Goddess in Progress

Okay…I confess.  I had a teeny taste of a lemon wedge thingy that had some coconut on top.  It was good.  After that I had a taste of a fig type of lemon wedge thingy.  That was good too.  Having said that, I wanted to throw in the towel and skip my gym workout.  Why not?  I had already dipped into a non-menu temptation.   I decided against skipping the gym and went anyway.  So glad I did.  One of the major factors in me going was knowing that if I went off track now, it would turn into two days, then three days, etc.  That has been my pattern.  So I went.  It’s done and I worked off my two little treats.  I’m ready for tomorrow.  Oh…I didn’t add those treats into my calorie count only because they were home baked (brought in by boss) and I have no idea where to start in terms of entering the cals.

Not feeling well today.  Threw up at work once.  Left with a headache.  Threw up in the car right in the driveway (luckily I had a plastic bag).  Came inside and took a much needed nap in the afternoon because the previous night’s sleep was, as usual, crapola.  Hoping I feel better tomorrow.  Food managed to remain positive today.  Only missed my a.m. snack due to not feeling well and my nap.

Another positive eating and exercise day under my belt.  I worked up a good sweat on the elliptical.  That’s about it for today really.  Sleep was really crapola last night.  I’m going to see if I can get a better night’s sleep tonight.

I managed to scathe through another positive eating and exercise day.  I think I may take a shower, do some light reading and retire early tonight and get some rest.

Tried Muscle Milk (cookies ‘n cream flavour) shake after the gym today.  It wasn’t 1/2 bad.  I did however, taste a bit of coffee in it.  I don’t like coffee or anything coffee flavoured.  When entering the nutritional info, I noticed it contained high % of daily nutrients, which is excellent-eh.

Still trying to find a picture that I can upload.  This is the picture that I’m using as motivation.  I’ll get there someday dammit! I’ll get there!

Today was a good day through and through. Positive attitude, positive eating, and exercising. I’m ready for a wonderful night’s sleep.

Work was just ‘eh’. Nothing fantastical. Co-worker bought a 3-pack of macadamia nut cookies. They’re huge. He had one and dropped the other two on my desk. They were waiting for me when I got back from lunch. I told him I didn’t want them and he told me to take them home for the kids. DS ate his but didn’t quite finish it and just offered it to me. I asked him to give it to his father. DH ate it happily. Phew. Major catastrophe averted.

Well that’s it for today. I feel great. Hoping tomorrow’s a repeat.

So father’s day celebrations went well today. DH really enjoyed his new 42″ LCD HDTV. He better. It sure cost enough. That’s okay. He deserves it. He works hard.

Today’s food was much of nothing. Nothing healthy, that is. I started the day off with 3 pancakes drenched in syrup. I had some cherries in the afternoon. Dinner was pizza. I had three slices plus a can of pop. I know, I know. I need to make better choices and I will. Starting tomorrow. Promise.

I got a call from my friend today. Turns out she joined my gym and was calling to tell me she was excited about it. She plans to train in the gym when she can’t make it to her tae kwon do training. Can’t wait. I have a weekend partner!

Tomorrow I will be going to the gym. The plan is to start with some cardio, followed by upper body weights. Upper body will be chest and biceps. I will be weighing myself so I can have a starting point. I need to lose up to 5 lbs and that’s it. Not impossible for me as I’ve done it before. Just can’t figure out why those 5 lbs keep creeping back. Well, yeah, I know why. Cuz when I reach my goal I figure I’m okay and start eating like an idiot again. That really must stop.

I’ve pulled an inspiration page from my fitness magazine. A pic of a girl I would like to model my figure after. Only difference is I won’t be taking weight loss enhancement pills…Hydroxycut Max to be exact. I know I can do it on my own and I will. DH said he’d help with the ab portion (he’s a soccer player…currently on a 1 yr hiatus). He also said he’d do my Jillian Shred DVD with me. Ha! I’d like to see that.

Well, that’s it for me today! I’m going to read a few more entries and see what’s up with everyone else!

Well no, not really. Let’s see. I started my day fully expecting to eat properly. I did for the most part; however, painting the living room got in the way of me making my desired menu. I ended up eating two sandwiches. I could’ve stopped at one but I was hungry. I also had some rum punch as a treat for when we were finished painting.

I must say I was really upset today when the paint can was opened. I don’t remember my colour selection looking so crappy on the paint chip card. I literally mean CRAPPY! It was ca-ca brown. That started my tear fest. I mean really, how am I supposed to be a good decorator if I can’t even pick colours for my own home (I’m currently working towards my interior decorator certificate)? DH tried to cheer me up. Poor guy. He must think I’m insane. He painted one wall to see what it actually looked like on the wall. We then ended up painting three walls with it (we have an open concept house). Now that everything’s painted and the artwork and mirrors are hung, I really have to say it doesn’t look so bad. I really need to see it again in natural daylight. My bro-in-law came over to pick up the kids for a bit and he said he liked the colour. When the kids came home they said it looked nice. I guess it’ll have to grow on me because I’m not going to paint it anytime soon again (this is our second paint choice as the first one was way too light and looked just like builder’s beige…you couldn’t tell it was painted). So we went from one extreme to the other.

Tomorrow is father’s day but I’m hoping to take some time for myself to go to the gym. I have to get back on track and pick myself up from this slump.

Thanks for the comments left on yesterday’s post. It nice to have support!

…heck happened to my blog? Everything is gone. I suppose it’s just as well. It’s not like I was doing anything I said I was going to do.

I’m really lacking motivation. I don’t know why. This entry will be a short one as I’m really feeling pretty pathetic. What will it take for me to actually start doing something about the way I want to look? It’s not like I have a lot of weight to lose. In fact, I don’t really need to lose weight. I just want to firm up. That’s all. Firm up. Is that asking a lot? Apparently it is.

Let me review some of my favorite websites and see if I can get back on track or at least gather up some sort of motivation.
