Well, I have to babysit today until 4 or 5. I’ll be an hour away from the gym and it closes at 6:30. I didnt get up early enough to go beforehand, it was a last minute favor. *sigh I guess I’ll just bring my clothes with me in hopes that I get done in time…I only need 45minutes! and to make things worse I’m going out to a club tonight…so going to the gym is needed that much more. Wish me luck!

Well, I missed my weight day yesterday because I wanted to sleep in. Today I didnt get out to the gym as fast as I would like…but after some comvincing of myself I took the dog out and went to th gym. My lower back was hurting on the rower..so that was sucky. I rowed for a whole 8 minutes! Then I just got on the treadmill and did 35 minutes of hill walking at 3.6-4.0..it was tough, I had it on the High hills setting. I didn’t exactly enjoy myself, but I did pretty good. Tomarrow is pilates-classes are a nice change.

Wow, I sure looked good back in April-compared to now.  I had lots of changes in my life sense then, and I let it all take me away from my fitness goals. I actually gained back about 25lbs of fat.  Well, I recently looked in the mirror and saw…all of it. I didnt like it. Now, I am getting back into things. I’m gonna have to take it slow and be patient. I havent had this much weight to lose in like 2 years…I dont want to have to do it again..it’s hard! However, I know I need to.  I will not be taking before pictures this time. I don’t feel that I need them.  I know what I look like and I really dont want to document it. Anyway, I’ve been exercising again for about a week and a half. I had a wonderful long cardio session for the week. I have been reminded of how much easier it is to eat well when I am also exercising. Ok…I’m gonna take it one day at a time!

got more reps out on my higher weight today AND got 3 sets of plyo-lunges in. I was worried i’d have to tone down training today because the DOMS hit me late in the day yesterday instead of in the morning. happy happy joy joy-i was back to normal this morning! then i walked to the grocerie store and back because it was such a beautiful day…so i really got an extra hour of cardio in. today kicks ass! now lets hope i keep the diet in check no point in ruining such a perfect day.

woo hoo my workout kicked ass today! i started using more weight with the same # of reps…so that friggin awsome. i really pushed my tri’s to the limit today as well as legs.  i’ve gotten quite efficient at plyo squats so i threw in some plyo lunges. just did one set but now i know i can do em! diet has been wacky lately but i dont think i did too much damage.  just in case i think i’ll go for a pm cardio tonight if i get back in time from visiting with dad. i feel pumped today…and i just know im gonna be dragging tomarrow morning from sore legs. last night i went dancing in some major heels and i know im going to pay for it. so….better get some fast cardio in while i can. i think i’ll just go at a nice slow speed tomarrow and tack on some more time to even things out.

the other day i freaked out and actually cried because i gained back my 1 pound that took 3 weeks to go away.  my wonderful bf told me to stop weighing myself so much and spouted off bits that we’ve all heard.  i knew these things already…i just never cared to follow them.  because i actually freakin cried…i figured maybe i should try lol.  so i put away my scale and its not allowed out until my weigh in day.  I was doing ok until now-thats why i’m writing this.  I am itching to weigh myself now.  i feel like a damn addict. i am at work now…but i just wanna run to the bathroom and whip out that scale when i get home! bf will be there with me tonight-so im hoping i’ll forget by the time i am home. i only have till monday to wait.  ugh…a whole weekend to get through…the time when i usually mess it all up. this weekend must be different though….must keep myself busy….no boredom binges this time….

Ahhh I just had to mention this.  I got my bf to take a couple pictures of my butt to show where I am starting from.  I’m like now make sure its at the right angle so you can see how its flat on the bottom! Trust me…its very flat on the bottom….thats why i wanted pics-so I’ll be motivated to change that. I rejected a couple trys and still ended up with something thats much better looking than it is.  My point is…I GUESS I JUST HAVE A PHOTOGENIC BUTT. and thats just fine with me

ok, well today i decided to pay an internet service to tell me what to eat. it kinda bothers me because i know perfectly well how to plan meals…i just dont want to anymore.  yesterday i at nothing but a bannana, a whole take out pizza throughout the day and some chocolates.  all because the thought of going to the kitchen and figuring out a real meal completely repulsed me.  i dont quite understand why…but obviousley i need help! i’ve done the internet meal plan thing before…and i think the fact that its right there ready for me will really help.  that and i paid for it-so im gonna do what they say. yay for frozen meals! i only have to cook half the time

Ah, tonight I did sort of a free form workout. it felt great to just do whatever came to mind with a focus on lower body strength and some shoulder rehab.  By the time I was done it had been just over an hour…and i dont know where the time went! I have gained weight in the last week or 2 but im pretty sure its muscle even though i’ve uped the cals.  we’ll find out tomarrow when i do an official measurement i think right now i just need to focus on what my body feels…its in an odd unbalanced state right now.

Well, The Big Climb for Leukemia is coming up in two weeks! I am exited to see how fast i can get myself up those stairs.  I only wish I had more pledges at this point. The thing is, most of my friends dont have any spare cash and I just hate asking people for money….argh.  Never the less I will try and hit up my boss for a pledge later…ha! He is the one who mentioned me getting in a company newsletter for doing this climb.  So now I am freaked out about getting a decent amount of $ so I dont look bad.
now c’mon…help a girl out people!  http://www.active.com/donate/2007bigclimb/bc07SStreib
