Aimee's 2007 Get fit 'n healthy journal

Go, Aimee!!! You're so close. I agree, this place has slowed down considerably. I've got weigh-in tonight, so I'll post then. Congrats on the pounds and inches. Keep it up. And great menu/exercise plan.

Congratulations on the inches and weight loss Aimee. You're doing so great, it's amazing. I can't wait till you get to your goal, it shouldn't be long now.

Sorry I haven't been active on here lately. I've had this bummer cold, that was getting better. I planned to go to the gym on Wed. however they closed that day due to water issues, last night was to late, and then this morning I woke up with my throat hurting like h*ll again I've lucky enough to maintain the last couple weigh in, but we'll see tomorrow.

Grrr...I can say this cause I know you know I love you...but I hate you! After the way we each have been eating and you STILL lost? I gained all my measly 1.8 pounds back! Although you are exercising still.....lucky you!

Monday morning I'm back on this thing!!!!!!

Well, I ate bad a couple of days last week, but I made up for it by eating less and working out this week. It used to not be this easy to lose weight, but my metabolism is kicked in high gear so I burn calories just sitting here. It's a bonus when I burn more by working out. I'm more excited about the inches lost.

I love you, too.

AF is here. I was getting a tad bit worried there for a couple of days. We've got to do something about birth control.

I took kickboxing this morning. It wasn't a smart move on my part since AF just showed up this morning. I couldn't hang. I got so dizzy. But, I got a good 40 mins in before I left to go sit in the locker room.

This girl came and sat next to me and started talking to me in the locker room. She gave me 2 compliments that made my day. First she told me that I am really fit and that's nice hearing that from a stranger. And she told me I look like I'm TWENTY!!! What a way to make an old woman feel good! Especially after I flunked out of class this morning.

I'm tanning now and I'm starting to feel better about my body.

My eating is still really good. I'm so close to my goal. What am I going to do with myself when I reach it? I guess I'll always set goals for myself, but they will be fitness goals and not weight loss goals.

I changed my workout routine and I'm very happy with the results.

Everyone have a great week!

Wow Aimee, I was reading older posts in your journal and you are amazing!!! You're a machine

I'm using your love of exercise as one of the tools to try to get myself motivated to work out, reading about how great you feel after a class is helping me find some drive to exercise. Not to mention that someone said you look TWENTY, WTG!

Monica you are so sweet. I'm glad I'm motivation to someone. I do love working out. It makes me feel so great about myself. Even if I don't look all that great, it makes me feel like I do.


I had a rough week. I was not good and I felt awful all week. I went back and read through my journal to get motivation since that is what it is for. I realized that when I was eating super healthy I felt on top of the world and had so much energy. I wanted to work out and I wanted to accomplish things. Now I know when all those bad things started creeping back in my diet that it started making me feel bad. You are what you eat. So, I'm back on my health kick and I went to the gym this morning. I took cardio kickboxing for an hour and I did 30 min of Core. Both were excellent workouts.

The scale didn't show a change this week. I'm glad that I stayed the same and I will try not to think about where I could be had I eaten better this past week. BUT, it's a new day. It's a new week. My birthday is in 40 days. The countdown has begun. I would like to make these 40 days count for something. I want to see more changes in me.

I went shopping this week for the first time in a long time. I wasn't able to buy much, but I was so tempted. It's such a great feeling having clothes fit nicely again. I wasn't aware that I could wear a size 6 in ladies. I'm an 8 in junior sizes. I knew my clothes were really lose, but I pretty much live in my workout clothes or these 2 pairs of jeans. I don't have a lot of dress clothes and the ones I do have are size 10. They fall off of me, literally. After years of feeling depressed after shopping, this was a really pleasant experience.

Everyone, have a great weekend.

la la la, it's quiet in here, I can hear myself echo

ROFLMAO

Are you pestering me? I'm getting ready to go to the gym. No, really I am. Scotty told me last night that I don't need to lose weight, I just need to tone 'what I've got'. What is that supposed to mean? Men are so weird.

Is that kinda like, "shake whatcha momma gave ya"?

I guess so!

I think it really means that I'm flabby. And here all this time I thought I was toning up! What does he think I do at the gym anyway?

Sit in the sauna and gossip!

Now that sounds fun!!

I took my weight lifting class and then did 20 mins cardio on the elliptical which ended up being over 2 miles. I feel good now.

GOOD! Glad to hear it.

I took core and stretch today!

Naomi you will be happy to know I'm back in my zone. I went to the grocery store and couldn't even look at anything remotely unhealthy!

I'm feeling awesome again! I've definitely got my energy back.

Yay!!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear you say that!!

congrats again on reaching your goal I cant waite to see a pic of you in that dress, gonna be one HOT mama. BTW did you hang it up to help keep you motivated?
