Thanks. <3

Sunday Jan. 24, 2010~

I am exercising regularly again and I feel great!

I picked up the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred yesterday and it is intense. I really like it, I want to keep going with this.

I've been eating better, and I hope I can maintain this.

Tim is more negative than ever. After working out one night he said that exercise was "stupid" and "a waste of time." :/

Wednesday Jan. 27~

Still keeping up with the working out and making sure I eat right.

DESPITE Tim's negativity and feeling bad about it, I'm on top of things. I am going to do this!

Still keepin' it up! YAYY. lol.

Did level 1 of Shred and also 3/5 of a Billy Blanks Tae Bo thing. Didn't finish Billy Blanks but I tried it out.

Yay 30-day shred!
Jillian kind of gets repetitive every day listening to her explaining at the first part, but it's an awesome exercise. :] Makes me feel like I'm dying every time, which is a good thing, I guess. xD

I'm sorry Tim isn't being supportive. Don't let him get to you though - as much effort as it is to be healthy (because it really is nowadays) it's something we can't afford NOT to do. So don't give up! We're all behind you!  

[Gossy]

Thanks Stars. You're always very encouraging. C:

Sunday Jan31~

I just weighed myself and I haven't lost anything. Not even 1 lb. I have been working out diligently all week. Maybe I am not doing enough cardio? Perhaps I should add in 20 more min. per day of cardio. Though I don't have a treadmill and it's freezing outside. I can't wait for the crappy weather to warm up. I hate winter.

I'm sorry Tim isn't being very supportive and doesn't want to participate in your journey to be healthier. I know it can be hard to keep in a healthy mindset when no one else really is. Neither of my parents are trying to lose weight or anything either. If I cook something WW related they'll eat it but they'll still buy Honey Buns and other junk too.

You're doing a great job though. Do you do any weight training? If so you might have just put on muscle and it hasn't really burned off more fat yet.  

[Gossy]

Thanks for the encouragement.

I do a bit of weight training, and I hope that that is what is showing up on the scale. I guess I expected the fat around my tummy to melt off as well. I wish the fat around my stomach would be the first to go, but it looks like it will be the very last >__< that is very frustrating. But I will just have to push through and work harder.

Wed. Feb 10~

Have some drama going on in my life. ):

But I have been keeping it up. I skip a day sometimes so it's every other day, but I am doing it regularly. I am seeing a difference mainly in my face and upper body, but still no luck going down a size in jeans or the belly fat around my tummy.

Tried level 2 of the 30 day shred and I couldn't do it. I guess it is back to level 1. >__<

I have been really stressed out... I'm trying to leave the father of my child and I don't know how to do it. I am really unhappy in my relationship.

I haven't been really losing any weight. I have kept up the exercise and eating right, which is really tough during these days.

I have been looking for a job pretty much all the time I have that I am not taking care of my daughter.

Last night I felt like I was having an anxiety attack. it was a horrible feeling, and today I still don't feel right. I'm trying to avoid spiraling into depression.

I'm doing so much better! I am determined to move out of this place and start a new life. I am getting a new job and new apartment. I will still be close by because of our daughter, but I am so happy to be walking out of this unhealthy relationship.

down to 121 lbs. today, feeling great. I haven't been working out every night but I have been eating pretty healthy... A little more at restaurants than I should but I have been ordering healthy foods also. n___n

I never have fries any more, I order steamed veggies instead. I am so happy to be finally where I want to be!

May 12th~

down to 117! Another pound gone, wooooo! It took me over 2 weeks to lose that but I didn't get much exercise because major things have been happening! I moved out! I have a new place. I am completely broken up with Tim.

I'm going to pursue a relationship with an old friend. Hopefully it will work out. He said he would officially ask me out in a little bit.

I'm content. n___n  

[Gossy]

Also a recent photo of my progress. I think I'm doing ok!
