I worked the past few days. I didn't go to the gym today even tho I debated with myself. I had an eye appointment in Port Hawkesbury today and then had to go get fitted for glasses this afternoon plus I have been battling a cold/flu the past few days +. I lost 4 lbs in the last 2 weeks which is great but I need to keep going. I'm gonna make sure I get to the gym tomorrow.
I just wanna get my core figure to look good. I carry a lot of my weight there. I need to loose weight overall first. I am contemplating a personal trainer but they are sooooo expensive, I really can't afford one with all my bills for student loans and my car. So it's up to me to work my ass off as if I had a personal trainer there to kick it for me. I want to loose @ least 20 lbs I know when I get down to that point I will keep going to get to my 40lbs total goal.
The past 2 weeks have been hard because even tho I was watching what I have been eating and going to the gym, it just didn't seem like the lbs were coming off until this am when I stepped on the scale. It was quite rewarding. However, I have noticed that I can take 5 lbs off and then put it back on and it doesn't seem to take much to do that. I have been yo-yoing like that for the past year. So I have to keep going. Stay the course.

A Great Sunday!
Today has been a great Sunday so far!!!!! The weather has been beautiful all weekend!
This morning I went to the gym. I did 20 minutes of interval training on the treadmill and then the bike @ 100 + rpm for 20 mins. I kept my heart rate between 150- 165 for 40 mins total. And then i did some sit up with the medicine ball and some circuit weights to work out my arms. I sweat like crazy! It was a great workout.
My boyfriend Anthony made me a running playlist for my ipod and it has been great. The tempo is upbeat and you can not help but get completely lost in it. I really pushed myself these past few days! I am proud of myself because I did not hesitate to go to the gym for the past three days. I need to keep this up!!! I feel GREAT!!!!

Meal plan
http://www.slice.ca/shows/bootcamp/PrintMealPlanFemale.pdf
I find that this meal plan really helps me with portion control and makes me realize that I have to actually eat and not just go hungry. After all our body needs fuel. It can not run on nothing.
The Past
I don't really know where to start?
It seems to me when I look back over my life up to this point; all my anger, bitterness and sadness surrounds how I look @ myself. I have always looked @ myself as not good enough because I have always weighed a little more than the girls that were my age growing up. I was the girl that would be in the corner not talking to many people 9only to my own group of friends) because I was scared to open up to people in case other people would like me I guess. My parents always took that as oh it's okay Anne is just shy. In fact, it was a prison I kept myself in, so that others would never really be able to know me. Because if people liked me I may have to like myself.
As time went on, I have lost a lot of things in life, I went through a couple relationships that all ended badly, my Mom died which left me feeling completely abandoned and some other family issues. None the less from all of this the anger grew and grew. I went to confession during a time when all of this was going on because I was fighting this internal anger that was just ripping me apart and the confessor said to me, time and time again when I came to confession, all my issues seemed to be rooted in anger. The question is... what is it that makes you so angry? What is it in your life, lifestyle etc... that is the root of this anger. With that.... I discovered, the anger was me. I was angry @ myself for limiting myself. For allowing myself to be over weight so that I could enable myself to feel bad about my image. I know a lot of may sound familiar to many. But what is it in you that keeps you back from truly being happy? Not just okay but truly happy?
With this I joined Nubody's (now GoodLife) and I started working out. I lost 40 lbs in about a year. Since then I have gained 17lbs of it back and I feel that anguish and disgust with myself that I felt before so I am on a mission to loose another 40lbs. This time I am going to have to work very hard because motivating myself to get to the gym has been very hard lately. A girl that I work with has lost well over 100lbs and has been a huge inspiration to me. She's looks great and she encourages me to stay the good course. My boyfriend Anthony has also been great. He loves me no matter what and is truly my best friend.
With all of this my goal is 40lbs and I am hoping to be a good example to those I work with and my loved ones. With the increasing incidence of hypertension and diabetes now is the time to realize that to sit around and do nothing for your body is asking for a life filled with health problems. We only live once try to live it to the best.
My challenge to those who are reading is to figure out in you what it is that you can do to be happy and love yourself!!! ♥
