Getting back into this

Geez... where does the time go. Weeks have been flying by so fast I can't believe its going to be October in a few days. I am doing so well with Weight Watchers. I love it. I am following the plan and exercising. I have lost 49 lbs so far. Just 11.6 to go. I don't care how long it takes either. As long as something comes off every week. I am hitting my workouts hard core. The gym is the LAST place I want to be..... the same crap all the time. So I have been taking bootcamp classes on Saturday mornings. I write down everything we did and redo it on Sundays and during the week. I love it. Also.....ZUMBA. Its what everyone talks about. Emmi is a latina pro now...LOL. I borrowed the dvd from my coworker and ordered my own set the next day. They should be here tomorrow. I want to look like those skinny ass bitches on the tape and shake my ass. LOL LOL. Getting up every morning before work and do the 20 min one to start my day. Love exercising first thing, but wish I didn't have to leave for work at 6am.

Started school last week. By the end of December, I will be a Personal Trainer. Who wants me to kick their ass...LOL.

Weigh In

Went to Weight Watchers yesterday. Lost 2.6 lbs for a total of 42.2 lbs gone forever. I am more excited that I only have 18.4 lbs to go until I get to my weight loss goal of 130 lbs. I am very motivated and have that push that school starts in 50 day. I can't wait to start school to become a personal trainer. Its something I wanted to do for a long time.

I am leaving on Friday afternoon for vacation...woo hoo, I can't wait. Flying to Florida to see Eric's bestfriend, Mom and brother. Never met any of them yet. Not worried about it. They want to go to the beach. I am okay with that. (just wished I was a little more tan...lol). Then going to the other side of Florida to stay with my parents. Eric met them already 2x. They all like each other so that makes it easy for us. I plan on staying focused on my goal. Want to try and eat as healthy as I can. I know at my parents it won't be a problem, but at his friends and his mom's, I have no idea how they eat. I already discussed with Eric that he must help me with food. If they want to eat crap, he must make sure we find something for me to eat. I am not eating garbage just to make people happy. Besides I eat so healthy now, that I am sure if I did it unhealthy food I would start feeling like crap!!! AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT THAT.

Hungry

I don't know what the problem is. I have been so hungry the last few days. Maybe its from all the exercise. I have been upping my food intake a little, cus I don't like it when I wake up feeling weak. I lost .8 lbs this week at WW. Needed 1.2 to reach 40 lbs, but that will happen next week for sure. I am taking the day off from the gym. I am physically exhausted and my body needs a rest and time to recover. I

snail trail

Its official. I can no longer go by what the scale says!!! It doesn't move. It gets so frustrating, but I NEVER let it get to me. I know that I am doing crazy amounts of cardio and weight lifting. It is because of the weights that the scale doesn't move much. (MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT) I now only go by my measurements. I check it weekly (Thursdays) but only log my measurements every 2 weeks.

This is the best way to see results. How your clothes fit. Ever notice how the scale fluxuates from one day to the other??? From the amount of water you drank to the amount of salt you consume.... makes me want to throw the scale out the window.

So from now on, I only weigh in on Sunday mornings at my Weight Watcher meeting & will do my weekly measurements at home.

Everyone have a great weekend... Think its suppose to rain... gives me an excuse to clean the house...lol

Want to live my dream

Was reading Stacy's comment to me the other day. She hit the nail on the head..... She said "I'm looking desperately to find a way to turn this into a career." (referring to speaking to people about her Gastric Bypass Surgery & how amazingly well she has done.) I too want so bad to get out of my job. I HATE it. (I work for my brother, who owns a janitorial supply company & a commerical cleaning business). I am his office manager. I work 9 1/2 hours a day and I am sick of it.

That is why I decided to go back to school and become a personal trainer/nutritionist. It isn't about the $$$ anymore. I want to do something I LOVE.... something I am passionate about. Eating healthy and exercise is something I crave everyday. I want to help and teach people about how much better they will feel if they stop eating sugar and proccessed foods. If they just exercise everyday for 30 minutes, they will have more energy to do more and feel great.

Some how I will make this work.....I WILL MAKE THIS WORK!!!

vacation & training

I just booked a vacation to florida for me and eric. We are flying into Ft myers to visit his best friend and his mom. (3 days) I have never met either one of them. It should be interesting. They have already planed the weekend at Marco Island. (a beach). Should be fun meeting people I never met before wearing a bathing suit. Ahhhh that should be very interesting. Then we are driving to the other side of Florida to Daytona Beach to stay with my parents for the rest of the week. Can't wait to swim in there pool all day long and do NOTHING... LOL. (6 days with my parents).

I already told Eric that no matter what, I am going to find a way to exercise everyday. It isn't a matter of choice. Its just gonna happen. I been working out very hard lately since I have 63 days till school starts. I need today off. My body hurts everywhere from weight training. I need a day to recover. I am loving what I am seeing as far as results. The scale isn't moving very fast, but my clothes are a lot looser. I figured muscle weighs more than fat and since I feel and look a lot better, I don't let what the scale says bother me anymore.

Have a great day everyone and move your butts a little today.

Where have I been

I really need to make time for myself now. I miss all my online friends. I miss blogging. So much has changed since I last posted. I am still with Eric. He is the best!!! It will be 2 years next month. I joined Weight Watchers again. I am down 37 lbs so far and have 23 to go. I got my trainer Mike back at the gym. 2x a week he kicks my ass and the other 5x I kick my own ass...lol I love weight training so much that I am going to school in Sept to be a personal trainer. I want a different life now. Sick of sitting behind a desk for 9 hours a day. I want to help and motivate people to live better lives. Inside and out.

Eric is looking to become a police officer. We want out of NY. Way to expensive here. I am sick of paying $2400 mortgage payment every month. I want to move down south somewhere. I told him to apply in Alabama so I can be closer to Emmi and help her get her butt back into shape.

I have completely changed the way I eat. I am a natural foods girl. I don't eat any processed foods or sugar. I can't tell you how much better I feel since giving up sugar. You know I don't even crave it anymore either. Lots of veggies, proteins and fresh fruit. Its great. Lucy eats like me too, but Eric sometimes. He cannot give up his "Ben and Jerry's"...lol.

Going to try and post as often as I can.... hope to hear from all of you.
