i don't know about you, but i'm feeling 22.

Oh wow. the amount of things that can happen in one week.
I am proud to say that while in Maine...eating complete junk cause we were in a hotel
i still managed to lose 3lbs. and have officially lost 20 lbs since starting this journey.
i have the most absolute best friends i could ever ask for who encourage me to keep going (:


annndd now for me to take my mind off weightloss and all that nonsense.
Today began the days to say goodbye... :-( my Jamsey Wamsey has been a huge part of my life I have babysat him for years...babysit would not even be the right term...he is my baby brother...except he is a FIFTH grader now.. woah where the hell does time really go? but oh my. I knew saying goodbye would be hard...and i knew it would be James and Raymond that brought me to my crying point! Watching Raymond grow up for the past almost 2 years has been such a joy, i could not love any baby more than i love him! (at least until i have my own!) I am beyond thankful for my 2nd family who has helped me through so much- my MWW&Pdaddy. I love you guys more than you could ever know! <3




blahblahblah
i will shut up now.
:)

i am happy.

still in Maine. but i have not skipped a work out...and yesterdays work out had tons in store for me! :)
will have to explain that one later!



<3 going back to texas tomorrow. i havent weighed myself in a week...but i have not skipped a work out...but being out of town has made eating healthy kinda tricky...so we shall see.


<3 <3

from Texas to Maine....

Wowwwza I have not written in the new year so far. I have missed a day of workout..which was yesterday because we are traveling! Just got back from my gym workout....didn't do too hardcore of a workout... did 3.6 miles 2 miles on a bike with a resistance of 10 and then 1.6 mi on the treadmill speed at 5.5 incline of 10.. plan to go swim too! indoor salt water pool..but i need to shave my legs! :-P so swimming will be an additional workout... don't have a scale at the hotel but I will figure that all out whenever I get home.... we ate at Tx roadhouse today and I wanted a soda SOOOO bad so i was gonna splurge and have a dr pepper...but they had no dr pepper...wtf. haha texas girl can't survive without her drpepperrr! so I just stuck to water...which i guess i cannot complain! :)


Today i took a few glimpses in some long mirrors and was pretty happy with what i saw...
;] i didn't get fat overnight so I have to remember to have patience with myself!! :) but i do like my progress so far which is about 20 lbs! yayyyy shay. anddddd i still have about 30 more to lose.. 40 if i want to be super super happy.. :-P but i will take 30 more lbs!

pics when i get home....or tomorrow

i believe in the person i want to become.

Whyyy hello there! Today was DEFINITELY a cheat day... I was sick on friday and saturday could NOT get my fever down....so i did some tabata on saturday and 4 minutes was way too much for my fever and aches... :[ but today I was fulllly prepared to go run but I went to church then had a friend from church come over watch movies and then we went and bowled.. :D i did greeaat mwahaha and it was still a workout for my arms right? i mean 2 hours of bowling had to do something right?!


weeeelll i will work out tomorrow for sure.
and i am still eating right and have not gained any weight since skipping these past few days soo no worries


<3

a dead last finish is greater than did not finish, which trumps did not start.

Off to houston for a few days! Today ran with the snow all beside me...and what a breathtaking experience that was! :) very beautiful. Packed my workout clothes plan to work out with my grandpa who runs every day... if i wanna learn to keep a pace he will push me to that! and if my grandpa can do it..well then damn there's my motivation! :-P


30lbs left to lose. :)
one pound at a time.
<3
rockin my dad's hoodie :-P thanks daddo.

am i crying? am i sweating? or is it raining?

Merry Christmas! I do hope everyone is having a great holiday season :)
Currently here in boring ole DFW area it is raining and cold..but that definitely calls for a good run
Didn't run as far as I usually do but that rain and wind was pretty harsh! Ran the trail from my house
to a near by park and did a lap around the pond.. it was enjoyable. I was alone but I had fun
Yesterday was my last day of TABATA for the weeek and I am going out of town for the next few 
days but will still definitely be working out! It is a holiday season so I will probably end up cheating
on my calorie intake...buttt ya knowww... i'll just run harder later. <3 :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

now i will hold myself more accountable to look better since im posting progress pictures.

      

to be better than yesterday

So 31 days ago I decided to get my butt off the couch and make a change in my life. Basically I have decided that I am moving in mid January and I want to go there a new person and start over. I have been tough of myself since I was a young kid, always thinking I was fat...but never did anything to change it. Glad to say in 31 days I have lost around 13lbs...I know it is not a whole lot but I do already have more confidence in myself. My beginning goal was to lose 10 lbs for my friend Jeff's Christmas present. I wanted someone to hold me accountable so I had a reason to step outside that door each morning. I have had AMAZING support not only from myself but from friends and family friends. Eventually I would like to lose a total of 40 pounds. I refuse to take any diet pills and plan to do this all on my own. I have so far only skipped 1 day of working out. I have more energy and find myself looking forward to working out each day no matter how many times i say "but it is cold" "but it is early." I do hope I can be someones motivation to get up and start today. I started on a Friday...so no excuses don't tell yourself you will start Monday, because you wont. Start today, because yesterday you said tomorrow.
