Fricking awesome

I am down 3 pounds today! I am so happy I could shit! I firmly believe I owe it to using the elliptical in the morning. I have been getting up early and working out for 20 minutes the past 3 days. It is a small tweak, but it sure seemed to pay off. I am going to keep it going and see how I do next week! :D

I did it!!

I got up this morning and used the elliptical! Granted I was going to begin this like 2 weeks ago, but I got sick right after the New Year. I was also waiting to get new shoes, but stupid Kohl's hasn't had any really good sales on shoes yet. What are they waiting for?! So right now I am just going to have to keep lugging one pair of shoes around until I have 2 pairs for working out. Pretty annoying, but worth it!

New Years Resolutions

Yes, I know I make these every year and never seem to quite follow through with them. This year will be different, I promise!! Here goes!

1. I want to work out for at least 30 minutes every day with a break here and there. If I can do more than 30, great. But if I don't do more, the minimum is 30 no matter what. (I will be starting this as soon as I get over my cold!)

2. I want to run in at least one 5k this spring/summer/fall. At some point in 2009 I am going to enter a race.

3. I want to stay on track with WW. I am never going to lose the weight unless I control my cravings. The first step in losing weight is diet diet diet!!!

Wish me luck!!

The holidays ruin my diet

The past week has been the worst week ever for me. I drank the past 6 days straight and ate enough food to feed a small army. I do not feel well today. I feel really bloated and worry that I could possibly have gained back all the weight I have lost. Granted it was only around 6-7 pounds, but I don't want that back!

After the 1st of the year I am back on it 100% and then some. I am getting brand new shoes for working out so I can have a pair at home and a pair in my car. That way I can workout at the gym or at home and don't have to worry about forgetting my shoes. NO EXCUSES!! I am excited to "start over" after the holidays. They were rough!!!

Holy bad weekend batman!!

This was the worst weekend I have had in a long time! We ate out Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This will surely bite me in the ass later. I knew this time of year was going to be rough. I just hope I don't gain back the few pounds I have lost. That is my ultimate goal. I know I will be back in full force after the first of the year. I am definitely going to work out more and try harder to watch what I eat. No more excuses!! :)

Wine ruins my life

So I drank waaaaay too much yesterday at the holiday lunch. I did so well with the food, but then of course someone busted out some wine. I ended up drinking almost 2 whole bottles by myself. NOT NECESSARY. It was fun, but I am sure I am not going to love the repercussions from it. Why did there have to be wine there? There was beer, which is easy for me to turn away since I don't like it. This will likely be my downfall at weigh-in next week. Gotta learn to control myself better!!

Weigh In Day

Today is our WW group's weigh in day. I was down exactly 1 pound from last week so I am super stoked today! YAY! The bad news is that we have a holiday lunch today and tomorrow. So that could screw me over a bit. I am going to try and eat everything in moderation though. Tomorrow will be easy since it is Famous Dave's and I don't really like BBQ. I don't want to just eat cornbread though either...... ;)
