LOVE IT! It is super awesome. It shows you how many reps you have done and logs all your efforts. LOVE IT! So today I did physical therapy and did some weights and cardio. Tomorrow it is just cardio for an hour. I feel super excited and can’t wait for my numbers to go down or my endurance to go up! WHOO HOO.

I am a little nervous about how I am going to eat at home when I go there. I will be there for 5 days and I will be staying at my moms house. I know she doesn’t want to derail me, but what will she be making that will help me and not to mention the baby shower food. :O I am buying some fruit so I can munch on that, but that will not keep me satisfied for long. I plan to up the breakfast and keep full throughout the actual shower. I have so much to do and I am sore from working out. lol Time to get off my butt and do some things around the house.

…Seriously I went to have my body composition tested and all that. 81.9lbs of fat.. :O FUCK me. I am embarrassed. I cannot believe it’s gotten this worse. Not only that, but my body fat % was 41! Last year it was 32% maybe lower. How do I know this, I know this because I was working with a recruiter to get into the Army so it was tested weekly. 10% extra fat in a year. What was I thinking?! I know everyone needs a starting point, but I have been lower so it’s harder for me to swallow this time.

SO lets look at the positives of knowing all this

1. I will be able to know how much progress I am making
2. I get to go in and get a physical trainer and a personalized exercise routine
3. It’s motivation to get my ass up and move!

That’s all I really have right now. I am sure there will be more. I get to go to PT today and get my ankle worked on. I love getting that stronger so I can eventually actually run and not eliptical, but RUN. That’s all I have for whining right now.

EDIT

Holy server too busy issues at 3FC! DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! Why is it that the transition happened however many months ago and NOW there are issues?

Alright so now I have an elevated cholesterol level. SUCK. I’m scared, like pretty much terrified. I wanted to start TTC which was only the reason I went in. BAH.. So it’s off to a nutrition class for me and more working out. I’m thinking about doing two a days again. I was doing them with Pauk and it was making me drop fat and weight. I don’t even care about weight numbers. I want this fat gone and my cholesterol to lower and my BP to lower as well. I am giong to go to Yoga class on Tuesdays and then water aerobics at night on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday’s and Wednesday’s I am going to go to the gym and use their elipticals until I can run again. Plus I am going to be going to Physical Therapy on my ankle 3 times a week. I had better have a lower blood pressure.

I have integrated a ton of veggies and fruits. I love me some apple and a little bit of peanut butter. I can get my BP down to 134/95, but I haven’t seen anything below that. I will check in the morning tomorrow. HOPEFULLY it will be down to the 134 again. I am stepping on the scale to just see if my weight is showing any movement and I high 194 today in the morning which is hilarious because just Tuesday at the docs I was 200.2, but I had already eaten and drank a ton of water. It’s alright I am just not wanting to be put on BP meds.

There are these ladies at Water Aerobics that are just hilarious! They are older and german. They talk the whole time and just treat you like their your mom. All sorts of hunny sweetheart and darling. It does make me miss my mom though. Most of the time they go off an do their own thing and don’t listen to the instructor. Oh man to be old and defiant. I hope I am like that. Although I would prefer to be thin and running.

HRM.. Not sure how I feel about that since I have seen 196 and maybe 195, but I didn’t believe that. Maybe water retention. Probably not. I’m going to keep doing what I am doing, but it’s a little discouraging. Hubs and I did go out to eat a lot last paycheck and we are stopping that now. I have been checking my BP and it’s been going down.

I made some delicious chili last night and cannot wait to try it. I am really trying to cut down on the salt and up my exercise. We bought groceries yesterday and I realized that usually will be cooking two meals, one for him and one for me on nights that he wants hamburger helper. I suppose I will just cook healthy meals the night before so I have left overs. Problem solved. I am off to have some chili and hopefully be able to only have a little!

So. Bad news. My hubs and I were going to start TTC in January, but a recent trip to the doctor puts that in a little bit of a bind. The doctor said that until we get the high blood pressure under control that can’t happen. I have never had high blood pressure and now I’m a little freaked out to be told I have it when I am only 22. I am starting to lose weight again, but I don’t get it. I was 225 and my blood pressure was normal. Now that I am starting to get healthy and be smart about what I eat my body decides that this is the time it needs to get HBP! Gah I’m pissed

However I have started jumping on the mini-tramp during commercials when I am watching TV. I am adding just a little walk to every time I take Kota out. I made an appt. with the physical therapist for my ankle. After a couple sessions I think I could start doing the C25K again and hopefully get my BP under control and I won’t have to go onto medications. The hubs isn’t being very supportive in the HBP area I think because he is upset that we cannot try as soon as we hoped! I was hoping to drop a good 25lbs before January in the hopes that I would be able to ovulate on my own with less weight.

So lets see what health problems I have now

• Aortic Bicuspid Valve (born with)
• PCOS
• High Blood Pressure.

SUCKAGE… Now all I can do is get as fit as I can and get as happy as can be.

So in my course to get fit this time my Min Pin feels left out. lol I understand it because before we would walk to my in-laws and then walk home and she LOVED it. Now that I have moved to Colorado from Minnesota we cannot do that and most of the time I just don’t take her with because I don’t want her to get too cold. So instead last night the hubs and I took her out on a walk and she loved it. She came home completely exhausted! I am definitely going to be taking her on days that aren’t too cold.

I ate within my calories yesterday and we went on a long walk, but I must not have been working so hard because my calories burned in that hour was only 334. Which is awesome and more than I would sitting on my butt however, I am used to burning a ton while I do C25K. I made an appointment for a physical to get a referral for physical therapy for my ankle so I can strengthen it and start running again. I really miss it and the results it gave me. It was like going to drop the stress off at the treadmill and leaving it there never to be picked up again. Exercise has always been that for me. I’m a little nervous to walk by myself because last night someone’s car was stolen from our apt. building. We picked this place because I thought it was in the safest area of town. I know I’m a big wuss, but I think we might be moving on post. I know it’s not like there is NO crime on post, but I wanted to move on anyways and finally the hubs agrees.

So tonight I am making a stir-fry recipe for dinner that I got out of a weight watchers book that I thought would be delicious! I am not putting pork in, but chicken because I like chicken more than a pork tenderloin. I never was much for red meat. I am a little nervous as I have never used a Wok and have never made a true stir-fry. I am drinking a ton of water.
