What had happened was....

I posted the last blog about me taking control.....Well what had happened was....

LUNCH

You see I had to go to the Spirit Shop at the High School - this is place where we buy all of Hailey's Flour Bluff inspired shirts, shoes, bags they have it all - So I went by and grabbed Jason on the way. We contimplated several places to go have lunch and we decided a salad sounded really good!!!


We ended up at a place called George's - this place is not a chain and not fancy by any means, but we hadn't been there so we thought what the heck. Ordered a chef salad which consisted of Lettuce, Tomatoes, Eggs, Provolone cheese, Black Olives and Ham


"What kind of dressing would you like" - Ranch please....

wait did I just say that...

So out comes this medium size salad and this LARGE BOWL of homemade ranch dressing and crackers!!! CRAP

So I ate my weight in crackers and dressing and all I can say is CRAP -

Guess I'll start tomorrow...

Thanks Aubrey!!!

I'm sick and tired of complaining about my weight loss. It's annoying...I feel so bad for Jason and Hailey; you would to if you lived with me. So I'm taking control of my own destiny.

Aubrey has inspired me to stop doing what is comfortable and get off my a** and do it for real. No more jogging on the treadmil and taking breaks if I start to pant - that's when you know you're just getting started....dang it; I know that - but for some reason after about a minute I end up dropping that 5.0 to a 3.4 and THEN I strut like a peacock showing off her feathers; proud of my accompishment.

Well I'm NOT. It's been about a year of me working out 5 days a week and I've dropped about 20 pounds. 20 pounds is great, I'm not knocking that, but I know if I would push myself I would be where I want to be.

It's not about being skinny, but it is about me feeling good about myself. I freakin live at the beach and I need to be able to say "Let's go to the beach, Let's go kayacking" and right now I can't and don't say that. I would be so much happier with myself if I would JUST DO IT!!

I'm going to do cardio 3 days a week at work and 2 days outside of work.... Pilates 2 days a week
I need a good strength training program and I'll look at my Fitness magazine for help with that.

I'll share any good stuff I find!!!!



Thanks Aubrey
