It’s a new year and I am ready for a new me! I have no more reasons to not loose weight. I have a great job. It is time for me to start living my life to the fullest!

Almost a year…

alwaysthefriendneverthegf — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:30:23 +0000

So, here I am nearly a year later and still in the same situation…FAT!!! A lot has happened in the last year and a couple of months, I graduated from college, I am now unemployed and on the job hunt (have been for about a year now), I broke up with my boyfriend from high school, and I stopped blogging. I think that when I stopped blogging about my progress and having something to be accountable to I started to slip up and kind of stopped caring. I am now realizing that this blog is kind of vital to my success. Even if no one reads it, its a way for me to continually track and measure my journey. I think that you have to be able to look back in order to keep moving forward. So I am back to blogging!!! Let the new journey begin!!!

Set Back…

This week I have been doing so well with exercising regularly and preparing for the 5k and was becoming really proud of myself. Yesterday I was out playing with my dogs and was trying to come back into the house when my foot got caught in the door ripping off my big toe nail. It hurts so bad, I cant even think about putting a shoe on right now. I am going to up my pilaties and try to wear shoes at the end of next week I am hoping that it will be less sensitive by then…

Exercise TV

OMG!!!! I am not sure as to why I am just now finding out about this, but it is amazing!!! Through our cable on demand channel we get exercise tv which has different exercise videos…get this…Jillian Michales shred dvd is on there and all these videos are for FREE!!! Now I can have variety on a daily basis and not get bored. I love it!!!

My Motivation

alwaysthefriendneverthegf — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:27:21 +0000

So I was motivated over the course of my three-week hiatus to find something that was going to get me going again I came across this blog from a guy who used to weigh 344lbs and has lost over 125lbs this past year!!! Amazing!!! Well, anyway I was searching on google for motivation (in google search: how to get motivated to lose weight haha lame i know) and came across his blog. He had a list going of motivational reasons of why he wanted to lose weight, and after talking to a good friend of mine as well I decided that I needed to have them concrete somewhere as a constant reminder. So here is goes:

TOP REASONS

Feel good about myself

I have never really just felt good and I really want to know how it feels to have that feeling where you look at your self in the mirror and have that good feeling.

Be able to shop with my friends as well as by myself

I have always usually tried to avoid going shopping with my friends mainly due to the fact that I can’t fit into the clothes that they wear, nor do I ever shop or go into the stores that they go into. I have always felt out-of-place. This isn’t just with friends, this is with my sisters as well, I mean isnt part of the fun of having all girls in your household is having an extended closest??? Well I have never known what it is to borrow something from my sisters because they are smaller sizes than I am, but soon enough that will change. As for the by myself part, I really do like shopping by myself, it gives me time to think and no added opinions, but sometimes when I go into a store I feel like everyone is looking at me like what are you doing in here there is no way you could fit in these clothes. So I would like to walk into a store with confidence.

Wearing a sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts

I belive that the last time that I have ever worn sleeveless (meaning arms showing and no sweatshirt) had to be back in 3 or 4th grade…I am nearly 23 now. I live in southern California and it gets HOTTT!!! I often feel ridiculous for wearing a sweater in the summer, but I want to spare people from my chub. So I have always covered up.

Running into people from your past and hearing how good you look

Ok ok I know this sounds weird but I hate running into people who I havent seen in a long time and they look great. I want to be one of those people where the person can’t help but be in shock. As for right now I will continue to avoid people who I see at the store haha!!!

Becoming more confident in all that I do

I think that this is a little self-explanatory. I want to be able to put my best foot forward full 100% about it too instead second guessing myself.

More energy

I am often really tired throughout the day and I know that is due to lack of excercise. I shouldnt be this tired all of the time I am really young. I want to start the day out conquering it!!!

Live Life without restrictions

When you are heavier in size you are limited on what it is that you are able to do. I do not want to have any restrictions. I think that we hear no enough as it is I don’t want to be telling myself no due to the size that I am.

Being healthy

I want to live forever haha no I just know that if I continue to stay the weight that I am some serious issues will come into play in terms of my health, so I need to nip that in the bud now!!!

Being able to wear a bathing suit to the beach

So being a So Cal girl (born and raised) everyone knows that we have amazing beaches. I would love to go to the beach in a bathing suit and not board shorts and a shirt and really get my tan on. I am tired of covering up!!!

Dating

Since being broken up it will soon come into play that I will be getting back out there…I am not completely ready for this yet, but I know that it is coming and I want to be 100% when it does because it will be my first time out there in my adult life…

alwaysthefriendneverthegf — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:02:11 +0000

Wow so I have been really slacking in the blog department…I swear I am going to try and be better in the upcoming weeks. One thing that I am glad that I haven’t been slacking on is my weightloss. So today I will do my weigh in results for this past week when I weighed in on Monday.

3.3lbs!!!!

I was so excited so far I have lost a total of 7.7lbs in about 3 weeks!!! This is great!!! I still havent started my C25k yet, but I have found the 5k that I plan on running in and have even found a friend to do it with me. I am so nervous I have never intentially sought out to run haha so here it goes…
