| One month tomorrow! |
So tomorrow I will be weighing and measuring! I am excited. I have consistently worked out 3 times per week, I have eaten more healthy (with a few slip ups here and there) and have all around being doing so much better taking care of myself.
I recently joined 24 hour fitness, its funny how challenging it is to workout in front of a lot of people you don't know. Usually when I workout alone I tend to give up sooner. Tonight when I went to workout I did the ellyptical (don't know how to spell that!) for 30 mins all at once. Usually I can't go any more after 15 minutes! I am also looking forward to doing the classes, I haven't ventured out to do that quite yet.
I will be posting my measurements tomorrow and my weight too!! |

| And the semester begins! |
It has been a few days since I have posted -- I have been BIZZY! To be honest I have felt really bad for having not posted... but it is going to be hit and miss for the next couple of months. Now, if you're reading this and thinking "this girl is crazy, nobody reads this thing, she has no reason to feel bad for not posting!"... I don't feel bad because of what other people think, I just don't want to let myself down. I will most definitely post the updates on my weight and especially on the 1st, 2nd and final weigh-in (and if I reach my goal!).
This semester sure did start with a bang, I'm trying to handle a full load and full time work, my dad moved home from Cali and I am taking care of his dog, Mister Wright (cute name, huh!). Mister and Precious are like long lost brother and sister... there aren't alot of dogs that either one of them get along with, but they are like 2 peas in a pod. Here are a couple pics of Precious helping me with my homework tonight (Mister was off sleeping under the bed while P and I were hard at work).
As for my health, I started a cleanse today. It is all taking pills, it's called the Whole Body Cleanse and I bought it at Wal-Mart for $17.98. We will see how it goes! I am approaching day 30 of starting this weightloss program, I should be 1/3 of the way to my goal... that means I should be at least 150lbs by Feb 4th. I think I will be there, if not I will be close! I will be measuring myself on that day too - I have NO idea what my measurements will look like.
I think that is about it for the night! Just saw on the weather that we could have snow on Thursday! Yipppee!!
I am going to kick the pants off of this week!

| I took a hammer to my bedroom wall. |
I have this terribly annoying problem. My neighbors like to "do their laundry" very loudly. I am talkin' loud. Their effing headboard bangs against the wall so hard that it shakes the decorations I have hanging on the wall above my bed. I've talked to the property manager about it, I've banged my fists against the wall while simultaneously screaming at the top of my lungs "Come on, really?!"... My property manager suggested that I call the police. What would I do, call 9-1-1 and say what... "Hi, I know you have murders and burglaries that you have to respond to, but can you tell my frisky neighbors to make some different bedroom furniture arrangements?"... No. So tonight I took the matter, rather, the hammer into my own hands. As soon as I started to hear the all-too-familiar sound of their headboard banging against the wall, I grabbed my hammer and went at it. I hammered the wall as hard as I could without doing too much damage. It worked! Ahhh, silence. I hope they get the message and fung shui their bed to another wall.
On another note, I have picked myself up from a terrible weekend of food cheating and told my junk food urges where to shove it. I have a terrible headache for a number of reasons, maybe it's a carb hangover from the weekend? Not sure, but I feel good about my food consumption. I am also contemplating joining 24 hour fitness, I am getting tired of the same ol' apartment workout gym machines. I need more! I would like to do kick boxing or a spin class.
Hope everyone has had a fantastic beginning to their week!

It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

| I may have failed, but I am not a failure! |
I slept through most of my weekend it feels like. I admit it, I cheated my ever loving face off on Friday night and Saturday night. This is something I wouldn't normally admit to anyone, but I feel like having complete honesty on here will only help me to realize the problem I have with food. When I am not my happiest, planning a nice lil fast food trip cheers me right up. Friday night I was already in for the night, I had rented a few movies and was settled in. I wasn't happy with just that, so I decided to get out into the cold and stop by Sonic. I got a crispy chicken sandwich with fries and a small ice cream thingy. It gave me something to look forward to that evening. Then Saturday night after an evening of celebrating with cocktails and time with friends, I stopped by Whataburger on my way home... I ingested 2 potato taquitos, 2 hasbrowns and a cinnamon roll. Ugh, I want to crawl into a hole I feel so bad for what I ate. I am an emotional eater - happy or sad... it doesn't really matter, when I celebrate or when I mourn I want food to be a part of it. Food and I have an extremely unhealthy relationship.
Anyway, I made my lunches for the week: cabbage and tomatoe soup. I also made my low carb breakfast burritos tonight. It almost felt like I erased some of the guilt from this weekend by preparing my lunches and breakfasts for the week. When I wake up in the morning and head out the door to workout, it will erase a little more of the guilt.
Here's to a kick-ass week.

| Retail therapy does a body good! |
I have definately decided that going forward I will be working-out in the mornings. I don't care how early I have to wake up! Working out in the evenings kicks my ass in the worst way. I am going to stop complaining about it and learn my lesson. So glad that tomorrow is Friday - I don't have alot to look forward to this weekend, but whatever does take place...I hope it is spectacular.
My workout this evening was frustrating, I bought this arm band thing to hold my phone steady so I can listen to music... it wouldn't stay on my arm, the songs I was listening to wouldn't shuffle and most of all I couldn't stop looking at my damn belly - It's like I have this left-over fat girl reminder. It's that area right above my belly button that when I put on a snug t-shirt it looks like this huge concave divot with dimples. Haha, all I want is for it to flatten the heck out! Maybe I need to tone down my expectations, it's only been about a week and a half since I started working out - I am sure I will see it flatten out soon enough... patience definately is a virtue. Haha!
I decided that my poor skin just couldn't handle tanning tonight after my workout, I found myself driving around with no point.. I stopped and got gas, grabbed a lunchable... I decided that I would like to snag a cheap piece of clothing from Ross... and that I did! I tried on butt lift jeans, lord knows I could use any help in that area... I didn't try on just one pair but dang near 30. I also tried on a couple of dresses, ugh.. scratchy polyester and denim are not made for burned skin... I eventually found a cute little, uh, long vest thing for 8 bucks.. I don't know how to describe it, but it's cute! It just so happens to pair nicely with my gray high heels. I also found a pretty cute t-shirt perfect for my work-outs... just $2!
Anyway, enough about the aesthetic. Going to hit dream world.

| My rolls itch... |
Don't get me wrong, I am in great spirits today! Being that I work very early for the next couple of days, I had to work out last night instead of this morning and I will have to do the same tomorrow night... it really made me feel drained! I didn't have the same amount of energy throughout the day.
On top of that I tanned and I am ITCHING LIKE CRAZY! I hope I get some sleep tonight, this itching had better not keep me up! On a positive side note, I am pretty sure I am addicted to this low carb smoothie at Smoothie King. It's called The Gladiator and it tastes delicious! It only has 3 carbs in the largest size (literally it is like a 1/2 gallon of smoothie goodness). So glad Sarah suggested this smoothie at lunch yesterday.. now I am going to be finding reasons to stop by Smoothie King :)
Short and sweet - goodnight!
