Tuesday Workout

I noticed I had a new episode in my que on HULU -> so I headed to the garage to do my 30 minute workout that (according to mapmyfitness) I am supposed to do today.  This is one of the reasons why I really love my IPhone!

I started with the stepper for a while, until my thighs were feeling it...then I kept going.

Then I used the weights for a bit and lunged from side to side with them.  By then sweat beads were dripping down my face.  I have missed this feeling so much.  You can even see one drop on the right side of my face!

I also added my new Weight Loss Stones to the left side of my blog.  There eight in there right now.  I am sticking to only weighing myself on the weekends.  Those seem to be the best days.  And Friday is now my cheat day.

Successful Saturday

Weighing myself this morning was a great feeling.  I actually was kind of worried and didn't know if I wanted to.  But I was surfing healthy websites and tips etc and decided I was just going to do it.  I am down 3.8 lbs from my last weigh in...I can't remember when that was.  But I am currently at 297.4lbs.  What you see next is what I had for breakfast.  Cereal with flax oil, fried ham wrapped in cheese, and of course my vitamins.  I am missing some essential vitamins from my cupboard but they are expensive so I have to wait for that.

I am trying to change the look of my blog...but for some reason I can't take off the picture that is currently on it...Can someone help me?
  For lunch I made a lunch meat sandwich with ham, cheese, and spinach.  Yumm.
   Today is an active rest day for me...so I cleaned the kitchen!  For dinner I went to a friends and ate a bunch of salad, and cooked veggies, and garbanzo beans.  Then we went on a short walk to pick black berries and we went back and had ice cream with the berries and some brownies she had made.  They are the same gluten free ones I buy at Fred Meyer.
  I was reading through my first posts on this blog and realized I mostly wrote about what I workout with but not so much my eating.  So I am going to try and post more on that.  OK, gonna go.

A Green Drink

Today I made healthy eating choices.
For breakfast I had, some strawberries, a Zing Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar, and a non-fat Greek Yogurt.
Then for snack or lunch (since my hours are so messed up right now) I had an apple and I wanted another one so bad that I ate it too.  I also had a Zing Chocolate Coconut bar.  That one was really good and I plan on getting the rest at work tomorrow.

Now, an hour later, I decided to make a green drink.
some strawberries, with spinach and orange juice....I wish I had a vitamix. The spinach is so thick.

A new Addition

No weighing today.  I never weigh when I am working these crazy early morning shifts.  I drank tons of water yesterday.
 I went through my blog to when I first started this diet to see how I was so successful.  Pretty much I ate mostly raw food and worked out almost everyday.  I didn't really write about what I was eating though.  I wish I had.  I just got off work (it's 12:05pm).  I stopped by Panda Express and got yummy food.  I promise to workout today.
I am about to have an addition to my garage...

I have decided it is time to quit paying $26 a month at the gym and put it to better use.  So I got this one and can spend my $26 a month on this.  I am hoping it comes in a week or so.  And I hope it's a good one.

YAY!  This is the display

I needed to give myself more inspiration and make this more fun than a duty.  So I made this picture for my wall out of a frame from a broken mirror.

It is pictures of things I am looking forward to when I successfully get down to 180lbs and stay there.  A lot of times I see girls or women walking in the store and become envious of them because they have the body and shape that I want.  But when I am home, I don't see that and I lose my inspiration.  So I am going to change that.  And I want to start hiking again.  The person I had for my hiking buddy is now 6 months pregnant, so that may not be happening.  I am ok doing it on my own though.  It's just more fun when you have someone to encourage you along.

Utilizing the Garage

I have been working 2 am - 10:30 am this week and half of last week.  I remembered that I was working out and losing a lot of weight was when I was working this same shift. About a week ago I changed my garage around me made myself a workout place for the home.

So anyway, I have been fighting with myself.  I know I need to workout and eat better.  But I just wanna chill before going to bed.  And that mostly means playing a game or watching a movie.  But I decided to put two and two together.  And that's what you see in the next picture.  I set up the stepper by the sideboard and put the computer there.  I didn't do it for very long...but I still proud of myself because I actually did it.  I did it twice.  Ok, it wasn't for very long.  But it was better than I have been doing.  Small Steps.

Anyway, I am gonna start the easy way.  When I got a tired, I stopped.  I did push myself a little bit.  But, I have to build up my muscle mass again.
