Hello, again!

Hey there! I have not blogged in sucha LONG time! So so sorry!! Isn't it crazy that I'm still stressed even though Spring semester is over with?! In fact I haven't really been working out. No bueno.

The other day while reading my email, I came across this one:

Thanks for choosing to be a valued Life Time member!
In support of this commitment, I am pleased to award you with $100 complimentary myLT Buck$, which have been credited to your myLT.com account.

Crazy huh? Sounds like I really need to get my lil behind at the gym!!

Love,

Motivation

I had posted this on FB:

Alright, I'm off to Zumba :)

Its Now Official

To be completely honest, I signed up to ride for the 25th Annual MS Bike Ride in January, 3 months ago. I thought that this would help motivate me to get in shape by having a goal and a deadline. I was kind of on the fence but I thought that it would be a win win for me and MS and plus my aunt, who I look up to and plan to write a post about, convinced me to do it with her. 


Here I am three months later and about three months left. I have been going to the gym each week (not as much as I had hoped) and watching my diet (with little success). But seriously, no more of this crap. I know I have said this so many times and I'm getting sick of it myself. I want to be in shape so I really need to work hard at it. I have to sacrifice and be strict. I am announcing this to make it official in my head in my life and to all of you. I have three months left. I can do it. 

If you aren't aware of MS, click here for the National MS Society website (http://www.nationalmssociety.org/index.aspx). 

I am planning to be a part of the MS Bike Ride event in June, but I need your help. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS. They simultaneously fund research for a cure while also helping people who currently live with MS lead more fulfilling lives. 

Please help by making a donation or joining me to end MS by clicking here.

If you are interested in sending a donation by check, just let me know and I can email you the information. 


Thank you guys. I really appreciate it.

T-Shirt

I had ordered some shirts for work and they arrived this last week. I HAD to try mine on to make sure it fit and all.

Honestly, it looks alright. I wish it was longer BUT it will definitely look better when I look better. When I'm in shape. Man, I feel like I've been working hard these last couple of months. As always, my diet is the major contributor. I need to work on getting it more healthy. Chocolate definitely cant and shouldnt tempt me every day! haha

Love,

Warning! You may get jealous...

Diet on Check!

Woohooo! Now I can make sure to measure my food before I stuff my face :)

On another note, working out 5x a week is some hard stuff. But I'm secretly loving it. Doing it completely right this time around :)

Love,

Beautiful Sight

The great thing about going to the gym super early is being able to see this:

Camera phones dont take the best pictures, but you get the gist, right?

Love,

Holy Workouts Batman

Pretty sure I worked out five times this week. FIVE TIMES! Not 2, not 3, BUT FIVE!! That's like a world record for me. AND each day that I worked out I wore heels. It was an all around GREAT week for me.

Monday - Barbell Strength, pretty much my favorite weight lifting class
Wednesday - 30 mins weight lifting, 30 mins cardio
Thursday - Personal Trainer session. Oh! That's right, I finally decided to use my LT Bucks for 5 Personal Trainer sessions. I have 4 more to go :)
Friday -  30 mins weight lifting, 30 mins cardio
Saturday - ZUMBA!! Doesnt even feel like a work out. I LOVE IT!! 


I plan to pull a 5 day work out again this week. AND I plan to official start my 14 diet on Monday. EEEEK!

Wish me luck!!

Love,

Gym Pass Reinstated

I'm thinking it is easier for me to post my McFatty Mondays on Saturdays - mainly because they are a lot less hectic. 


Basically the big news is that Billy and I got our gym membership back! Yay! We havent had it in like whole year!! (boy it felt like so much longer) So this past week I went three times and did cardio. It was actually very rewarding (pretty sure I went to bed super early - 10:30 pm - lol). 


BUT, I havent even mentioned the best part. When we signed up, they gave us LT Bucks (oh, we got to Lifetime Fitness). Billy said that I could have them and these are a few of the options that I can use them for:

• Personal Training Session
• Swimming Lesson
• Pilates Session
• Rock Climbing (Belay) Training
• Fitness Training
• Weightloss Training
• Yoga Workshop

SO many options!! I'm going nuts here. But Im super excited to finally get in shape!

Was it Monday Again?

I had initially titled this post, "Is it Monday Again" but guess what it's Saturday! ha! So to answer the question, why yes! It WAS Monday Again. It seems like I have been slacking in the McFatty department, but honestly, I am trying to figure out my goals for McFatty. What do I want to accomplish in 2011? What am I gonna do to get there? Its two weeks into the year and I still have not put my finger on it. Is it jus me or did December fly by?

SO, hang on tight while I try to figure out what I want :)

One Whole Week Off

So Billy wasn't feeling too good last week, and being my partner in crime, we decided to take off a week from Insanity.

Aw, it was wonderful. No waking up early. No muscle pains. No weigh ins.

Then, Monday came and we got back on the Insanity wagon.


Many people have asked if I'm seeing any results. And honestly, I'm not. But also, I'm not watching what I eat very closely. So I've decided to step back on writing down everything I eat by using Weight Watchers. Maybe then I can see results :)


I asked Billy if he is seeing any results with himself. And he also said no. But I have yet to hear here's plan ;)

My Knee is Going Insane

After 12 days of doing insanity, my knee is going berserk. It HURTS so bad!! And what makes it worse, driving my lil manual car. Not fun. Other than that, it's going good. I've noticed a few results and I'm keep on pushing.


Billy, on the other hand, says he feels good. Nothing to complain about, hehe


Only 18 more days, plus 7 days of recovery :)
 

Insanity

My friend had mentioned she was gonna start Insanity. Two weeks later, I asked her about it cuz I wasn't quite sure what it was:




Insanity is definitely the word for it. My whole body aches and it has only been 5 days. I cannot even imagine how I will feel after 60 days. 

I'm very happy that Billy is doing it with me. He is keeping me at it. You never know, I could have already chickened out lol

Wish us luck!!

What Now?

After months of trying to exercise and eat right, I really do not want it to go to waste. So Ima keep eating right, watching what I eat and hopefully exercise regularly. I need to be in shape and look good. 

If only I could be as obsessive as my beautiful and best friend:

Gisselle :)

Satisfied

Three months came and went. 

The final verdict: -3 lbs

Basically I lost one pound per month

And when I think about that, I really could go on and on about how much better I could have done; more exercise I could have done; healthier choices I could have made... But you know what?

I am happy. 

I can definitely see some differences in the way I look and feel. And honestly, when I look in the mirror, I actually check myself out. Dont get me wrong I dont say "dammmmmnnnn, I'm looking hot" lol But that's because I'm not at the point where I can say that. haha But the most important thing, is that I am getting there and for right now, I am happy 

The Last Week

Can you believe that my birthday is this Friday?! So I weighed myself last Friday and I was surprised to see 167. Yup that's right I didnt gain anything and I didnt lose anything. Which is good in its own way. 

This is my last week so I have to make it count. So far, I havent exercised or anything :( I better get crackin on it!

Would you believe me if I said...

that I totally feel like I slacked off this week??

If fact, I havent even weighed myself!! I'm jus so nervous. I would really like to see the number go down and fast! but I've decided that being healthy is some HARD stuff. Why do some girls get is so easy and get to eat whatever the heck they want and not gain one pound?? How do others have such control in what they eat? Do they miss out on deliciously yummy chocolate icecream for example Moose Tracks (OMG Have you tried that yet??? Its beyond delicious. Its sooooo good!!!! NO JOKE If you love peanut butter and chocolate, Check it out!).


Last week's goals:
Goal 1: This last week, I exercised 2x, HOWEVER, school started and I walked ALL OVER campus. I'm not even kidding. I was so outta breathe and tired and desperately thirsty. So I am counting that as a half work out.  
Goal 2: While tracking my food with WW, I have been surprised at some of the stuff I eat and how many "points" it's worth. For example, my soy protein shakes. 5 points! Thats about a fourth of my points. But in other good news... well maybe, I definitely need to add more veggies to my diet.  
Goal 3: Sugar intake... did we forget about Moose Tracks?? Of course, but at least that was the only drastic cave in to sugar.
Goal 4: Need to drink more water, any suggestions??

This week's goals:
- Exercise 3 times
- Track what I eat with WW
- Control sugar intake
- Drink more water

I'm sure yall will want to know my current weight by now, but unfortunately, it will have to wait until the morning... to keep the same schedule and all. Farewell and good night!!

::walks upstairs and goes to sleep::

Not a good WW week

I really honestly thought I ate pretty good. But according to WW, I suck at eating ;) This last week I did the Flex Plan from WW. Basically, I am allowed a daily amount a points and 35 weekly points. After my first week of tracking what I eat with WW, I went negative 4.5 points!! This week will definitely be better. I will check the PointValue before I stuff my face :)

Weight last week:169.8

Last week goals:
- Pretty sure I exercised 1x last week. I'm so lazy! I set my alarms, I pushed snooze like 50 times til finally I jus turn it off. Ugh. Why is it so hard to get up in the morning?!?
- Tracked what I eat with WW!! Woot Woot!
- Maybe I shouldnt mention that I went to a birthday party this past weekend? Oh, and, it was a kid birthday party :(
- Had some good drinking water days. That's a plus!!

This week's goals:
- Exercise 3 times
- Track what I eat with WW
- Control sugar intake
- Drink more water

Current weight (as of today): 168 (lost 1.8 pounds!!)

One Month Left

There is jus one more week left til my birthday and I could have done more to lose weight. So I will jus have to cram it all in one month :)

Weight last week:168.6 


Last week goals:
- I exercised 2x instead of 3, BUT I walked up and down 1.5 flights of starts
- I did track what I ate, but I couldnt find my WW tools til TODAY! So I will definitely do it this week
- Um, ya, I had a doughnut and icecream and cake :( Too many birthdays this weekend!
- Def should be drinking more water

On Saturday, I went to Massage Envy with my MIL, my cousin Wendy and cousin Carol. We all got one hour massages. Oh gosh, one hour has NEVER felt that great!! It was so relaxing and rejuvenating that I came home and passed out for 2 hours. It was AWESOME! Happy Birthday Joyce!!

This week's goals:
- Exercise 3 times
