I've been aprived for my apartment! I'm so excited.my very own place, I have been waiting so ling for this. with all I have been through. I'm pretty sure when the last gives me the keys I will start to cry. its coming up quick. my move date is the 14th! at least all the packing has got me on a constant move. lol I'm already exhausted after these couple days. lol there just isn't enough time after work. I can't wait for this move to cut a half hour off my drive time considering it takes me anywhere from an hr to an hr and a half to get home. its going to be so nice!

[Boss Man]

I hope it all works out for you, because you really, really deserve it .

[Athene]

Yay

[rockchick_82808]

sorry for the lack in posts recently.its been an emotional roller coaster. dates for my move have changed, classes for college got messed up, work schedule changed...I haven't goine to the gym in two weeks. today I hope to go as pong as traffic allows it because I forgot to bring my clothes with me. for the most part I allowed in more carbs than normal the last two weeks but maintained my weight. I'm nervous because my birth control changed which I hope ky body wo.t put on weight because of it. I just have to ride this out and see what happens.

[Boss Man]

I'll politely decline the apology, as I can't accept unneccesary apologies from a lady, because I consider it rude .

I know you'll get things sorted. Incidentally as you mentioned the BC, I do know that BC is on type of medication that reacts to something in Grapefruit and it can cause increased oestrogen rise, which can elevate things like blood clot risk.

Just thought I'd mention that in case you liked Grapefruit.

I'm sure you'll be fine Christina. Keep on pushing and keep on believing and if you need anything don't hesitate to contact me and we'll work things through together.

Overall these past few months, you've been an absolute star and you've worked so hard for what you have achieved physically and you're getting even more beautiful by the week misses and I am so proud of you, because it's a different situation now to 2 years ago, when it was a stop, start love affair with good living.

So I know you've got the emotional tools and learned how to use them well, to be able to overcome this and progress.

GOOD LUCK and keep remembering, you ARE so worth it .

well today after two weeks...i got back into exercising. i jogged two miles and it felt amazing. starting tomorrow my new work schedule starts and i have to wake up at 430 am for work. then the following week i start school and go for three days a week. my body will be undergoing some serious adjustment. as long as i stick to eating right everything will be ok. the last couple weeks the only thing i have really done was eat more carbs. i have stuck to eating 6 times a day, protein based, salads ect as usual. looks like my food habits are slowing becoming natural to me now. that is a very good thing considering so many times in the past i have failed. i just keep reminding myself that change wont happen over nite, but progress will get me there. i hope to go to the gym tomorrow after work, but i don't know how my body will be with me waking up an hour earlier than usual. we will see. i don't have this membership much longer and i want to get what i can out of it before i leave. its going to break my heart when i do because the bond i created with the trainers there. i will keep posted on how things go this week. cross fingers it goes well.

[Athene]

Sounds like you are in a good place. You're strong enough to keep this going by yourself

[Boss Man]

You have come so far in the past few months and now you ARE ready to make this transition and continue to progress your physical state on your own if needs be.

You have finally gotten to a point, where what you want is real, tangible and you can feel it, because you know have more mind control. You can dictate how you workout and how you eat, without certain feelings you experienced before, putting you off, because you're emotionally and mentally stronger and also wiser now.

This does not mean however that you can get comfortable and presume you have total control and mastery of any thoughts, feelings and urges, that could negatively impact on your willingness to exercise and the food choices you make, because taking your eye off the ball could cause you to slip, but you've come on so much and you're such a different person compared to this time last year, because you have taken the good things about you, used them more wisely and made yourself a better person and by doing that the results ARE happening and you ARE getting the required elements of any weight loss aim sorted and consistently adhered to.

I am really proud of you and I know potentially more than most, how hard it's been sometimes and how emotionally challenging it's been and how there have been things that have made you question yourself, or even if you have what it takes, but now you are proving every week, that you ARE worth it and you CAN do it and what you are going through right now, is a transition period regards moving elsewhere and adjustment to new surroundings and schedules will take time, but I know you will not let these things interefere too much, with what is important for your wellbeing and with the right planning, execution and having plan B's, for occasional unforced deviations off plan(s), you CAN keep on top of what is needed; I truly and firmly believe this.

I wish you so much luck getting your move sorted out and settling in and as ever I wil be around if it gets a bit much, or turns out to be a harder adjustment than you thought, if you need to gripe, moan or vent, because you're a friend and I WILL try to stick by you throughout this journey and beyond, when I can, unless computer faults or nature dictate otherwise which hopefully won't happen.

Keep going and GOOD LUCK . You deserve this and you've worked very hard, to get to this point where it's working out for you and I hope that continues because you're a terrific person who deserves a wonderful life .

So chin up, be strong and no worries okay .

thank you as always boss man.

the last few days have been rough with food. my bfs mom made way too many perogies and I ate too many of them. there are still so many staring at me. well his mom and dad left for a trip today so I am going out to buy ground turkey, chicken, fruit and veggies. I'm throwing out the perogies, and the pumpkin pie. that's one thing I am really excited about with this move is that I will control what is in my kitchen. I won't have junk anymore. it will be so nice. for dinner tonite I'm making turkey burgers. I'm still undecided about the side dish. I want veggies but I want to do something different. any suggestions out there for a good veggie side dish that's not just ur plain corn or broccoli? I want to try something new.

[musculArgirl2]

Good luck with your move!! Exciting for you i'm sure. I think your right it should defintiely be less temptation once you have your own place.

[Boss Man]

Corn is a grain, just to clear that up

For side dishes why not try some boiled mushed carrot. Boiling combined with mushing, has been shown to release 90% of the stored Beta-carotene, versus eating a raw carrot, which yields 30%.

thanks for the tip bm!

i just finished a workout created by yours truly and called it get your ass back in gear. lol i began with a two mile jog the first mile at a 4.5speed then the second mile at a first ever 5.5speed! then i used my boyfriend as my timer to show him the crazy creative ways of using the treadmill Shelly (my former trainer) showed me. thank you Shelly! then i put together my own small circuit training to finish
which included planks, side planks(my planks are still really weak but i will get there!), lunges, squats, bicep curls, shoulder presses, and up right rows. even though my life is going in another direction now, it doesn't mean its time to slack on my workouts. i have to give a shout out to shelly, tom, natalie, and dom for giving me this jump start and teaching me the tools to last a life time. hence lifetime fitness. i will miss how you guys made it fun and changed it up everyday. i am so happy that i had the chance to have people like you train me who you can clearly see have a love for what they do. thank you!

needless to say i got my sweat on. it felt good knowing that i was able to motivate myself and know how to do the exercises properly on my own today and still got in a intense workout! i was able to find a two month membership on groupon for only 20dollars! i will use it in October after i move. then after the two months are up look for another place. lol! i need to save money as much as i can anywhere and anyway possible.
