I feel you, Sheri. I've been having a fat day for the past 7 months. UGH! I'm doing some emotional eating today. I'm starting to get stressed out. DANGIT! Oh well. I'm working out tonight. No excuses. I made that decision last night as I was laying on the couch saying to myself, I'll just go to Curves. Umm....yeah...when? When we get paid again. Well that's no excuse for me to just lay around. So, I'm getting off my lazy butt tonight and working out. There aren't many good tv shows on tonight anyway.

Are You Having a Fat Day

Jake asked me this question last night.  I was in a weird funk, and he was trying to figure me out.  I said, "That's every day, but I'm not really worried about it."  He asks why, so I explained.  Do I need to lose a few pounds?  Yes.  But it's not like it can happen overnight, so I just need to be consistent with my eating and exercise, and it will come off, week after week.  Also, when I look around me and see the real definition of fat out in the world, I highly doubt that people look at me and say, "WOW, she's chunky!"  So, am I where I want to be?  No.  Am I getting there?  Absolutely!  One day at a time!

Missing In Action

Well I've been MIA for awhile now. Been pretty busy, and I kept forgetting to post. I'm going to leave out calorie counts from now on because sometimes I just don't know how many calories are in some of the foods I eat. Over the weekend I had plenty of time to lay around and think and getting healthy has to be a priority for a number of reasons.

Reason #1: my doctor told me I need to stay and shape and eat healthy. cervical cancer is caused by lifestyle. i didn't know that. smoking is the biggest threat for cervical cancer (no worries there) but since i already had a red flag, i was instructed to stay healthy.

Reason #2: i finally got some info out of greg over the weekend and we'll be getting married next fall!!!!!!! yay!!!!!! i'm excited but now petrified. i have to start losing inches and toning asap.

So, i know that one of my gifts for christmas is a workout dvd set, and i'm going to join curves. i had great success with them before. i remember wanting to run after a month or two of working out there. i'm hoping that i'll have the same success as i did previously. now the real motivation comes in! skinny bride = happy bride!

So today I did the circuit training my trainer gave me.  The routine is do it three times and in between each get on the treadmill for 3 minutes.  It only took me 35 minutes, but I am here to tell you, it just about killed me!  WOW!  I am hoping for some toning and upper body strength
