Update

Hey guys! So this past week was really good. I lost 2.4 pounds. =] My points for Weight Watchers went down by 2 due to the amount of weight I have lost thus far, which I am actually okay with.. it means I am doing what I am supposed to do.

I made my exercise goal for April and actually surpassed the 10 hours. I did about 12 or 13, I'm not entirely sure. We switched gyms today. We were going to Body Xchange and just signed up at InShape. It is more money but it a much nicer facility. =]

I know there is no way I can lose 8.4 pounds in less than 2 days for when we go to Houston, and that being said I am hoping that I can at least lose 3.4 pounds by then which will be 20 pounds lost. I figure that is pretty decent and I will still keep my weight tracker at 25 since that was my inital goal and I still really want to reach that.

I am really nervous about going to Texas, it is the land of BBQ and meat for crying out loud! But John and I, and his mom, have decided to take a jump rope, resistance band, and go on a lot of walks. Plus there will be 5 little kids there for we will probably be running after them a lot.

Oh yeah, at the new gym, I also signed up for 4 trainer sessions. I will let you know how that goes. I promise, a new weigh-in video will go up on Monday. We were at Disneyland on Saturday and then running around town once we got back and we had a bunch of errands to run today and by the time I was home and able to record it, it wouldn't turn on because the battery was dead. So, I charged it but by the time it was done, it was too late. So I will record it tomorrow and put it for you.

Thanks again for all of your support, you guys are the best! Be sure to check my YouTube for beauty related videos as well as Weight Loss and Cooking tutorials. http://www.youtube.com/paintedFACEmakeup

This week..

I'm hoping that this week I will get a lot of the clutter out of my house. I have so much stuff and nowhere to put anything so it is either going to be sold (yard sale), given to good will or thrown out!!! Today I have a bunch of stuff I need to do since I was slacking the past few weeks what with being sick and not being home.. and well, just being lazy.

To Do List:
5 loads of laundry
Clean bathrooms
Prep Food
Clean Living Room
Vacuum
Dust
Clean up Bedroom
Reorganize and clean out Kitchen
Sweep and Mop Kitchen and Bathrooms
Put Christmas Boxes in Garage
Put away Camping Stuff
Make a good dent on the office


I have so much stuff to do that I don't want to but I really do need to this done. Once it is done I won't have it hanging over my head anymore and I will feel so much better. I can't wait until the garage and office are clean and I can have my makeup in there instead of in my bedroom. It is a daunting task and I feel overwhelmed but if I take it just a little bit at a time, hopefully I will be able to get through it all.

I have a couple of food prep videos that need to be edited and I need to do a weigh in video. PS - it's bad! =[

Okay.. gotta get this stuff done!

Crushed, but it's all my fault.

I just got on the scale... and I've gained 4 pounds. :(

I'm going to the gym tonight, first time in 2 1/2 weeks. I'm going to the store to get fruit and veggies and going to eat only that for the next few days until we leave for our camping trip. I feel like I have completely let myself and you guys down. But hey, I can't beat myself up too much because at least I am recognizing what is going on and I can help myself get back into gear. As long as I get back on the wagon, that is all that anyone can ask of me, and all I can ask of myself.

I made a week 2 & 3 weigh in video last night and tried to upload it but something happened with YouTube and it said there was an error so I am about to retry it. It will probably take several hours for it to upload so be patient! :)

Thanks for all of your support.

Week 3 on Weight Watchers.

So.... I recorded a video about week 2 and was going to post it but something is going on with my editing software and/or webcam and it would skip parts while just playing it back to see what needed to be edited. It was really frustrating and this isn't the first time it has happened! Well, I am buying my camcorder today and should get it in on Tuesday, so I will make a week 2 and 3 video on Tuesday when I get it.

Week 3 sucked. I didn't do anything I really supposed to. I was sick and I just didn't care. I couldn't go to the gym cuz I didn't feel good and then I didn't want to eat the stuff I should. I didn't go hog wild but at the time time, I could have done a lot better. I was really nervous when I got on the scale today, I just knew I was going to gain weight and was just praying that I stayed out of the 270s. Well I stayed out of the 270s WOOO HOO! But I also actually lost weight. I lost 1.2 pounds. I know it isn't a lot but I did a really crappy job this last week so I was happy. I am going to put my butt in high gear though so that next week will be a lot better =] Also, I lost 3.875 inches in the last 2 weeks!!!

Total weight lost: 9 pounds
Total inches lost: 9.875

The inches lost at from all over my body. =]

Thanks for all your support! You guys help me feel accountable and want to do a lot better. I promise, week 4 will be better =]

Second week on Weight Watchers/Update

Okay... I know, I know! I have been completly MIA for the past few weeks, here and on YouTube.

I've been really into the Twilight Series books, and I finished Breaking Dawn last night. It is the best one by far. I had heard it was the best but as I was reading it (in the beginning) I didn't understand what was so great about it, then it finally clicked. Right now I'm reading Midnight Sun. It is the 5th book I suppose you could say. It is Twilight from Edward's veiwpoint. It is really good. It isn't finished, someone had leaked it on the internet and Stephenie Meyer had decided that she it would be put on hold indefinately. I'm really dissapointed about that because it is an amazing book. I love the insight into the inner workings of Edward's mind. I really hope that she will someday finish it and then maybe even write the other three books from the series in his point of view as well. Especially New Moon - that would be interesting!! Anyway, you can it at www.stepheniemeyer.com It is under the Midnight Sun section and you can download it to PDF. You can't print it, unless you can hack the encryption, but you can save it to your computer and read it.

Enough about Twilight - although I could talk about it forever.

My computer had been gone for nearly 2 weeks, back to Dell, to fix some issues I was having with the keyboard, touchpad, power supply, and to fix a USB port. Well, they only fixed the USB port and the power supply. So John is calling them and telling them they need to send someone to fix this stuff - the main reason no videos have been up in the past few weeks. I was on John's computer while mine was gone but his doesn't have the same software that mine has so I couldn't make any videos. I promise though, I will try.

I'm currently getting over being sick. EWW!! I want and need to go to the gym so bad
but the last few nights especially were horrible. Today I'm feeling better so I might go, let's pray I will be able to. =]

Anyway, my second week on Weight Watchers but okay. I kind of fell off the wagon after coming back from Disneyland but I'm trying to get back on it! I'm trying to drink my water and I have no real reason to not do so other than I forget. So, I had gained 4+ pounds after Disneyland and was really devestated. I knew I would probably gain some weight but I didn't think it would be that much since in 2.5 days, we walked over 25 miles, but I did. Well on Saturday I weighed myself and I lost those 4+ pounds and an additional 1.6! I'm very pleased. 1.6 is a great weight loss period, but to lose that (Saturday to Saturday) when I had gained weight back felt really good. I knew I would lose some of the 4 pounds but didn't think I would lose all of it or even lose more than that. So total, I am down 7.8 pounds in 2 weeks - pretty good if I do say so myself!

I haven't measured myself but I think John and I have decided that we will weigh ourselves every Saturday and measure every other Saturday since it can be a bit time consuming.

Anyway, that is what is going on for now. Hopefully this week will be better. I'm not sure I'll get in my hours at the gym this month (the 12 in the ticker) but I want to get as close to that as possible.

Thanks for all your support!

First week of Weight Watchers.

So my first week on Weight Watchers was pretty successful!

I lost:
6.2 pounds
6 inches
2 off chest
2.5 off waist
.25 off calf
1.25 off hips

I was seriously in shock!


But... then we went to Disneyland. I tried to be good but it was a bit hard. So when I got back on Tuesday, I weighed myself and I had gained some weight, even with all the walking. I figured it would happen but it's okay. I'm going to the gym tonight and tomorrow and trying to burn off some serious calories and serious pounds. As long as I haven't gained back the 6.2 pounds, I will feel okay about it.

We ate all the food that we had bought and it made the transition so much easier. I kind of fell off the wagon a bit due to Disneyland but I'm getting back on it.

We are going again March 28-30 for our anniversary and I'm a little nervous. But I figure that now that I know what happened, I can try harder to prevent it. I will eat more salad, drink more water, and try to be better in general with the whole thing.

Sorry this is a late, tomorrow is my week 2 weigh in, but we were so busy this weekend and I didn't feel like getting on the computer - what with reading the Twilight Series.

I'm already on Eclipse (the 3rd book) and I started last Friday night. Also, I have watched the movie twice, last night to be exact. I just couldn't wait for John anymore. So yeah, that's what's been going on. I will post my new results tomorrow when I find out. It might be Sunday though, not sure.

Thanks for all your support everyone!

Gym in the morning

I went to the gym this morning! I did this all over body cross trainer thingy and man it kicked my butt! I wanted to quit so many times but I did a full 20 minutes and didn't give up. =] I am soooo proud of myself.

Anyway, I'm going to try to stay up today (I didn't go to sleep tonight at all) but I'm not sure if I can make it.
