Switching Things Up

I decided that my workouts needed to be enjoyable again. After my workouts are over they are enjoyable, cause well.....there over. In order for this to stay long term and for me to love what I do decided to go back to swimming laps. One day I went to swim laps and the pool was over run by women in bathing suits doing something to music. I now take a water aerobics class 3 times a week and love it.

I will admit that most of the class is very overweight or older. So in that aspect I feel a little weird, but if you put all your effort into this class its actually hard at some points. Have you ever tried running against a current created by 20 people doing laps around the edge of a pool? It is not easy my friends. If you have access to a water aerobics class I highly recommend giving it a try. You never know if you might enjoy it or not. It's also very forgiving on the joint.

I am holding strong at 288.1 right now I am hoping by the end of this month to see a little more down on the scale since the last time I had any weight change was on April 17th.

I hope you have a great day

A long time update

well ladies and gents its been a while. I'm very sorry for being gone for so long. it's hard to balance having a life, work, school and the hubby. So the blog has suffered. Here's an update on life: This past weekend was my 6yr anniversary. I hit my 60lb mark for 6yrs and we celebrated at six flags. Yes, I did fit in the roller coasters!!! every single one! It was a great day. On school, things are going great. I am averaging B's. and finals are this week. Looking forward to the end of semester. Now lets focus on the whole reason for this blog. My weight and Phyllis (my band). I have not gained!! but I have not lost in a couple of weeks. I know why and I am ok with it. We went clothes shopping 2 weeks ago and I bought a size 18 capri's down from a 26! that is a huge success! I am still in a size 20 jeans but I am happy with what I can get. so not only have I been a ton of chocolate but I haven't been working out to much either. So staying the same weight is great. I am trying to get back on the band wagon. So this isn't your I have returned but I gained X amount of pounds. This is just a nice walk back into town just the way I left it. I hope you all are doing well and that life is treating you great. Until next time. <3

Update

wow i cant believe its been so long since I have posted anything. School and work and a new found social life with the hubs is keeping me super busy. Everything is going good though.

I got an 89 on that math exam I told you about forever ago. I also have not heard anything more from the job search. We have a new person in charge at work now though so things are starting to look better. 

I weighed in at 290.5 this morning. So only 1/2 a lb from 60lbs lost! awesome right! I also this week firmly put my butt into a size 20 jean. I am down 4 sizes from when In started losing weight. I am now in a size 14/16 top down from a 20/22. Things are going good in the weight loss department. I have decided that food is good and I not strictly eating 1200 cals a day anymore and just enjoying life for the most part. Within foodie reason. 

So happy Saturday I hope everyone isn't getting rained out today :)

Now off to the hair appt I missed last weekend

I'm Not Fat, I'm Vertically Challenged

I decided to women up today and step on the scale at work. I hate that scale by the way. First of all I'm not in the buff and I have already had a ton of water drink, lastly I am not about to take my shoes off to stand on that thing. So I was pleasantly surprised when this morning on the scale it only put me a pound higher. I calculate that out to be about a pound less then the last time I weighed myself at home. I will not commit to it until I can see it in the buff!

Until next time :)

YaY It's Monday Again

Good morning blogger. It's Monday again. The worst day of the week to wake up early :(

You all know about my interview on Friday...I think it went very well! I will know more today. So finger crossed. Right now I get up at 0500 every morning for work and I am working by 0615. This job I wouldn't even have to wake up till 7!!! can you believe that! I will have to push some other stuff around if I get this job, but who cares it can be done. I would be able to get up at 0600 to work out.  and not have to leave for work until 0815! How awesome is that! I wouldn't have to take much of a pay cut. Also where I work now I probably put in a good 3 hrs extra a week and don't get paid because its not allotted. I know that doesn't seem like much but that's around $50 I'm losing a week in my time. It would fantastic to get this job. I actually scheduled an appointment for 0700 for myself later in the month knowing that it might not interfere with work. Brilliant! And if I'm still here and it does then who cars. I can't stand this place.

It  was warm this weekend finally! I took the dog for a walk and the poor guy didn't make it very far. I had to pick him up for a little ways. I know he is pathetic. We had some friends over for a barbeque last night. We made fuit salad, regular salad, corn on the cob(grilled), burgers, hot dogs and the hubby had chicken. I have finally conseded to the fact that I can't eat burgers anymore. They just don't like to go through the nice way. I took 2 bites last night and had to give the rest to the hubby. He was happy about it though. I ate a hotdog with some corn and fruit instead. It's sad because he make the best burgers too.

I still do not have a working scale. The one we have you have to do this little trick to get it to work right and at 5 am I am not in the mood to mess with it. If I can't step on it and it works then its not worth my time when I can barely finction that early. I think the hubs is going to order this fancy scale that records BMI too with our rewards points. So morale of the story I don't have a weight up date yet.

Well anyway have a great Monday everyone.
