uhh...i can't move

I just did The Firm - Body Sculpting Basics video that I got from the library.. it was made in the 80's and let me just say... HOLY FUCK IT WAS HARD! At times I couldn't even do some of the floor work because I needed to rest. It was really intese but when I was done I felt SO good, because it was so hard and just finishing the video was an accomplishment...it was 60minutes long! I will be adding this video in 2-3 times a week. I am SO glad tomorrow is a rest day.

By the way, if you check on the chart I'm down another pound! :) this is exciting. I'm actually doing really good with portion control..I'm learning slowly but have definitley improved since 2 weeks ago.

Now how am I going to get up off this chair? My legs are still shaking...ouch...can't move.

Rainy Summers day

Yesterday it rained and it looked soo beautiful outside, it reminded me of autumn. I know I know..it was the first day of summer and it reminded me of autumn? lol. Anyways, I went for my walk in the RAIN, first I contemplated if I should go or not. I decided to go...and had a fabulous time, though I didn't do my regular 3 miles. I did 2 miles in 28 minutes instead and then walked the long way home. Yesterday, was a perfect exercise day :) I wish I could have days like this everyday.

Worst 3 days ever

So I have been sick for the past 3 days..and yes that means no exercise :( and no appetite. I had a fever for 2 days and a headache. Whenever I moved I would get so dizzy, if I smelled food I would want to throw up. No sleep either cause my cough was so bad. Yesterday I went to the doctor found out I have a throat infection, she gave me some antibiotics but they havn't really started to work yet. The only thing is that the headache and dizzyness is gone but the cough is just too much..whenever I cough I feel like I'm going to explode.

Anyway, on a better not..I weighed in yesterday for my official weigh in and it was 179! YAY! Finally broke into the 170's. I want to try and lose 2lbs this week if I can...that would put me at 177 and 10.5 to go :)..a girl can dream right?

Im backk

Hi Everyone! I'm back from my little vacation. I was in Toronto for 3 weeks and had a blast! I enjoyed myself to the fullest. Now that it's summer I fully intend to keep up with this journal. I'm starting College in September and now is the time I can focus on myself. My main focus this summer is to be healthy and have fun while I'm doing it. I started my walking plan on Sunday and I love it. I love walking OUTSIDE. Treadmills are boring and I get tired of them quickly...when I'm walking outside I see new things everyday and enjoy the fresh air. Right now I have been doing 3 miles in 45minutes, I'm going to stick with this for another week and then evaluate myself and see if I can bump it up to 4 miles.

On the food side, I have been just eating healthy..no counting calories for now. I'm slowly adjusting myself to proper serving sizes. My summer goal is to get to 166.5 (my 10% goal) by August 20th. So far I have lost 5lbs so about 13.5 to go! I will put up my 'official' weight on Friday.

I know..this time it's going to be different. Because this time I'm not trying to force myself and i'm actually enjoying what I'm doing. Something inside me as definitley 'clicked'.
