Time for a new scale & big decision.

I was so excited to get up and get on the scale this morning. What did I get a maintain. I maintained last week and I ate bad. This week had a few treats but worked my butt off!!! I am NOT happy. First off it is time to get a new scale, mine is not very acurate. I was going to wait for Christmas to get one but no more waiting. I did not want to buy myself anything else this close to Christmas. My goal is to get one THIS weekend! I am really scared mine is off and I will weigh more. Oh well!!

I went to Barrie’s last night after my 2 classes, I really pushed myself and my legs were so sore. Not as bad today :)… I am going to do the same 2 classes on Saturday. Barrie was going to do my oil change and a few things to my car last night, I was so tired and said do it another night hehe.

Alright I have a big decision to make. I have two jobs. I work for a travel doctor as a medical office assistant and I am also a travel agent. The travel doctor job is 9-5 Monday to Friday but he is a huge ass. Right now I’m just doing travel on the side to make some extra $. I did work part time for both until I was layed off of travel. The pay in travel is crap and there was no hours. Early this week my travel boss called me and asked me if I wanted to come back. She could offer me 3-4 shifts a week and more money. We never got into figures but I know it wont be near what I am making now. See the girl that I am covering her mat leave is coming back in January but the Dr. told me he still wants me full time. The travel boss said she could offer me 2 shifts and I could work at both places, just cut the travel dr. shifts down. Not sure what to do. Travel dr. is an ass but travel there isn’t much of a future and I have a feeling they will go under, plus I can still work on the side.

 Anyways hope you all had a better weigh in and have a great weekend!

Rain/wind storm and Twilight!

Wish I was coming on to blog about a great workout I had last night as planned. Well it didn’t work out that way. Went out for dinner as planned and because of the rain/wind storm we are getting everyone was late. I knew there was no chance for me to get to the gym for dancefit. First I was going to go home and get on the treadmill. Poker is normally on Wednesday nights and I was going to skip it. Then I talked to my friends husband and found out there were putting thier dog down today so I went to poker and tried to cheer them up. Or is that an excuse? I was there for about an hour before everyone else showed and I had fun playing with their girls. I brought home some money!!!!

I was decent at dinner. I had the house salad with the dressing on the side & cajun chicken. It was so good!!! I ate it all….. It was huge, but mostly lettuce so I’m not dwelling. I felt a little yucky last night and I think it was from the dressing.

We have had wind/rain warnings for about a week now. I forgot how much it rains here after the great summer we had. I swear it rains EVERYDAY and it’s even flooding in places. There are a lot of places without power and many schools are closed. Maybe my work power will go out and I can go home!

How many of you are excited for New Moon? I never wanted to watch Twilight not really my thing. But my friend said I HAD to and she burnt me a copy. It was so good!!!! I hope to see it with a gf this weekend!

 I was going to my Thursday night swimming class, which is a bit easier of a workout. But since the lack of yesterday I am going to no sweat and danc fit. NO EXCUSES!!!!

I love the gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I went to two classes at the gym and loved every minute of it. Dance Fit is so much fun and you burn major calories. It’s getting easier, I’m excited for when they change the routine and we get to try something new.

 I was going to get up at 5:45am this morning to go to the gym because I have dinner plans tonight so no gym time. I woke up and I wasn’t even tired as I went to bed by 9:30pm but my bed was so warm and comfy. So I decided I will go to Dance Fit tonight. The class isn’t until 7:30pm so that gives me plenty of time. Plus it will make me not eat a heavy meal :)..

Yesterday I went out for lunch with my old co-worker Susan and I was so good. I am proud. They had such a delicous menu and I choose salmon, greek salad and garlic bread. I did not eat the garlic bread it was huge and I had a piece of Susan’s which was mini. Tonight I will be just as good :)…

I’m planning a ladies “candle” party. LOL I’ve always wanted to have one and I will be moving out of here when the house sells into a bedroom so time to do it now. I’ve been to a few before like “hanky panky” and “passion parties”. This one is called “sex ed with a twist”. Should be a good time :P… December 11th is the date!

Quickie

Lots to do at work today, I’m a little overwhelmed! So I need to make this short.

 Yesterday I went to the gym after eating a late lunch and still having my afternoon snack. I was to full to do anything. I was only there for about 30 minutes. I felt like blah… And my new shoes gave me blisters. My old ones are so bad that I have no time to work the new ones in. Then I went to Barries and made vegetarian shepards pie. It was so good. But was SOOOOO much work. I snacked while waiting for it to cook. I feel asleep when we were watching house at 10:15… Hehe all that cooking pooped me out!

Today I am going to two classes, no sweat and then dance fit cardio. I need to burn those halloween treats away.

Anyways I have lots to do so I gotta run.

 Will be back later to read blogs :)

Busy weekend… Shopping!!!!

Morning buddies! I know I promised pictures but I still do not have my laptop. I put them on a disk at Barrie’s but my roomates computer wouldn’t load it. So if I go to Barrie’s tonight I will post them :)

Alan Jackson was AWESOME… Even better we got to sit in 4th row. We went out for dinner first. I had leftover tuna cakes at home and then at the restaurant I only had veggies and dip. YAY ME!!!

Saturday I went to the gym (Dance Fit Cardio my new fav) and then went into the Travel Agency to do some work. I had a $112 cheque from last Feb that was never cashed. That was a nice suprise :).

Sunday I went with my roomate and her friend across the line to go shopping. I LOVE shopping in the states. Here I can only go to 2 stores that have size 11 women shoes. I was like a kid in a candy store. I bought 3 pairs :)…

This big thrift store here is having a 50% off of everything sale today and I got there at 7:30am so I could go before work. I need new work pants as mine are to big. I must have tried on 15 pairs but they were all to short. I got some shirts though.

Anyways I have like 10 voicemails and 20 emails to return then I will be back to read some blogs.

TGIF and a maintain.

MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!! TGIF

Well I maintained so it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I got on the scale about 10 times today. I need a new scale but don’t really want to buy one. So I think I will ask for one for Christmas. Mine is not a digital and not very accurate. When I weight at the gym it says i’m more.

Yesterday was a good day. I drank all my water, ate well and went to the gym. Thursday is the only pool class I go to now, because I love the instuctor so much. I don’t think it is enough anymore, I think I might swim laps or get on the treadmill in the morning.

Tonight I am going to Alan Jackson with my dad. I am SOOOOOOO excited. It was my dads birthday present. We are going to have a blast. I’ll be sure to take pictures!

Anyways time to get to work! Have a good weekend buddies :)

Emotional eating 101

Yesterday started off as a great day even though I was upset with Barrie. I got up early even though I didn’t have to work and got a lot done before heading to the gym. I was just going to do a light workout but I was in the mood to run so I did. Then I went and enjoyed the hot tub :D.

I came home and made tuna cakes for lunch. Awhile later I layed down and was going to watch a movie. I had a whole bag of smart pop popcorn (normally I eat half). I’m embaressed to say that throughout the day I had approx. 10 mini halloween chocolate bars.

My roomates friend came over and she invited me to come to dinner with them. She knew I was in a mood and wanted to cheer me up. I thought to myself what the hell I already screwed the day up enough. I had a chicken wrap and ……. friends, I never have fries. They weren’t even good but I sure ate most of them.

See things with Barrie and I have been so great since we confirmed the bf/gf status. However I think he may be at a different stage in his life. I’m going to wait to I see him to talk to him about it because he gets really defensive on the phone. Then a friend who I was going to move in with (she raised the rent so I can’t afford it) is ignoring me….. Why do I get myself so worked up?

 Anyways time to work for a bit, I will be back to read blogs!

Dance fit!!!!

Morning buddies, going to try this daily blogging thing.

Yesterday I went to No Sweat and Dance Fit Cardio and I LOVED every minute of it. I go to no sweat often but it was a first for dance fit. What a workout!!! Between the 2 classes I burned 775 cals! It was great there was 3 sections: hip hop, Baliwood and music video. Baliwood is so hard, lots of jumping. I can’t wait to go Saturday :)….

After the class I came home and had a big bowl of vegetarian chilli and bread with butter. MMMMMMMM… I had 1/2 a protein bar before the classes and I think it was the only way I got through them, considering by the time they were over it was after 7pm and I still hadn’t ate dinner.

The other night at the gym I seen a girl I went to high school with. I know she is a runner and I messaged her on facebook and said it was nice seeing her and asked her some questions about running. She wrote me this LONG response back and boy is she passionate about running. She even invited me to do some of the races she is doing. I know I am not ready for that yet but I look forward to joining her group in the future.

Anyways time to look at blogs and then off to the gym, and hot tub ;)!

Gym, 16’s and picture!

Thought it was time for an update. The next 2 weeks I will be able to get on regularly but after that I will be working long hours until Christmas. So I might as well take advantage of it.

 Life has been good, i’m finally back in weight loss mode after my little fall. Only 11 pounds until 199. WOW!!! That will be over 75lbs lost. I tried step for the first time Saturday it was only a 30 minute class before the stregnth class I normally take it was SO MUCH FUN!!! I don’t think I could handle for then 30 minutes yet. ohhh and I’m in 16’s now :). Time to chuck my 18’s. I need new dress pants, I look like a bum.

 Tonight I am going to go to the stregnth class and maybe Dancefit. I didn’t want to try it alone and my friend bailed. Does anyone else do classes at the gym? What do you like/dislike?

 Here is a pic from Halloween!
