HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Did ya miss me?
OK So I did a little experiment and here is what I learned. Kepping everything written down WORKS!
So I am working out at least 5 days a week. I am headed to NYC later "today" and I don't come back until Friday. We'll see how that goes.
My workout consists of 1 hour cardio adn 1 hour strength training\circuit. Yes I am going 2 hours. Here is the good\bad thing. Weight loss has slowed down HOWEVER, I am noticing ( an others are too) changes in my physical appearance! WORD!
OK So typical breakfast is Chobani, Veggie Southwest Burrito, some Granola. About 300-400 calories, lunch I am a little more liberal and I do some chicken, or something. I have been a little more lax with Lunch and then a sensible dinner since I work out at 5.
I notice that when I am stressed, which has been overwhelming lately, I retain water and my muscles ache. So guess I need to stop that
Update more from NYC :D

January 24th, 20121 Day 22
I know its been a few days and I Apologize! I did a little test to see how well I would do without writing everything I ate. I think I have done surprisingly well. I have been choosing wise when it comes to meals. I try to start every meal with a filling low cal soup or salad. In the past 10 days since my last post, I am still losing. I have kinda pseudo cheated once with Sesame Chicken but I only ate half but OMG it was DELISH! Damn you Bamboo Kitchen in Manhattan!
I was in NYC for a week and if you have been to NYC you KNOW the amazing food there! I am VERY proud of myself. Still no cookies, cakes, chips junk food! No pop (soda for ya northerners :) ) and most importantly NO CANDY! YAY!!!. I started hitting the gym like it was my JOB on Saturday (01/21/2011) So here is my regime
Treadmill 1 hour vary the speeds and inclines burn about 500-600 calories
Circuit Various machines 4 reps of 15-25 worth 50 pounds resistance
Areas This is a where I pick a specialized area and work it (Legs, Arms, Core etc)
Last night I did:
Treadmill 1 hour inclines up to 9.0 and folks sit down I RAN!!!! (insert Flock of Seagulls song)
Wall Squats Ouch 4 reps 30 seconds
Ab Crunch weighted 100 reps with 60 pounds
Ab Crunch Resistance 60 50 reps Resistance 70 25 reps Resistance 100 25 reps (BRING IT!)
So today is my Birthday and I weighed in Drum Roll......<10> Double Digits! I am losing on average .5 pounds a day! which is about 3.3 a week! Pretty damn good!
AND I JUST started hitting the gym hard! Now I am so PUMPED!!!!!
OK I will post the Food stuff later ! I am off to get Allergy tested, meet Billy at 12 and then to the Gym :D... Make it a GREAT DAY!

January 11th, 2012 Day 9
Wow this was a high stress day! Ever have one of those days, where you are doing 500 things and accomplishing nothing? So I missed working out with Billy yesterday because of work and today he had to cancel :( So I ended up meeting Frannie at Bob Evans for dinner so we could catch up. I did better at dinner than I did at lunch. I was starving by the time I got to take lunch (2:30 PM) and opted for quick! So KFC is NOT the best option :) ((sigh)) Live and Learn! Right?
I need to figure out how to adjust my schedule. :/ I am, however, SUPER PROUD of myself. One of the girls at work I won't mention names (TAMI) filled up the candy basket!!!!! So this thing sits ON THE COMPLETE Opposite side of my office. So I go down to the bathroom back upstairs and like moths to the light I see this damn thing GLOWING I SWEAR! Like birdies were flying around it and chipmunks and squirrels were dancing... I walk over and I look at the rest of the girls and I say "Who brought the damn candy?" SERIOUSLY??? Now I am not sure if it was because they could hear the venomous words coming from my office all day or because I was sporting crazy eyes but they all go "TAMI DID IT!" Poor girl wasn't even upstairs... but I am sure she felt the cold chill run down her spine. I will deal with her appropriately! >:D Never anger the IT people :) HOWEVER I said ALL that to say.. I did not eat 1 piece of it! YAY :) Might have been better and I would not have opted for the KFC (Killer of Food Calories) :D

Update on weigh in
Today is the 7th day since I started.I weighed in and I was down 4 pounds, I am going to weigh in tomorrow to see if there is a lot of difference. I may just take the short week weigh in and make Mondays my weigh in day :D
DOWNLOAD Noom for Android! Awesome little stay on track App :D
Self Reflection
So I had my review today and it was excellent. :) So I am really trying to understand why I have such great difficulty taking a compliment when it comes to my appearance. If someone says I am pretty I cringe and say something witty or Nah I am average or just shake my head and blush. If someone says I am smart, or funny or a great mom or sweet I am like Ah thanks! I am so weird sometimes! I don't see myself as one of those girly girls but I kinda always wanted to be? One of the popular ones that the others envied because of whatever reason. I think it stems from past relationships where I was told I was less than what I was (over and over) You start believing stuff like that. I don't understand how people can talk so mean to someone. Or parents to children? How is that possible? How do you talk down to your kids and hurt them? How do you not lift them up and tell them they can do anything and they are beautiful.
OK rant over. So I was told today that I was so pretty. I just made scrunchy face. (laugh) I think its one of my most "famous" faces :D because I make it ALOT! So I will work on that!
I was thanked by one of my Employees for being wonderful. Now that made me smile. If I can have a positive impact on someone everyday of my life, then that means more to me than anything
OK and What about Mr Tebow? What a guy! No denying he has heart and plays with heart! Love someone that perseveres!
