Whoops!

I have been doing some activities, but haven't been keeping up with the blogging. I bought Just Dance 3 and it's really fun and has a lot more features in it than Just Dance 2. Some of the songs are meh, and a lot of the dancing is more complicated than Just Dance 2, so I'm excited to play them enough to remember them and be good at them. I have a lot of the dances to songs from Just Dance 2 memorized, so it's always hard to not do them when I hear those particular songs :)
Yesterday I was really motivated to be active! I got my nails done and ran a few other errands; then I came home and my parents were out to dinner so I had the whole house to myself. I lifted some weights, tanned, did 20 minutes of Zumba, and 6 minute Hip Hop abs. I also cleaned and later did some extra curricular exercise with my honey, HEH. Hey, I think that definitely counts cause it is for sure a workout! Haha.
Lately, I've been eating a little differently as well. I used to not like eggs very much, but for the past 4 nights in a row I have had one egg and a glass of chocolate milk for dinner. I crave them every day now! It's such a small meal but it keeps me feeling full so I love it. Not sure how healthy it is for the cholesterol and whatnot to eat an egg every day but I'm sure it's better for me than a lot of other things.

Super excited for our New Year's Eve partay! We have a lot planned and I hope everything works out. And then it will be the new year, which means time to kick my exercising / watching my food intake for a while because as of today, I am at only 5 more pounds to lose in 18 days (January 17th is the goal date that this app on my phone gave me, and it's been working great as a motivator so far cause I've lost 4-almost 5 pounds since I began tracking with it) to get to my goal I set about 50 or so days ago. I also am continuing to make my "I weigh less than I have for almost a year" number get lower and lower and I'm FINALLY out of the range that I was stuck in forever!!! I WAS SOOOO HAPPY TO SEE THIS, you have no idea. Hopefully this will be motivation to never be in that range again. Wow, in the short time it took me to type up this entry, I've already downed 24 ounces of water. I love my new water bottle, I totally recommend a Camelback. I love that you have to bite the straw haha. I'm craving water a lot more because of it, too, which is excellent!
KEEP GOING, SAM!Labels: fitness
Whoops!

Uhh, long time no post (or exercise). :( that's right, I haven't exercised in a while. Been busy dogsitting and getting ready for Christmas (which was awesome, by the way. I hope whoever happens to read this had a wonderful holiday season as well). However, I still somehow weigh less than I have for a long time!! I'm not sure how but maybe some of the extra wandering all over work and shopping malls recently has been my extra exercise. My body fat percentage is also the lowest it has been since I began recording all of that over a year ago. I'm hoping to get back into the groove of exercise and blogging though now that things should get back to normal here pretty soon. I start school again next week, bleh. I get out of classes an hour later than I did last quarter, but maybe since I don't have class until later in the day, maybe I can wake up and get my exercise out of the way each morning. I just finished doing the 20 minute Zumba DVD, which I haven't done in a while. It was fun and went by really fast, however, I think I might try my hand at the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred again and see if I can get past the first 10 days. I did 10 days the first time I tried it then I lost motivation but again, maybe this blog will help me. I think after a big ice cold drink of water in a second, I might even go ahead and pop the Zumba Flat Abs DVD in the PS3! I have some extra energy now so yay.
Edit: Scratch that Zumba Flat Abs; I found Hip Hop Abs on my computer for a 6 minute ab workout and it was awesome and kicked my butt haha. I can feel it though so I'm totally going to start doing that more often haha, damn! I also forgot to mention that I bought a new water bottle (since I somehow lost my favorite one when I was camping with Chaz & Co. :( ) and I have been drinking a lot more water! But I'm still constantly thirsty and I have really dry skin so I need to moisturize as well. But I just bought a Hello Kitty humidifier on Amazon! Yay! Here's my new Camelback water bottle from Target.

Rest Days
Sunday, December 11, 2011 @ 1:51 AM
Friday and Saturday ended up being rest days, I guess because I was busy and whatever. Back at it when I get home from work tonight though. New measurements on Monday. Also, I weighed myself Saturday morning and my weight/BF% is the lowest it has been in like half a year, so that's exciting. Keep going!! I need to focus on what I eat now, though.

Results SHOWING?! ALREADY?!
Friday, December 9, 2011 @ 12:59 PM
Today has been great so far. Woke up to an awesome sunrise (although I wasn't feeling too grand, having stayed up til about 4:30am dilly dallying on my iPhone, then having to be up and at work at 8am), then I made a little boy's day by searching all over at work and finding him the last box of candy canes that had the blue ones in it. He gave me a big hug and his grandma thanked me profusely, it was really cute. But THEN Tom (one of the managers at work) made my day when he stopped me in the breakroom and said "Can I ask you a question? It's personal!" and I said "Sure" and he quietly asked "Are you losing weight?" and I burst out with "YES! I'm trying to anyway. I have been working out consistently for a few days." He said that he noticed a few weeks ago and when I had walked by him and Jeff (another manager he was talking to at that moment), Jeff asked Tom if he thought I was losing weight too. So at least 2 people have noticed changes already! THAT'S SO EXCITING! Any motivation is so helpful and it totally made my day, although I haven't really noticed much difference myself, but I see myself every day and that's the main difference. So I will not be discouraged if things are not instantaneous, I just have to keep working hard. Chaz will be here tonight so I will most likely make him play Just Dance 2 with me to secretly get some exercise in while he's here, hehe!

I Hate Thinking of Titles

I was very productive today! I washed my bed sheets and went through my side table and my bookshelf and I'm pretty much just working my way around my room to try to clean things out and consolidate and minimize everything so my room isn't so cluttered. My closet will be the worst part, I think. I have waaay too many clothes. A lot of the time when it looks like a bomb went off in my room, it's mainly just clothes everywhere. So when I move into my own house, a big closet separate from my room is a MUST! Hopefully connected to the bathroom somehow would be awesome. Anyway, results!
I added
100 jumping jacks to the mix today!
1 set from the Ab sheet
Elliptical - Weight Loss 1 ~ 30 minutes - 1.05 miles - 351 calories
(I really need to get Netflix updated on the Wii so I can watch shows and go longer)

Time! Time! Who's Got The Time!

I have decided: screw time, just try to do at least a mile each time. Did mine for the day. Now for some abs and maybe some yoga! Need to find my DS though. I highly recommend Let's Yoga (game for the Nintendo DS). I love using it for routines and it has a great tracker on it as well.
I have added a few (right now) meaningless pages to the top of the blog, don't mind them for now.
Today's results! Some elliptical and a set from the ab sheet.

My name is Sam and I'm a 25 year old lazy girl from Ohio, hoping to turn myself into a hottie before it's too late! I currently work 3 jobs while I try to find my place in the working world. It's hectic and a little discouraging at times but I would love to use a blog to gather a community of friends and followers to help motivate and inspire me to live a better, more fulfilled life!
