Well, Get the bum kicks out of the way now. I know I’ve been a sucky buddy.And I’ve not only fallen off the wagon, but I’ve gotten run over by it, and left behind.

But now for the good news. I was given a very generous xmas gift that will allow me to afford the gym for a little while!! Also my hubby has a friend at work that might be able to get me 30% off!

Now as some of you know, I don’t get…. well any time away from my 2 year old. Don’t get me wrong, I love her to pieces. But 24/7 /365 can be a little too much sometimes.  I have found a program for my daughter to attend while I workout!! So now she will learn that its ok that we spend some time apart, and I can have some me time.

I dont want this to be one of those “IN 2010 IM GOING TO LOSE ALL THIS WEIGHT”. I know for a fact that I will still have ups and downs.  And Im starting this at this time because of my grandmas gift.

My only real resolution is to be happier. To love my husband more. And play with my daughter more. To feel more awake, and alive. And I hope that working out will help this along.

To my former team mates, I have let you down, and I apologise for that. I hope that you will let me back on the team when I ask. But first I want to get a little head start. And when I’m comfortable, I will ask!

You guys are the best. Always there. Merry Christmas. And Good luck in the new year!

As some of you know, last year I moved across the country. Just me, my hubby and my daughter (who was 7 months at the time).

After 4 months I finally found a friend. She had 2 kids. And for the past year we have talked almost everyday, we have been there for eachother through some hard times, and had alot of fun times.

On october 24, we were supposed to have my daughters 2nd birthday party, but my husband and i got into a really bad fight the night before, and i cancelled it.

I looked to her for… i dont know just to vent. And she said what do say? I wanted her to be honest. And she said “its horrible that a beautiful little girls birthday was ruined by her parents fighting, but theres nothing that can be done about it.”

I appreciated her honesty.

A week later she came by to give grace her gift. She spent a couple hours over and then went home. Now nothing has been the same.

She only talks to me if I message her. She says she just really busy. But that never stopped her before.

Lots of people have just not wanted to be friends with me before. Im just not a friends forever kind of person I guess.

Now Im totally alone. Im alone, fat, stupid, and pretty sure im a bad mother too.

Im just so tired. I have no one to talk to. My husband is too tired from work to really listen. I have no family. Im just so fucking lost.

thats it, thanks for listening

hey hey hey all!

Well I didnt get to work out until 7 tonight, but hey, i got it in!!!

Ok so here it is, me and my hubby (common law) have been together for 3 years now. We have a beauutiful 2 year old.

We are both on a weight loss journey (he is almost 300 lbs). Now I have not really lost my sex drive at all, you know, Im not ashamed of my body really. But him, he says he is embarassed about his weight and how it affects his preformance.

Im understanding about that totally, but hurts me is that he can….. um…. take care of him self atleast 3 times a week.

Am I totally wrong for thinking this isnt right? I mean I know everyone does it… I know! But if he is comfortable doing it himself, why is he uncomfortable with me?????

ok you all are probally closing my blog now lol!! I promise tomorrow no sex talk

Until next time!

I know I know I know……i fell off the wagon.

And it sucks, but honestly there is nothing I can do to change what happened. All I can do is choose what happens next.

So there will be no beating myself up about it. Tomorrow is a new day. And really I will start over 1 billion times, as long as I never truly give up!!

Until tomorrow!

Hey hey!

Well Its going great! This week I lost………Wait for it……………… 2.5 Pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woot woot…. Finally contributing for my team… Go Natural Elements!!!!!

Workout was great today. But shesh my back is KILLING me!!! Took some advil.

Anyways tomorrow is day 4……….yay!!

Until tomorrow!

hey there…

Damnit…. I missed a day of working out… and im eating an icecream bar. BUT, i did turn down 2 pop offers, and I think i got a good workout trying to put my nephew in his car seat.

Now this boy is not like any child you have seen before, he actually is stronger then most 6-7 year olds. And he was doing the stiff body thing. So I imagine pushing his body to try to get him strapped in for 20 mintues (yes 20 mintues) was like doing some kind of excersise…. must have burned some calories lol.

So tomorrow is weight in day….. fingers crossed to lose atleast .5 pounds!!!

Till tomorrow!

Hey!!

Well Today was a shedualed rest day ( the wii does it every two days) But I know if I miss one day I will miss more.

So this is a custom workout through the game. Mostly cardio.

Hi there!

So you might be wondering why I have opted for a video game “trainer”. Well I dont drive, and altho I can see the gym from my house… do any of you know ALBERTA WEATHER?!?!?!?!!?! lol, plus for $60 theres no harm in giving it a try.

Another big reason is, yes you know what I could cheat and trick the game…. but really who am I hurting in doing this? This gives me a chance to really work my will power. Also I have had a personal trainer before, and I did lose weight…. but I was made to feel EXTREMLY over weight and unfit (I know I am who are you to tell me) And also the guy liked to remind me how fit people only wanted fit people, and if I ever wanted a chance I better get moving. Not my cup of tea Ill tell yea that much. I know he was doing his job, trying to make me work even harder….. but thats not how I roll…. no matter what Im doing (cleaning, changing a poopy diaper, or working out) I want to feel like Im having fun!!

So heres my work out for today!!

Now let me explain a couple things for you.

You may have noticed that there are doubles…. think of it as circut training… I do 2 sets ( or more)

When it says things like today ” Run, High Knees, Kick Ups” that is intervel training. I do .25 miles of each, until I hit the target ( usually 1.5-3 miles)

And when I metion easy, medium and hard…for walking and running, that is to do with the distance I am doing it!!

Also All bicep curls, presses and those sort of excersies are done with a resistance band

______________________________________________________

Well I truly hope I am helping someone, anyone….. but I am happy with just helping myself!

until next time!!!!!!!!!!
