I didnt realize I took such a long break from buddyslim! I had started making videos on youtube for the rest of the year and yeah.. that was time consuming! lol anyhoot, i’m still more than likely going to keep doing videos just less frequently! I’m “violetnmatt” on youtube if you ever wanna look me up! and if you care to subscribe that would be greatly aprreciated too!

So yeah I’m up 2 lbs since my last weigh in but i’m sure its not a real gain!  :p

Today I start school for the first time since 2005… I’m nervous and excited… I’ve signed up for a cardio boot camp course tues and thursday mornings so that I have NO EXCUSE as to not working out.. LOL good idea right?! I’m less likely to miss that seeing as its going to affect my grades~ Also today @ noon I’m starting p90x for the second time.. this time i’m going to see it through to the end!! I made it too week 9 last time and then just fell off because I got sick for the entire month of december.. So not cool. But I’m better now and I plan to kick butt!!

Hope everyones having a great monday so far!! I gotta get to cleanin this house and then to working out!! I’ll probably check in tonight or first thing tomorrow

Have a great day & kick butt! 2010 is our year!!

So I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought some fat free yogurt. Well that’s an understatement it’s actually a huge tub, lol. Anyhoot, I got some grapes and apples and some other things I need to make dinners for the next couple days. I like to freeze my grapes and then stick em in my yogurt for breakfast. YUM. Oh I got in 2 miles yesterday and than today again! YAY for me! At the rate I’m going I’ll most deffinitely make it to my goal this year. That’s so exciting! I went to Target last night with my almost invisible friend ( she weighs like 80 lbs) and I was lookin at all the super cute swim suits and I thought to myself…. I might just be able to wear one of these things this year!! That in itself is so exciting!! hehe alright this has just been a nice long ramble. My girls are yellin now and I have to go!!

Come Monday morning I’m marching my happy butt (or lack there of) to the gym and starting my mission again. I feel so out of it and guilty even though I had no choice in this matter. I’ve managed to eat well through this endeavor so that’s pretty great. I think I want to give myself a goal of losing at least 3 lbs a month. That would put me pretty much at my goal or past it by December! I’m so down for that! Than its shopping time, unless I think I’d be happier a little less than that. I’ve never been that thin, so I really don’t know where I’ll be at my happiest or most comfortable. I’m glad I found this site. Even though we did get a bunch of healthy goodies my skinny hubby who can’t gain a lb when he tries, bought a bunch of junk too. It’s really hard to watch him have all my favorite junk food. lol I know that sounds stupid but its really hard. And he makes jokes about it. I dont think he realizes what I’m battling here. Thats why I’m so thankful for this site! Its awesome and everyones so great! Anyways thats it for my extra rant..  thanks for listening!

Well I’ve had a hell of a week. My husband got sick on monday, had a fever of 103.6 and all that jazz! So wonderful! So the next day he was in quarantine locked up in our bedroom. I’d go in to feed my little sickie and what not, but we kept him in there so we didn’t get the babies sick. Yeah well that didnt work next day we’re both pretty bad and then the following day my 2 yr old gets a fever. Now there’s only one left the baby. And she’s got a fever tonight. Needless to say I havent been able to work out since saturday. I never knew how sad I’d be that I actually couldn’t (still can’t) work out! I’ve still been eating well and drinkin plenty of water. But this has been a pretty crappy week.  My hubby went to get groceries the other day and bought lots of yummy! and still low-cal foods! So now as soon as I can breathe right and dont have this (*excuse me*) nasty flemy cough I’m back on my game! Woot Woot!!

I still cant believe I’m at 162 right now and I only started his little journey mid December !! My hubby mentioned today that I only way like 7 lbs more than him which is so awesome because for the last couple years I’ve been at least 15 or so lbs heavier. And I’m 5′4 and he’s 6′. He’s gonna start going to the gym too because he wants to get as big as he used to be. All muscley (sp?) and stuff, yum. He was at 180 at one point. Ok now I”m rambling! If you’ve made it this far thanks for reading!! Anyways I’m going to kick it into high gear once I feel better. I gotta keep this up! I’ve done so good so far! WOO HOO! Lets do this people!

(sorry for my excitement I’m trying to keep my mind off my nasty cold! hehe)

I went to the gym last night again with one of my friends and ran half a mile. Then I woke up bright and early this morning, 6 am, and hit up the gym again. I went with one of my good friends from church. I ran three miles!! Woop woop!! So far I’ve walked 10.5 miles, which means I have 49.5 miles left for my 60 mile valentines day challenge. I was really aiming for 2 miles a day but I’m thinking 3 might be my lucky number. So I will have actually done more than 60 miles by feb. 14th and thats just awesome! Woo hoo! I’m so excited! Maybe I’ll be able to finally buy something sexy to wear for my hunny! I’m dreaming of the day I can walk into Victoria’s Secret and buy me something sexy.. and look GOOD in it!!

well thats it for me tonight! everyone keep on keepin on!!

Atleast when it came down to working out. I didnt do a thing. But I did eat really well, countin my calories an all that jazz. I did go on a date with my hubby which was long overdue. We went to see “Yes Man” with Jim Carey. It was really funny! And then we went out to eat at subway. Yum. I really could eat there all day everyday. If I had some never ending supply of money I would!!

So today I woke up determined to get a good work out in..and.. I DID! I ran 3 miles on the treadmill. I even got in trouble while at them gym for playing my music too loud ( *blushes*) The office manager at my apartments came in and told me to turn it down. It was pretty embarassing but I kept on trucking! And I’m about to go back and run some more! And I made plans to meet one of my girlfriends at the gym at 6:30- 7 am tomorrow morning too.. yikes!

And I ran 3 miles on the treadmill! It was extremely boring at first seeing as I packed my IPod and speakers but forgot to charge it. So needless to say I had no music for the first mile! But then two girls came with their fully charged I Pod and I worked out happily to some pretty good music. They go to the gym four times a week around 7 am and I think I’m going to join them. But I’m going to go 5-6 times a week.. just because I know I can and I really want to lose this weight!!!

Oh I also am now part of the valentines day walking challenge in which I have made my goal to be 60 miles by February 14th.  I’ve done 4 so far (3 today and 1 yesterday). I’m thinking this is going to really good for me. I’ve never set myself up to do any sort of challenge so I’m really excited! I cant wait till I reach the 60 mile mark! Anyways I need to keep logging on here to keep up with my food log and what not, and ofcourse for some motivation/inspiration.  Thanks for reading!

So I went to the gym this morning and ran a mile on the treadmill and then a mile on the bike.  I’m watching what i eat, mainly doing portion control. I really need to drink more water and keep up with my multivitamin.. I wish I had someone to go to the gym with. Its pretty lonely in there, but I do have a brand new i pod with portable speakers to make thing go a little faster and keep me up beat! If it werent for music I honestly dont think I could do it. All I want to do now is keep up with this working out deal.. It’s so hard for me to keep it up. I guess its because I’m so LAZY!! I want to get out of this slump! I hate looking at myself in mirrors and shopping is a nightmare (not to mention embarrasing if I go with anyone). I’m so glad I found this site. I just need a good buddy now!! Any takers!?
