Hi Everybody,

I don't really have anything to say I just wanted to share with all of you that, as I'm laying here in bed ready to go to sleep (early) because I'm getting up early in the morning to go down to COlumbus with my mom to go wedding shopping and planning with my sis and another bridesmaid, I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be at a bw3's drinking a huge ass margarita thats probably thousands of calories and devouring a plate full of ooey gooey chicken wings with tons of ranch and at this point I really just wished that I LIVED in Bowling Green or Perrysburg where I could just be there in two minutes.. That said, it's probably a blessing in disguise that I don't live close enough to one. :) :( ?

Anyways thats all.... thanks and goodnight.

SIcky poo

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!

So..... I have alot to say this evening but unfortunatly I'm feeling very poorly. I had a very bad tooth infection over the weekend which led to me being pretty darn sick this week. I'm very tired and need to get some sleep because no matter how poorly I'm feeling I'm going to Boston in a couple of weeks and need the money so I have to get up and go to work in the morning... SO...


If your a biggest loser fan like me... I had alot of feelings about tonights episode I'm not going to rewrite everything I just put on facebook so if you care what I think about tonights episode go look at my post I put on facebook.

FYI, I went to the gym for the first time in a LONG time this afternoon. I did not go for the zumba class. I just went and did a regular workout after work. IT FELT good. :) My body was really craving some cardio action. I did a half hour on the eliptical goin from a high crossramp to a low and back up to the high again. Then I did a little while on the bike. I don't usually do the bike but I was wanting some more cardio but wasn't feeling very well so wanted something easy. Then I ventured over to do my weights and this is where I plumeted. :( I did one round of my arm weights and I crashed and came home made a semi healthy dinner. My parents had already stuck some stuffed pork chops in the oven and asked me to open a can of veggies to go with them but instead I got some fresh veggies I had recently bought at the grocery store and steamed them up to go with our dinner. :) I felt very proud of myself for doing this. I had really been wanting to make a full fledged healthy dinner of grilled fish and veggies and some new rice pilaf I bought but we didn't have any fish and unfortunatley I didn't have the money to go out and get some therefore being stuck with the stuffed porkchops.


Ok so thats long enough for now... oh wait I forgot to tell you. Since I've been sick the last couple days my throat has been REALLY sore so I've been drinking A TON of HOT TEA!!! In the past I've never been able to find a hot tea I really liked.... UNTIL NOW. I LOVE love loVE GREEN TEA. I work at Bob evans and while working we can have all the hot tea we want so I've drank like 2-3 cups of the stuff the last couple of days then today after my workout I rewarded myself with a trip to starbucks (somewhere I haven't been in a pretty long time) and tried THEIR hot green tea and loved it even more than what we have at BOb Evans. I feel really good about this because not only does it taste good and feel good on my throat but I just happen to know that Green Tea is really good for you. I put quite a bit of honey in it to sweeten it up but thats ok because honey is good for you too. (In moderation) Ok now I think I'm really done :) The IBprofin 800 and Nyquil I took are kicking in I think. TIme to get some sleep....

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning

Hey Everybody,

So I'm sitting here at the library reading the blogging book I got for Christmas. I'm trying to learn more about blogs for a few reasons. 1. So it will hopefully begin to be a tool in my weightloss as it was first intended to do. 2. I would like to learn how to make my blog better so that; more people want to read and follow it, and so that those of you that are already following will read more often and be more interactive with it. One thing I have been told that makes my blog less attractive is the fact that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make paragraphs, well I have not learned yet but I would like to make all of you aware that I am looking! :)

One thing I just read that might help me and I'm looking forward to because I do enjoy looking at other blogs is to do just that. The author of this blogs for dummies (yes seriously) says to research other peoples blogs with similiar subjects and goals of the blog your doing. So thats something I'm going to try to do.

Something else I wanted to share with all of you because it seems one way I push myself to be productive in my weightloss journey is to be held accountable for what I'm doing. So therefore I am going to keep you all informed on my plans for making this work. The first way I'm going to do that is by telling you all I am going to make it a point to go to the gym on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I know thats not alot right now but with my crazy work schedule and what I've been doing lately (NOTHING) I think this is a good place to start. I know yesterday I told you all I was going to sign up for the Zumba class at the Y. Well kind of bad news. I called to sign up for that class today and was informed that it was FULL. I was not aware that that could happen so I'm going to do two things for now. 1. I have the money I was given for Christmas to do this class on my account as a credit. Therefore if I am not able to find a class this session it will still be there for the next session and I can tell you I will be one of the first people signed up for the Tuesday night Zumba classes lol. 2. I'm going to just kind of "show up" at the Tuesday night classes and see exactly how full they are because YMCA max members who are signed up for a core class are supposed to be able to go to any other core classes any time so.. I'm still going to make an attempt to go to this class. Also I figure if I'm already at the gym and the class is too full to take I can always just go up to the gym and do a regular workout which I should tell you its been so long since I've done that I'm kind of terrified of how my first workout back goes. :/

Ok well thats all for now so I'm going to continue reading and maybe have something more to tell you about later. BYES :D

short and to the point

Hey Everybody, So its a new year. I am focusing and RE-starting my weight loss journey. For Christmas my sister payed for me to go to the "core" classes that the ymca offers that I've been wanting to do for so long. I was getting really frustrated because i wasn't able to make my work schedule what it needed to be to be able to take any classes. Then I got frustrated because my mom and i were supposed to take the Zumba class together and I was really excited about that but then she backed out. SO NOW I'm back into what I was focusing on when I started this journey a year ago. I AM DOING THIS FOR ME AND NOBODY ELSE!! I am going to get my butt back to the gym on a regular basis. AND I also received from my sister for Christmas a couple of books on blogging. So hopefully I'll learn about a few new creative ways to keep this blog up to date and interesting. :) I'm also going to Boston with my sister to see our other "sister" at the end of the month.... it will be my first time on a plane and I'm terrified but completely excited as well. So that is just a little information on what is going on with me and now I have to get my butt to work. Soooo.... I'm gonna go and hope all of you are back on board with me... OH I almost forgot to mention that one of my places of employment is having a "biggest loser" competition. :) I don't know if there's any prizes or anything but we just had to sign up and put (if we wanted) what our starting weight was and how much we plan to lose by April 1st. I said I was going to lose 20 pounds in 3 months so I better get to it :D ok really thats all. BYES
