So, it's day 4 and I freaking screw up already. I didn't make it today. I was thinking of all the excuses I could find, like, it's the day before school starts, getting everything ready for the kids, buying supplies, buying groceries, running all around town,etc.... Well, there is NO excuse! I messed up! and yes, I feel awful about it!
Louis said to make up just to do cardio twice tomorrow, AM and PM. I don't know if that counts, but I'll give it a go since I'm off from work tomorrow.
I've seeked the advise of a professional. I'll let you know how that goes. Well, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Oh BTW, todays weigh in 133.6. I'm a freaking YO-YO!
TTYL,

Saturday Aug 20,2011
Hi There,
Well today was one of those days. I woke up feeling fine. Today's weight was 131.8, so that was a good thing. :-) Went about my day but then it hit me. I started feeling crappy. I got into one of my moods. Don't know why; actually maybe I do know, I think it was the whole food thing; just thinking "what am I going to eat now?", "it's not enough", "I want more".
So after lunch, I decided to take a nap. I love naps. :-) When I woke up I was still feeling eehhh, but I thought, "okay, I need to do my cardio". I didn't want to do cardio at the gym so I decided to take it to the track again.
It was another great workout! It definitely helped me get out of my funk. I ran 6 laps around the track, did 20 sprints, 20x up and down the bleacher and ended it with going up the hill, the steepest part, 10x. Once again I was drenched and I loved it. I love the feeling of a good workout, when I know that I gave it 110%.
So 3 days down, feeling okay, right now. I have to get focused but for some unknown reason I can't seem to. It's sooo frustrating. I hate when I get in one of those moods. Whatever, I'm fine now and I'm looking forward to tomorrows cardio....hmmm what should I do????

Day 2, August 19, 2011
It's Friday. I ended up going to the gym late, around 8pm. I decided I would do cardio first. I know you should weight train first and then cardio but honestly after weight training I just dont feel like getting on a machine for 1/2 hour or 45 min to do cardio. I just want to get out of there.
So I did 30 minutes cardio first. First 15 minutes I did on the stairclimber at a steady pace, it wasn't bad and the time went by rather quickly. Just so I wouldn't get bored I then did the other 15 mintues on the step climber....after the first 5 minutes I was dying. It was sooo hard for some reason. I struggled a bit the last 5 minutes...closed my eyes a few times and just told myself "just do it, just finish it, you can do it...COME ON! FINISH!" and I did :o)
So my cardio session was followed by a ten minutes rest, as ususal I was drenched.
Since it was Friday night, the gym was pretty empty, best time to go, but because of that it was also very cold. As I was walking to they "guy" section to start working out on shoulders, I was shivering. I was all wet from sweat and it was cold in there, but I still managed to workout.
Well, that was day 2. As for the "diet" part of this whole thing, I could've done better. I wasn't awful, but could've definitely have done better.
Tomorrow is another day. I definitely like doing cardio out doors better. Don't have a plan for tomorrow's work out yet but I'll keep you posted.

Kinda official Start, Aug 18, 2011
Okay I admit it, I have a problem. I'm obsessed! I'm obsessed with "getting" in shape. The problem is I freaking can't seem to get there. It's really frustrating. I'm always going through mood swings because of this "obsession" At times I'm feeling great and on my way, other days I just want to crawl under the sheets and hide and not leave the house.
I drive my family mad with all these new "challenges" I put myself through. The problem is I never follow through. Well, let me not say never. I did go all the way once. I'll tell you about another time.
Anyhow, my new challenge is 30 days straight of cardio. I officially started this yesterday on a Thursday, not a Monday, and in the middle of the month; I didn't wait until the 1st of the month. Why postpone what I can start now.
Why a cardio challenge you ask? Because of my fat legs! actually because of my fat everything. I've been told and I've read everywhere I need to do lots of cardio to shrink, of course that's aside of weight lifting which I also do and enjoy. I also do Tabata and that always kicks my butt.
If you happen to stumble across this page and decide to follow me I hope I don't disappoint you. Maybe if I see people actually want to know how I'm doing I will hopefully commit to this 100%.
So here it goes....
PS oh I thought I might enter my weight daily, even though I shouldn't go by the number but sometimes it is motivation...that being said, I woke up today at 134.8 (not happy)
Have a great weekend,
Ale :o)
