WOW, i can't believe I DID IT!!!

I've decided that from now on, i'll do a weekly update instead of a daily one! Anyhow, this morning we got up at 6am to go running at an elementary school nearby. Yesterday we didn't get to workout due to a death in the extended family....and so because of that, my "personal trainer"/husband, told me that I had to run 3 miles today! I was like, WHAAAAAAAAAT?????? Are you kidding me? I "HATE" RUNNING...and you want me to run 3 WHOLE MILES??? The whole morning I was thinking, I am gonna die...I can't do this...I was seriously trying to think up a really good excuse for me to stop at either 1 1/2-2 miles in! And sad to say........I couldn't work up the courage to ask my "trainer" if I could just STOP and finish it later on in the day, cause 1) he woulda said "NO" anyway, & 2) like I said in a previous post, when it's time to work-out, he doesn't "give a rats!!" lol! Sooooooo, you know what I did???



I RAN ALL 3 MILES, without stopping!!! Wait, I did stop to take a tiny sip of water, and was right back at it to finish off the race...haha! But I really did finish those 3 miles without dropping to the ground, or making up some LAME excuse to stop! I mean, I have to admit, my feet were killing me, but that's what happens when I wear shoes that are too narrow for my WIDE feet, LOL. I was so proud of myself for FINISHING IT!! I haven't done that since I was a senior in highschool playing volleyball for my mother, who used to make us run from Malaekahana back to the highschool gym.(but I think that was only like a mile though) In the end, I was able to walk away with my head kinda held high, haha!

remember...

Remember my post back in January about the NO MORE FAST FOOD and what not?? hehehe...yah well, I have come to confess, that I GAVE IN to it already in March!! hahaha...the funny thing is, it was NOT hard to do, nor was it hard to continue, BUUUUUT, when you live in a house of more than 1 family in it, and those other families LOVE to buy fastfood for dinner, than ofcourse it WOULD BE HARD!! If you want to eat dinner, and don't have the money to go and buy something to make for your own lil' family, then you have to just eat what's there, or STARVE!! Sooooooooo, sad to say, that didn't last very long. But we don't eat it as much as we used too, so I guess it did help out.

Also, I don't think I put this in my post about THE BIGGEST LOSER, but I am not doing this ALONE....I am going up against my best friend/husband/eternal companion on our "BIGGEST LOSER" competetion. It's emabarassing for me to tell you all that my husband weighs less than I do, lol!! But, I'm pretty sure that if MEN were the ones having kids, they too would have the same problem...but I know my husband would do something about it alot sooner than I do, haha! I tend to make tons of excuses to NOT work-out...but nowdays, when it's time to work-out, my husband becomes my personal trainer and just doesn't "give a rats" about my pain, and how tired I get...haha!! (which is fine by me) If I really do want this(the weight loss & the family trip) than I WILL DO WHATEVER I HAVE TOO to get it!! Anyways, I just thought I'd come & give a little update on my goals that I've posted from earlier in the year!! Enjoy!!

~DaY 2~

OUCH...ugh...**yawn**!! And that was only from DAY #2...i still got about 4 months left to reach my goal weight, OH BOY! So this morning I worked out at 5am, this time doing some "mountain climbers", some lunges, & the thing I "hate" to do the most..RUNNING, lol. Buuuuuuuut, if it's going to help me get to where I will be happy with myself, then I guess it's ok with me! Anyways, had a good workout this morning, got showered and ready to take the hubby to work and waited for the little girl that I just started watching last week to come over.

The rest of the day turned out to be a pretty good one I'd say...that is until I go to pick up my husband from work, and he tells me, "If I get done with my test early tonite, then we are going to work-out AGAIN"..................Soooooooooo NOT the words I was wanting to hear from him, lol. I worked out already in the morning, why do I have to do it again? Yes, I am only on day 2, but already complaining....STORY OF MY LIFE!! lol...but ANYWAYS, for those of you who DO NOT know my husband, I'd feel sorry for ME TOO, LMBO!!! j/k! He, unlike MYSELF, loves to workout...and when he is working someone else out, he will make you go till you are about ready to fall FLAT ON YOUR FACE. Ok, so maybe I didn't fall on my face, but if he made me punch that punching bag one more time, I woulda made HIM fall on HIS face!! bahahahahahaha...j/k babe!! You know I would NEVER do something like that.

.....all in all, I made it through day #2, and I am in such {{PAIN}} right now! But NO PAIN, NO GAIN right?? GO HARD or GO HOME.....right now, all I feel like doing is just GOING TO BED!! That is my blog for today...more to come possibly tomorrow!! lol...

--the BIGGEST LOSER--

Ever since there have been POLYNESIAN people on the show, I have been a dedicated fan of THE BIGGEST LOSER!! I love watching the show every Tuesday night from 7pm-9pm, lol. What makes it even better, is the fact that the polys' do such a good job on the "ranch". For some odd reason, it seems harder to lose the weight at HOME with family around, than it is to do it on the "ranch" with a bunch of strangers, and Jillian & Bob!! My guess is, with all the temptations...the good polynesian food, the junk food, the peer pressure, LOL, etc...that's what makes it hard!! But if we were disciplined enough, it wouldn't be all that bad now, wouldn't it? Well, for me, my biggest WEAKNESS is JUNKFOOD....but who doesn't love to eat it right? I have such a BAD HABIT of ALWAYS splurging on sweets, and use my kids as an excuse for buying em' too :( BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! I vow to CONTROL my eating habits, especially when it comes to that!!

Soooooo, with all that said, I have taken upon myself, the challenge of being A "BIG LOSER"!!! hahaha, funny how when you NORMALLY use those terms, it doesn't mean anything good. But in MY CASE, it will probably help me to be a much happier wife, mother, friend, daughter, teacher, & person....cause when I am HAPPY with MYSELF, it makes life much easier to live!! Because I have started this blog, I thought "what a perfect place" for me to record my progress from beginning to end!! So, as of today, April 12th 2010, I weighed in at 2--#(that is for me to know, and you to NEVER find out, LOL)...my goal is get back down to around 195# by August 8th, before I leave to Utah! If...oh wait, hold up, "WHEN" I accomplish that goal, my husband has agreed to take our lil' family on a well-deserved trip to HAWAII since my 2 youngest have not been yet...YAY!! My husband told me that in the only way he thinks I will actually DO THIS & STICK TO IT, is if there is a BIG REWARD or PRIZE in the end, which he's mostly right...LOL! And if I don't accomplish my goal by August 8th, then our family will only be going to Vegas for our family trip, which is still fine with me, but come on....I'd rather be in Hawaii!! lol

This morning was my first day, and I woke up at 5am....at least the alarm went off at 5am, lol! I got out of bed at about 5:20ish...and my husband had me do some leg workouts!! It's been a while, so I was being kinda sluggish, but I did everything he told me too!! I'm proud of myself!! So from here on out, I will be keeping track of my weight loss/gain, hahaha, here on my blog!! GO TEAM ARI!!! lol
