Family + Amsterdam = FATTY

I love my brother. He is my best friend in the whole world. I love spending time with him, except when we are drinking with friends. He knows all my retarded moments and enjoys telling them. But still, I do the same, when I can. It's just that he has more ammo, I am much more retarded than he is.

So he has been here to visit for the week. We went to Amsterdam to do some relaxing. Had a great time, ate way too much food junk (too many space cakes). I made the comment that when i smoke I don't get the munchies....I am a huge liar. HUGE!!! In fact I gained all of the weight back that I had spent so much time loosing.

I have my 5K on Saturday and I just found out that my favorite people who got me into this run are not going. Quickly loosing interest, but I said I would do it and I know I can, so I will. It is not going to be easy, since I have all this weight back on and I have been smoking.

Tomorrow my brother goes home, and I have to get back to work. I am really going to have to buckle down. I have been saying that I need to do that for the past 2 weeks, I think. My words mean nothing. Though I did refuse to purge after a huge binge last night. I just sat there with it, as a punishment. I really can't start doing that again. It doesn't really help. It just becomes addictive, frustrating, and expensive. I just have to stop binging really.

I have 50 days to lose 30 lbs.
Mathematically, it can be done. So we will see what happens....

Lots To Digest

I'm finally done catching up on everything. 

(well, except for school) 

I FINALLY got off my ass and went for a run. 

I kept putting if off, making excuses. 

With all of the drinking and smoking from the holiday, I wasn't sure how the run was going to go. 

It went pretty well considering I ran INTO a trash can. 

Huge bruise on my thigh. 

Other than stopping for that, I only stopped 1 other time. 

I made my 5K route in about 36 min. 

The race is only 2 wks away. 

I found out today that we are moving back to the States.

I have mixed emotions about this. 

I really like living in the UK. 

We leave in almost 2.5 mo.

I still haven't told my mother that we were even thinking of moving (in my head, I was punishing her) whole other story...

This also ups the weight loss ante

I have to loose all this weight by December (at least 25 lbs)

I have the P90X challenge coming up, which will help to shed the lbs. 

I have to really buckle down on the eating (by doing less of it). 

But all I have been craving lately is chocolate. 

We don't have any in the house anymore, since I already ate it all. 

Oh, yeah I almost forgot! 

I got the announcement that my 15yr class reunion is coming up. 

So I have to get fit by then, for sure. 

I'm a little nervous, since I feel like I started my life so much later than everyone else.  (marriage, kids, pets, job...)

Ugh.....

 Anyways.... Hope everyone is doing ok. It's good to be back. 

Getting Back on Track...

Hello to everyone! I'm back from my whirlwind vacation. 
It was a blast, but I'm glad to be back. 
There was a lot of beer drinking during this holiday, so I wasn't exactly looking forward to getting on the scale. But with a light breakfast, minimal to no lunch some days, and a good dinner, as well as a ton of walking and a 20kg pack to carry. I actually only gained 2lbs. 

Got home late last night and took today to recover. Literally slept till 3:30pm. 
Tomorrow I'm back on the food&exercise wagon. 

No excuses!

I have to start training for the marathon on the on the 27th of October. 
But being off the wagon for almost 14 days, 
I will definitely need motivation and discipline. 

Help!! 

I will definitely need everyone's help out there. Since the weather here sucks, getting out for a run is going to be difficult. 

Speaking of everyone out there, I want to say hello to my new followers!

Welcome!
