Work it girl

Now that I have been back to a normal sleep schedule it's harder for me to fund the rime to get my thoughts down in text. This week has indeed been a long and sweaty one and yes it's only Wednesday.
This week started my first week back with simon the trainer. About a year and a half ago I went to him 6days a week at 5am. It was a great and hard workout. I loved it but cheap it is not. I did it for about 12 weeks lost 20ish lbs and loved it. Next came the cable guy and here we are almost 2 years later and im back to almost my heaviest ever.
I have never been a stick figure and I really have no desire to be one but I know I can look better and be in better shape than I currently am. I am in 2 weddings this summer and I don't want to look back at the pics and feel ashamed. I've been in a really crappy place and feeling disgusted so I finally stepped up and I am trying to get a handle on my weight.

Let's go with my 3 steps to weight loss:

3 Simon. Plain and simple a personal trainer is exactly what it takes for me to push myself. So that might not make a lot of sense but for me it does. I am so good at talking myself out of working out after work. At 5am I just go and I'm paying for it so why would I skip. The first day was rough. And the 2nd day was intense. And I loved it. So far I have worked out every day since Saturday.

2 food diary. I hate looking at nutrition labels but paying attention to what I put into my body needs to become important. Downloaded a new app to keep track of my food and exercise. Along the same lines I have to drink more fluids. I'm constantly dehydrated. And it's gotten worse since I've added chia seeds to my diet. I am good when I am at work but once I get home I often don't drink a full glass all night.

1 have fun! Gotta have fun. Gotta feel good. Gotta quit being so good at excuses. I want to take my food and exercise seriously but I don't want to have to pick it over my time with friends and family. I know I can fit it all in as long as I stick to my plan.

I made scones!

Work out yesterday:
1.5 mile track run
Pilates with Barb
3.5 miles treadmill "speed work"
Abs with Janet
Iron with Ali

Today:
3mile track run

Tonight I made scones. Got the receipe from eat live run. Will hyperlink to it when I figure out how to!



Quick one tonight. Lots of sleep to get done!

Top things to make

3
Crock pot jamablya
It's just so good even when I turn the rice to mush

2
Cute cupcakes. Or other cute treats. In the future i will have to drag up some old photos of my works of art!

1
Chex mix. Hands down best snack ever. I could live on the stuff. Now I'm craving it crap. Does chex mix fall into the tater chips category if you are thinking of it as salty snacks!? Something I should have thought about before!

Sleep...or lack oh

Tuesday "workout"
Run 2 miles in 21:40
Little 30day shred action level 1 (day 2 in a row!)


For the past week and a half sleep has not been a friend of mine. I try to go to bed early then end up reading or playing on my boyfriend (my phone is such a hottie). I get up at 5am so I'd like to be asleep by 10. And by get up I mean that's the first time I push my snooze button. I am so good with the snooze button I sleep right through pushing it!
So I'm already not going to bed as early as needed, now I've started waking up around 2 or 3am wide awake. So I fool around with bf(phone again not the cable guy) for awhile then try to sleep. Needless to say this is not letting me as bright and chipper as I need to be to save lives every day.
The newest version of my insomnia has me waking up around 430 so I just stay awake and dont even tease myself with a few more mins of sleep. This has by far been the best idea. No lives lost!

So let's list the top three reasons I've been losing. Sleep:

This whole Tressel thing has made me sick to my tummy. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about it and where I want to place my blame. Its no secret I love OSU and college sports and I'm not so clueless to think the Buckeyes are angels but dang it why they always getting picked on!!

2
Dang shoulder pain. Ok so this might be the top reason. Over a week ago my left shoulder has started hurting. I wish I could pinpoint something I did to tweak it but yeah no clue. And the pain has changed every day. One day its the front the next it's the back. One day it will pop the next day it's more of a grind. But every day is annoying. It is much better and I've been able to play through the pain this week.

Pink shoes.
I know most girls would love to go get fitted for shoes and the ones that feel like they were molded for your feet to be pink. I am not that girl. I don't like pink. At all. I took back a gift cable guys mom got me for Christmas because it was pink. She loves pink (as does my mom) so I really need him to tell her I don't or I see many more pink goodies in my future. So when I got new shoes and the only color choice was pink I about threw up on the store. I know I know font pick running shoes for the color but even CG said why did you buy shoes you don't like. I will wear them and just run so fast my feet are a blur!

For real this time

It's time to get my butt into gear. In more ways than one. I've been trying to get it together for the past few months and today is as good of day as any.
So here is my plan. MAKE ME HAPPY AND HEALTHY. Plain and simple. Where to start where to start. Well my first idea is to use the 321 and create a count down list from each posting. So here goes number one:

3
Get ahold of this blogging stuff and take the internets by storm
2
Work at not letting others influence my happiness.

Get off my butt and to the gym. Hope to hear back from good ole Simon the trainer. The time I spent in his program a year and a half ago was what made me feel my best and meet the person who makes me want to be my best!
