Post Xmas breakdown

Today I finally got off my butt and went to the dumb gym. I haven't been since my last blog which was on the 15th. Today is now the 30th....way to go Julie. I was telling Anthony yesterday that I'm pissed off and frustrated with myself for not going in so long so he made get on the phone right that second and make some appts with Antonio. I'm glad he did that....I'm the queen of procrastination. Since I didn't see him hardly at all in December, I have 15 sessions that I need to use. So I'm going to see him 4 days in a row next week and 4 days in a row the week after that.

Anyway, today we did shoulders, chest and triceps. It was pathetic and painful. Then I did a mile on the treadmill and a mile on the elliptical. It was sad....I wanted to fall over and die by the time I was done. I'm looking forward to getting back to where I used to be.

Christmas was great this year! We went to Chelan for Christmas Eve and then off to Yakima for Xmas day. We had a great time at both houses. I had some gym themed presents:

New shoes from Amoney

iPod Nano from Mom and Dad

My new shoes are awesome! No shin pain and no numb toesies. And they're cute and pink!

For New Year's, we're going to Will and Liz's for a regular old people NYE complete with spaghetti, mexican train and Apples to Apples. Should be fun!

what a frickin' day

I went to my Antonio appointment today and we did the dreaded core routine. Oh abs, I know you're in there...I can feel you; I just hope you make an appearance someday soon. I really gave it 100% today and didn't cheat my way through. Which just means I'm going to be hurting tomorrow. 

I didn't do any cardio because Anthony and I had a hot date to go Christmas shopping. We were going to go to the Tacoma mall, but at the last minute decided to go to Southcenter so we could go to Fry's as well. We just went to Nordstrom real quick and then as we were trying to get out of the parking lot, we got t-boned by a big ass Jeep Cherokee. UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!! He hit on my side so I conked my head pretty good. The whole passenger side is caved in and the doors won't open. The transmission is shifted because 2nd gear is now drive. Also, the key won't come out of the ignition. Wonderful! The poor guy that hit us was so pissed at himself and he was really nice. His Jeep was a rental and he was on the way to the airport to go home to Boise.

Oh tons of fun! Just glad it was in a parking lot and not on the freeway.

5K, what!

After my boohoo blog last night, my mom told me I need to take this one day at a time; alcoholic style. Which is pretty right on seeing as how I'm a junk foodaholic and a lazyaholic. So I'm taking it more like one hour at a time and one meal at a time.

I thought I had an appointment with Antonio tonight but I realized my days were mixed up when I was on my way there. So I got to the gym and hopped on the treadmill. I only wanted to do a mile because I've been really tired today. I started out and my shins were killing me but I kept going anyway. I got to a mile and decided to just stay on for another half mile. Once I got there, I realized I was halfway to 3.1 miles which is 5K so I decided to keep going till I was sick of it. Next thing I know, I'm at 3 miles and I only have .1 to go! Holy buckets, I couldn't believe it! It took me 53 minutes, but I did it. Whoa doggies...I still can't believe it. My entire body hurts now but I'll live.

Tomorrow, Antonio....I think we're doing abs. Ugh.

talkin' bout meeeeee

I've been really depressed this weekend. I don't know why. I think it's because I feel like my trip to Maui set me back to square one. I gained back all 30 pounds that I lost before I left. I didn't go to the gym at all this weekend. I've only been there 3 times since I've been back. I guess I feel like it's such a huge mountain to climb, what's the point? I've been a fat fattie all my life so I'm used to it. I've given up on trying to wear cute clothes.

I don't know....I'm just whining I guess. I'm in a pretty big slump. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. It's not like I'm gonna cancel my gym membership. They charge like $300 to cancel! Probably a good thing, otherwise I would've canceled awhile ago.

Anyway, sorry to be Debbie Downer but I really needed to get all this shit outta my brain and into the thin air that is this blog. 

yesterday and today

Yesterday was a great day at the gym. I did 2.5 miles on the treadmill and one mile on the elliptical. I was so happy because my shins didn't hurt for once in my life! Pretty wonderful. Today, I had an appointment with Antonio and we did back and biceps. It wasn't too bad, but I have a feeling my arms are going to hurt tomorrow. Then I did 2 miles on the treadmill and only about 7 minutes on the elliptical. I had to leave because I was starrrrrrving and I couldn't think about anything else but a sandwich.

In other news, Anthony is sicker than a dog. He woke up coughing yesterday and he's been going downhill since then. He's got a pretty rockin' fever and he can't sleep because the coughing is so bad. Poor guy. I've been making him chicken noodle soup and PBJ sammies. I think he's turned into an 8 year old. But I do the same thing when I'm sick, so it's allowed. Bella's being so sweet. She knows her dad is sick so she's been laying on his belly and licking his face. She loves her dad so much! 

I can't believe that Christmas is only 2 weeks away! I've barely done anything yet. We don't even have our tree. :( We were going to get it this morning but Anthony's so sick, there's no way he can even get out of bed. I've addressed our xmas cards, so at least I have that going for me. I still have no idea what we're getting anyone....ugh!! I'm sure I'll figure it out before the 25th.

been awhile

Soooooo....it's been a long time. We got back from Maui late Thursday night and I didn't go to the gym all weekend. I finally went tonight for the first time in 80 zillion years, only because I had an appointment with Antonio. He measured me and I gained 5 inches while I was gone. Better than 6 inches I guess. I knew I didn't do so hot. I only went running twice and I ate a lot of macadamia nuts. But not one single Maui chip which is a huuuuge deal! 

Today I only did a mile on the treadmill and a mile on the elliptical. That's all I could stand. My shins were hurting big time. And besides that, this creepy creeper was running next to me with his molester mustache and he was wearing 15 gallons of nasty, cheap cologne which promptly burned my nosehairs off. I had to leave. He was checking out all the hot skinny girls that walked by too. Yuck...he reminded me of why I hate the gym so much.

Now I have a headache because I'm not hydrating like I should. I kinda feel like I'm starting from the beginning. Tomorrow, the goal is to hydrate, do 4 miles at the gym and get our xmas tree!
