Cravings...

I've been craving chocolate like a mad woman!!! Unfortunately, I can't eat chocolate because of my allergies. :( This realization, has caused me to feel a serious case of the blues! I will try to kick the blues out of my system with an early visit to the gym tomorrow!

Hectic Weekend!

This week was filled with family activities and friendly visits! I barely had time to sleep. Hahaha!!

I weighed 140 both on Thursday and on Friday. The weekend came and I didn't exercise and ate like a little piggy. :0) on Monday, I weighed 142 pounds. I worked out, ate the way I'm supposed to and this morning: BAM! I weigh 140 again! :0)

This is a train wreck!! I lose weight Monday through Friday and gain in the weekend!! I've got to cut that out!!

Have a good day!!

My Addiction... :0)

Well, it's not totally bad except for the fact that it costs money... :/  I am addicted to makeup!! Yup, MAKEUP! I love eyeshadows, blushes, mascaras, lipsticks, lip glosses, etc.  I honestly have a collection of makeup.  My favorite brands are Urban Decay, MAC, and BH Cosmetics.  One of these days, I will share more about my makeup with you! Anyhow, last night I received my grab bag gift from a friend and he got me this awesome makeup palette from Sephora.  It has eyeshadows, lip stains and blush.  I absolutely LOVE IT!!

Training for a 5K

I've been toying around with the idea of running a 5K race for some time. I'm not much of a runner. In fact, my times are pretty pathetic. HOWEVER, I think that with time, I can learn to become a decent runner.

When I'm on the treadmill, I jog/walk/run 2.7 miles in 42 minutes. I can't jog it all the way because I tend to get quite tired but I try. I think doing this kind of workout at least 4 times per week will eventually turn me into a runner. Well, that's what I'm hoping for.

Next pay period, I'll be signing up for two races. One, this upcoming April and one in May. This is a special goal that will undeniably yield the results I desire: getting to a healthy weight.

Motivation Update...

I've decided that this weekend or maybe next, I will go buy a pretty bathing suit. One that catches my eyes and one that I envision myself wearing this summer. It's sole purpose will be to motivate me to work my booty off! ;0)
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!!!

Lazy... Lack Motivation

I haven't worked out in two days. This is such a problem of mine. I get lazy and lack the motivation to go to the gym. :/ I need to learn what to do when I start to feel this way! This feeling pretty much stinks!

Weirdest Day EVER!

I'm having one of those days in which you almost wish you never got out of bed, BUT are in essence sort of happy that you dragged yourself from under the covers!!!

Anyhow, I weighed myself this morning! The impossible occurred, either that, or my scale is BROKEN!! I weighed 140.6 pounds! Following my 1,200 calorie diet and exercising allowed me to shed the extra 3 pounds that haunted me this past few days!

I REACHED THE NUTRITIONIST'S GOAL!!! 140 pounds! I'm really excited! This means I'm 10 pounds away from my goal of 130 pounds! All of a sudden, I actually feel like I CAN DO THIS!!! I KNOW I CAN!!

Goodnight and ttyl,
