Hello 2012....

Yeah, I totally suck as a blogger these days. I am so busy with my lovely work schedule (6 days a week and holding) that i never seem to have time to blog. I am hoping things change soon and I can get back to this. I miss it. Until then, please don't forget me. :)

DAMMIT.....

This new work schedule is really killing me. I mean, the money is awesome but I am so f-ing tired! Strangely, my weight has plateaued for now, but I have lost several inches. WTF? How am I way smaller but have lost no more weight? I went down 2 entire sizes (got new work scrubs) and I haven't dropped a pound in a while! My body is so weird. Oh well. It is more about how you look and not what you weigh, anyhow. I will try to post again soon. Hopefully the new year will bring a more sane schedule.

Grrrrrr......

Please don't count me out. Still getting adjusted to the new work schedule. This 6 days a week thing is rough! I will be back soon!

MIA....

Sorry I have been absent lately. My work schedule is killing me! Still at it with the Turbo Fire. Still eating well. Just need a few days to get adjusted to working 6 DAYS A WEEK. Ugh, what was I thinking? Oh well. The money will be great.

Week 2 is off with a bang....

Today marks the beginning of week two of Turbo Fire. I am now down to 257 and my measurements are looking promising! I will post them at the end of this entry. Today's workout was intense but fun; felt more like dancing than exercise. I love it. Today is my only day off all week, so I plan to enjoy it. I wish Didge (won't post her real name for privacy reasons) was here. I miss her. Oh well. That is what emails are for, right? Anyway, I am doing well. I am very impressed with myself; I have not wavered, I have not given up or gotten lazy. I am going to see this through. I am going to get fit and be healthy again. I want this more than anything. :)

Ok, measurements. Here we go:

                       Start:                                         Current:

End of week 1....

Today was the final day of week one of Turbo Fire. I am currently having an issue trying to adjust my calories. I am thinking I need to stay around 2000 daily, but the calorie counter on the Beach Body site says 1600. I think that is just too low. My coach says to take in more, so I am going to go with that for now! I am feeling healthier every day. I am so ready for week two! Bring it!

Pushing it.....

Day 6 is off to a good start. Healthy breakfast, intense workout, feeling good. I am still trying to adjust my eating schedule to coincide with my work schedule. Especially now that I will be working 6 days a week every week. Great for the bank account, difficult on the schedule. Oh well.  I will manage. I am determined to make this work.
