Tonight's workout

I want to first tell you that it is so much easier to work out with a friend. Or at least for me it is.... And I think that is because without them to say that we are going to workout I don't do it. With that said, I like to make it a competition at the gym. Whether it be unsuspecting random people on the machines next to me or the friend I went with... I silently judge where they are, how fast they are going, if they are out of breath, I match their stride then speed up... No one knows ... No one cares.... And its my inspiration so it works.

So tonight's work out.... Posted is a picture of a color run running schedule. I have started to "train" for next year's run. So for today's run it was 1 minute running then 1.5 minutes walking. And I LOVED it. I thought it was so easy and I was so impressed with myself! Since this run only adds up to 20 minutes I did some extra tuning/walking to make it 30. Then I did arms and did some of the machines we have at the gym. I really wanted to do lunges and suicides but the gym floor was being used....

Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to get up early and do p90x. But if that fails because I want my sleep (which happens often) then I will go to the gym after work. Where in the past I would snicker and doubt that from the get go... Not anymore.... For some unknown reason I've had a change of heart.
Well that's it for now.

I'm Back

Its been.... awhile. But here I am. I cant stay away from losing weight because it is a constant thing in my life. I want to be able to walk into ANY store and be able to find a cute pair of jeans that fits and that isn't happening. Today, my weight is .... dumb roll please.... 254 pounds. So I am 12 pounds down from March. And like I keep telling myself, it could be worse. I could be moving in the other direction and gaining weight. So as long as the number is going down even if it is ever so slightly its still going lower.

Earlier this month, my friend and I decided to make a lifestyle change and to be more active and although I haven't made a full change I'm slowly getting there. I have been eating better... Cutting down the fried foods and trying to eat leaner meat. But I'm not going to lie. It is so hard. Not only because I LOVE to cook and there is my addiction to food... but because I'm influenced my the people I surround myself with a lot. I'm not blaming them for the peer pressure (for the lack of a better word) but myself for lacking the will power to say no. When they say "lets go get ice cream," I say OK because I love ice cream. And where I may have gotten a huge bit in the past, I, now at least, get the smallest serving. So its sorta better....

Either way... I'm going to try and blog more.... because I feel that this may keep me accountable. The reason I have stopped other blogs is because I feel the pressure of 'having' (even though I have no readers...) to keep writing and the want goes away. But I think that the pressure in this case will keep me motivated because if there's one thing I lack in my life it is motivation.

Well tata, on with my day.
