Nevermind the bullocks, here's Punk Rock Aerobics

Wednesday, September 16, 2009- Woke up at 5:15 am and actually got out of bed at 5:38 am. Dressed and ready for workout at 6:00 am. Worked out. Loved the burn at the end of everything.

That's what my morning was like today. Extremely satisfying in the way of, nothing coming up in the way of things and getting everything done on time. I knew I liked PRA but now I know I LOVE Punk Rock Aerobics.

Really really awesome news!

I lost a pound! YAY!! From 237.8 lbs to 236.6 lbs. In only two days. This is some real motivation, y'all. Nothing like losing weight in such a short time. Maybe I can lose 3 pounds this week.

If I lose 5 pounds this month, and next month, and next month, AND the next month I'll be

216 lbs!! HOORAY!!! Just in time for New Years, too. It'll be faboo being able to buy a size smaller dress for all the celebrations.

I'm going to post my measurements at the end of this week. Along with some pictures and maybe a video.

Keep on keepin' on......

Defeat the want to eat

Today marks the first week of my NEW eating guidelines. Leaner meats, veggier veggies, and juicy fruits are what I am supposed to eat now.

Last Saturday and Sunday I tested out the portion control guidelines and cursed at the chapter about controlling your sugar intake. I've already lost 2 lbs., yay me!

It's been hard trying to get some exercise. Now that I've got my drivers permit, besides the cardio I give my Mom from imaginary brake stomping and panic attacks, I've been in a seated position longer than I've been in a bike, jogger, or crunch position. Sure, every M-W-F I'm up with my mom and lil' bro'tha exercising but that's not really enough considering I spend more time making sure they're actually doing the movements correctly and getting the full benefit.
When I started the PCG (portion control guidelines) last Thursday, I felt really good! I was smiling while munching on an egg white omelet and drinking naught but purified water from a jug. I'm taking in 1,200 to 1,500 calories each day, and I actually think that might be a little much.
Sound crazy? Here's my reason: On Tuesday, my menu called for Spicy Black Bean Skillet Medley (1/2 cup serving = 400 cal.) which I did not like at all. Instead of corn, tomatoes, and black beans smothered in hot sauce I opted for half a grilled turkey lunchmeat sandwich (1/2 sandwich = 250 cal.) and half a bag of "100 calories a bag: fudge striped cookies" and you've got a delicious lunch for only 300 calories. That day I consumed only 1,000 calories and boy did I feel energetic. I was in a sweeter disposition and actually got along with my older bro'tha! Weird!

I've gotten down 2 lbs. and am now at 236.8. I can't wait to see that ONEderful ONEderland of 170. I can feel it ready to explode outta me and onto the nearest passerby all the time. It's like a stalker, I know it's there sometimes I can see it, but how do I talk to it?
Speaking of stalker, just once I think it would be hilarious to see a celebrity stalking a fan as opposed to vice versa. There's some REAL tabloid news!
THIS JUST IN!! TWILIGHT VAMP HUNK ROBERT PATTINSON SEEN SNOOPING AROUND ALLEDGED VAMP FAN'S HOME!!

I would read that magazine.
