Back to Reality...

Welcom back to the struggle. A year has passed and I have made no progress. What's funny is that, While I want to write about it, I really don't. What's the point? I can't go back and fixed all the things that I did wrong. I can't back and eat right and exercise now... so let's just move on right?

I don't know what I'm going to do, but it better be good. My butt can't get any wider. The sad thing is that like most people, I know exactly what to do to be healthier. I just choose to play dumb. In essence, maybe I just don't want it right now... What do you think?

(Are) You losing weight?!?!

Today in class... it finally happened. One of my students said, "you (are) losing weight". WOO HOO!!! What's so funny is that I believe its come from me hitting the master cleasnse for a few days... my own tweaked out version. I've been still working out for 30 mins a day as well. I have to say the detoxing/cold turkey thing works. I am now on day 3, and I don't crave sugar at all. If I had a choice, I'd pick real food now!!! Yeah!!! So here's what I'm going to do for the next week or so. I plan to work myself back into eating low fat, small portioned meals.

Through Thurs: I will continue to drink the Master Cleanse Lemonade. I get up to 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth or veggie broth a day. All the water I can take. 30 mins of exercise.

Starting Friday: I will add sugar free jello!! I also will increase the amount of broth I can have daily. All the water I can take. 30 mins of exercise.

Starting Monday: I will be doing a fruit and veggie only diet. I will have broth as well. All the water I can take. 45 mins of exercise.

Dull-drums

There's nothing new to report. I kinda slacked off on the workouts this past week, but I guess 120 mins is better than no mins. My eating habits sucked really bad this week :( I fell off the ice cream band wagon. I swear I need to go into rehab... no lie!!!

I did go back to work last week. I'm in class Mon-Thurs at 8am YUCK!!!! I mean really how bad is that... less than 3 hrs a day and only 4 days a week. I just haven't taught a class that started before 11am since 2002 or 2003. But its not bad at all. I like getting the work done early and chilling the rest of the day. I'm the same way with my workouts too though. I complain about getting up early, but once I'm out of the bed, I'm okay. I don't drag around and complain all day about how I wish I could have slept late. Its just the idea of the alarm going off at 6am that gets to me.

Scale??

DO I really need a scale? I know I should get one, but I don't want to spend the money. Plus I think if I get one, I'll become anorexic or develop body dismorphic disorder. Numbers are never accurate for me anyway. At my slimmest no one would ever believe that I still weighed over 190. I have GREAT muscle mass! Its just that at the moment, too much fat is covering it. I dunno, maybe I'll change my tracking from pounds to inches. That'll be better, pounds just don't mean much to me.

I worked out today... 60 mins. I did my cardio box workout mix for 50 mins. Then I did an additional 10 mins of handweights and then a few mins of stretching after that. I don't count the stretching in my workout time.

Monday... Yuck

Well, its Mon.

I had my interview with BBBS. I'm hopeful that everything will move along fairly quickly. I was told that it may take as few as one month and up to 4-5 mos to make a match. I'm excited about being a big sister.

I have no plans to work out today. I did workout Sat. for about 50 mins. I did the cardio box dvd... 2 upper body workouts, 2 lower body workouts, 1 core/abs workout. That's the cool thing about that dvd; its divided into 10 minute segments. So I double sections up if I want to extend beyond the 30 min total workout time. I'll be working out the remainder of the week...
well that's my goal.

Yawn, time to take a nap.

I worked out...

Today was pretty good. I still haven't had any white stuff or sugar. I worked out today too!! It was cool, my jogging is coming along. I've been doing a good mix of jogging and walking. It was nice and breezy today as well. So that worked out well. I'm feeling pretty good about my workout schedule. I actually went out around 11:30am instead of in the evening. I've always been more of a morning workouter... so this is better for me. That's my goal for the week: morning workouts only!!! Oh yeah, between working out and my meals, I've had over 70 oz. of water today. Woo Hoo!!!

I have an interview on Monday with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. I want to volunteer and be a mentor. So I'm excited about that.

A-Ok so far...

I think I'm doing okay. I'm still going strong with no sweets and no processed white stuff. I have been eating more salads, so that's good.

Yesterday I did 60 mins at the track. They day before I did my cardio-kickbox DVD. So the exercising has been going okay. I'm supposed to be doing the DVD again today.

I went to Screen on The Green this past Thurs. It was awesome! It's sponsored by Turner Classic Movies... they showed The Wiz! It is a free event in Atlanta's Piedmont Park. It was so much fun. There is a concert at 7pm-ish and the movie begins at dark, around 9pm. You're free to have food and drink and people did. The audience was into the movie as well, singing along and such. Next week the movie is Ferris Bueller's Day Off and my friend's and I are planning a great picnic with Uno cards to fill in the time before the movie.
