89 days left "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"

Last night I braved 2 feet of snow and got my ass to the Biggest Loser opening at my gym. I weighed in at a whopping ***.5 pounds. Hehe. Sorry, too embarrassed! I will tell you that my CRAZY 90 day weight loss goal is 60 pounds in 90 days with an overall goal of loosing 85. This would mean I loose 5 pounds every week. I am going to try my hardest!

Lesson of the day:

DO NOT GO TO THE GYM WITH OUT EATING FIRST.
***********************************************
Whoops, I set my alarm for 5:15 AM, and I must have pressed off instead of snooze. I woke up at 5:40 threw my clothes on grabbed my keys and got in the car, where I drove up hill to the gym! Scary scary drive! I get to the gym and start with 5 minutes of cardio on the stationary bike at level 10. Then I meet with my trainer Ryan who has a little circuit course set out for me. (There were only 2 other people in the gym so it was pretty cool!) He had 3 weighted balls, 5, 10 and 15 pounds, I started by picking up the 5 and running to the other side of the room dropping the ball, running back until all 3 balls were on one side and then I repeated the steps bringing them back to the beginning spot. I am already out of breath, and sweating, we move onto the tire where I am to touch each foot one at a time on the tire for 30 seconds as fast as I can, once again... I AM DYING! Next we lay down and do some abs, I hold my feet in the air pointed at a 40 degree angle for 30 seconds and then do 20 sit ups. Now repeat the whole circuit. I AM REALLY DYING NOW! So much so, I get light headed, and feel like I am going to throw up, I had to spend at least 3 minutes over the garbage can trying my hardest not to throw up! Then onto the weight room where I am sitting holding dumbbells and pretty much "punching" as hard and fast as I can for 1 minute, then back to the balls where I am picking them up squatting down and throwing at the ground as hard as I can 12 times. ALRIGHT, IM DEAD NOW! Ryan ended up having to go get me a poweraide and then called it quits for the day, he told me I needed to eat before I came next time and I wouldn't feel like that again. I felt like shit, for a long time. I still felt sick but decided to drive home, ate a banana and took my morning supplements. He reminded me several times that I was kicking ass and that I shouldn't feel bad. I am a perfectionist, and now feel like I cheated myself of a work out today. I think I am going to have to go back tonight. I really need to make sure I am burning 1000 calories a day AT LEAST, in order to loose the 5 pounds a week.  

Nothing Tastes as Good as Thin Feels:

I made myself a stack of paper, I cut pieces of colored construction paper in half and wrote numbers down from 90 on them. On each day I wrote a reminder to myself, sometimes I used them more then once. Today's, day 89 says: :You got this! $5,000! Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!" Throughout the day, if I am tempted to eat any of the bad food my mom refuses not to buy I just have to look at my page and remember I GOT THIS! NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels! 

Alright, I'm off to pop a Jillian Michael's DVD in and workout a little before my monster wakes up!
