probably being a little hard on myself, but its deserved

Ok so i was reading through some stuff trying to find the perfect workout plan that i can stick to this summer to FINALLY lose this weight. Then it hit me! All the research i have done over the years on fad diets, pills, workouts i know the secret to losing weight! STOP FUCKING WHINING AND MAKING EXCUSES AND JUST DO IT!!!
The formula is simple (simple not easy) eat right and workout. There is no magic pill that will make u hot. There are supplements that will help u lose weight, but temporary if at all. and lets be honest all yoyo dieting does is make u feel ok when u are at ur sknniest and worse when u arnt. not to mention the $$$$$ on clothes. Ugh! Over the years i have tried several diet plans and workouts that would of worked if i got my lazy ass up and did it. See i dont think its finding the right plan for you, i think its finding the right time for you. the time when u put the ben and jerrys down, kick your self in the cellulite and say to your self "get your fat lazy ass off the god damn couch and move!!!" and come on i think a lot of it has to be wanting it. and being willing to work for it!!
Now ok i know that everyone is different and that time is an issue. if you want this badly enough you will find the time to do it, try Jillian Micheal workouts, she has a dvd thats like 30min 3 times a week. and ok YES some of us have a body that is genitally programmed to hold more fat. I have one of them. I am of Nordic decent (apparently u can trace my ancestry to Eric the red and Viking arnt known to be tiny people) Ok fine my body does a GREAT job storing calories, so all i have to do is change that. find out what my caloric intake should be to de-fluffy and then DONT EAT MORE THAN THAT!!! and come on people, we know what is healthy and what isnt. Mcdonalds bad salad good. Not rocket science. and the list of recipes out there for good food is endless. and as far as the ancestry goes, vikings were not fat, they had a CRAP load of mussels, and they earned them the hard way. I dont build ships, kill dragons nor do i pillage and burn villages (not recently anyway) so i do need to workout. Hey some people were born skinny i am not one of them that just means i will appreciate it more when i get there. and i will get there. so i am going to use this more and i am going to get off my lazy ass and do what i need to do and i am going to stop bitching and whining about how i would be happier if i were skinny how i could get the man i want how i could go shopping where ever and i am going to do something about it. Seriously if u dont like something dont be a spoiled bitch and whine fucking fix it your self or get over it!

The Workout Enigma

I don't know what it is about working out that gets me all pissed off. I hate...HATE working out! Everyday my husband will ask me, no... tell me, that we are going to the gym and I always throw a temper tantrum like a 5 year old spoiled brat that has been asked to give her favorite Barbie doll to charity. I get super grumpy and I snap at him and pick fights about it. I bitch to him the entire time I'm getting my gym clothes on and all the way to the gym. It will take me at least 20 minutes to even get ready for the gym when it should only take me 5. I make excuses for not wanting to go (I'm sick, I'm too tired, I cleaned the house and I'm counting that as my cardio for the day).
When I am at the gym I am still in my grumpy state. I hate that the televisions at a gym are always on a channel that's more for men or butch women than women like me. I want to watch some Saved By the Bell or maybe even a Lifetime movie. The other day I was at the gym and my television options were CNN, Nascar or Basketball, not very motivating material for me. I know that I have the option to watch something on my iPod or listen to some music but there's an issue for me there as well. On my iPod, all I have to watch is Step Up 2: The Streets, Breakfast at Tiffany's or one episode of Entourage (because it's my favorite episode and buying a whole season is expensive). I've listened to my music a million and one times and so I get sick of songs easily and I don't have Limewire anymore to download something new. If I could find a way to bring my mini (well not so mini) DVD player and find an elliptical close to a wall outlet I would be set. Unfortunately though, that is not an option. I've even looked to see if my camera had a headphone jack so that I could just record a half hour to an hour long program...but it doesn't.
So I'm stuck there for an hour or more watching boring TV and listening to songs I've heard over and over again and podcasts that I don't find all that entertaining when I'm in a bad mood.
The weird thing is, is that when it's all over and my husband says "lets go home" I feel better. I'm in a much better mood, I feel energized and clear headed. I love the end result of a good long workout. It's everything that leads to the end result that I hate. If only I could look ahead and realize that I do indeed need to do the work in order to get the high maybe I could break the mental block I have about working out. I don't know why I can't though. So here I go to the gym for the day, kicking and screaming as usual.

What To Ask Your Personal Trainer Before Sweating It Out?

From TheFrisky.com

You have roughly three and a half months before swimsuit season. And if you’re the type of person that needs someone on your behind to get motivated to exercise, then a personal trainer is probably for you. But before you hand over your hard-earned money, you have to make sure your trainer is qualified and that the two of you will get along. No one wants to dread their trainer even more than they dread crunches. So find out what to ask after the jump.

Are you a certified personal trainer?—The National Academy of Sports Medicine, the American Council of Exercise, and similar organizations have rigorous tests that trainers must pass in order to become certified.

Do you have references?—You can get an idea of their style and success rate by talking to other clients.

Do you have liability insurance?—Not only is liability insurance a good way of determining your trainer’s professionalism, but it will make sure you’re covered in the unlikely case you get hurt.

How do you motivate clients and what’s your training style?—A trainer’s philosophy is very important. Are they like a drill sergeant, who screams no pain, no gain? Or will they go at your pace, adapting the program to keep it interesting?

What kind of clients have you had before?—If you just want to tone up, shed a couple of pounds, or lose a few inches, then a trainer who’s worked with athletes most of his/her career isn’t right for you.

Do you give free consultations?—A consultation will be beneficial for you both. You will experience a sample workout and discuss your goals. And she/he will learn your needs and level of fitness.

Not impressed

Should we change the name to our blog now?
I'm not really a fan of the Healthe Trim. I tried. I really really tried.
I didn't get headaches like Maye but there were a few side effects that made the decision to stop taking them pretty easy.
1. the bathroom issue. I don't work right now so having to run to the bathroom every 20 minutes was more annoying than anything but I can't imagine having a job and having to hold it or whatever.
2. The waiting to eat. I wasn't starving or anything and I didn't care so much, but when you're unemployed and you don't wake up until 9am, waiting until lunch to have something just didn't feel right. I thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day?
3. appetite. It didn't really curve my appetite so much. I was still hungry, not "holy crap if I don't eat something now I'm going to Hulk out!" kind of hungry but just hungry. The week before my period I still had the craving to eat all day.

I'm with Maye on the idea of going back on our yellows once I get a job...and I'm hoping that's soon. June is creeping around the corner and David and I are still deciding if we want to get pregnant than or not. I think I'm going to just have to bite the bullet and go on a diet and exercise plan that the only pill it involves is a multivitamin. I don't know why the idea of working out is so hard for me...I will fight it until my dying day. I think I just need to get into my Jersey Shore mindset and take the summer as a GTL day everyday (that's Gym Tanning Laundry).
