3月12日 Hi allSo the competion is coming close to the end and I realized I probably was not a big contender. I still feel I am doing much better than I would have ever done if this contest was not the thing that motivated me. I really appreciate the get up and go attitude that is has given me. I already have more energy then I ever did before.
I want to wish all of you every bite of luck on contining luck on your weight lose.
Thank you america!
Lorrie 2月29日 inchesHello all man it has been awhile since I have been on I thought it was just like a couple of days ago.
So I am really really excited I took my measurements and I lost an inch on each arm and 1 3/4 inches on my waist which is totally exciting!!! I am everyday totally loving going to the gym it makes me feel really good it is not as much of a chore as I thought it was. I actually find my self making excuses to not do other things so I can go to the Gym.
I still have not seen alot of weight gone yet I have like I said seen inches!!!
I really appreciate the support I have been getting from several frineds and my husband he has encouraged me from the begining and on a daily basis says how proud he is.
That is all for now keep up the good work all!!! 2月13日 The upper climb is still at hand...I found out this week that I get to move on to insulin for my diabetis. I have been diabetic for seventeen years but, have controlled it with oral medication. I suppose it's inevetable that I would come to this stage in the game of life. After I was done feeling sorry for myself I realized it's just another reason to keep going to the gym and make more of a difference in myself. I need to look at it as a motivating tool rather than a life sentence. So in a funny, screwy kind of way it's a blessing that it has made me want to get off my butt and do more. So I will say thank you God and I trust your wisdom in all things. Even the ones that are harder to understand. lol
I feel the same as Lorrie about the pounds not coming off. It's frustrating and discouraging to a point but, it feels good to put on jeans that were a little too snug before. So I guess I will take progress where I came get it. lol
thanks for checking in and God bless,
Susan man this is horribleSo coming back after a week of vacation then hitting the gym with Susan was torture. I really appreciate susan and her knowledge of what muscles to work and what to do and how. She is really mean though she wouldn't let me slack first day back at the gym and is making sure I do certain muscle groups on days we go to the gym by ourselves. While I was watching Biggest Loser last night I couldn't help but become jealous. I look at these contestants and keep thing they are lossing weight so fast and I am working out alot and not losing anything weight wise but I must be losing inches because certain things fit better, HOWEVER it does get very discouraging when the numbers don't follow with the work you are doing. Well hopefully I will start to lose the numbers soon, I refuse to give up!!!!
Thanks Lorrie
2月11日 i AM BACKI am back and I couldn't have had a nicer week for a wedding. I was in Orlando Florida while the rest of Wisconin froze under snow.
I was so proud of myself. I went through an entire week and Ate healthy choices and I must had lost some weight my jeans are starting to get looser. Susan and I were talking prior to my trip on how we were getting discouraged because the pounds were not just melting away like everyone else but we are loosing inches which I am very very happy about!! It is a start to a whole new begining.
so long for the moment!!
1月29日 getting closer by the daySo apparently I stress about everything, which I have to say is all totally stress worthy, this week I am really really stressed I haven't really lost alot of weight yet but I can tell I have lost some inches, My scrub pants are starting to really fit alot better.
You have those days where things are just not going your way and you feel that you want to give up because the pounds are just not melting off like they do for the Biggest loser contestant. I just have to keep telling myself I am doing this for myself not just for this contest. I think that helps alot. When you know you are doing this as a life style change and not just for a short term.
Well I will leave this as my last thought on this very cold and blustery day. One step at a time, it did not take 5 mins for all the weight to come on so what makes me think this is just going to melt away like ice cream on a hot summer day.
Thanks
Lorrie
1月28日 The saga continuesI am not good about the blogging yet. I get caught up in the routines of life and I'm lucky to keep going to the gym. I am not making excuses just saying it like it is. Lorrie keeps at me about blogging. She is much better at it than I. lol
The gym hasn't killed me yet, but it's given the old college try more than once. lol But, damn it if I haven't prevailed. lol I do enjoy going with Lorrie and I love the way I feel afterwards. It's definately a good payoff, feeling better mentally and physically rocks!!!!
That's it for now talk at you more later,
God bless,
Susan
yeah i lost lbsOk I can't believe I did it but I actually lost 2.5 pounds. For awhile there I was thinking of giving up because I was doing all this work and once again no results, hoever that is no longer true!! Now I just have to keep up with the weight loss and I will feel better.
I am surprised I haven't gained like four hundred pounds with the stress that I have had. Man getting married is really a big pain in the tush!! All I feel like doing is eating so I can make the stress go away. So I started everytime I get stressed and want to eat I either do 10 crunches or do another 10 mins of cardio.
well that's all for now
Lorrie 1月22日 why don't people tell you these thingsSo I wish someone would have told me that getting the fat off is alot harder than putting it on. All I had to do is eating anything I wanted to get the weight off and now I have to have blood sweat and tears to try to get rid on 1lb. I am getting a little discouraged I have lost 4oz's this week and I feel like I have work my butt off!! this stinks i was so proud of myself on how I resisted junk food and kept going to the gym, and what do I get for it 4 oz's that's it!!! I hope this gets better or I am really going to cry I swear!!!
Thanks for listening!!
Lorrie 1月18日 I am so hungrySo ok I am hungry I have cut my calories in half I guess I didn't realize I was getting fat because I was eating like a horse!!! maybe if I was a growing kid I might need that many calories but oh my... that is all I am going to say! So I am trying to find foods that are lower in calories and still taste good. Man that is like hunting for the holy grail I tell ya!
So I have to attending the gym regularly and for the first time in my life I think I went for entire week of workouts!! I am so proud of myself. like I said before I never thought I was ever going to say I like going to the gym but I really really do!!!
Well I am giving myself the weekend off to enjoy the bridal party that is being thrown for me on Sat. 20 days until the big day and counting!!
thanks for visiting
Lorrie 1月16日 starting to enjoy thisOk I know this sounds totally crazy but I think I am starting to really like working out. I thought all my life man working out is just another chore. But I am really starting to think this is really fun. OH MY GOD I can not believe I just said that!! Wow. So I went to the gym today all by myself and this was the first time in my life I was not watching the clock. I just kept hearing jillian's voice in my head this will not kill you. For the first time I actually jogged for the last minute of my cardio on the treadmill. YEAH!!! I thought ohh my I am going to fall but I didn't!! YEAH YEAH YEAH. Now let me tell you something I was a runner in high school made it to state track and field however I developed SEVERE asthma, when I have a good asthma attack I STOP breathing and I have not been able to jogg for years and I just did it I was in tears to whole time!
So my goal tomorrow is to jogg for 2 minutes. Wish me luck!!
Thanks for listening
Lorrie 1月15日 Times awasten...........I feel like now that since I have decided to tackel this weight mountain that I am playing beat the clock. It seems to me that now that I'm going to make this happen that it's not progressing fast enough. lol Well, I guess that's a reality check for me isn't it? lol Being a queen of instant gratification and all.
I am grateful to Lorrie and her companionship on this one. I don't think I'd be going to the gym on a regular bases without her. Two are better than one for sure.
I am a little sore but, not as much as I'd figured I'd be. I think I need to give it a little more effort and see how that goes.
That's it for now,
God Bless,
Susan I hate thisok so the whole working out together hurts!!! We are motivating each other so that is cool but Man we can't slack off anymore can you.
So today I hurt everywhere I feel bad because Susan is not feeling it so I failed her in the whole working out thing.
Ok so I also had a awaking experience this weekend. Someone that I love said the if I lose a hole bunch of weight people are going think hey he ditched the fat chick and got someone younger and sexier. Now I would have let that go if he would have said it once but het said it three times after I asked him. So really is making me thinner going to make me younger and sexier. In my opinion yes it might make me maybe younger looking, but I think sexy is a state of mind. So any of you out there feel my pain of thinking Hey I want to be sexier you all ready are. I am doing this because I want to be healthier.So when this is all over and I am healthier and thinner I am still going to be as sexy as I am now!!! Sorry I had to vent a little. Back to the whole working out. I have been very proud of myself there have been alot of temptations at work lately and I have just been smelling them and then walking away were before I started this challenge I would have said ohhhh I can just snitch alittle no one would know. It has been making me feel better about myself knowing that I can control my craving of something or allow myself if I really want something I can.
thanks for listening
Lorrie 1月11日 OUCH my legs hurtOk so I am pretty excited. Not only are we doing this together to get healthier we now have an even better plan. the plan is to motivate each by now even working out together. It makes it harder to try to do this when we live in different city but work in the same. However now we devised a plan that will make sure we kick each others ass in shape. you all out there know how easy it is to say ohhhh yeah I worked out to your friends and in real life you sat on the couch watched episodes of Hannah Montana with your daughter even though you've seen them about 30 times. Now we know darn it this is going to happen. But I have to say OUCH!!! my upper thighs are just burning I hope that is a good sign!!!
Later all
lorrie
I don't care if it kills me, and it might lolI am going to continue this journey just so I can come and meet Jillian at the very end of this torturous endevure and have her kick my ass for me. lol I am very glad that Lorrie and I are doing this together because otherwise I am the best at talking myself out of going to workout. And having this website makes me accountable everyday also which is huge forme. It's time to do this for me and stop having excuses for not getting up.
That's it for now.
God Bless,
Susan  1月10日 yuck it sucks trying to be healthyOK so thus far trying to be healthy is really sucking for me. I am pretty stressed to start out I should have mentioned I am getting married in 27 days. So that is stress enough to want to eat everything around me. Then you have stress in everyday life to deal with ( I have an 19 month old daughter at home) she really is the reason I want to become healthier. I feel I owe it to her since her daddy is a childhood diabetic let's face it he will most likely not be around forever. I think I owe her at least one of us to be around when she get old. So going on.... I have been doing pretty well on the fitness program but I do have to say I would rather have Jillian in my face telling me to get my butt moving. I really want to do well just for that chance and I want to be finally happy looking at myself after so very many years. I have to say going from a bulemic girl in high school to a overweight person is a huge difference but either way you are still very unhappy. I want to start my new life with my new husband and daughter this is my time this is the time I get to be happy. So keep watching America I promise you. It will be different this time.
See ya soon
Lorrie 1月9日 Hey allI guess I don't know quite how to start this out except to say that turning fourty and still being fat sucks!! I have made a concious decision to not be fat when I turn fourty-one this year. I have spent way too many years this way and have robbed myself of a lot because of that fact. I am sick and oh yes tired, of being the body guard for my smaller cute friends. lol I have an outstanding personality and feel that most people don't find that out because of my weight. The guys that do take the time to get to know me, just want to be my buddy. Well, guess what I have enough friends damn it. It's time to get real with myself and my life choices. My other very important reason to do this is my beautiful eleven year old son. He deserves to have me around for quite a while longer.
So look out America cause I'm gonna make my mark on ya.
God bless,
Susan
1月8日 starting is the hardes partOk so i started the Biggest Loser fitness program last night. I just realized the fact that I am SOOOOOO very out of shape it is sick!!
i am determined to do this though. I have been overweight all of my life and I am sick of being the "fat friend"
you know what I am talking about. The one quirky girl in the group that is funny but fat. I am so happy to be doing this with someone that is going to be just as determined as I am!
That is all for now
Thanks,
Lorrie |
