WI/SAT

Ok so I weighed in at work Friday and got down to....241. That's right according to the work scale I lost 8 lbs in 1 wk and 3 days. Hopefully my real weigh in day for my rewards will be just a little bit more kind and I can get my Hunger Games trilogy.

Basically for Fri I ate well the rest of the day and went to bed semi early. I stayed up to watch for mega millions...boo....did not win. Maybe I'll get a couple of bucks for getting some of the numbers.

Today I got up and did Turbokick class from 8-9am. Then got ready for work 11am to 5 pm. Now I'm getting ready to eat something and go back to my house. So all in all I had a good day. I can't remember if today or tomorrow is the day I'm supposed to call. I think tomorrow bc it's the beginning of a brand new month. But I totally have a 'retarded' girl story. So remind me tomorrow to tell it to you. If you even read this.

Ok that it for now.

Friday!!

Well, I did not get up early and get to the gym at 530am...I got up early enough to get to RIPPED class at 6am without rushing. Then I did the Cybex ET for 30min. Man, I was soooo bored. Normally, it doesn't bother and I daydream but I was like, " for the love of God, please can time move faster." Then I ran for 20min...felt like doing extra. Ran the mile in 12:43 and kept going and ran 1.5 miles in 18:48 and kept going for the full 20 min. Ended up somewhere around 1.65 miles.

So today is the weigh in day at work...hopefully really good news is to be had. I'll probably write more tonight, if I'm not too exhausted. I was really tired this morning too. I don't know what's going on other than maybe all this minimal sleep is catching up with me.

Alright more tonight.

Wed and Thurs

So Wed was good. I did most everything I was supposed to. I ate pretty good. I did the RIPPED class, 30 min on the bouncy precor ET and the ran a mile in 12:40 (but stayed and walked on the TM for 15min). Two weeks ago I ran it at 13:48. My goal is to get to a 9 min mile and then I will add more miles.I went to bed early and got 6 hrs of sleep.

So on Thurs (today) I did get up in time for my workout and didn't have to rush around but I felt very discombobulated. I wasn't my usual gung ho self about the workout and I was extra tired at work. Weird considering I got to bed early. On the upside I really didn't feel like eating all that much either. It looks like tonight will be an early night too.

I decided that tomorrow is my first weigh in for work. I'll weigh in at work on Fri and at home on Mon and that will keep me in check for the weekends. The last day of the contest is May 7. And the winning team get the $250 but everyone that loses 10% of their bodyweight gets something. Probably something stupid like an alcoa sweatband but whatever.

Tomorrow I plan on getting to the gym right at 530am so I can do 30min on the ET and then go to RIPPED class and then maybe run a mile. So all my workout will be done by 730am. I plan on playing the mega millions its over half a billion dollars, as of tonight after taxes the prize is like 360 million dollars. Really...I actually hope more than one person wins and I hope I get to be one of those people. It's ridiculous but as they say, " you can't win, if you don't play."

Alright off to bed. Good luck to both of us for weigh in.

Feeling, eh.

Tuesday:

So far I went to PC class 6am-7am and then went to Interval class 9-10am. In between I ate a veggie sausage sandwich (2 patties and 100% whole wheat) and a banana. Coffee.

I am getting bored with the food. But I am too lazy to cook. Yesterday my coworker had chicken wings and shrimp lo mein from a chinese food place. Of course there was an offering and I refused. Oh wait, I had 3pieces of shrimp and a bite of the lo mein noodles (technically all stuff I can eat but it was pretty greasy as all good food is and I didn't want to risk a mess up bc of that). But to be honest I really wanted to throw down. Like I wanted some steak, chicken all types of fried up yumminess but I didn't. I ate veggie buffalo chix wing sand, chobani, veggie stix snack. Blah.

Today I might try to make some kind of "exciting" veggie food. If I have enough time before work. I'm trying really hard to make my next goal of 240 bc I really want those hunger game books and then I want to go see the movie. Anyways, I am rereading One for the Money and even though it go dismal reviews and Katherine Heigl is completely miscast...I'm breaking down to see that too.

Well off to get something to eat before work.

Monday! Monday!

I'm trying to be upbeat but it sucks. I totally overslept this morning and missed RIPPED class but saw that there was an ab blast class at 835-850 and another RIPPED class at 9-10. So I did both of those. I have one more week until I weigh in at home and decided I was going to wait to weigh in at work until MON too.

I made it to my first reward goal of losing 15lbs (250 lbs) and I was supposed to get mani/pedi/wax. But I got my hair straightened instead. The Price tag is comparable. My next reward at 240 was getting the hunger games trilogy. So Maybe next week!

I haven't really ate anything today...except coffee. I need to eat something before I get to work. I'm psyching myself up for next week when we re launch our battle. Come on, get excited with me! We still have 3 months before your visit and plenty of time to be hot!

Off I go for some nutrition!

It's Sunday.

Ok, yesterday I went to turbokick class. It's basically choreographed kickboxing...interesting. I need more rhythm. But I got a good workout in before work. Last week I got to work in the morning on SUN and so I could go to the afternoon RIPPED class. However this week I have to work in the afternoon so I am missing workout time. I work from 11am-5pm and the gym closes at 6pm. I'm feeling kinda of yucky since I haven't worked out today. I don't know I might try to make the gym anyway. 30 min is better than nothing right?

It's FRIDAY!

March 23

I was supposed to get up and go to RIPPED class at 6am and then go to the PC class at 9am but I overslept. So I just went to the 9 am class and did 30min on the elliptical. I was thinking about doing more but it was so hot and humid. I hate the summer time, especially when it's in March. It had to be like 80 degrees out.

I ate pretty good again today. I can't wait until MON so I can weigh in. I am actually gypping myself a day but I want to continue to weigh in on MON. I am going to turbokick tomorrow at 8am. It's basically a kickboxing class with some "funk" to it. I am not that great witht the funky parts but it's a killer workout. If I have some gumption, I might get up earlier and do some type of machinery before the class. I have to work from 11am to 5pm and the gym closes at 6pm, so there's no going after work.

Anyway that's my goal for tomorrow. I'm off to bed so I can get that workout in!

March 22

Well, I ate healthy and did powercut already. In a few minutes I will be going to interval class. I can't stand this weather though. It's already hot like summer. Makes it difficult to want to work out. We'll see how this evening goes. I ate well all day yesterday but finally broke down and had an ice cream drumstick. I think it's due to my "friend" being here. Today there will be no mistakes! (hopefully:))

Competitive much?

So work is having another weight loss contest and I missed the sign up. I was kinda disappointed but what could I do. (I didn't see the sign until late.) You have to have a group of 3 people and the combined highest %age of weightloss wins $250. But one of the guys I work with was doing it and hurt his knee and I was saying I wanted to do it so he offered to let me take his place. I don't know who the other 2 people are on my team but they've lost weight for the 2 wks it's been going on. So that's good. So anyways I'm on my competitive high. I weighed in on the work scale yesterday and it said 249. What! Anyways, I'm still not weighing in on the home scale until April 1. To see what my real weightloss has been.

I did my RIPPED class this morning and then 30min on the bouncy Precor, and ran the treadmill for 20min. I did a mile and a half. I'm going to try to run a marathon...but it probably won't be until next year. Ok that's it for now.

March 20

Well even though I haven't blogging, I have been doing the right things. I work out 6-7 times a week at least 1 hr and 15 min. I've been trying to transition to a vegan diet. I think that's going to be the best for me. I'm such an all or nothing kind of person. I can't just have a little bit of something. I haven't had red meat since 2/14. I've cut out chicken, poultry and pork as of last Fri. I don't know if I can completely give up dairy or seafood though. I've been trying but it I don't go vegan or vegetarian, my diet is definately going to be more plant based.

I haven't weighed myself yet. I am waiting until the first MON in April. That will give me a pretty good gauge on how I am doing monthly. I am noticing looser clothes, feeling healthier and stronger. So we'll see how it goes.

That's it for now. I am off to the YMCA for the second time today. I already did powercut, now I'm going to interval.

March 9

For the last 2 weeks in Feb, I didn't work out. However I ate well most of the time. I decided to try to go vegetarian. I started with giving up red meat. So far have been red meatless since 2/14. I then gave up poultry. I start that on 2/27. I am still eating seafood and dairy for now. I am supposed to try to give up one of those by the end of this week. I restarted working out on 2/27. I did the hour on elliptical most days and a couple of classes that week. This week I went hardcore. My goal was to do more than an hour of exercises everyday. So far, so good all this week. I also have been working every weekend 11 am to 5 pm. That cuts into my workout time since the gym is only open SAT 8am-5pm and SUN 1p-5p So on SAT I decided to workout at 8am to 10am, get ready at the gym and go straight to work. On SUN, when the weather is good I'll walk the trail. It really hasn't been cold but it has been rainy and I can't do it then. I'll have to figure something out for when it rains.

Like I said, I hope to have everything in place and ready to go byt the end of next week. Then I can call and talk and things.

PS: I've been thinking about doing a marathon actually on Wed of this week, I decided. So I am starting out slow. I started running a mile everyday on the treadmill at my own pace (after my real workouts). I can already start feeling the difference. It's getting easier and my time is getting a little faster.

We can do this.
