I totally agree. What is it about Sundays that make you(me) feel like baking? I always want to make a dessert. Is it because I feel that I deserve extra calories for attending 3 hrs. of church, or because its a day of "rest" so I want to rest from my diet, or just because everyone is home, and we need extra sugar to stay sane? I don't know.
I DID do good today at writing down what I ate, and surprise, surprise, I ate better. One good day down, a few more months to go.

Goals
Okay so here are my goals:
1. Don't eat junk food when I am by myself.
2. Don't eat after 8:30 P.M.
3. Eat lunch....besides cheese slices and fruit snacks.
4. Work out 3 times a week.
5. keep track of what I am eating. (I think I fear this one the most.)
Anybody have a good step aerobics workout DVD that I can use?
I will let you know how I do.....

Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!!
So I BLEW IT today. Why is it so hard to get in the loosing weight mindset? I've been there before. Why can't I get back?? It doesn't help when you go to Craigo's pizza buffet (Bad choice on my part). I only had one dessert pizza. That still sounds bad. So, I haven't been writing down what I'm eating. Maybe tomorrow that will be my one focus. I'll keep trying (and make better choices Ü).

It Happened
I did it, I worked out. And can I tell you - 30 minutes goes by really fast when you read a book while speed walking on the treadmill! I was only going to do 20 minutes but when I looked up from my book to see how much time I had left it said 19:42 so I decided to just keep going until I finished the chapter. I finished at 30:23. I think I might do the book thing more often!
Amazing Workout
Stumbled out of bed a little before 7 this morning and hit the workout hard. Today was Kenpo X. 60 minutes of intense cardio. I love it because its the karate kind. It was fun and I love the fact that I can workout with Jared. Its motivational because we encourage each other to keep going. We also wink at each other. ;)
Keep up the good work girls.
Keep up the good work girls.
seriously - working out today
Even though I decided to make Monday be my START day, I am going to be working out today! (To get rid of some of the calories that I ingested yesterday!)
I'm going to workout today, I'm going to workout today, I'm going to workout today...
(If I don't post by tonight that I did workout - someone on here seriously needs to call me and ask me what my GOOD excuse was!)

My Fav. Quote
We all find it hard sometimes to love ourselves. I was given this quote a few years ago and I love it. So here it is for all of you to read.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992 (commonly misattributed to Nelson Mandela, 1994 inauguration speech)

I Felt Fat
Ever have a day when all of a sudden you get hit with "I am fat...I feel fat...am I gaining back all I've lost?" Then come to find out, its your subconscious telling you that, so you give into every temptation insight. That happened to me tonight, but I fought it off. I went and ran a mile on the tread mill. So I guess if you ever find yourself thinking thoughts of discouragement, fight them off. Fight so hard and push it out of your mind so far that it will take awhile for it to come back.
SO ANNOYED!!!
I SPOKE WAY TO SOON...Remember when I said I had this growth and I will be loosing it at the end of May but in the mean time my goal is to not gain more than 40lbs!! Yeah not happening. I went in for my 27 weeker today and I HAVE GAINED 18 lbs IN ONE MONTH. (i am throwing up right now, i know you are all doing the same) That puts me at 38 lbs so my goal of 40 is no longer attainable. I will be gaining that tonight at dinner;( So sad!
Breakfast
They say its the most important meal of the day. Mine is usually a couple cookies, or piece of cake with some Diet Dr. Pepper. Sometimes I feel guilty enough that I have a bowl of cereal too. So, I'm stuck trying to decide what the HECK to eat. I better come up with something or I'll get too hungry and ... well, it won't be good. Any good breakfast ideas for me? Maybe I'll try the cereal first. And a apple?? Then the Diet Dr. Pepper! Ü

ALL RIGHT I'M IN...
OK- I am in... bc as you can see I have this weird growth that I have got to lose! I am thinking by the end of May I could lose some serious poundage! I would however like to keep the boobs;) I am going to get to training for a half-marathon in the fall so hopefully that will help too!
Good Luck Girls!! This is going to be super awesome! (Oh yeah Bobi you are the one of the phone with me btw;)
BOBI - THE DREADED BEFORE...
I though it would be fun to do one of those dreaded "before" pictures.
You know, the one where the person looks their absolute worst so that
when the "after" picture gets shown, they look Oh-So-Fabulous.
Well, here's my "before" shot.
It's a beauty!
My weight loss start date is Monday, February 29, 2010.
My weight loss start date is Monday, February 29, 2010.I want to lose about 35-40 lbs.
I also want to start working out 4-5 times every week.
I told Brandi that I would run a half marathon this fall.
I'm a little bit nervous about it because
I HATE RUNNING!!
But I know I can do it!
Half Marathon... Here I come!!
Alrighty Then
Its nice to see in your email you have been invited to join "PHATTIESRUS." Nothing like making you feel good. But I can see how this would help yourself and those that read it.
I recently started my own weight loss regimen and was a little skeptical at first, but almost a month later, I am down 11+ pounds and am loving it. Thanks to my awesome "trainer" I am seeing results.
I am going to keep it up and there are days that its really hard to stay motivated, but since I live with my "trainer," he keeps me on track. I am hoping to lose 10 more pounds and then we'll see from there. After the next 10, I am going to start toning, and that means Classic P90X for me. It will be a butt kicker, but worth it.
Good Luck to everyone who is trying to lose weight and get in better shape. I hope you are doing it for the right reasons.

My Goals
Well, I know I ALWAYS need some motivation. I have a terrible time sticking to a plan. I'm excited to be able to be more accountable for how I'm doing. I thought I'd start out by setting a few goals:
1. Loose 10 pounds by the end of May.
2. Eat more fruits and veggies (I'm bad at that!)
3. Post once a day, to keep me motivated.
4. Keep a written record of what I'm eating (harder than it sounds)
We'll see how it goes! Today has been about average for me (not great). I do pretty good at working out usually. But the food part is HARD for me (especially sugar). I've done weight watchers and lost about 20 pounds. Since I've had a baby and gained back half. I would LOVE to get back to where I was!

Calling all PHATTIES!!
OK PHATTIES!
So here's what's going on...
I feel a need to drop some serious poundage, and from what I hear, other people may be wanting to jump on that wagon. So- this blog is a spot where we can all keep each other motivated, give each other ideas, recipes, successes, etc. Hop on and post whenever you feel the need. If you just want to vent about something or if you want to share what worked for you that day, whatever! I'm looking forward to having lots of fun on this Phat blog.
