Getting back to it!

OKAY its Saturday morning and I excited to get back to "the plan." It's 9:36 am right now and I'm hoping Billy will wake up soon and we will do something outdoors-ey. I've been wanting to play tennis for a long time, and we also haven't been rock climbing for a while either so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Billy will be down when he wakes up :) I'll post later the results of today!

OK Thanksgiving is over... time to get back to it :)

So thanksgiving was rough!!! I ate way to much (duh)! HAHA! BUT.... I did only have one plate each time I ate (Which was 3 times). The third one was a very skimpy plate, since I was basically forcing myself to eat it... I felt bad since Billy's dad was telling us not to be shy and they saved it all for us so we had to eat some of it. I am not even going to count calories for the past few days, but tomorrow I will start back up again and hopefully the same will be true of working out :) My legs feel so gross! Like when I sit down even I feel like it hurts because of the fat getting squeezed against the chair I am sitting on. I know that sounds crazy... but it's true!  And now that I know how to take screen shots I am excited to announce that I will be posting those within my blog :) YAY!! haha :)

Good night! and I'm not weighing in until Monday :)

I've lost 3 pounds already! 147 and dropping!

So far my plan seems to be working :) I am really paying attention to what I am eating, and its surprising how often I was eating before when I wasn't even hungry! And how little I am eating now (at least it seems like a little) and I haven't yet felt like, "oh I'm starving!" I'm also having fun going for walks and doing small things to work out. I'm not trying to go nuts, which would be nice for my body probably, but I know I don't have the energy or the time for that. For now I am just logging what I eat and trying to get outside as much as possible. I'm wanting to start going rock climbing again (me and billy used to go at least once a week), and since I'm still paying for the membership I might as well take advantage... I'm also planning on going to the gym tomorrow to cancel my membership. I know that sounds counter-productive... but I NEVER go! It's so boring working out at the gym, I would much rather do something outdoors! And why have I been paying for this gym membership that I am not using... who knows! So for now I am enjoying working out and weighing in :) I hope to keep this up! Hopefully by the time I need to put on a bikini I will be 135 with no cellulite :) that would be nice! haha!

I'm so proud of me!

I must say, I am proud of myself for today! And since I don't have a fancy shmancy iphone app to track my calories and take screen shots of.... I will just have to give you all the details :)

Total calories allowed daily:
1,644
Total calories eaten today:
1,459
Total leftover calories:
185

Go me for eating within my allowed calories for the day! ALSO I went for a bike ride today for about 90 mins. Billy and I rode our bikes down to Alta Loma Elementary (where I am doing my student teaching) because I had forgotten a few things. I really wanted to get the chance to work out today, so I made my errand into a fun workout, and even got Billy to come (which in and of itself is a workout!)

The only bad thing about starting this right now at this very moment is that in a few short days it will be thanksgiving, and I know for sure that this meal will be a big time cheater meal.... I don't even think I will attempt to count my calories that day, there is just way to much food and I don't even want to see how much it is in a number!

Now what should I choose to do for a workout tomorrow? I think a nice walk in the morning will be nice!! (hopefully it's not raining!)

Wish me luck!!!!!

Here we go again!

Ok let's give this another shot. It's been pretty much impossible for me to find time to work out lately (student teaching AND working at cheesecake). It's pretty much consuming my life. And surprisingly I have pretty much kept the same weight/lost a couple pounds. I am attributing that to my normal eating schedule since being at school. :) YAY SCHOOL! HAHA But I have noticed that my legs seem extra disgusting lately and I want to make sure that is something I nip in the butt before it gets out of control :) haha! So, I think I will try and bring my gym bag to school today.... I'm not making any promises, but a light run on the treadmill, or a swim might do me some good. Maybe since the weather isn't supposed to be too scorching hot today I will have time to squeeze in a jog in the great outdoors instead of on the treadmill... hmmmm.... I'll keep my fingers crossed and charge my ipod! Also I will post about it later :)

I wish I had a super cool iphone app that I could log my calories with! I have tried doing the ones online.... but its hard to log on all the time then input it would be way easier if I had a phone.... Maybe i'll also bring a notebook to school today where I will be able to log all my food for the day, and then input it once I get home at the end of the day! I will be trying two new things today! GO ME!
