The biggest loser

I came in third place in the biggest loser contest. Not bad, wish I could have done better. I kind of slacked off. At least it has gotten me started in the right direction. I did lose 14.8 pounds.
I'm still loving the gym. If I could only get Max to love it too. They always have to come and get me. The poor little guy. Hopefully, he will start to enjoy it. It dose feel good to be wanted. :) Max has had a cold so I've had to go whenever Shaun gets home from work. This makes it more difficult to make it to the gym everyday. I still try to go whenever I can. I'm always happier when I go.
I was thinking this might be a good time to join one of the fitness/aerobic classes. Because Max doesn't seem to last very long in the child watch. He can come and rescue me from my class. ;) Then I would have an excuse to leave instead of wimping out on my own. :) That might work out.

YMCA

I did it! I joined a gym. The YMCA right by my house. Today was my first day. I loved it! They have child watch for up to 2 hours a day. I got to work out while Max played. It felt so good. I don't know why I have not done this sooner.
They have an out door track. It felt good to walk outside while listening to music on my ipod. Then I decided I would hit the weight machines. They always seem so intimidating. I have no idea how to use them. The fear of looking like a total dufus had me a little hesitant.
I had nothing to be worried about. The machines were great. Very easy to handle and I just went from one to the next. Working every muscle in my body. oh yeah!
When I was done and went to get Max. He was screaming. When I checked on him earlier he was doing great. They said he just stared crying. I was glad to rescue him. I think he had a lot of fun. It was probably a little too long of a time for the first time going. It was also close to nap time.
It felt so good to work out and work on me. :) release stress and get endorphins. I'll see you tomorrow weight machines. You don't scare me anymore!
Now I have to try and master the aerobic/fitness classes. Not anytime soon. I think I would pass out the first 10 minutes of class.

The biggest loser

I've been failing and I hate it. I can't seem to get myself back into my fitness goals. I feel so tired all the time. Everyday I say I'm going to get back into working out and eating well. It's just not happening.
Once I've eaten one cookie or treat. I think I've failed today so why not just go all out and eat even worse. I mean, Really bad. I must get back on track. I want to feel good. I want to be healthy. I want to make exercise and eating right a life long goal. Not just to lose weight.
I have to find a happy medium. I'm either eating really healthy and working out, Or I'm eating anything and everything in sight.
I must get back on track. I want to feel good. I need to go to the doctor. Something is off. I'm just too weak and tired all the time. It's not normal. I want to check and make sure my levels are where they should be. I want to feel good! Things have got to change. I can do this!!

The BIGGEST loser

I'm the BIGGEST loser! I hope. Why would I possibly want to be the BIGGEST loser? Because I'm in a competition with some friends to see who can lose the most weight.
This is the push I need to get myself healthier and in shape. There is 7 of us in the competition. We started the competition Monday, November 9th. We weighed in on a wii fit and will continue to weigh in each week on Monday. The competition will last 13 weeks. It's based on the % of weight losed.
I'm so excited to get going! Because of my Gallbladder I haven't been able to get out and work out. The first week I lost 3.3 pounds. Awesome! Tomorrow we weigh in and I'm afraid I didn't do so well because I was down from the surgery. I'm so excited to get into a work out routine tomorrow! It's going to be hard through the holidays. I love the sweets! My middle name should be Chocolate. Wish me luck!!
