Good deeds do pay off...

At work my boss decided to institute a new policy; if you don't get at least 5 sales in a week your pay gets cut. Now by Thursday I had 7 and I was on my way to 8 and an extra hundred for the week. Now my boy works there and he only had 1 at that moment but hes been killing it for a while and hes just going through a little slump; I went through the same slump but my pay didn't get decreased. I thought it was unfair to cut his pay for the same slump I went through and my pay didn't get cut. So the manager comes up to me and was like we can start the new policy this week or next week but keep in mind if we do your going to get screwed out of a 100 extra dollars this week. I said it's fine I would take the hit just so everyone else in the office doesn't get fucked. But when it was pay day the owner came up to me and said that was a really nice thing you did for everyone so I'm going to give you the money anyway. I felt good about it because good deeds do produce a return for you, even if your not looking for anything. Just goes to show you not everyone is piece of shit. And on a workout note rowing machines are awesome to help you get in shape. I'm still going but I only lost 1 pound in the last 2 weeks but .5 inch off my stomach. I must be doing something right, hope everyone out there is as well. Good luck and enjoy this beautiful Sunday.

Well it's been quite some time but I'm back!

I'm not only back to writing my blog but I'm back on track to becoming the thinner me. Life has been hectic for the past couple of months working two jobs; a sales job and a part time job as a Michael's employee. I was down on myself for a short time but seeing one of my best friends who has never thought about working out actually go out and hit the gym for 3 hours a day has given me an added boost to start my workouts again. Life is tough but you have to get up when you fall and sometimes you need some added motivation and my boy brought that to the table. We live two different lives now and I barely see him but when I do I feel happy for him and I wanted to feel that way about myself. So I'm back and I'm here to shed 62 pounds and get down to 180lbs. First mission now that I've started doing my little workouts is quit cigarettes so I can have extra funds to pay for a gym membership. Then once I'm at a gym, the sky's the limit for me. Goodnight and good luck everyone, we can do this!!!!!!

Got my time down to 29 minutes.

I feel like I'm pushing myself harder then ever and frankly I have to because I need to be skinnier. How I have sunk so far, so quick is beyond me but I have to rectify it and I will!

Even though I haven't posted I've still been on the grind.

I have now lost a total of 5 pounds and 2 have come this week. Ive amped my exercise routine up quite a bit. I started with 2.2 miles and it took me 41 minutes (mainly because of all the ice). Then I got it down to 38 min, then 35 min and yesterday I did it in 31 minutes. My goal is to get the jog down to 20 minutes then increase the distance to 40 minutes again. Maybe I'll be able to do 5 miles in 40 minutes someday but for now my slow pace works perfectly for my body. I'm way to big and my weight seems to be crushing my legs when I run. I hate to say this but slow and steady seems to be the way to go. And I've decided my progression videos will go up after the second month. I do some ridiculous things on them so I'm hesitant to post em' up. LOL. Also still trying to not eat past 7, but its hard. I'm still working with the 10 lb weights everyday; I can't wait to lose more weight so can utilize my pull-up bar and dip bar. I'm way to fat right now to pull myself more then 5 times LOL. But that 260 lbs each time which I guess makes me pretty strong. Hopefully tomorrow I can get down to 30 min...

I've been naughty... :(

Been bad on my diet as of late... And I can't really go outside and do much of anything because everything is ice. I probably walked and jogged a tiny bit for about 2 miles today. So I'm getting back in the routine of things. My body has really taken to the 10 lb pounds and im seeing vast improvements. I just have to focus on the cardio for my stomach because I feel that my gut is holding me back right now. I'm back in track now... I just have to realize, I can do this.

It really feels like God doesn't want me to work out.

I go outside this morning to see an inch or 2 of snow on the ground. I start to jog on the snow which was fine. The problem was the fact that people shoveled the snow and it started hailing, so it was basically like trying to jog on sheets of ice. I really cant win anymore, but I'm gonna stick with it. And tomorrow of course a foot of snow is on the way. At least I'll be getting exercise while shoveling this freakin snow. I'm gonna keep trying to workout however I can!!!

Been jogging outside now.

I haven't been doing much, just 3 laps around the block in the mornings. I want to increase the lap count per day until Friday. Then each week increase the lap count by 1. So by the end of the week I hopefully should be up to 7 by Friday. I feel like 7 laps around the block plus the inverted sit ups and the short weight exercises will do me some real good. I stopped weighing myself every week and am going to weigh myself every two weeks at a time now. I haven't eaten past 9 in a long time now, which is quite the change from eating at 1 every night. I start class today I have to have a joke prepared for class. My joke is: What did one saggy tit say to the other saggy tit? If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts. LOL. I know I'm corny. Hopefully it goes over well just like my new workout strategy. It sucks being forced into it, but I'm ready.
