Food:

Did a little better today, but I still need to find a steady meal plan. I didn't get near the nutrients I need but I stayed full all day and didn't need to snack! And yes, I had a dadgum dinner roll :(

*Just realized I forgot to put my sunflower seeds in there, but it wasn't many!*

Day 2 - Buckle my shoe?

Yeah...there is a taste of my random :) How'd you like that?!

So today has been a little hard, I can't even lie right now!

I gave up restaurant breakfast for Lent (which also helps my diet) and a vendor brought a BUNCH of Oscar's burritos today. I just wanted to give up right there but when I thought about my faith and my goals, I was able to abstain. Good ol' will power muscles are getting stronger!

Now, if that wasn't enough to test me...the department celebrated February birthday's today. Yep, cake and all. I sat in a conference room with, I dunno, about 20 other people who were all eating a rather delicious looking and smelling cake and I declined. Honest to Mary! It was hard hard HARD...boy...I mean it was physically affecting me!

Anywho! I made it through all of that thanks to some support around the office and my iPod...barely.

Today is Pilates day as well! Weeee! I am actually starting to get very excited about Pilates days and I will be SO sad when the semester is over! But by then I will be really fit from the 30DS (30 Day Shred) and P90X, so it'll be cool :)

'Till next time...


Quote of the day:
::I am eating sunflower seeds::
Me: Mmm you got popcorn?
Kristina: Yeah, I had to or I would eat that cake!
Me: I know what you mean, that's why you are hearing non-stop crackin' and poppin' over here!

Diary Entry

Okay, here is my food diary for the day. It looks tiny, but you can click on it and it will enlarge it. I didn't do any workouts, but I did opt for the stairs all day today, instead of the elevator (I am on the 4th floor!).

It looks like I have a lot left over, but I did have this random dessert bar at work that someone made and as far as the casserole, it was handmade so I don't know if the calorie count is exact...in other words, "good enough".

I promise to get healthier snacks and meals and be more precise, I just need to go shopping :)

Day 1...ready...GO!!!

How many diets and exercises will I try before I actually get the job done? How ever many I have done before today, that's how many!

Seriously, I am actually sort of tired with myself giving up all the time! It takes commitment, dedication and positivity, I think I FINALLY have it all, plus an ever-growing support system. If I want to look and feel a certain way, it's not going to happen by magic and it's certainly not going to be achieved by quick fixes. I had to fail a few times for it to finally click.

One big thing that really got some fire up my butt was when I realized that, as of today, there is NO way I would pass the physical test to get into the Academy...not even a little bit. How stupid would it be if I worked this hard to get my degree and then couldn't do what I wanted to because I am slightly over-weight and not so fit? I can tell you, it would be VERY stupid. And sure, I can start training when I get closer to graduating...but why not start now and blow it out of the water then, impress the poo out of some of those men? I see myself in that uniform, running 90 in my cruiser, then chasing down a suspect and instantly I feel the passion to be a better me.

And I can't lie....looking good is totally something I look forward to as well. People can say they are doing it "for themselves" all day long, but you know you want a slamming body! You want have men wanting you and women wanting to be you. Stop lying in your brain and just admit it!

So in a very general overview, here is a plan that I am setting in motion:

*Started* A general calorie-counting diet on MyFitnessPal.com. I am going to post my food and exercise journals on here daily (hopefully). I was going to do WeightWatchers again (because I lost 30 lbs on that) but I don't want to spend the money, to be honest.

*Started* A separate savings account that will be used to by myself a whole new wardrobe when I get done with the "hard part" and start my maintenance program. I will probably use it to buy things here and there to get me through until I get to go on a shopping spree as well. I think this is a majorly good idea for anyone who is starting a program. It's a non-food treat and it sure will make you feel stellar when you HAVE to buy new clothes because nothing else fits.

*Started* 10-Day Whole Body Cleanse by Enzymatic - I am actually doing this to CLEANSE my body, what it's intended to do. I am not looking to lose weight with it or anything like that. Just a nice kick-start to my diet!

March 19 (after my cruise) - I will start Jillian Michaels' 30-Day Shred along with a fitness and meal plan from her site - This will give me a good base for the next step....wait for it...

April 23 - P90X BABY! That's right. I have committed myself to P90X! I have read stories and stories and seen many results and let me tell you, I am PUMPED! That should finish up in July, right in the middle of bathing suit season...I see a bikini in my future :)

Whenever that's over - I will being hiring a personal trainer for a week to get a good maintenance program going so I won't have to do the above ever again. By this time I know I am going to look AHHHH-mazing and I will want to keep it that way.

At some point - I am going to do Insanity! I just want to see what it's all about! Maybe do it every so often to challenge my body and such.

To there you have it! This chubby chick is ready to be a fit fox yet again! I am very, VERY excited and full of motivation at this point. I hope you share this journey with me and you find it useful in your world!
