Less Then Needed

As of today I have lost another 4 lbs. I haven't been blogging and probably won't to much, not that exciting to me anymore. Just going to post milestones and such.

Yum Yum

I had a Pumpkin Bar and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm not going to 100% starve myself of the good that I love. I figure that one small bar wasn't going hurt me. I'm still doing my sit ups and push ups, and I will add something else next Sunday (Which will also be my second item weighing myself since I started this) This is going to be a very short one tonight, I'm tired and work early in the morning. Just know I am still completely commited to this :) Alright have a good night! Let's Get Physical! :)

Kickin my ass

Work is kickin my ass! I was way to tired last night after working 1-10 and I missed exercising and blogging :( But I did enough movement yesterday that I am sure it won't effect it too much. Had to go out and get food today after work (Another rigorous type of work out that makes em sore haha) so I now have a bunch more lean cuisines. They are pretty much amazing. So I did it, last night was the first night I had had Burger King since I started. I didn't get a drink, just stuck with my tea. I did get a Double Cheeseburger w/ Ketchup n Mustard and an order of Mozzarella sticks and it WAS SOOOO GOOD haha. I've decided that here is no way I can completely cut that out of my life, but I will only have it maybe once a month now compared to the every day I was having it before starting this. Needless to say I think the diet is going well. I don't weigh myself tomorrow but next Sunday and I am hoping I will see more progress! Alright well I am off for the night, have a good one. Let's Get Physical! :)

Looking back

That's what I want from this. I want to be able to look back and see what I was thinking, when I was thinking it and why I was thinking it. This really is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes I just sit here and I think "I could go get Burger King right now" but I don't. I fight my urges because I honestly want to see myself get fit. I want to be comfortable to take my shirt off around others. I want to be able to attract the people that attract me. It really is vain, but I want it and there is no denying that. One thing I need to learn is that I cannot starve myself. I want to have some of the foods I like even if they aren't the most healthy. There are plenty of people out there in the world that are incredibly fit and still enjoy some junk food every once in awhile. That is why I have decided that on my cheat day I am going to get that Burger King because with the amount of work I have been doing I honestly think I deserve it. I think this first month and a half is really about getting used to the idea of living a healthier lifestyle. When it comes down to 3 months left I will be really hitting it hard. I always see things done within 3 months, 12 weeks. I figure that is a healthy time to do what I want in without injuring myself. As you can see I have really been thinking about this a lot. It really is imortant to me. Alright well I am off to watch my show, have a good night. Let's Get Physical! :)

Yawn

Tonight is going to be very quick, I am extremely tired and want sleep haha. I've done my sit ups today and after I did them I decided to do 20 push ups. I think if I start working on arm strength it will really help me tone the rest of my body in the long run. Not to mention I would love to do one real pull up haha. Alright well I am off to bed, soooo tired lol. Have a good night! Let's Get Physical!

Let's Go Shopping!

Alright so day 16 I believe and I am starving lol. I really need to go shopping and get more food. My father decided to eat half of the healthy stuff I bought leaving me nothing to have now. I'm still doing my sit ups and walking. I am extremely tired right now to say the least. This will definently be a quick one. I've really been wondering lately if I will be able to reach a goal of being fit by my birthday. I mean ,I have over 3 and a half months to do it, but am I going to be able to keep up with the will power? I had a tiny pumpkin bar today, not diet at all but I was really craving something sweet and I know that a tiny indulgence won't hurt. I really want Burger King. Like REALLY want it lol. I think I am going to have it on my cheat day. It sounds so incredibly good. Anyways, I'm off to relax. Have a good night! Let's Get Physical! :)

Chica Bomb

Kay so last night as lame, when I tried to do my blog it wouldn't let me! Oh well, twice the info. Alright you ready for it?...........I've lost 5.5 lbs!!! Ahh I'm super happy :) It's nice to know that what I am doing actually seems to be working. I still haven't managed to run lately, not really sure why. I am going to start taking 30 minute walks every day in place until I get he strive to run again. Not only has this all happened but a friend of mine has asked me to find a house with him and his girlfriend! I'm incredibly excited about this. It is good to not only get my body healthy but my life and mind. I have found a great song to work out to, it is called "Chica Bomb" by Dan Balan. He's the guy from O-zone who did that old popular song Dragostai Din Tei (The numa numa song). Needless to say I am feeling happy and confident about what I am doing. Slowly but sure I will be moving towards a much happier and healthier life :) Alright well I am going to enjoy the rest of my night. You all have a good one! Let's Get Physical! :)

Nervous

So I am nervous. Tomorrow will be the first time I have weighed myself since this whole thing started. I'm afraid I won't see any results at all. I told myself it wasn't important to see results but in my mind I just want to know the work I am putting forth is actually working somehow. The real big goal is to be fit by my birthday though. I am going to start running again tomorrow. Now that I am fully recovered from being ill I think things should go a lot more smoothly. Well it is late and I have a few more things to do before my day ends, have a good night. Let's Get Physical! :)

I Just Want More

I'm not really sure at the moment which day it is, but its a day :P I need to start finding myself a wider variety of foods to eat. I will admit that I am starting to get a little discouraged because I am honestly starting to miss the foods that I loved so much. Today was the first day that I've done sit ups in a couple of days because I finally feel better. I'm going to start my running again on sunday. That also happens to be the day that I am going to weigh myself but I honestly do not expect to have lost anything. It's been a little tough lately with my work schedule for me to eat normally. Some days I don't get off of work until 10 and I can't eat till late. You know what I really miss? Burger King. A Double Cheeseburger without Pickles, cheese sticks and a dr pepper! Sounds so incredibly good. But I have to stay strong, it's so important to me that I get healthy and fit, and I really think i can do it this time. I am going to get my Wii Interactive exercise game back from my sister soon. That is definently a good work out that will really help me. Alright well I'm going to go enjoy the rest of my night and I will see you all tomorrow(if there is anyone out there) Have a good evening. Let's Get Physical! :)

Breathe In

And were back, sadly I missed yesterdays post because I was so incredibly sick that I Just laid in bed and slept all day. I haven't exercised in a few days which sucks, but I've still been eating healthy. I'm thinking of trying this "Beach diet" my mom told me about with some Doctor oz or something...Idk I'm probably going to go running again tomorrow morning. Oh fun story, my arms are incredibly sun burnt :( Anyways. this is going to be another short one, I'm tired and it's late. Have a good night! Let's Get Physical! :)

Cough Cough

Yes, day 9(exactly 4 months left till the deadline) and I'm sick as a dog. I haven't really been able to exercise today expect for the 6 hours of standing at work. I ache, I cough, I sneeze. But I still have been eating healthy. I went to the store after work real fast and bought 14 lean cuisines lol. I figure my calorie intake is around 1500 a day which has to be like half what it was 2 weeks ago lol. Once I get better I'll get back to running(my legs still kinda hurt) and sit ups. It sucks that I had to get sick so early in the game, but that's life for ya. Well this is a short one today, I'm going to go lay down and try to feel better. Let's Get Physical(and Healthy xD) :)

Day 8, and I'm getting sick :(. But I still got out today since it is Memorial Day. I went swimming again for a couple hours with my friends, I did not run this morning because my legs are killing me from yesterdays run. I can barely walk up and down the stairs lol. I gotta go at this slowly or I am only going to damage my body. Tomorrow I have to go to the store to get some more Lean Cuisine. I am in love with the Pizza and Chicken Club from them. The Mac n Cheese really isn't that good. Not enough cheesy taste to it. I hope I'm not going to get too sick because that will just ruin my week for work out, but I guess I won't eat toooo much considering I don't eat much when I'm sick. Oh well. Gonna enjoy the rest of my night and relax, I am incredibly tired. You all have a good evening. Let's Get Physical! :)

Lucky Number 7

That's right, Day 7, Week 1. And today was a good day :) I woke up at 7, had 2 eggs at 7:30 and ran at 8. First time I've really fun in yeeeears. Was tough, but I'm happy I did it. Was completely wiped out for like 2 hours after it haha. I can feel my legs already getting sore. I'm probably just gonna have to go on a fast walk tomorrow if they are too sore, but if I can I will def try to run. I'm not going to do my first weigh till next Sunday, every 2 weeks. I also went swimming today. I think I am going to start doing that more often, it should really help. I'm excited that I have been able to do this for a week and can't wait to see how everything is going to turn out in the end :) Alright well off to enjoy the rest of my night before waking up for another great day tomorrow. Goodnight! Let's Get Physical!

Confidently Content

Wow Day 6 already? I feel like this is flying by! I'm incredibly confident with how things are turning out. I'm eating better, I'm exercising and I just feel all around better :) Today was definitely a crazy day, I had to work a long 9 hour shift but that is fine because it's burning calories on my feet. It's incredibly hot here and I had to go do stuff outside 3 times for about 10-20 minutes each today so I was sweating and walking/running/pulling heavy objects a lot. I think that will definitely help with extra burned calories :) I've been doing a lot of research just to learn things about getting healthy and how bodies work. Did you know that you don't do sit-ups to burn calories? They are meant to build muscle which in turn burns more calories then fat? Anyways, I went to the store today and bought a bunch of healthy foods, running shoes and the occasional Sex and the City DVD Haha. I figured it would be good to reward myself :) I also found some small healthy deserts in the frozen section called "Smart Ones", they look good :) Alright well I'm going to go enjoy the rest of my night before I go to bed. You know what tomorrow is? Sunday! And that means I add to my exercise routine! I'll be doing 30 sit ups TWICE a day instead of once, and I will start my running! Can't wait to tell you how all that goes! Cya tomorrow! Let's Get Physical! :)

I'm A Cheater

Haha but that's okay. I've decided Friday nights are my cheat nights. But I didn't go too extreme, I went to a place I know called Ricelli's and I ordered stake with onion rings, a baked potatoe and an AMAZING italian salad. It was well deserved. At first I didn't feel like I deserved to cheat yet but you know, I've been doing good so I wanted to reward myself. Did my "work out" today, I can't tell if they are getting easier or not. So I went to go buy shoes to start running Sunday and they were ALL out! I'm sad, so now I have to go find shoes ASAP tomorrow. Alright well I'm gonna go enjoy the rest of my night of relaxation, long day of work tomorrow. Standing for 8 hours! But hey, that's calories burned! Have a good night! Oh and Let's Get Physical! :)

Let's Get Glam

Day 4, and what a day it was. Nothing really special except that I forgot to bring my granola snack to work! I think I am going to make a schedule of when I want to eat so that I can stick to something instead of randomly snacking on healthier foods. I think when I work 9-5 it might be easier beacuse it sets up times where I can and can't eat. I can really start to feel something in my stomach after I do my sit ups so I'm pretty excited! I've decided Friday's are the day I get to splurge a little but but I don't think I am going to splurge tomorrow since I didn't really start this until monday and that just feels to soon to me. Maybe I will though, still undecided. By the way, I found a song I love excersizing to! It's called "Glam" By Christina Aguilera. I wanna be glam! Haha anyways I'm still optomistic that this is going to work out for me :) Well that is all for today, until tomorrow.... Let's Get Physical! :)

Wter Water Water

Day 3 :) So today I woke up and ate a granola bar + 2 eggs and a lipton green tea citrus for breakfast. It was pretty good, but I accidentally got the normal tea and not diet, oh well, I still know that I will be fine in the long run. Today was the first day of my diet that I went to work, I just had a granola for my snack 3 hours in, and was starving when I got home haha. When I got home I ate a salad with wine vinaigrette dressing and shredded baked chicken that I made a few nights ago. It was absolutely delicious, and as the night goes by Every couple of hours I snack on a granola or 90 calorie cereal bar. Most importantly, I have been drinking A TON OF WATER. I'm in the restroom like every 30 minutes lol. I did my normal 30 sit ups today, when I finished I could definitely feel something going on. I'm excited to see the results in the end of this. Next sunay I will up it to 60 a day and I will start running. I'm feeling pretty confident. Well, that's all for today, see you all tomorrow. OH and remember, Let's Get Physical :)

I'm huuungry

Well here we are, day 2 of 130. Today for me was more about getting the feel of how exactly I want things to go. I'm starting out just doing 30 sit ups a day to get my body going. Yeah it isn't a lot, but that is more physical activity then I usually do haha. I went out to the store and bought some healthy snacks and 100 calorie packs so I have something to snack on whenever I get hungry. I also discovered diet lipton green tea - citrus flavored. It is soooo good. This is definently not going to be easy but I am hoping that I can do this. I think I can :) Every week I'm going to add a new excessive to my daily routine. Next Sunday will be running :) I know this is going to be a long hard process so I hope that I don't start expecting immediate results. I'm hoping this really does work out for me. If anyone out there reads this and finds themselves in the same situation know that I'm here to hopefully inspire :) Alright well I'll be back tomorrow, have a good evening. Let's Get Physical :)

Cody and Codia?

Haha okay so. I've decided to channel my inner Julia & Julia and write a blog about my getting fit and healthy. I figure that maybe if I document what I am doing it will help along the way. Today is May 24th 2010. I am setting a goal not to lose weight, but to tighten up and be more healthy. I did however check my weight as an idea of how my body does. As of today I weigh 174 lbs. I will be exercising, dieting and toning myself. October 1st, 2010 will be my 20th birthday and that is the day I unveil my final results posted with before and after pictures(which the before will not be seen until then). I don't honestly expect to many people to follow this, if anyone but if you do I'll be updating daily with meals, what I did to work and and just my thoughts about how the process is going. This is important to me just for a healthier lifestyle. So with that all I have to say is, Let's Get Physical :)
