Over a month....

I've been a bit MIA again- still no real computer.  Hoping something cheap comes up for sale soon.  I'd love to not have to rely on my iPhone to check my emails and not having a computer to update this is a big deterrent as well.  Now that I have 2 jobs (2 paychecks) hopefully I'll get everything back on track and can look at getting something new.

I just recently wrote a guest post for my friend Kelly over at Living the Before. When I looked at how she put the post together it came crashing back to me- I need to get my head in the game big time.  I was talking with the BFF and it's one thing to know something but when someone says it out loud (or texting it to you) it can come crashing into your face.  I had lost 70# at my lightest/hard body point...so very close to 100# (that is the part that kinda stung).  I will do it...it just seems like it's hard for me to get back that "hard core" girl that I was when I started this journey.  I know it will happen.  My mini goal is to be in one-derland by my birthday, Oct. 30.  This is very doable.  It's only 15#...this shouldn't be this hard!

When I go to the gym I work my butt off.  I know my diet isn't on point though- which is like 70-80% of the process.  I know with dropping down my hours at the emergency clinic and getting a day practice job I'll be able to have more control.  Control is the wrong word, I always have control- it's just that working nights/overnights it's caffine and carbs that keep me going.  That needs to stop.  I need to stop choosing sleep over food and eat properly.  This new job definitely is okay with that- these people snack all day long.  They are a very relaxed office.  I love them!


I was super excited I got to use this machine the correct way :)


Once I get my finances situated I will be putting some funds aside for food shopping.  I have slacked in that area due to tight paychecks...bills take precedence over food.  I say this because I do live with family- so they buy food, but it's not conducive to me losing weight.  I also need to invest in a good lunchbox...something that I can keep my food with me at work and not have to run to the fridge every 2-3 hours.

I am very excited about this new schedule.  I have set up with Alpha to be training M/W/F every week.  I need to have that set time...gives me accountability because I may have a deal going with him but it's not necessarily cheap.  I can't be wasting my money on training and have my food not be on point.

Hopefully I'll get better at updating this thing...I'll make it a goal for Sept.  Maybe I'll even do another guest post once I hit one-derland. :)
