I was good, what a shock!

Every post seems to start with how bad I have been lately. For once I was good. I worked til 8:30 last night and was still awake and opted to go to the gym. As I was turning on the street where the gym was I started yawning. I did a half assed work out. Less then an hour but I did something!! I am so proud of myself. It's been a struggle to get to gym with the long hours I have been working. But I bought Ocean Spray Cran Energy and wow. It really helped and didn't make my heart race like other energy drinks. I brought another today so that it can keep me energized to hit gym and do a normal workout.

My diet buddy Liz, got the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred She and another friend are doing the workout together . I had bought the same dvd a month ago and still haven't used it. So my goals i to do the dvd at least once this week and hopefully alternate dvd and gym.

Also I am back on Phase 1 of South Beach. Feels good already. Hard as far as I really have to prep my meals but its worth it. I don't know if the Cran Energy is on the South Beach plan but I don't care. If it keeps my energy levels up so I can go to the gym after working 12 hours. Then I will deal.

That is all for now. Hopefully I can start to post more often.

I have been bad.

I have been bad.
Not dieitng barely going to gym. I transfered departments at work and have been busy to say the least. Right now I am working 12 hr days and its hard to go to the gym when I am already tired.
A group at work is doing the biggest loser so I signed up. It's a kick in the butt to get back to the gym and get healthy. Now I am accountable. My friend Liz (http://www.lizisallergic.blogspot.com/) will be my diet buddy and we can discuss our diet etc. That will help me to stay accountable. That has been my biggest downfall, accountability. So easy to let my self cheat but Liz won't let me be so bad.

It's been a rough few months. I gained back 20 lbs that I had lost last fall. Not a happy camper but I need to move on and take it one day at a time and one snack at a time.

The aftermath

It's February, Holidays are over and Ijust started getting back to gym
last week. I got on a scale and weight gain is about 15 lbs. Not good
but can be worse. I need to start watching what I eat again. No gym is
ok if I watch what I eat. I just got the Wii Fit. Its fun. I just
need to use that on days I don't go to gym. 20 minutes at least. The
yoga I think will help with m stress levels. I am looking forward to
more games to come out for the wii fit. The Biggest Loser game is
supposed to be good.

Still have my goals just need to get my ass in gear.

Made chili last night. Made enough to last for awhile. It will be good
to have easy meals around. That is my weakness. Not having something
ready to eat when I get home from work.

on the wagon

I went to the gym last night. First time in almost 3 weeks. It was a short work out but I went. Go me. I plan to go again tonight.

I am not normally one for New Year's Resolutions but this year I plan to do it.
1) go to gym 2 times a week.
2) drink more water. Make sure water consumption is at least equal to soda consumption ie.. can't have a 3 sodas a day anymore without drinking water
I still want to get to my goal weight but let's be honest the last few weeks I have been bad. I haven't gotten on scale because i am scared to know how much of the 30 lbs I lost I have gained back.

I think my 2 goals are realistic. I am not setting a weight goal because there will be set backs. I am realistic but don't want to add pressure to myself of how much I want to lose and by when. I figure if I stick to eating plan and gym the weight will drop off. Slowly but surely.

Tomorrow is NYE so I will eat drink and be merry and then back to South Beach on Thursday.
I get paid tomorrow so I will do a big grocery shopping trip to help.
