159 WHAT?????????????

So I weighed myself yesterday and i'm down to 159!!!!!! :) So happy right now just thought I would share!!

Melting Away......

So i'm down to 160!! well between 160-163 depending on the day ha ha, but i'm down 35lb's and I can hardly believe it!!!!! feels really good, I went to the gym 5x last week, obviously once I get a new job I won't be going as often but i'm gonna try to keep it to 3x a week.  :)

It's been awhile

So it's been awhile since I posted, Aug 3rd to be exact, most of you probably haven't realized I deleted my facebook for a little bit. But I did, i'll be back on in a little bit though so no worries :) anyways i've really  been focusing hard and hitting the gym just as hard, this week alone i've been 3 times already and it's only Thursday! I'm going tomorrow and Saturday as well and I can finally feel the inches starting to come off :) I'm still having stomach issues though, why is that the last place it comes off?????????? Anyone have any suggestions for ways to get rid of my spare tire, I know that crunches work obviously and I feel my muscles getting stronger but the fact is the fat is still on top of my muscles! I am sucking in in the second picture obviously lol but my pants hold my stomach in very well as well, thanks to my amazing boyfriend who bought me the Nike running capris :)

There is a reason why you shouldn't work in a medical office

Okay so i've been neglecting my blog...i'm horrible and to top it off I was so busy with work at VBS that I didn't go to the gym for a WEEK! it totally threw me off, I went and did Kwando Monday night with my friend Angela and I really liked it, it totally kicked my butt though, anyways my diet has been HORRIBLE and I mean HORRIBLE, everyday someone is bringing in coffee or bagels or donuts, I ate 2 bagels from Noah's (it was sooooo good though) and luckily I only had one donut but I have had pretty much a coffee everyday and Monday I had a coffee then I had a blended creme frap in the afternoon, (again HORRIBLE) my lunches haven't been so bad though, Brian took me to Safeway on Sunday and bought me a whole bunch of healthy lunch stuff and breakfast stuff so i've been atleast eating healthy breakfasts and i'm trying to drink enough water but ive been struggling with that as well because I hate having to pee every 20 minutes! I'm hopefully going to a nutritionist soon because i've been at this weight for a couple months now and luckily i'm not going up in weight but i'm definately not going down like I would like too. although i'm hoping my fat % is still going down, I haven't checked it recently, Tomorrow hopefully i'm doing Zumba and kick starting my gym time, the other thing that sucks is my gym is 14 miles out of the way which isn't bad but when you get off at 4pm after being up at 5:30 you don't want to do any extra driving, I really can't wait until I can get a job in Clackamas, Oregon City or somewhere along those lines so i'm way closer to everything, I seriously feel like i'm on the other side of the country because there is nothing in Woodburn, and I don't hang out in that area at all. Oh well enough with my ranting. Thanks for tuning in!

Gulp...Gulp....Gulp

So Friday was my first day at my new job (YAY) anyways I had 2 coffees (eek) but technically I had like 1 and quarter (the second was bought for me and I had already had a coffee so I didn't need it but I didn't want to be rude) anyways thats not the good news the good news is I managed to drink 5 (32oz) bottles of water that day, I was peeing every 10 minutes as if I were pregnant (lol i'm obviously not but a girl in the office is and so I just stated I was having sympathy bladder for her ha ha) I didn't work out yesterday and I didn't work out today (I had to drive to Albany and Brian had a 10am PT that I wouldn't be able to make it too) but i'm gonna go hiking tomorrow and then Wednesday I will work out, I have to help mom with VBS Monday, Tuesday is CC night so I have to wait til Wednesday but I will be ready for it....I hope lol

You did what?????????????????

So today I worked out with my friend Angela for 2 hours (YAY) then came home and was starving and ended up eating an entire box of Macaroni & Cheese (BOO) On the plus side I did burn over 500 calories so I guess i'm still okay as long as I have a healthy dinner and snack. I did even do the eliptical on a 20 incline and 5 resistance, I can already feel it...........I'm gonna be sore tomorrow for sure. I spoke with my friend who is a Nutritionist and for $70 I will get a menu plan, shopping list, counseling etc, and a 1 hour session and so I figure that's the best course of action, i've been working out for 5 weeks and i've only seen a slight difference in fat percentage loss, weight loss, etc. and I figure it's gotta be my nutrition, and eating habits, so here is hoping I get enough money soon so I can get this figured out, I never realized it was going to be this hard!

Breaking up is hard to do......................

So today I got a big reality check, I realized how much I do not like my body in a bathing suit, i've been working really hard and well apparently it's still not hard enough, you know how they say people have hour glass shapes?? Well I have one not only on my side where my stomach is but I literally have another one between my saddlebags and my stomach, it looks like I have a muffin top even when I am naked it's ridiculous, I need to get rid of these saddlebags ASAP, i'm fine with my stomach on the sides, I need to lose a few inches there but I hate my saddlebags, the rest of my legs are fine aside from my butt which I am working on, I know they always say oh you just have good birthing thighs but I don't think jiggly thighs equal out to being able to have an easy childbirth down the road whenever Brian and I get married, IDK maybe I should start seeing a nutrionist when I start getting paid, figure out exactly what I am doing wrong, I know I shouldnt eat fast food, chocolate, portion size etc but after that i'm lost, luckily Brian loves eating healthy (most of the time) and he loves buying organic food so once we get married and move into our house it will be easy to get good quality food all the time since he goes to several whole foods twice a week. I have no problem eating healthy good tasting recipes and cooking, I have almost 30 cookbooks and an overly stuffed shoe box full of recipes as well(yes quite a few are dessert cookbooks, (yes I am a sucker for desserts but I don't eat nearly as many as I used to) I need direction!!!!!!!
