Its been forever since I have written, but I have done quite well lately. I have been going to the gym everyday, except for the weekend. Everyone needs a little time off.
I have lost 3 lbs so far. and yes sure i was hoping it would be at least 5, since its been at least 2 week, but thats ok. I enjoy going to the gym! And im glad it has worked out that way.
I have tried going before, and just didnt like it, but now I feel that its time, and because its time, i enjoy doing it.
I don't have too much to say, even though it has been soo long.
Im going out of town for a week, so i wont make it to the gym, i have a feeling i'll go through withdrawls haha, and maybe gain that 3 lbs back because I'm sure my eating isn't gonna be the greatest, but I'm gonna try to eat the best I can

1 week 1 day (July 6 2010)

So I don't have the internet anymore so I am unable to write on my blog everyday. I am going to do it as much as I can. I went to the gym Sunday, Monday and today. Today I ended up waking up at 6:30 so I went with my roommate cause she can only go only in the morning. She showed me what kind of workout she does because her friend goes to the gym all the time so she knows what she is doing. It was hard, not super hard, but I feel that it will do what needs to be done.

By the end of the workout I was sweating like crazy, which is a good thing. I weighed myself yesterday and only lost 0.4lbs. Its a little upsetting but I could be gaining muscle. And though I'm still not eating right (I'm eating the right foods but not at the right times a day) I feel that I should be losing some weight soon. I want to lose 10 lbs by September 18th cause I have a wedding to go to, and I believe thats a possible amount to lose as well as I will look good even only after 10lbs. I went out drinking for a few days and didn't eat competely healthy food but I didn't go crazy and eat horribly bad stuff which is awesome

Day 5 july 1 2010

Well today I will not be going to the gym. I was up late/early drinking last night and well I can barely do anything let alone go to the gym. I will not be back home till tomorrow afternoon, so I'm thinking I will go when i get home tomorrow, If not I will walk the dogs and start fresh Sunday morning, But i would really like to try and get in tomorrow night.

I ate a greasy sandwich this morning, but I had some beef and barley soup which is good, But I didnt eat a lot. so that should be fine.

The one problem with all this weight loss stuff is that it takes time. And it takes forever to start seeing any decent amount of change, but I hope I don't fail. I have failed so much in the past and would love to succeed this time. Hence the reason for the blog so I can get everything out and maybe it will help.

Day 4 (July 1 2010)

So I didn't write yesterday, because I forgot haha. I didn't end up going to the gym cause I worked all day, and that was a workout in itself. I ate healthy and went grocery shopping again. I was so tempted to grab Mcdonalds but i held back.

My friend came into town yesterday and I went to see her and there were chips and such on the table for everyone to eat, but I stayed away. I know it wouldn't have been bad to have acouple but once I start I usually can't stop so I thought it better to stay away.

Today I went to the gym at 9, it was only open 9 till 5 today, but I'm glad it was open so I could go. I wanted to keep on it.

I been eating yoghurt and fresh berries everyday, and its sooo delicious. Probably one of my fav things to eat thats healthy. :)

Day 2 (June 29 2010)

Second day at the gym! Once again, I didn't want to get up this morning. But I made it! It was a little later today than I went yesterday, but thats fine. I stayed for an hour today and am thinking that I may want to get to to staying for 2 hours eventually.

I have to work tomorrow, which will take out of my gym time. I could go before work, but then I will be to exhausted to work, so I may go after. Either way, work will be a workout and I will still be walking the dogs after work.

I don't believe they are open for holidays, but I should check because i would like to go Thursday. If not, thats fine, because I planned on only going 5 days a week, and so those two days will be my days off.

Its only day 2, so i'm worried about taking two days off already. And one of my problems with failure is that I'm scared that I'm gonna stop going. I just have to keep telling myself why I am going over and over again. Thats one thing that gets me going when I'm working out.

Food has been good. I have been eating fruits and vegies and good cereal in the morning. But yesterday I think I ate too much, even though it was healthy food, I have to not eat so much. But boredom makes me eat.

I really want this to happen for me and sitting here writing this is making me excited for end results, so I believe writing everyday will help :)

The Beginning (June 18th 2010)

They say for you to completely succeed in losing weight and getting healthy, you should write about it. You should write about your experience, what you are doing, your goals and what you plan on doing. So here I am about to do that very thing.

Why do I plan on losing weight be being healthier?

1- I would like to feel better about myself

2- I am actually overweight (obviously not by much)

3- I have bad anxiety and they say that if you exercise and eat better, it can help with your anxiety

My Goals

1- to lose 15 pounds by September

2- to lose at least 40lbs in a year

3- to have a healthier lifestyle

4- to just get in shape in general

My Plan

1- Go to the gym at least 4 - 5 times a week

2- Drink at least 3-4 glasses of water a day (compared the the 1 a week i drink now)

3- Eat healthier. More fruits and vegetables, no more take out, less alcohol

4- Weigh in once a week

Weight to date = 183lbs

Today was the first day at the gym. I woke up this morning and knew I had to go, knew I was going to go but I just lay there and thought oh i just wanna sleep a little more longer, just a little more longer. I finally got out of bed, though I did get up way before I planned on getting up. The hardest part, just like everyone says, is getting to the gym and walking in the door. Once i was on the first machine, I was so glad to be there. I put on my music and just went at it. I thought I would stay for an hour, then realized that maybe 45 minutes would do, because I have not worked out in so long, i knew that if I stayed too long I would not be able to move the next day. When i was done, I felt amazing! It was a great feeling. But once again tomorrow I will have the same problem, just trying to get the gym.
