE GYM EVERYDAY!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :faint: I'M GOING WALKING TOMORROW MORNING AND BACK TO THE GYM ALSO!!!! I really need to get an ipod so I can have the music I want.
I was 379 and now I am 376 WOOOHOOO I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. I just knew it was going to be down 8 or 9 pounds but I am ok. I am going in the right direction and have a new workout routine. I want to be out of the 370 by the end of this month and it is doable. I am going to stay positive and focused. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Angelburch you are too funny but yes I am a morning person. I wish I could stay in the bed until 9am but I think it is just a waste of time. My body wants to get up so I am glad that I am motivated to do something now when I get up. I was getting up at 5:30 now I get up at 5am.
I was in the gym at 5:50 this morning and did 1 minute and a half on the eliptical. I increased my time by 1/2 minute LOL. I did 15 min on the treadmil and did 2 arm machines and 1 leg. When I got home yesterday I walked in place watching Oprah for 15 minutes and ran up and down the stairs about 12 times total for the evening last night.
I think I will go back to the gym and get on the treadmill or ride the bike for 15 minutes at lunch. I love the pull down machine. I saw results from the machine before and it really gets rid of the rolls.
I weight in tonight and I am really excited. My last weight in was 379 on 12/19.
First day at the gym. WOOHOO I'm so happy. I didn't do much but it was a start. Elliptical for a minute, treadmill for 1/2 mile, lap pull down machine and quad lift machine. I hope to go back at lunch time.
I miss being to read and respond the to journals. Keep pressing forward guys. You ard doing a great job not smoking, eating right, and don't forget to Live Life Now. That is my motto for this year.

Thank you guys for all that love. I really needed that. I hope the weather is nice this weekend because you guys are inspiring me to go for 6 miles again Sat and Sunday.
I won't be around as much. I am moving to another office so if I don't respond immediately, just remember I am still cheering for you and I will respond as soon as I can.
I am so thrilled with myself that I walked 6.4 miles Saturday. The day was just perfect weather for walking. Not cold and not to warm, just right. That was 2 times around the infamous HP. I am so happy that I did it. I have been afraid to do it thinking that I couldn't. I am so pleased and it really helps to know that I can do it without dropping dead or stopping. I hold myself back mentally so much. I want to push through all these personal holds. I have to. I have goals. I have to lose weight to live the life that I want.
I will be 40 in 7 months. That is suppose to be the best birthday. I want to be happy and have a great birthday.

I was all in a good mood. I just realized I gained a pound last night. Whatever, I'll just say mother nature did it.
God is Good....what!.....I said GOD IS GOOD.....Can I get an ALL THE TIME!!!
HAHAHAH
I'm in a good mood right now. Knowing that you are not alone, knowing that you are not the only one going through some rough times is comforting. Tomorrow is not promised so I might as well be me and keep smile through it all. Because guess what....God Is Good All the Time..YES
