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.

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.
