Just a quick post....feeling wonderful today...it doesn't happen often so i wanted to have it documented...especially since i felt so horrible yesterday and i wanted to quit, give up and just say "f' it"....it was just one of those days....they are going to happen...more often then i want them...but i have to just get through them and remember that there will be good days and bad :)

Today i got up and did 42 min on the treadmill and then went to the gym and did shoulders and triceps :)

Still jotting down my goals.....

figuring them out......

i will get them down :)

yay...its friday!

Well its friday!!  YAY!

Did pics and weigh in....not too great...but im looking at this as my starting point.....my eating was 99% this week....and so were my workouts....cardio was lacking a little...but all in all i think it was a great week...so my new word will be consistency......and i need to stay accountable.....

I want to be able to see weekly changes in my body...and in order to do that i need to stay consistent :)

This weekend is supposed to be crappy weather.  Snow tonight into tomorrow.  Not sure when we are getting Angelica yet.

My ceiling in my kitchen is still leaking....the plumber came on monday and said it wasn't a pipe....if it was a pipe it would be a constant leak....its really getting on my nerves that we cant find this problem....we have had 2 roofers, a water specialist and two plumbers....i want this done and over so we could do what we need to do in the house.

We are ripping up the bathroom and having it re-tiled, new sink/vanity.

I like this tile...

and after that is done i want to do the kitchen....

if i could...i would love to be able to do these colors....

well that is where my brain is.....

working on my short/long term goals.....

will be posting them soon :)

Oh...and Sally from Neumans Own Organic sent me some samples of their new cookies and licorice....i will be trying them this weekend and posting my review :)

bye!

Tuesday :)

Hi all...

Well yesterday i took my first boxing class....it was interesting....i burned 440 calories so that was nice.....Im not sure if i would take it again though....basically all it was, was 10 min on your own jumping rope...then push ups and mountain climbers.  then it was 3 rounds of bag punches....about 2 min intervals at which you did a sprint across the gym and back in-between each set of punches...then he had you do a bunch of crunches.,..while he stood there....and yelled what to do next...standing in the corner.....he did come over to me and help me put my gloves on since it was my first time...but all and all, i wasn't too impressed.  And yesterday was leg day too in the morning, so i was really sore when i got home....

today was shoulders/triceps....my upper body is sore but im not sure if it is sore from boxing or my shoulder workout.....either way, im glad im a little sore :)

Weekend was nothing special.....we had Angelica on Friday-Saturday.  Saturday night we went to dinner with friends of ours...i actually just got a salad with seared tuna on it....nothing on the menu was really interesting me....oh well.  it was nice to get out :)

Sunday i went food shopping and prepped for the week.  My meal plan is pretty good this month so its not hard to stick with.  I must do pics on friday for Gen...i haven't done them in forever!!!

i guess that is all i got right now ;)

Monday, January 9, 2012

Well the weekend went by way to quickly as always :)

Saturday went to get sushi with our friends.  We did a polyanna and we haven't been able to get together during the holidays so we wound up doing it on saturday.  It was nice.  I got a PINK tee shirt and PINK perfume :)

Sunday I got up and ran to see my nephew and then ran to BJ's and then came home and cooked and prepped for the week (or half way through, depending how long it lasts ;)..LOL)  

I didn't get up again for cardio (surprise) but i did have a decent leg workout at the gym.  I will do my cardio when i get home.

I dont get it....its so hard it is to lose one pound but to gain 5?  so easy!  My clothes are tight....im not liking it at all.  it is actually really starting to bother me...but im not going to get discouraged and sad about it...im just going to work to get rid of it.  This bloat needs to go!!!

Other than that....nothing else going on.   Life is the same...which is good :)

Im looking at shows to do.....im also looking into going to bombshell camp.  

I need goals....long term and short term.  

I need to think :)

bye for now :)

one day at a time

Well Im back at work...blech....back to the grind!

today was back to the gym and back to packing up all my food for the day.  I did legs this morning and it was looong!  I have to do some plyos when i get home tonight because i ran out of time.  Along with my cardio :)

Biggest Loser starts back up again tonight!  I cant wait.....i love that show!

I stunk up my house so bad cooking on my indoor grill last night...my hair stunk, my clothes....i had to open up the front and back door to get air circulating and to get the stink out ;)  I wish it was warm enough to use my outside grill still :(

Im still thinking about what my goals should be for this year....i want to try and do short term (monthly) and then my goals for the year.

I got on the scale this morning....i shouldn't have..but i did.....i need to hold myself more accountable...and i will be sending off my weekly pics again to Gen.  I need to....i think a big reason of my weight gain through november and december was due to the fact that i didn't check in at all with my trainers...mentally i knew i was being bad and i didn't want to be reminded of it..so i just didn't check in.  And the result of that is me being a meatball right now.

Adam had to go to Louisiana for work this morning :(   The only good thing that comes out of it is that i can take my time when i get home...i can do what i want to do...i can take down the decorations, do my cardio, or just lay around if i want ;)  Dont get me wrong, i miss him terribly when he is not around...but sometimes its nice to just do what i want at my pace :)

I was going to go to my sisters house tonight...usually I go there on Tuesdays...but i didn't bring enough food with me for one, and the other is that my mom is making chicken and dumplings (which I love) and i cant be around it...i know me...even if i had my food with me, i would want to "taste" it....so im taking myself out of that situation.

I still have so much guilt when it comes to being around my family.  Like on Sunday...they were all going to be over my sisters for dinner....my family and nicky's family...the menu was:  spiral ham, potato salad, stuffed shells, salad and string bean casserole.  Now, none of that was on my plan and i really didn't want to go there to eat any of that.  But because i felt bad not seeing anyone on new years day, i went...and i ate things i shouldn't have...just because i felt bad.  What is wrong with me???    But this is what goes through my head...i have this constant fight of what i should do and what i want to do.  And what I "should" do usually wins....but in that mindset, i make food choices that i shouldn't be.

Im rambling, i know....but this is how my brain works....i guess its the Italian Catholic guilt..LOL!

I hate me sometimes!  maybe one day i will live my life for me....and not do what everyone else wants me to do!

Well here we go..

2012...another year has come and gone....have i learned any lessons?  have i reached any of the goals that i had set out for myself?  I'm not sure....now don't get me wrong...i did not have a horrible year...im healthy, i have a great husband, a roof over my head, a loving family, a job that i like, so overall, i can't complain.

Were there things that i wish i could change?  of course.  But what i am learning is that you can't look back and say "what if".  I can only look forward to what i want and what i want to become.  Year after year i do the same thing.  I look back with regrets.  Im done doing that.  Im starting with a new outlook..a happy, positive outlook....and i am going to see where it takes me....

I haven't blogged in a while...and scrolling down, you can see my whole year on one page...so not cool.

I am going to track my life more.  So i can look back on this blog...and not have regrets....just to see what i accomplished and how i feel :)

Isn't that what its all about?

So if i have anyone out there who still reads this silly little blog, we are going to see what 2012 can bring for this gal ;)  

Happy New Years :)
