Wowsers!!!!! I am completely overwhelmed by the response that I am receiving about this website!!! Thank you so much everyone!!! I should have done this a long time ago. I find that I look forward to writing in my journal, updating my site and especially reading my questbook! I carry a little not book with me where ever I go, just in case I think of something to say on here, or I think of something new I can add!! I have put a lot of work, and care into this website and I am so glad that people are actually reading it!!!
Well, I am 29 years old young today! I feel good. I don't feel old! I am really looking forward to my night out with Trevor! Then Friday night I am getting together with some friends for a birthday celebration, Saturday we are going to my in-laws and then Sunday we are having a birthday celebration at my moms. In the last week and a half it has been my mom's birthday and my sister's birthday, so we are having one big family get together at my moms. Thanks so much to everyone for the birthday wishes!!
I had an awesome work out last night. I did 30 minutes on the bike on level 10 random (like hills) and 25 minutes of free weights, then I managed to squeeze in 7 minutes on the Elliptical on level 11 before 45 minutes of cardio kickboxing!! Last night the instructor (Tanya) was on a rampage!! We did weights, tons of squats and 10 minutes of but work….. Ouch!!! I am really surprised I can even sit today! Tanya is an awesome instructor and every once in a while I pay her by the hour for some personal training when I need a new routine. I haven't needed her assistance in a little while because I have been doing it for so long I can make my own routines. But I think when I get a little bit lower I will get her help again. I look up to her. She used to be overweight to. She is now part owner of the gym I attend, She has a black belt and she has done the Ultimate Fighting Championship and many other fights!
This is her: www.fightergirls.net Nice !!! She is amazing!!
I have been eating very well since my blow out on Sunday night. I am sticking to my points. Last week I ate my points up to 1200 calories, but I found I was only eating about 18 - 19 points, but I was very hungry. Last night I hit 1200 calories and I still had 2.5 points left. So I went a head and ate 2 more points which put me are 1290 calories and 19.5 points. This is more reasonable. Sometimes 1200 calories is not enough, especially after and awesome work out like last night!!
Well I guess that is it for today!

First of all…. I want to thank a few people….. thank you Jode, Megs, Wil, Stace, Paulene and Ang for the comments on my Guestbook!!! You guys are awesome and I don't know what I would do with out any of you!!! Also, a huge thanks to Paulene for the awesome shout out on her website!!!
Well the results are in …… I did not gain any weight!!! I stayed the same as last week!! Phew!!!! I think my kick ass work out on Monday helped!!!! I talked to my weight watchers leader last night and she gave me a sheet outlining what I should do now that I am getting lower in weight and closer to my goal!!
- Make sure you are writing down everything that goes into your mouth!
- Change up your work out routine.
- If you are eating the same things everyday, try new things.
- Go over your food tracker from the beginning and compare it to what you are eating now, note the differences.
- Make sure your work out routine is not getting to easy.
- Focus on the outcome; imagine what it would be like to be at goal. Remind yourself of this image frequently.
- Review your book you received on day one and go over the steps.
- DON'T GIVE UP!
Well so far over the last month I have done just about everything on this list. I started eating new things, I changed my workout by starting to do kickboxing classes again over a month ago, I write down everything that goes into my mouth and I have not given up!! My leader said that most people quit when they get close to their goal because they get frustrated. She said to just hang in there. I'll just keep doing what I am doing! I just have to not weigh myself during the week, because if I had not of weight myself on the weekend I would not have gotten pissed off that my weight was up and then I wouldn't have pigged out and then I probably would have lost this week… damit!!! I also can not get upset when my weight does not move or goes up a little even when I am working my but of to lose it, because when I get upset I eat and that just makes things worse!!!
I will work on setting out my new Christmas Challenge. I will put it up next week!
I wanted to mention something that happened at the gym last week….. I ran into a woman whom I have not seen there in a few years (I have been going to the same gym for 5 years now) and she looked amazing!!!! So I thought I would tell her how good she looked. In conversation I mentioned that I am still working at getting to my goal….. Well she looked at me and said "Do you mean you want to lose more weight?" and I replied with "Yes at least 14 more pounds". She had a fit!!! She said "Are you not happy the way you are. You don't look like you need to lose anymore. You would look too skinny if you lost more"! She was so adamant about it that I just ended up agreeing with her because she was going to argue with me about it!!! I just could not get my point across to her that I don't feel comfortable in my skin and my clothes yet and I am not satisfied that I am the best I can be yet….. This leads to the question: "Will I ever be satisfied?" Yes, I believe I will. My Dr. said I will know when I am at a comfortable weight that I know is good for me and is maintainable and I think he is right! I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and be healthy!!
Well, I am off to the gym tonight for my "hard" work out. This involves 30 minutes of bike or elliptical at an absurd level and 25 minutes of weight lifting and 45 minutes of cardio kickboxing with Tanya the Black Belt Jiu Jitsu, Ultimate Fighting Championship trainer!! Her class in only once a week, but oh my god; she could whip the Pillsbury Dough Boy into shape!!! I think my legs are finally starting to get some definition from her class. She does kicking, squats, lunges, but work….. A month of this and I can see it in my rock hard legs and they are finally shrinking!!! For a while there I thought I was doomed to be skinny above the waste and have a huge but and leg….. but they are finally shrinking!
Anyhoo, enough for today. I will be posting some new recipes on my recipe page soon. We got a hole wack load of goods ones at weight watchers were we had a recipe exchange!
Take care,
Wendy
