Well, if the carbohydrates don't kill you, (no, they don't need a bun, they have enough carbs in that breaded fried mixture to kill a diabetic), then the fat will.. but even if that doesn't kill you and you get the grilled version, the sodium will kill you from the hypertension. Enjoy!

I feel bloated.. damn you sodium! I'm just not used to you!!! *sighs*

Yes it will stop, but it will take time. It's not you who is pathetic, but he who is inept at realizing how wonderful you are. *hugs* Ugh.. stress is bad.. Take care of yourself sweetie *HUGS*

Went on a 8.5/9 mile walk yesterday, going backpacking this weekend, going 10 miles on Saturday, and 7.5 miles on Sunday!!! w00h00!!!

Happy Birthday.. pRick, did she forget her password? *giggles* (inside joke)

LOL That's awesome!!!

Go Sooty go!!!! How CUTE!!!!

Oh man!!! I would love to go, but I think I'm walking 11 miles tonight, and won't be done till like 9:30. MAYBE I will see, but I may be late showing up.

I don't know, I guess I just don't like changes, and this is a change... *starts nervous twitching*

Fitness Point Meeting: Today I had a fitness point meeting with a personal trainer at my gym. I learned some interesting things from him today, that I didn't know before. I heard some things that I didn't want to hear, but overall, it was a good experience. I learned that my body composition is 66.8% lean body mass, and of course 33.2% Fat mass, in order to optimize this, they want me to lose another 24 lbs. (that's it?!?!?!?) This part disappointed me. I want to be that number in my head I've had for a while now, and they want me to be like 20/30 lbs above that number. WTF?!?!?!?!!? BUT then again, that's less of a mental strain for me to lose the 24lbs, so I shouldn't complain. He said my body may shift, and junk, and I may lose lean muscle mass while working out, blah blah... I guess I should be more concerned about being healthy.. right?.. Right. The other interesting thing I learned was that my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is 1787 Calories.. WTF!?!?!? I do not eat anywhere NEAR that many calories.. My personal trainer actually yelled at me, and told me I was probably not eating enough, or consistently. By not eating enough, it forces my body to hold onto the fat, and lose muscle mass, this is BAD (apparently) Soooo... I guess since I've got the workout/motivation mastered, I need to master the eating thingie too. I've got a lot to work on, but at least I know where to focus my attentions.

I try to go every day, sometimes twice a day, but not everyone has such an open schedule in the morning like I do. I tell myself to go to the gym, or exercise every day, that way if I miss a day, I've still got six days I worked out! I try not to miss any tho. o0o0 good way of thinking! That's exactly what it is I had to do to go, and now after 12 weeks, I LOVE IT!!!! I actually switched gyms, because I liked this environment much better. The people there are more polite and up beat, and kinda made me enjoy going to the gym. I'm proud of you Eevee, at least you're already thinking about doing it, I think the hardest thing to overcome is the mental obstacle, now that that's over, as Nike says it, "JUST DO IT"

I think I may have that.. I've not been able to get rid of my cold for the past 12 weeks now. *sighs*

The fattening of America *sighs*

Holy crap! I totally agree with this statement, I didn't know they moved, and was really sad that they were no longer in the Oakland Mall, considering I moved near it recently. I will have to go to Sterling Heights now for my thai food. YUM!!!! A couple of my favorite restaurants are Toast in Ferndale & Birmingham, SUPURB breakfasts!!! and The Fly Trap. LOVE that place.

I approve of this statement. That's what I've been trying to do to myself.

Week 11 is now complete!!! No new weight loss to report, BUT I did run a mile and walk two miles today..w00h00!!! I'm feeling empowered. I have "Fitness Point" appointment on Monday, where they'll tell me what my body fat index is (no I will not share this with the rest of you) but they will also give me advice on what types of exercises I will need to do to optimize my workout, and get the body that I've been working toward.

Mmmmmm.. I LOVE spicy foods. I wanna try this too, but perhaps in food, and not straight up.

I joined a new gym, am excited, I exercised at it this morning, and wanted to take a class tonight, but am way way way way tired/drained. I will probably just go again tomorrow.

Tired.... very very tired.. :( I wanted to go to my new gym tonight to work out, but I don't know if I will have the energy to do it. I already went this morning, perhaps I should just rest. *sighs*

Week 10 is now over, and I'm working on week 11. I didn't make the best choices of food on my birthday weekend, but I do believe I did not overdo anything, so I think I'm doing well. I just got my last hemoglobin a1c results and it came back at a 5.2 (less than 5.7 and you're in REALLY good standings). At the start of my exercising, my hemoglobin a1c was 7, so I've come a long way. My healthy lifestyle has afforded me some fantastic weight loss, and possibly a few more years onto my life.

Awww you guys are fantastic!!! Thank you all so much!
