Project weight loss UPDATE!

so as of April 8th, i have officially been working at getting it off for 1 solid month (granted there were a few "free-bee vaca days in there but i dont think the fresh fish i ate really broke the bank if you know what i mean). Anyway, at one month the results are in...... drum roll please....... dananananannanananannanananannanan...hold a little bit left on the snaaaaaare.... ......12.8 big ones!

so if you look back at my plan my 1st goal was 10 lbs (and maintain that a week) and work out 7 consecutive days and i would get incentive #1- spa pedicure

so last week i made that happen and i am pleased to say my pedicure was FABULOUS......too bad i cant wear flip flops at work to show it off but at least i know underneath those close-toed tennys theres some slammin toe work and the result of HARD WORK

working out 7 consecutive days is super hard....you really really have to be aiming for something to get that going! however once i go to my pilates class this afternoon ill have 2 weeks working out everyday. my prob was when i think, working out, in my mind that means get all sweaty, work as hard as possible for at least 45 mins. at our meeting this week the Dr. pointed out the idea is not to burn yourself out, just get your heart pumping at least a little while each day....and that the exercise 7 days is not only for your physical benefit but it helps psychologically get you into the fitness mindset....cause really...if you put in the effort to work out for 30 mins it makes you think a little harder if you want to ruin it with an 8 oz soda!

so thats my thoughts for now! he said usu the first couple of weeks are the most dramatic as far as #s go so the less you have left to lose the longer it may take so i gotta just keep my head in the game and go for those incentives! next up.....new jeans!!!!

random thoughts!

sooo i dont know if its cause im really anxious about PA applications opening in a week or just feeling like im in my 20s and i should try more stuff so i dont look back and regret it, recently ive been considering very random far fetched options.......... for example

1. im REAALLLY contemplating submitting an application and what not for the open auditions for Glee (like i said..super far fetched goals here) i doubt id even get honorable mention in the cs division but i figure Why the heck not, whats the worst they can say...no...keep working on it? granted, i get super nervous singing in front of people but i do really well at things where i dont actually see an audience so maybe this video...me not seeing anyone will work out in my favor...and then if it actually did go somewhere id just have to get over myself and do it cause thatd be awesome

2. im really contemplating this "ultimate job" application. in a nutshell...the irish newspaper is accepting applications for a fun couple to get paid to travel to destination wedding and honeymoon spots and blog/rate them for 6 months. it would start in may end in nov. just in time for thanksgiving and potential PA interviews! again, crazy far fetched and like a million people have sent in submissions (cause its the best gig ever right?) but i figure whats the harm in it?

3.third and crazily, im actually being successful in this weight loss thing enough that i might contemplate buying a bikini this year.....whoa!

and now instead of preping some PA stuff im going to sketch a little and think of some project i can do on my Cricut......... what a creative, day-dreamy day!!! just thought id indulge you with my crazy considerations of the day!

also, speaking of crazy.......so on my way to work this morning i noticed a spider on my windshield (outside of course for sanity sake). instead of just thinking, eww gross get it off somehow my mind wondered into..... i feel bad, im prob taking this dude away from his family, by the time ill get to work hell be 5 miles from his family and itll take him like 2 weeks to travel back...theyll think hes dead and move the web. i wonder if i should brush him off with the wipers to let him go incase he doesnt realize. well just as soon as this elaborate childrens tale is playing in my head he magically lifts a leg as if to say "have a good work day" and the wind picks him up and off into the grass not 1/2 mile from my place.....its like we were on the same page! so yes, crazy and poss sleep deprived but i thought it was a funny enough story to share.....that im crazy and the science part hasnt completely devoured my imagination! :)

new week!

so last week went slowly but overall was good! ready for a good week...i am motivated, im determined to be in a good mood and enjoy the perks of each day as much as possible....and i got to start the week off with FREE Christophers (this really fance* resturant in C.S.) thank you Crestor! so thats the start of it...the 8th will be a technical month since starting the diet so i will give you an update on my progress then...... :)

thats it for now!
