I'll Weight Here.

I can't Weight! ;D

2009-10-03T20:34:00.000-07:00

Once again.. long time no blog for this certain blog. Ever since our Biggest Loser Blog Edition had ended I didn't stop working out. I maybe have been.. delayed a little bit but I have lost almost fifteen more lbs. I am now down to 159 rather than 170 then I was a few months ago. I started out at a whopping, 185 and have almost lost 30 lbs, It feels wonderful! Life has been hectic and things have been happening, so I'm sure the stress and such has been helping me lose weight. But that's not good at all.

My sister, has just gotten a new Treadmill which I'm sure she has been ranting and raving about it. I have been doing a new program which she has started and told me about. It speeds up and slows down, it blows cold air at you while you're running! And you can play your MP3 player and turn it up loud while running, jogging or walking.

It is a dream come true and I am completely jealous of her! I know when they-[Ashley and her Hubby] are gone in Florida. I will be over at her house, using it every single day. Probably most likely when Shawns friend Toby is killing zombies.

Bwuhaha.

Ahem. It really is a beautiful piece of machinery.

I wish I could have a treadmill in my apartment. But alas, I have no room. Sadly. I must do without and run on hers.

Anyhow, I am still trying to get to my weight goal which is hopefully between 140-150. Anywhere around there would be wonderful and I could get this flab hanging off in the front gone and just have a flat tummy. =D

I can't wait!

Long time

2009-04-23T18:51:00.000-07:00

I feel so bad for not writing a blog for soooooooo long. Ugh, I've been lazy with the writing part. Not the exercising part, just.. writing. I hate it, buuttt I am sooo happy that I lost that much weight! I can't believe I was the biggest loser two times. Well I mean.. just for me. That's soooo surprising! haha. =] Anyhow, this is the last few days of the competition!! Wow! I can't believe it went by that sooo fast. Crazy. Anywho, I won't be able to write very much during the day, seeing as I have a new job. But this new job will probably help me lose weight.

I am a Housekeeper/Front lobby Cleaner at the Holiday Inn Express, and have you seen those beds at the Holiday? GOOOOOOD LORD. They are so heavy, I can't lift them. And I'll probably have at least 14-15 rooms a day.. Ugghhh.

Today was crazy! They lost 6 house keepers ON MY FIRST DAY. Soo today, (today wasn't my first day, tuesday was.) Anyhow, today.. there were only four house keepers. >_>

Three floors.. with like 31 rooms on each floor. Yeah.. no we had to work together and clean almost every room on each floor. x[ Today was not fun. Today we cleaned about.. twenty stay overs and I'm not lying. Together we cleaned about 70 or so rooms. I got in at 9 am and didn't leave till 4:30 almost 5 pm. Sucked, I'm sooo sore and tired and grr. But oh well, at least means I might get a big pay check! Woot!

I dread the day to come...

2009-04-06T21:36:00.001-07:00

So I'm am almost officially moved back to Moab, I am just waiting to meet the wrath of my mother...OVERJOYED! [Note: SARCASTIC] My father is driving me back to Junction to pick up the rest of my stuff as she follows us over with my bed. I can just sense that she is growing sharp, pointy horns her eyes red and a tail growing long with a pointy..thing. And she's going to MURDER ME! Gah, I can just feel it.

My stomach is twisting and turning and..ugh. I know that this isn't about my exercising or my food or anything. About my life right now and it's all hectic as hell. The words I need to use to describe how I am feeling is... 'Scared Shitless'. I feel bad...but I shouldn't. I mean, she has not helped me since I was there. Maybe feeding me and buying me like a pj..nightie..thing. But that's about it..nothing. Wouldn't let me out of the house to meet friends, or help me get a job. I'd get out maybe like twice a week. Sucky eh?

Pretty frickin' much.

But since I've been home for the week to visit family, as I wrote in my last blog I worked out with ashley and it kicked our butts! DANG.

Anyhow, need sleep to get to the dreaded mothers house and get stuff back home.

Adios!

Jillians Work out

2009-04-05T22:43:00.000-07:00

ugh, I need to start posting more. Haha. x[

Well, today I am in moab visiting family mostly and going back to Junction on Tuesday to get the rest of my stuff and move back to Moab. Though anywho, today....

My sister and I worked out. We were starting out to do Bobs Yoga, but it totally killed our knees (bad knees) so we switched over to Jillians work out. HOLY CRAP. I mean when you watch it, it seems sooooo easy.
And then you do it once and it's all right and then she makes you do the same thing over again. And then moves onto another circuit and does it twice then the next and the next. NO BREAKS. Wow..I don't think we even made it through. I was sweating like such a pig..good lord.

Heart was pounding through the roof, though I hoped it help me lose some extra fatty lbs.

Totally doing it again tomorrow!

My Trainer Bob

2009-03-15T12:39:00.000-07:00

All right, I watched The Biggest Loser last night and they showed a site that Bob had. Which is called, Mytrainerbob.com.

I joined it last night and I know that it's going to help. Because, it'll help you keep track of your weight. When you also write in your journal it'll ask what foods you ate, what you did to make yourself feel accomplished, etc. Annnd, Bob writes in it himself. Not someone for him, actually the man himself.

But I checked it out, and it's quite cool.

And I think it's going to help me lose some more weight as well. Because every now and then he'll post up some tips to help you lose some extra lbs. Either it be food wise or exercise. So now, I have two journals to write in. =]

I'll actually be heading out today to do my run. And possibly do some turbo jam afterwards. And Ill come back and let you know how that went. I last weighed myself a few days ago and I was at 169. I was so excited! I have never been down to that weight in such a long time, a few years possibly? So it feels quite nice and I need to go buy some new pants badly! But have no money, so I have to keep putting new holes in my belt to keep them on my waist. It's nice that they are falling off, but it's so annoying! Haha.

Weight loss!

2009-03-03T18:12:00.001-08:00

Wohoo,

Well as you know I am now down to 170 and I am totally psyched! I haven't been down to 170 in almost a year or two now. My weight has constantly been at 184-186 always fluctuating between there and it's a wonderful feeling! But also, my work out time may be cut short. I have an interview this thursday for a job. For a Laundry Job at ' Holiday Inn Express'

But that'll be nice. =]

But anyhow! 170! OH MY GOSH! Haha.

I'm so happy that I am not the heavy one in the sisters anymore. My older sister and I are now the same weight at 170. So my next goal in the next week or so is to get down to 165-160 which would be WONDERFUL!

Even with a belt on my waist, I can't keep my pants up. =] It's great.

Stampede!!!

2009-02-17T16:17:00.000-08:00

Yeah,

So, I just went to the middle school track to go run my mile today (After Turbo Jam). And well across from the track is the soccer field where it looked like a Lacrosse team was forming. So I shrugged and said okay and I started out on my first lap. I got through the first straight away and the first corner. HALFWAY through the second straight away the team turned and began to run to the football field where the track is around.

And suddenly I was surrounded by like 50-60 boys who were running as fast as they can. I was completely frozen! I had just about been ran over and the coach came up and apologized and told me that he would yell at them for that. And I am not exaggerating, seriously. There were TONS of guys there. I mean.. heh.. it was kind of nice. BUT just WHOOOSH I almost got stampeded..haha. I think it was Varsity and then whatever the other team is called, Heh. I forgot. Anyhow,

Wrong place at the Wrong time, I tell ya.

Oh jeez!

2009-02-17T12:33:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't written in a while. Been so busy with my working out and with Job Searching. After this blog i'll be heading off to do my Turbo Jam. The day before yesterday I went to the Middle School Track and did a mile around it! My first lap I ran, and the last three I ran the straight aways and jogged/walked the corners. Though I tried my hardest to run fast, though it was hard when I was trying to catch my breath. Wow I'm out of shape when it comes to running! Haha.

Though I FINALLY got a picture of me and I'm putting it up here. My stomach is so weird and once I get all that fat off. I can tell that I'll have a long Abodmen when makes me happy. I've always wanted a long abdomen buutt I never thought I had one with how yucky my stomach was. But Now I'm seeing it. Here is my yucky picture I weigh 173 in ths picture. I think my stomach looks like that, kind of weird how it suddenly cuts off at the bottom. Becauase I wear my pants down there on my lower hips when I should wear them up a bit higher, which will be easier once with the weight lost.

Turbo Jam

2009-02-11T16:11:00.000-08:00

Well,

Turbo Jam is going quite wonderful! When I got home from visiting my family, I automatically shoved the dvd in and began my work out. It kicked my butt but it was wonderful to do! I missed it so much!

Thanks so much Ashley! For letting me borrow it! Much love!

The Bigges Loser!

2009-02-08T19:02:00.000-08:00

So I am the Biggest Loser this week. Yay! I knew I lost some weight but I didn't think that I lost 'THAT' much weight to win this week. I went over to my sisters house to pick her up for dinner and she opened the door with the words, 'You're the Biggest Loser This week!" I was so surprised that I made her go back and show me.

Yay I feel so Accomplished! I have lost 11 lbs so far and that is pretty dang good!

Darn you scale!!

2009-02-04T09:50:00.001-08:00

The Well,

It seems that my fathers scale is broken. Because there is now way that I can weigh 166.5. I wish I weighed that much. The last time I weighed myself I was 179, there is no way I lost 12.5 pounds. And plus I don't even look like I weigh 166. =[ So tonight, when ashley gets off from work. I am heading over and I am weighing myself! I have to know!

Oh and once again. OFF subject.

The Biggest Loser. They sent Joelle home. Woot Woot. Partay. Well, that she is gone. I feel bad for Carla because she wanted and she deserved to be there. But Joelle, there is no point at having someone there who does not want to lost weight. Oh and I am very mad once again, that they sent Danny home. I freaking loved him. =[ Sigh, but it's great how he is doing now. He is sooo skinny! Oh my gosh!

Turbo Jam!

2009-02-03T22:32:00.000-08:00

Well, as you also know. I am down here in Moab, Utah. And well, I went over to Ashleys house and....

Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnn

I got Turbo jam! All of her videos! Yeah, baby! I'm soo excited. So when I get home. I am totally turbo Jamming it out. Turbo jam is the best Work out video ever freaking made by Chalene Johnson. You jab, kick, punch and you're always moving. So I am totally pumped up to kick some butt.

Oh and Angie team. I'm sorry for not Weighing in on sunday! I feel horrible. Time got past me and blah. So like I told Angie. Sunday, I am weighing in at like 1 in the morning! So I know that I won't tell myself I'll do it later or get stuck doing something else.

Go Team Angie!!! Love ya'll!

Running...What an Adventure.

2009-02-03T22:23:00.000-08:00

Well, As you know. I live in Grand Junction, Colorado. I use to live in Moab, Utah. Well I hated.. I hated, hated, hated running! I despised it and I swore that I would die before I even did run. Well. My sister, said that she has been running for a while now and I thought that hey. Since I am trying to lose weight, running would definitely help me. So I told her I would walk with her on the track and then suddenly I began to run. And wow.. It was really good.

Afterwards, I felt better than I had before. So for the next week, While I am here in Moab, Utah visiting my family. I will be running everyday until sunday with Ashley. So, here goes running!

Excitement!

Long time no blog!

2009-01-21T11:50:00.000-08:00

Ugh,

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last blog. My chest pain and my stomach pain have gone away! I did back off a bit for my exercises. Not completely stop but just not push myself so hard. I was eating healthy still though. So that's a plus! Well, I was going to borrow some Turbo jam videos from my sister. She said I could a while back, bu once I got to her house. She changed her mind.

-Shakes fist- Ashley! I was soo excited to use them! But oh well, I'll make due with other exercises. I found a few pilates videos that were shoved in the back of the entertainment center. So I shall use those for before and after. To help stretch out. =]

I'm still trying to do a Before Picture of myself and once I reach my goal, or actually during my journey take pictures of my loss. I have a Camera Phone, but boy oh boy does it take crappy photos. =[

Oh, this is soo off subject. Well, actually. It has to do with 'The Biggest Loser' . I watched it last night and I was so, so so so so MAD, Upset that they sent Damien home! And not Joelle?!?! Damien was the one who DESERVED to be there. Joelle didn't give a crap. You could see on her face that when they had chose to sent Damien home, she began crying and was upset that she didn't go home. I am so Irritated with that girl so much.

Anyhow,

I am off to ride my Stationary bike! And some more Exercises!

Ciao!

Not such a wonderful day..

2009-01-09T10:13:00.000-08:00

Well, today is not going to be the best day. I think today I'll be eating healthy instead of my regular workout. Maybe a walk later tonight. But I believe it was about three weeks ago, I was Diagnosed with Costochondritis. If any of you are wondering what that is, is inflammation of the breast bone just against the ribs. So it pushes against the ribs and causes very bad pain. Feels like something is wrong with your heart. And I thought it was, until I went to the hospital.

But my doctor told me to not do vigorous activities/exercise. Well Ever since I've been exercising it has come back, along with my bad stomach aches. Now I'm not sure if it's the acid with the Costochondritis, or if I am Pmsing. Which I pray to god I am Pmsing. Which I'm sure is something odd to hear.

But I'd rather have cramping for pmsing, than acid for my stomach/chest problem. Anyhow, I've been taking some Ibuprofen, which has helped since it is a Anti-inflammatory non-steriodal pain killer. So I'm trying to kick the pain and let it heal by it's self.

Though today, I'll most likely work out on my Stationary Bicycle and go on a walk tonight. So I'm not completely stopping on exercising, I'm just backing off. And also it says that it can be caused by stress, but I'm not sure what I am stressed by. So I'll try to figure that out.

Feel the burn! Love the burn!

2009-01-07T11:38:00.001-08:00

I, sadly,

Do not have any work out machines. EXCEPT my Stationary Bicycle which I loooove! So I have been exercising by walking/jogging every other day. Doing my regular crunches and sit ups on my workout ball. And I am awaiting the most wonderful workout video..EVER made.

TURBO JAM!

I hated exercising and until my sister AspiringAsh, 'Quote on Quote' Made me do this work out. It's all about having fun doing it, dancing and being a dork while you punch and kick. Even though I do not have the videos right now, I do remember some of the moves in the videos. So I do those for about fifteen minutes and then I make up my own little 'Turbo' to do within five minutes of pushing myself harder and faster of the same exercises.

This morning, I woke up and had a Slim Fast Shake. Mmmm Mmm Mm. I waited about an hour before I went upstairs and began my workout of 'Trying' to remember the moves of Turbo jam. Along with 25 Crossover-crunches, regular crunches, mountain Climbers and Sit ups. After wards I of course rejuvinated myself with a lovely glass of water and headed outside to my Stationary Bicycle. I put more force on the pedaling. I stayed on there for about twenty minutes. So this morning, I worked for a good Hour. After wards I had a Turkey/roast beef Sandwich. With lettuce and cut tomatos on it. A little bit of Mayo and Mustard.

I little later on today, I think I'll go out for a little Jog. It's pretty nice, it was very crappy looking this morning so it kind of took away my chance to go outside. Afraid it would rain or snow on me, but the clouds are disappearing and the bright blue sky is making an appearance. Though not for long, I bet.

Curse you snow!!

P.S I can't wait for Sunday! Weigh-in Day!

Food...Glorious Food!

2009-01-05T11:51:00.000-08:00

Well it is a week until we begin our butt kicking workouts. Woot!
And today is the day I am beginning to blog what foods I eat and how much of it. So I can keep track of how much I should eat and how much I shouldn't eat. I slowly have started to become a health food freak. When I was younger, I didn't care what I shoved into my mouth. Whether it be tons of meat or tons of sweats. I stuffed my mouth enough to get myself sickly full.

Bleck.

Not anymore. I'm now cutting down my portions of food. Though the food I will eat will be more filling food. And If I get a craving for a snack. I'll open the fridge and pop out a nice orange or apple. I use to hate apples, made me sick. But with a very small dab of Peanut butter, it ain't too bad!

This morning, I ate a bowl of Special K w/ Strawberries. It's supposed to help you at least lose a pant size. So with eating that for breakfast and working out, I'll be good to go for a little bit. I also had a small plate of a cut up orange.

Lunch, Turkey Sandwich on White bread with lettuce and a glass of water.. I wish it could have been on Wheat bread, but I don't have the money to go buy some right now but I will by next week.

Dinner, Chicken Egg Noodle Casserole with Corn and chopped onions. A side Salad with, tomatos, onions, carrots, peppers mixed in with the lettuce and a small glass of Iced Tea and Water.

My Weight-Loss Goals

2009-01-04T15:24:00.000-08:00

I have recently just joined with the biggestloserblogedition and I am totally excited! I do not have a scale right now, but I will go out and buy one before the week is over.

Last year, I was engaged to get married. And I was determined to lose weight to fit into a very beautiful dress. Well, once everything went down the drain. So did my determination. It was just a couple of weeks ago when I was able to weigh myself on a friends scale and I read in horror, what my weight was.

Since then, I slowly began to grow back my determination to lose the weight. I'm not doing it to fit into anything. I am doing it for myself, I am tired of this flub hanging from the front of my body. It should not be here and I am ready to get rid of it.

So here goes Biggest Loser Blog Edition!

My Journey

2009-01-04T14:56:00.000-08:00

What a wonderful Weigh to start.

My name is Cadee West, i'm here for one reason. To lose some weight. I have been over-weight all of my life. And I have been working out on and off, I have finally came to a conclusion that it is time to shed off these extra pounds and get healthy. I am 184 lbs and I am wanting to get down to at least 140 lbs. Something that is healthy for my height of 5'9''.

My sister AspiringAsh, called me today and began rambling on about this new, Biggest Loser Blog Edition. After a little bit of her explaining it to me, I became intrigued with it. Because I know that this will help me with getting those pounds off. Being in a team and having those people kick my butt if I go off course.

I, for once, Am finally excited to lose the weight!
