Hey guys! I’m really proud of myself because I did really good today!

I woke up, ate me some cereal, Cleaned the house, ate a turkey quesadilla for lunch, and then I was sitting there being board out of my mind like I have been ALL week! Then I thought…

why not go to the gym? So that’s what I did! I got dressed and I went to the gym. I did one mile on the elipital and one mile on the treadmill. I was really proud of myself because I ran on the treadmill 0.20 miles at the speed of 6.3-6.5 no stopping! That’s almost a forth of a mile! I’ve never made it that far with out stopping and walking at least for just a little bit. So I was really happy about that. Then at the last 0.10 of the mile I ran at the speed of 8.0! I’ve never ran that fast before! So I was really proud of that. It was diffiently a challenge! I finished the mile in 15 minuets! which is 30 seconds faster then the last time I went to the gym, and 1 minute and 30 seconds faster then what I went the first time I went to the gym this week. So I exercised for 35 minutes after lunch.

I then  went back to the house, talked to my mom on the phone for a while, took a shower, watched a movie, then started cooking dinner. I cooked whole wheat pasta with spaghetti sauce and a salad. After that Billy and I went to the gym. I did half a mile on the treadmill, and 1 mile on the elipital for a total of 25 minutes.

So I think I did pretty darn good today! Hope you guys had a great day too!!!

I’m SO excited! I stepped on the scale this morning and I weigh 200.6!!! I’m only about half a pound away from those 100!!!! YAY! I’m running towards onderland!!!!

Oh speaking of running! I did great in the gym last night! I went 1.05 miles in 17 minutes! I was really proud of that! I also ran at 7.0 speed for 0.15 miles! So I was really proud of myself!

Hope you guys have a GREAT day!!!

Today was my 6th day on my 5 week challenge! And did great! I accomplished all of my to do list besides going up and down the stairs 3 times, and learning some French. So I’m going to do those tomorrow since I don’t have as much to do as I did today!

Hey guys! So this week for me it’s time to focus & get serious!!!!! I’m SO ready! I think Billy is to. We are ready to do this! I’ve wrote my Goals for the week, and my to do list for tomorrow! 

Oh I was going to tell you guys… I’m SO proud of Billy!!! lol… On Wednesday (the first day of our 5 week challenge) I caught him measuring his breakfast!  It was SO cute! Ever since I started measuring my food he has told me I was a dork. I’ve told him before he needs to measure his breakfast in the morning because that’s about the only food he fixes himself. And of course when I fix his food I’ll measure it all out for him. But he pours his own cereal. But he’s always told me he’s not a dork like me, and he’s not going to measure his cereal!  lol.. so I was in the bathroom one morning before I started getting my food. I heard him in there digging around in the draws banging around on crap. I came out and he started walking away. I kind of wondered what he’d been doing. Then it hit me He was measuring his food! So later that day I asked him if he measured his cereal. You could tell he was really embarrassed when he told me yes. I told him I was so happy and proud of him! I went on for a few minutes giving him hugs and telling him I was proud. He told me if I kept on he was not going to measure his food ever again! lol… he’s so goofy! The next day I found out that he is measuring his milk too! I’m so glad he started doing this

Hey guys! So today Billy and I went and picked up his car! He got it fixed!!! I hope it stays that way too! It ended up costing a little over $1,200. So we didn’t exercise tonight because after getting back home from going through rush hour both ways to pick it up, and come back it was already late. Then I cooked dinner, and after eating Billy wanted to drive his car around, and check it out to see if it was all fixed. But other then not exercising I did good today! I drank 100oz of water. I took my vitamins. I didn’t count all my calories because tonight I made home made pizza.There are 2 pizza crusts the package, and I was on my second one. But I forgot to keep the package saying how many calories there were in the pizza crust! But I ate 768 calories for my breakfast, lunch, and snack. So I’m sure I didn’t go over 1,500 calories with the pizza.

OH AND GUESS WHAT!!!!  lol… You know how I told you guys I weighed yesterday and I was 204.0? Well I weighed this morning and I was 202.2! yay!

Even though I didn’t go to the gym today I basically got an exercise after lunch! I decided I wanted to take pictures, and you know me when I get to taking pictures I do it for HOURS! It’s defiantly a work out going back and forth from the camera to the pose and then back again! I think I took pictures for about 3 hours.  I have two new pictures here on buddy slim. One is my profile picture, and the other one is one of my after pictures in my before and after section. If you guys think that the after picture is too revealing or offensive I will take it down. Just let me know …. Anyways here is a small amount of the picture I too today! Hope you guys enjoy!

How I did today with my challenge? Day 1

So today I weighed, and I was 204.0. I was actually really happy about that because of the .0! So I’m pretty close to 203! 

Today Billy worked from home which was nice seeing him all day Some of you might remember me writing about his car being messed up, well it still is. But we took it to the shop today after lunch, and let them take a look at it. They think it might be the clutch. Billy was afraid it might be mainly because he’s basically replaced everything else it could be. But he didn’t want to mess with it because of it being so hard to do. So he told  to fix it. It’s going to coast about $1,260! Billy just got a bonus though THANK GOD!!!!!! He got about a $900 bonus which he gets about 4 times a year. I was REALLY hoping to spend that money on Christmas presents cause it would help a lot, but it doesn’t always work the way you want it to ha? I’m just glad that we will be basically be out of $400 instead of $1,260 without the bonus.  

I took my vitamins today. I drank about 100 oz of water and I ate 1,521 calories today I about peed my pants when I figured up how many calories I had for lunch! I had 763 calories for lunch alone!!! I thought NO WAY I could have had that many. All I had was 2 hot dogs on a bun with Skyline (Cincinnati) chili and a little bit of shredded cheese! So I only ate 340 calories for dinner. But MAN did I get full! I had a really big salad with lettuces, cauliflower, and light Caesar dressing, and spaghetti. And let me tell you those 340 calories filled me up a hell of a lot more than that 763 calories! 

A little while after we ate Billy and I headed over to the gym to exercise. Well we get there, and there were a TON of people! I think they were all doing a get together and training type of thing. The gym at our apartment complex is VERY small. 2 treadmills 2 elipitcals, 1 stationary bike, and like 3 exercise machines. And there was somebody on everything! Plus a couple in the middle of the gym doing lunges! So we decided to walk, and run around our apartment complex. It was really hard because it’s SO cold outside! it hurt to breath! So we just did a couple laps, and ran a few times. We did that for about 25 minutes, then decided to come inside. So I think we did pretty good considering we could have just said “oh there are too many people in the gym… lets go home and sit on our butts and do nothing!”  

What are you doing today to contribute to your journey today and beyond?

Today I contributed to my journey by not sitting on my butt all day. I cleaned the house, and did laundry. I counted my calories, and I tried to make healthy choices. And when things didn’t pan out with the gym I decided to get my exercise in another way!

Hope you guys had a GREAT day!

Okay guys so here’s the deal! I’m making a personal challenge for myself. It will be a little difficult for me, but I’m going to try my best to do it! On the 10th of December Billy and I are going to go back to Oklahoma to visit family for Christmas. We are going to be there from December 10th (which is a Thursday) till January 2nd (which is a Saturday). So my challenge to myself is to lose 6 pounds before December 10th. Now I’m not exactly sure how much I weigh right now. I know on my weight ticker it says I weigh 201, but during the weekend (Halloween) I ate quite a bit of bad food. I weighed on Sunday and the scale said I weighed 204! And I haven’t exercised for Monday, and Tuesday. So tomorrow (Wednesday) I am starting my personal challenge to lose 6 pounds! That means I will have to lose 1 pound a week for 4 weeks, and 2 pounds one week. That’s a total of 5 weeks to get rid of those 6 pounds! So if my fears are discovered tomorrow when I weigh in and I actually weigh 204 when I lose 6 pounds from that I will be 199 pounds! Which means that I will have lost 39 pounds! And if tomorrow I actually weigh 201 pounds when I lose 6 pounds I’ll be 195 pounds!!! And I will have lost 43 pounds!

So wish me luck on my challenge!!! I’ll let you know how it goes

After write this blog I asked Billy if he wanted to join me and he said yes!!! So he’s going to shoot for losing 10 pounds! I told him I was going to shoot for losing 7 pounds then! That means we will be shooting to lose 3% of weight each!!!! SO WE NOW HAVE A CHALLENGE!!! I’M SO EXCITED!

If Billy loses 10 pounds he will weigh 308 pounds! and will have lost 56 pounds!!! YAY!!! this is just the excitement, and joint challenge I needed to keep me going!!!

I lost 2 pounds this week!!! YES!!!! I’m now 201… only 2 pounds from onderland!!! YES,YES, YES!!!!

He guys I wrote a poem When I was younger I wrote a lot of poems, but I haven’t wrote one in a very long time. But for some reason I was changing clothes, and  I went to look in the mirror to see how I looked, and rhymes started popping in my head. So instead of ignoring it like I sometimes do I decided to run with it. Hope you guys like it…..

The beauty of a child’s dreams.

Look into the mirror and tell me who you are.

Tell me who you want to be and where you’ve been so far.

Tell me what you see when you look upon yourself.

Does it hurt to look, or are you joyful with yourself.

Do you see past the reflection into your soul.

Do you see the inner you, your beauty as a whole.

Do you see in that mirror the child you use to be.

Or has that child’s dreams disappeared with life for nobody to see.

The innocence is gone, but that beauty still remains.

At least for me it does, and I hope for you it’s the same.

When you look into that mirror what does it show.

Does it show a life so vibrant, or a life that as sunk too low.

Look into the mirror and tell me who you “really” are.

Tell me have you lived your life how you’ve always wanted to so far.

Has life left scars on that little child’s dreams.

The ones that will never be fulfilled it seems.

Look into that mirror and see the beauty that you think life has stole.

Look into that mirror and know you can accomplish all of your goals.

Look into that mirror and have all of those dreams retrieved.

And know that you can accomplish them if you just believe.

hey guys… I’m feeling so yucky today Tom is here and I’m wanting him to leave soon! So I probably wont be on here much this week… Just thought I’d let you know.

I exercised really good on Monday, but yesterday I really didn’t feel like going to the gym. So we decided not too. I’ve got a raging headache, cramps, and sore all over. :(  I don’t like it one bit! All I want to do is go curl up in bed and sleep!

As some of you know I’m not really use to all of this. I was on the Depo birth control shot for 2 and a half years, and in that time my period stopped completely. I stopped the depo shot last December, and I’m just NOW starting to get my period back. So almost 3 and a half years with out one…  I think I was 16 when I’d got on the Depo shot. I don’t want it!!!! I just feel so yucky!!! I don’t know how well I’m going to do with my workouts this week….

Hope you guys have a great day!!!
