The Gym

I have been pretty good about getting up at 4:50 and going to the gym. I am very happy with my results so far. I can see my rolls slowly going away. I am also enjoying doing cardio. I miss running, but can never find time to do it. I love that I can go the the gym now and just jump on the treadmill or the elliptical. I have lost about 5lbs so far.

I have been watching my intake too. I only eat 1300 calories a day. A weigh protein shake for breakfast, and protein bar for lunch and dinner. I have noticed a huge difference in my appetite since I started eating less. I love that I am getting full faster and eating less. Woo hoo, I am actually looking forward to swimsuit season if this keeps up. :)

I can't do it any more!

I have decided again that enough is enough! I hate the extra lbs I am carrying around my middle. I am limited on what clothes I can wear, and I am tired of squeezing into my jeans. I am going to get a gym membership with my tax return money. I am going with Cori Gould tomorrow at 5 am for a work out group. I am actually excited, she goes every Mon. Wed. and Fri. and 5 am is the only time that works into my schedule. Plus If I get accepted into the Park Ranger or Game Warden Academy they will kick my butt if I am not in shape coming in.

I am also deathly afraid of swimsuit season. Right now I don't want anyone to see me in a swimsuit.
I really like the fact that Cori will be there. I hate to do most things on my own and need someone I know there or I won't go! Oh and the fact that it is at 5 am might make me go to bed earlier. Wish me luck!

And no more happiness

A few weeks ago (more like months) I was talking to Shiloh's friend Kate about herbal remedies. She was telling me about how all of my sinus issues could be related to dairy. She urged me to go off of dairy and see what happens. At this point I am up for anything. I hate not being able to smell! I haven't gone off of dairy yet but I will. The logistics just don't work right now, living at my parents house, and I don't exactly have the money to eat more expensive foods right now. All this talk about going off of dairy made me think of Brian Regan the comedian. He is very funny and talks about the Dr. telling him to go off dairy. You have to check it out it's too funny. But I know how he feels. I am sure it will be worth it. (Soy Ice Cream hear I come)

Not doing so great

I am really having a hard time going to school and eating like a normal human being. I have gained back 2 1/2 lbs. Which sucks. I need to get my head back in the game. Then again when I do drink the correct amount of water every day I have to use the rest room ever hour. I bet my teachers would hate that. Also how do I carry around that much water? Any suggestions? I need all the help I can get.

I am also changing my weigh in day to Thursdays. That is my only day off throughout the week.
