Rainy Days = Lazy Days

So, it has been raining and cold the last couple of days. Now I realize that is of course not a good excuse, but I am using it as one for not going to the gym the past couple of days.... it has just been too nice and warm in my bed in the morning to move!! lol... I'm going to go tomorrow morning, and get back on track... I promise...

I also have a goal of -5 pounds by February 16 so I am going to get back to the gym and start again hard...

Future Me

So my friend from work has been helping me achieve my weight loss and fitness goals, told me awhile ago that I should find a picture of someone who I would like to model myself after. Well, the first girl I picked was some crazy fitness Olympian, and so my idea was shot down pretty early lol! But anyway, I couldn't find anyone who was what I wanted to look like, but I did find 2 different pictures out of some fitness magazines that I'd like to look like. Here they are:

I want to have this kind of lower body built. The abs are pretty crazy, but I think in the long term it is quite possible:

I'd like this kind of arm definition:

I realize of course that getting anywhere near these girls is going to be like 3 years or so away from now. I need to focus on losing the weight for now, but I wanted to have these posted as a reminder for myself as well as to have a tangible goal in view.

New Training

Well, I've been eating good for the last couple of weeks, but I haven't been consistent with going to the gym this past week. Starting Monday I am going to start fresh again going every day and getting back into the routine. I've got 42 more pounds to go, and I'm hoping to hit that by this summer! I will keep you posted on how it goes :)

-58 LBS...

Well, I'm finally over being sick, but I had a project due at work this past Friday so I wasn't able to make it to the gym for a couple of days. But, I still managed to lose 3 more pounds in the last 2 weeks which puts me at a total loss of 58!! I am finally under 190 pounds!!

Dreaded Lurgi Strikes San Diego

Well, I do suppose that if I had taken up a brass instrument then maybe I would've gotten better sooner, but alas, I have been sick for this entire week!! I was unable to go to the gym at all this week due to feeling terrible, but I am starting to feel much better now. If all is well tomorrow, I am going to go to the gym. I'm going to have to take it easy this week at the gym so that I don't get a relapse of sickness. But after next week, my friend is going to start a circuit training schedule for me to do. I'm not entirely sure what it all entails, but I suppose I will find out soon!

Bicycle Ride

My husband, Chris, and I have decided to spend every Saturday that we can doing some outdoor activity. This was my weekend to pick what we did, and so we rented cruiser bicycles on Coronado and bicycled around town. It was great fun, and I got to test out my new GPS tracker too! We ended up circling the island and getting somewhere near 9 miles of total cycling. Here are a few pictures of our day today :)

5k Pictures!

I finally finished the disposable camera today and got the film developed from the 5k my husband and I ran in December. Enjoy!!

Here we are before the race:
