Happy May!!

Is it really May 1st already? This year is really flying by. I think it's all the work I'm doing. Working 6 days a week is really making for short weekends and long weeks. Even when I have scheduled time off I go in on Saturdays because when you are the only CSR in the office you have to do what you have do. If you know what I mean.

I'm getting my review on Monday and it had better be good. After all, they kept me didn't they? *Giggle*

So today was weigh in day and I saw 222 pounds on this scale. Which means I lost 3.6 pounds this week. Now that was super awesome considering I stayed the same last week. And exercise was pretty no where to be found last week. This week I worked out 2 times which was okay but I wanted more. But hey-that means I am super close to be out of the 220's and into the 2-teens! Awesome!!

I hit the gym this morning so I have already started this week off right.

Super excited that my Mom will be here on Wednesday night. I can't wait to see her. I have Friday off to spend with her and I can't wait. She'll be here until June 6th so that means lots of Mom time for me and my sisters.

Have I mentioned how much I love my new cell phone? Well I do. Just so you know.

Anyway, I still have pictures I need to post. I have to get hubby's help with that because I am not computer savvy with that stuff. Ha. I think we are going out soon to do some shopping. I need to get some new pants for work. Because all of mine are ridiculously big. I can't wear them anymore.

The weather here is GORGEOUS today! Love it! Happy Saturday everyone.

All about sleep

So sleep and I need to have a serious conversation because we aren't seeing eye to eye right now. Seriously. I hate when I can't sleep. Grrr....And if I'm posting right now, that means I didn't hit the gym this morning.

Surprisingly, I'm alright with this. I know from time to time I'm not going to make it to the gym 4 times a week. 3 times is okay. I am (fingers and toes crossed) going to go Thursday and Friday and that will make 3 for the week. I just know that exercise helps with my stress and puts me in a great mood before I get to work. And I need that because I am stressed these days at work.

It's hard doing the job of 3 people.

Don't forget about my first giveaway. You have until Friday 8pm EST to get in on it if you want to.

Still sickly

I am still feeling sick. I spent all of yesterday in my pajamas. I did laundry and a few other things around the house but that was about it.

And this morning? I still feel horrible. So I didn't go into work today like I had planned. And I am so not going to the gym like this either. Because I know from my past experiences that it will only make it worse if I go work out. As soon as I am feeling 100% better I will be back at it. Or at some form of exercise. Whether it be at home or at the gym or whatever.

I also would like to follow the lead of many of my fellow bloggers who post their food on their blogs. I noticed that the lovely Andrea has been doing that this week and it has given me some ideas. Now I am the kind of person who tends to eat the same thing a lot. And I may not post pictures everyday but I figure why not at least a couple times a week? That might help keep me on track.

I have the worst headache in the world today. Ugh. Going to lie down I think. Enjoy your Sunday my friends. If you are watching the superbowl don't eat too much!!

I'm here and not working out

So the reason I'm not at the gym right now and I'm home here updating my blog? My car died. Hubby was on his way home from school and the car blew up. Ugh. It's so annoying. It seems like every time things start to fall into place something else falls apart.

Right now hubby is at his parents house trying to fix the car. He is hoping that it can be fix and it isn't going to cost us mega money. Because right now we just don't have the money. We're living on ONE car as it is. Hubby's best friend let him borrow a truck for as long as we need it. But this just sucks

I did end up staying late at work and getting in a little more extra money but it wasn't what I really had planned or wanted. That will burn me out quickly.

I'm off to watch "The Biggest Loser" and hate on the red team.

Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground

There are days I love my job and there are days I hate my job. Yesterday I hated it. Today I loved it. It's hard since they let two people go and I'm doing so much more work. Some days I feel overwhelmed and over worked and unappreciated. Then other days I feel like I rock my job and they love me and I can do no wrong.

Man am I glad I have a 3 day weekend even if I have to go have my lady parts looked at on Monday. Ha!!

I went to the gym tonight. It was mobbed when I got there but it died down not too soon after. I am super glad I went. I know I'm going to sleep great tonight, too. I did 4o minutes on the elliptical and then 35 minutes of weights. I'm hoping to ease back into the workouts slowly as to shock my body too much. I'm hoping to get into the 22o's by the end of February.

If you did not watch "American Idol" last night you missed "Pants on the Ground". Hilarious!!

Feeling much better

I'm obviously not going to make it to the gym in the morning. As much as I want to and try to, it just ain't going to happen for me anytime soon. So I have to start going at night. I know I keep saying this but it MUST happen.

And tomorrow it will. Tonight is grocery night so it won't happen tonight.

Work is still busy. It still sucks having lost 2 people. I am super busy and the day goes by pretty quickly.

September is going to be here before I know it and I really hope to be around 200 pounds by then. Plus if I want to be able to walk around Vegas comfortably (and Arizona, too) I need to get into some better shape.

Have a great one my blogger friends!!

Gym date

I started to get ready to go to the gym today and hubby asked if he could go with me! How awesome was that? So we did 45 minutes on the elliptical and then I did 30 minutes of weights. For right now he just wants to cardio and then see what happens. I'm happy with him doing that right now. I know he wants to get healthier and I'm so happy!!

I am super glad I wen to the gym as well. It was busy. It's January and all, but by March it will have died down and anyone who is really serious about weight loss and getting healthy will still be there.

My arms are sore. Hubby says his legs feel like jelly.

We saw "Up In the Air" last night. It was good, although I did not like the ending. But I do enjoy George Clooney very much.

I started reading the first "Harry Potter" book. I have never read them and now I have them all.

I had some cereal with a banana but I am still hungry. I am going to have to eat something else. Good luck to all my blogger friends doing the x-weighted challenge! Sure wish I could join you!!

Biggest Loser Yoga

Um this kicked my ASS! I was going to do my new Jillian DVD but decided not to. Instead I pulled out my the Biggest Loser Yoga DVD and 30 minutes later was covered in total sweat. It was freaking awesome.

I can't explain why I'm not going to the gym but as long as I'm getting in 60 minutes of of exercise I'm super happy.

I am feeling stronger and smaller everyday. *Giggle*

I used, for the first time, recipe builder on the weight watchers site today. I put in the pumpkin ziti from Paula Deen which I am going to go make for my lunch for this week. I thought it was 6 points per serving but it's telling me 5. Score!!

Funny how yesterday I was starving and today I am not hungry at all.

Off to make my lunches!!

Phew

I am out of shape. Waaaaaaaay out of shape. I did my first P90x tonight and wow. It beat the crap out of me for sure. I was a little upset during one part. For letting myself get like this again. For letting myself get so fat and out of shape. Ugh! But I pushed on and managed. Anyway, the first one I did was Core Synergistics and it was tough. A great workout, but tough. Damn that superman banana. lol

Not saying I'm going to do this for the rest of my life but for days I'm not hitting the gym or days I don't WANT to hit the gym, it works well. With hubby nearly able to start working out (his 6 weeks will be this Friday) I may actually go to the gym more since he wants to start. We'll see.

I'm kind of in a bit of a depressing "funk" right now. Hopefully I'll get out of it soon. I think besides my weight issues, work is doing a number on me.

Off to watch Thursday night's "Grey's".
