Freaking the F*U% Out!
Well yesterday around this time I was on cloud nine and ready to go give my life for 3 months and all that great crap and now I am flipping the F*u% out! I am still excited but the only real reason is because last night while we were exploring a new park (Neighbor made me walk backwards up a huge hill to burn the inside of my thighs and I truly am thinking about what I can burn of hers to make her feel what I did last night and today....love you Neighbor) we decided that after surviving 3 months of hell we would need a huge reward. So we decided we were going to get makeovers and a new outfit for New Years Eve. With jumpsuits being all the rage I've decided that I want a strapless black pant suit and fun jewelry oh and let's not forget fake eyelashes and new makeup from MAC! Of course when I picture myself after behaving for 3 months I am sure that I will be probably a little smaller than Posh so I am sure I will find David Beckham's twin on New Years!
I was seriously starting to freak out this morning and afternoon about the challenge. People are going to be able to look at what I eat and do for 3 months.....it was really cool when she said I could stalk other people but ummmm I don't want anybody calling me out on getting wild and drinking tons of tasty Milla Lites at a tailgate! I am just going to take it one change at a time and hope that the competitive side of me comes out like it usually does. I really hope that there is a cute guy in the challenge or even just a guy because I've found they're better to talk to about working out....maybe not so much diet because I think BossLady is the best at that but boys do have their kicks!
So most girls are scared to talk to guys about needing to change their bodies or diets and I find it the opposite. WorkHusband and PimpDaddy are two of my biggest motivators. Of course I think they go to the extreme with their workouts (lifting 150 pounds over 20 times and running up stairs 10 times with weights) but they're always good to get me motivated by to go the extra mile or push harder. Pimp Daddy is the main reason for the Weight Loss Challenge. He is constantly pushing and makes me head to the gym after our conversations. Do you know he gave up alcohol for 40 days....actually longer and he makes Paris Hilton look like a homebody! One day when we were talking about relationships he said to me "Robin she doesn't challenge herself so I don't think it is going to work." Men want a lady that is going to take care of herself and she doesn't have to be a brick house....just work at it! So advice for the day Ladies.....talk to your men about working out and share the details that they give you!

Weight Loss Challenge here I come!
so I've always had that feeling that I would be the first person to knock Jillian on her butt during taping of the Biggest Loser and we're about to find out how I would behave!
I told you yesterday that I had discovered (while eating at Qdoba) a weight loss challenge. I investigated more and I talked to Molly today at the facility about the challenge. Molly sounds like a bean pole but she is really excited to meet me so that makes her fun.
Here is the deal about what I will be going through for 12 weeks starting Sept. 22nd. We will be measured and weighed and put through a series of fitness tests. Alligator Molester in Charlotte went through/goes through this with her boot camps and the results are amazing after a month so I can't wait to see mine after 3 months.
We also will be using a live food diary/life journal that is hosted off of livestrong.com and we will have access to others journals. I literally almost screamed when she said I would be able to see what other people were going to eat and do. I hope they don't test for stalker because I will come up pretty fit in that category! She said this helps keep the group together while they aren't together on Tuesday and Thursday night. She said that also on weekends that some of them get together and work out. I am pretty excited. I need motivation and accountability!
The part I am nervous about is we work out together for 2 hours a week and it is a station thing. I am not good at sit ups, push ups and all that so this is going to be my hard spot. Molly also said that we play lots of games. Some involve cards i.e. you draw a 10 and you have to do 10 push ups. I wonder if I should let them know the only card game I like to play is Asshole where you make other people drink.
I want to give a big good luck cheer for one of the Charlotte Girls, who is starting her first boot camp tonight. I can't wait to hear how it is! Go Burns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weight Loss Challenge
If you read my last blog then you will know I've been searching for a program. I was hoping for one after my walk but beggars can't be choosy. Want some details about it? So do I! This is how it all came about....
Today is my holiday...Labor Day. I am one of those god awful organizers that the right wing hates and honestly I am pretty proud of my job and my organization. We are advocates for those that control the future...those that work in education. Last week I was a complete hot mess because I found out the people we're suing are taking us to court on a demur. First I had to call my lawyer to find out what a demur is but basically they admitted guilt but they're taking us to court first to let the judge advance the lawsuit. Craziness!
Back to the challenge...it is Labor Day and no work so I was able to go on a walk with Neighbor, who just got back from vacation, so it was great to catch up and time passed like crazy since we had a whole week to fill in.
We had a great 6.5 mile walk and were able to ditch 880 calories along the way. If you walk and don't own a Garmin I highly recommend it. Well anyway we like to hit Qdoba afterwards and get one of their naked bowls because it has protein/carbs and after a great walk it is safe to eat it and know the body will burn it. Well there was a flyer for a Weight Loss Challenge and I came home and looked it up on the internet and found where a writer from Style Weekly had participated in it and I was able to read her blogs. I am pretty interested in it and I am going to call tomorrow and get more details. I've basically decided if the price is decent I am going to do it. It starts on the 22nd of this month and ends on December 17th. I am pretty excited and will let you know more details when I know them!
Happy Labor Day!!!!!!!!

Total Randomness
So it has been a while since I've blogged. My mind is all over the place today so who knows what is going to come out in this blog....so just bear with me. Work has been insanely busy but it is also my favorite time of the year so I can't complain too much at all. I love meeting new teachers and especially when they join. I get so hyper but then I crash the minute I come home so I've had to really be intentional with my workouts this month.
I gave into the world of crackberries so I went through and scheduled all of my workouts on the calendar. It seems to be working. I seriously am so much better in the mornings. Getting it done and over with just rocks. I did enjoy a few after work long walks and it was exactly what I needed to unwind from crazy work days.
I am a true believer now in cutting out the random drinking. I gave it up in August and I think it has truly made a difference. I love being a party girl but I can honestly tell you I love waking up on a Saturday morning and being able to function and get a great workout in and see results in a clean house, organized drawers...I am weird and realize that but I also have realized I need these things for my sanity. I've rested and been able to prepare for the week ahead of me. Some of my friends really gave me lip about it but oh well...that can be another blog.
Today's highlight was my assistant asking me how much I had lost. She pulled at my pants and said "Wow" I am really noticing a change in you. I told her it was the pilates that almost made me vomit on Wednesday at 6am. Seriously Shirley T. must've been in a bad mood because she worked us like red headed step children.
I am seriously thinking of how to take my fitness to the next level. I am training for the 39 mile walk but at the end of October I want to be ready with a new fitness adventure. One of my girls in Charlotte is starting a boot camp that is strictly resistance band on Tuesday so I am excited to hear about that. I am going to hunt around for the right thing for me but I am really feeling the urge to kick it up a notch. I did start a new circuit at the gym this week and did my first round yesterday. My arms were still shaking 2 hours later.
I am not sure if they were shaking because of the workout or the horrible news I received after the workout. A very close friend from back home lost her Mom to suicide. I can't imagine what that feels like and I never want to know. We've all had down moments but I would never do anything (I can't even blow my nose) to hurt my loved ones. I am just pissed off that she would do this to my friend. I was talking with one of my BFF's this morning about taking life for granted and I know I do. I get freaked out by work, house and normal day to day things that I lose focus. I think with the new school year I am going to try to live it up a little and experiment with not taking it for granted....who knows what that involves but as I discover it this school year I will let you know!
