Happy Birthday Renee and Dave

My BFF Renee's B-day was yesterday and My brother Dave's is today. Have a Great Birthday. Oh BTW, this is your gift. Be Happy.

A New You (Me) Week 3

I LOST 5 MORE LBS.! I am now down to 208lbs. only 23 more pounds to go for my goal weight of 185. I should be slowing down each week in weight loss as my metabolism stabilizes. But I should be wearing a size 36 soon! New clothes shopping, here I come!

Now for the bitch of a workout that my hot trainer who is turning into Satan put us through. It is a 1,000 rep workout. Basically I have 10 exercises that I have 100 reps each. SUCKS!!!! I am sooooo sore this morning. Squats, crunches, leg lifts.... OMG, I think I am going to die. How the hell am I going to deliver papers today and tomorrow? Slowly, that's how. I think Cory thinks we are all 25y/o hotties who can take it. We are all late 30's, early 40 somethings who are out of shape and not used to working out. But it is working.

I am now allowed to eat lean red meat twice a week (Praise Jesus!), and any kind of fruit I want. Still no bread or beer. Although I did have two Michelob Ultra's this weekend (the carb free beer), it is actually very good. I did lose 5 lbs. A couple of those shouldn't hurt me, just don't tell Cory (I've been bad, spank me!)

2 girls 1 cup = NASTINESS

OMG!!! I just watched about 30 secs of the infamous video 2 Girls 1 Cup. I am telling you before you watch it, that it is the nastiest, grossest thing I have ever seen! I nearly threw up after just a few moments of viewing it. Basically, I will never eat chocolate ice cream again without thinking about it. EEeeewww! If you have seen it let me know what you thought of it.

Hot trainer update

All the dieting, working out, and overall misery I have put myself through this past week is paying off. I lost 11 lbs. I am a svelt 213lbs. down from 224 last week. SWEET! Tonight the Phat Boyz met and we did a cardioboxing workout. Don't mess with me girls, I learned boxing tonight. It's sorta fun to hit something and get some aggression out. I still suck at pushups. I was getting told all night not to let my belly touch the floor. Right. Easy for hot trainer guy to do that, he has a 6-pack and huge arms. I am fat and old, pushups are not easy.

Some good news on the diet front. I am now allowed limited carbs and occasional sweets. The bad news is no red meat at all. Bummer. But I can pick three things I like to eat and put them in my diet. Tonight we had multi-grain pasta with ground chicken and salad. I am going to have a turkey sammy for lunch one day, and maybe... god forbid... a bowl of cereal. As for sweets, with Christmas season here I am too use the same rule for the party on Saturday. Pick 3 things, and that's it. So I'll be picking wisely. More good news, I can drink alcohol as long as it is mixed with a juice. I think I am going to bring vodka and cranberry.

Anyway, thanks for all your support. I am well on my way to losing 40+lbs. My goal weight is 185. I'll keep you updated.
