dude...

So many things, so little blog.

I went to the gym and swam for over an hour. O-U-C-H. I used muscles I didn't know I had. Actually it started out a little touch and go. Get to the YMCA around 7ish. Awesome! There are 4 lanes and only 1 person is actually swimming in one, some other guy is just sitting on the edge of the pool so far with his butt crack fully visible, but I'll let that slide, I'm here for excercise, not scopin' cracks. I grab a kick board and go to the lane by the wall. I slide in and try to decide how I'm going to go about this. I'm like a fish. I can swim. let's just float a minute, tread some water - stretch it out... Ok... Time to kick it into gear. Left arm, Right arm, Left arm, BREATHE, Left arm, Right arm, BREATHE, Left arm, BREATHE BREATHE! Breathe bitch do you're lungs not work?!

OMG. I am totally Jen Lancaster right now. I completely think this, which makes me break out into a giggling fit. I gasp for air, choke and then burp. Mort-i-fied. (Looking around) Other swimmers were under water and the 14 year old life guard is reading. Sweet, my awesomeness is still intact. Ha.

I decide to back stroke it since my breath/swimming in a straight line skills are something to be desired. And I back stroked until my arms almost fell off. Then swam with the kickboard until I almost lost a leg. I'm very proud of my self. Go me! (Ok, I may or may not have just eatin Nacho Cheese Doritos but I was hungry and wanted a snack - deal.)

Last night I even did the eliptical for 35 minutes and swore my legs might actually break off as I was walking out to my car. This morning I couldn't drag my body out of bed for a morning workout. Yeah right.

Sigh.. I'm done typing. More later.

'aqua fitness'

aka water aerobics might be the best thing I've ever done at the gym next to the elliptical machine. Seriously. I went with mom tonight to an aqua class and it was lots of fun and yet really worked my muscles. I left kinda achy - in a good way of course. Fabulous!
I'm going to the gym in the morning and hitting the cardio again. Look at me go.
This morning I weighed myself this morning and I had lost 4 lbs. Woo Hoo! I only have 36 lbs left to lose. HA HA HA. So, really not that much, right? Riiiight.

Whoa.

Yeah so perhaps we should talk about my back sweat.

How, within 10 minutes of huffing it on the treadmill it was filling up my pink cotton t-shirt like a walrus fills it's belly with fish. Yes. I was that girl. Needless to say i did give it my all for a grand total of 45 minutes on an incline of 5.0 speed of 3.0. So I mean, I was actually workin it for a walrus. Right?

Since I had to take Socks to the vet this morning I couldn't drag my fat ass to the pool at 5:30 am-I am SOO doing it tomorrow morning. Fo 'sho. 30-40 minutes of laps will be a great workout! Aren't ya proud? Even my mom (who joined the YMCA with me) did aqua fitness (aka water aerobics) this morning. Way to go Momma! Look at my family, getting all fit and stuff.

About to eat a little dinner, watch a little family guy, hit up the twitter/facebook/email and finally read before hitting the hay.

And this is just because, frankly, I think Hungry is cute:

pre workout mode.

Ok, I'm about to head to the gym.
My thoughts? Semi-anxious. Nervous. Ready to really make a difference this time.
I'll let you know how it goes afterwards. I'm getting ready to hit the gym up at 7 (so about 30 minutes!) omg! :) kidding.

Talking to Jess on the phone. She makes me laugh. We are probably the same person in 2 different bodies. Ha.

OK getting dressed for the gym. Keep ya posted!

It's Official.

I'm a beached whale. (See above, the left solid green) It saddens me actually. I've upped the weight loss goal to 40 lbs. I started today.Here I am 30ish lbs ago. (To the right, dur.) Not as chunky face, arm isn't c

ompletely out of control. Yes, the chin is alittle doublish, but hello, I'm trying!

This morning I had 2 eggs, 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and some no sugar added oatmeal. Hello, boring. Lunch included sauted chicken and veggie dumplings (very VERY good actually) and dinner; tomato and moz salad with half a calzone from Old Chicago Pizza. (Yes the other half will be for lunch tomorrow.) I'm really trying to get my shit together it's out of control. I'm starting working out at the YMCA tomorrow morning at 5:30. Yes. F

ive THIRTY. A.M. It seems like a good idea right now. I think I'm going to hit the pool and swim some laps and because I'm leaving a little early to pick up kitty at the vet tomorrow I'm going to go back to the gym and hit up the cardio. Look at me go! :) 

So I haven't blogged in forever. This is my new little baby Socks. 

She's out of control. A coworker found a mama and her litter of kittens and helped take care of them until they were ready to be weaned. I couldn't resist taking her. She's so funny and so

 full of personality. And sometimes she's a bitch face. However so  it her mom so I mean, she learned it from watching me. Whatever. She's getting her lady parts removed tomorrow.. Sniff sniff, my little lady is growing up! Shit! Which reminds me she shouldn't be eating and I totally hear her chowing down in the kitchen. Eh. I'll let her have a snack, then cut it off. 

Ok. I'm going to start saving starting this Friday too. It's not $20 a pay check, it's only $10, but I'm totally get it together. It's going to be automatically moved from checking to savings so I won't even have to think about it. Shoo, I'm almost being a grown up.
