January 16th
First off...HAPPY MLK DAY!! Today is exactly a month away from...CANCUN!!!! I am so excited. But I am so not ready for a bathing suit. So, what I started today is a rigid workout and eating program. I know I do this ALL the time...and then I crash and burn. And I always say, "This time I am going to stick to it!!". Well it takes about a dozen times to brake bad habits, and I think I am on a bakers dozen. So here is the plan, Stan:
**Workout--I plan to workout 5x a week. Spin class 3 days a week, run 2 days a week and 20 minutes of weight training after my cardio workouts. If I miss a class or run I will complete an insanity DVD.
**Diet--NO FRIED FOODS AND NO DRINKING!!! I am going to limit my carb intake in the evening. I am going to log everything in my WW app. No diet cokes or sugar. I plan to break up my meals and eat six times a day.
**Cheat Days--I have three cheat days, I am going to give myself. I plan to cheat next Saturday, for Adam's wrestling banquet. They are serving enchiladas...I can't say no to that, right? I also will cheat the weekend of the Super Bowl. That Saturday, my cousins and I will be staying the night in ABQ to shop, drink and shop a little more. Then Sunday is the big game...do I have to explain what goes on that day??? But besides those days, it's STRICT, STRICT, STRICT!!!
You are probably thinking, "Well, shouldn't this have been her regular schedule all a long?". Honestly, I have been pretty lazy for about a month and half. I am getting back to it, because I notice my belly growing and a double chin coming on. I figure, I work it until the trip, it gives me some room if I gain weight over the five days of Margaritas, Chips and Salsa!!!
I really want to stick to this plan after the trip. I need to get back on track, I can't make any more excuses. I am glad I am going on this trip...yes because it shows the hard work from 2011. But because it makes me GET BACK ON TRACK!!! I was really acting like a big'ol fat man. I can't throw everything I have accomplished out the window. So...here I goooo!!!!!
Let's go team!!!
Goals
**Spin/Weights
**Eat right
**Make appointments with dealers for the week

Happy New Year!!
January 4th
Another year has come and gone. I really don't think I am going to change any goals. I am just going to continue working on me this year. This year's goals revolve around challenging myself. I will focus on three areas in my life; fitness, clutter, and work.
Fitness goals this year include two big events. I plan to complete a FULL marathon in October. To help me accomplish this, I plan to run three half marathons this year. I wanted to run the El Paso, but they moved it up a month (to February) and I have not started running yet. (Tomorrow is my first day back!). I also have another event I am going to prepare for this summer, and that is a mini-tri. I figure, if I am continually training, I won't fail in losing more weight. I really just want to tone and tighten this body up. I have accepted the fact that I will NEVER be super skinny and to be honest, I don't think I really want to be super skinny. I want to be that girl that others say, "Wow, look at those arms!", or "Damn, I want those calves.". It's not going to happen over night, but it will happen.
Clutter is something I am just used to. Clutter and being unorganized fits both my personal life and my work life. I have this desk that I cleaned a half dozen times and it is still morphins into a hot mess. I also have a rats nest of papers that need to be shredded. (That was a goal from last year, I never accomplished!) My car is a mess, my portfolio for work is a mess, my bathroom (only my side) is a mess...you getting the picture, right? Slowly, I will take over the mess, clutter, unorganization, in my life one day at a time.
Work, work, work. Without getting into the details, I want to tackle a few things. We are moving towards a different direction with our company. I want to be the rep that leads by example. By doing this, I will make more appointments and set dealers accountable. I will be the expert of all our products. Without boring you...I have a lot I want to accomplish and it must be done quick.
Ladies, I vow to blog at least once a week...to keep myself on track. Thank you for the support!
Goals
**Workout (morning/evening)
**See all my dealers
**Wash my car
My 5's
>>Sweating
>>Fruit
>>Sleep
>>Night cream
>>Guidance and advice from the mother of all FT'ers...

What a year!
December 30th
It's been a hell of a year. I really can't believe that we have two more days left. Where did the time go? I'll tell you where it went...it went into accomplishing goals or getting close to those goals. For me, I can't say that I accomplished every single goal I had at the beginning of the year. I could beat myself up for not accomplishing most of my goals I set at the beginning of the year. But why? Why not celebrate the few accomplishments I had this year? So, instead of being Debbie Downer, I will be upbeat and proud of what I did this year. Before I do that, the small DD in me has to complain about the last month of the year and here I go...
December was a hell of a month. First off, my baby girl was in the hospital for a week. With many prayers and talented doctors and nurses, she is back to her old self. But for me, it was a bit stressful to see my baby girl in a hospital bed with an IV placed in her arm. She was a trooper and I am so proud at how brave she was. Secondly, I traveled two weeks out of the month, to and from Dallas and Denver. There was not one time I worked a full week in the field. As a result, I didn't hit my goal and had the worst month of the year. Lastly, my eating and exercise fell to the waste side. I worked out a total of 4x this month, w/no running! What a piece of work I am. I feel yucky and my belly is bloated. I think I need to become friends with Jamie Lee Curtis and buy some Activa. But, I am not going to let this one month be what I think of the whole year. (As a side note, I read my first blog and I described how December was a shitty, lazy month for me a year ago. I should have read that blog at the beginning of the month and not fallen in the same rut. Or I can just realize that December is my month that I take a break, however I see it...December is a no bueno month for healthy living!)
My goal this year was to lose 30 lbs. I didn't follow through with that, but I did lose 10 lbs. I did not get to the size 6 I wanted, I am wearing a size 12 loose. Even though my weight has always been an issue, I am not going to stress about the numbers. The only way I am going to be 130 or a size 6 is if I deprive myself of everything and work out 6 days a week. I really don't want to do that. I like eating and I love food. I have learned how to say no and stop when I get full. I also don't eat like a pig on weekdays and I only drink a few drinks on the weekends. If I lose 10 more pounds I will be happy and that is what I am going to focus on next year.
I ran and ran and ran and I am still loving my running. This year I ran three half marathons, one 10k and a 5k. I am so proud of what I accomplished this year! This is the only real goal that I followed through with. I realize the only reason I followed through with it, is because of the passion I have for running. I have set a goal for 2012 and this will include a full marathon in October. I also have some plans for a mini Tri in the summer.
I am still working on other goals; such as, organizing my life and my house. It's baby steps...this will always be a work in progress.
Ladies, I just want to thank each and every one of you for the support you gave me throughout the year. I am not mad for not accomplishing the goals I set out. I am happy that I came close and didn't give up all together. That truly is the accomplishment...I DIDN'T QUIT! I fell short, but that's ok. Theresa, thank you for having the bright idea of the Follow Through Club. Even though I have not blogged every single day, I am going to continue with this in 2012. I put out some of my 2012 goals, but I really am going to reevaluate them and tweak them. I will have a more detailed plan for you in a few days. As always, I must go...but I will leave you with this...You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try – you don't take the risk."

Asshole!!!
December 14th
Ladies, I am my worst enemy. I gained some weight. After committing to losing a few extra pounds for year end, I gained 6 lbs!!! I was in Dallas last week for our annual sales meeting. I drank too much and ate even more!! During these meetings, I usually have no more than two drinks and go to bed by 10.30 and workout every morning. That didn't happen this time!! Because, I don't get to hang out with my counterparts from Denver. They usually don't want to hang out after work and want to get home to their families. With all of us not having to rush home, we caught up on family, gossip, markets, and poke fun at each other. So, I drank a few too many beers and did the one thing that has gotten me in to trouble in the past...order late night room service. Yuck!
Since I have been home, I got back on track with WW's and working out. Thankfully, I have lost two pounds. But I need to lose 4 more and on top of that 4 more to be 155. It also doesn't help that I am PMSing...I swear I get moodier and moodier the older I get. I know it's PMS, but it doesn't stop me from being an asshole to my husband, mother and everyone around me. I want to get over this and feel better again. Plus, my boobs have been hurting for two weeks now.
I know, I know...I shouldn't complain so much. But I feel a little bit better when I blog. So, I know this day will be somewhat better.
Thanks for the support!

Home Office...no bueno
December 5th
So, I started WW's again. I tracked everything. I went over on my points...surprise surprise. I had to stay home today. If you don't already know, the 505 is a winter wonderland. It's been snowing all night and all day. I wanted to catch a spin class today, but they were all canceled. I truly hate working from home. I know I shouldn't make an excuse...but that's the only time I cheat. Blah...
No more negativity...on to something else. I will be in Dallas this week. I will get some workouts in while I am there. It's nice, because I don't have to worry about getting anyone ready. I will also be in Taos this weekend for a wrestling tournament.
I see 150...

I ate like a pig...what the hell is wrong with me? It's always nice to know that tomorrow is a new day...right? Working from home is the worse. I think it's a free for all in eating. One day at a time, right? Why is it so hard? Food is my vice...hi my name is Melanie, and I am addicted to food. If I was REALLY strict, I would be at my goal from January. I have to shake this...it was one bad day. I have to look at the positives...sorry for the pity party.

Last mile in the race...
December 1st
This is the last month of 2011...where did the time go? For me, I don't know...but what I do know is, I have become a slacker to my blog. I am going to treat my blog like a race...and finish strong! I WILL blog every day in December, even if it means a few lines. I should not put my blog on the waste side. I can't make the excuse that I don't have time, when in reality I do have the time. I will finish strong this month!!!
I have been trying to fight a cold over a week and half. When I came home from Las Vegas, my body was hit with a horrible virus. Go figure, I got sick during my vacation. So you know what this means, I have not exercised. In two weeks the only workout I have done is walking the strip, running two miles on the strip and the Turkey Trot. (Not to get off subject, when I ran in Vegas I ran with my husbands cousin. He is fit, but was hurting at mile 1. It made me feel good that this big booty Judy can out run a guy!) So what I am trying to get at is...I need to get BETTER so I can get in the gym!!!!!
I am sitting at 158. Realistically I will would like to be 155 lbs by New Years Eve.
Thank you for the support!!!
Goals
**Month end work
**Reevaluate 2011 goals and think about 2012 goals
**Put up some Christmas decorations

>>Get to work at home
>>Good friends
>>Weekends
