I give up

I am about to give up. I can not lose weight to save my life. I waver in a 5 pound range. I go up a pound one day and then down two the next, then up again. I have been doing my tread mill and my turbo jam but nothing. I had to get dressed up for a wedding today and I was so depressed and frustrated. I look awful. I am so tired of feeling fat and miserable. I am so tired of working out and watching what I eat with no results. I am about ready to quit.

Hmmm... I am reconsidering the hippo as my body image. I think I may have a Budha type body. Does that mean if I rub my own belly I will have good luck? I wish that was true.

I walked a lot at the Relay for Life last night. I carried my 6 year old, Ale on my shoulders for a few laps. He weighs 46 lbs and now my shoulders, back, and neck are killing me. Ugh! Oh well, it was worth it - all for a great cause.

No pain - no gain ?!?!?!

I have been so lazy on vacation. I want to wake up early to exercise but end up sleeping in. I still exercise but just would like to do it earlier than I am.

Today I got up and did my turbo jam cardio work out and was aching. I then did the treadmill in the evening. Boy oh boy I am aching now. I am sure I will feel really great in the morning. I wanted to kick up my work out because I can not lose weight. I have not lost any weight in the last 4 months even though I have been working hard.

Vacation sucks

I am on vacation for 2 weeks and the last 3 days have been cold and grey. I am so bummed. On top of that my bank account is tapped, I have no energy/ am depressed and my car needs a new catalytic converter which will be about $300. I just got done paying $300 for something with the back right tire. Uh! I am so stressed and depressed.

On a good note. I am going to make it my goal to do my treadmill every day no matter what. I also have been using my "slendertone" and I think it is working. I used it the last two nights and my stomach had muscle aches this morning - kind of like if I had done some sit ups. I hope it is working. It is this belt you put on your abdomen and then it contracts your muscles. I do it when I sit to watch some TV. Mine is an older version but here is the website for the up to date one.
