recipe REMIX

today was my first day at the gym! I forgot what it was like to sweat! But it was really fun! Going with my co-worker has made it so much easier. And Jose working out has make it easier as well. I love that I am doing this with my family, the only difficult thing is that we are so far away =(

I have been addicted to watching Food Network lately- I dunno why, cos I am not even thinking about eating anything they make! lol.

Tomorrow is Jose's birthday!!! He will be 28! It's our first birthday as a married couple =) I'm really excited. He has a pretty fun day planned! Going to play football with his friends, seeing the Book of Eli, and dinner. =) I can't wait it's gonna be fun!

I am thinking of going to the gym while he is at football, but I need time to make his cake, so that may not happen., which is okay. If I can squeeze it in, I definitely will!

I have lost 9 lbs! I just have 1 more to go!!!!! two weeks, that's not bad, right?

Tonight Jose is planning on eating bad, and tomorrow as well, I'm sure. I need to stick with eating healthy, I'm not gonna blow it all in one meal. Plus, MY birthday isn't until the 25th=) Then, I can't promise anything. lol.

it's a two-fer

So,

I have been frequenting the dentist lately- it is getting expensive! I had to have a temporary crown put on last time, and it kinda hurts still =( I have to go back and have a wisdom tooth pulled =( That's in February.

I have been doing really well with exercising and eating healthy. Yesterday, I walked with my co-worker around a lake, it was so beautiful. I haven't been outside for a long time, and it makes me sad to think of what I've been missing out. So I will be adding outdoorsy activities to my new year's resolution list.

I feel so much more energy to do things! It's so foreign to me! But I love it!

I am going to the smithsonian this weekend! I'm so super excited! Also going to see Avatar at the Imax- I've never been to an Imax theater!

Today My coworkers and I walked around the store- there is a "racetrack" and it is 1/4 of a mile. We went on our fifteen minute break and just zoomed through the store! We walked a mile. It was really awesome. We can exercise at work! on our two fifteens it will be two miles a day. I'm super excited about that. So Monday Wednesday Friday we are gonna walk outside, and Tuesday and Thursday we are gonna do the walks on our breaks. It's so easy. I don't know why I let myself get this bad. It's gonna take some hard work to get to where I want to be, but it's going to be worth it. I have such a STRONG support that it's making it so much easier than I thought! Im so glad that we are all doing it together.

For dinner tonight I'm making rosemary chicken, brown rice, and salad. :)

Biggest Loser

I remembered I remembered! Woot. =)

So- Jose and I have started a friendly competition with my family. =) We are doing the biggest loser, family style. Everyone puts 20 dollars in, and whoever has the highest percentage of weight loss at the end (I think it ends May 7th?) GETS THE WHOLE PRIZE!!! There's quite a few people doing it, so it's gonna be 240 to whoever is the BIGGEST LOSER =)

I have to say, I've had sooo much more energy to do things since Saturday when I started. it's crazy. I actually went to the grocery store and grocery shopped today!!! And for ME to do that on a WEEKDAY, by myself... is pretty impressive. Haha. Jose and I always go on the weekend, or we go together. I just hate going by myself, but I just need to make it happen. It has been lovely having fresh fruit and vegetables to eat! and I've been making such good things and they are delicious. I got some measuring cups because I mean business! Haha.

Well our Wii Fit board broke last night =( I'm really sad about that. Jose bought the Wii Fit for me for Valentine's Day last year, and it's already broken. So we are trying to figure out what to do about that.

Well... time to make dinna.

repeat

weyellll...

It has been a YEAR since I last posted. How sad! I kept saying how I was going to do so much better! So I just won't say anything and see how it goes... lol

I think I want to turn this into a more personal blog than just strictly weight loss blog. And I say that cos I'm pretty sure no one is gonna read it! LOL.

Anywho... So here's to hoping I can remember to keep up with this blog... lol.

Hooooly Smokes

Okay. I am lame. I can't keep up with this blog thing! But I'm going to TRY to be a little more adament about it. Notice how I said TRYYY.
So... I am just getting over being sick.. That's been fun.
Working lots.
The weather is getting cold.
I can't wait to see my family!!!!!!! Christmas is just around the corner. That means I need to get shoppin!
What else.. I went out to eat last night with Jose and our friend and I FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA DIE which threw me into a health concious mode. I seriously uttered the words, "I'm NEVER EATING ANYTHING UNHEALTHY AGAIN" hahahah we all know how that goes down.... it just doesn't. Haha. but my plan is to be more health concious and EXERCISE. WHY CAN'T I JUST GET IT RIGHT!??!!? I just keep getting fatter. Some days my attitude sucks, but I try to stay positive. It's not easy, but I keep thinking... how awesome will it be to actually at least fit my clothes again??? hahaa.
feels like a nice cold day to stay inside. I don't have any plans this weekend. I kinda want to do an activity. Or go hang out or something. Anywho.
I'll try really hard to be more frequent with the posting, and even try to post pictures on here. I actually have one of jose that I want to put up, but I have to wait till I get home cos I can't put it on the computer at work.
Until then..
I leave you in the utmost anticipation.... wait for it....

bippity boppity boo

OKAY.
So last night was weigh in number three... I've still lost on every weigh in... but last night I only lost .6 so I'm down 5.8 lbs all together. I really felt like last week was a crappy week as far as the diet goes. I really need to plan everything out.
I also decided this is not going to be just a weight loss blog but my own personal blog. So who's excited!!!?!?!?!
Jose got me flowers on Friday... the cutest thing ever... I love that man.
He has been doing weight watchers with me and I hope he doesnt' mind me sharing this, but he has lost 9 lbs so far! I'm so proud of him... he's working really hard. He helps me a lot.
I'm going to make it a goal to wake up at 620 tomorrow to go running.
I'm supposed to get our Verizon phones today at work so I keep looking out the window every time I hear a truck go by. I feel like a little kid on Christmas! Haha. but I am getting an EnV2 so I'm wayyy excited.
This weekend was my first weekend at the Photography job. It was amazing. I learned so much.... I'm really excited to be doing this. This will really help with my plans for the future of opening my own photo and make up studio. I really need to do some studying up and maybe find some classes around here.
So, I have a lot of spuradic (sp?) thoughts going on in this particular blog, but I just recently decided it was an everything in one blog, so I am just trying to put all my thoughts down.
Jose's mom is amazing. I love her so much! She has been really supportive of us and helps us out however she can, and I am always happy to do whatever I can for her. I consider them my family. I am so happy I can't even explain... Especially in a relationship like ours, different ethnicities, religions, etc, just everything pointing against things working out... our respective families have been more than accepting and I just wish they knew how happy it makes us. That's so important to me. But Jose is such a wonderful person, who couldn't help but love him? =)
I'm really excited to have him meet the rest of my family, especially my mom and brothers and cousins. Ryan and Tyler I think you guys would get along with him great- he's a big star wars nerd =) And he's really into computer/business stuff. I'm really glad that your families have blogs also, because I really love seeing how the babies are growing and how your beautiful families are doing =) so before this blog turns into a shout out... I should prolly get back to work but there is a chance that I may post again later today <3

cookie cookie cookie it's good enough for me

So today is Friday. I'm changing my name back to Meyer people! I already have it on my license, and got the bank account updated and I am going into the Social Security office to make it official!
I got a new job!!!! I will be a photographer! How exciting! I'm definately curious to see what this will bring for me.
I'm also working at the office managing, but this photography job will be part time.
Yesterday I got the best compliment ever!
I made dinner last night, some roasted potatoes and chicken, and a bunch of people came over and they really liked it... so that was pretty awesome- something I'm not so insecure about any more. I used to HATE to cook. =)
