Trial anew.
I started this blog at unfortunate time. Friend's wedding allowed me to have an excuse of not to work out because sometimes a lot of things had to be done. So, I didn't work out because I could get away with it.
That life is no more.
I purchased some new tae bo video tapes, hoping that I will get back into it, kicking and working. This video, I think is a bit more compact, not as strenious, but according to billie is still as good as any of his old videos. I guess the reason why I stopped doing tae bo, was because I was getting so tired of doing the same fucking thing over, and over, and over again.
So, here's to new beginnings. I worked out, deliberately today for the first time. Yay me.
Work out is 55 min - almost an hour. My goal, within three months, to be able to do this every day in the morning and then go swimming in the after noon. When I said I want to look fucking hot for my wedding, I wasn't kidding people :D
Mary, Sang, how are you gals doing?

Day two. Failure..yes?
Dun dun dun. Here be pitchures :D. Remember, one mock per fold, kthnx :D Here's me. God I want to kill myself, just looking at that.
Okay. So sorry to burn your eyeballs but here it is. My progress photos. God, stupid farmer's tan on the driver's side's hand.
Now, today I've been a good girl, or at least I think.
For breakfast, I had a cup of rice. Yes. Just a cup of rice for breakfast, to make it simple and calorie light.
For lunch, I had boiled two cups of rice for david and myself, had half a cup, gave David a cup, some borsh and some fixins and ate half a cup for dinner with some fixins. I need to have three meals a day otherwise, my tummy goes crazy.
I made fixins really easily. First, you take a big lots of veggies. I take, for example, green onyon, chicken chunks (try one quarter of a breast, should be sufficient), bell pepper, tomatoe and carrot, chop it all up in big chunks and slap it on the skillet, where I cook'em for about ten minutes, covered.
Then I add chillie, some water, turn the gas on low and let it simmer while rice cooks. David says its' really good and he's a picky eater. Here's what it looks like with chillie already in.
That was enough to feed david, myself, get myself a dinner plate and save some for tomorow. I only used a half can of chillie this time instead of a whole thing.
Oh, and who could forget borsh. It added up to about a cup and a half of liquids and solids for both david and I. Didn't take a picture of it, will next time though :D
See? We're making improvements. Okay, bed time for me nows :D

Measurments.
Waist: 46
Chest: 48
Arm: 15
Leg: 31
Weight: 260. This is the heaviest I've ever been. I was 245 before I lost almost all of it. That was when the picture was taken. I went from 245 to about 180 in three months.
I've been a bad girl and I had fast food, but I only ate the egg and the sausage (I always order breakfast) and threw away the buns.
I'll post pictures as soon as the camera loads. Please, one mock per fold :D

Following inspiration.
I've noticed, a lot of times when it came to weight loss, I am the worst person to go to about.
I lie to my friends about it, a lot, I lie to my fiance, again, a lot and the worst part, I lie to my self, the only person I cannot fool.
I'm getting fed up. I'm sick and tired of my growing size, I need a place to come face to face with myself, to look at pictures and say, enough is enough, Yelena. Your father would have been ashamed of you.
I have a great motivation, I want to be drop dead gorgeous for my wedding, which is in three years. I know, I sorta missed the deadline with Shannon's and Wes' wedding, but I still want to try it, again.
My father was an alcoholic when he was younger. He drank a lot and lost a lot of things and people he cared for. But one day, he took a look at his life and said "No, I will do this no longer." He quit. Cold turkey. Just like that, and despite what a lot of people say, I believe that strong will isn't a hereditary, it's an infection. One person will infect another and it never stops. I have the virus, I want to use it.
My problem is myself and my comfort zone. I have an amazing circle of friends who are incredible people. Sure, I sometimes bitch and moan about things, but I believe, I've been lucky so far and I don't know any bad people. Everyone that surrounds me, in my every day life, is an extraordinary person. I have a fiance who is possibly the second most amazing guy on this planet, after my late father. I am lucky, for he loves me for me, not for what I look like. He even proposed to me, despite the fact that I'm overweight. But I take too much comfort in that knowledge and instead of making myself better because I'm improving my own health and self confidence, I just use it as an excuse. I want to turn an excuse into support and inspiration.
My weight causes me a lot of depression issues. I usually get depressed and then I eat. I need to break that habit, I need to get rid of it, I need to stop turning to the fridge for comfort. I know, it's hard on David to see me so down on myself, so negative about myself, and although I've improved a lot since we moved in together, I am still proned to that "I am too fat to be loved" mood. I want to loose weight so I no longer make him sad, because seeing him upset because I am wishing to die over my insecurities hurts a lot more than I ever thought it would.
I will blog what I eat every day, what I do for work out and I will use this to talk myself into working out tomorrow. My goal is 8 weeks - two months. I will weight and measure myself and post the measurements here. I'll also take pictures, not nudies, don't worry.
I'm not going to obsess with the scale, I'm going to simply do it once, and do it again at the end of eight weeks.
Here we go.
Wish me luck.
