The Treadmill!!!!!

Wow! I should be ashamed that I haven't blogged at all since my very first post!! But in my defense life outside of the internet comes first! So a quick catch-up is in order.

1. Broke my phone :(
2. Had insomnia :(
3. Twisted my foot :(
4.Tried to work anyway :)
5. Screwed it up more :(
6. Rested for two days in my room :(
7. Boyfriends truck was broken into at my house :(
8. Got my phone back :)
9. Truck fixed for less than we thought :)
10. Pick up the TREADMILL! :) :)

During this time however I have been keeping up with my core workouts every morning and I have been pushing my self to go more reps and sets!! I got a comment yesterday from a co-worker that I was looking thinner :) YAY! I really need the results to stay motivated! I have made some not so healthy choices in foods as of late but I do keep my quantity down. I gave into a brownie yesterday but only one bite!!!

So the so long and anticipated treadmill has arrived! And today will be my first day on it! I plan to start off slow and build up from there! I'm more of a fast walker than a runner :) Well I better go hop on it then! Until next time...

Day 1 thru Day 19 - An overview...

A quick overview... Back in December when I was stuffing my face with sweets I came up with a great idea for a kind of new years resolution. Since I do not usually follow through on my resolutions I decided to bet my roommate. The terms are: 2months, 10lbs, $10. After telling my co-workers of my plan, they wanted to get in on the deal. So I made another wager terms are: 3 months... whoever reaches or is closest to there ultimate goal wins.

It's time to make this happen!! I started my bet with my roommate on January 1st. I weighed in at 159.7 ( can't believe I am sharing this). So my goal in this bet, is to reach 149.7 by the end of February. Since the bet...I have been limiting my portions, make better choices in foods to eat and working on building my core, through crunches and floor exercises.

Now that this new bet has started with my co-workers I plan to step up my game. Here I come Yoga and hopefully will be getting a treadmill soon. My ultimate goal (whether it is attainable in three months i don't know) is to be around 135lbs with strength and stamina.

Onward I go...busy day today too!! I have a photo shoot this afternoon hope the weather holds up for me!! I planned a location with lots of walking...lol I will be sneaking in lots of extra activity anywhere I can!!!

Well until next time....
