:)

So weigh in today wasn't great since I kinda blew it on the weekend BUT i went for a 5.5km run today and went to a kettlebell class!!!

I LOVE kettlebell classes so this is something I will definitely stick with over the new few months!

But it is late and I need to shower and hit the bed for an early morning!!

So happy I found a kettlebell class & this time I have friends that are coming too!! :D:D:D

Ugh

So... I spent the weekend hanging out with my friend and nutrition went downhill!  She somehow can eat all the junk food in the world and still lose weight and I kind of went along with it and ate way way way too bad!  Weighing in tomorrow is not going to be a good one at all!  Ugh!

Guess I just need to work twice as hard this week.  I need more self control to make better decisions! Just a little disappointed in myself but I can't let this bring me down.  I need to keep working at this!  I need to succeed at this again!

Basically I want to lose 25-30 lbs by Christmas and then lose the rest of what I need to at basic!

Anyways, maybe I should run on my treadmill right now to try and make up for the weekend....

Wow

So glad today was friday!  What a day!

For once in my life I get up early and plan on heading to work early and getting a coffee and having a good day!  Boy was I wrong!
While getting ready for work, washing my face, I get a random nose bleed! Ugh... Sometimes these can last 20+ mins! ... great...
Finally get that under control and now rushing to get ready to get to work... Hoping maybe I still have a quick minute to grab a coffee... Lined up out the door!  Fine no coffee for me!
Get to work - remembered it is civy day is you pay $3... I don't have any cash - into my uniform I go.  Once I am dressed I go see my MCpl for 0730... who tells me I am going to the gym to participate in a measurement survey... so I need to change back into my civys and head to the gym.
Get there and it is measurements all right... you strip down to your bra and underwear and go to all these different stations and get a millions measurements.  You get drawn on and stickers put on for a 3D image.  It was pretty cool to participate but sucked that you had to be pretty much naked! lol
Anyway, 2 hours later, get back to work, get changed (again!) and see they are setting up for a lunch BBQ - $5.00 - I still have no cash.  I get to sit there eating my oatmeal while everyone is eating burgers! A few people offered to front me some cash (which I declined) but it was kind of good because I can still watch what I eat BUT sucks to not be participating with everyone else!
After lunch the day smoothed out and everything was good!
The morning wasn't bad per say - just crazy! It wore me out!

I was going to skip exercising today BUT messaged my friend and said I would do to the gym with her and was so happy that I did!!  I saw a Doc from our clinic and met a paramedic that is willing to sell me some books for really cheap...  So in the end it was a pretty awesome, crazy, interesting day!

:)

Day 2

what a day!

I take my car in for an issue that has been bothering me that I had been told several times was a non-issue... finally this place told me what it was and also informs me the I am 16 days past warranty... ugh!  If the first few people I went to about it would have actually told me what the issue was I could have had it fixed under warranty!

Anyways, I was going to pick my car up after work & was probably going to skip my run BUT my MCpl said another girl and I should go together.  So I got 2 good things out of that - went for my run & got a ride to my car! :)

As for watching what I ate today I kept of track!  Usually Thursday or Friday night is when I fall apart so I will be trying extra hard those days!

Now off to rest my sore tired body...

Starting All Over Again

Well I hate to admit it BUT I fell off the wagon! :(  In 2010 I put so much work and effort into losing weight and getting healthy.  I got myself down to the smallest weight I ever remember!  One day I even saw a 149.8 on the scale.  I didn't even think it was possible to me to hit the 140s! But over the last two years I relapsed back into my old ways & not having the self-control to stop myself from binging.

I NEED to make this commitment again!  I NEED to stick to it!  I joined the military so basically my job is on the line.  Even at this weight I can pass the fitness test BUT I need to get into better shape as I will have a very hard time at basic if I don't get back into shape.

Today is another one of many many previous Day Ones & hopefully the last Day One!  Today went well!  Watched how much food I took in today and did a killer 5.5km run.  It's unfortunate I have to go through this process again but hopefully this time I don't slip back.

The biggest problem was I moved to BC with my parents & brother.  My Aunt, Uncle, Cousin & Family, and my Grandparents all live here.  At the beginning I kept things together fairly well and maintained a steady weight. BUT my whole family struggles with weight issues and I fell back into my bad habits because everyone around me had bad habits.  When I was down to 150/155 many family members said I was to skinny - my BMI was still overweight @ 155 - so I think them thinking I was too small gave me an excuse to stop watching what I ate & stop working out. I got a part-time job waitressing and that was a killer!  Eating at work was bad & going out drinking with co-workers every weekend.  It was a great time and I had lots of fun BUT my body did not enjoy it as much! Then I went to Paramedic school & that was intense.  Lots of work, lots of long days studying, lack of physical fitness and lack of watching what I eat!

Anyway, Day One is OVER!  Day One was a success!  Just have to keep this train rolling! :)

oops

i have been watching what i eat for the most part this week but tonight i had a bunch of crispy minis! lol, delicious!

I ran on monday and did a cardio curuict tonight so i hope that helps a little - anyways its getting late, my course is done this week so i hope after that I can write a little more! :)

Busy Busy Busy

This first aid course I am taking is pretty intense!  There is lots of work to do and terms to remember.  Most things are coming together pretty well, still a few things I am unsure about but I am sure by the end they will make sense.

As for eating right and exercising - I am eating fairly well but have no been exercising at all! Was going to go for a little run today as my hotel is right beside a park (this hotel has no gym!) and it is pouring rain!  I may go later tonight depending on studying and the weather. Maybe I can find a little routine that needs no weights and do that in my hotel room!  Anyways just a quick note, back to studying!

Update

A few weeks ago I started following the new Weight Watchers Points Plus Program.

I have also moved!  I am now living on Vancouver Island with my parents.

I have had a rough year and I have high hopes for the future.  I am going to take Occupational First Aid Level III so that I can apply for a paramedic course in the next few months.  Once I get acceptance into the Paramedic Program I will be joining the Canadian Military and I can not wait!  I am nervous as this seems like a very tough course but becoming a Med Tech in the Military is something I have wanted for a very long time so I hope that will help me study hard and excel at this course.

They are not accepting application until the end of September & are accepting them until mid November! Too long! lol.  The course then doesn't start until April! So I have a long winter of working and waiting!

Anyway, I am going to try and keep updating this as it definitely helped me keep on track last time I tried to lose weight so I am hoping it will help me again!

Hmmm....

So I am exercising a lot and yesterday we bought a treadmill... as much as i hate them i hate the cold more so during the week i can run inside and then i am hoping that one day on the weekend no matter what i can go for a cold outside run :)

anyways... i gained 2 pounds this week and I am going to blame that on muscle... I hope... lol... or it is just because I ate out a lot this weekend... and if that is the case give it a day or two and i will be back to normal :)
