Surprise, Surprise!

Meetings seem to work! I went for my first weigh in at meetings today, and I lost 1.6 lbs! Woohoo! I also got a "Bravo!" sticker for having my first loss since who knows when. It feels good to be moving in the right direction again!

Stickerrrrrrr!

The cool thing about being a Monthly Subscriber? The fact that it updates my eTools automatically with my weigh in! Yay! That is a pleasant surprise.

Also as I was leaving, a member came up to me and said that she was so glad I started coming to meetings because I, and I quote, "add a lot of life to them" which made my day. I told her thank you so much for saying that, because I needed to hear something positive today. My friends who know me in real life know that I easily add life to any gathering because I am LOUD. My first meeting, I sat in the back and basically shouted my opinions. Hahaha.


Other WWers: where do you put your stickers? I couldn't think of anywhere to put mine, except in my weight record. Is that a good place? Should I get a special sticker booklet? Or put it on my motivation wall? Hmmm


I also went to the gym tonight- shock. I made a promise and a goal this week to go to the gym 3 times. All three times I would do strength training, and 2 of the 3 times I would do cardio. I just did strength training tonight and a bit of tanning and it was good. I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly sweaty. I think I enjoy lifting weights because I can see improvements quicker. I can either do more reps or lift more weight and it is stimulating.

I don't mind cardio; it's easy to just hop on the elliptical, crank up the resistance and my music and zone out. Sometimes I think up funny little stories and type them in my phone; other times I think about Benedict Cumberbatch. Trust me, not all my heavy breathing is due to being out of breath! That man's voice is sex covered in chocolate and marshmallows.

I just imagine him cheering me on. Or whispering in my ear.
Or whispering between my thighs.

Once I am at the gym, I find that I thoroughly enjoy it. It's weird because I am super lazy. But get me out the door and I will work hard at the gym. It's just going that is the trouble.


Anyway, I had a really rough weekend and start to my week. First, Loki got into something and spent the entire weekend kitty-barfing and kitty-pooping all over the apartment. He wouldn't eat or drink water on Saturday and on Sunday he just laid next to the water bowl and didn't move all day. His episodes were so uhm ... persistent? ... that we had to give him a bath and wash off his butt. Yeaaaah that was fun. Then he went into his litterbox with still wet fur, and got litter stuck to his fur. So I am going to have to cut it out. The little buttmunch is better now, though.

Drake has decided naps are for chumps and sleeping is for pussies, because he has given up sleep. It's terrible. He only sleeps an hour or two at a time at night, and only about 30-45 minutes during the day. I have no clue what is going on. A growth spurt? Teething? Maybe he's just an asshole? I don't know, but it has been a LONG LONG few days. Last night he was up every other hour. And I spent a good portion of the night and early morning on the living room floor while he watched Pocoyo until my eyes & ears bled.It was grueling.

Yep. That was my week. How was yours?

Couch 2 5K- Running day 1



I already completed C25K day one on Stella- in which I complete 5.49 miles and burned 494 calories. I was super proud of myself. I wanted to go running today on the elliptical.

I got ready, spending 45 minutes on my hair and makeup. I took a bunch of before pics.


On my way to the fitness center, I saw this little guy


I was all of 6 feet away from him. He was so close I could almost touch him. I love where I live, we have lots of these little guys around.

The machine at the fitness center is *huge*

I'm at eye level with this monster

I ran only 15 minutes- I say "only" but I don't really mean it like that. My last run was 10 minutes, so I went 50% longer. Its harder to run on the elliptical than it is to bicycle, definitely.

But I want to point out that I am not disappointed with myself, quite the opposite. I pushed myself today, harder than I have before, going 1.75 miles. I also burned 230 calories.

Halfway through my run, another user came into the facility and I freaked out theres another person... who can see me run, see my fat jiggle, see my tits hit my face... but he only said hello and jumped on the treadmill that was in front of me.

Here's me after my run- I sweated all my makeup off!

I'm watching the premiere of Biggest Loser on NBC.com right now. If you missed it last night, you *have* to watch it. It's so heart breaking and uplifting at the same time. I've gone through 4 kleenex so far. All the stories and backgrounds are absolutely heartbreaking. All of them.

I am not going to give up. Not when I can still move. I am going to give it my all.
I will lose this weight. I will not give up. You shouldn't either.

Edit: The Biggest Loser was so inspirational and uplifting, but I cried like a ninny. I mean a lot, i have 7 used tissues just from me sobbing lol

Get Off Your Ass!

I am sick and tired of being lazy, seriously. It's starting to get annoying being home all day with nothing to do, more so this week because of Kiwi.


But seriously, I don't do shit. It's getting old. I went to FitDay.com and re-evaluated my weight loss goals.


It's time to start moving again. For my mental health as well as my physical health.

The fiance promised me we were hitting our FREE gym tomorrow and we're going to be roller blading too.


We're getting hitched in 6 weeks. This time, I'm really doing this.

Fuck being fat.
