Sorry I've not been blogging, it's seriously been the farthest thing from my mind. I have been so busy working, and exercising and dieting and spending every second with Derek that there's never enough time to blog. But I'm back today. So real quick, here's the link to my new video, I lost 12 pounds so far check it out if you haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_11HUBPwatk
Tonight I was naughty and went out to eat with Kacey after work. We went to Cafe 24 a.k.a Round the Clock and I am so stuffed. I am worried that I'm not going to have lost any weight after this week because of how I ate today. But hopefully I can get my weight back down to where I was before. So the dieting has become much easier now because I can go without tempting foods and hardly ever get cravings anymore. It's pretty awesome. I also was able to go workout with a friend yesterday and I still have blisters on the back of my heels from all the walking we did. Thanks Jenille for keeping me motivated :) I am always looking for someone to workout with so just call or text me and I will be there. Next month is going to be crazy busy. I'm turning 21 in 13 days and that's my mini-deadline for weight loss. I want to have lost at least 20 lbs by my birthday, so that's only 8 more pounds to go. I might not make it but I'm gonna try my hardest.
Anyway, I'm pretty sleepy and I'm gonna get up early tomorrow to workout so..Goodnight all!

Week 4, Day 5
Talk about an inspiration! Friday after work, I went with mom and michael to run on the track at t.f. south. and we ran around a couple times. I did 1 mile and ran up the bleachers too. After one set of stairs, my legs were burning!! Mom and michael told me that I did an awesome job, and good words never get old. So when I got home, I ate dinner--Salmon and rice--- and then I played Pirates of the Caribbean Lego, and it was so so so fun! It was really nice and rewarding to be able to chill out and play a game after my workout because I knew that I worked hard and I never felt that feeling of "oh I really should be working out right now". My conscience kept quiet that evening :) I recommend that game, it was awesome!

Week 4, Day 4
Work work work work work work CRASH. That's how I'm feeling today. I worked 7am to 7pm today and I am really feeling it. I still have to workout tonight when I get home too.
Today I want to talk about my favorite weight loss games.
1. EA Active 2 for Kinect
This game really does a great job of working your total body. It's fun to play because there are so mnay different workouts and scenery settings to choose from. Personally I enjoy the mountain biking simulation where you alternate between running, squatting, and jumping to get over hills. It comes with a heart rate monitor that is more or less acurate. Everytime I play this I am sweating and gasping for air, in an awesome workout way of course!
2. Zumba for kinect
This one is probably my favorite one to dance to. I love it because the music is upbeat and gets you moving and it makes you feel all sexy and sassy too. The bar at the bottom fills up if you do the moves correctly and the main dancer critiques you on how well or poorly you are performing the moves. I only wish there was more variety and that it gave you some more lee-way in terms of performing the dance moves. If you don't do the dance move right little red marks appear on the body parts you aren't moving correctly. Sometimes it's frusterating because you can do the move perfect and it will still say you are doing it wrong. All in all, a great game.
3. Dance Central for Kinect
This one is a little more mild and better for beginners. It's fun because you just DANCE and there are tons of songs that you know. This one makes you feel like you actually know how to dance (where my white people at??!!) because most of the moves are easy to follow. I love the colors and characters and music. There is also an option of turning on "workout mode" that tells you how many calories you burn per song, though I don't know how accurate it is. This one is great because it plays like a fun video game should but gives you that feeling of being active and tricks you into thinking you are burning calories!

Week 4- Day 3
I meant to post my blog and the new video yesterday but it nothing was working and instead of staying frustrated, I didn't deal with it and decided to take care of everything now. So here's the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbiFmfWcHVE
Yesterday I had WAY tooo much food and this morning I desperately ran on the tredmill to try and burn extra calories. I am finding that after each workout part of me wants to keep going because I know I can do more but I normally can't because I'm always rushing to get to work. Time is so hard for me to manage. I got involved with some Ben & Jerry's last night, and I felt so shameful this morning. It was just like doing the walk of shame in the morning at 9:00 a.m., lol. So I ran 2 miles today and did some ab crunches and arm reps. I have to work from 7-7 tomorrow so I'll have to workout tomorrow afterwards. I didn't eat much today and I don't feel hungry so that's good. It's almost time to get some new running shoes. Speaking of running shoes, have you seen these?
they are called Five Fingers and look so cool! I want to get a pair but I'm not sure how they would be. They are really expensive though. Still, they seem neat. Well eenjoy the video, I will be back again tomorrow!

End of Week 3
Week 3 is over, and I've lost a total of 10 pounds since beginning weight loss, and I'm really happy so far with my results. I weighed myself at 240.0 and when I get under that, I'm gonna flip out cuz I can't remember the last time I weighed less than that. I have come to realize that I can actually eat what I want (in moderation) and lose weight as long as I kick my ass on the treadmill. Remember yesterday when I was gonna go run on the high school track? Well I did and it was an awesome workout. I ran 2 miles (8 times around) and climbed the bleachers. My legs were burning! I was also silently proud of myself because there was another guy there who was in pretty good shape and he only ran 1 mile and left, but who's counting? Today my leg is hurting up by my hip. I need to stretch more otherwise I'm going to hurt myself. Today I only ran 1 mile on the tredmill and I did it in 10:21. Not my best but still pretty good for someone in my shape. There will not be a video available today, sorry! I will post it tomorrow though. I just didn't have time this morning, but since I'm working at 2 tomorrow, I will put it together in the morning.
At work today we had a picnic which meant we had a lot of food. I had a big lunch so I only ate a small dinner. And I am proud to say that I only had a small piece of pie at work. It was so small that everyone was making fun of it. I don't care, they can tease me all they want and eat their 1,000 calorie slices of pie. I'm done eating junk, I'm done treating my body wrong, and I'm through with not living. :) Video up tomorrow!

Sunday, week 3 almost over!
LAST CHANCE WORKOUT! or so they say on the biggest loser. Today is Father's Day, and this morning we had eggs, toast, grits and sausage. Not the healthiest of breakfasts but hey we're celebratin'. No plans for today as of now, except it's gonna be HOT! I'm gonna workout in a bit, gotta burn off those calories. Yesterday I ran 2 miles, and it wore me out. Just when I think I can't sweat enough...surprise! It's so gross. Anyone ever see Jackass 3, where Preston does the "sweat suit cocktail"? Such a lovely image.... :O
This week has not been as productive as the first week because I don't think I have lost any weight. If anything, I've put on weight. I need to be stricter with my diet, especially not eating after 9:00 because that's bed for my metabolism. I also think I need to go to bed earlier, but I don't want to wake up any earlier in the morning. I think I want to go run the track at t.f. South today and try running on a different surface instead of the tredmill. Well, off I go. I really really don't want to do it but I'm gonna!

I don't even know what day this is anymore!
http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wqPKYTh/
I lost track of counting the days plus I think "day 1, Day 2, Day 3" etc is a little boring. I will have to challenge myself from now on to come up with a creative title. So I've been having this problem with sleeping in and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Every morning my alarm goes off at 9am but sometimes I am tossing and turning like 15 mins before the alarm goes off. I do this bad thing where I will check to see what time it is and then because I know the alarm is gonna go off, I can't sleep annymore even though I want to really bad! Another thing too: when I reset my alarm for like 9:30 after it goes off once, I want to get a little more sleep in but I can't because then I start thinking about all the things I could and should be doing. "oh I gotta go workout, I hav to make my lunch, maybe I should walk the dog, maybe I should run outside today, I have to clean the kitchen, I need to clean out my car" It's a nightmare. I guess it's good that I get up then because I can't sleep, but then I'm cranky for like half the morning. Tomorrow should be fun cuz I'm getting up at 5:45 to go to work at 7. Never like doing that!
So I would like to change the layout of my blog. I don't want to have pics of fruits and vegetables and bikini models or any junk like that. Something cool looking but gives the message of "life" and changing it for the better. I'll hop on google later and see what I can find. How are everyone's workouts going? Leave me comments! Talk to you tomorrow!
Breakfast: cereal with banana and milk
Lunch: Lean cuisine dinner, yogurt
Dinner: 2 corndogs w/ ketchup, cottage cheese, water to drink
