So it’s been a week since I’ve posted and weighed in. Unfortunately, the scale is not my friend right now. Last week I was 149.5 pounds. I have eaten healthy all week (minus pizza and a couple drinks on Saturday night…oops!) On Monday I did an hour of cardio, on Tuesday I did an hour of weight training and an hour of cardio (The dance class Zumba…AMAZING!! It’s like Latin dancing so it’s super fun but it really gets the heart rate up!), on Wednesday I did an hour of cardio, and today I did an hour of weight training and played in a softball game after work. I thought I did very well, but it seems that I actually gained weight this week! I am officially 151 pounds now. I’m hoping that I’m gaining muscle mass or something so I don’t feel as bad…but obviously I have to do something different. I must admit, I am VERY disappointed =(

and it shows! It’s been well over a year and a half since I’ve written. And almost 2 years since I last gave my weight (in July 2006, 132.5 lbs). Well, now I’m at 149.5 pounds…wow what happened Actually I know what happened. In the last year and a half, I split with my fiance only a few months before our planned (and payed for!) wedding, and it wrecked my world for a little while. I began eating WAY too much, then started the whole bulimia thing again to try to control it and I just spiraled out of control to the point that I was just plain unhealthy and lazy. But I’ve decided that enough is enough. I’m picking up the pieces and moving on and putting myself first for once. I started working out 2 weeks ago and eating healthier. Though I haven’t made any drastic lifestyle changes yet, I just want to get back into the habit of being conscious of what I am doing for exercise and eating. So today is my new starting point. I plan to continue working out at least 4 days a week for an hour, with both weight training and cardio. I plan to actually track my calorie intake (I’m scared to even know how much I eat now). Lastly, I plan to start being more active: I joined a softball team for the summer, I just signed up for dance classes at a local studio and I plan to get a gym membership so I can work out on the weekends (I use the gym at work now so that means no working out sat or sun). I’m keeping my fingers crossed and not setting my hopes too high. My goal is to be under 140 lbs (even if it’s 139.5!) by my friends wedding on June 28th. Heeeerrreeee we go again….

Unfortunately, I haven’t stuck to my eating plan, or exercise plan in over 2 weeks =( And I’m not talking just a little cheating here and there. I have completely fallen off the wagon! Wendy’s, Papa Ginos, cookouts, icecream, chocolate…I went crazy! Now I feel like crap, and I leave for my cruise Sunday…I NEED to stop this right now! I’ve gained 4 pounds…eww =(
