Oh gosh! I feel like I havent blogged or been on tumblr in forever but in reality it’s probably been like what? 3 or 4 days? Well I’m back! Hi!
Things on my mind:

1)Went to a beautiful wedding this Sunday and like every wedding I go to all I could think about is who will I marry?!?!
2) Today in yoga class our instructor asked us each to tell her when we last had an extraordinary moment. And I literally couldn’t think of one. Sooooo…that’s cool….
3) Taylor Swift is the performer at this year’s Victoria Secret’s Fashion Show (Dec 10) and I can’t help but wonder what song she’s going to sing?!?! I just can’t picture any of Taylor’s song being strutted to on the runway. My only two guesses are I Knew You Were Trouble or maybe State of Grace?? If anyone already knows please let me know!
4) I’m going to the gym after work! This is probably the first time I’ve been back to the gym in what…. 5 months?? Maybe more? But it’s my new goal because I have to be in a wedding in April and NO WAY I’m going to let myself be the fat bridesmaid. No way jose! Everyone is a size 0-2 and I’m like a size 50. hahahah Not really…but pretty much. I’ll keep ya posted on my weight loss. Woo!

So I’ve officially discovered how I gained 15lbs since I moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago. Yes…I know..most people move to LA and lose weight…I did the opposite.

I’m only on day 4 of my 800 calories a day HCG drops diet but I can see clearly now how I would eat EVERYTHING and ANYTHING without even second guessing. Also I work in an office. And anyone who works in an office knows there is always some kind of bad food swarming around the kitchen calling your name. Just today alone, my office ordered pizza for everyone and then around 3 o’clock we had a brownies and ice cream party. I can’t even tell you how weird it felt to not partake in any of it! Because I am never THAT girl. I eat it all and sometimes even go for seconds. So of course now that I’m avoiding basically everything but protein and veggies, I realize how often I would just eat it all! lol

It’s mind boggling I tell you!! It definitely shows me that I need to have more self control in the future and start making healthier choices.

MY INNER MONOLOGUE WHILE AT KICKBOXING CLASS TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS

“Alright here I am! By myself, but here for kickboxing because I need to lose weight. Okay good. The class is pretty full. No one will be paying any attention to me. Here we go! We’re starting! Oh gosh instructor is going off about how she’s been sick. Great, now I’m going to get that flu everyone is worried about. And we’re jabbing, and we’re punching, and we’re upper-cutting. This isnt so bad. Gosh I love this song playing right now! IT IS PUMPING ME UP!! My punches are going right along to the beat. I feel alive! This is just like dance class. I mean, you couldnt do this class if you didnt have rhythm that’s for sure. 

JAB JAB PUNCH PUNCH. Oh god now we’re kicking. Front and back. Front and back. Ooooooo Niki Minaj’s Starships just came on. Now THIS is a song I can kickbox to! This is the most fun I’ve had in a long time! I can totally do this. Even though I havent worked out in months, I’m totally keeping up!!

Oh crap. It’s only been 15 mins?? Feels like at least 45. Oh gosh now we’re dropping to the floor. Some crazy push up thing I can’t do because it’s too fast. We’re moving too fast! JAB JAB Punch DROP. JAB JAB Punch Drop. Well I look like a fool. Definitely dont think I’m doing that move right. I don’t even know what’s happening anymore. My legs are moving, my arms are moving but not the same way the instructor’s are. Please god don’t let anyone be watching me. I am hot mess right now. I can’t breathe. It’s so hot in here!! The guy next to me is totally judging me because I cant keep up. He’s definitely gay though. I feel no sexual vibes coming from him at all. Good. Glad he’s gay. Judge away all you want boy! 

Okay now I’m really just hopping back and forth from foot to foot and punching my arms around. What is the instructor even doing? Are these even moves?? I feel like she’s all over the place. How in the world am I supposed to KNOW what she’s doing if I can only see the back of her body??! Oh crap. 5 more minutes of class left and she says we’re doing two finales. What the heck are two finales?? I’m dying. Literally dying. Sweat keeps dripping down my face! Can’t wipe it away fast enough to still hit the punches correctly. Oh! The whole class is cheering and clapping. We’re done! We’re done!! Good God I made it!! I survived!! That wasn’t so bad.

I can totally do that again next week….”

I had an amazing workout today. All by myself-just in the zone. I did cardio for 30, weights, sit-ups, and stretched.

It felt good! I love being back at a gym and getting back into the groove.

I am SOOOO excited to move into my new apartment in Marina Del Rey!! It’s going to be the start of a new me! We have a gym at the complex so my new goal is to wake up every morning at about 6:30am and hit the gym before work. Also the complex offers workout classes at 6:30pm every night so I plan to head home after work and try to hit up those classes as well.

I’ve gotten lazy and fat and I need to start taking better care of myself. I plan on getting a beach cruiser so I can ride my bike to the beach on the weekends as well. There’s no more excuses!! New active lifestyle starts now.
