Needless to say I am pretty estatic right now. I hit my first big goal today! Lost 20 lbs in six weeks. I am looking and feeling amazing. The weight is just falling off. I am still eating 1800 GOOD CLEAN calories per day, and excersising 6x per week. AND IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!! Come on guys, if I can do it so can you!!!!

 As my reward, I am going to go buy a warm sweatshirt! It is supposed to snow for the next 4 days, so I am glad I hit my mini now!

December 9, 2008

I weighed again this morning, because just by looking in the mirror I could see that I was smaller. Again. I just weighed yesterday, and announced a 2lb loss, and holy shit, this morning another one was gone!!! I just may hit the 240s this next week after all. I have been doing really good eating, and I am starting to not feel guilty about eating as much any more. I was always practically starving my self (Unknown to me) so as soon as I started eating more, about 500 calories more, man has the weight been falling off! It still shocks me that by eating more, I am losing more. Funny world aint it? I guess the reason why I dont feel guilty any more about eating so often, is because it has become more about refueling my body, than what snack I want to munch on next.

 Even though it is a good thing, it still makes me sad that all of my clothes are hanging on me like a tent. I just bought all new clothes before I started on my journey, and I dont have the cash to buy more right now. I cant even afford christmas coming up =[ I am getting closer to fitting into my old clothes, but right now I am walking around with a vaccume line (from a car, I work in an auto shop) LOL around me like a belt, because none of my belts will go small enough, and my old belts arent big enough. Ugghh. Stupid pants. AND they wont stay up. AT LEAST I have a solution, lol, the vaccume line is strechy, and I can just cut it down as I get smaller LOL. And its pretty much invisible.

 And being sick sucks ass. I wish I could kick this colds ass cause I would if I could. Even though I have been sick for the last two weeks, I HAVE STILL WORKED OUT EVERY DAY. No excuses. Ever. Because it is my turn to shine.

 Come on little clothes, FIT! HAHA. Sorry for complaining. I just want to sleep =[

I have officially lost 2 more lbs, for a total of 17! I am sitting pretty happy at 253 right now. 3 lbs away from my mini goal!!! My legs are looking awesome =]

After thanks giving I didn’t gain any weight, but I didn’t lose any either. I platoed for a week, and finally this last week broke that fast, even though I was sick as a dog for half of it, I drug my sorry ass to the gym and worked out everyday! I even did HIIT two of those days as hard as I possibly could. And I kicked ass on the stair master.

My bicep is getting cut =] it looks haut =]

I have been kicking ass =]

On a much more sad note my brand new Ipod, which Ive had about two weeks, either Died, or the battery died, either way I didnt have music this morning =[ BUTT I will try charging it tonight. I hope thats all it is. But usually when the battery is dead the screen will turn on for half a second and then turn of again. Nothing.  

Well it seems that they finally found the killer of a friend of mine, Brianna Denison. He was arrested after 10 months of searching, through a DNA test. http://www.rgj.com/article/20081126/NEWS01/811260455 

 Lock your doors, windows, and keep your kids safe! Trust no one!

Reno police on Tuesday arrested a Sparks man in connection with the slaying of Brianna Denison, ending a 10-month hunt for the man who abducted the 19-year-old Reno High School graduate from a friend’s home in January.

James Biela was booked into the Washoe County Jail on charges of murder, kidnapping in the first degree and sexual assault but could not confirm he is the suspect in the Denison case.

Reno police took a DNA sample from the suspect and said it would take 12 hours to process.

Police spokesman Steve Frady issued a one-sentence news release announcing a news conference at 10:30 a.m. today. He would not say whether the suspect was arrested in Reno or elsewhere.

Denison, a sophomore at a Santa Barbara, Calif., college was abducted about 4:30 a.m. Jan. 20 as she slept in the living room of a friend’s home at 1395 Mackay Court, a block from the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Police said Denison would have been visible through a glass door.

Volunteers throughout the community helped police search for clues. Her body was found Feb. 15 in a field in south Reno. Candlelight vigils were held, and two national missing children’s organizations sent investigators to Reno.

Police said they recovered DNA evidence at the scene that would link a suspect to the crime. The DNA samples also linked Denison’s killer to three other sexually related attacks on women at or near UNR from October to December 2007.

During the investigation, $291,163 was raised from 223 donors in response to the sheriff’s request for money to process a backlog of 3,000 DNA samples.

I am going to my fiance’s parents house. I figured because he has gone to every single family event with my family I could be nice and spend the WHOLE day with his. Uggh. I can’t stand his father, he is a total alcoholic, and treats his mom like shit. Every time he sees a hot girl, he says to her, “God damn I would leave you for her in a hot second! Look at that fine ass! Man I would love to motorboat those titties.” He says shit like that all the time, and it pisses me off. NO ONE deserves to be treated like that, it is bullshit. So I have to go through a whole day with out punching him in the face. Wonder how I’ll make it. (Not literally, but I have walked out and left because I WOULD have.)

 AND they are the type of people who show their love through food. So I already told them that I will be eating very little, and it is nothing against them or their cooking, but I dont want to undo all of my hard work. I am seriously going to eat 1/4 of a portion of my meal, and then eat some canned chicken later. NO WAY I am going to stuff 3000 calories into MY body. Make me bitches =]

(And I have prepared all of my food for the rest of the meals, because I don’t eat processed foods, or things I dont know how they were prepared.) They cook spagetti in 3 CUBES OF BUTTER!!! Not tbls, WHOLE CUBES!!!!!! The ones that are like 4 inches long, and 1.5 inches tall. I dont even use butter!!!

 Hope all of you are going to have an easier thanksgiving, and manage to stay on track! Happy Holidays!

Lost another two lbs over the weekend & monday,  total amount lost over 4 weeks: 15 lbs.

Hopefully I can lost another lb by friday!!

So today I weighed for the week, and guess what? ANOTHER TWO LBS DOWN!!!! Sitting pretty happy at 257.1!!!! Yay. I have been kicken butt ever since I pretty much accidently starved myself for 7 hrs. Not good cause it threw my body in to starve and store mode, the next day I had gained two lbs, and the day after that another lb. So not only have I lost that weight, but two lbs more! Yay!!

 My fiance hugged me this morning and said “Holy shit! Wow your tummy is so much smaller!” It made me happy. He has always been able to wrap his arm around me, but he can really hold me close now =]

 Work outs went great all this week. I started doing HITT training two days ago, and I feel like I get so much more out of my cardio. This morning I added another 5 lbs to my bicep curl, AWESOME. And I have steadily been adding weights all over the place in my training.

I am going to work out for 2 hours on Saturday.

Short Term Goals-

• Continue eating clean
• Work out every day next week
• Continue working cardio at a high intensity
• Keep proper form the whole time while lifting
• Keep encouraging others to do the same
• Set an example for family and friends that weightloss doesn’t need to be as big of a strugle as most make it out to be. Set your mind, hit your small goals and DO IT!

I was really hoping to lose another lb over the weekend to keep up my 4 lb streak lol, and I almost made it haha. I’m down to 259.1 (Friday I was at 259.9). AND YES, I know that is probably just body fluids, which are ever changing but hey. It made me happy. Plus after tanning this morning, I was looking in the mirror and WOW. There is a big difference. Well at least to me. My collar bones are starting to show some, and the skin around my breasts has tightened and wow are they looking perky =] Plus my thighs are slimming down, and you can actually see some muscle in my upper arm now. It is really happening =]

Note: Funny thing, I see the difference a couple days AFTER I see the lbs drop on the scale. Just an observation. ONTO WEEK 4!

Today:

Arrived at the Gym at 4:55am. Worked out till 6:20am

Did 20 minutes cardio on the eliptical.

Worked arms, shoulders, chest, back, and abs.

Man my shoulders HURT from saturday. I only did one set of shoulders b/c  you are not supposed to work a sore muscle.

 Update: Even though I did not post, I worked out on Saturday, and we worked the same things we did today, plus 25 mins of cardio. + I ran a little.

I started working out 5-6x a week three weeks ago. I’ve already lost 11 lbs, but, well… We took our “before” pics today, just to document our progress from here. My pictures look disgusting. I wanted to cry actually when I saw them. I guess when I look in the mirror I dont see things as bad as they are. It just hurts to see me like that.

You can see why…
