99 in 09
So I updated my trackers today, and although I had a gain over the holidays (mostly due to stress) I’m already starting to work off those pounds! I have 99 more lbs to lose till I get to my goal weight!!! That sounds soo much better than 100 or more! 
I’m sooo excited, and I know I can do it this year! According to what sparkspeople (Thanks Stacey! Now I’m hooked! And Angel I found you! Anyone else on there? My name is SMK213) says, if I can lose 2lbs a week, I will be at my goal in Decemeber! That means I will need to lose 99 lbs in 09! And I can enter 2010 being at my goal weight I’d be the happiest girl in on the planet! And even if don’t hit it, but I get close, cause I know all about the ups and downs of this, I will still be pretty freakin happy!
I got a new treadmill!!! YAY!!! And I am completely in love with it! It’s pretty kick butt with all it’s new features, and the pre-programed workouts are trying to kill me! (Eventually I will be kicking thier butts… damn incline! haha) I also went out and bought new work out clothes (simply for the motivation lol I’m not that vain that I need to look cute working out in my own house haha!) And now I’m on a roll! I don’t know why I dread workout at times… It makes me feel sooo much better after I do it, I’m proud of my self for what I accoplish, I love challanging my self (and winning the challange!) it helps with my eating (those treats don’t look too tempting after I’ve sweated my butt off!) and I always sleep better, which in turn makes the next day better because I’m well rested and ready to go! So why do I dislike something that makes me better? I want to become one of those people that love physical activites, and enjoys working out, and I think I’m on my way! The only problem is that I tend to get bored on the treadmill is where I have it, I can’t put a tv. I can’t read (I tried it and it’s impossible unless I slow down, and what’s the point of that?!) And I have an ipod and it’s great, but I think I need more music (Suggestions anyone??) because I’m listening to the same old songs everytime. So any one have any suggestions on what to do to make the time go faster?
Thank you to all you guys that sent me messages of encouragement these past couple weeks, they helped out more than you know, I adore this site and all you guys on it, you guys are becoming more than just my fellow buddies, you’re becoming my friends! Everyones support and motivation has helped soo much and has been the driving force of my encouragement! Thanks guys!
I love buying new workout clothes. It makes the next workout so special. I think you will grow to enjoy working more as you see more results. I used to force myself to exercise, and now I love it and can’t stand missing a workout.
I just bought some new yoga pants because I couldn’t face the grubby old sweats *yes, I do wash them, why do you ask?
), so I get where you’re coming from with the motivation.
Music: check out http://www.playlist.com/alegebralab and scroll down to Mrs. H’s Algebra LAB, click on it, scroll back up, and have fun. Some of the music is too slow, but MUCH of it will have you moving like mad.
Fitness magazine has a great website. You can sign up for differnt e-mail newsletters, and certain ones contain a new playlist you can download each week. I don’t have an iPod (yet!) so I don’t know much about it (except that I see it my newsletter) but it’s worth a look, I think.
