How To Be A Terrible Blogger

Hey! Wow. I'm sorry to have let you down! I haven't posted in a really long time. Life is so busy and things get in the way. So if you want to be a terrible blogger, which I don't think you do, be like me! Ha ha! Anyways. This weight loss thing is not going well as usual. I decided and made the decision to cut out on bread and things. I am thinking about trying to local gym. I hope I see progress real soon. The truth is, I'm so tired and it's almost as if I need a good 'ol kick in the butt to get me going again. So please, go ahead. Along with life getting in the way, I'm also sick. I have been this way for a month now. I NEVER usually get sick but boy, this sucker hit me hard. I really hope it goes away soon and no, I haven't used the excuse/lied and said I'm not hungry like people usually do when they are sick and also trying to lose weight at the same time. I'm still eating as well as I can. You gotta keep those nutrients a'coming. So that's pretty much my update. I still have not been able to get Deidre Hall's Kitchen Close-Up book. Unfortunate, I know. I really want it but I don't have a Amazon account and that's the only place they are selling it. Shoot. Stay classy! Don't be surprised if I don't update again soon. Oh yeah, good job on ensuring more views, huh?

Home Sweet Home!

Okay! I'm back from holidays for a while now. I'm disappointed to say I did not keep up my fitness and nutrition plan during holidays. Well you all know what holidays are like! You eat more often, eat more junky snacks, don't get as much exercise because holidays are for relaxing... Or is that just me? Well anyways I just got back to my plan today. Bought lots of celery and watermelon! These tend to keep you fuller longer and have no calories. They come in handy when you are feeling snackish or need something to eat. I actually re-created my workout plan today after I finished working out based on the other plan. So if you don't mind I'd like to share the plan right below and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Maybe you'd even share or change yours as well! :)

WORKOUT PLAN:
Plug in/turn on the radio or ipod
100 twist crunches
50-100 normal crunches
50 push-ups
5o on back leg spreads
100 side stretch squats
50-100 normal squats
60 tricep/bicep curls with weight
50 more crunches

Then wait about a half an hour and go jogging for 30 minutes. This will be sure to help if it's done everyday and you're diet is healthy!

Crap.

No worries. Although the title says crap this blog update is obviously not based on crap... I just wanted to let you all know I failed the sugar detox. Hah! Crap. See? Yeah well, I got sucked into having a cinamon bun with cream cheese drizzled on top. Oh man. I was so disappointed when I finished. Sorry if I let you all down. Have any of you ever tried a sugar detox? Let me know.

Sugar Detox

Starting tomorrow I am beginning another healthy arrangement to my weight loss plan. I am going to see how far I can go without eating any processed sugar products. No candies, chocolates, cookies or anything that has loads of unnatural sugar inside. A few friends have tried this and have been very successful. I hope I get to be as successful as them. I think my plan here is to start the detox tomorrow along with eating healthy and exercising again. I'm gonna try to slim up before fall. Hopefully that goal will come to a success! All I can do right now is try. I bet I'll have even more temptation troubles now. What shall I do? Any idears? Ah well. I'll see what I can do. Stay with me and my weight loss challenge. Come on! Join me and the wanna-be-thinners. IF we have each other we can support and inspire each other. What are you waiting for?! Succeed together, fail together and conquer together!

I'm Trying

I'm trying. I'm trying to keep you all posted but I'm on holidays. Since I do not own a laptop it's hard to update you on the road. Very busy but this being very busy isn't all that productive with the weight loss challenge/progress. I'm hoping to start jogging again tomorrow and start to eat healthy again. Don't know how long that will go for but I'm trying. Do any of you readers/wanna-be-thinners know how to avoid temptation with snacking and eating so much? Whether it's healthy eating or not? I've tried many theories but I have not succeeded with any of them. To be inspired you should all go check out Susie McEntire Luchsinger on facebook and see her pictures and workouts. She lost 40 pounds and is looking great! She works hard and looks great but I have no idea how she keeps with it all the time. Golly. Anyways gotta go do some more packing! Hittin' the road tomorrow for 13 hours. Wha-hoo. Anyways stay strong all! Keep working hard! Succeed together, fail together and conquer together!

Can I Have Some Fettucini and A Bikini?

I was looking in the mirror the other day. It looks as if these crunches have been doing some good! I'm going away for holidays next week and where I'm going has a pool. Is it time? Is it time that I finally try a bikini? I've told myself well, let's go shopping and try on a few first before we make this wobbly decision. So where to go, where to go... Anyways, I looked at the scale yesterday. Can you imagine that I'm only a half a pound heavier even after all the junk food, snacks and sugary sweets that were consumed during those stressful weeks I was telling you about?! I can't believe it! Maybe my metabolism is beginning to behave. I guess all this work has been doing some good, huh? Any who, I'm still kinda nervous to go into that change room and try on a bikini. I love to eat but I'd love to fit into a bikini. I have a problem, don't I? Wouldn't it be nice if I could have lots fettucini but still be able to wear a bikini? That's pretty corny isn't it? Well, you know what I mean... Do you have any bikini or bathing suit stories you are willing to share? I'd love some reassurance. So if you could just get on reassuring me, that would be great. Thanks! Hah! Succeed together, fail together and conquer together.
