wanted to do 3 miles today, I took my son with me and could only do 1.5 miles before my son begged to go inside.  I thought it was a great day for a walk but…the little one thought differently.  May try in a bit with the hubby or alone.  Regardless, I have step aerobics.

Hi,

My name is Veronica and I am a sugared down carbohydrate addict.

I go without for a while but then I binge.

I hate working out alone.

I love salads but I never have the items in stock at the house.

I have 88 days before my PT evaluations and I have 16 pounds to drop to be within my weight limits.

Today is the beginning of the journey.

I started the 100 pushup challenge.

I also started the 200 situp challenge and also created a goal of 185 miles to be completed in the 88 days.

We will see.  I’ll post daily if possible.

MY FAT JEANS ARE MY SKINNY JEANS!!  :o(

I have no idea what is going on with me…

After a very busy Fall Semester, I have manage to gain 7 pounds.  What is so frustrating is the fact that the weight seems so ready to jump back on.  I am more disappointed in myself.  I could manage my time a bit better and get myself in the gym more often.  I need to take the time and create healthy snacks to take on the road with me on my 12 hour days.  I am human.  Mistakes are made.  Enough with the pity party.  The weight gain is a temporary situation.  Here is to better choices and killer time management!

Good Luck this Year

I wake in the morning and I remind myself that I should do what tastes right and is still healthy for me.  I sure can not look to my son for advice, he strongly believes that If It Doesn’t Get All Over The Place, It Doesn’t Belong in Your Face; I guess typical kindergartener’s theory.  I begin to think that I should eat fresh today, maybe a salad definitely not something out of a box.  I really am craving some red meat…where’s the beef?  I need to stay on track and yet still have a finger linkin’ good meal.  Nothing is more disappointing than to feel like a rabbit during lunch.  My stomach begins to groan and I scream,”Have it your way!”  I need to eat and I need to eat soon.  I try to think outside the bun, better yet I’m trying to stay from all breads today.  What am I going to do?  I have not a clue…What are you eating today?

So I get up a little too late in the morning for a sit down breakfast so I grab some fruits and run out the door.  What’s for breakfast? A Plum and a Banana…I guess it could be worse, like the yummy sausage, egg, and cheese croissant that are located about 20 feet from me.  Or the anything off the Starbucks menu 10 feet from me.  Maybe I should find a new study area instead of the college cafeteria…isn’t it here that freshmans gain their 10?  Bad planning I guess.

 Wish spring break was longer.  I have a quiz, test, and homework due for just 1 class on Wednesday…wouldn’t that drive anyone to a triple shot carmel machiatto?

My goodness I really do not feel like going to the gym later today.  Maybe I will be in a better mood in a while…BUT I AM GOING regardless.

Top of the Day to everyone!!

Okay so it has been….way to long ago since I have posted anything on this site and I can see the difference in my life style.  It is kind of scary how things go back to what they were.  Now I have not really gained any weight; but I do see the muscles that I was working so hard to define slipping away.

This past week I went to GA to see my brother graduate from boot camp and all the work I see that he has endured for the past 10 weeks really made me think about all the slacking that I have been doing to myself.

Don’t get me wrong, I have been going to the gym…that is why I have not gained weight, but I have not been really been putting my heart into regaining the self I once had.  I remember like it was yesterday when I was fresh out of basic training and on my health trip.  I find it very hard to stay focused.

BUT today I SAY THAT I AM DUSTING MYSELF OFF!!!  I can not give up on myself.  I am young, smart, and I know that that mysterious sexy beast is still in me!!! :o)  I have 2 months until my 24th birthday and I am going to kick my butt into shape.  I may not be able to put on something I wore 5 years ago but I am hoping to be in a more healthier state than I was back then.

I  can not promise that I will write everyday.  But I do hope that I make it a good habit…Needless to say, this site does more for me in return than Myspace, maybe I can change my addiction.

Have a good one!

I am just completely frustrated!!  I go to the gym twice a day, four times a week, once the 5th day and still nothing.

 I have no idea what is going on.  I do the tread climber crap for 40 minutes in the morning at the gym.  I go back for an hour of weight training an the evening with a friend of mine and in the afternoons I walk with a neighbor for over 30 minutes and NOTHING. 

I don’t know what to do with myself.  I have school, a family, and I am getting really stress that I have yet to leave the 150’s.  I am really busting my ass and it feels like for absolutely nada. 

Honestly some days I just think that maybe I shouldn’t eat, or I hope that I come down with some sore throat- can’t really swallow anything- sickness, just to drop some weight.  I know that sounds quite horrible but I know that someone else out there feels the same. 

I go out with friends and I even skip on the drinks and stick to water…I feel it is all in vain.  Grrrr. I know I know it really isn’t in vain but dang it people!  Really why is that someone that isn’t really trying can catch a 24 hour bug and drop 10 pounds and me .5 pound.

I am just venting because I was hoping to be 146 today and yet I am so far away…this really sucks since i will definitely not make my goal weight by Christmas…

I am off to watch some lame movie for hw and soak in self pity…

Have a great one

After the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 , I wrote this prayer:

Dear Lord,

I come to you on bended kness, head bowed, and heart sincere.
Lord, I come to pray for answers to what has just happened here.
Was it something we did Lord that made the wrath come our way?
Did we depart from you word and this was to show us that we strayed?
Our heart aches and our souls are not at rest.  When will this end?
Will we ever get out hands on this horrible man called Osama Bin Laden.
God, if it is your will please take him from this earth.
For it will be far worse if our hands reach him first.
Our lives have been affected in an inimaginable way.
This will never leave our hearts and this memory is to stay.
I know Lord that this is to show that life can be taken fast
We now know that our stay here is temporarily and wont last.
But tell that to those who have lost ones they hold dear.
Let them know that you hear their cries and that you are near.
Give them peace and tranquility in their hearts
And let them know from their sides you will never part.
Jesus this prayer as you can see is not for me but for them
Because this is a moment where everyone needs someone, a dear friend.

In your name Jesus I pray- Amen

 After I graduated in 2002 I tried to join the Air Force; however, I refused to give away my custody of my son and didn’t join.  So in 2003 I joined the Air Force Reserves.  I didn’t join for the money, the education, or the “cool” places I will visit, I joined because that 11th day of September I promised myself that I will protect my unborn child at the time and his freedom rights.  Our gender, race, religions, and even political views may be different but we are all free to be different.  Freedom is paid through ultimate sacrifices, it is by no means FREE.  I protect my family, neighborhood, state, country, and that includes everyone here. 

Are we all exercising our freedoms?  Are we giving of ourselves, we can all gain more from giving the receiving.

Have a great one

I have 3 more pounds to shed before my next picture posting.  I can’t wait till I reach that 20 pound last.  Crazy thing is just like I couldn’t see myself get to an unhealthy weight, i can’t see myself losing the weight either.  That is why the new pic every 10 pounds helps me.  That is when I can see a difference, then all those weigh ins and measurment taking come into play.  Well hopefully YOU all will see me soon. 

Good luck to all of you, i will be working hard to drop the 3 pounds this week.  What a motivation!
