Jillian is a tough one and I’m definately excited. I have never sweat this much with a 20 minute workout. I dont sweat this much with most workouts! I think it’s due to the fact that she wont let you stop, not even for a sip of water. I have already lost some weight. (isn’t that nuts?!) But I wont be saying anything about it until I complete the full 30day challenge. :-x  I hope everyone is doing well I worked 13hrs yesterday so i’m exhausted

So I bought the Jillian Michael’s 30day shred and I have yet to try it (is it bad that i mostly stare at the DVD with nervous eyes???). I must admit I’m scared. Shytless. I know that Miss Michaels is a tough trainer and I’ve done the 10min segment with her in the biggest loser workout. The lady is nuts, but in a good way. It’s kind of like during the ENTIRE process you HATE her but when you start to see results you love her sooo much you don’t know what to do with yourself? So here’s the plan:

-30 day shred June 22 -July 21

-Goal: Fit into those cute lil shorts I got from Kohl’s by my b-day (aug 9)

- Keep you lovelies updated atleast twice a week throughout the process

- Stick with the weight watchers points!!!

So I also got my Hungry-Girl book and so far so good. I’m loving it. I tried a breakfast recipe today. I made a breakfast burrito with liquid egg substitute, fat free Kraft cheese, 1-100cal burrito and 2 slices of turkey bacon. Yummy!!! (and only 4pts!) Her recipes are REAL and its things that you would actually WANT to eat. It doesn’t seem like I’m sacrificing flavor at all. I also picked up some special K vanilla almond cereal (my fave), it’s sweet and crunchy and perfect when I’m craving something that’s not so good for me. I found a new blog about weight loss, www.burningthescale.com I like it. It’s practical. It’s real. Does anyone else have the 30day shred DVD? Does anyone want to join in with me? Let me know =]

Commitment is always a word that has scared the living shyt out of me. 4 wat reason i have noooo idea. But I have come to the conclusion that I NEED to make a commitment to myself in order to get this weight off. I have been soooo busy with my internship and I have been using that as an excuse for not waking up and doing my workouts (hey hey hey!! I do believe that that 30mins of sleep makes a difference!!! lol). But I now know that I must sacrifice somethings. Like talking on the phone late at night so I can get to bed earlier in order to wake up in the morning and workout.  I had choose between chipotle and healthy lunch yesterday. I was SOOOOO proud of myself for making the healthy choice!!! That is until I came down with an AWFUL case of food poisoning!!! Fever, dizzyness, vomiting the whole deal!!! I was talking to my friend and he laughed, “That’s what you get for trying to be skinny!!!” he said. No, thats wat I get for not thoroughly checking my dam sandwich. He sed that to avoid the problem next time I should just eat at chipotle since I’ve never been sick from there. I thought to myself. “. .. or maybe I should just by the new Hungry Girl book and make food at home to take to work so I dont feel like death again?!”.

I’ve decided to go out and buy the book and then run to the grocery and pick up somethings to try atleast 3 new recipes this week. I’m also gonna go search for the new Jillian Michaels workout DVD. It claims you can lose 20lbs in a month. . .I think that’s a bit much but I’ll try thr program in combination with weight watchers and do my best to keep you updated. I’ve always wanted a real blog to document my life. Maybe I’ll use this one to document my weight loss =] (that’s its purpose anyways but. . .u kno lol)

If you havent heard about hungry girl, you betta’ ask somebody!!! You can find her at www.hungry-girl.com. Amazing recipes and the best healthy spin offs of fast food. I’ll try a recipe and give you a personal review. Also ENVY GIRLS is a great toning DVD set for abs, arms, thighs, and butt, I have been getting AMAZING results with this workout! Plus you get 4 DVDs with complete workouts for less than $25!!! Ummmm hello??? when else will you find that? I got it at best buy but they also have it at www.amazon.com. AND one more thing (l0l last one I promise!) for all you beautiful ladies please checkout www.fashiontofigure.com they have the cutest clothes and EVERYTIME I wear something from there one of my size 2 friends always ask me where I got it from =] For sizes 12 to 26.

I’m soooo sorry I’ve been MIA. I got an internship with this company so I have loooong days and short nights. I’ve deicded to do the Biggest loser workout this entire month. Just becuz it talks about maximum weight loss and really get a great heart pumping workout everytime i do it =]. I workout every morning before work. Oooo I’m SO EXCITED about my tummy!!! lol It’s going down down downnnn. I hope everyone is doing well. i hope I can get on here a few times a week

I’m not feeling very motivated today. I’m actually straight out depressed, been having some issues with the boy. Me more so than him. But I’m sure we’ll work through it. I’m going to do the biggest loser workout today, even though my body is ridiculously sore from doing it on tuesday. I also got an internship =] I have orientation saturday and I officially start monday. I’m very excited and nervous all at the same time. This will be something great to put on my resume though. I can’t believe that when I go back in the fall it will be my last year of college. geesh. Who would of thought. I graduated H.S. in 2005 and now I’m getting ready to graduate college and I’m looking into graduate schools to do my MBA. I’ve come soooo far and I feel like my weight is the last thing I need to tackle. I am controlling I will admit that, but the one thing I should have control over is the one thing I let continuously slide under the radar. I’ve never been one of those ppl who cried about being fat. I’ve always been slightly cocky and live everyday as if I’m on a runaway. Heels, makeup, hair, nails. . .the whole parade. This is about my health. Not about my outside appearance but the inside, literally lol (heart, lungs, liver, etc). And like I’ve been reminding myself this whole week, take it one day at a time. =]

I am sooooo sore. I did the Biggest Loser workout yesterday and I am definately feeling it!!! No worries though. I am going to do my 4mile WATPS DVD right now and some arm and ab work. Do you like the new profile pic? I decided it  was time for a change lol. I am really trying to get my tummy as flat as I can before I go bak to skool in August. When I’m not working on abs specifically running does the trick. I started running at school with one of my roomies in sugust and wen I cam home for Thankgiving break my mom was amazed. She was like ” OMG LOOK AT YOUR STOMACH!!!” Sooo I am going to keep it up and I got this really cute shorts from Kohl’s the other day and they are snug in the waist. My goal is to wear them with some heels my birthday weekend =] Sooo I have some motivation. What motivates you besides good health?

Did anyone else see oprah yesterday?! There was a lady on there who lost 200lbs in one year the natural way. Through diet and excercise. I know everyone is different but honestly it was such and inspiration. As soon as the show was over I got up and did my Walk Away the Pounds 4mile walk, Pilates Abs DVD, and my arm work from weight watchers.com. Today is a new day soooo I’m going to get something to eat and then do another workout DVD and maybe do some leg excercises from weightwatchers.com. One step at a time. I had McDonalds last nite=[. I’m not going to dwell on it though becuz today is another day. Fresh start. My goal for today is to eat right and stay within my points. I hope you all are ok.  =]

Soooo I’ve decided that I want to lose 10lbs this month. So I’ve deicded to take it just one day at a time. I’m going to workout 5days a week. And I’m going to try and plan out my eating. And of course continue to read my on success story a day to keep me motivated. Hopefully this works. I know I need to focus and try hard to get this weight off. =] I hope all of you are doing well.

The boy spent the night I got like an hour and a half sleep. Mostly talking and cracking jokes sometimes doing grown up things. lol You would think we just got 2gether but it will be almost 2yrs soon enuff. Soooo I think my bf, my mom and my bff are getting together to throw me a lil something for my 21st b-day (aug.). I dont know much details yet but I kno it will involve staying a wknd in a suite in the city preferably overlooking Times Square would be nice =]. But neways the point is I NEED to look great for this. And even though the boy made me a terrible (but sooo yummy) breakfast I am determined to stay on track the rest of the day!!! Today is AB day!!!!! Is it corny that I get soooo excited to workout my abs?? lol I’ve decided to read atleast one success story a day on weightwatchers.com to keep me motivated.

I’ve been gone for such a long time. But i have lost weight. I’ve been so focused on school that I’ve honestly forgot about updating. At first I slacked on updating because I started togain weight and I was to ashamed to come bak. I didn’t lose the weight I thought I was going to and went into a bit of a depression becuz of it and gained basically all of it back. But now I’ve changed my thinking and I am almost 15lbs lighter =]. I now know that this journey is full of bumps in the road and I love the support I get from everyone on here. I am now on weight watchers and it is working for me slowly but surely. I am feeling better and my stomach has gone down considerably!! I know that all of this comes through hardwork and I WILL continue to work hard.
