Friday - Weigh In Day + LA Marathon

Hey NeverEver's!

So that title might be a little confusing. Especially since I am not actually running or even walking the LA Marathon. I am actually currently working at the Asics Department. I will be there tomorrow as well, so make sure you stop by if you are running that LA Marathon!

I will tell you something though. Standing for 8+ hours is not easy, or at least not anymore, so my feet are so not happy with me! Even with me getting some cool new gear with working with the Asics Group!

Yup, I am really liking the shoes. Comfy and after standing all day they weren't to bad. I am sure the shoes I have wouldn't have held up as good.

So, now it is time to actually get down to my Weigh In. Can I hear drum rolls please!

Now it is time to Weigh In!

Here is my take on this. Last week I did horrible. I didn't blog, I didn't eat right, I didn't drink right and I didn't exercise at all. This week, I have been doing some juicing (haven't been perfect on it) and I have been working out. So I am not at all surprised by this number. 

I have to earn my weight loss and I wasn't earning it. So the fact that I got back down to where I was before I stopped that. So this isn't bad. But I got to do better and I am planning of having next week to have better!

Okay NeverEver's, that is it for tonight. I am hitting the sack early so I can see all you LA Marathoners tomorrow morning!

Friday Weigh-In + Spring Cleaning

Hey NeverEver's!

I hope you are ALL having just as amazing weather as I am right now. Currently, in So Cal it is really HOT! Don't believe me? Not that I can blame you it is only March 1st, but here is the proof!

That is right it is 93 degree's outside! How can it be so hot when it is just the end of Winter. I mean Spring doesn't even begin until 3/20 (I know this cause its my anniversary to the Hubby) and it is already hot. Have to say it looks like for California...Summer is really just around the corner.

Which doesn't leave me much time to get really serious about my weight loss. I will admit that I have done more this year then EVER before but, there are days that I don't do anything. No gym, no jogging, nothing, There are days when the sugar craving gets to me and I give in. Not with moderation but entirely! And while these 'fall backs' are okay in SMALL doses there has been too many times it was days before I got back into the fitness swing. That is not acceptable. Not anymore. So, I created this

 I do have rest days in there but I WILL earn them. I know I can do this and I know my body can handle it. It is time to show what I can do! So this is my first step in Spring Cleaning!

The second step...well it just walked in the door while I was writing this! 

The Hubby surprised me by buying me a Juicer! Which is awesome because I tried juicing before but found out that I really did need a juicer...not a blender. I do have an amazing Hubby! Anyways, this will be the second half of my Spring Cleaning. Starting Monday I will be doing a juicing cleanse, now professionally done since I have the main tool ^_~

Now it is time to Weigh In!

I know that I gained some on 2/22 and was not happy. But that is what I get for not working out and just eating what ever I wanted. This week I went down, not much but it is down, and I will keeping getting that number down. 

Which is why Spring Cleaning is so important! 

So NeverEver's, March is going to be OUR month to Spring Clean. Not only our houses and gardens BUT our bodies and mind. I do hope you will create your own calendar and with me keep at it! 

See you all on Sunday ^_^

Weigh In - Week 3

Hey NeverEver's!

I can't believe that I have been gone for a whole week! A week! Its not that I don't love you all either but I wasn't feeling to good this time. I hope you never have to go through sinus headaches at all! Especially the ones where you can't seem to go on ANY electronics because it just hurts your eyes.

So I restricted myself away from the computer for my own heads benefit and tried to eat, sleep and workout around the headache that wouldn't go away! Happily, I can be on the computer again and my head has stopped hurting so it is back to business!

So the first order of business is...I hope you all had an awesome, wonderful, amazing Valentines Day yesterday! Mine went basically as planned...except no Bruce Willis. When I get a job then I can watch Bruce Willis!

I did get some flowers from my parents! The ones on the left is for me and the plant was for the Hubby! The whole house now smells like a flower!

Of course I had to make dinner last night, it was a given and besides I liked it! So I went with chicken with penne pasta and spinach. I added some lemon to the chicken when I noticed it was a little dry but didn't add enough...lesson learned for next time! 

Then the Hubby and I took the wine, btw this Middle Sister Wine is DELICIOUS, and finished the latest season of Ghost Adventures (yup we went all romantic ^_^) and ended up with a fun game of Soul Caliber in which the Hubby defeated me so badly!

All in All it was a wonderful night with a wonderful Hubby. I just need to get better at Soul Caliber because I can only handle a defeat like that once in a lifetime! 

Anyways, now it is time to Weigh In!

I am pretty dang happy with my weight loss, considering I was either sleeping or trying to sleep this week. What I am most happy with is how much the BMI is going down! 

Now, it is time to get back to the gym (still really sore from Wednesday) and make that scale happy next Friday! 

Just a reminder, tomorrow is my first ever Mud Run. I will be posting all about it before, during (hopefully) and after tomorrow. As well as a full post about it on Sunday! 

So until then NeverEver's, I hope you all have a great weekend! 

Friday Weigh In - It's Time Again!

Hey NeverEver's!

It is Friday...Friday is finally here! Here on the West Coast we are just getting off of work, Hubby just came home, and getting ready for our weekends. What an awesome day.

But, around here Friday's is also my Weigh In day. This is still a new thing for me, accountability that is, and it all started when I decided that I needed that accountability. And I have to say that I love it. Even when I gained weight -_-.

So without anymore procrastination here is my results for today!

Last Results 2/1/13

Weight - 206.4

BMI - 40.51

Current Results 2/8/13

Weight - 205.5

BMI - 40.34

Weight Lost to Date: 0.9

I am actually pretty darn happy with that 0.9 loss this week. It hasn't been the best week for workouts, okay almost none at all, and not really watching what I am eating. 

So every small, tiny, step is a victory in this journey. Besides, I am feeling the changes in my clothes and it is AMAZING! 

Okay NeverEver's I will be leaving you all until Sunday. I hope you all have an amazing weekend and wish us here in Cali...we are having a weird storm. Okay maybe not weird but not really normal for over here ^_^

It was pouring...and yet the Sun was out. Then it started to hail and then stopped. Then it started to pour and thunder and now its quite. But the cycle has been repeating itself all day. 

It has been serious snuggling weather...and now that the Hubby is home...well it is time to snuggle ^_~

Friday Weigh In + Color Run Help!

Hey NeverEver's

Today is Friday and I am suddenly wishing it wasn't. I usually like Friday's and I am all for the weekend but today I wish it wasn't weigh in day.

As you can tell it wasn't that great of a weigh in. But, let me give you some background. Since tomorrow is my Color Run I really didn't want to go to the gym to workout, but I also needed to weigh in. I made a commitment and I am going to stick with it!

But it felt wrong just to go to the gym to use their scale and I couldn't go out and purchase a scale (no job kind of stops those easy purchases lol) but I had to weigh in! So, I had to come up with something and something fast. And I did.

Use my Wii Fit, which I am going to point out hasn't been used since 1/27/2009!!!!! I don't even remember what I was doing in 2009, except for using the Wii Fit for the last time. 

So without more postponement from me here is my stats!

Weight: 206.4

BMI: 40.51

Date: 2/1/13

Not happy with that 3.4 weight gain...I am SOOO not happy with that number. But, that is the number of this week and it WILL be down next week. 

On the happy note...well really other note...I do like using the Wii Fit board because it also includes the BMI and not just the weight. Also, that there is no cheating this system. So besides the fact that I gained, it was really fun to bring out the Wii Fit. 

Okay on another note (insert drum roll here) the COLOR RUN is tomorrow! I even picked up my race packet yesterday!

I choose to take the picture in Black & White because I wanted what I was going to wear tomorrow as a surprise. And it will be a surprise because you guys are going to pick it out for me!

Outfit 1: Purple / Yellow Sports Bra, White Tank, Black Pants 

or

Outfit 2: Bright Yellow Sports Bra, Official Color Run Shirt, Black Pants w/ Grey & Bright Yellow Strips

I need to know for tomorrow so Tweet, Instagram, FB or Comment here. You will be listened to ^_^. 

But before I leave you all for tonight, I have to share with you all my dinner!!

My version of Beef & Broccoli! So two pieces of lean steak, soaked it in 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce and cooked. With the Broccoli it was boiled. That was it and it is delicious! 

Okay NeverEver's this is all for tonight. Have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend! See you all on Superbowl Sunday! 

Friday Weigh In

Hey NeverEver's!

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a quick day at work that is now ending and you are ready for the WEEKEND! I know that I am...if only cause the Hubby is with me not because I actually need more time at home ^_^.

Reference

So as I mentioned yesterday I had a surprise for all of you today! I have decided that Friday's will be my weigh in day. It is something that I haven't been doing with any regularity and I just can't allow that to keep happening. Not only is this for this blog, it is a weight loss blog after all, but for me to keep a better accountability on myself. 

With that being said I would like to put my weight out there and just start this thing ^_~. 

I am currently at

203

Which is less then my first official weigh in on this blog and a total of 17 pounds down from when I lost my mind during my confession! 

With all of that being said...I am (kiddies turn your eyes away) DAMN proud of myself! Could I be doing better? Yes. Am I just losing the same weight that I had already lost before? Kind of (I did lose 2 extra pounds ^_^). But with everything I am very proud of myself. 

4 pounds away from getting out of the 200's and I am ready to leave that number behind! 

Okay so that was the surprise! I hope it was worth it ^_^. This will be a thing every Friday for the foreseeable future. 

Have a wonderful weekend NeverEver's! See you all on Sunday!
