Ok so this week has been crazy and it only seems to be getting worse! I didn't make it to the gym on Monday, had a Quiz due Tuesday, then a test to take Wednesday for the same class... -__-' so I wasn't able to make it to the gym Wednesday, went to tutoring before the test O_o. I've been trying to study/prepare for my finals (that are next week!) I have a project due this Sunday for my webmaster class which I haven't even finished. I just found out that I have to take another 50 question Final exam for my Networking class that I can not stand (I just did a 50 question Final for this class on Sunday...) Went to a review (today) for my Programming class and I had no clue what my professor was talking about...
And worst of all... -sighs- this is going to take some explanation. Yesterday I was rushing out the house to make it to the school so that I could study before my test... I left my snack at home so I had to stop by Walmart and buy some sugar-free pudding, I was then supposed to drive to McDonalds to pick up a salad because I didn't have time to cook... Forgot to go to McDonalds. So for lunch I had a turkey sub from the school (I'm pretty sure I ate too much bread) then for dinner I went to McDonalds, I ordered a Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad with Balsamic Vingerette dressing, got home and realized the chicken was crispy not grilled; oh and it smelled so good! I removed the chicken and continued eating my salad... but I kept eyeballing the chicken... Eventually I ended up eating the chicken and the sad thing about it was that it wasn't even that good! So disappointed in myself

Your going DOWN!
Reward 1 has been reached!!!
I have lost 31lbs and it feels so GOOD! I bought my reward a little early (Couldn't pass up $2.50 pants and $3.00 shirts!!!)
A little down side to my pants is that they don't have a drawstring so once they get too big I'll have to buy some more, but hey they were only $2.50 so no complaints from me!
I now weigh 211.4!!! How awesome is that? This means that I'm only 9lbs away from reaching 40lbs lost AND I'm only 12lbs away from reaching the 100's!!! O_O'
Stay Tuned for more Updates...Healthier Me

Please don't stop the Music
I just realized that my music motivates me to push harder during my work-outs. I mean it is such an important factor for me especially when I'm on the treadmill. For example when I'm jogging I can feel myself about to give up and start walking but then this Kick @$% song comes on, now I'm pumped! and I push it the hardest towards the end I experience this feeling of euphoria {Cue the big stupid cheesy grin} when I know I've pushed myself when working out.
I just thought I'd share what music gets me bumping! So here's my playlist.
Anime/Techno:

Making Progress
Just wanted to post my Progress pics and how I'm looking so far. Can you see a difference??
Sorry I look so rough in the After photos, I don't feel well. I'm not sure if I'm getting sick or if I've some how gotten Allergies?? Who knows! All I know is that I've been sneezing all day and my nose has been running. Weird thing is that it started as soon as I left the gym today. Oh yea! Before I forget to mention it, I made my 5 min jog today @ 3.9 speed!!! Woo I was feeling GREAT! Until I dropped my freaking I-pod and now my headphones are messed up and no I did not stop to pick it up, I kept going... What a weird, interesting day this has been LOL!
*Note: in the last photo I'm not trying to make a muscle, just trying to show the fatty meat hanging from my bones LOL
Before Pics: 3/28/11 {Weight: 221.2} After Pics: 4/19/11 {Weight: 213.6}

Hips dont Lie pt.2
Here are my recent measurements!
| Date | May 23, 2010 | March 15, 2011 | April 18, 2011 |
| Weight | 248 lb | 225.6 lb | 213.6 |
| Arms* | L-17 R-17 | L-16 1/2 R-16 | L-15 1/2 R-15 |
| Upper Chest* | 45 1/2 | 42 1/2 | 41 |
| Chest* | 48 1/2 | 45 1/2 | 44 |
| Waist* | 51 | 47 1/2 | 44 |
| Hips* | 51 1/2 | 48 3/5 | 48 |
| Thighs* | L-32 R-33 | L-30 R-30 | L-28 1/2 R-28 3/4 |
The only results I can say that I truly see are in my thighs and hips. Everything else I might need a magnifying glass...Ok so maybe I can see that my stomach has gone down just the tiniest bit, but when I look in the mirror, sometimes I can't see my results. When will I be able to see that my hard work has paid off? ='(

Good Endings
Rough Starts can lead to Good Endings!
So today is Sunday 4/17/11 and you guys know what that means! I weighed in today and my scale reported back to me 213.6!!!
Instead of me saying Great endings or Fabulous ending, I said Good endings because I set a goal, but I have not yet accomplished that goal. Last week when I weighed in at 216.2, I saw that I had lost 26lbs, when I realized how close I was to reaching 30lbs lost, I decided that I would try my best to lose those last few pounds to make it to 30lbs this week, but I didn't quite make it...
I needed to lose 3.8lbs but I only lost 2.6
But you know what made my 2.6 so special! I went and told my mom how much I weighed (like I do every week) and she says "Your doing so good T! Do you realize how close you are to being out of the 200's?"
I think my brain shut down when she said that cause when the gears in my head started functioning again I started thinking *"Really? (Duh stupid your scale just said 213.6) OMG! She's right! I am very close to being out of the 200's!!!"*
{Cue the Cheesing like an Idiot moment!}
So it's ok that I didn't make 30lbs this week cause I know without a doubt that next week I'll hit my 30lb mark and then some!

Ulterior Motives
I think my body is trying to tell me something... I've hit the emergency stop button on the Treadmill two days in a row now (on accident of course!).
The first time I did it which was yesterday, Thursday 4/14/11, I just shrugged my shoulders turned the Treadmill back on and finished out my workout (I added an extra 2 minutes to make up for lost time lol). The second time I hit the dang button was today and I was heated! The only reason I got upset was because I was doing my jog at 3.9 speed and I had reached my 4 minute goal mark I usually set for myself...well today was different because just as soon as I felt my body shutting it self down to start walking this song comes on
I don't know if it was just because of the fast tempo but whatever, I felt rejuvenated! I knew I could make 5 minutes today, my strides were longer, I got my breathing under control (kinda sorta)... But NOOOOO!!! Obviously my body wasn't thinking along the same way as I was, because with only 20 seconds to spare. I accidentally hit the emergency stop button. FREAKING 20 SECONDS TO SPARE!!! I would have accomplished a new goal today but I hit the dang stop button!
But you know what!? I didn't let that little incident stop me! I jumped back on that dang Treadmill and cranked the speed up to 4.0! Now mind you, I only was only able to jog a good 3mins at 4.0 before I had to lower my speed back to 3.3, but I was feeling good! I felt so good in fact that I jogged another minute (yes just 1minute) at 3.8 and just because I felt bad about turning off the Treadmill, after my usual 15 minutes on the Bike I did another 10 minutes on the Elliptical.
