One thing I've noticed this week is that no matter how dedicated I may be, if just the slightest hint of stress starts encroaching on my mind, I break down. I don't know if its hormones (thanks, Aunt Flo!) or what, but goodness gracious, I don't need that! lol. I try so hard to not let anything get the best of me, but sometimes...when its a REALLY rough day at work (like yesterday or last friday), I get really discouraged and then things just start to swallow me whole. But thats where the hubby comes in. He helped me get out of bed this morning and forced me to go to the gym again....late...but i went... lol. he didn't hear the alarm go off. And my poor husband is STILL sick. meh, it took me til last thursday to start feeling better, so hopefully he'll be good tomorrow.
I've tried a million different things to try to destress myself aside from what I used to do (Ben&Jerry's date, lots of rich fatty foods, ect), and focus on me. Its hard to do when you're working a full-time job and you have a million other things to take care of, but I'm workin on it. I've always had a problem with stressing myself out...so I'm trying to work on that as well as work on getting down. I feel really good. I weighed in today at 256.6. That makes me feel better because on Monday I was 258.4. Granted, I've been on top of myself these last couple days...making sure I log every calorie that goes into my mouth and making sure that I am burning more than what i consume. I've been eating about 1200-1400 calories per day...so, yea. :) I've been really good. I've been eating cereal or belVita for bfast, normal food for lunch (small portions), and a slimfast, cheese stick, and yogurt for dinner. :) its working out pretty well because i tell myself that whatever goodies my daddy makes for dinner i get to eat for lunch the next day, so it helps! :)
I am also focusing on a 20lb weight loss for the moment. If I can be down 20lbs by my birthday (which should be an easy feat if I stick with it, but i want to make it a small goal), then I will be happy. My birthday is July 20, so I have 13 weeks exactly from this friday to get down 20lbs. If I lose 2lbs a week, that will work great! lol
I like to set my goals low so that I'm excited when I hit it sooner than my set date...if i set it too high, it becomes unachievable and I get discouraged. So we'll stick with this. 20lbs by July 20th. :)
anyways. i gotta go get ready. adios!

Early Morning
I dont know if I'll ever get used to getting up early...surely eventually. lol. But today, Daniel and I started our "get up at 445a and be at gym by 515a" regimen. However, since he is ill with whatever I got sick with last week, I went by myself. It was easier as the morning progressed. Getting out of bed was the worst. LOL. I rolled over and was like "if you can't go, i'll just wait until you can" but, like a good husband, he shoved me out of bed and said "you'll thank me later."
so i got up and went to the gym. I did 30 minutes on the ArcTrainer, did 2 sets of 10 on a chest press, and stretched. :) it felt good, but i bet i'm gonna be exhausted when i get off today. we'll see. We plan on doing the 5a thing 3 times a week....so i'll also try to post three times a week. just to keep ya'll updated.
on a plus side--I think things are going to be different this time. I was able to look and see if i lost 2lbs a week, where that would put me in a year. That will put me almost at my goal. It really got me excited because that means only a year or a year and a half before Daniel and I start trying to have kids! LOL thats not the only reason--another reason is next summer i could be in a bikini!!!!! for the first time ever. omg you have no idea how much that excites me. I know its easy at first to lose, and gets harder as you go, but by the time it gets harder, I'll be able to work harder on it.
When I think about what I will look like skinny, I can't picture it. I've been fat all my life. so i'm excited to see what the "new me" will look like. hoping my hair will grow long too. Another good thing is that if i start now, when daniel goes to basic, I'll be able to work extra hard so he can see a difference. I mean, he'll be gone for 8 weeks. :)
but anyways. i'm gonna try to do green tea on the mornings i go to the gym....instead of coffee....to boost my metabolism a little more. :) we'll see how that goes. well, i hope you all have a wonderful day (despite the eminent rain).
adios!

Baby Blues
So, I've found that lately i've had a pretty crazy case of "baby fever". Let me just tell you....its so hard to see everyone around you getting pregnant and having kids and everything when thats something you have wanted from the start. I understand that we're not in any place to have kids yet, and I know all of you are going to tell me to wait as long as i can. You are not me. Daniel and I have come up with a good "goal." We will start trying to have kids as soon as i get down to a healthy weight. Because overweight pregnancies can have LOTS of issues...both for mom and baby. which is true. its just hard.
i've had a hard time trying to stick with anything because of work and stuff. like i try try try, then something comes up and i'm done. I DO THIS EVERYTIME. I do not understand why i cannot stick with anything. I'm trying so hard...but as soon as i start being good, i start being bad. I guess its because we are living with my parents and for they can't revolve around my eating or anything. they want what they want, and its tempting as hell and i usually give in. Especially after a 9 hr day at work. when i'm starving. -.- "wanna go to red robin?" "heck yea!" lol. cuz it gets me out of cooking. -.- yeahhhh i need to stop that. I know its gonna be a little easier to keep to a diet of any sort when we are living on our own again--but that will not be for at least a year, if not longer. It will be easier also because i wont be working. I will keep a job for part of the time he is in basic...and when I see that we are covered enough for me to stop, i will stop and focus the time i would spend at my job, at the gym and on my food and stuff. Much like daniel. His "job" for the past 9 months has been to lose weight. And he did. :) now we're just waiting on the AF to send him off to MEPS and to take the ASVAB. then comes basic.
But so, yeah. I'm like sitting here on facebook looking at all the pictures of my friends' kids, and preggo bellies, and cute little newborns, and preggo tests and AHHHH. its driving me bonkers. I'm like "why cant i just be skinny so we can start trying now?" I hate that i've let my body get like this, but theres nothing i can do but move forward. I'm an emotional eater. Stressed? Food. Sad? Food. Happy? Lets celebrate with food! and the list goes on and on. Thats why i'm worried. I told Daniel that I wanted a baby...he said "when you get down 100lbs, then we'll talk." "what if i never get down?" "why wouldn't you get down?" "i never have been able to stick with something." "you've never had the time or mind to."
I guess thats the one thing thats really been bugging me. (that and i've been sick with some sort of sinus infection the past three days). I just I want a baby and I'm worried I'll never get down. I feel the same cycles going on over and over. Daniel and I are going to try to start going to the gym every morning before i go to work next week....i think that may help...because after work i'm often tired, headaches have sprouted, and i just don't have the patience for the gym. lol. Before work? I'm just not a morning person. so if my husband can take the pissy version of myself and actually get my butt out of bed, we'll be good. You guys have been so good to me...I've been so off and on with this the past month. :( i'm sorry for letting you all down. This hasn't been a total waste, because i do look forward to your input on the few blogs i've actually posted.
I just hope I can make all of you proud one day. I want a good side by side like my husband. lol. he's lost like...60+ lbs since July...and he looks great!!!
my side by side at -60lbs will look better! LOL. I want to be in a slightly smaller swimsuit size if daniel and i go to the beach before basic...so...............i guess i better get on it. lol
if you guys wouldn't mind, please pray that I will have a peace about having children. About waiting until i'm down. its better for all of us.
love ya'll!

Getting Past Tired
Ohhh boy. So. today is a crazy one. I have been working at Trinity (as you all know....) so my body is still getting used to that full-time schedule again. not only that, the kids have been acting out because i guess I'm still "new"....soooo i've been all over the place...then on tuesday night, I decided it would be a FANTASTIC idea to go to the gym. well. yeah it was great, but let me tell you, i was WORN OUT all day on Wednesday. It was all i could do to be up with the kids dancing and playing. Needless to say, I did not go to the gym yesterday...and i'm kinda regretting it because i know i probably wont go tonight because we have a staff meeting after work and i have no idea how long it will last and i dont like going to the gym past 630 because then i don't sleep very well.
but anyways. today we're supposed to have storms, and the kids are supposed to have an easter egg hunt--how thats going to work? I have no idea. i guess we'll wing it.
I want your input--how do you guys get past all this tired? Is there something i can take? (B12, ect?) to help me have energy? or is it just my body getting used to all this new stuff with my schedules?
i thought i was doing good..... well i know i'm doing good...but i feel the need to go to the gym more than 2 days a week. :(
Oh..btw...my weight as of this morning is 255.4....starting weight--258.8. That means I have lost 3.4 lbs this week. i've heard the first 10 are mainly water and stuff when you're this overweight....so..i assumed they'd be easy to get off. :)
anyways. gotta get ready for work. adios.

11 Days....11 days....
So...i think i mentioned something called the "11-day diet" on here before...so..i totally started it yesterday and let me tell you--purging my body of the toxins that i call my favorite drink--makes for a not so happy beth. I have been feeling obnoxiously sick...but i know its just cuz lately i got REALLY bad about coke. I love it. Drank it with EVERYTHING. drank it just to drink it. drank it instead of water...ect ect...so...my body is like "WTFFFFF?!!???" lol. but its good for me...i'm technically supposed to only drink water, unsweetened tea, diet drinks, and coffee...but i keep my cran-apple juice anyways because it is going to help my kidneys after all the daggum coke. LOL but anyways
yesterday was day1... and i did pretty well...minus getting popcorn at the movie... -.- *facepalm* i know...stupid stupid stupid...but whatever, can't really go back now, can we? lol. daniel took me to see the Hunger Games FINALLY. lol. it was very good. i think the only thing i was mad that they changed was the whole thing with the mockingjay pin...but other than that--it was really good. but...well yeah...back to the 11-day. :)
its all about calorie shifting from day to day...yesterday was day 1 and we kinda went by a menu, but you know...just using it as a guide...you eat four meals a day.....today was FRUIT DAY. all you eat all day for every meal is fruit. except one meal which you can have a deli sandwich. This the first really rough day on it. I can never do it exactly like this. Like, for instance...for breakfast i had BelVita things, a banana, some grapes, and coffee. For lunch i had my sandwich and some grapes. i just had a bowl of cheerios because i was feeling ill and didn't think my body could handle just fruit...and in about an hour, i'll have some peaches. keeps me from getting sick. but tomorrow i get to eat normal food (sorta), so yea. the reason why i say this is the FIRST really rough day is because there is another day where all you can have is veggies. lol. thats the second hardest day. lol. but yeah...
i enjoy doing the diet, and you see results--especially when you workout on top of it. My dad doesn't do any kind of workout or exercise aside from going to his job...and he has lost like...50lbs on it before. The only reason i'm doing it right now is to kind of kick-start my dieting and get myself a little more disciplined. I need to shrink my stomach and just i guess just get used to not eating junk again. I was doing SO WELL there for a little while--then "shit hit the fan" and well...you know how that goes. ended up working my butt off so much that i never had time to really deal with it and reverted back to fast food--and let me tell you---eating out and drinking coke are two of the hardest habits to break. oh and sugar...but....i'm not giving sugar up...i'm just eating less. one dark chocolate square a day...or a small scoop of frozen yogurt with fat free/sugar free whipped cream...just enough to quench that hunger for sugar. lol.
but anyways...the hubby just got home from his walk...and we're gonna watch Game of Thrones (good series btw...and the books are even better!!! go read them!)
ohhh and everyone should be very VERY proud of my husband. He has lost almost 60lbs! (he started at 225 back in July, and now he's at 166.8!!!!) He goes back to the USAF recruiter next Tuesday!! Hopefully this time they'll actually enlist him and get this ball moving!
peace out!

belVita...yum!
soooo today is a new day. I start my new job for reals (i kinda started last week...just for training a couple of the days)....I am excited. My new set schedule will be 830-530 Monday through Friday. I am sooo glad that I have a SET SCHEDULE. it makes life easier for me. my body can get used to going to bed and waking up around the same times every day...I can start implementing gym time after work. all that fun stuff. :) I'm gonna be a much happier Beth.
Anyways, I made a discovery while in Utah with my sister. belVita breakfast cookies. holy cow!!! these things rock! 5 packs to a box, 4 cookies to a pack. They taste delicious, are made with whole grains and oats (i think), they only have 230 calories, B vitamins, protein, fiber, low in sodium, potassium...ect...they're kinda high in carbs...but what do you expect with a food like this? LOL. But I love them! and not only do they taste good, they KEEP ME SATISFIED. which is a hard feat....so i applaud them for that. I usually have them with a cup of coffee and a banana...and sometimes some yogurt. it depends on my mood. but these keep me satisfied....and SlimFast doesn't. Thank you, Nabisco, for creating something that is a meal replacement and actually works! LOL
But i highly suggest these! They are fantastic! :) I weighed myself this morning so i can get an idea as to just how much i can loose in a week. i'll weigh in again on saturday. I'm plannin on watchin my portions, more water (i've gotten really lax on that as of late), and just overall moving around more...which, with my new job, that will be easy peasey! I mean, my whole job is centered around 3 year olds...so naturally, that goes to give you an idea as to how active i'll be at work. lol. If you have a 3 year old, or know one--you understand that! haha.
but anyways. I gotta go finish getting ready. I just wanted to brag on my belVita....and thank my sis, Maegan, for introducing these to me! :)

Off the Path
Wow guys....sorry its taken me so long to post again. I've been incredibly busy and all over the place and I just haven't had time to think about it. My assessment went good....The guy told me he could tell that there was an "athletic" side to me, I just needed to lose weight. he said that my flexibility was really good for someone of my weight, which I've always prided myself on... I've always been pretty flexible. But anyways. Let me catch you up to date on everything that has been going on.
Where to begin? I turned in my 2-week notice the week before I left for Utah (so 2 weeks ago this past friday). Before then, my schedule was all over the place and eating healthy went out the window. I don't regret the way I've eaten over the past month (i'm not gonna waste time on the past); however, I know i should have at least tried to do better. I'm so ready to get my weight down. I had a dream last night of a skinny version of me...and let me just tell you--that me was HOTT! LMAO. but seriously...it was weird... so yeah...it made me see what I can be and that really excited me. I woke up this morning all excited.
I am starting my new job (full time) tomorrow. I will be working at Trinity United Methodist's CDC and my hours will be 830-530 monday through friday. Let me just tell you--having a set schedule is going to be a lot better for me. Once I get used to the schedule, I can start implementing gym time and all that fun stuff. I'll be able to eat healthier because I'll be on a SET SCHEDULE every day. I'll always be able to eat dinner before 7p, I'll be eating breakfast at 7. instead of this eating breakfast at 5a (sometimes even 4) or having to eat dinner at like...9. Yeah. gonna be so much better. Also, I'm working in a class of 3 year olds....that right there should tell you how active I will be during the days! My arms and legs are so sore from the few days i worked last week from squatting, chasing, playing, lifting, ect ect. LOL. I'll reach that hot bod in no time!
My current "goal" on Spark People is to loose 20lbs by June 1. Yeah I could probably reach that goal sooner, but I can adjust it if i loose that before then. :) I just want to take it 20lbs at a time. If I can focus on that, I can get there. I've been toying with the idea of starting the 11-day diet again. Just to help me get in the habit of eating well. its so hard for me to come off of eating anything I want to "dieting", but that one seems to work. I need to get disciplined before i try anything else....and at least I realize that.
I know i keep saying the same things over "i'm ready for a change" or "this week will be different"...but i've had a lot going on up until now....and now I'm home until daniel and I decide to take a trip...which likely will not be until a couple weeks before he ships off for basic...so we're talking late august-december (we don't know when he'll go yet)....soooo i'm here for the home stretch...and i plan on making every day count. even sundays. lol. which usually are my "lay at home lazy" days. i want to be active every day...may not mean going to the gym every day...but... doing SOMETHING. grocery shopping (yes you burn calories doing that), taking a walk with daniel, mowing the lawn even...cleaning... lol. just getting up and doing something other than laying around on the couch.
maybe i'll get better about posting too... :)
ohhh if you guys have any tips about when you think i should go to the gym during the week (since my schedule is M-F 830-530) let me know....been thinking about trying to go in the mornings...but i'm not really a morning person...and thought about going after work--but then i wouldn't be home til 7....and i really don't think you're supposed to eat after 7....lol
anyways...let me know!
adios

I know i keep saying the same things over "i'm ready for a change" or "this week will be different"...but i've had a lot going on up until now....and now I'm home until daniel and I decide to take a trip...which likely will not be until a couple weeks before he ships off for basic...so we're talking late august-december (we don't know when he'll go yet)....soooo i'm here for the home stretch...and i plan on making every day count. even sundays. lol. which usually are my "lay at home lazy" days. i want to be active every day...may not mean going to the gym every day...but... doing SOMETHING. grocery shopping (yes you burn calories doing that), taking a walk with daniel, mowing the lawn even...cleaning... lol. just getting up and doing something other than laying around on the couch.
maybe i'll get better about posting too... :)
ohhh if you guys have any tips about when you think i should go to the gym during the week (since my schedule is M-F 830-530) let me know....been thinking about trying to go in the mornings...but i'm not really a morning person...and thought about going after work--but then i wouldn't be home til 7....and i really don't think you're supposed to eat after 7....lol
anyways...let me know!
adios
