Oh How to find the time….

Hey all.  :)

I just opened the coolest thing ever today!  I have been having a heck of a time getting to the gym since school started back up again…. I am getting in about 2 days a week now… Ugh- that is about half of what I was doing… I kept thinking how awesome it would be to have a machine at home to workout on when I have time to get in a quick 30 minutes but not the two hours it takes to go to gym….  My house is sooo tiny that I could never get a full size machine in here… I just happened to find a mini elliptical at amazon.com that I thought would be perfect.  I ordered in on Friday even though my husband didn’t seem that optimistic about it….  I got it today and put it together in about 5 minutes… I started rolling…. I LOVE this thing already…. I did 30 minutes during the re-run of biggest loser tonight and my thighs and bum were burning… I love the burn cause I know it’s working!  I think this is absolutly the best thing I ever bought…. It only weighs 30 pounds and  I can shove it in the corner when I am not using it.  It doesn’t have arms but I didn’t have a problem with balance….
I will keep ya updated about how awesome my new machine is!  I will attach a pic so you can see it!  :)

talk to ya later…. :)

Pink Team’s Rockin’

Hey all….

I love my new team for the 20 something’s bl challenge… :)  Pink is such and awesome color it makes sense the girls are so chatty and supportive!  I love all the support-  That is why brought back the challenges!  I have always loved doing them… I think the benefit outweighs any of the “extra work”.  :)

This week has been going GREAT!  I have been tracking still and hope to see a loss at the scale on Sat… I have orientation for the next level of nursing course on Saturday-  Classes start back in full swing on Monday… I have homework to do before then… LOL  A lot of hw actually, but I am trying to get in some extra relation while I can….. Once the program is back in to the swing of things it will be hetic like before- I know it…

Today is my husband and my two month anniversary!  Yeah!  :)  I just love him so much!  He is also such a support to me in weigh loss and nursing school actually…. he was the one he pushed me to not work so I could do the program right!  :)  SO far it is working well…. LOL  I am making a yummy dinner of salmon, garlic mashed root vegetables, and quiona pilaf.  :)  It will be super yummy… I can’t wait.

We are also going to head to the gym as well… I am going to try running again… Physical Therapy has finally said I can try again… If there is no pain. I might be done with PT and maybe can start trying to run again…. :)  We will see how it goes..

I hope your all have a super awesome day out there…  :)

Happy New Year!!

Hi Blog!  :)

Sorry I haven’t updated in a bit…. Ugh-  I keep meaning to update more often!  Maybe that should be my New Year’s Resolution- :)

My meeting this past week was really good-  We focused on what we have accomplished!  :)  I really enjoyed the meeting topic and celbrating what we have done-

This past year:

I took my measurements this morning as I haven’t done it since Aug. for some reason-  LOL  Here is the updated stats-

I have a new plan for tracking since this past week!  I bought a special notebook, stickers, cool pens and rewarded myself with a sticker each day I tracked… I tried planning ahead the night before and it worked ok… I am just proud that I have tracked every day this week!  :)  :)  I can’t wait to weigh in tomorrow!

:)  Check back with you all SOON!  Promise!

I am like a cookie monster yesterday and today….  I didn’t really track either… I was so geared up to track and what not…  Hmmmmmm-  Tomorrow, I will get that tracker out!  At least I am doing well on my exercise goals…I am getting ready to head to the gym tonight for a jog-

What are you all up too?  Doing ok?  I hope so!

Motivation?

I heard on a podcast the other day that the best way to keep your motivation level up is to write your plan down.

So that’s what I am going to do- =)

  1. Count points each and every day!
  2. Eat the minimum # of points daily.
  3. Use some flex points each week.
  4. Choose fillings at least 1/2 of the time.
  5. Eat every 2-3 hours to keep from binging.
  6. Wake up 30 minutes early to plan out the day and make a good breakfast.
  7. Workout on Cardio 5 days a week!- Go for at least 30 minutes but shoot for 1 hour.
  8. Lift weights 3 days a week.
  9. Get rewarded from John every 5lbs lost.
  10. Avoid unplanned eating episodes if possible!
  11. Attend meetings every single week!

You can do this, Tracy!

Your such a hottie, let’s keep it that way!  :) :) :)

Sunday….

I should be studying for my test tomorrow, but I just don’t feel like it… I am tired and my back hurts.  I think after I finish this post up I am going to go to bed and get up early to study some more… I studied quite a while yesterday and I feel out of it today.

I had a good work out today @ gym and tracked all my points 2nd day in a row!  I am getting ready to reward myself with a good book for a bit.  :)

Night-

Hey All….

I should be studying right now for my exam on Monday- urinary elmination and Infection.  I am tired of listening to my teacher drone on about infection on the online lecture–  I like it when we have face to face lectures instead…. Ugh-

I weighed in again today with another sad gain… 0.4 added to my 0.8 last week equals a 1.2 lb gain in the last two weeks… I have been married two weeks too!  I just need to plan, plan, plan & track, track, track.  So far I have track all day… still have some to go, but you get the idea.  I have planned on giving myself a daily reward for tracking-  This week it’s 30 minutes of pleasure reading if I succeed.  :) :) I haven’t had time to read a good book since I started the accelerated nursing program started.

How are all of you doing?  I hope better than I ….  I know I am not giving up if I feel lazy and tired about weight loss/exercise lately!   I am so happy and excited about other areas of my life…I wish I had that feeling again about weight loss!  On a positive note- I have lost 60 pounds since I started this in Aug. 08.  SWEET!!!

Have a nice rest of the weekend!

I’M Alive!

Hey all-

I haven’t updated my blog in forever!  :(

I have been adjusting to my new schedule at nursing school.  I think I finally have a handle on that and the overall unknown of it all-  We don’t have a real regular schedule.  We are in clinicals now-  We just finished our 2nd week!  I feel really unsure all the time, but I am enjoying it overall.  The class portion is A LOT of work because it is an accelerated program.  We do topics in a day that the traditional program does in a week-  I thought I knew what I was signing up for but I really didn’t!  Some of the 32 students have kids, and jobs… I don’t know how they do that!  I don’t have either… I just have to find time to take care of me and my fiance!

The wedding is in 20 days!! I can’t believe how excited I am…. :)  Most of the big stuff is done- I am just doing all the little DYI decortating projects I took on for myself.  I am working on making candy bags for favors right now so i have bags upon bags of hersey kisses in the house!  It was hell last week….  I have a goal for this week so I have been able to avoid them!  :)

While I was gone I have really been maintaining around 190-  For that past 6 weeks I would lose a bit, gain a bit, or stay the same at my meetings.  I think that is pretty good considering everything I have going on right now… I am not going to lie-  I know I could have done better, I haven’t tracked that whole time!  My goal this week though is to track-  That is all… I did all day yesterday so I am on a roll!  :)  Also I am going to go back to blogging at least once a week-  I love being able to look back at all my previous success and troubles… for that 6 weeks I have nothing to look at because I didn’t make time to blog-  Honestly, I haven’t been making time for myself, but I am going to now.  It is important-  How can I be a GREAT Nurse if I can’t even take care of myself??

Well, I have to plan my shopping list for the week!  I am going to get some healthy choices that are quick to make!  I want to make it easy on me ya know-

Have a Great Week All!

Tracy-

BIG NEWS!!!

SO I am know I am super lame because I have updated this sooner after we got back from the trip, but I have awesome news!!

John asked me to marry him while we were in NYC… He proposed when we were on the 102nd floor of the empire state building!  I of course said yes…. LOL  I was so excited and happy!

We have set a date of Nov 7, 2009 because we both agreed we didnt want a long engagement-  I am not in the throws of planning a wedding that is rapidly apporaching on a tight (i mean tight) budget… I am going a bit crazy with planning and it has only been just over a week…. ahhhhhhh….  I feel better now… I am pretty sure I have the places for ceremony and reception set just need to get money from my fiance and mom to pay since I have no money to contribute…. Yikes!  You all know I am starting the accelerated nursing program in about a month- John said I couldn’t use my loan money at all so I got nothing…. LOL  That is what makes it difficult…

We are going to see his mom this week and I hope she offers to contribute… Maybe she can pay for a dj as they are really expensive!

I will add pics from the trip later today-  I am work right now so I can’t spend too much time…. he he he
