Things don't always go as planned!

I am happy to say that Tuesday is just about done! I think I might just turn off the computer and get in bed after this post!

Today, my 18 month old niece spent the day with my grandma and then went to the urgent care where she was diagnosed with croup.  My grandma, who has dementia, was taken by ambulance to the ER because she fell and they need to do a CT scan of her head. She had surgery on her hip a few weeks ago and most recently broke her arm and now has a bright blue cast! She also has disabled the sensor on her wheelchair so that the nurses/staff do not know when she gets out of her chair. Oh, and she tried to eat a bingo chip. What? Even my baby niece hasn't tried this.

Did you think I was done? Nope...no, not even close. My grandma ended up in a different ER tonight because of chest pains. So, my mom, dad and I headed to the hospital.  The ER was flu city, so gross! I asked to wait outside so that I was not infected by the germs. By now it is nearly 8 pm, I have not worked out or had dinner.  I had already logged my points in to ww based on what I thought I was going to eat. So while my dad went in to see my grandma and grandpa, mom and I went to the cafeteria. I ordered a cheeseburger and made a salad.  Yes, that is correct, no french fries for this girl! I wasn't going to get a work out in, but I was not going to shove greasy, carb loaded fries in to my face! I felt a big sense of accomplishment...it is the little things!

Grandma ended up confusing pain in her shoulder (from the fall this morning) with chest pains. So she will be going back to the home shortly.  Now I sit here thinking that the phone will probably ring at any moment, with my mom telling me she is taking dad to the ER....keeping my fingers crossed that his chest pain goes away. This is a daily occurrence for him, so we usually just wait it out.

Needless to say, I scratched my workout and re-figured my points for the day. I still have 1 point left, not too bad.

I started Week 2 of c25k and it went well (on Sunday).  For some reason, it felt a little easy. We will see how the next day goes!

I have had enough of this day and am ready for bed!

Week 1 is D.O.N.E.!

Hi there!

Week 1 is dooooooooone! Tonight, nearly killed me. I am not sure what it was. I felt like a slug running. I did ok though. I kept telling myself...if biggest loser contestants can do more than this, you can do this....all this sweat is the fat crying! I seriously was sweating like there was no tomorrow. I was chugging the water, closing my eyes, playing mind games...anything! And then...I finished. ALLELUIA! 

Tuesday it is on to week 2. yikes. I seriously LOVE Mama Laughlin's Fit Camp on FB. Everyone is soooo encouraging. It freaks me out a little bit to have a blogger that I read comment on my status! OH MY LAWD...crazy. I would pee my pants if Mama herself ever did. 

I am beyond excited for Biggest Loser to start tonight! This is probably one of my favorite shows! I can not wait. 

I keep thinking about things that are coming up in my life that I do not want to be fat for.  Here are two. They may seem shallow...but true

* February 23rd going to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in Vegas! I want to be able to wear one of my cute outfits from AT Loft.  I have to lose a lot before that happens...but maybe I could buy something new to wear to it either way! 

* July 2013 - Family pictures in Maui.  I do not want to be the fat auntie in the picture. I want to be able to see a significant difference in the pictures from 3 years ago. I want to LOOK happy and to FEEL happy! 

I have decided that I will reward myself before Vegas for being on Week 8 of c25k with a gel manicure for the weekend and a pedicure. I haven't had a pedicure in probably a year and a half! So my first goal is 7 weeks away....I can do this. 

Weigh in at Weight Watchers on Tuesday. I am worried though because I haven't had any of my extra points to eat or eaten any of my activity points, I don't lose when I do that. THIS WILL CHANGE THIS WEEK - I WILL EAT THEM!!!!! 

Ok, BL is about to start ...wahooo.
xoxo

New Year...2013

I have not blogged in almost 2 months. Yikes. ooops...but I don't think anyone missed it :) haha!

I joined WW for the 18th time. No, seriously, probably the 5th time? My first week I gained .6. How does that even happen? After consulting the BFF, she said I was not eating enough, and needed to eat my extra points. So the next week, I did just that, and lost 3.8.  WOOT WOOT!  I go to a meeting on Tuesday nights, so needless to say, I have not been to a meeting in 2 weeks :(.  I have not counted points either...major fail. But I have been very concious of what I have been eating and the scale has stayed the same.

Tomorrow I begin counting points again.

Today, I started Day 1 Week 1 of c25k.  I lived to tell about it too. I survived. It felt like my fat was bruising my own ass however. So gross. I took a picture of myself and I look like jabbathefuckinghut.  So G.R.O.S.S..  If I grow a pair, I will post it some day. Ha. But it definitely is inspiring. I look gross when I am working out, but I have to view it as the fat going out of my body.

I am now SO incredibly sore! Hurts so good?  Not so much! blah! Oh well! I did come home and make a sweet coffee drink...so good!


Happy New Year. I am proud to say I started the new year off with a workout!!! oh yah!
