Buying a treadmill was the best thing Ive ever done... I have more energy than Ive had in a long time and not as stressed as I use to be :)
I do need to find a tv to watch while I work out bc ive noticed that I do get bored rather quickly, I try not to think about it while im on it but somedays I cant wait to get off and so something else. With the warm weather coming I have a feeling Ill be taking Justice for walks @ night and doing the treadmill in the am before work.
If anyone has songs that I could add to my workout playlist, Id greatly appreciate the input :)
Until next time

30lbs down... 50 to go :)
Vacations over :( and now its time for the real work to begin.. So much easier to be on a diet while in NYC with all the walking and sightseeing to be done, we would occasionally skip meals(oops dont tell my dr ;)) Now that Im back working 40hrs a week, I find it harder to stay on track... Ive been packing healthier meals and snacks but the carbs keep SCREAMING my name and begging me to eat them :( sometimes I wish they had a "shock collar" on them so if and when im tempted to eat them it would remind me to stay away!!!
My treadmill comes tomorrow afternoon and come hell or high water I will be putting it together after meeting my new nutrionist( we'll see how that goes.. I find it hard to trust someone who tells me what to eat whose never been fat, I know its a twisted sense of thinking but thats how ive always been)...
Things are a changing, might be slower than Id hoped but its good to know that I have the support of my close friends and family to cheer me along as I make my way to a healthier happier me :)

WOW!!!
Cant believe its been a while since ive posted.. These past few weeks have been crazy!!! anywho
The gym is going well, but Im thinking about purchasing a treadmil and other things like weights to do at home, the weather is going to hopefully be getting warmer soon which means spending more time outside :) not saying i wont go to the gym but i feel like im more apt to do it if its right here in my apartment!!
The other night my friend cooked dinner for me, I gave him creative licensing to come up with any dish he felt he has mastered... and now im paying for doing so. He made a russian chicken dish with buckwheat as the side.. the chicken was ok but the buckwheat I couldnt handle.. I think I drank all my daily intake of water for that day while trying to consume this meal, I felt bad because he was so excited to cook for me and I couldnt fully appreciate the meal after cleaning up I saved the night with my AMAZING and revamped apple crisp.. He ate 3/4 of the pan while i ate the very small but very filling 1/4 :)
I do have to say that I am feeling better about whats going on with me now, Im not as tired and ive stopped having to drink 3 cups of coffee a day just to keep myself awake!
Im rewarding myself and my friend by booking a nice trip to NYC to go and do something out of the normal and see where it takes us.Hopefully lose a few pounds in the process with all the walking that we will be doing but it gave me a reason to go and buy a nice pair of sneakers for the trip along with a few pairs of jeans and tops.. retail therapy where would i be without you???
I promise to update soon :)

Valentines Day
Today wasnt as bad as I thought it would be... I stuck to my food that i planned out for the day but... I did indulge in some chocolate and had a donut :( baby steps I know its not going to happen overnight!!
On a very good note I did get my exercise in and my puppy loved me for it, he's now passed out next to me :)
At Shaws I found these yummy frozen yogurt parfaits that have fresh fruit and such.. low calories and all that jazz and surprisingly they taste amazing!!
Im off to go read :)

And so it begins
We also talked about me seeing a nutritionist..I'm super excited about that, too bad I have to wait til March to do so, But until then I plan on eating healthier and hit the gym.. not for anyone else but myself, Ive come to realize that I cant make anyone happy until I am happy within myself.. It may be a long journey but I am up for the challenge..
Here I will post my achievements and "failures" I don't believe in failing.. I am going to do my best at creating a "new" life for myself and either you can help me and be apart of something AMAZING or be cut from my life for not wanting me to be successful!!
Its gonna be a long, hard journey but I am up for a challenge :) Whose with me??
