Chose to Lose

So that’s the name of the challenge we joined at the Y. 

Even though I’m almost a week late, first workout back in a gym was tonight.

31min treadmill.

8 weight stations.

Tired limbs.

The week ends tomorrow, so i have to do it all over again before i go to work. ugh.

Introducing Team….:

So, My buddy Micah kind of helped me through my journey last year until September when i started Paramedic school and pretty much quit my cardio and stuff.

He encouraged me recently to join the YMCA locally with him and his friend to start Team BigMcLargeHuge in the Lose It challenge.  It’s like The Biggest Loser. Yeah. That. BUT, after a cardio hiatus from September on, he is undoubtedly confident that it will boost my motivation and get me moving again. Since It’s a challenge, and i can’t back down, he also knows i will do whatever i can to meet the goals set forth by the challenge.

Scary and exciting times are ahead. I have a shit-ton on my plate between work, school, my band, and now a gym.

Im kind of excited!

Soon-to-be-Wednesday, week-so-far wrap up

Sunday: 317.2lbs.  That’s a -3 from last week. Also, work.

Monday: slept at base… worked 7am-11pm. Forgot what my home looked like.

Tuesday(today, sort of) sleeeeeeeeeeeep/school.

Wednesday: work 7am-11pm with 6 bottles of water ready and packed. Must keep hydrated!

Thursday: brings a new change to the Life of Brian. Details to come. Wish me some luck!

I have logged every food and drink item i have consumed this week, and have been under my calorie goals every single day. I still struggle with the craving of garbage food again. I’ve fought this battle before and won. I’m sure I will win again.  Why is it, when someone puts their whole mind, body, and will into something, anything is achievable? Ask me again come Springtime.

I missed my 2011 end of the year update…..HUGE update time

And i’ve been called out on it!   http://missmarisol.tumblr.com/ called me out on it.  So, now i make a HUGE update, with PICTURES! Hot Diggity Damn!

Reasons I’ve been busy = lazy, paramedic school, first day off in 15 days.

Excuses….. none. My fault, I’m sorry.

Almost anniversary.

I am preparing an end of the year post…hopefully with pictures… to show 1years progress.  The problem is my old laptop. When it died, I havent yet tried to rescue my old pics. Hopefully Facebook can redeem my loss, lol. 

My weekly check in is bad. Thank you Christmas goodies for the +4 (and thank u to all the beer i’ve been drinking lately.)

Merry (Late) Christmas

Wishing everyone on Tumblr a very Merry Christmas. I worked today. Such is life for an EMT. Im glad everyone stayed safe out there. =)

The year is ending

Reminding myself of what a year can include. Also reminding myself that year two of this journey is just as important.
