Getting comfortable

Today I realized something, I am starting to get to comfortable where I am. When you are trying to lose weight, there is a point that you reach where you've lost some weight and people are complimenting you. It feels great and you think to yourself, "well everyone thinks I look so great now, why should I keep going?"  I can feel myself slowing down and not taking this as seriously, so how do I stop it? How do I keep myself on track with this? 

Well I am back to treating myself the same way I did 14 pounds ago. I cannot stop, I cannot slow down This is something that I am doing, I am going to lose 40 pounds. I have 6 more pounds to lose before Thanksgiving to hit my halfway point. I don't have much time, so I definitely have to crack down on  my eating habits and my exercise.

Anyway, short post today.
Thanks for reading!

Turning I can't into I can.

I know the title of this post is incredibly cheesy, I'm incredibly cheesy. Like we're talking melted queso cheesy. Cheesiest cheeseball there ever was, right here. Party of 1. I'm pretty sure my husband did not know the lengths of my cheesiness before he married me, oh well, he's stuck now. Though after 8 years, he's used to it. I think. Anyways.  Moving on because if I keep talking about cheese I'm going to need to eat cheese.   I went out for my first run in about 3..ish weeks today, I was nervous for a few reasons, I hadn't run in awhile, I've been super sick and my asthma has been killing me lately. I brought my inhaler which I usually never do on a run (and actually had to use it, so good thing). This session was 5 minutes of running, 3 minutes of walking, 8 minutes of running, 3 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of running. The first 5 minutes felt easy, I was going really really slowly but I was into it. After that I had a cramp, but was still ...

Music and other things

First I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who read my blog yesterday! I was very nervous going "public" with this and it really made me feel so good. Thank you to everyone for your kind words and messages of encouragement, it means more than you will ever know. I know that I now cannot give up, I have to many people behind me stopping me from going back. It also showed me that I am not alone in this and that really helps. Now, onto my post! I was thinking this morning on the way to work how music is such a big part of why I work out.  If I do not have good work out music on, I won't work as hard and I won't work out for as long. I have my "running" playlist on my iPhone and that is my favorite. It has all this upbeat fast paced music.  I really thought about it last night, when I am feeling unmotivated the music is what gets me ready to go.   My favorite music to work out to is usually rap (Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Kanye) OR I also like the 8...

Going to the gym is boring.

The gym can get really, really boring sometimes. No matter how many TVs they put in there, I can never get into any of the shows on there while I'm on the treadmill. How do you keep yourself entertained long enough to put in an hours worth of a work out? It feels impossible sometimes, it's why there are some nights where I Just don't want to go. I've started mixing up my playlists to try and get "pumped" about going to the gym. Tonight, it just isn't working. How do I force myself to look forward to spending an hour of my day working out when it could be much better spent laying around..doing nothing. I look at my calories and realize that I only have 393 left for today, crap. I have to go. Either that or I skip dinner and skipping dinner is NOT happening. So, I must go.  I know that once I get there and get moving I will feel a lot better about it, I will be more motivated once I have my work out clothes on. Right now, it's just not happening. I wis...
