Insane Random Ramblings

My cousin is one of my blog readers and he asked me why I was so focused on losing weight. I told him that one reason is because women have a harder time losing weight the older we get. The main reason though is that excess weight causes health problems and I’ve been fairly healthy my whole life. I don’t want to wait until I’m middle-aged and have to go on a super restrictive diet or take medications because I’m unhealthy.

Of course, he’s still as skinny as a rail so he doesn’t really understand my dilemma. He did suggest that I look into Lipofuze to jump start my metabolism and weight loss. He wants me to add that to my workout regime, which I’ve restarted this week. That should take a few pounds of in a hurry.

At this point, as much as I want to take the weight off, I want to make sure it stays off.

About 3 weeks ago I stopped working out. There was no particular reason really, I just didn’t feel like it. Last week I felt pretty rotten all week so I wasn’t in the mood to work out. This week I’ve been sick so there was definitely no working out going on.

While I haven’t been working out, I’ve noticed that a few of those extra pounds that I had lost seem to be creeping back on. I’ve been hearing commercials for sensa and I think I may give it a try. It’s not a pill and it really just helps you moderate how much you eat which is my biggest problem.

I’ll have to move some numbers around to be able to fit it into my budget.

I guess the good news is that I am losing weight. The bad news is that it’s coming off so slowly that it’s unbearable. I bought a new pair of pants 2 weeks ago and they had so much room in them that I thought I had purchased the next larger size. But nope, it’s my regular size. I’m happy but I’m also ready for some adapexin-p to help shed some more weight. I need to get down another whole size.

Each size is 15 pounds so I have quite a bit of weight to go. Especially if you’re only supposed to lose 2 pounds per week. That’s another 8 weeks worth of working out. So we’re looking at the beginning of May if my weight loss continues on it’s current path.

Summer will be here before you know it and I want to be able to wear normal clothes instead of covering up every day.

I bought a new pair of pants last week that I didn’t wear until today. When I put them on they felt kind of loose so I thought I had bought a bigger size. I looked at the waist band and they’re my correct size which means I’ve lost a tiny bit of weight. The only thing that I’ve done is add some exercise at least 4 days per week to my schedule. I haven’t even added the more rigorous workout yet.

Weight loss pills that work fast are still on my agenda because I have more weight to lose. But just knowing that some of the weight is coming off is very exciting and makes me want to keep up what I’ve been doing. Hopefully I’ll be down a complete size before the end of summer.

I’ve been feeling run down and drained lately and I think it’s because I need more vitamins. I do take a daily vitamin but it doesn’t seem to be enough. My friend suggested that I take her vitamins because they’re the best prenatal vitamins out there. She has a ton of extra vitamins so she’s willing to let me try a few of them. If I like them or if they work, I can get my doctor to prescribe some for me even though I’m not pregnant. Since most people taking them are pregnant, they have a ton of vitamins and minerals in them.

A good kick-start to my system is just what I need.

I’m sick again. It seems to be a trend with me that I get sick every December or January. This December I was good but here comes January and I’m sick. I missed a day of work already and I’m still feeling the effects of the cold. I have a bad cough and I’m still a little stuffy. I haven’t been taking any vitamins lately and I think I need to start taking those again. I ran out and I haven’t found any that I like since then. I need to just get something so I can help ward off the germs the next time.

I need to get my shopping list together and make sure that’s the first thing I pick up when I get in the store.

And I feel horrible. Of all days to be dealing with a fever. This is horrible. I had invites to a couple of my coworkers homes as well as a good friend of mine. I had visions of stuffing myself with all kinds of stuffing, turkey and candy sweets. Then tomorrow worrying about taking herbal weight loss pills to get rid of the weight I had gained today. Instead I’m sitting home watching Kung Fu Panda and football.

I don’t have anything with turkey in it in the house. I’ll probably have pasta with texas toast and call it a day.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

And the day before the best holiday of the year too! I didn’t feel well on Monday or Tuesday but today I really feel bad. I’m feverish and clammy at the same time. I did buy some DayQuil to take but I don’t have any food in my system and I don’t want to upset my stomach any more than already is. I’ll have to wait until lunch time then I take the pills with my food.

I can’t wait until this day is over and I can go home and rest!

Usually people stop eating junk food and snacks when it gets close to summer to try and drop a few pounds. I know it’s time to cut back once I notice that my skin is acting up. I’ve been using the top acne treatment that I can find and it’s not helping. It’s partially because I already have oily skin but it’s also due to the fact that I eat a lot of junk type foods. They keep my pores clogged which leads to breakouts and acne. Excess caffeine from soda also breaks me out which is not a good thing because I love having a nice cold soda when I get home from work.

Knowing what I need to do is a lot easier than actually putting it into action.

I have the yuckies, cooties, or whatever you want to call it. When I got off work yesterday I felt kind of tired and couldn’t wait to get home. Once I got home, I took a tylenol and laid down. I slept until after 9pm. Then I got up, pitter-pattered around the house for about 2 1/2 hours and laid back down and went to bed for the night.

This morning when I woke up I felt hot and clammy. I decided to stay home and sleep it off. I didn’t call my boss until 1/2 after I was supposed to be there, because I was sleep. I ended up sleeping until almost noon. I’m getting ready to lay back down right now and I plan on resting for the rest of the day.

Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.
