A little bump in the road...

Okay. So it's been a long while since my last blog. I do seriously apologize!
I have to keep regular appointments with my doctor. I had an appointment a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't too good. I'm okay. I was told to hold off on the "dieting" and exercising for a while. I can go for walks but nothing to physical.
So this is my speed bump in my road. It sucks BIG TIME!
He didn't say I couldn't get obsessed about my house. That in itself keeps me pretty physical!
So now these days instead of doing my cardio and restricting what I eat, I am now a clean freak! I have to be doing something every minute of the day! It's unbelievable!
So now my house is organized. When I'm done organizing it, I have to go and rearrange it just to have something to do. When I sit down and try to relax, I end up thinking about what I have to do next or what I can do next. So I end up getting up and doing it instead of resting. It's crazy!
It's the same here at work. I have reorganized our supply closet like 50 million times, cleaned out my desk, and organized the files. Now my next mission is to tackle the file room.
I started this keeping busy stuff on Monday, so I can tell now that it's working. I feel more energized. I feel like I can do anything! My pants are as tight as they were before. I haven't gotten on the scale to see if I have actually lost pounds but I know for a fact that I have lost inches. That's good!
I encourage everyone to get up and move around their house or office. You'll feel the difference in a couple of days I can almost guarantee it!
Well this is it for now. I know it's pretty short. If y'all have any questions or comments let me know! Thank you for reading today!

waiting, how long do I have to wait?

So, I have gone on just about all the Fitness Trainers websites. I have filled out my questionnaires, health surveys, and all the information they need to see what i the heck they can do to help me. It's been over a week already and I have only heard from 1 trainer so far! At that, the trainer wanted MORE information to get my fitness analysis and needs done.
So what do you do? I went ahead and e-mailed her all the information she requested. She also requested a picture of me in a bikini! Can you believe it? ME in a bikini??? YEAH RIGHT! I don't think so! She said she needs it to evaluate what I look like. So after much consideration and careful thought I figured, if she really needs it then I'll go ahead and do it! First thing first, I need to go buy a bikini.
So I am on a mission this week to find a bikini that doesn't make me look that bad. Is there such a thing? If anyone out there knows of any, let me know where to find it! Good luck to myself in bikini hunting!
I have been eating like there has been no tomorrow! I bought all good food. I'm going to try and stay on a low fat or at least under 1200 calories. At least until they give me a diet plan. I vary rarely go out to eat so that is not a problem for me. What is the problem is I am addicted to ice cream and cookies! Occasionally chips, (Doritos to be exact). So I eat healthy for a couple of days and then out of no where I find I have a cookie in my mouth or a bowl full of ice cream. Naturally I don't feel at all guilty about it until after it's all gone and I have licked the bowl clean!
Part of this challenge is to learn how to avoid those foods. I have them in the house and I don't think I'll ever have a home without them. I have children in the house. Yes, I do limit what they can eat and try to get them to eat healthy, but the occasional cookies and ice cream or chips with their sandwich won't hurt THEM. So I will continue to buy them. I just have to build up my will power, tolerance, and strength to stay away from them. I know I can do it! I did it just last year up until May of this year! I just wish that there was a switch in the back of my head that I can turn off so I don't crave those foods anymore.
I've cleared up a space to work out in. I have a TV set up and my DVD player in there too. All I have to do is start. I have a whole library of DVDs and I have a friend who is going to lend me some of hers. I can't wait. I am seriously going to start tonight. I am not going to go out and buy any specialized work out equipment. I don't have the money for it or the space. I specified that to the trainers I have picked out and asked them to work around this. I do have the 5 pound hand weights and I think some where in my storage area I have some 3 pound leg weights. When the time is right, I will start using them. I'm a weakling right now and can barley handle my limbs on there own!
So, there you have it! I'm still alive and kicking. I'm still looking for a trainer. But in the meantime, I will tackle this on my own.
If any one of you out there have any suggestions on any work out DVDs, email me: Gallegos503@msn.com . I'd really appreciate it! Thank you for reading and I'll post again in a couple of days.

My new Plan of Attack. WATCH OUT!

Okay so it's been a couple of days since I last posted on here for you guys. I have been eating good. I've been cooking my breakfast and lunches. I've had chicken breast, boiled and eggs, scrambled and hard boiled. Si I pretty much have a bland diet. It's not to exciting for me and hard to keep me motivated. I do appreciate all the calls and emails you guys have been sending me cheering me on! That helps a whole lot!
So I started walking again. I walk 13 blocks one way and back. I haven't weighed myself yet and I think I'm going to hold off until next week. I have been researching the net again to see what kind of meals and recipes I can find to spice up my food. So I decided, I want a personal trainer! Okay I know we are not rich and realistically we cannot afford one. But I found a site that has free on\line personal training with meal plans. It's called Freetrainers.com. They give me a week at a time meal plan with a week at a time exercises program. Of course I have to input on a daily basis what I ate what exercises I did. If I don't it won't give me the next weeks plan. I figure I want to look and feel good. If this plan can give it to me then so be it! I am excited! I am going to start it on Sunday. I am so stoked about it. My real goal in my head is to actually find one of those fitness competitions near by like sometime next year and enter it. So how realistic that is I really don't know. That's hat I want to do. So, my journey is only getting better. I really wanted to lose weight like super fast. I wanted to hopefully lose my 20 pounds that I gained before August first but I know that cannot happen in a healthy way.
My plan for my body transformation:
I would like to get my belly as close to a six pack as I can get.I want to get my arms nice and toned.
I would like to walk around with out a bra, sorry guys but it's true, with out having my boobs sag down to my waist.
I want some definition in my pencil legs.
I want to wear a bra and not make it look like I have 20 rolls around my bra in the back!
Last but not least, I would like to have my butt transformed! It is flatter than a wall right now. I want to actually have a booty! and not a jiggly one either!
I have a mental picture of what I want to look like and I know it can be done. I have seen before and after pictures n different Trainers websites. I would post a picture of what I look like now, in a bikini, but I have a couple of problems with that. First, I don't own a bikini. Next, I don't want you guys to get either sick to your stomach, or get super nightmares and never want to read my blog again! So I'll spare you. I'll see if I can get a picture of me in jeans and a t-shirt. I'll post that! That will keep this more G rated! lol
Just to let you all know what I am starting out at, I'll give you some stats that I haven't given to you guys in the past posts.
I'm 5'4", I weigh in at 171 pounds, I am in a size 12, and my bra size is a 36 F.
So there you all go! All the gory details of my body. That should give y'all a mental picture of what I look like.
This is a short post, and I do apologize. I will post again on Monday morning. The day after my first day of training. I hope everyone has a fun, happy, and safe 4Th of July! Enjoy the fireworks! Oh yeah and I fixed this site so you can post comments. Sorry about that!
Have a super fabulous weekend!!!!!!!!!
