I hve been horrible. Bad work situation makes it hard for me to be disciplined. I think that I have worked all of that out. I just started Bill Phillips Transformation challenge. So I will be on here regularly. I am going to do this NOW. No more wavering. I will be taking pictures tonight and doing the measurements. You will definitely see me on here consistently. I can’t wait to get home from work to see all of my friends progress. I hope you all kicked butt. TTYL

I am working out daily. I do Turbo Jam at lunch with some coworkers. On days that we do not do TurboJam I lift weights. I am still not to the point where I am motivated by huge losses. But I am in a contest (2 actually) at work so I am trying to win both. We will see if I can pull it out. In one we had 9 weeks, I lost 3 pounds in the first 8 weeks. More emotional eating. But I have been eating right and exercising for the last 3 days and am going to try my best to continue that trend.

Wow, what a word. How hard is it to acheive? We will see. I got all the information from my trainer out. I miss working with him. But, I need the money more. I am buying a house in March, I hope. I need to conserve all the cash I can for that. I am trying to get out of the habit of eating when I am bored, depressed, upset…etc. I will only eat enough to feed my body the nutrients necessary to sustain an active lifestyle. Wow. This is going to be hard. In order to do it, I am taking a break. From life. I have a full time job, part time job, 2 dogs, and now working out and the weight loss challenge at work. I am going to concentrate on healing myself and feeling better about ME! Yes I am going to start with looking in the mirror and telling myself that I am beautiful, sexy, smart, funny, witty and any man would be extremely lucky to have me fall in love with them. I will not settle for second best. I will not allow myself to feel negatively about myself. I will do this many times a day until I believe it again. Small steps, but something I forgot in this bad relationship that I have been in. I can’t be in a healthy relationship until I love myself.

Well, I am here. I haven’t been doing well at all. I haven’t gotten back into a routine. I have a new workout buddy at work. We also have a new weight loss challenge. The winner takes 55% of the fees. It is $5 a week for 9 weeks. That may be enough incentive to get me going again. I also signed up for a 5k that is Saturday. It is a walk run one. So I am going to use this as my base as I will be walking most of it. Throughout the next year I will sign up for more with the goal to improve my time each race. I still need to lose 100+ pounds. Ugh!

I am moved. I still have some stuff in my old apartment. I now have a friend that is moving in to live there for the last 2 months of my lease. That will help out immensely. I was really worried about money. So now I don’t have to worry about money…but I have to go up there and get my crap.

Workouts have not gone well. My work sells workout equipment. They had a great workout room. They closed it down to re-do it. It is almost complete. There are weights in there but no cardio. That should arrive next week. So Monday I am going to bring my stuff. I am going to try and workout every night after work. I am also going to try and run my dog every morning.

I NEED to log my food intake to try and figure out what my triggers are. I keep overeating. Other than that I am doing well. How are all of you doing?

I move in 6 days. I am almost all packed. I have the movers set. I am ready. As soon as I am moved you will see regular posts again.

I got the job. I move in 24 days. I am very excited. I think this is going to be a good change for me. I already have a job, apartment, boyfriend. How could it not rock. There are 5 gyms within 5 miles of my new place.
