Day 21 ... My legs are Jelly
So what's the difference between Jam and Jelly? My legs feel like Jelly and you can ask my boyfriend if you want a crude joke :P.
Like I said I want to do the Underwear affair. So, today, I tried doing some interval jogging/walking. Let me tell you I sucked at the jogging part. However, on the treadmill, I did do 1.25 miles, in 20 mins, splitting it as 2 mins of speed walking and 2 mins of jogging. I'm gonna be impressed with myself, considering I haven't tried jogging in months and I've been on the outs with the gym.
So, I think the plan will be... get solid and good at the 2 min interval thing, then start changing the intervals, 1 min of walk, 3 mins of running. Then get to the point of jogging straight for 20 mins. And then just increase that, along with the speed. Get to the point I can run an hour straight, and try and get 10ks in that hour. 5 months, I should be able to get that in 5 months. (Crosses fingers) One of my friends said it might be pushing it, going from 0 to 10K, but I think I can do it.
Hmmm, so I've thought about my new goals.
1. My vits every day
2. Eight glasses of water every day
3. One cup green tea, one cup of white tea every day (a little experiment on my part)
4. A salad everyday (And one to enjoy, and something I can take time and make, throw cucumbers and tomatoes and all that good stuff... not just lettuce in a bowl).
5. 4 veggies, 2 fruits, every day. And stick to that. (Insert stick to that face).
Here's my continuous vice though. Chocolate. I can cut out greasy fat filled foods, I can ignore fast foods, I can order the salad with a grilled chicken breast while everyone has fries and a burger. What I can't do is say no to chocolate. And it's not just the taste, it's the glorious texture, the way it's bitter sweet, the way it melts and coats your entire mouth with the most glorious flavors. Hmmm chocolate. And I work at a place where the crap constantly goes on sale. I work at a place where customers like us and bring it to us on our b-days. And yeah, I can say no to buying the shit, but when someone else dose and says "here have some..." OMG I just... yeah... it's just... I don't know how to say no because everything in me wants to say YES!
So... maybe goal 6 21 days... No chocolate. I don't know how that's going to work... I advise everyone to take bets. Hell, I'm going to west ed and there is a Cookies by George there...and I’ve been thinking of one of their chocolate inversion cookies… that's day 1...
Maybe everyone should take bets. Post them, and maybe that'll piss me off enough to say... Oh yeah? Watch this. Who knows. Man and V-day coming up, and going... all that chocolate on sale. FML
Alright…ALRIGHT!
Goal 6. 21 days... NO chocolate.
Goal 7. Keep to the no brewed coffee
And really... I just want chocolate right now... swear it's like a drug.
Everyone tune in Tomorrow for the 21st day weigh in and measure!
Luv ya!

Day 19 Good day, and a challenge to everyone!
So, I was pretty darn good today. I don't think I got in all my veggies, but I got in some good ones.
I work in a count room at a sports dome as a second job. Tonight was a minor hockey game. Yay, but DEAD. So I spent most of my shift looking up the benefits of my favorite veggies. Everything I eat prevents cancer in some form. In fact, in general, fruits and veggies, they are good for people, and help prevent cancer. And of course I knew that, any one with a fully functioning brain should know that, but it seems like no one really does.
If you haven't seen food inc. watch it. (Keep in mind that a great deal of the horror comes from the American food industry, but there are good points to know). For the first time in human history, we are overfeeding ourselves and allowing our foods to kill us. It's sad that it's cheaper to buy a few bags of chips and a week's worth of micro meals than it is to buy a week's worth of veggies and fruit. I remember this KFC commercial a few years ago. This family walks into a grocery store with 20 bucks and mom's like okay kids go. The kids were all like, "ten pieces of chicken is how much?" "A bag of potatoes is what?" "What do you mean it's 7 bucks for a side salad?" The point of the commercial was that it was cheaper to buy KFC's 10 piece bucket meal than it was to try and make it at home. You know what? KFC was right, it is. And it's sad. Just imagine what our medical system would be like if people got in 5-10 servings of fruits and veggies a day... Not the bagged, dried, frozen, juice or sauce versions, but actual veggies, and real whole fruits. Imagine how much healthier people would be. I have always been a fan of veggies. I have always liked my processed foods too... But... less now. The last year and a half, I've become a label reader, I've been looking at salt content, I've been asking about cal count, I've been avoiding the processed garbage. And the more I avoid it, the better I feel. Go figure.
You know it only takes like a cup (three good sized chunks) of cauliflower a day to get a huge helping of your daily dose of vit A and B, and three or four cancer fighting enzymes. It's frustrating.... We don't need fields and fields of Potatoes for Lay's chips, we need fields and fields of farmland to grow veggies, to flood the market and bring down the cost for consumers.
I don't know where this rant is coming from. But there it is. I could go in depth, but... I'll stop at that.. HOWEVER, I do think everyone should know that Harper is going to talk with Obama, and the subject is standardizing food practices across the boarder. There is a roomer that is Obama's idea, and Harper is just being the polite Canadian and will hopefully say no. But people should know this. It's a horrible Idea! Canada's standard of what counts as food is MUCH higher than the states and we need to keep it that way if the States won't raise their own standards. Read up on this and write your member of parliament.
What I intended on writing tonight was, I'm thinking one of my goals for my next 21 days is going to be a cup of green and white tea every day. And... I'm gonna challenge my readers to join me in that! Yeah that's right everyone reading along... join me. 21 days of 1 cup of green tea and a cup of white tea. They are LOADED with antioxidants, and metabolism boosts, and all kinds of things that are just plain good for you. (Especially if you drink it plain).
So what say all of you? Join me? Since most of you are on my facebook, just post there. I’m already drinking a lot of white tea, and I’ll be starting officially Feb 11th for the green and white.
What’s the worst that will happen? You’ll drink some tea. That’s not so bad.
Cheers All

Day 18 DOWN INCHES.. WOOT!
So, I cheated a little... I measured my waste early... down 1.5 inches... hells yes.
Alright enough of that. So I'm thinking of doing the Underwear Affair. A 5k walk or a 10k run. I'm tempted to do the run... it's June 18th, so... that would be 5 months to train... I could train my body to run 10ks in 5months.. Would be a good challenge to get me more motivated. The hard part might be the doing it in my underwear in public :P
Oh god, I looked at pictures of myself from last year and before... Holy shit balls. I've done it before and I know that. But it's just.. every now and then I'm like wow... that is a ton of weight off my ass.
Hmm I think I'm gonna do it. I think I wanna do the run. I was thinking, okay, 5k walk would be okay, walking 5ks I can do. But that's the point isn't it. I know I can walk 5ks no problem, I need to challenge myself to go the distance and do the 10k run. Okay, I think that settles it... I'm gonna get a team, I'm gonna get some friends involved, and bang zoom... I'm gonna run 10ks to raise money for cancers below the belt. This girl's going jogging lady's and gents. And that's gonna mean the gym and tread mill every day. And getting back into training mode... and yeah.
And it's gonna mean in 5 months I'm gonna be in my underwear in public... And... well that'll be some motivation to drop the weight right there. Hehe, maybe I'll even Moulin Rouge and run in a corset and fishnets. Easy party wear for the the after party :P
That does it... I'm doing it. Now wear to start :P I know... bad puns are starting already
Love u all

Day... 17ish..
I wrecked my diet this weekend. I have to get over this emotional eating thing... CHOCOLATE is not the solution to cranky...
So here's the deal. Feb 10th is the last of this first 21day stretch. I have successfully got into the habit of drinking water every time I turn around, and eating a supreme amount of veggies. Also taking my vits every day. So, I'm happy with those. I'll weigh in, and messure on the tenth... Also, I have this lofty goal of getting some 10+ and 25lb weights, so if I can't make it to the gym I can still do some presses and squats, then still walk to the LRT.
So today's been busy though, I'm making some home made chicken soup, no added salt or crap. And I'm doing laundry, and in general keeping busy... hmm
but I'm gonna need to figur out a good plan for the next 21 days... A routine I think is what I really need..
Hmmm, I feel like I've accomplished a few things in the last 24 hours, I made an account on etsy.com cause I plan on opening a shop up. Crochet items and some funky jewelry. I just want to get a good few lots together before I post them. So now it's time to join the communities and get some ideas on promotions. I also need a cute little graphic for my shop. And a decent name that suits what I'm gonna be going for.
So... yeah.
I have a lot I want to accompish, not it's just about putting in the work. GO work! And plans... Lordy the plans. Sigh, sometimes I just exhaust myself thinking of this. I wish the energy would kick up.
Me thinks one of my goals for the next 21, a cup of green/white tea everymorning. That's pretty routine.
Cheers

day 15
Today was spent with the boyfriend. And it was lovely, until he threw up from eating too much and I made the discovery that I just don't find fatty, or bad for you foods as satisfying. I don't know how it happened, considering last night I was ready to head upstairs and buy a chicken burger at Rexall. But tonight we went to red lobster for date night. I know, nothing further from my diet plans in the world of sit down dinners. But that's where I had my discovery. I was gonna go for he coconut shrimp, they were out, and I was thinking the salmon, but I went with these breaded shrimps instead. And I just wasn't satisfied by the end of the meal, I wasn't happy with what I ate, I didn't even much like it... Oooh, except for the redwine vinigrette, I've discovered I like those too. Two months ago, all over that battered shrimp... I don't know, I think I've just changed my tastebuds... I think 15 days of eating an exorbinant amount of veggies has not only gotten me to like it, but has changed up my body some... bad foods rejected...
Andrew found out what happens when he eats too much, which in the five months we've been dating I havn't whitnessed... (We're that couple where I'll order something I know he'll eat too cause he's gonna be finishing it). Before we left he ended up throwing up in the parking lot.
The irony of the whole thing was, we found out while talking in the car, neither one of use really wanted to go to dinner after the movie, we were just going because we thought the other person wanted to.
It was his cheat day, so I was thinking he wanted to gorage himself. He knew I wanted a date night, so he thought I was excited about the whole thing. Not so much... I would have been good to get home after the movie and just chill before going to work. He would have been good to head home after dropping me off and had his beer and stovetop.
So, while we were always honest with eachother about practically everything, we agreed that we have to add gastrointestinal issues, and just say if we dont wanna do something.
Still 3.5lbs down.. grand total of 5.5 so yay..
Tomorrow, back on diet track, and to find a red wine dressing.
Cheers All

day 14,
Today was just a long ass day. Worked at both jobs, couldn't hit the gym, and at one point was so sick of veggies all I wanted was a cooked meal of some sort... HOWEVER, I jumped on the scale this morning, I'm down 3.5lbs! Oh yes.
This is short and sweet, but I am just run down so I am gonna go pass out
Love you all
