No More Excuses
Taking control of my body and my life.

So the last time I was on here was back in November. I am happy to announce that I got the job in NY!! Which is why I disappeared for two months. Had to pack up my life and move up here and now I’m finally settled in the city.
I’m very happy to be here but unfortunately coming here meant putting some things on the back burner. Because of how quickly I needed to up an move all my training got put on hold. And eventually I realized with my conflicting schedule I didn’t even get to do my triathlon.
The move was stressful and it was impossible to keep up with my workout schedule so here i am two months later back at square one.
It’s frustrating because I was doing so well! Down almost 20 lbs (which I’m pretty sure I’ve put back - haven’t weighed myself yet) But at least I’m getting myself back on track and this time I know I can do it. Because I’ve done it before.
Here it goes…again.

Congrats on the job! What sort of work do you do? I'm trying to apply for jobs in NYC myself, but I live in London at the moment so it's even harder. I hope skype interviews are common so I can get a job without having to fly out there for every interview!

Thanks!! I got the job which is why I disappeared for like two months. Had to pack up and move and I’m finally settled. Now it’s back to square one and time to get my ass back in shape. Good luck with finding a job!! Hopefully it works out for you as well as it did for me.

Sorry I disappeared guys!!
This week has been insane. In the passed week I went from finding out about a job, to having a phone interview, to having a second Skype interview, and now to having a third and final interview….IN NEW YORK CITY!!!
It’s crazy! If I get this job I’ll be moving across the country to NYC in less than a month!!!
Ahhhhh ok. Food and workout wise? Eh, not gonna lie! I’ve been slacking really bad with my work outs. But I’ve been REALLY good about food.
With that being said…I still lost another 2 pounds this week!!!! So even through the stress and craziness I’m officially down 17 pounds in just under 11 weeks.
I am so proud of myself! And this weight loss has given me so much more self confidence and thats just what I need for my interview on Monday.
Wish me luck guys!

Had a lot of fun last night and got a lot of compliments on my costume.
But I drank WAY too much. Definitely paying for it today.
I’ve got to get out of bed and start working on my to do list. And go for a run/bike.
Blahhhh since I’ve been working out and eat healthy, drinking has lost a lot of its appeal.

Is in the 170s?!?!
179.2 weigh in this morning!!
I’ve officially lost 15lbs in just under 10 weeks. And just in time for Halloween!
So happy!

Today I went swimming….
In my pants!Its crazy to think these fit me just 9 weeks ago!

This taunts and teases me all day at work. Ugh!
Even worse is that they are all the “fun size” so they are each no more than 60 calories. It’s pretty easy to justify 60 calories when you’re craving some chocolate.
I’ve slacked a couple days on my workouts. But I’ll make them up by Sunday. Not sure why, but I’ve been exhausted all week. I seriously can’t wait for December.
Luckily, I’ve been good about eating. With the exception of some “fun” sized candy. Stayed within my calorie goals though!
I need to pack more snacks! What are your favorite healthy snacks to keep with you in case of a “fun sized” emergency?

So I have the opportunity to get my body composition measured in a bod pod for free…
Now I know this sounds like an easy answer but I’m torn.
I’ve come a long way in 9 weeks an I’m kind of scared that getting not so great results will mess with my head and get me off track. I know I have a long way to go still. I want to be inspired and motivated, not discouraged!
Ugh, and I need to decide if I want to do it soon. Comments, suggestions, thoughts?

So, I have no idea why but I’ve been hungry ALL DAY!
I had breakfast and coffee, and lunch and even some Halloween candy (ugh I know I shouldn’t have) but I cannot get full!
I honestly feel like I haven’t eaten lunch at all!
Why!? Does this happen to anyone else? What do you do?
