So yesterday I tracked, Up until dinner. But I'm pretty confident that I didn't go over my caloric intake for the day... well not until my midnight craving for potato chips took affect ugh. Anyways, I didn't get in any workout I'm still beyond sore from Zumba the other day :/ but starting this coming week I'm implement my gym 4 times a week, zumba 1 time in 2 weeks routine. I also think I've decided to do the ab workout app every other day if possible & I can't stop thinking about the C25K! I wanna do it! So, it's quite possible that this week I will start it, I'll let you know :)
My 1 year anniversary date is coming up. I started this blog on 7.17.10 & well that's about 3 weeks away. I am going to bust my booty and try to get as close to my next goal weight as possible by then. My next goal is 245lbs, I'm around 258 right now which leaves me about 13lbs to lose. If I average that out it's a little over 4lbs a week of loss.. well I don't know if that's possibly haha but I'm gonna try. Once I hit that goal weight I will have lost 79lbs from what I was a year ago(:
I've also been looking into HRM's .. I think they are an awesome tool to have to be sure that you are working out at a good level.. the problem is THEY COST SO DAMN MUCH :| good lord lmao I think the cheapest one I saw was $30 bucks or so. When I have the extra cash I wanna get it, I don't wanna go all out and pay tons of money when I don't even know for sure that I will use it or enjoy using it so.. that's my plan haha
I also took pictures last week, I have pictures from the beginning of my journey as well & I contemplate posting them often. I'm not sure if I want to wait until I lose a little more weight before putting them all out there of if I should just bite the bullet & do it... It's more of a personal fear than anything. I guess I feel like I can still try and pretend than I'm thinner than my body. I feel like I should be thinner than my body :/

This may boil down to more than 1 post...
New Beginning:
Okay, so to start off my massive blog fest this evening, I'm going to start with rebirthing my journey! I have a friend, who has always inspired the creative part of my soul & has always been one of those people who I look at and think and am just in awe of it. When I first started this journey almost a year ago, her & I started almost around the same time without even knowing it! We got to talking & realized we had both started a weight loss blog, on the same site & it was great! Well because life gets in the way & serious dramas can occur she let her blog go, & let's admit.. even though I am still here I haven't been making much of an effort in the way of this journey. I can't stop thinking about how terrified I am of gaining the weight I've already lost all back.. 60some odd pounds, no thank you. I need to get my ass in gear. We as I've been thinking this & doing nothing about it, my good ole' inspiring friend has decided to jump back into the game! She has created a new blog, has new goals & motivations & in doing so has sparked the fire under my ass again(:
Here's her link! Damn This Game of Hide 'n' Seek p.s. if you read this ily!
So in light of all this rekindling, I am changing all my days up on what's what..
Weigh days will now be on Friday, I figure being at the end of the week instead of the beginning, it will help to know where I stand for the following week & give me the weekend to prepare for ass kicking & all that if need be.
Measurements will be taken on the first of the month. Just cus' it sounds good lol
Starting tomorrow, I will be tracking again. I have the tracking journal, it fits in my purse, I'm just being plain ole' lazy not doing it.
Gym: 4 days a week, any days, as long as I make sure to go for AT LEAST 30 mins, possibly longer, 4 days in the week between Monday & Sunday.
Zumba: at least once every 2 weeks (this I would like to up more, but Zumba has a way of killing me LOL so in 2 weeks, I need to go at least one time.
I want to start the c25k, I have for a while now. I know I've posted in previous months that I want to be a runner. I want to feel the exhilaration of completing a run & being out of breath and sweaty and confident. I just haven't put too much thought into when I should start, Although Megan gave me a great idea. She told me there is an app for my phone that will help me along with doing it! YAY! So I know HOW I'm going to do it, I even know the area I'll be running in.. it's just biting the bullet & starting it, I'm not sure if I'm ready for that...
I have an app currently on my phone, It's an ab workout & it always makes my stomach hurt when I do it lol I LOVE IT!! So I will also be doing that as well. No schedule set up for that. It only takes me about 10 minutes to do the whole thing, so it will be whenever I have a burst of energy, free time & the space to just lay down and bust it out.
I'm excited to get into this. My body & mind both need this.
Zumba
Today, I went to a zumba class. Oh.dear.god. It kicked my butt in crazy ways. When I first got there I was so uncomfortable. I know that everyone who goes has there own reasons & most of the time aren't going to judge you, but I was pretty much the biggest person there. We stand in front of a wide mirror to dance, and looking around I felt like a whale. I also felt like everyone was going to be watching me not be able to do all the moves, watch my fat jiggle as I shake my butt & so on.. Once I got moving though, I realized just because someone isn't as big as I am doesn't mean they aren't just as out of shape. After the class was over I went to the car & took a picture just to share!
Red face, sweat dripping, endorphins pumping.
On the drive home I was saying "omg, never again. I can't believe I decided to do that again after the last time & I don't wanna again :(" LOL anyone else get like that after a great work out? But once I got more water in me, a shower & sat for a little I realize how invigorating it is! I know I'll probably be sore tomorrow, but the kind of sore that I like & I'll feel better overall mentally just for having decided to go!
I have more to post, but my mind is fuzzy at the moment & I don't wanna overwhelm you with too much reading! LOL ♥

Day Fail
Well, yesterday was a big fail. I wanted to go to the gym, then I changed my mind & wanted to go to Zumba instead, THEN work called & I had to close so needless to say I came home ate & crashed. Although, I did an ab workout during the day & let's just say that today I am surely FEELING THE BURN,.. I also wanted to blog again last night and get all refocused, setting up new dates for my measurements & weigh days. As of lately I've been on the scale EVERYDAY & it really gives me a headache lol. So I'm headed to work now ugh (save me?) & then hopefully tonight I'll have time to settle down & blog it up :)
P.s. When I stepped on the scale, I was up 4lbs from yesterday - I guess yesterday was just a fluke? but in my defense, my monthly friend is coming this week.

Surprised the scale doesn't say GIULTY!
well, I weighed in today & I lost like 2 more lbs.. the thing about it though is, I could of sworn stepping onto that scale that I would have gained 5. This past 2 weeks have been horrible for me. I haven't been to the gym, I haven't worked out at home, I've been hitting up MCD's on an almost regular basis for breakfast & sometimes lunch too. I've eaten candy bars & more than one fudge round in a sitting.. When i step on the scale after a week like that I almost feel like I deserve for the number to punish me, but when I see that somehow my body has managed to still forge ahead with losing it makes me feel guilty. It's happened before & it's usually a push in the right direction, I see that & think so myself "Wow, it's time to start treating my body right again, it treats me right!"
So this morning I started an Acai Berry Cleanse, I bought it last week & have just been too lazy to even go there. Started this morning & plan on heading to the gym tonight, I think I might also try & go for a run. I've said in the past how jealous I am of people who can run, I KNOW it's something I would enjoy doing on a regular basis if I could do it (which lets be honest, ANYONE CAN DO IT.. it's just a matter of stopping the excuses and starting to train your body!) But I'd much rather prefer to run under the cover of darkness simply because, well, I feel like a heifer & when I run I feel like I look like the running of the bulls :|
So the plan for today, is to eat healthy (I reallyyy need to start tracking again, I felt so much better when I watched closely what was going into my mouth) & go to the gym for 45 minutes to an hour & then come home & go for a jog(:
