Its finally going away!

I weight myself this morning and I was at 193.5! YAY!! So glad to see some fat disappear! :D

I am still struggling, just about everyday, with my food but I'm getting there. I'm actually rotating between the gym and doing Rockin' Body. For those that are unfamiliar with Rockin' Body, its kind of like dance aerobics. Shaun T., the same guy that does Insanity, is the instructor in this DVD set. I think its really fun and after about a week you can start to see sutble differences in your body because it builds muscle while burning calories. If you're interested then click here for more information about the set.

No pics, because I'm lazy. Plus pics make me look fat. ;)

Literally 2-3 Months Ago...

I have to gripe really quick... ok, here goes... Ahem, literally 2 or 3 months ago I could do the ab machine at the gym at 80lbs resistance and I had no problem going all the way down with the machine, but today I tried it and I failed! My FAT kept me from being able to bend over enough. Soooo frustrating! AND I'm still having trouble with the calories... mostly thanks to my parents for inviting me to go out to eat with them and my weakness. Ugh, MUST KEEP PUSHING!!

So Hard!

Have I ever said how hard it was to count calories?? Oh my gosh, it's freakin hard! I want food!! I don't mind the exercising as much as I do watching what I eat. Most of my favorite meals are like my whole day worth of calories. In my ideal world the stuff that tastes good like hot wings and ice cream would be healthy, but alas, no such luck.

I have discovered that I can actually tolerate some food that, in the past, I have turned my nose up at. For instance, brussel sprouts, I used to refuse to touch them. They smelled like farts and I wasn't into eating farts. My friend made them for dinner the other night and I decided to grow a pair and try them. To my surprise they weren't bad! I had to douse them in salt and pepper, but they were kinds reminiscent  of brocolli (which I like). I guess on my next venture to the grocery store I will buy some.

Another hard thing: cooking for one... I have a ton of healthy recipes from the Cooking Light website that I would love to try, but I don't try them often for the pure fact that I don't want to eat the same thing for like 5 days straight. So looks like a Smart Ones most of the time for me.... and LOTS of fruit!
