This morning I had a doctor's appointment. I am really disappointed in myself. It is time to get my ass in gear. I have gained weight and feel extremely fat. I am sick about this.
Unfortunately my first reaction to "going on a diet" is to eat everything that I am going to eliminate from my house - NOW! I know, horrible idea. I keep telling myself that. I have one cupcake left and am going to eat that to get it out of here...I am sure I will only eat half of it....I will let you know ;) I came home from the doc and made myself a salad for lunch. Spicy ranch dressing, butter lettuce, some cheese and a morningstar chicken patty. It was really good. I can't afford to do weight watchers weekly...so I am going to count calories and work my ass off - it better end up being literally!
Tomorrow I am starting c25k. I read on Mama Laughlin's blog that she lost 40 pounds in 9 weeks through this! HOLY COW. I know I feel better when I exercise. I have every other day this week. Gym and a bike ride through the harbor. I loved it. I know that none of my shorts are going to fit this summer unless I lose at least 20 pounds. I can do that in 9 weeks, right? I need to go do some research on how many calories I should be eating in a day. I am open to any suggestions ;)

Let the games begin....
Spring Break is finally here! Finally! Did I say finally? I needed a break from work so badly!!
Easter was great as usual. It is my favorite church service of the year...I love the music! We had an easter egg hunt at mom and dad's for Kate. Wow, she scored! Mom got us little easter basket, not too much candy! I gave some to my sis and bro in law. Kate said to me "you are such a nice sister". I asked her why, and she said, "you gave candy to your big sister, that is nice, you shared". so damn cute. I think she is trying to convince herself that having a little sis will be ok :). She has no idea the fun that will ensue! we went back to my parents house for dinner that night. In between, I took a 2 hour nap! That never happens! I was supposed to go to the gym, but sleeping was happening instead!
I started off my spring break with a good workout. I went to the gym this am and did the treadmill. Felt good to have the sweat dripping down my back! tomorrow I am going to go for a bike ride. It is supposed to be tshirt and shorts weather here...in the 80's by Wednesday! I am in heaven!
My bff and I signed up to run a 5k at the end of August. I am excited. I need to get into training mode though. She is kicking my butt already! :)
This afternoon I am going with my sis to register her for the new baby. i think we are going to Target. Also, have to start planning the baby shower. I love to throw parties!
Later I am going to post my goals for the month of May.
Have a great Monday!

Better Days
I think I have seen better days....today sucked! :)
To help me get out of my funk/bad mood I headed to the gym. I was only able to do the stationary bike for 45 mins...stupid chest cold! But it felt good!
I have been doing well with eating...just not seeing any results. So frustrating...but I will get there.
I need to overhaul my life...any suggestions????

Gosh I don't know what to write about. So I am just going to kind of ramble, like a diary :)
Things are good, but at the same time, I am disappointed. I am disappointed in life, myself, others... the list goes on. I hate feeling this way. I was watching something that said you are happy if you tell yourself you are happy. For some reason I can not get it out of my head. I think about it in the morning driving to work. It is very difficult to be happy with work. I am in a bad situation, but thankful I have a j.o.b. :) but that will eventually change. Anyways...my point was that the same show said that if you are depressed, sad, etc...you are encouraging it by seeing yourself that way. On that note, as someone that has struggled with anxiety/depression...that is VERY difficult to do. There is something that overtakes you and is extremely overwhelming...it is not controllable and it is NOT the person's fault. You already feel bad because of the way you feel. I am lucky to have an amazing counselor and she is just what I needed.
If you know me well, I do not easily open up to people or express my feeling easily.
Ok, enough with that rant.:) I really did not mean for it to be a rant :)
My niece is staying with me this weekend....LOVE! Tomorrow my parents and I are taking her to Legoland. She has never been....I can't wait to see how she likes it. She is really excited. She said in the car tonight, "I am having a really exciting time. I am staying with you Auntie, going to Legoland and Max's party", Holy crap, that is an exciting weekend if you are 3! I love that Kate comes over and it is now her bedroom, not mine. I have the best niece in the world. I love that little girl more than words could ever express. It is amazing the feeling I got the moment I held her. She asked me why I was crying in that picture. I told her because it was the first time I saw her and loved her more than the world.
I can't make it to the gym tomorrow, but there should be lots of walking at Legoland. Looking forward to a normal week...so my workouts can be normal!!! I need to be better about my eating. I know that there are some days I eat too much, and then some that I don't eat enough. No wonder my body is not reacting in the way I want it to~ must work on that!!
I hope everyone is having a great Friday!

ahhhh
I finally did it, I made it back to the gym. I felt really good making it there. It helped that one of the "real housewives..." of something was on. Turned my ipod on, and I was off walking on the treadmill. I just walked, no running. Then I did the eliptical and the rowing machine. It wasn't my best workout, but it felt good. Afterwards, i got a jamba juice and then headed to Target for a few groceries and a new pillow. Pillows are on sale for $4! woohoo.
My plan was to make taco salad for dinner, so I needed to get some lettuce. I was really disappointed with the options at Target. There were 3 heads of lettuce and they were small. I figured I would only get one salad out of it. The bags of salad were pathetic. They were half way empty. Usually I am not disappointed by Target, but I was today. :( not good Target, not good. I went to plan b and just made it without lettuce. I did not want to stop at another grocery store.
The weather was awesome today. I hope it continues. I did some spring cleaning today. I cleaned out my bathroom cabinet and drawer. I am not sure what got in to me. :)
April is going to be my no excuse month. I will work out 5 times a week. I want to see results. I also think I am going to do ww on my own. I have all the info for the points plus program...so I might as well give it a try for April also. I will be successful!!!! I will let you know how it works out!

Whole Foods...how I love you!
Hi there!
I have been a lazy butt all week. Yes, my goals to get to the gym have not been met this week. But here is to a new one. I started today by walking around Mission Bay for a bit...not sure what the distance was. But at least i was moving!
Then it was on to Whole Foods. I love that place. We are getting one closer to home this summer. I have a feeling I will be going all the time. Right now I only go about every couple of weeks since it is about 45 minutes away. But it is so worth it! I have heard a lot about "Justin's" peanut butter packets on different blogs. So, i bought some. I can not wait to try them!
I will be sleeping in tomorrow and then working out!!! Sounds like a good sunday to me...what are you doing?
