3rd Times the Charm?

I certainly hope so!

I cannot seem to get out of this funk! I need some motivation and someone to help push me!

I don't know anyone near me or that has the same/similar schedule so that I could COMMIT to meeting with someone and working out. My sister is the only person but she can't go until like 8 or 9 at night, and I'm sorry - I am in sleep/bedtime mode by then lol

AWESOME NEWS though, despite the fact I haven't been logging or exercising I lost another 5 pounds. Course, I was fluctuating for a while between the same 5-6 pounds, something happened & I just dropped it. I'm not going to complain lol - I just have to keep it up and keep dropping!!!!!!

I have been pinteresting in the "Fitness" section & I actually found a couple blogs that will hopefully give me more inspiration! I know I haven't been blogging much lately but it would be nice if I could find some more interactive people to help me a little bit more, I like comments and questions and I just don't get very much of that on here....but yet again, I have like 8 followers so what do I expect? lol ... I need to get out there more!

ANYWAYS, I have a lot going on in my personal life right now, but I need to stop making that an excuse for not working out! I have come to a conclusion that I want to add jogging & bicycling to my list of workouts, but I do need a new pair of shoes & and bike. I will use what I've got for now, but I'll have to start up a small fund until I can get it :)

....OH and I also need to think about HOOPING! Have you heard of this before? ...they sell weighted hoops & you just hula hoop for like 20-30 minutes and you get an AWESOME workout & you also get HOT HOT HOT abs/core....totally gonna get one! I have heard most people recommend Amazon.com, so I might try that.

I'd love to hear from you guys! Please feel free to give any tips, motivation, suggestions you have!

Thanks & Happy Friday!
 (..and Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there, including my dad!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Damn You McDonalds!

I left the house this morning and totally forgot to bring myself breakfast, so to avoid starvation until 2pm - I stopped by the McDonalds next to the bank (I had to go put my check in, so it was convenient lol) and got myself what I thought wasn't THAT bad of a breakfast....boy, was I wrong lol

I got a #3 - Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and an Orange juice. So I just plugged that into myfitnesspal.com, and OMFG it was like 760 calories! I have a limit of 1200 calories per day on there so there is only like 440 calories left for the DAY!

...so, I hope that fills me up for a while cause I am not going to be able to eat much today lol - or I'm just going to have to be ok with going over my daily caloric limit. I guess at least I only ate 1,026 calories yesterday (oops! I was trying to be careful and I guess I went too far lol. It got onto me about not eating enough calories lol) so if I go over today I wont feel SO horrible.

I really can't wait for my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD to come in lol...I am really excited to get started :)

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday!

Diet...the dreaded word

SO I've been thinking a lot lately about how I need to actually sit down, and write out a goal plan for myself if I really ever plan on getting healthy in a reasonable period of time.

I do know, however, that when I get into "healthy" mode (and when I get an itch to do something, I kinda obsess about it lol) the moment I start to say "I'm on a diet" it starts going downhill. I think many of us has heard this before or had the same thing happen to us, but I end up being worse about eating than I was before, so here is what I vow to do:

~Drink at least 2 quarts of water a day
~Eat every 2-3 hours, small portions, and what I eat needs to be minimally processed - snacks being fruit or veggies & not junk ANYTHING
~Work out at least 20 mins everyday - I will start this when I get my Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred in (hopefully Monday)
~Get a good night's sleep every night & stretch in the morning

I also have decided that I will try to lose weight in small goal increments - about 10 pounds at a time. When I hit my first goal, my present to myself will be non-food related, so I think some shopping may be in order ;)

I will try to remember to get my measurements tonight, OH MAN...I will hate doing that lol
