Well I hate starting new things in the middle of the week because then I just get disoriented and forget when I started and since everyone hates Monday's already I thought it was a great day to start working out again! I have started my fresh and new and I'm excited. I woke up early today--not to work out--but to finish the homework I seem to have accumlated since being sick for about a week. Not fun. But I managed to get everything done and I feel a bit of relief now that I'm caught up. My plan for today is to work out after FHE tonight. For some reason it is strange to workout at night, but it's hard to do it in the morning. Although if you haven't eaten anything you don't feel as accomplished about burning the calories. Oh well. If I think about it too hard my head will explode :P I have been pretty good about eating since we had our little chat session. It's weird to say that I can already feel a difference in the way I look. I know that I'm working on it so it's easier to feel good about myself. It's amazing what a little motivation will do for your self esteem. I am glad we are starting over. I'm sorry I don't have more things to say about exercise but I had some free time so I thought I'd blog and tell you all that this is my first official day of restarting.
Speaking of this free time I have...someone in this library smells super great and I think he's sitting across from me. Yum. I love some good cologne. Well, I miss you girlers and I hope that your exercise/diet plans are working out fine for you. Best of luck. Over and Out.
Hmm well I'll add to this and talk about my first day. I also decided to wait till yesterday (Monday) to start...for two reasons. One, because I also don't like starting new things in the middle of the week and two is because Dustin has been here and we went to dinner for our anniversary and we kinda pigged out on Superbowl Sunday...so I already kinda knew I was gonna splurge over the weekend. But now we're starting good and new! I still haven't taken a before picture...I will do that. For yesterday, I did good on eating....eh on exercise. I did 50 minutes of yoga. So that counts for the stretching portion of my exercise plan. But there's something else I wanna do before I really start this plan. I didn't really state my goals very clearly in my "plan" post. And I want to do it here because I think it's important write/type your goals. Here goes!
-Get in shape (specifically tone the core, thighs, and shoulders) by May 13!
-Eat as healthy as I can, while still getting enough to eat (I'm thinking between 1200-1500 calories)
-Exercise every day!
The ultimate general goal for me is to feel better about myself and the way I look by the time the semester ends.
I hope you girls are having a good first couple days! Bergen...nice cologne is always something we look forward to haha. Love it! I miss you both! Love ya!

Hmm...
Hey, so I guess I will do another post too! Haha. I think that we should still post what we do for exercise and eating. So then I feel bad when I eat bad things. Hailey, it's okay. Yesterday was kind of a treat day for me too. I had half a bag of potato chips! But I did get a pretty nice workout in Jazz Dance. My dance teacher makes us do some gnarly crunches, so I'm hoping my stomach will start to look nicer! Bergen, thanks! I forgot about squats! I am excited to have tone thighs again! :D I wish I could just do cheerleading, soccer, and softball all over again haha. That's what did it last time! Oh well.......GUESS WHAT?! So Sunday, Feb. 7, is Dustin and I's 2 year anniversary. Well I can't go home to visit this weekend...I'm going home next weeked. The weekend of V-Day (which is dumb...ha. Even though I have a bf I still think V-Day is kinda dumb). Anyway, Dustin called me the other night and said, "I'm coming to see you on Sunday!" EEK! He decided that since I couldn't come up on Sunday, he's going to come to me! Except a couple days ago he actually decided he wants to come down on Friday (today)! EEK MORE! I'm so excited! I'd like to say that Dustin is really good motivation, but unfortunately, he just tells me "You look great the way you are!" Don't get me wrong, he's a sweetheart and I'm so glad he accepts me and my body even when I'm not in shape. I'm just saying it's not the best motivation haha. But oh well. I'll find the motivation to exercise! And EEK! for this weekend! P.S. I'll have my before picture up very soon! Love you girls!

Oops
Ok so I have to say...I ate wendy's for dinner again tonight...But I went to the gym for an hour and a half, I burned 600 calories just on the elypticle! So basically today was my treat day...and for the rest of the week I'll be good :)
I am really excited that we are starting with this again, I want to be hot dangit!!! And I'll look into the vitamin thing...ha. Toby Hemingway is a beautiful boy, I want to look good next to him and have him want to kiss me!!! That'd be epic! haha I love you girls.
Should we still keep posting all that we eat and do?
Hope your weekends are swell. Peace out!

Frick Yeah.
So I just wanted to let everyone know that their plans sound fabulous and that I am very excited to get going with this! I am glad that we are all super motivated (haha) to do this and to get in shape. Here are my thoughts: Hailey--Vitamins aren't that expensive. I get mine at wal-mart. Equate Women's One Daily 100 capsules for 5 dollars. It's really nice and they are really good for you. Make sure you take them after a meal though because on their own they will give you a tummy ache. Danielle--Pilates are great! As for leg workouts I suggest doing lunges or leg lifts or squats or some glut workouts. Those will get you in good shape for your bikini!!
As for all of us, I am so proud and excited that we are motivated enough to do all of this. I absolutely LOVE Toby Hemingway and that he is my motivation for this. What would make this even better is if somehow...when i've shaved off a few pounds...that I could meet him and have a glorious make-out session. Oh my. That would make my life. I will hold onto this fantasy in the hopes that every time I go for the fridge I will think...CUTE FOR TOBY HEMINGWAY and I will avoid the temptation!! Hooray us.
So far I'm doing pretty well, but that's how most exercise plans start out. I am determined to do SO much better this time. I've had migraines lately, which upsets my stomach so I haven't been eating as much either. Haha. That's sort of lame, but hey, I'm not eating so whatever works right?? I am going to put up the before picture as soon as I get batteries for my camera :P Miss you girlers and good luck! Over and Out.

Hailey's Plan
Ok sorry I'm so late on getting my dealio set up ladies.
My plan: eat less, move more!
-Six out of seven days I will exercise for a minimum of forty five minutes. Typically at the gym I do the elyptical or bike for forty to sixty minutes and then I lift for the next half an hour. I am going to try to stick with that and hopefully start running.
-I am going to eat healthy. I got all the ice cream out of my house and I got my wendy's craving taken care of so now I am set to go. I can have one treat day...preferably keeping my calories around 1500 even with the treat.
-My caloric intake will be 1500 or less. I will eat three times a day to avoid binging.
-Vitamins are too expensive to buy lol I'm fine without them I hope...
-Motivation: self confidence. I had a dream last night that Chet told me I could be cute if I were skinny...Jerk lol but really, I want to be hot in a bikini and be able to wear cute mini skirts and look HOT! Plus I want to be able to be hot next to Toby Hemingway...or my future husband who of course will have a hot bod such as his :) lol
Your plans sound great ladies! Lets stick to them this time! Eat right, Move lots, Get fit and skinny!!!!
Love ya!!!

The New Plan of Danielle!
Hey sorry this is late! I think I've come up with a plan that will work. Okay...here's goes!
Exercise! ---
I will do the following 6 out of 7 days a week:
--30 min. of stretching (a combination of the workout stretching I do in Jazz Dance and the strengthening stretching I do in yoga)
--50 Crunches (the ones I do in Dance)
--50 Leg Swings (Pilates)
--20 REAL Pushups
--100's (Pilates)
--(I want to come up with another leg exercise...any ideas?)
Food!---
--Watch high fructose corn syrup intake
--(I haven't decided about a multi-vitamin yet. My mom wants me to start taking them)
--Eat three meals a day (including breakfast!)
--Eat more fruits and vegetables as opposed to processed food
Seem like too much? I know there's a lot in the exercise part. But I probably won't do it all at the same time. Like different parts during different parts of the day. Most of the exercises are ones that I'm doing right now in my Jazz Dance and Yoga/Pilates class. Motivation?...Look amazing in a bikini! Ha I'll just think about that. I'll think about the cute outfits I have that will require me to have tone thighs :D Haha. Well I think that's about it. Bergen, you're plan looks great! And you're motivation?...even greater hehe. Looking forward to seeing yours Hailey. Love you girls!

Bergen's Plan Revamped
Here is my well thought out and better motivated diet/exercise plan!
-Six out of seven days a week I will exercise at least 15 minutes.
-I will take a multi-vitamin every day.
-My meals will be carefully planned.
-I will allow myself one indulgence a week.
-Toby Hemingway will be my motivation.
-By May 31st of 2010 I will have lost the necessary weight to meet my goal.
-I will carefully track my caloric intake daily.
-I will feel better about myself and be more active.
(For those of you unfamiliar with the amazingness of Toby Hemingway first of all SHAME ON YOU. You need to familiarize yourself with this beautiful boy. As help I have uploaded my motivational picture. Enjoy...I know I do. :D)
I am printing off a ridiculous amount of copies of this picture and posting them ALL over my apartment so that I get distracted and avoid the refridgerator/cupboards and thus avoid food. :) I think it's brilliant.
Well there's my improved plan!! Miss you girlers and can't wait to read how your plans turn out! Over and Out.
