my journey to being thin(ner)

i have stopped using this blog and moved here instead…

thanks for visiting…

scale showed a 1.6 pound drop this week so i’m happy, but i know i could do better in the cardio dept. and know that is my weakness… i keep saying i’m going to try one of my new DVDs but haven’t so this week my goal is to try at least one of them… i have no excuse, i just need to do it!

i am so happy today is friday, regardless if the weather is crappy or not, the week is over and i’ll be done w/this huge project… i am looking forward to this weekend, knowing that when i come in monday - i won’t have to stare at anymore charts, tables or boring-ass text… yes, there’s a second piece to this huge fact book puzzle but i’m not going to let that bother me - no use worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet, right…

had a good workout today, even upped my weights a bit on some exercises… even though i feel like i have stalled w/my weightloss, i can definitely see a difference in how my body is shaped due to lifting… i have been stepping on the scale every morning too which isn’t good because i’m not seeing anything positive… i think after this week, i’m going to cut back on the processed foods (frozen lunches, soup, etc.) and start eating more salads, samiches, fruit, and whole grains… i had a huge salad for dinner last night and it was great - minus the high-sodium soup… maybe by doing that and actually doing some cardio dvd’s, i’ll begin to see results again…

i’m not feeling tooo great this morning because of what i saw on the scale and its my own fault… i ate some crappy things yesterday knowing damn well WI was this morning… could i have made better choices? yea, i could have but i didn’t so now i’m in a crappy mood just because of a number… this is what happens when you start to feel comfortable and think you have the routine down - you think, “i’ve done my exercise so now i can have some fried fish and french fries… or how about some gelato?”… (beep) wrong… i haven’t added more cardio to my workouts either, like i keep saying i should, so there are issues i need to deal with… this weight isn’t just going to magically disappear cus it certainly didn’t appear overnight… one step at a time, right?

enjoy the rest of your weekend…

i wish i could bottle up how i feel after a good workout so on days that i don’t feel like doing anything, i can take a whiff and feel instantly energized… i hate myself for not doing my pilates this morning so now i have to do it when i get home… not like its a huge deal or anything but its beautiful outside and i feel guilty for not going for a walk instead… then again, its only april 10 and spring has just started so there will plenty of days where i can go for walks…

i thought i would weigh myself on my b/f’s scale this morning and it showed a pretty big loss but being i’m an idiot, i had to see if the scale was really accurate… so what do i do? i took 2 soda bottles and weighed them and then calculated how many ounces are equal to a pound (.0625)… according to the my calculations, the scale looks to be dead-on so could it be true? i dunno, no sense getting worked up about it since WI isn’t until saturday but still - i am happy to see ANY progress…

so i’m switching things up this week, i’m doing cardio on m/w/f and weights on t/th instead - maybe that will shake things up a bit.. i haven’t received notice that my pilates class is full so i’m looking forward to that tomorrow night, i just hope i like the instructor/class or i’ll stop going (yes, i know i paid but still)… i also tried a new pilates dvd yesterday morning and didn’t like it so i did some yoga instead which is fine - its better than not doing anything at all… i also worked til almost 7:00 so it was a very long day indeed…
