EXPERIMENTAL

So I did a little experiment with myself today.  To start my first week back at tracking, I decided to eat, kind of like I have been in the last few weeks....How many daily points have I been consuming on average.  Well, I comsumed a grand total of 58 points!  Well, no shit I've gained weight!  Eating like that for a few weeks will do that to a girl.  Double Duh.
So the good news is I tracked today, I went to bootcamp and worked my arse off.  I will track tomorrow, make better choices that are WW friendly, and go to spinning.  And I will be nice to stupid jerks that try and steal my sunshiney spirit.

Caution: MAJOR BUMMER

So, I gained another 3.5 lbs.  I have not been tracking, I have been eating my feelings, and feeling like crap about it. 
I've been having a hard time the last month.  Too much stress, depression, it's all been winning the race.  I've still been working out, but apparently not enough to offset eating like an animal. 
My Grandpa fell into a coma last week after suffering some serious illness caused by his dementia, in short, he's dying.  That has been the cherry on top of the stress/depression cake.  I always turn to food when I'm upset and feeling lonely and freaked out.  Today I made an attempt to stop that cycle.  I went to my first WW meeting in weeks, faced the ugly truth of the scale, and ate balanced and mindfully and went to cycling.  Tomorrow I will start tracking again.  I need NEED neeeeeed to remind myself that stuffing my face and getting fatter is just going to make me feel worse.

Tomorrow I will
TRACK WHAT I EAT
GO TO BOOTCAMP
BUY A CALENDAR TO SCHEDULE MY WORK OUTS, WW MEETINGS, CAKE ORDERS, ETC.
BE THANKFUL AND FILLED WITH LOVE FOR MYSELF

Blessed

Tonight I am feeling blessed.  I feel so lucky to have a job (even though I don't like it) to pay my bills, to have a strong body that I can see new muscles coming out, to have the support of everyone I love, to have the best dog in the whole world. 
I am still struggling with eating.  Easter has turned into a 3 day event so far for me.  I'm really hoping that I can get back to being mindful and healthy tomorrow.  The good news is that I still haven't gained any weight.  the bad news is that I still haven't lost any weight.  I'm still at the grand total of 12 lbs.  I really need to lose at least 60.  I've got my fitness down, I just need to re group and be consistent with my WW.  It's very hit and miss for me.  Consistency is the key.

Tomorrow I will make smarter choices and will not go into maximum carb overload.

Get It Girl

Sooooo, I gained 1 pound.  YEP.  In the last 5 weeks of not weighing in, not really tracking, and stressing the F out, I ONLY gained a pound :)
I know, it seems weird to be okay/happy with that, but honestly, I had horrible visions of somehow gaining everything back and I didn't!!!  This gives me hope that they're are some major changes happening in my behavior, that my less that perfect falling off the wagon, really ain't so bad.  Last year, I would've gained it all back, in fact I've done it more times than I'd like to admit.
So today, is a new day, a day that will lead the way to better days to come, more weight loss to be had, and my goals being met.  I'm really happy today! 
I went for a 2.5 mile walk with my Jonesy, my favorite walking partner.  He likes to hustle.  I think it's the songs I make up about us and sing out loud to him while we're walking that really gets him moving ;)
I tracked everything today, had A LOT of points at lunch, but it's all good, because I'm tracking them, and I'm totally going to lose 2 lbs this week.  Get It Girl!
Well back to baking for me, so many cupcakes, so little time...literally.

Tomorrow I will walk again, track everything, and bake my ass off!
Have a great night my lovely ladies!  I love you all to bits!!!!
xoxo Gallant

I miss you

I just accidentally erased my post.  SON OF A BITCH.
A brief synopsis:

I miss you, my FT ladies.  I miss giving myself the time I deserve to be thin and happy.  I miss bootcamp (it has been off for two weeks, my instructors are on vacation.)
I am tired and busy.  I am thankful for being busy with cake orders, lots and lots of cake orders, but on my only day off I haven been making at least 5-6 dozen cupcakes, and delivering them, and have turned to pizza and chips because I am tired.  Not good.

TOMORROW
I will weigh in, and face the music. I have not weighed in for over a month.  Be prepared for tears tomorrow
I will go to spinning and not be convinced that an hour away from cake making is going to ruin my schedule...who needs sleep anyway?
I will think only positive thoughts
I will blog about my results
I will track everything I eat, resurrecting my goal of being thin and fit. 

Thank you ladies, for still reading this, still being on my team, and being the best support a girl could ask for.

xoxo Gallant

RE COMMITTING

Hey Ya'll!

Here I am, typing away in my hotel room in Dirty Jersey.  Right across the highway from the beautiful Newark Airport.  YES, I travel in style to the most exciting places! 
I'm at a two day training at our Elizabeth NJ store, so far so good.  I've even made good choices with my food so far!  Last night I got in late and was starving, I ordered a salad with sliced apples and walnuts from the bistro in the lobby.  It was pretty lame, but I was happy I made the best choice possible.  I also brough a lot of snacks with me, granola bars, almonds, crackers...AND had fruit instead of a bagel for breakfast...first time ever!!  Dinner might be a bit of a challenge today, by the looks of it, Ruby Tuesday's is going to be the destination, yuck!!
The next two weeks are going to be a bit challenging for me.  My bootcamp is on hiatius for 2 weeks,, which means I'm on my own.  I've got to come up with a game plan on what to do with my fitness for the next few Monday's and Wednesday's.  I can't get caught in a slump!  On the bright side I can return to the Wednesday night WW meetings that I like the best.  However, I need to check out the Friday one and see if it's something I'd be into.  So far I hate the Saturday one, it's flippin lame!  I haven't been to a weigh in in 3 weeks.  THIS IS NOT OKAY.  I could bore everyone with the reasons why, but really, there is NO excuse.  I need to get back on the program 100%, no excuses.  I am recommiting to the meetings and weigh ins starting on Wednesday.  The good news is that all though i haven't been the best WW member of late, I have always kept mindful, not being perfect, but not falling off the deep end and eating an entire cake or pizza.  I haven't said "Fuck It" yet. 
After my first 4 weeks of bootcamp though, I got my mesurments done, and I lost 1 inch in my waist, 1 in my hips, and .5 in my arms...so I'm still playing the "slow and steady wins the race" role!  I am going to step it up though, because I want to have lost an additional 40lbs by the end of August.  This will be a challenge, but I am committed and ready to so this.  I will be one hot bitch!  The grand total will be 52 lbs, about 70% or so to my year end goal. 

I CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN. 
I WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN. 
IT IS HAPPENING!!!!

My reflections on the last few months; I have found who I am, what I want, and what I really need to do to achieve it.  I have a clear goal, and it is something that I have complete control over.  My mind has control over my eating, not my emotions.

I might not blog tomorrow, depending on what time I get home.  But please know, that if I am not around for a day or two, I am always cheering for you, always keeping up with you, and carrying all of your amazing strength and support with me.  I love you all!!

Breathing Deeply

I'm tired.  I am having a pretty good day as far as eating, tracking and exercising everything is all good.  I had a crap day at work.  Some people are still 17 year old mean girls, even when they're pushing 60.  I need to focus on having a new career.  I want to open my own business but I am terrified of failing, of being overwhelmed and not being able to maintain my sanity.  I'd settle for something new, in general, that didn't involve working with a bunch of jerks.  Not everyone is a jerk, but some days I let the jerks rule.  Deep Cleansing Breaths.  It's been the mantra and activity of the day.
I am proud that through dealing with a crap day, rude people, and still hurting and feeling tired, I did not sabotage myself.  I consider this a VICTORY!
VIVA LA GALLANT!

THANKFULS
The GREAT people I work with.  They are so much cooler than the crap ones
My friendship with fitness, it's pretty strong
My ability to fake bravery and strength, when I'm not feeling it, but can still manage to show it on the outside
Being resilient:  Go ahead, be an asshole, it just makes my light shine brighter!
Pierogie's. CARB ON CARB ACTION.  Heavenly

Until tomorrow, I wish all of you peace, love, comfort and health.

Vitamin D

I can't believe it's been 5 days since I last blogged!  I promised myself to get back on track starting today, and so far I'm doing a pretty good job of it!
A few things I've realized work against me if I don't make sure they happen...
Making my lunch and breakfast everyday.   If I rely on whatever is availiable and at hand, I never really make great choices, and I still have major issues with portion control.  And you know what kills me about those bad choices?  99% of time, they're really not worth it.  Certain things are worth it, good quality delicious food that I love, well at least I'm enjoying on the way down...But some lame ass half dried bagel from work worth 13 points?!  SO not worth it.
I have not been to a meeting in 3 weeks, first it was vacation, then I was busy with a cake order, then I was on my period, excuses excuses.  Who am I hurting when I avoid these things??  MYSELF.  And I decided that I wasn't going to to that this year.  I PROMISED myself that I wouldn't do that anymore.
So here I go, back to being awesome.
I got a diagnosis finally today with all my joint pain, thank God, especially today, has been really hard.  My body is really hurting bad today.  SO, I have a vitamin D deficiency, which causes joint pain and depression.  So I am hopeful that I'll be feeling better all around soon enough.  My doctor told me a normal, but absolute lowest level your vitamin D should be at is a 30.  Mine is at a 9 !!!  No wonder I feel so awful!  So I have a script for mega vitamin, that I'll be taking for 2 months.  I want a trip to the bahama's, dr's orders, but my bank account says otherwise.
On a positive note, I have pushed through the pain and have not missed a workout yet.  I have also started tracking again.  Yay me!
That's all for tonight, I'm going to ice my achy joints, and have sweet dreams of feeling better soon.

LOVE LOVE LOVE you ladies!
xoxo - Gallant

Dang it!

So today my doctor called me back with my test results, and I didn't get the call in time, by the time I did call back, the office was closed!!!  DANG IT!  Tomorrow I'll find out.  I'm really hoping it's a vitamin deficiency.

Tonight, I went to bootcamp, and I was really difficult.  I am having a lot of pain, but I got through it with modifying almost all of it.  I hate to modify.  I want to do it all.

I did good with my eating, I stayed mindful.  Really, this year is about learning why I eat, why I eat what I eat, putting myself first, and BEING MINDFUL.

Tomorrow, will be a great day.  Because I will make it great.

Nighty Night Ladies, I am so thankful for all of you, for your positive words, your love, your inspiration by just being your wonderful selves!

THANKFULS
Pulling through a workout, even though I wanted to give up, multiple times
My fitness coach, for always believing in me
My doggie Jones, even though he's being a wild animal tonight.  Sometimes I feel like I'm living with a 6 month old polar bear.
YOU, yes, YOU!!!

not awful, not great

Hello!

So, I've been having a hard week.  I've been tracking what I am eating, and I have been excerising, but my eating hasn't been great.  Not awful, but NOT great.  I've been having a lot of joint pain this week, I went to the Dr yesterday and had some blood work done, hopefully that'll explain these pains.  My hands are cramping as I type.  So this will be short and sweet.
I am thankful that I am still mindful, and haven't given up on myself, which I normally would have done at this point.
I will have a better week, starting tomorrow.
I love you ladies, so very much!!

RELIEF

So I missed bootcamp last night because I was at a stupid meeting at work that ran so late, I couldn't make it : /  LAME!
I did go to spinning tonight, and I worked hard.  My body has been really aching lately.  Mostly in my joints and feet which has me a little worried.  I'm thinking I should make an appointment with my doctor.  I want to say it was my old shoes, but wrists and hands have been in a lot of pain too...DOUBLE LAME!
On to the best news EVER, the lead up is something I haven't mentioned all week because I was afraid if I said something, I'd jinx it or something...
My nephew who is surviving cancer, just recently started his recovery process.  He went through a year of brutal Chemo and Radiation, a bone marrow transplant, operations to remove tumors, and anti-body treatments.  (he had nueroblastoma, a form of bone marrow cancer) This little man, all of 7 years old, has been through the ringer.  Anyway, last Friday he was showing symptoms that the cancer had returned.  Primarily, some lesions on his legs, and he was limping.  Which were the first signs before he was diagnosed.  We were praying, hoping, wishing, praying, praying, praying, that his test results would come up negative...AND THEY DID!  After his results came back, of course my sister in law was relieved to the point of some serious emotional tears, and that's when my niece decided she had a confession to make...
My nephew made her promise not to tell mom...They were outside playing, rough housing around with the dog, the dog had a big stick and accidentally close-lined my nephew.  He was so afraid to be in trouble, and more importantly to have his bff (the dog) get in trouble, he made his sister promise not to tell...so his limping and leg injuries, were caused by being a kid, not cancer.

OH MY LORD!!  I feel like a weight has lifted off of me and I can let go of some massive stress I was carrying around.  And can't stop getting weepy every five minutes today.

anyway, that's all for me tonight, I tried to focus on myself through fitness this week, because it keeps me sane, but food, well, it's still the thing I turn to when I'm sad.  I will conquer this.  I WILL.

xoxo Ladies.  Love you all to bits!

There is NO other option

My legs are KILLING me today.  Bootcamp, followed by spinning...for goodness sakes, I'm surprised they haven't fallen off this week.  My feet have been really bothering me, they've been cramping a lot while I exercise.  I'm hoping it's because my shoes were beat up so I went out and bought some new ones tonight.  I HATE fitness shoes.  Why are they all so stupid looking?  I don't wear silver/neon ANYTHING, why is it so hard to find anything that doesn't look like Transformer action figures for your feet?  Booooo.  I found a pair that didn't make me gag, and feel good on, tomorrow is bootcamp again, so we shall see....
I've been tracking again, for the last two days.  I'm not really feeling it, but I also don't feel like I have another option, besides giving up, staying the same size, or worse, getting fatter.
I think the hardest part is the realization that this is going to be a LONG process.  That I will not always lose 2 lbs a week.  That nothing else will work for me, there is no miracle diet where I will lose a ton of weight quickly and keep off, and not feel deprived.  I need to change my attitude.  I need to get the fuck over it, and just push through.  Because there is NO OTHER OPTION.


So for tomorrow

• Track
• Exercise
• Remind myself all day, it sucks to be fat, it's awesome to buy smaller clothes.

THANKFUL'S

• Friends.  Mine are the best people on earth
• Being an aunt, and not being a mother right now.  I'm okay with it.
• Two arms and two legs.  It would suck not to have them.
• Biggest Loser.  WOW, those folks are so inspiring!
• Not living in fear like the Japanese right now.  My heart is broken for them.   I cannot comprehend what they are going through.  Honestly, my problems are lame in comparison.

XOXO LOVELIES!!!

She's back, and she's tired!

Back to work, back to working out, back to tracking.  I'm tired! 
I had a really great time in the Cape with my friends, it was a long weekend of eating, drinking, and laughing until I was crying. 
This week I have a goal of getting back on track.  100%.  Tracking, staying within my points, and exercising.  Even though I've some successes I have a long road ahead of me.  I'd really like to speed it up a little...I know slow and steady wins the race, but I really want some big weight loss numbers this month. 
I really need to refocus and recommit to myself. 
SO here it goes...

I will exercise 5 days this week.  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday.
I will track every day this week.
I will weigh in on Saturday
I will have lost at least 2 lbs.

xoxo Ladies!!

Wipe Out Town

I'm headed to Wipe Out Town pretty soon, I am just so exhausted tonight!  This week has been stressful and really tiring...which means I've done a crap job of tracking what I eat.  I need to figure out a strategy of being mindful, when I feel like I am losing my mind...Does that make sense? 
Do any of you write down what you're eating all day long?  Like, after eating a meal, you write it down immediately?  Or do you do it all at once?  I think the part that I am failing with lately is that I'm waiting till the end of the day, which I've always done, but it might not be the best when I've been running around all day going crazy.  I'm just so damn beat by the time I finally sit down, which is usually around now, 9:00...
I'd love to hear what you ladies do that keep you check!  For now, I am too tired to write anything more, my eyes are starting to cross!!
So much loves to all of you sisters!  I don't know where I'd be without you all!!!!

My Friends = Cool

I am just so thankful today.  Thankful for having such amazing women in my life who believe in me, when I need it most. 
My best friend told me she got caught up on my blog today.  Which really touched me that she is reading it...I am so completely close to her, and it feels so great that she is even a part of this.  She is beautiful and inspirational everyday.  I love her too much!
Which makes me think of something the ever wise JenWa said, "I think about my friends and how much I love and adore them. How fun and funny and beautiful and smart and just amazing they are. And then I can't help but think that they chose to be friends with me, so that must mean that I am pretty great, too."
The Universe brings like minded totally cool people together, and I am blessed to be part of it.  
So, today I ate too many cookies.  Not like all out binged, just ate more than I should have.  BUT my breakfast, lunch and dinner were pretty good.  I still need to track, which I usually do at the end of the night, I wish I could do it throughout the day, it's just not possible, yet.
I went to spinning tonight, which was so much fun.  I just love that class and the ladies I share it with.  Sadly, I won't be there on Thursday, I've got to pack and cook for my weekend vacation, with my besties, that I am TOTALLY stoked for!!  We're going to Cape Cod, and I'm really hoping that it's at least a tiny bit warm and nice out so that we can walk on the beach...my favorite :)
My Intention for tomorrow:
"I am one of the people that I love most"

SAMOAS have 2 points...

Oh, Samoa cookies, why do I love them so much???  And why doesn't my husband like them so I'd have someone to share them with?  And WHY do I know so many Girl Scouts that I feel obligated to buy cookies from?!
SO I woke up from a fog today, a fog where I was not tracking, and not realizing it...What?!  I didn't even make the concious choice to not track, I just didn't...
Not good, guesstimating is okay for a day, but not for nearly a week.  I need to get back into the habit of being mindful and real about what I am eating and why I am eating it.  I know that when I feel overwhelmed by others things, I let myself down first.  NEVER letting down anyone else.  So why is this an option for me?  Why do I constantly let myself down and try so hard not to let down others? 
My self worth is sadly not where it should be.  All I ever do is focus on what could be better about myself, how nothing is quite right.  My weight, my beauty, my hair, my temper, being a friend, a wife, a momma to Jones, a coworker, I do not aknowledge that I am good at any of them.  All I ever do is focus on my short comings, that I'm too fat, too selfish, or that my nose is too big.  Why is it so hard for me to really appreciate myself?  Is it because I was raised by the most modest people I have ever met, who drove into me that any form of self appraisal was rude and unattractive, and quite frankly, not true, because, honestly, who the fuck do I think I am????
WOW.
I need to crack this code, and I need to put more effort into this.  To know my worth, to be happy and proud as I am.  To not constantly focus on what I am NOT.
How did I get from Samoas cookies to this?!
I always say, I LOVE TO LOVE!  Well, it's time I turn some of that onto myself.  I need some new intentions, that involve ME.

Tomorrow
I will track everything
I will find some new intentions, for just me :)
I will go to Spinning
I will focus on going on a mini vacation this coming weekend.
I will not let stupid ignorant arrogant old men turn my day to shit (yes, that's what happend today)

THANKFULS
For YOU!
Coffee, my life blood
Money, it's SO cool not freak out about how I'm going to keep my house right now!
My bff, who snapped at me the other day, and appolgised for it.  I love the honesty we have.
My husband, who stayed on the phone with me tonight, I was driving home, and the moon looked so cool, I called him to tell him to go look at it, he stayed on the phone with me till he found it...I love him so very much.

I want to be SKINNY dammit!

I had another great work out today, and another day of eating so-so.  I finally tracked again today.  I realized i hadn't in 3 days...how does that happen?  I get busy?  I don't want to sub-consciously?  I think I've got it all under control?  Who knows.
What I do know is that I tracked at least in my head, which is not the same thing at all, but at least I was mindful and reasonable.  I want to be skinny dammit!  I have NEVER been skinny.  I want people to refer to me as thin.  I want to jump for joy and not feel things wobble around me (my stomach, my thighs, etc)
So I will be weighing in this Saturday and I'm nervous as HECK. 
Also, I figured since I'm keeping my part time job, even with my hubby being employed and all, that my salary there can pay for bootcamp!  Yay!  I'm going to sign up for 3 months :)
So Cheers to you my FT sisters, I would not be the girl I am today without you,  I value all of you, more than you know!!

SKIPPING?!

So I brought the cake to work today, thank the lord!  I had a piece last night, but halfway through it, I handed it to my husband to finish it.   Everyone really enjoyed it today, so that made me happy :)  I know, I'm a total sap, but I genuinely love making people happy, because I know how good it feels to feel happy. 
Simple pleasures and the little things is what keeps me going everyday.  Today I had bootcamp, and I felt strong, EXCEPT for when they had us skip for 5 minutes, I thought I was going to go into cardiac arrest!!!  And all I could think about was; I used to do this for fun as a kid!! Skipping?!?! Since when is that hard?!  Well, when you're 33 and over weight, THAT'S when it's hard!
Anyway, I watched the Oscars last night, mainly for the gowns, I'm a total whore for gowns!!  I love girlie glamour!!  Needless to say I daydreamed all night about what MY gown would look like if I went to the Oscars...AND had my dream body.  I cannot wait until I can wear whatever I want and not be limited because of my size.  It will come soon :)
That's all for tonight....
xoxo Lovely Ladies

A New Rule...

I will not weighing in while Aunt Flo is in town.  I have just decided this.  I was supposed to go this morning, but instead met my sister in law at a cake decorating shop to browse around.  I got some good stuff too!  I'm doing a bridal shower next month and want to try making sugar flowers so I got all the stuff to try it out.  I was going to weigh in tomorrow, or Monday, and then thought, Fuck it, I don't want to get my bloated ass weighed, I think I'll wait until my water weight won't push me over the edge.  I still am tracking everything.  Yesterday I went over my points by a lot, pizza and wine will do that...Today, I was pretty good, I did have a piece of cake though...but it was MY birthday cake, what's a girl to do?!  I'll be bringing the rest of the cake to work with me on Monday to share with my work homies, lord knows it's not safe for me in this house.  I'm the kind of girl who sees cake in fridge at 6:30 in the morning an convinces myself that it's a totally reasonable breakfast.  Cake and pizza, my kryptonite! 
The cake was for my family party with all my in laws today.  I did good with food there, my husband made me some really yummy mini veggie burgers, and I brought veggies and hummus, and that's all I ate :)  Yay me!  Oh, BESIDES the piece of chocolate, white chocolate mousse layer cake with vanilla butter cream frosting...OH LORD IT IS AMAZING!  Must get it the hell outta here, soon!
I even bit my tongue for each passive aggressive comment my mother in law gave me.  You'd think she'd give it a rest for my birthday...She thinks she can say something totally shitty to me and follow it up with a laugh, and that makes it okay.  I used to get upset, now I just feel sad for someone who doesn't know how to say how she truly feels, walking around with that much resentment is not good for the spirit!  She told everyone she had a dream about me and I was 'REALLY RUDE' to her in it, that it was so real she felt like I owed her an apology.  I replied "Wow I can't even behave appropriately in your dreams, huh?  Weird"
;)

On that note, I will be not eating for the rest of the evening, because I feel bloated from all the veggies and Aunt Flo, I will be having cocktails at a friends house tonight though, and I am more than happy to save my points for those!

Focus on the Thankful's

I had another great work out today.  As far as workouts go, this weeks been great.  Eating, not to shabby.  I'm really praying that I have a good weigh in this week...I don't want to cry at WW, it's just so tragic. 
Work has been pretty awful, there is just way too much work to do, with just me and another girl carrying the load.  I have also been fighting with my husband all week, so that's been pretty lame.  Oh, and my Dad never called me for my birthday.  Seeing as how my Mom and I share the same birthday and he was married to her for 25 years, as well as me being his daughter for 33 years, it seems unlikely that he forgot.  He probably just wasn't into it because it wasn't about him.  WOW.  Sorry for this pity party.  I def have the Thursday night burn out!!
I need to go and try and purge all of this negativity I've got rolling around inside of me, it's not cool. 
Let's work on a list of Thankful's shall we?!

My little brother telling me he loves me most :) 
Even after a fight, the husband and I can still love each other, and tell each other so.
My sister, she is really funny, and totally great.
A memory foam mattress, it's a flippin dream!
Chocolate, dark and bitter, just like my mood today!
