Loving Working Out

I have come to realize that I absolutely love working out. I am addicted to that after high and the stress relief. I wake up thinking about going and go to sleep thinking about going. I have never felt like this on past attempts to lose weight and it boggles my mind every time I think about why I didn't get that feeling before. I know that once I can get into good eating habits that the weight is just going to melt away and I'm going to look and feel great..I just got to be patient.

Off topic I went shopping for some sandals today! It's been warmer than normal for this time of year here and I am a flip flop or bare foot girl at heart! So I went looking around and found some great sandals by Teva. I just love them. Also got a pair of flip flops from Target that I just adore. I love owls and there's an owl design on the heel of the flip flops. I'm going to paint my nails tonight and will take pictures tomorrow and show you!

Post Workout & Photos!

A

Hey Guys! Well I had my session with the trainer and it went great! I loved the girl I worked with she was amazingly sweet and very encouraging! She pushed me as hard I could go without injuring myself and even complimented me that I was stronger then she thought I'd be and did more then she expected. I wish I had the 400 something dollars to meet with her once a month for a year! But I learned a lot and will be using what we did today to build on my workouts. 

I did have an issue when I was leaving today..nothing to do with the gym or the workout, but as I was leaving I noticed walking out someone was sitting on my husbands car.... now his car is his second love after me. It's a 2011 Mustang California Special. Any ways I politely asked the guy to get off of it and he just looked at me called me a "fat bitch" and walk away with his friends. Why do people have to be so rude and just plain ignorant? I'm glad my husband wasn't with me because he most likely would have decked the guy, but I wish I had pepper spray on my key chain....which I will have next time I go. It's sad that people act this way. Oh well his words didn't really bother me considering the guy was alot bigger than I am...

Any who! I told you about going shopping yesterday so here are some photos of the two outfits I got and...some photos to use as my before photos...really hated the ones I use to have up so going to use these ones!! Enjoy...well not really but here they are...oh and these are post workout!

I did not allow myself to "suck it in"

Snyper and Gunny are sniffing my shoes heheh

What am I looking at?

Here's the other outfit

Well that's it for now!! Good night!

SO NERVOUS!

Quick pop in bout to get ready to go meet trainer wish me luck! Will update later tonight!!!

New Clothes and a Trainer

Hey guys! I spent today all day shopping! It was wonderful been a long time since I've had a shopping day where I got to really shop. Any ways...started off the day with the hubs and our best friend Keith. We went to Academy Sports store and out to eat. After that I went with my MIL and my niece to the mall. I got to new workout outfits and a new sporty kind of purse. Oh and two tops and some flipper floppers! Then went to eat with them to lol. I had hot wings for lunch today so kept dinner light with a cesar salad no dressing and a bowl of clam chowder...not the best but not my worst either. At least I've kept to drinking only water.

Can't wait for 5pm tomorrow I'm meeting with the Fit Coach/trainer at my gym! I'm a little nervous but a lot excited at the same time...I just wish Aunt Flo wasn't visiting me this week.....oh well what's a girl to do!!

I'll post some pictures tomorrow of my new outfits and an update of my face wonder if I can tell a difference in my face yet....

BUH BYE!!!

So Happy Can Focus Now!

Okay so have had some financial issues lately but they are now taken care of so I can rest peacefully again and begin focusing on my weight loss yay!!!

That Happy Feeling

I've been struggling with depression for numerous reasons but I had thought for a while that it was a little okay a lot out of proportion for the factors behind it....like my reasons were the size of a grain of rice but my depression was the size of a semi...does that make sense?

Well I'm happy to tell you since I've began this journey my depression has gone away. I still have days of worry and I get a little depressed about some things, but those are natural worries and I'm not obsessing about them anymore...

I think working out is really the therapy I needed. After a workout I feel so...light hearted. I can do an hour of cardio and when I'm done and back in the car I find myself smiling for no apparent reason.
I can giggle again..yes GIGGLE DAMNIT!! I feel my age and not beyond it..and it's not just that I feel good physically I feel amazing mentally! Not to mention that my husband is thrilled that my libido is going back up ((laughs hysterically)). Even if I gave up on the losing weight....which I'm not going to...I'd still go workout just for this high it gives me.

Food Addiction

Man I have seriously been struggling with food...my portions are still down but I am eating way to many bad foods and I know that eventually this is going to hurt my progress no matter how much I work out. I just get to craving certain things and can't help myself. I'm not gorging myself though so that's good but I have got to find something that helps me deal with cravings otherwise I could so handle eating healthy.

Another thing that's been on my mind concerning food is how to deal with eating at my mother's and grandmother's house....my mom is pretty good about offering to alter how she is cooking to suit my weight loss needs and I haven't really approached my grandmother about it. I feel so bad about saying anything.

Okay at my mom's it's not a big deal because we don't eat to socialize there I just go down on weekends to see my family and normally end up eating dinner there. At my grandmother's though we get together every Thursday for dinner. A lot of what she cooks is fried or buttered or cheese covered and I love her food. If I don't eat enough she thinks it's cause her food isn't good or that I am sick. I know I just need to sit down and tell her that I am trying to change me life for the better and that though her food is amazingly delicious I can't eat a lot of it because I have a weight issue.

I hope one day that food is no longer an addiction but a maintenance action for me I don't want to give up all the foods I love but I do hope I won't always have to fight myself when it comes to food selections.

Gym Jitters?

So does anyone else have this issue? Do you get the gym jitters? Feel like you look like a fish out of water and your not using a piece of equipment right and everyone's laughing at you? I haven't had a bad experience I just feel weird...I defiantly get a better workout when there is less people there because I don't feel like I am being watched.

I've just been going in and doing some treadmill, elliptical, rower, and rope climbing (the seated or standing version not actually climbing), but I don't feel like this is enough even though I am going for an hour or so. I know I need to get in some weight lifting but it is so intimidating going to the "weight section" for one I have actually only once seen a female in that area and I honestly don't know where to start. I've been looking at things online but I am just at a loss honestly and don't know what to do.

OH well...just another obstacle for me to over come..no worries I'll figure it!!

Weigh In Yay!

Just a reminder!!

Hey well today was that dreaded day when I had to step up on the scale..and you know what I lost 2lbs this week. Last week's weigh in I had a 1lb gain because I had  kind of failed on my eating and wasn't working out hardly as much...so I was 192 last week and am at 190 this week. True not a 4lb lost like the first weigh in but 2lb is pretty good and is actually the recommend max to lose in a week...I can easily reach my goal as long as I loose at least 2 pounds a week..and losing one pound on hard weeks won't hurt me to bad. From this point if I lost 2lbs a week I could weight 154 but the middle of July..and my goal is only for 165 so I am not at all discouraged by this number.

I read a great article today that really put things in prospective for my weight loss and that slow really is the way to go and in the big scheme of things and my goal slow isn't really as slow as it seems. You can find that article here! I love that the author talks about the show "The Biggest Loser" since it had become one of my addictions and how you can't compare your progress to theirs because 1. they are a lot bigger then me 2. they had dietitians and trainers on site to hold them accountable 3. they are working out more in one day then I have to time for.

So I am very happy right now and can't wait for next weeks weigh in..also if I don't forget next week will also be my measuring day to see if I've lost any inches yet. Got to hit the gym hard this week wish me luck!!!

Tomorrow!!!

Tomorrow is weigh in day ahh! I'm so nervous, but that's okay. Loving my gym membership I've been every day since I got it except today because I had some family things to do and by the time I could go it was really late and my husband is at work so I'm just going to do some workouts at home tonight. So I'll update my progress tomorrow!!!

Going 2 the Gym

Hey guys! I'm still here and working it. The hubs got me a two year membership to The Rush a local gym chain. I friggin looooooove it. He got the family pack so we can both go. Tonight was our first trip there. He worked out and lifted weights with a friend he grew up with. I on the other hand did my own thing. Here's what I did for my first workout.

30 mins on elliptical doing various inclines and resistances.
10 mins rowing
5 mins seated rope climbing
15 treadmill at a 2.5-2.9 speed and 1 incline

Not bad for my first gym workout if I do say so myself. I can't wait to try one of their Zumba classes!! I'm really psyched about this weeks weigh in. I do need to watch what I eat better though I have been slacking in that department.

LATERS!!!

Back Tracked Weigh In

It's really hard for me right now to write this post. I feel like I've failed myself this week and honestly I have. I thought about the reasons  why I failed in my goals this week and I realize those are just excuses and if I'm ever going to make a body change for the healthier I have to learn to get past the issues that hindered me this week.

I could tell you that this week has been hard for me because I'm stressed about issues with money right now. I could tell you I've stuck by my promise to not go walking alone to my husband because of his scare on Sunday. I could tell you many reasons why I failed this week, but they're just excuses and like this season of "The Biggest Loser" there are going to be NO excuses and I've got to work through them.

Now I'm being pretty hard on myself....

But last week I lost an amazing 4lbs in one week going from 195 to 191. However this weeks weigh in came in at 192. True that was only ONE lb gain but  I wanted at least ONE pound loss since my goal is 6+ pounds a month. I could say well it's just a one lb flux and that's normal but once again that is another excuse. This early in my weight loss I should be losing not maintaining or fluctuating right now.

Simple fact is I haven't worked out since Sunday and I have ate fairly well but not completely. So I know what I need to do and just need to do it.

My goal for next week's weight in is 3 lbs or 189lbs. Wish me luck!!!

Lazy Day

Hey guys I'm not working out today...haven't fallen off the wagon or anything I'm just bummed about losing my phone and some other things right now and I don't really feel good. I just decided to give myself a free day to relax and rest up because I know I need to go hard the rest of this week. So Later! Stay Fit!

Can You Hear Me Now?

Hellos! Well today started out lovely.....NOT!! I got up was feeling yuck but I pushed myself to go walking any ways....wish I had stayed home. Walked for an hour; 30 mins out and 30 back.....got to my car to realize I had dropped my cell phone along the way...so walked ANOTHER HOUR trying to find it with no luck. I went home and had my sister in law who lives next door to call it in case someone had answered...no luck...she calls my hubby to let him know I'd lost it.. I always text him when I'm starting and ending a walk...needless to say he had gotten worried about me had tried to text me and this was what happened


Hubbys cell: Hey goddess whatcha doin?

My Cell: Dunno who goddess is but obviously she lost her phone finders keepers bitch bye now gotta go make some calls

So had my phone deactivated and I am without until we get paid...on top of that hubby got so worried cause he hadn't heard form me he used pto time at work to come home...he did this before his sister got a hold of him for me. Also, he through a fit and doesn't want me going walking alone anymore. However, he is going to get me an elliptical with our income taxes so I can work out at home!!! Yay!!

Well that was my day I'll share some photos later...I'm sure I'll eventually go back out walking but not until he cools down he is very protective and it freaked him out he thought something had happened to me. Love my man....

Any ways....laters and stay fit!!

Changed Blog Name

You might have noticed a change in the blog title I thought curvaceous muffin was to silly and wasn't serious enough...this journey is something that I AM SERIOUS about so wanted a title to reflect that. Hope you like!

RIP Zed

Hey guys,

I'm sorry I don't feel like talking about my walk or what I ate or any of that tonight. Right now I'm hurting. You see, my cat at my parents house who we got when I think I was 10 or 11 was killed Friday by a Pit Bull whose owner let it run free. I'll miss him he was an orange tabby with dark orange stripes and his name was Zedicus Zolzorrander....that was from a book my older brother use to tell me about he was a wizard, but we called him Zed. He was a great cat very loving and would keep mice out of Dad's garden. It's weird because a few days ago I had a nightmare that my chihuahua and dachshund Snyper and Gunny had got out of the house and were killed by wild dogs. I guess my subconscious was trying to prepare me for the news. What makes me even madder is that my Momma called the law and they said there was nothing they could do. This dog is a house dog whose owners let out from time to time...the officer didn't even want to go speak to the owner until my brother through a fit about it. I tell you what I know dogs and cats have their issues and it's a dogs nature to go after a cat but if I EVER run into said owner....well let's hope I can keep my cool because if I had been the one to find Zed I would have done something really stupid. I wish I had a picture to share but I don't...


GOOD BYE ZED I LOVE YOU BABY!!

Over 7,000 Steps

Today I took a journey....of  over 7,000 steps and it was amazing. You see I've been walking a little further each day and today when I went walking I had two new companions, a pedometer and a mp3 player. The mp3 player was a great idea it seems my walk was more charged and because I was into the music my mind wasn't on  my feet or legs starting to burn. The pedometer told me just how many steps I took which really surprised me. The trail I've been walking though goes through out our town and it is huge. The portion I walked was about 3.5 miles one way and I had to walk it back. I think that's what I love about walking I can't cheat it. I walk until I think I can't take anymore...then have to turn around and walk the same distance back. There's only one bench along the way and it's in kind of a secluded area so I wouldn't even consider stopping to rest there so this is perfect.

I didn't have my phone or camera on me but next time I'm going to take one and get a picture of this big tree. I don't know why but looking at it today (this is the first time I've gone this far on the trail) it made me think of how strong I really am and that I DO have the ability to reach my goals just as this HUGE tree  was reaching up high into the sky. I have deemed this tree my tree of inspiration. Corny...I know, but oh so true.

Sadly, that's all the workout I got today because me and my husband went out with a friend and didn't get home to late and I'm getting ready for bed. Just wanted to stop by and share my success of the day with you. Tootles!

Muffin Weighs In!! (week 1)

Ohmigosh I almost forgot today was Thursday and my weigh in day! I only weighed in I think I am going to do the measurements less often for one I am bloated because Aunt Flo stopped by this week for a visit and I don't want to play a numbers game as I've said before. Anyways on to the number WE'LL ALL WAITING TO KNOW......

I'm down 4 pounds in one week and my monthly goal is at least 6 a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a great start I am not discouraged by this number AT ALL!!! I know what I've done this past week and where I can improve so YAY ME!!!!

A New Workout?!?!?!

Hahahah so I had a new workout yesterday! I played Lumber Jill! Okay hold on let me elaborate. My uncle sales fire wood and he has a friend that has a tree removal service. Said friend calls him up and says hey I got some oak for you. Oak is a great selling wood because it burns long and hot, anyways. My uncle gets there and loads up his trailer....the logs that they give him are longer than I am tall AND 2-4 times as big around..these things are huge and heavy.  Not only this but he had like 6 trailer loads or more. I helped him with his last load on Tuesday night and then yesterday he called and asked if I could come help that he had two more loads.

So how did I help? I was the hook tender! I would jump up in the trailer climb over the logs wrap a chain around one then hook it to his tractor he'd pull it out until the forklift on his tractor could reach it then I'd rechain it to the forks or depending on the size of the log I might just roll it onto the forks. Also I was lifting out and tossing the few odd pieces that were small enough for me to lift. Then I would climb on the wood pile he was putting the logs on and retrieve the chains off the log returning to the trailer to do it another hundred times!

Needless to say it was one hell of a workout, but I'm not complaining there's something about doing work like that. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and an inner peace. It feels good to do work like that and plus it feels good to do something for a loved one. My uncle that I was helping is in cancer remission and although he does stuff like that all the time by himself I know it has to wear him out and make him sore because the type of cancer he had attacked his bones too. So I love being able to give him a hand when he needs it.

Well I got things to do and places to be later so tootles for now Muffins!!!

My Morning & My New BF

Good morning Muffins! How is everyone today? I am doing wonderful!!! I got up about 6 this morning ate an English cucumber and some baby carrots for breakfast, watched a little TV, and read a little bit. Then I had a super early lunch...think I needed some protein with breakfast I got hungry about 8:30 so made 2 small portabella mushrooms broiled with some spices and low fat cheese. After which I went walking. Now I've been going to the local walking trail or green way as it's know here, but today I decided to save gas and go walking in the neighborhood behind my house. To get to it I have to walk up a huge steep hill but that's a great thing is it not? It really got my heart pumping before I had even really started really walking. I also added 3lb hand weights to my walking so I can get some work in for my arms this way. I'm really proud of myself I'm doing a little more each day then I did the last and I really hope to see some results in the next couple of weeks. I know I've set a goal for myself of about 6 pounds a month but the more the better! I'm not going to be unrealistic but I am hoping for the best possible results as I can get.

Yesterday I also received my order from Amazon! Yay! What was it you ask? Well it was Jillian Micheals' 30 Day Shred. It's got 3 levels of twenty minute workouts. I did the first one last night and let me tell you....damn. I busted my tush and still couldn't keep up with the beginner workout and I'm sore from it today. She really encourages you not to take more then a 5 second break but there was a few times that I just couldn't do some of the exercise although they seemed super simple at first. I would take a break but I'd keep moving. She does tell you that your endurance will build until you can do the whole workout so I'm going to keep at it. I'll do level one until it it becomes easy then move on to level 2 and so forth to level 3. After that maybe I'll combined them all for one hell of a workout!! I've got two more of her dvds...well one is still on its way but they seem more advanced and I will probably not be doing them for a couple of weeks. One is No More Trouble Zones....which I tried and about died, and the one that hasn't arrived is Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism.

My New Best Friend (even if she can be a bitch)

Sweet Sweat

I really pushed it today guys! I was dripping wet after my at home workout annnnndd when I went to the walking trail this morning I did bursts of running for as long as I could. I'd start out walking get warmed up and then run for as long as I could then walk a little more and then another burst...did this for 30 MINUTES!!! That's amazing. I may not lose much weight my first weigh in (which is gonna be every Thursday) but I feel that I am building muscle where I'm not losing and that's okay because more muscle means more calories burned!!! I think I'm starting to get to the hubs though because he keeps commenting that he's going to start working out with me and he's wanting a tread mill (because he hates the outdoors lol)  We also watched three episodes of The Biggest Loser before he went into work today.

So hopefully I keep progressing and will see the numbers just shrink down quickly. I've finally set a goal for myself of 165 and below by July. That's 5 months to lose 30 pounds or six pounds a month. I think I can do this I really do!!!

Love you guys and love myself...because if I can't who can? LATERS!!!

Go Hard or Go Home

I have been working out but I realized today that I'm only pushing it until I start to get a little winded and a little sore in some areas I need to start pushing it until I can barely breath and I can barely stand for the soreness. Okay well not that much but I need to give myself just a little more push and go a little longer and a little harder....

I can go hard or I can go home!!!

FIT2BU

Why do you want to be fit? I want to get fit to be ME! I want to feel healthy,sexy, and confident in my own skin. I want to be proud of who I am and I want to set an example for others. If I can do it so can you! I'm doing it right now...are you?

Feeling Good

Hey Guys! I'm doing good so far I've been to the local walking trail on Thursday and Friday and plan on going to the one near my moms house today weather permitting! This is a happy smiling me on Friday morning. I went to the walking trail at 7:30am right when it had just gotten light outside. I think the temp was around 40ish or little lower but it was so funny because this lil old lady was out walking her dog and was bundle all up and she started fussing at me because I had on cropped yoga pants with this fleece jacket. It was cold but that motivated me to stay at a brisk walking pace...I even jogged a little....and if you knew me you'd know that is in and of itself freaking amazing. I doubt I'll keep up going every day but I'm going to try for 3-5 times a week for 30-40 mins plus I am working out at home with some cardio and a very small bit of weight lifting with 8 pound weights. 

I've also been watching what I eat and eating more frequent smaller meals and snacks. I've almost cut my caffeine I've been down to one soda or sweet tea a day....today may be the day I try to go with out any so hopefully no headaches..I can do it!! 

Okay so I also wanted to share something I made with you but first I want to explain the meaning behind it. After siting down and really thinking about it I realized that one of the obstacles that have stopped me in the past from achieving my dream of getting fit was the fact that I'm not already fit. Wait what? That doesn't make any sense....okay well to me it does. You see I have started to really open myself eyes that I do care about what other people think about me more than I wanted to believe or admit, but that's unhealthy and I'm trying to fix that. Anyways, the reason this was a problem though is because for me to really push myself...well it's not pretty I get red faced, I can't catch my breath, and it's just embarrassing to be pushing so hard for that and then out of no where here comes this oh I'm so fat even though I only weight a 100 pounds soaking wet let me work out but I'm not even going to break a sweat kind of girls. ( Not the girls that have been were I am and have over come that and are exercising to stay fit!) They look at you like your a joke and I've even heard the rude comments or the cough covered laugh before. Well this is for those kinds of girls because you know what....it's easy to be pretty when you don't have to work for it but it's sexy when you do!

So yeah there you go...moving on now.

So I'm trying to decide should I weigh in....weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly? What do you think? Any personal experiences?

Bye bye for now guys!

Okay not as bad as I felt in some places but worse in others, but this is my jumping off point and someday I'll be able to look back and go damn...I worked hard for the body!!

A lil' inspiration

Oh by the way I did take some before shots but I'm thinking I'm gonna save those for when I've got the after shots holy moly!!

Goals to Work Towards 2012

1. Be happy in my own skin.
2. Feel healthier and be more active without getting winded.
3. Feel sexier naked. Sounds egotistical but this ones for my husband he loves me how I am but I want to be who I was our first time. (been together 10 years married for 6)
4. Wear a dress...I don't wear dresses cause I think they are unflattering on my figure and make me look even bigger then what I am.
5. Grow my hair out and promise not to cut more than the tips or have it thinned. (I have very thick hair and have to thin it or the weight begins to give me headaches. Also this is not a weight loss goal just one I want to achieve I am notorious for cutting my hair off when I say I'm growing it out.)
6. Wear a two piece. Last couple of years I have worn a one piece AND swimming trunks...I want to get into a two piece!!)
7. Wear shorts that full higher then just above my knee.
8. Wear tank tops without arm jiggle.
9. Get rid of bulges on my back from my bra.
10. Get my D-cup babies up where they should be on a twenty something I don't even care if they go down a cup or two if their firm and perkier again...heck I was a D even when I was 14 so yeah I doubt they'll shrink.
11. Get some hooker boots! My calves are very muscular for some reason and it is hard to find boots I'm hoping that with losing weight and toning that they may become more slender.
12. October is my 7 year wedding anniversary we eloped so I want to have professional wedding photos taken to celebrate since we don't have any. I want to be able to wear a dress because its the one I want not because it's the one that makes me look the least big.
13. Cook healthier. This one should help me to reach my other goals.
14. I want to hear cat calls again. Not that I'm looking for someone because I'm not but because it makes me feel good. For all you girls out there that get annoyed by it...well at least your being noticed for being beautiful.
15. If I reach my goal weight I want to get a new tattoo I have been wanting but haven't got because the placement is not ideal if your overly curvy. (Forever, Always, and Eternally on my rib cage underneath my left breast...my husband use to always end notes,texts, emails, and even phone calls with that saying.
