Yikes! I am another year older today, but finally moving towards my fitness goals. Aging isn’t really a process that I am totally comfortable with….but I guess it is much better than the alternative! Every Birthday I tend to reflect alot, and I’m a little dissapointed with myself that it has taken me so long to start really working hard, but I guess its better late than never! I have become so dedicated that I cancelled lunch with my friends so I could get to the gym.  I think I am finally getting the ‘gym addiction’, and I’m loving it!!

Soooo….I’m on a two month streak (for me that’s good, quite sad I know).  I have been eating clean (mostly) and working out hard! I think my supplements are finally helping and I’ve got the dosages down.  I have lost 12lbs since Christmas day and I feel great about it! I keep telling myself…the first day of summer is in 111 days, and I can get to where I want as long as I stay focussed! Everyone’s Blogs help keep me motivated on the days that I am cranky and don’t want to work out…So a big THANK YOU to all of you!!

I have doing great the last 2 weeks, eating clean, working out hard, staying on top of sleep and supplements…Now I have a set back and I’m freaking out!! I went to the Dr. on Friday only to learn that I have a UTI/Kidney Infection.  I feel like Sh*t…the only things I want to eat are bread and pasta, and I am seriously feeling sorry for myself.  I haven’t been to the gym in 3 days and I feel AWFUL about it!!! I want to work out today, but not sure if I am pushing myself too much??? Seriously pissed off and I just want to feel better!!!

Well, I have been away from this site for quite some time, as well as being away from a healthy lifestyle!! I have put on some weight, nothing substantial, but enough for me to know that it is time to smarten up!!! At my heaviest, I was up to 143lbs!!!!! I have started back on a healthy regime and am down to 135.5lbs.  I am going to be in between 110-115lbs by July - I have made that guarantee to myself!

Here’s to everyone’s success (including my own!) in 2008!

Been gone for a while, feeling sorry for myself and not being a very happy camper! I’ve decided to suck it up, and i have been back in gear for a couple of weeks now - taking a bit of a different approach, not being quite as tough on myself.  I am eating well - in between 1200-1550 cals per day, tracking everything.  My carb intake has been a little high lately (about 200 grams), however I find my energy drops through the floor when I really resctrict carb intake, so I am doing what makes my body feel good, even if it takes a little longer to lose the weight I want.

I have also started a boxing conditioning class.  I go twice a week with my girlfriend and we do circuits with boxers/kickboxers that are actually competing.  It’s an awesome workout! I am walking 30-60 minutes per day (to and/or from the train station), I am incorporating yoga twice per week - and I am yet to add some weight training…any suggestions???   

I had my first cheat meal this evening, and I feel like I could just die.  I am bloated, have the worst stomach cramps, and diarrhea (sorry tmi). My poor body must be pissed at me - I’m sorry stomach, I truly am…

This is my first week of my nutrition program, and I am pretty hungry, is this normal???

Here is a breakdown of my average day:

Meal 1: 6 egg whites, 1/3 cup oats, 1 tbsp sugar-free syrup, green tea

Meal 2: Cottage cheese, 3 tomato-basil rice cakes

Meal 3: 3 oz lean protein, veggies

Meal 4: 3 oz lean protein, veggies

Meal 5 (post-workout): 15 almonds, 1 piece of fruit

Meal 6: 3 oz lean protein, veggies

Am I eating enough food? Thanks!

I just got put on a meal plan by my trainer, and so far it has been going well, really well actually - it has been 6 days, and that may be the longest that I have stuck to anything! He has given me 1 cheat meal per week, which I am having tomorrow - but I am petrified that I will fall off the wagon as soon as I have something fatty and delicious! Any advice????

Thanks!

After my weekend of atrocities - I am back at it, and I am feeling better than ever! I just had my breaky - a bowl of plain oats with 1/2 cups raspberries, 2 cups of water, and a small tea with skim milk and vanilla syrup (I need something sweet), and it was so f’n good! My week is insane, so I may not be able to get to the gym that much this week, but I am doing little things like taking the 12 flights of stairs at work, and really focusing on cleaning up my eating.  I have become nice and used to my supplements, and am having no ill side effects. 

Supplements today (so far):  Lipo-6 = 2, Ultra Mega Multis = 2, CLA = 2,              Thyroid Energy = 2

So, okay - last week was coming along quite nicely, until Friday hit - I was in bed all day with a killer migraine, needless to say, I didn’t take any supplements or work out. When I got up, I was ravenously hungry for junk food, and thus continued all weekend.  I had 6 (unhealthy) meals out in 3 days, then went on a drinking fest.  Yikes!!

The other thing I did this weekend was go to a casting call for a weight-loss show. They said that call backs will be on March 17-18, and to not attempt to lose any weight before then.  I had a lot of tough competition, so I don’t think I will make it - but for the little spark in me that thinks I might, it seems to be halting me from making any healthy choice.

WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?!
