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!!!

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

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...

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!!!

My Love Affair...
November 13th
So, I have not blogged in a well, even though I am busy and working like a crazy woman...I really can't make that an excuse. I can find the time to blog for 5-10 minutes. I just haven't been wanting to. Since my last blog, a few things have occurred in my life. I will type about one.
I finished my last half marathon for the year and it was horrible. First off, I had to drive to Farmington (for work) right after. Because of that, I told my husband not to bring the kids and cheer me on at the finish line. Because of this, at mile 11 I started to slow down and well, break down. My mind was telling my body to stop, to quit, to not do this anymore. This is only because I was so selfish, my family wasn't going to be at the finish line, cheering me on. I was telling my body to stop because I wouldn't be able to see the look on my children's face as I cross that line with a sense of pride. And because of this, I stopped to walk. (You will judge me after I type my next sentence.) I walked for .10 of a mile and was very disappointed with myself. I felt that lactic dump in my legs. Two women I passed at mile 5 just passed me...what the hell?? I told myself, "Come one Melanie, finish strong...you got this." I picked up and started to jog it out and at that last mile I got back to where I was. Surprisingly in the distance I saw my two cousins, aunt and friend. That brought me back to life and I got my second wind. Even though I finished strong, it was my worse time ever. I finished at 2.34...twenty minutes longer than my first.
What I should be saying, hell yeah...I am the ultimate bad ass...three half marathons for 2011!!! Just to let you know, I am very proud of myself and I know a lot of people will never accomplish this. But I am so damn competitive that I even compete with myself. Even though I might not be in church every Sunday, I thank God for everything he has blessed me with (on those long Sunday runs).
I followed a crazy carb load program two weeks prior to the race. I ate 95% carbs three days prior to long runs and the race. Because of this I jumped up to 165. Damn Gina that's seven pounds!! Immediately after my race I lost it all. Plus I took two weeks off. This was my first week back to exercising. Today was my first day back to running.
What I have realized is, even though my mind can play tricks with me and I have that feeling of quiting. I come back to it and truly it is my passion. One would describe it as love affair or a drug, becomes it is addicting. Some of you might think..."what the hell, I HATE to run". But honestly, it hits you when you least expect it. Bam, pow, wham...you're in love. And with that I will close with this...my worse race will always be better than the worlds best french fry, martini, chocolate pie or pizza.

What I should be saying, hell yeah...I am the ultimate bad ass...three half marathons for 2011!!! Just to let you know, I am very proud of myself and I know a lot of people will never accomplish this. But I am so damn competitive that I even compete with myself. Even though I might not be in church every Sunday, I thank God for everything he has blessed me with (on those long Sunday runs).
I followed a crazy carb load program two weeks prior to the race. I ate 95% carbs three days prior to long runs and the race. Because of this I jumped up to 165. Damn Gina that's seven pounds!! Immediately after my race I lost it all. Plus I took two weeks off. This was my first week back to exercising. Today was my first day back to running.
What I have realized is, even though my mind can play tricks with me and I have that feeling of quiting. I come back to it and truly it is my passion. One would describe it as love affair or a drug, becomes it is addicting. Some of you might think..."what the hell, I HATE to run". But honestly, it hits you when you least expect it. Bam, pow, wham...you're in love. And with that I will close with this...my worse race will always be better than the worlds best french fry, martini, chocolate pie or pizza.

one day could be bad, but wait until tomorrow...
Oct 1st
Hello all!! It's amazing how one day of running can be terrible and you want to quit and the next day be amazing and you realize that you are ready for your race. I came home early on Friday and got on the road to run 4 miles before meeting Adam at the bus stop. I thought the weather was not to hot, it was 75 and with a slight breeze. I got to mile 2 and was dying!! I walked for a while did some intervals just to keep my heart rate up. I couldn't finish strong. I thought to myself, "damn, if I can't finish this how am going to finish 13 in three week"? I still had to get out and run the following day. The following day you would have thought a totally different person was out on the road. I got on the road and finished at Adam's soccer game with 7 miles. I felt great and wished I could have ran longer. I forgot that it's totally normal to have a bad day at running.
Ladies, have a great day and thank you for the support!

I have come a long way....
Sept 27th
Frustrated with my weight, I took Jenna's advice and measured my body. I also pulled up my measurements from WW. Here are the results.
January 09 (when I started my weight lose journey, two months after Sofia was born)
Waist--38.5
Arms--13
Hips--43.5
Thighs--26
January 11
Waist--34
Arms--12
Hips--40.5
Thighs--24
September 11
Waist--33
Arms--12
Hips--40
Thighs--23
So, yes there has been changes since starting the blog!! I know I have a long way to go...but this slow journey means it will be harder to gain it all back. BTW, it's been 5 years since I popped a diet pill, laxative, slim fast, slim quick or any other crazy diet fad...From the time I was in eight grade until I was 26, I was constantly taking something to lose weight. I pray my daughter doesn't have to through this.

I am offically a cyclist
September 26th
I did it, I did it!!! I finished the 25 mile bike ride in 2 hrs. The first 12 miles was very hard and I wanted to quit. We were riding into the wind and it was no bueno...At the turn around, I stopped at the water station stretched ate an orange and had a better ride back. I want to tell you, my friend Alice kicked my butt!! She finished about 15 minutes faster than me.
Now on to the half...strict training from here on out. Wish me luck! Honestly in the back of my mind, I really don't think I can do it...

You would think I was 120 lbs!!!!
September 23rd
Frustration on my end. Right now my only goal is exercise. I have my half next month (which I am not as prepared as I should be) and a 26 mile bike race on Sunday. Did I mention this race is up and down crazy hills? I think I am ready, but I will be that guy coming in last place. I completed my first run in four months. I ran a 10k in 1 hr 4 minutes (with one potty break). I was very proud that I caught up with the group of started off with.
Anyhoo...I posted a new picture of myself. I don't think you notice anything different. But I see my belly somewhat smaller. I am a little frustrated. With all the FRICKEN exercise I do, you would think I would be 120lbs by now. In fact the opposite has happened. I went from 159 to 161...I know it's only 2lbs, but it's 2lbs in the opposite direction...and well, there's more to life than worrying about 2lbs, and yes it's probably muscle...but the vain woman inside me (inside ALL of us) is kind of upset!! This jelly belly HAS to go!!! Enough bitching...I know it takes time, the slower I take it off, the slower it comes back...right?

Running in the Rain, I'm running in the rain...
September 10th
Two things happened ten years ago in September. A horrific event that changed the lives of every American...and to think 9/11 brought us all together, regardless of race, religion and political background. I hope tomorrow we can reflect and come together again as one, not fight amongst each other. I am so sick of everyone blaming the other person. We have forgotten what this country was built on. I hate to sound political but, all parties should cut all the bullshit and work together. I am so sick of EVERY politician working for themselves and the corporate contributors. We have it on both sides...I think everyone of our politician's is a corporate sell out. Ok, so I fell off the subject of the two events in my life. Sorry, no more politic talk! The second event in my life was the beginning of what was going to be a career. I began a life of cars ten years ago this month. I had only been with the Garcia Group working a finance assistant (gofer) for two weeks when 9/11 happened. A decade has passed since the Pearl Harbor of our generation and my beginning in the car business. I have come far from the 22 year old girl working funding delays and picking up lunch. I know I am not comparing the two. But a lot has happened in my life in that decade. I pray that my children will not have to experience an event so tragic as 9/11. I am also so grateful that a dear friend of mine was safe and sound.
I have told you that I have been scared to run by myself. Mainly because of encountering loose dogs. But I have done a few miles here and there without a running partner. But this morning I knew I needed to do a six miler. My running partner couldn't make it and I knew I needed to do it today. I did great except around mile 3. There were two suspicious men in a van hanging around the main road I run on. So, I decided to hike up another road that leads to our urgent care, run behind the HS football field then have Paul pick me up. Not only was I worried about the men, it started to sprinkle on me. I got to where we were supposed to meet, but no Paul. There was more traffic so I felt safe and ran until I caught up with Paul. The strange van had left. I could have ran all the way home...why am I such a scaredy cat? Anyways, I ran in the rain and it started to pick up. Not counting the creepy old men in the van. I had a really good run and am confident I will do well next Sunday. Plus, I really enjoy running in the rain. Actually my favorite time to run is when the weather is gloomy and it's 60-70's.
I know I go off the road sometimes with my blogs. I apologize. But I truly thank you for ALL the support, I take it to heart. It's great to have such great cheerleaders!!!

Run, bike, run, repeat...
Sept 7th
I started writing my blog, and decided to delete what I had. It's not fair to my husband for me to air our dirty laundry. So, this blog will not have any negative comments towards my husband. It's all about me, like it should be...right? I am still running and riding my bike. I am not doing the tri this weekend. I am NOT ready! I do have my 10k on the 18th, I also have a bike ride in Acoma on the 25th. So, if I am not running, I am riding my bike. I am up to 5 miles on my running and 12 miles on my bike.
I started drinking a drink from the Dr Oz show. It includes; cucumber, spinach, apple, lemon, and celery. I have been drinking it every morning. It keeps me full and honestly it's GOOD. The only BAD thing about it is...I GET GASSY!!! I know, you REALLY wanted to hear that. I am really trying to watch what I eat. I know that what I eat really effects my runs. I ate like a big'ol fat man Sunday and I really felt it on my Monday run.
I am getting there. I see 150 in my future!! I know I have done very well...but 158-160 is still too heavy for a 5'2 frame. I just need to get rid of my stomach, that's all I am asking for!!!

Another month passes by
September 1st
Really, it's September already?? I guess times flies when you're having fun?? Nope, I am not 5 lbs lighter...whaa whaa. But I am not going to get upset, I didn't work at it. So, with a new month is some new goals...or maybe the same goals but just revamped. I am keeping my weight loss goal, organizing goal, relationship goal and finance goal.
This fat girl has not stuck to a diet plan in several months. I hate to say I am on a diet, because I always fail with "diets". I have WW's, but I have not logged in, in several weeks. Why the hell am I going to pay $17 a month when I don't even use it? I am exercising still. I just think to myself, "Self, if you just took care of this eating thing, you would not have to worry about the inner tube under your shirt!". Honestly, I justify my eating with saying I exercise a lot, so I can. I know don't want to be where I was two years ago, so that should be enough, right? I'm slowly creeping into my bad habits. This week I ate lunch only because it was lunch time, not because I was hungry. This month I am going to watch what I put in my pie hole. It should be easy to say no, right? Plus I am in training mode. I have a few races coming up in the next couple of months. I solved my own problem while typing this blog, I have to keep it in my noggin that I have races coming up and I can't eat the chips, ice cream, seconds or anything in between.
Organization is a bad word. Why I can't I be organized? Is it an Aries thing? Or just a lazy thing? Or maybe it's because I was the baby and spoiled? I bet it's because my father left my mother when I was five and clutter keeps me sane?? What ever it is, I need to fix it! I need to be organized in every areas of my life! I will accomplish this, one day at a time. I am going back to setting a small goal everyday.
Money, money, money...who isn't having issues with this? I myself just need to be patient for six more months. My husband graduates in February and with that comes a JOB (hopefully)!!!! I hate bills! I hate the fact that Direct TV charges for HD...really? I have to pay an extra $10 for a clearer picture? And of course, my husband NEEDS it. I don't NEED TV. I am so close to turning satellite off!! I am waiting for word from my company about company cars. I am limbo right now. If I get one, I can sell my car. That car payment I was making can go towards credit card debt. I will be done paying off my debt in May, then that payment plus the one I was making prior will all go to savings. My goal is to triple my savings account by December 2012. I got this! I just hate stupid phone bills and cable bills.
Relationships...I have issues. That's all I am saying.
I know I have done good this year, I am down 10lbs since starting this. Thanks for reading!

Just a normal blog...
August 20th
Damn Gina, it's already the 20th??? Where the hell did the time go? I am out of the 150's...don't jump up and down...I went backwards and stepped into 161 again. WTF? I have been at that weight for a while now. I am going to make an excuse, but I think it's muscle. I have been using Insanity, not consistently but I have noticed my arms and stomach. I have never been committed to "video workouts", but I love Insanity. It's tough, but it's done in less than 40 minutes. I recommend it to anyone.
So on to the rest of my life...I am working like a mad woman. Things are starting to get crazy. I plan on working my little booty off, but I also plan on taking some time off in November.
Ladies, I have nothing else to say...have a great weekend!!

Fatso...
August 12th
I am sick and tired of being such a slob...I have really been in a funk with eating. Saturday is when I will be going back on weight watchers...that seems to work. I need to really stop eating out. This weekend I am going grocery shopping. My list will focus on bringing lunch with me and putting my lunch box in the trunk so I don't eat it by 10.30! I am going backwards and it sucks!!!! I am tired of this gut!!!! I would like NOT to have an inner tube under my shirt. I know I have come a long way from being 195 lbs. But for my 5'2 frame, 160 is still too big. Yes, I am 16 lbs lighter than when I got married, but still 160 is obese...isn't that nuts? I am giving myself until THANKSGIVING to lose 15 lbs...I KNOW I CAN DO THIS!!! I would like to get to that 130 lb goal for the end of the year. I am not asking to be super skinny...but it would be nice to be a size 8. With this Judy Booty, I know I will never be a size 6, but I know I can be 130, because I have done it before. And for Vanity's sake, I was 127 lbs ;). I will be back, I know I don't EVER want to be where I was...
Ladies, thanks for the support!

I am sick and tired of being such a slob...I have really been in a funk with eating. Saturday is when I will be going back on weight watchers...that seems to work. I need to really stop eating out. This weekend I am going grocery shopping. My list will focus on bringing lunch with me and putting my lunch box in the trunk so I don't eat it by 10.30! I am going backwards and it sucks!!!! I am tired of this gut!!!! I would like NOT to have an inner tube under my shirt. I know I have come a long way from being 195 lbs. But for my 5'2 frame, 160 is still too big. Yes, I am 16 lbs lighter than when I got married, but still 160 is obese...isn't that nuts? I am giving myself until THANKSGIVING to lose 15 lbs...I KNOW I CAN DO THIS!!! I would like to get to that 130 lb goal for the end of the year. I am not asking to be super skinny...but it would be nice to be a size 8. With this Judy Booty, I know I will never be a size 6, but I know I can be 130, because I have done it before. And for Vanity's sake, I was 127 lbs ;). I will be back, I know I don't EVER want to be where I was...
Ladies, thanks for the support!

Great Times
August 11th
So how do I start this blog??? Well, I had a WONDERFUL weekend!! I had so much fun Thursday at Karaoke (Japanese accent). Friday was a fun filled shopping day. My baby boy got his first Jordan's...yes I said hit FIRST JORDAN'S! Was it my choice? Ah, no...only because he's almost six and will have grown out of the shoes in six months. But he does look sharp in them. Saturday was soo much fun!! I don't know what it is about getting together with my girls...but we become so silly. I absolutely love hanging out with my besties...it must be done more! Sunday I definitely rested!!
Yes ladies I have a visit from a nasty friend that wasn't even invited!! Damn you!!! Go home, nobody wants you here...you make me CRAZY!!!!!
So I start training for my October half next week. I am a little nervous, since I haven't been running a lot in the last two months. I think the longest I have ran is three miles...wish me luck. As much as I want to do the tri---I don't see it happening. The only time to train for the swim is in the middle of the day, that's not going to work. Ah, maybe next year.
If you have those friends that have always been in you life...I suggest you hold on to them as tight as you can!
Ladies thank you for the support! Let's go team!!

**See all dealers on my list
**Eat right...no ice cream!!

Hey WEEKEND...I'M READY!!!
August 2nd
I have a BIG weekend coming up. Thursday night we are going out to sing Karaoke (w/Japanese accent). I am practicing...mee mee mee, I like my chicken fried...cold beer on a Friday night! Friday I am taking the day off and will be school shopping. Saturday...I get to hang out with some pretty amazing women. I am attending a bridal shower and then a bachlorette party for a dear friend from high school. And Sunday...maybe some bloody mary's? I am so excited!! She is are last friend in our group to take the "plunge" into marriage. I don't know if I will be able to make it to the wedding, but I will not miss this weekend!!!
I am kicking butt with my exercise...but sucking at eating...sad face. I know, I know....on the wagon, off the wagon. The good thing is, no weight gain....that shouldn't be good news. I should be bummed that I didn't hit my August goal of 155lbs! That means I have to lose 10lbs this month!! Not really, I am not that crazy. If I worked my ass off, I know I could...but I do love my food. I am not going to deprive myself from food. I just need to learn portion control!
Ladies, thank you for the support!!! Let's go team!!
Goals
**Exercise
**See all dealers on my list
**Eat smart
** Get breast pump ready
My 5's
>>Being healthy
>>Being sore
>>My fence (crazy old neighbor can't look into our TV room w/his binoculars)
>>Getting to rub on Netty's belly this weekend
>>Fun times this weekend!!! Not wild...

On the wagon...off the wagon...
July 28th
I swear...I am stuck with my weight. My problem, like others is rewarding with food. I know some have this problem. I am one of them. The past few weeks I have rewarding my big'ol belly with yummy treats. Well, no wonder the scale is NOT going down. So once again I am back on the WW wagon. The great thing about this, I know how many points I earn from exercise. I earned 10 yesterday from swimming and running.
I am going to do my mini-tri. I know I can be ready by September. I also will start running this weekend. My insanity program is kind of on the back burner. I will be doing it this morning. But it's only my third time. I figure, the days I am not outside exercising, I am on the insanity tapes.
I thought of what you all said about acting. I got on the NM Movie website and right now there are no cattle calls. The Adobe Theatre will be auditioning for Tom Sawyer. Can you see me as Aunt Polly? I doubt it, but I am seriously thinking to audition. I'll keep you posted.
Ladies, thank you for all the support!! Let's go team!!
