Lack of Motivation

Yet again it has been a while since I posted! I haven't had the motivation to really do anything. I feel very drained and kind of stressed out, but I feel that things are turning around. I am starting to sleep better and I am going back to the gym tonight. I actually want to get little things done again. Its nice to be returning to my old self again. Jason comes home very soon so I really need to get my motivation and energy back! I will try to start writing more often again :)

What a Wonderful Day

So its been a while since I wrote an entry, so I thoought I would type one up. Just been going to the gym as usual. I am down another 2lbs...that makes 22lbs total! I realize that consistancy does pay off in the long run. Yesterday was so nice out we decided to do our intervals outside on the track. It is another gorgeous day out so maybe we will do the same tonight. Tonight we are doing the dreaded leg workout and then about 60 mins of some kind of cardio.

Feeling Good...Even If I Have To Fake It!

So today I did NOT want to go to the gym. My arms and abs were sore, I wanted to just go home and do nothing! Instead of going home, I went to the gym. I get there and there are no machines open....no lockers open....that was my easy excuse to leave....instead I just took all my stuff into the aerobics room and started working on my legs! Did it hurt?? YES! I suffered through it and made myself work. It was hard but I know that I have to do it! Then after my leg work out...or should I say lower body because it hurts everything from my belly button down, I went back to the cardio machines, I did 45 minutes are cardio and then I was done for the evening. I came home and wanted fast food so bad, but I didn' give in and I ate yummy veggie corn dogs instead and they were delicious and then I had a nerds rope, I know candy is not good for you, but it tasted wonderful and it was only 90 calories! So I am ok with the nerds rope :)

Don't Make Me Laugh

Last night I got a new upper body workout! Its really great and I can definitely feel my muscles working. I woke up a little sore but not as much as I thought I would be. I can move, but I can feel what muscles I worked. I did not realize that my abs were sore until someone at work made me laugh today. I am hoping to have noticeable differences with this new routine. I just have to keep on keepin on! I can tell that I am in a lot better shape then before. Yesterday when we were running/walking the track we decided to sprint the last straight and I wasn't completely out of breath! YAY ME! I got a cramp in my leg and it made me feel old but that's besides the point lol. Back to the gym tonight....legs and lots of cardio FUN!

Spinning Was Canceled!

The past few days have been painful. Changing up your routine is rough! Today was the first day that my legs did not hurt all that bad, but then I have to work legs tomorrow so then I will be sore again, AHH. Yesterday was just Zumba, which was good, Val was sick so we didn't get to do arms. Then today spinning was canceled. So intervals it was today and now my legs kind of hurt :( Spin with Val tomorrow, great! She is probably going to kill us....I hope not....I think I am going to be lazy today with the exception of a few things :)

Why can't I walk up the stairs?

Tonight we met with our wonderful trainer. She killed us! The pain is a great feeling but at the same time it isn't. I know that it is paying off. Basically, she changed our whole workout which is nice because I was starting to get tired of the old one. I think that the stuff that we are doing now is showing how much we have improved since we started. So, I come home from the gym and start to go upstairs except my muscles hurt so bad. So, I take one stair at a time and finally make it ha ha! After showering and what not I go back downstairs to watch some TV. I sat there for about an hour and then attempted to get up and realized that I am going to be extremely sore come tomorrow. I have to suck it up. I know this is good for me and I know that this is going to help me reach my goal. Today food wise, was pretty good. I didn't get as much fruits and vegetables in as I would have liked or should have, but did not go over my calorie limit so I am happy with that. I am hoping that I am able to get out of bed tomorrow morning to go to spinning, I will try my hardest!

My First Post- What this blog is all about :)

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog. I chose to start blogging becuase I am on this journey of losing weight, and just being healthy. I really wish I would have started this from the very beggining, but I didn't. I want to be able to look back at this journey and read about all of the hard times, the good times, and see the goals that I have set and completed. So, to give you an idea of where I am at with this journey....I have been consistently working out and trying to eat right since October 27th. I have lost a total of 20lbs as of today. I couldn't do it alone, so I have a workout buddy, Kim :) Without her I probably wouldn't be so dedicated. I do have a trainer, thanks to the wonderful Semper Fit program at the base, that I meet with every once in a while. She changes up our routine about every 6 weeks or so. I hope that you all enjoy my new blog and please leave comments, I love feedback! Thanks for reading :)
