The Weigh In- bum bum bum!

Hey there guys!
Well... I must say it's been a really busy month. Working out makes me feel as if my life were fuller some how, but I know it's only two or three hours of my day. Kinda weird huh? I'm super tired!As of right now, my arms are very sore. Yey!

Anyways, on with the main bits!
In the middle of the month, on the 15th, I weighed myself and I had gained weight! I weighed 185 pounds! I was so upset! I think I was really stressed out about it! How could I have gained weight when I was working so hard? I was ready to give up right there. I felt so bad about gaining weight I wanted to see if continuing I could lose weight. So, I weighed my self the other day and GUESS WHAT?!

I lost 6 pounds! Yey! I am at 179!

I can't tell at all. I feel like maybe I just didn't weigh myself right? I must have, I am trained to do weigh ins (I am a C.N.A). I cant believe it took a month to lose 6 pounds! That's really slow! I mean, for me anyways. My boyfriend says the weight should start falling off now but im not holding my breath. Either way I am happy. It is certainly better than going on that scale and having it go up!

I want to lose 50 pounds, and I want to do it in 3 months. That means about 17 pounds a month. I sorta didn't make this months weigh in. So now I have catching up to do!


June: start: 180
mid: 185
end: 179
goal: 163
MISSED: 16
It's like I didnt even do this month! I am going to try to make up for this month!

July: start: 179
goal: 146
total: 33
Yikes! Thats a lot but... not impossible. I hope to keep my goal! Wish me luck guys, I need it!

Thanks For Listening!
Happy Fat Losing & Muscle Gaining!

Hey Girl, It's Men!

Hey ladies!

So, I have three calenders posted in my apartment with a schedule of hiking, work out days and weigh in days. On top of the one paged calender are two pictures. One of a Victoria Secret model and the other of a fat ladies belly. There's encouraging words next to the model and a big "No No!" arrow pointing to the out of shape waist. A lot of the time I think of this and it helps. Especially to begin the day.

But what about other visual motivations? How about the men? Ohhhhh! going hiking and working out near some hot men tend to make me hustle my buns a little more! I think "gee, that would be so cool to attract that man". Here are some of the mens I think are soooo hot!

Let me know what you think and send some of the mens you think are hot!

Random Body Tips

Here is a list of random tips to help your body!
Try them and let me know how it all works out!
I hope they help!

*Sleep is free cosmetic medicine.

*Dark cocoa boosts nourishing circulation to the skin.
A recent study, a daily does of cocoa for six weeks
made skin smoother, better hydrated, and less sun-sensitive.

*Don't mix benzoyl peroxide and moisturizer.
You'll dilute the BP to the point of uselessness.

*Spending an hour at the beach today
will help to "dry up" your acne?
Truth is that it'll make it worse.
Skin reacts to UV radiation by
becoming inflamed, Chances are you're likely to have
more bumps and redness from being in the sun.

*More often than not, brittle nails are caused
by excessive exposure to harsh soaps, irritants,
and acetone polish removers

*Vitamin B helps keep hair healthy!

Forget It...Go All The Way

I have decided! Enough of this putzin around stuff! I am going to start hiking the hard hike!
I did it today and it was hard but totally worth it. It was not as hard as the first time, but I have plenty of room for improvement. A cute, big , long black haired dog liked me and kept wanting my back pack, so it was funny/nice/cute. So, that is the good news. That and I am getting a tan! Yey for vitamin D! lol. I really have to get an MP3 player though. That, and a pair of good shoes still.

Also.. I thought I'd throw another informational tidbit out here. If you exercise while ... it's that time of the month then your cramps will go way down! I have been in a lot of pain this year when it was time for my hell week, but this week was a snap! I think I could dig that!

Oh! By the way. lol. I bought new exercise clothes and they're kinda... tight.. I am a bit embarrassed but I want them that way. I am sure I'll fit 'em soon. -I hope!

The last bit of news....
Eat my dust in celebrity world!!!
-as if I cared much about if someones rich- Kendra (playboy with the cutest laugh) and Hank (football player?) were hiking at the same place I was. I did not want to disturb them, so I just looked for a minute. That and I TOTALLY HIKED CIRCLES AROUND THEM!!! lmao! ahh... It's true though. She does look good, even though shes just had a kid, which kinda makes me sad about my state...lol. Other than that she should really dye her lower half of hair blond instead of bleaching it cause I really don't like that yellowish tint bleach gives. Oh, that and Hank is a giant next to her. Good going Hank.

A Sexy Peak!

SEXY BACK... AND FRONT

This is my shirt that I bought in size smaller, to inspire
me to loose weight!
The back and front is sexy! They also had a black one, but I liked this one better. This was at Forever21, perhaps, I'll go back for the other? All I know is I can't wait to fit into that!














TAKE A PEAK TOE'D SHOES

These shoes are so cute! They were
inexpensive and can be found at
Forever21! The odd thing about me is
I wear a size 11 in women! BIG feets for a tall girl.
Occasionally I may fit a size 10!
Its worth looking! So, you with big ens take a look!

Being Safe, Wise & Kind To My Body When Hiking!

Hey guys!
well, I am sorry I trumped all over my own post with reasons instead of the motivational
part of my losing weight tips, and the personal pros and cons of hiking.

Hiking

Pros: *My butt will get into better shape! wahhoo!
*it will tone my legs
*it is a great cardio work out
*it has helped my blood circulate!- I have always had problems
being cold but now I'm warm and it feels fantastic!
*It helps slowly introduce running (because I run down hill)
I can control my breathing! I've always had a hard time controlling my
breathing, but I can pace myself and push myself at the same time, so it
helps.
*It's a fun activity that I can do with friends in shape and outta shape
because not too many people hate hiking but many hate running
*There are generally nice and encouraging people at the hiking sites,
so it makes it pleasant

Cons: *It sucked when I first started out because it was so hard.
*My feet got calluses
*If not done properly it causes injuries

Inspiration:
*Zuzana Light- I posted her link on the right side
of my blog at the top. Click This Link To Take A Peek At My Inspiration!
*Making a plan, use calenders, dates with friends and motivational rewards *All those time people said I was fat.
*My legs rubbing together when I walk up the hill
*The clothes I cant wear


Tips

*Make sure you have your cell phone! incase of any emergencies.
*Make sure you let someone know the general area of where you are going to be
*Make sure that you have the right shoes!
(I don't even have the right shoes yet and it kind of sucks)
*Make sure you wear sunblock! You don't want to burn!
*Definitely stretch! I didn't and my hip was hurting for a week!
*After exercise of any kind if you having knee problems or any
other unusual problems (other than soreness) you should definitely see a physical therapist at
least once to get some advise. I did and it worked for me.
*When you are going up hill make sure to use your butt and not rely on your knees and upper leg
to push you up. I know this sounds weird but I used to and my knees would kill me the next
day. I did not recognize what I was doing that until I saw a physical therapist.
*If your legs are rubbing together its best to wear leggings!
I find they are comfy, don't make you too hot and are light!
Some times they are expensive but forever21 has some basic ones
that are cheap! Leggings!

**Problems with peeing!
I always had to pee when I got to the top of the mountain!
It was so uncomfortable! It seriously looked like I had ants in my pants...lol.
What you should do is through out your day make sure you are hydrated and
go to the bathroom when you need to. 30 minutes before you go hiking stop drinking.
Go to the bathroom every time you have to. Then 15 minutes before make sure
you are not dehydrated. If you are thirsty drink about 4oz of water. It helps
if there is a bathroom at the site so you can go just before you start but if
not try going before you leave. After that the general rule is to not over
drink and hydrate your self every 20 minutes with 4-6 oz of water.

Overall, I love hiking! I get sun, air, a chance to exercise and be social,
to see cute kids and pooches, and to build muscle and LOSE FAT!

Thanks for tuning in and I hope I was helpful! Any questions, tips or comments do yo thang!

One reason is good enough

Why do I want to get into shape? Sure, I think
I could be happy eating what I'd like, never really exercising.
Oh, I could see it now... with a pot belly, coloring and eating pizza on
my lovely red couch!

*I want to be healthy.
*Being able to be social with out drinking and drugs is not the only improvement
On my health and anti-aging.
*I'd like to not fall apart at 50.
*Working out helps with depression.
*Working out means I have a shot at being tired enough to sleep.
*Working out makes my circulation better, so i can stay toasty all the time.
*I hate when my thighs rub together.
*I'd like to be strong and have good endurance.
*Not being rolled down the hall like Violet Beauregarde...lol.
*I want to try modeling.
*I'd like to fit in any clothes I like.
*It's a fun hobby.
*I would like to look good on the beach.
*I would like to do all sports like surfing and soccer.
*I'd like to make a life change, not a diet.
***Most importantly-#1:Prove to myself I am a trooper and I can do anything I put
my mind to.
***Most importantly-#2:Also, to help others understand that the pain sucks but it
won't last forever, They can do it too.

It's a long list but true.
I hope to help myself and be helpful to others.
Any questions, comments or anything at all just contact me and I'll do my best!

I would like other

Not mad about cow and figuring things out.

I have been doing my schedule for about fifteen days and already I feel motivated. I am very tired but I feel good.

I am not sure about going to the difficult hiking route yet. I don't think I am ready for it yet. I am considering just hiking on the easier hike (which isn't too easy, but easier than the other hike). I would still be hiking 4-5 days a week. I do plan on going to the harder area, maybe by next month I'll be ready. I'll keep you posted.

I also have been eating rather well! salads, fruit, chicken, rice, and cereal. Except last night. I had a half a burger with a bit of bacon and avocado, small portion of chili fries and part of a chocolate malt (for the first time- which was thick and delicious). To my surprise, I was so full, sick really. I usually love when I eat at Mel's Drive-in but I don't see myself going back or to any other hamburger joint any time soon.

The truth is I've been very careful of what I eat, in fact so careful I have been trying to find ways to eat more calories because I have been eating less than 1500 and that is unhealthy. I guess I am afraid I will carry more weight up the hike if I eat too much. I am trying to find a balance. It is only the first month, I am sure I'll have things down pat by next month.

Well, I am going to get ready for hiking. I will do extra because of last night. lol. I feel real bad about it. Anywho, the next entry will probably be a bit more helpful instead of personal updating. I will be talking about the pro's and con's about hiking, what helps me get my butt up the route and what inspires me. I hope this will be helpful and inspire you as well.

thanks for taking the time to read this.
Happy weight losing and muscle building!

Muffin tops are delicious to eat but not to wear

Hi there!
I was wondering... Have any of you ever felt like a snail, slow and sluggy, for a long period of time? I do. I am also aware of the phrase "couch potato". lol. Well...
I've decided once and for all I will not be any more!

Hopefully I stick to my goal and get up and lose weight. I am not going to be trying any diet pills or laxatives. I am going to do it the old fashion way... work your buns off and try to eat right.

I have a lot of trouble with this idea. I want to lose 50 pounds in 3 months. From just before I actually began, I am accustomed to eating whatever I like, and using work as an excuse for exercise. It is hard for me to get out of bed and when things are physically challenging I tend to not bother.

I have decided to go hiking (which is 4-6 miles) 4 days a week and an hour of exercise on the other 3 days. I hike in two different areas. Two days a week I do the easier route. the easier route is about 2-3 miles of inclined walking and the rest is down hill running/walking (mostly running). The other two days I hike at a place that is very difficult! Basically, at the moment it is horrendously painful and i don't expect to become good for a while. It is the same distance except the incline is outrageously steep. I have started June 1st, 2010. I weigh 180. I will weigh myself on the 15th and the 30th of June, just to keep track. I will also tell you how my pants are doing too...lol.

So far so good, except the dreaded two days of hiking on the steepest route. I have been getting up and going with friends and the people who hike at these places are very kind. They offer water if they think someone is in need, they let the dogs run loose and people i don't know encourage me with hi-fives and shouts of confidence in my being able to survive. I am super excited to be doing some thing to change my life. Already, my circulation has improved and I am not as cold as I used to be, my tan is coming back and I feel better with eating better. After all, if I don't eat right I'll have more fat to carry up that terrible hike!

well, I'll keep you updated and I will be taking pictures of my weight loss. This is new to me and I am a little embarrassed, so I will be uploading photos when I've made progress. well, Im off to bed and still excited about a new life style.
