So... This is my life now

Wow... it's been awhile. I am now 31 years old...

God, I'm old.

 For the past year, I've been living in a small house with three roommates on the water. Yes, the water!

 

Prepare to be jealous of  my view!

 

Ready?

 

Bam!

 

 

 

It's ok, I'd be jealous too.

 

Unfortunately, do to circumstances beyond my control, I'm back at my parents house for a bit.

Right now, I'm not in a good place. I'm not happy, but I have a plan!

 

Plans are cool!

 

I'm going to keep myself SO incredibly busy that I barely even have time to think about what has happened.

 

What plans do you ask?

 

First, I'm in training with my best friend for the Ridiculous Obstacle Course(ROC) race.

 

What is the ROC race you ask?

 

This is the ROC race!

 

 



 

Doesn't that look awesome!!!!

 

Check out their website!

Granted, there is still no scheduled date for the Maryland area. I have hope that by the time they do, I will be ready!

 

We have already begun our training. I am up to walking 4 miles, 35 minutes on the elliptical and 2nd floor on the stair climber( what I like to personally call the "Stairway to Hell"). No, I do not do them in that order, that is where I'm with each one respectively.

 

Since, I assume, with training I will be losing weight, I've decided to keep a photo diary of my weight lose progress. This is mwah at 300 something lbs. (shh! My weight is SUPER secret! Don't tell anyone!)

 

 

These were taken in Alexandria, Virigina on an awesome weekend with my two best friends.

 

 

I hate getting my pictures taken. I do not like looking at the pictures because ... to be honest I do not like seeing how far I've let myself go. Getting my pictures taken on the other hand is a whole different story.

 

Anyway, every 10 pounds I'll add a photo.

 

It's late and I'm off to bed; in the basement where my parents put their ill-begotten child who moves back in with them at the age of 31.

I Lost 3.6lbs This Week!

This week has been my first week back on weight watchers and I lost 3.5lbs!!! How awesome is that!

I also "enjoyed" my first workout at LA Fitness. OMG!! I still feel the burn. Plus, some of the equipment looks like torture devices. Well, they kinda are, but I'm talking about the ones that would be used on 'Saw'.

I hope the weight loss continues on because I have less then 70 days left til the cruise

I Joined a Gym

I finally did it! I joined a gym!

I joined LA Fitness because they have a pool and I LOVE to swim!! I figured if I have to lose weight,I might as well do be doing something I enjoy.

I intially signed up for a tour at the gym and was impressed. They have monitors on all cardio equipment with iPod/iPhone hook-ups. OMG! I didn't realize the gym was so high tech! Craziness!!

The gym is only 6 months old, so everything was new and shiny. The bathroom was beautiful. Enough room in the lockers to hang my work clothes. The plan is to go swimming before work. Unfortunately I will not be able to start tomorrow because I need to go buy essential items like a lock, goggles and a swim cap.

I tried to see if I could get a trainer for a few sessions, to learn the equipment,  and it cost a $100 something a  month to see a trainer for 4x a month! Honestly, its either have an iPhone or a trainer and an iPhone will win hands down every round. I <3 my iPhone. I have yet to lose my iPhone. My precious...
