Hitting goal weight

So I think that the last time i blogged on this sight i was looking at doing some crazy diet. Well it was a total ana diet and it pissed me off a little. So as with most diets i a banded it and went on my way. I started logging my food into my fitness pal and reduced my calories. I try to eat clean, but also enjoy the goodies in life. I have currently lost 17 lbs and the best part is i have lost 5 inches off of my middle. My motivation that i love to watch on u tube is super skinny vs super sized. I love this show. It gives me a good view of a healthy body, a fit body. I am very proud of my hard work and will continue to fight the fight of the bulge. But I know that I am full of amazing things and that the way my body looks is the lest important to me, I like to focus on the way my body performs. The holidays are hear and logging my food will be key, but also keeping up on workouts, drinking water and making sure I make good clean chooses on days when I know that I don't have a party. Also remembering to only enjoy my favorites.

Daily workout

Today started out with a 4:30 am swim. I love swimming when the world is quiet. Then off to Strike, a kick butt boxing class that I love. I am grateful right now for my friends who are helping me stay fit. It is always motivating to have someone join you in workouts. Thanks Cat.

Tracy Anderson

Well, I think that Tracy Anderson has no taste buds, and she must think that everything needs to be made into mush. I have not been able to eat her diet as I think it is totally DISGUSTING!!!! I have modified many of her foods and instead of steaming and mashing all the food I am eating it fresh. I also add a few calories as most days she only has you eat around 900-1000 cals a day and that is not for me. I do not love her cardio....bla bla bla. I am beginning to wonder if this workout is for my ANA (anorexic) friends. They are low energy and not upbeat at all. I am doing my cardio of choose in place of hers. I do enjoy the hip exercises and think they are great, I have to have my own music, because the DVD has bla bla bla elevator music. If Tracy was really a dancer all she mastered was how to check her self out in the mirror. I like to have a little more fun, and not take myself this serious.  I guess what I realize is that I can make changes that make me happy and still see results. They may not be ANA, oh I mean Tracy results, but I have lost 4 lbs and I am feeling more fit every day. I will continue to use her toning CD's.

Tomorrow, I know... I'm staring a diet. Well actually yes.

I revived the Tracy anderson metamorphous in the mail and tomorrow will be the first day I have taken my before pictures and that is the inspiration that I need. I will follow the diet and exercise program with some additional exercise put in because I just can't stand not to ride my bike in the summer. I will also add some additional days of weights and I will not eat less than 1200 calories as I think this is unhealthy. Today will be prep day for the week.

one year ago....

So last year i was in the shape of my life, I had just finished ironman and was working out and eating right. Something went horribly wrong in the last 6 months and i fell off the wagon. I am now I think in the worst shape I have ever been in. I am not doing any races this year and i think that it is time for a solid goal. If i can train and finish Ironman, I can get my body to were I want. I know that this will take time, 16 weeks of training for Ironman, so I will be giving myself the same amount of time.

To start out I ordered 30 day boot camp to kick myself into gear and start motivating me with some quick results. I will log in my daily food. I will then start 90 days metamorphose. I will work out everyday and i will plan, pack and prepay my food.

I cant go on down this path, it is too depressing for me. I just spent 3 days in meeting eating like a pig and feeling like one too. I have heart issues and being fat is so bad for me. This is not how I want to live. I am currently addicted to food. This has to stop.
