Feel like a real swimmer :)

Filed Under The end of summer is nearing... | 17 Comments

After this morning’s swim I feel like a professional swimmer; but oddly enough swimming next to the “early bird swimmers” I still feel like I don’t pan up against them.  Maybe that’s because they end up doing free-style the entire time, and I like to switch it up so I don’t get bored? :)  Whatever convinces me that I’m doing a good job right?  I decided after yesterday’s disappointment of not being able to do the 2nd 1300 yards, I’d push myself to do it all upfront in one sitting…or shall i say…swimming? lol jk…yesterday i didn’t give up the 2nd time because I was exhausted (although I really was really tired), it was because some stupid high schoolers got in and just started playing around, not doing any swimming in their lane at all!  Really frustrating, because as you can imagine you’re trying to breathe through one side, and get waves of chlorinated water in your mouth, just isn’t fun.  I just got fed up after the 550 yards that I decided to give it up and walk away before I got a nasty mouth with a potential in getting escorted out of the gym.  :o/

I’m exhausted right now, had 2 eggs, tomatoes, onions and 1 eggo for breakfast with a cup of coffee.  So far 80 oz of water and am starting to get hungry for lunch, so thinking about making a salad again, although I’m so tired that I don’t feel like chopping up anything, lol.  LAZY!

I applied to many admin positions I found on craigslist, so I’m hoping I hear back from one of them soon; we’re in dire need of me finding a part-time job, so any prayers would help :)  well enough about those worries, hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!

I’m hurting today…

I’m feeling the impact of yesterday’s exercises, so I guess that’s good for today. :)  At the same time, It’s making me lazy, I’ve accomplished what I did yesterday again today, my goal is to go back for another swim (same distance and strokes) for lunchtime.  I actually made that commitment to myself last night as I lay in bed.  I just ate breakfast (my 2 eggos with some jelly) and had 80 oz of water already, and am working on my next 40 right now.  I also have already set together my lunch…a yummy salad: onions, iceberg lettuce, corn, tomatoes, green onions, grilled chicken breast and some vinegrette.  I realize to some that’s a bit blah, but to me it’s just perfect. :)

I don’t want to burn myself out with exercises, but at the same time I want to take advantage of the spare time and motivation I have right now; so I guess all this workout time isn’t so bad right?  I should definately be able to hit my goal of 25 lbs on Sep 18th….:: crosses fingers ::

each night the hubby asks what my goals are for the following day, when i tell him, the morning of he reminds me of the reason why I’m pushing so hard, and how great of a job I’m doing.  He is constantly complementing me and encouraging me to get out there and complete the exercises that I set myself out to do, so it only helps me. I’m blessed to have such a supportive hubby; LOL which makes me think I better take advantage of it, from what I hear from my parents it dies down after so many years of marriage…but then again my parents have been married for 30 years, so… :)

hope everyone is having a TERRIFIC TACO TUESDAY! :)

WI today, I hit my goal!

Wow,I haven’t been this excited in….wow…forever! I hit my 15 lb goal! :: sighs :: what a relief, especially after being out sick half of last week and all weekend and fearing that foods would be an issue this weekend, I’m so happy and excited that I was able to hit it! I’m so excited I could jump out of my skin. The over all goal now is to lose another 2 lbs this week and every week after for the rest of this month to hit my goal of another 15 by mid next week. :) I pushed my swim a bit harder today because of the excitement of hitting the goal. :) I’m supposed to take pictures in the bikini so that I can see if there’s any physical difference, surprisingly this motivates me much more than the scale. I guess some would say that’s a blessing. :) Hope everyone had a great weekend, and so far a marvelous monday. :)

Frustrated!!!!

Everything seems to be falling this last part of the week; not to sound OVER dramatic or anything. :p The stupid “sinus’” thing doesn’t seem to be lighting up, so I’m thinking maybe it’s a slight cold, and my awesome defense system is trying to fight it down, but I think I’m starting to lose the battle. And because it’s been SOOOO freakin hot, I haven’t really been able to rest up and just relax, because God knows it’s hard to get comfortable when the heat is just unbearable. Hopefully this weekend, with the hubby home he’ll want to put the AC on, and I won’t feel the guilt of having to pay the bill. :)

So I haven’t been exercising since Wednesday because of this ugly feeling, and my body is starting to feel it, I feel really old and achy. lol but hopefully it’s because I don’t feel good….??? Since no exercise, the food ordeal is REALLY important…so I’m praying to the high Gods that I have the courage and strength to say NO when I need to, and only a bite when I know that it’s what I need to do…

Hope everyone has a great weekend and it’s as awesome as you want! :) HAPPY FRIDAY!

P.S. Thanks Delita and Feathers for your help with the Ticker, finally got it working!

Sinus’? I think not…

Last night, I started feeling really achy, so I thought maybe just sore from the run that morning. I woke up this morning with a cough, and a sore throat, took some Ny-Quil once the hubby left for work and slept until 11am, surprisingly I don’t feel anymore rested. I really hope I’m not coming down with anything. I haven’t taken any meds, since I’m trying to stay “clean” of chemicals right now…but am thinking if tomorrow it doesn’t get any better, I just might. I don’t like how I feel by not exercising in the middle of the week. :/ Hopefully we’ll be able to get to bed early tonight, some resting might do me some good. :) Hope everyone else is doing well…

Hopefully this is the answer…

Wow, it’s been such a long time since I’ve been active with this website, and I must say it’s been long overdue. This entire summer has been dedicated to losing weight, since this is the first summer since high school that I haven’t had to work or go to school. I feel amazing, and am told often that I look like I’ve lost a lot of weight, but unfortuantly the scale only shows 2 lbs less than when I started. My fiance is positive that I’ve lost a minimum of 10 lbs and am embarrassed to step on the scale to show him the truth. I keep telling myself, as long as I feel amazing, then that’s all that matters, but in reality I would really LOVE to be able to wear the clothes I want and get into the bikini that I’ve been dying for this entire summer. :: sighs :: so I’m hoping this site can give me motivation to eat a bit healthier and stay active when school is just around the corner. Hope everyone is doing well on this fab hump day. :) xoxo to all.
