Slim Without The Gym

I don't know why, but I prefer to workout at home. I have P90X, and Biggest Loser dvds, and I have a schedule that I have made so that I won't get bored, and that my body won't hit a plateau. I want to lose 20 lbs, and I don't want to pay a gym membership, because it's not in my budget.

My home gym consists of dumb bells, pull up bar, dvds, and a jump rope. So see there is no excuse for me not working out. I rather workout early in the morning before I get my day started. Today it didn't work that way cause I was dealing with getting my kids in order and out the door for school. So now that they are gone, and I'm off work today, I will workout for 45 mins, shower, and run my errands.

Todays workout will be Plyos from P90X, 75 sit ups, and 25 push ups, bicep curls, dead lifts, shoulder press, and squats. I really want to get back into running. When I was in high school, I ran track and cross country. I really enjoyed it. May be I should set a goal to do a small marathon....hmm. We'll see about that.  Stay tuned.

Slowly progressing.

So this evening I weighed myself and I'm 190.7, which is good, considering that I was 194 a couple of days ago.I really would like to challenge myself. I want to do a 90 day mind, body, and soul transformation.

I'm not happy with myself at the moment. I will be 35 years old this Sept, and I really need to get it together. I did the big chop on my hair 8 months ago, and that was me learning to love my hair, and stop hiding myself behind my hair. So now it is time for me to love my body, and to become more confident in myself. I need to believe in myself, and think positive thoughts. I know God is blessing me, and he wouldn't give me anything that I can't handle. So stay tune  as journey to discover a new me. My likes, dislikes, wants, needs, and desire. I will be happy again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stressed and Depressed

Here I am 194lbs....eating like crazy!!! Why? On the verge of losing my home, and scrambling to find a new one. I gotta get out of this stooper. I'm not so fly now, dealing with my personal problems. But I have to stay positive, and focus on getting it together.

Its not gonna be easy.... Lord knows it's not. I will start going to sleep early, workout at 4a.m., and than my mood will be better through out the day, and I can focus on getting a new place. Believe in myself even if no one else does. I will get through this.

I'm Back

Hello world! I've been away from blogging for some months, but I'm back. I stopped working out, and was pigging out. Well no more of that maddness. So going from 236lbs to 194 is not bad at all. My new goal is to get to 165lbs.

My plan to achieve this goal is 3 days of cardio, and 2 days of strength training. My diet plan is to eat more protein, no sodas, and to control my portions. I think 90 days is enough time to get rid of 29lbs. Stay tuned!

Slowly Getting There

Im still trying to get to my goal of 145lbs. I currently weigh 177.9lbs, and counting down. My problem is bread,soda, red bull. At one point I was able to give up soda and red bulls for mnonths. But when I get stressed, I gotta have the caffiene. As for the bread, I just love it. I have to discipline myself, and continue my daily walking,and portion control.

Where Im At Today

Well Ive been away from blogging for awhile, but Im back now. Still working out, walking, and doing the portion control. I have battled with soda and Red Bull, but I did manage to incorporate Cranberry Juice, and a dieters tea that I drink twice a day. So I have managed to get down to 179.9lbs. My goal is still 145lbs. I would like to hit this goal by June.

Cardio is my bestfriend. I was always doing the P90X Cardio, up until my T.V. blew out. So now I have to turn on my stereo and do the moves that I remember for 45mins until I purchase a new one.

I know the main thing that I need to control is over eating when I am stressed, and lately Ive been stressed. Its hard being a single mother of 4, working minimum wage and trying to stay sane. But working out calms me and helps my day go by cause Im full of energy after a great workout. So I am not goin to let stress take over my life, Im going to battle it with my workouts. So 145 here I come!

I'm Still Here

Although it's been awhile since I blogged, I've still managed to lose weight. I currently weigh 185.5, and size 10 in pants. I fell off my workout horse for about 2 months, but I'm back. Back with more motivation and determination. My goal is still 145lbs, amd I'm gonna reach it.
