day 32,33

Incredible how time flies by you.When you dedicate yourself to something and truly love it, its amazing.I am in need of doing groceries...I just cannot wait to buy everything fresh and Green!I have so many recepes up my sleeve..
On friday kim is extending Zumba class to 1 hour and a half for valentines and chinese new year lol I am so dissapointed i cannot make it, i have to work! I really wish i could get out of working just so i can dance for an extra half an hour.Wow! wish i was there.
thats it for now

day 31

I can still remember sitting on my couch watching tv,eating anything i craved which most of the time would have been either chips or chocolate,maybe icecream,or hey why not a greasy ass sandwich..even order some junk food for dinner mmmm nothing like a souvlaki pita with a whole bunch of fries and softdrink to wash it down.
So sad....so gross....i felt so tired , lazy,unmotivated to do anything.I didnt care about myself..I would not like what i saw in the mirror and always said "this isnt me, the real me is sexy ".....i waited so long before i actually did something and realised how great it is to feel full of energy,how it feels to lose 1 lb..how great it is to run up and down the stairs..I am so thankful that i am out of that rut,i promiss i will never go back to that place again.At this point i just want to continue this journey forever and enjoy healthy juicy yummy delicious foods.
That person on the couch really missed out on what a great life should be.
Life is wonderful when you push yourself.

Day 30

"Jumping up and down" day 30, day 30!!!!!!!! I made it!!! 1 month went by so fast!!!!!!!! I am so happy today, i am proud of myself! The good news is that I never thaught this could be so fun!!! I just got back from the gym and just had the best work out ever! I've added alot of weights to my program and it sure feels good...hmmmm I love it when it burns!! hehhhehe...
I actually made it to Zumba last night and felt great, it actually helps the cramps for me when i work out.After the gym, the boys and i had a nice walk so i feel really complete and in shape today!Oh and might i just add that i have alot more energy these days and i mean that in every aspect of my life ahem..(winks)
2 more months to go! I better start losing some weight! so far i've only lost 4 lbs,i am gaining muscle which is fine by me..i know I'm doing everything i can:O)

day 29

well the kids have a ped day and i don't have a sitter so i'm home all day which means ill be munching alot more! But....I'm ready and prepared !!! I have fruits and veggies all clean and cut ready for me.I'm gonna cook a nice dinner this evening..baked chicken with some greens on the side, i was planning to go to my dance class this evening but not so sure i can since my devil visitor has returned!
I definatley see a change when i look in the mirror, my neck seems thinner, longer..For some reason this is where the weight starts shedding, in the face ,neck, shoulders.Unfortunatley the last place is the stomach!Again, consistancy is the key...following through...going to the gym....eating lots of protein...lots of veggies...drinking alot of water! No matter what theres no other way!
I will enjoy my day off with the kids today,i will also make time for the gym and do some weight training,this is also very important in losing weight..I have to say I;m feeling great!

i haven't fallen yet! im still strong as ever!just got back from my zumba class! I love it more than ever..the class is awesome,theres more people now in the class..I am eating very healthy,lots of protein..lots of greens and for some reason always want fruit..not a bad thing..even tho it holds alot of sugar atleast its not carbs!
At this point i truly feel that its much easier,i;m enjoying the gym, I love cooking and eating healthy stuff..it just becomes a habbit a way of life.My goal now is to push harder at the gym, make a bigger effort,i really want to see results soon!
