Working Towards My Goal

I've been working out three times a weeks just like I told myself I would. I'm going to the gym on Monday and Friday mornings and to Zumba on Wednesday. Working out seems to be doing its job. I'm almost to my September goal of 210.

I've also been going shopping in my closet. I forgot how many clothes I have. It's way cheaper than going to a store, but I'm hoping I do have to buy new clothes when I get to my goal. That will be so much fun to go to regular stores and not see an X in the size.

Goal Setting

I had set a September goal of being below 210 and I'm getting close. Only 5 more pounds to go and 2 weeks to do it in. It's possible.

My next goal....be under the big 2...0...0. Oh to see a 1 again.

My birthday is at the end of October and I think a great goal to go for is to be under 200. That's way more exciting than turning another year older.

Goal... So far.

I worked out on Friday just like I said. I did have to force myself to get off the couch, but I did it. I also went to the gym today. I bought an armband for my iPod so I can listen to my music. So far so good. My arms are sore, but I'll work through it. I'm still trying to sign up for Zumba, but have had no luck contacting them. I guess I'll have to wait until Tuesday since they won't be open on Labor Day.

I need to get into running. I hate to run, but I would love to accomplish something like a 5K so I can say I did it. Maybe I'll look to see if there are any next summer around town I can sign up for. That could be a good long term goal.

Been Awhile

So I feel like I abandoned the blog for a little bit. I started school two weeks ago so I'm still trying to get back in routine. I think I'm finally at a place where I may have a few minutes to spare to write a blog entry. Plus, my son is also asleep on the chair with me so I'm kind of trapped with the computer. What a good time to write down my thoughts.

Goal: Work out three times a week!!!!

I wrote it down. I have to do it now. I've been trying to sign up for Zumba, but nothing seems to be going my way. The place I was going to go suddenly closed its doors, the instructor has moved to another location so I tracked her down and found out when and where. I went to sign up today, but of course it was closed. I'm going to do it tomorrow. Does trying to exercise count as exercising for today......? I'm going to go with no. Well I'll drive my butt to the gym tomorrow.


Caution. It's about to get gross......


Anyone sliming out there? Didn't know what the term was until I read it on a post somewhere, but it pretty much sums up what I've been going through every so many days. Sliming is when food is stuck in your throat and the only way out is to ooze out of your mouth in a nasty spit ball. I know it sounds gross and I hate doing it. A couple of times I thought I was burping and a big wad of goo came up. It's so bad for you. I've been trying to eat slower, chew longer, stay away from bad foods, and it keeps happening. I know its not that I'm too tight because the next day I can eat normal again. So weird.
