I suprised myself this thanksgiving by sticking to my exercise.  I also managed my eating fairly well.  I enjoyed some things without going overboard.  I don’t feel deprived and now I am ready to get back on track, clean things up and see what I can make happen in the next month.

 I feel good about my progress.  My clothes are beginning to feel to and some of them I can’t even wear anymore because they are so lose it looks tacky.  My skinny jean are tight as heck but hey at least I can get them on. 

I have a feeling that I can make it to 155 pds by the end of the year if I try extra hard.  I will love to be 155 because this will give me that canvas I need to start working on that dream, extra toned, maybe competition body.  I was going to check my weight tommorrow but I think I am going to hold off on that and give myself a week to get back to normal.

I really want this next weigh in to give me some extra motivation to crack down and do some serious work.  I want to be 164/165 by the end of the week.  This will give me that edge because I will only have to lose @ a rate of 3pds/ wk to reach my goal. 

We shall see!

I woke up by 4am this morning feeling so good, I didn’t know what to do with myself.  If this was my 24hr fitness days, I would so be @ the gym!  Most people don’t know this but,I lose all my inhibitions an hour after I wake up.  This is the time I am most vulnerable.

I decided to visit the different websites I check on a daily basis, facebook, bodyspace, e-mail and when I got to myspace I was confronted with the Jack in the box new homestyle chicken buscuit!

Man, that stuff looked good. I literally wanted to grab my coat and go get it right away (at 4:30am).  You see, I have been eating very right and working out lately and I wake up hungry!  About 30 secs into this feeling of “I am awake, I feel good and I WANT SOME Jack Chicken Buscuit” I realized how this ads really do work.

Needless to say, I just chuckled to myself and decided to write a blog.  Vulnerable or not I am not falling into that trap!  Nice people on bodyspace are tracking my transformation update and I wont jeopardize that.  At least not that easily.

First of all I just want to say this site is FREAKING AWESOME!  I haven’t heard so many encouraging words and see so many collections of people willing to be honest about their goals.  I am so impressed!  I usually work out in the evenings but I was so motivated that I worked out this morning.

My iPOD died in the middle of my workout and I noticed my intensity drop by 30%.  I went from enjoying rocking out on the bike to a very dreadfull elliptical workout and the difference was music.  I finished the workout thankfully but, man, it took a lot out of me.

I am excited to actually record my progress.  I hope this will give me that extra motivation to be consistent!  I actually started Oct 1 at an alarming 180 pound.  I got down to 169 by Oct. 22 and somehow managed to go back up to my current weight 173.5.  I would like to be about 158 by Dec. 31.
