Shame on me

Since I was chastized for not updating I thought I should put down a little note. On the bad side, I gained 1.4 last week. I've been eating like a moron and have not been exercising like I should (aside from working my arms playing the drums on Guitar Hero). If I sould like I just don't care it's because I don't. I have much bigger fish to fry right now so my weight-loss motivation has slipped considerably.
But I do have a small piece of good news. I did my 5k in under 42 min. the other day, shaving off a full min. from my previous time. I almost puked, literally, when I got off the treadmill but it was totally worth it.
This week hasn't been going much better except that I think I'm getting sick and not really feeling like eating much which is cool. No food+lots o' liquid=no gain this week. So we'll see what happens.
Peace out yo.

Do these make my butt look big?

Went shopping today at Old Navy. I was looking at their spring dresses. They looked like crap on me, which was sad. However, in the clearance section I found a pair of jeans that were cheap and cute. The scary part was that they were a size and section smaller than what I have now. Section meaning they are a woman's size not a woman's plus so they are less roomie. Figured it couldn't hurt to try them on and what do you know, they actually fit! They're a little snug but new jeans are, and they aren't uncomfortable. SWEET! Also got a cute sweater to wear over a tank (thanks for the find Donna). I'm going to be rockin' the cuteness in this ensemble!

It's a big day sports fans

I had no clue what to expect when I went to WW today. That usually means I'll gain because, well that's what big girls do. So imagine my shock when I stepped on the scale and found that I not only didn't gain, but I lost...4 flippin' pounds. WTF? I have now not only reached, but exceeded my 5% goal so now I just have to keep it up and I'll be down my 10% soon!

Here's hopin'

So this week has been pretty crap so far. I'm hoping that emotional turmoil burns more calories so at least I get something (i.e. weight loss) for the trouble. That's pretty much it for now, oh except that I'm doing a 5 k this weekend. Hope it doesn't rain!

Woo-Hoo I'm down 2!

All the @ss kicking by Jillian must have worked, I burned off 2 lbs this week. You know what that means? I hit my 10 lb. mark, 10.4 to be exact. I'm feelin' lean and mean today!! Now, if only I can do it again next week I'll be down to my 5% goal!

How far will I go? Pretty darn far.

I went to give blood today. Instead of the 11th hour workout I thought I'd just bleed a little to see the scale go down tomorrow. That's dedication right there. Unfortunately I have low iron and today it happened to be too low so they booted me out. And in honor of my failure I wrote this little song:

(Sung to the tune of "Beauty School Dropout" from Grease)
Blood donor dropout
no juice and cookies for you
Blood donor dropout
won't take a drop or even two
I answered all the questionier
and they gave my finger a prick
spun my blood around and then I found
no dice, you are anemic!

Blood donor dropout
no big needle stick today
Blood donor dropout
won't even let me if I pay
I've rolled up my sleeve
don't make me leave
I even think I cried!
The nurse just gave a smile
and a sticker that said "I Tried".

I must be a fast learner

So after the first day of Jillian trying to kill me I was actually better. In fact, the second day wasn't too bad. Don't get me wrong, I was dog tired and thirsty, but not once did I feel like I was going to keel over. I took a break on Sunday. Washed the cars and did some walking, but nothing serious. Today was the gym. I did push-ups a little easier than before, so that was a plus. And I just know under all the pooch is a 6 pack waiting to be revealed because I have to do that "advanced" ab moves before I feel a thing. And to add to the happiness I'm expecting a good surprise when I weigh in on Wednesday. Stay tuned.
