Week 25... 80 pounds lost!!!

Sep 15, 2011

Hi my OH family,
For almost two week, every morning I've been getting up and exercising. I've been doing cardio with weights to my favorite songs or kick boxing moves to metal (lots of fun) basically anything for 45 mins to get my heart pumping and sweat flowing. I'm sore as hell but it was ALL worth it....
Since I've started I've lost 7.8 pounds. OMG!!!!! Not only that, I feel so empowered and my body is new to me. I can do things now I could never do at 314. I mean, its TRULY amazing. I admit, in the beginning I couldn't find my groove with the exercise, it was tedious and boring and now... I LOVE IT.

Job front, I got the job!!!! The pay is lowsy but at least I have a job. Not only do I have this job, I run around the amusement park ALL day (burning calories) take pictures AND I work Halloween haunt... fun. So I am very blessed and appreciative of my new gig. My mother and most of my family tell me I'm crazy for getting this job because I'm too good for it. It really bums me out but I ignore them, I'm happy I got this job. I won't be stuck in an office all day feeling bored and anxious. I can be running aroound in a positive atmosphere getting some much needed exercise. :)

So I train on Monday and Orientation on Tuesday. I'm really excited. One downer is I start that weekend, which is the weekend of the NorCal Meet :( I'm going to have to miss this one and hopefully I'll be able to attend the next. SHout out to everyone whose going "Shake those booties!" ;)

Stress level is DOWN... finally. The job and gaining control of eat and food has helped alot. At night I still struggle though. Last night I wanted something sweet and started looking around the cupboards. After looking I went to the firdge and took out a green apple. Sliced it up and ran to my room and enjoyed.... it was DAMN good. lol and I'm happy I made that choice instead of the stale chocolate chip cookie I had my eye on. lol

In this mental battle, I won today. But I know that somedays the stale cookie's will win too. I just need to NOT beat myself up about it and push on.

2 weeks till my 6 month goal. When I started this journey I wanted to hit 100 pounds lost in 6 months but for now I'll take 85 pounds. So the next two weeks, my goal is to hit 217, 4 more pounds to go to hit 85 pounds lost.
I know I can do it. With my job and new found love to kick butt in exercising... I can do it. I will get there.

Everyone Rock it out. Kill ii. We're doing it and getting to goal
Take Care
