Wind in my hair...er...pony tail?

Had a very enjoyable bike ride today through the ravine avec Salman and Tony.

Surprised how riding during the hot hours minimized the bugs in your face.
Although I shouldn't be, since it makes perfect sense.
Any how, it was loads of fun and a good workout.
Even if we didn't get to play Pooh sticks.


Later days.

WooHoo!

Dear Blog,

It's Monday and that means......weigh in!
And guess what...GOOD NEWS!
I am officially down 2.5lbs! What what!

I honestly didn't that Id be able to do it, but so far I'm right on track!
Its really awesome because it makes me want to work harder at this, and really achieve my goals.

I got a lot of sun today which was awesome, although it did make me a bit tired for work.

I neglected to post yesterday, and it seems I'm even too late to have posted for 'today'. Rats.
I'll try to do better!

This post sucks because I'm tired.
At least I did my weigh in, so that's all that really matters.
Hopefully I'll have the drive to post tomorrow before work, so this doesn't happen again.

Gnight Blog.

La La La

Alright, trying to get an early post in here today.

And with that, I have absolutely nothing to write about.
It's a beautiful day outside today, I can only hope people will be out and about on their day off instead of renting movies and staying in.
I really hope no one comes in tonight, I'm definitely not in the mood.

I also hope I don't get scrutinized by the new manager tonight. I have a feeling I'm going to get yelled at for not asking every single person if they want to pre-order Avatar, or even one single person for that matter. I hate up selling.

Anyways, today consisted of waking up late-ish, having my morning cup of coffee whilst internetting. Hanging out in the back yard for a bit with my dad and the pups, finding out the water fountain isn't working(might still be frozen), and yelling at Baxter for eating bird seed, because he's clearly not a bird. I then went on to fold my laundry that I did yesterday and left conveniently in the dryer. Yay clean hockey clothes and jerseys! (I smell)
Then had some lunch, watched 5 mins of Bad Lieutenant and gave up, and now I'm here.

What fun! Maybe I'll get my bike out, put some air in the tires and go for a ride.
I found a video on YouTube of some workouts for strengthening your legs for hockey, so I may do that for a bit. I really don't want to die in my co-ed division.

Anywho, I cant really think of much more to say. So I'll leave it at that.

Here Comes the Sun..

...doo doo doo doo!

Other than being my favourite Beatles song, it also brings with it my favourite season.
Summer! Hurrah!

After getting a taste of spring weather earlier in March, I'm dying for some summer heat.
This coming weekend is supposed to be pretty nice, so says the weather man.
So let's all roll up our sleeves and get dirty! Perhaps it might even be car wash weather.
So now I know what I'll be doing Saturday.

With summer comes shorts, dresses, tank tops, and dare I say, bathing suits...all things I loath since gaining my graduationmen 30. (get it? freshmen 15?)
Since leaving school, my routines haven't changed at all, other than leaving school. I still work at the same place, approximately the same amount of hours, and spend my leisure time at home..sitting on the couch, and eating.
And it's all led me to here. 30 lbs heavier than I was 3 years ago. 20 of those pounds all joining me as graduation gifts.
So Ive decided to FINALLY(I'm pretty good at emphasizing finally eh?) put my foot down!
No more saying I'm on a diet and not keeping to it. This time it's for serious.
I'd love to lose all 30 of it in 2 months, but I don't think that's realistic for me. So I'm going to aim for 20 by the end of May. Then I'll concentrate on getting to exactly where I want to be after that, but for now, it's crunch time!

Maybe I'll turn Mondays into updates on how everything is progressing. Will I ever post my weight? Probably not, until I get to my goal, then you can know how fat I actually was. Key word, was. Should I do pictures? We'll see. And again, probably wont show until I get to where I want to be.

So how does one motivate ones self into taking on such a huge challenge? I don't know. Perhaps YouTube 'thinspiration'? NO! That stuff is ridiculous. If you have time, you should check out what girls do to themselves by watching that crap. They're videos consisting of pictures of anorexic/bulimic girls showing off their rib cages and skeletons. It's disgusting. But it's supposed to 'thinspire' you to lose weight. Because OMG I wish I looked like Skeletor.

Anyways, I have joined 2 hockey teams this summer, so here's hoping that helps me out with things.
My 2 big problems are portion control, and what time I eat. So I really need to work on them.
I'm proud of myself for completely switching from pop to water, and pretty much not eating junk food anymore. I find that after a while, you don't crave these foods anymore, and when you have them once in a while, it's really not that hard to eat just a bit.
I haven't had fast food(McDonald's, Harvey's..)in a REALLY long time, which is awesome!
But I do want to cut someone every time they send me McDonald's coupons.

So what have we learned today? That even my Wii Fit thinks I'm overweight and it's time to make some changes! So here goes nothing!
