Vacation bound and eating like a hound!!

OMGosh!! I am having a major eat everything in site day!! :o( I am heading to Chicago tommorrow and by the way I am eating you would think I was already on vacation. Well I am not!! :o) I think I have been worried about my eating while I am on vacation and the possiblity of gaining weight and there for I have stressed myself into eating alot now!! The good thing is I am not eating stuff that is really bad for me I am just eating good stuff in excess, which is never good! There is nothing I can do about what I have already consumed, so I am going to try to not let it get me down and jsut focus on the days ahead. I am going to go into this vacation prepared to watch my portion size but that is it. I am just going to enjoy myself and the food. I will just have to work alittle harder when I get back!!



On a totally different note, Blake and I got approved for the apartment we want to move into!! YAY!! We are so excited, but when we call today to see if we were approved the lady told us yes but we can only hold the apartment for 15 days! WHAT!?! 15 DAYS!! Well we were alittle in shock because our lease isnt' up until the end of ABelugust. So as of August 5th we will be in possession of 2 apartments. However, Blake and I are looking on the bright side, we don't have to rush into moving. We can take our time and sort through all our crap because we are going from a 2 bedroom to a 1 bedroom!! The best part of it is the fact that we will FINALLY have a washer and dryer included in our apartment. No more paying for laundry!!!! YAY!



Below is Tuesday's weigh-in update! Check it out!! It is also on my Youtube Vlog!!



Until next time, KEEP SMILING!!

Eating What?!?!.....

Oh my have I not been good!! So for Weight Watcher, for those of you who don't know about it, you have a set amount of points each day. Well I haven't been keeping track very well this week and even this morning I packed my own breakfast and still ate the donut at church! Oops! I don't really have a limit on what I can eat. It is just I have a limit to how much and there are certain things I should be eating everyday, Like fruit and veggies, dairy products and such. I will be interested to see what the scale says this week.

However, Yesterday I did bust my but on a 40 minute Turbo Jam Cardio Party!! I love it! It makes me great!! I have started to put more intensity into my work out and am getting better with my moves. To be honest though I didn't feel like working out yesterday but you just have to remember the way you feel after. All your energy comes from within, it is a mental thing. Today I going to do little Turbo Sculpt and work on building those muscles!! I love the results I get not only physical but also mental!! So I am going to keep trucking along even when I just want to quit. So off I go!!

Keep Smiling!! :o)

Ready to Go!!

Hi All!! I am so excited to share this journey with you! I am one of millions of people that struggle with their weight. I have been riding the roller coaster of weight loss for many year. Especially after I had my Thyroid removed in 2005. I thought I had problems before then...not so much. After surgery and then moving from an active job to a desk job I gained 78lbs over about 2 yrs. I have been carrying that weight with me for about 3 years! :o(

Well New Year's Eve my wonderful boyfriend (now Fiance) proposed to me and I new it was time for the weight to come off! Every girl dreams of looking perfect in their dream dress and I am no different. I stumbled upon my dress in March and have loved it ever sense. It looks nice on me now but I want it to be jaw dropping on my wedding day! So on April 27th I started Weight Watcher at work. This is my second time doing WW and I love it. So far sense April I am down 16lbs. What a difference it has made not only in the way I look up also the way I feel!!

Along with WW I have also been working out at least once a day if not twice. I have become a crazy workout lady!! :o) I do the elliptical during lunch and then I come home and do Turbo Jam!! Yes I bought Turbo Jam of an infomercial about 4 yrs ago. I never really got into it then. But I LOVE it now!! I totally recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun workout that you can do in the privacy of your own home. Also if you like the gym environment they have a class called Turbo Kick!! AWESOME!! It is a great program invented by Chalene Johnson! She is extremely motivation and I can't wait to get home and workout!!

Okay I will get off my little rant. I started off with walk/run and I still do it every once in a while when the heat index isn't over 100 degrees. The reason I started this blog is to keep myself motivated. I figure if I track my progress and share it with people, I will be more motivated to continue. Also I want to motivate friends, family and anyone who wants to get in shape and feeling good! So if you ever need an encouraging word I will hopefully have one for you. Also, I will share my struggles because everyone struggles!! It just about pushing through the struggles to the goal!! So until next time!! Keep Smiling!!
