Stress and working out

I seem to have the fitness friends that when I am stressed say take your stress and anger out in your work outs. Now I know I'm not the only one who hears that, buuuuut.... I may be the only one who thinks Id rather sit on my butt and watch something or talk to someone so that What's bothering me disappears for a while, If not the night. How does one change that? How do you go from your normal comforts when you are stressed to being a workout freak? Some people it comes naturally and always has been for them and then there's people like me that are like blaaaaaah screw this I just wanna cuddle up in my bed in fetal position with a nice cuddle buddy hahaha sad but true. Don't get me wrong I push myself and I will continue to push myself until this workout because natural to me as well. I will be a beast and I will make working out my drug!!!! So to keep you all updated with my eating habits I have been doing great! I mean im human so I did have a cheat day lol but other than that I have been feeling amazing and have been sticking to it. I have also had ppl complimenting me on how much I've lost and how good Ive been doing which is one of the most wonderful feelings ever if I do say so myself. ;) and I have had 2 ppl ask me to make them meal plans and help them out work out wise. I've finished one meal plan already and can not wait to see her progress. Id love to help ppl like this for a living. Nothing feels better than helping ppl and I bet it will feel 100 times better once I see their progress. I hope everyone has been doing as well as I have and if not please feel free to reach not to me with any questions or concerns, I will try my best to help. Thats all I have for now I dont want to drag this post out. I will update my progress once I weigh in again.

Back on it and doing it right!!!

I am a pretty stubborn person I must say... Failure is not in my vocabulary!!! I may fall down, hell I may even lay there for a while, but I will not fail!!! I started my journey a few years back on weight watchers and I must say I lost a lot of weight a crap ton actually 65 pounds!!! I stopped counting points and boom here comes my weight again. This is he second time. Sad part is it creeps up on me. I don't know how I don't notice it, it's not like it's just 5 to 10 pounds, im talking about 50 lbs. it's like I get comfortable, I let the bad habits come back and consumes me, and weirdly enough I must feel some kind of comfort in it to disregard the lbs im packing on. Right?! WRONG!!!! Now don't get me wrong as I stated before weight watchers is a great weight loss program and I am proof it is effective if you keep up with it, but I'm going to tell you my problem with it. My first problem is it's not for me!!! They claim it's a life dtlr change not a weight loss program but I just don't see it. How is counting points for the rest of your life a good thing? How would you not mess up? How do you get comfortable doing that? And my last question is if it is so effective then why is it I meet more people like me (ones who have lost and gained it back and just repeat the cycle like a yoyo) than ones who lost it and kept it off? Here's what I think needs to be done and here's what I am attempting this time around. No counting!!! Not points, not calories, no counting!!!!!!!!! I'm goinng to train myself to make smart choices, train myself to know off hand portion control, train myself to know when enough is enough. It takes 28 days to make a habit correct? Well I'm 6 weeks into my journey and that's more than the time needed to start a habit and guess what. I have lost 28 lbs. it just gets easier and easier. Yes I have days I mess up, I am human! I have days I resist cravings but that's ok. Nobody is perfect and Id rather be slow and steady than rush and fall back into the same place again. Under Armour said it best I WILL!!!! I will get where I need to be, I will get my mind set, I will make the right choices, I will get fit/healthy and I will do it because I am the only one who can. Nobody is going to make me do it, nobody is going to push me to make the right choices, and nobody is going to feel the effects of my decisions besides me. I will continue to post as frequent as I can to let everyone know my progress and I hope to hear from others as well. Everyone is different and im sure what may work for some won't work for others but we can all learn from each other on our own journey's. We can all be the support for each other, the answers to somes questions, or the ah ha moments to something we would have never thought about. We all will get to where we want to be if we stay motivated and know it takes time, remember slow and steady wins the race!! :)

Busy gym days

geeeeez I feel like I havent been on here for a while. I know I know shame on me lol. but the good news is I have been eating good and have been in the gym as much as possible :) I have been getting on the elliptical for 20 mins after doing weights and if I dont do weights I get on the elliptical for as long as I can take it. There is also a basket ball court in there too so I shoot for a while afterwards if the court is open.Its fun. I miss my basket ball days. So I have been eating right like I said making wise decisions and drinking LOT and LOTS of water. I have had 2 sodas (diet sierra mist) in a week. I am proud of myself. I will get where I want to be it will just take time. I am determined. Well this is sweet and simple and to the point but I had to make sure I checked in and let everyone know what was going on im my life. I hope all is well with everyone else and as always I am here if anyone needs me :) TTYL!!!

A little snow... Work.... and BLOGGING

So I am stuck at work while everyone else is off and in bed. Kinda of mad about this lol. But I really do not get it there is no snow on the streets yet. I understand closing early if it gets bad but seriously... nothing is happening or has happened. Oh well Im here and got told I can bring my laptop and do as I please so I said what the hey, sounds like a good time to blog :) I have been going to the gym for the past two nights and all though the first was alone I am loving it!!! I was at the gym until midnight and had to be up today at 5:30. Any other time this would have killed me. Lately I am one of those people who if they do not get 8 hours of sleep feel like I am dragging all day long and since I am trying to completely cut caffeine out of my diet I NEED MY SLEEP!!! Getting back to my point just a week and a half of eating good vitamins and two nights at the gym I can feel a difference in my energy levels. Its amazing what kind of a change something has on your body in such little time. I am loving it and looking forward to warm weather.I have so many activities planned :) CAN NOT WAIT!! so this snow needs to move out of here quickly. We are supposed to get snow today and then go to 50 degree weather tomorrow. my allergies are going to be begging for mercy soon. This has been on going for some time now. I need to get out of house and enjoy fresh weather. So how has everyone been? Looks like a lot of people I followed are gone or mia :( Glad to see a few are still doing their thing and look to be doing a great job. Im proud of you all!! I missed this place and my blogging. Its like a family on here. We give advice when needed, pick each other up if we should fall, lend a ear if someone needs to vent (or an eye lol) we have each other back, we do not criticize, and the best one ever.... we do not give up on each other. we have faith in each other and know we all have what it takes to get where we need to be. We encourage each other to move on to continue to get up to SUCEED. Well I better get back to work, if there is any. TTYL!!! Stay Healthy Think Fit Get Out And Exercise! :)

First weigh in in almost a year geesh

Ok so I weighed in for my first weigh in in almost a year and I am overly proud of myself and my decisions this week.I lost 6.2 lbs in 7 days. GOSH I MISSED THIS FEELING!!! I am motivated now more than ever.Let me tell you a weigh in like that not only brightens your morning but is a highlight to your whole week. I am going to the gym tonight even though the person I signed up with has not been willing to go. I am upset about this because I didnt want to go by myself.I am one of those weirdos lol BUT I will not and I repeat in caps WILL NOT let this stop me. I will not give excuses anymore. NO NO. You dont find time to work out you make time. and you make time go to the gym not excuses of why you cant. I am determined, I am strong, I am ready, I will conquer!!!! Have a nice night everyone. Im going to get my little girl ready for bed and be on my way to the gym.
