Help!!!

Okay, so...I've been doing the exercise thing and limiting my caloric intake to about 1200 calories every single day (except for this weekend). Well...as you know, I've been doing the 30 Day Shred and also the Wii Fit. Well, It's been about five days since I worked out on with Jillian. Can anyone tell me what to do? My knees and left ankle are KILLING me, and my shins are, too. can anyone please tell me how to help the pain? I can barely walk it's so bad and it's killing me that I'm missing exercising...I have lost about 4 pounds so far!!

I really want to start running, but I don't want to make the pain worse or make it come back if I get rid of it. Has anyone had this problem? What did you do about it? Help!!

So enough about that. This weekend pretty much sucked...period. It rained all weekend long. I don't mind rain, but every day? Come on! I feel like I live in Forks, which...well...wouldn't be a bad thing?! Then, on top of that...we out my dog, Luke to sleep on Saturday. We had him for about ten years and it was really hard to have it done. He was old and a large dog with hip problems. I know it needed to be done, but it really doesn't make things any easier. He had gotten to the point where he couldn't get around anymore. I just hate seeing my dog, Baby, mope around the yard. She loved Luke and it's so sad to see her down.

We had an eventful night on Saturday, which I won't get into. All I'm going to say is that we got a scare but everything turned out okay! Thank God! I surely hope everyone's weekend was better than mine. Sorry I haven't been posting as much here lately. I post from work so it's hard to always get one in. I can only get dial-up at home where I live and I refuse to pay for something that sucks...lol.

Friday...at last!

So how are my lovely blog readers today? Hopefully you all have great plans for the weekend ahead, whether it be sleeping in, shopping or whatever. I know I'm due for two days off for sure. This week has been so crazy at the office--thus, why I have not posted.

So, a little update on the diet. I've been staying right around 1200 calories per day, which is great for me! I can't believe I'm doing so good. I haven't done the 30 Day Shred in two days, but I have been making up for it on the Wii Fit. I really think I get just as good of a workout as I do with anything else. The hula hooping definitely feels as if it's working my abs more than the 30 Day Shred. I purchased Cardio Max the other day with the Biggest Loser cast and also Weight Loss Yoga. Has anyone bought these or tried them? I'm stoked about the weight loss yoga! I've always thought of Yoga to really be for the mind and for flexibilty, so I'm thrilled that this one is geared torward Weight Loss.

It is high time that I kicked my butt in gear--for those of you that don't know, I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and have been on medication for it for several years. The medication works great for me, my quality of life improved so much...but, with any medication, there was a risk of weight gain. So...lucky me, I gained a few pounds. I soo wish I were back in the 120 lb. range like I was high school. That is my goal, and I know I can acheive it but I also know that the road will be a rough one. This past week I have said no to brownies and cookies from a really yummy bakery in the Spa city. It was the hardest thing I've done. I've also gave up my beloved Dr. Peppers and actually tried Coke Zero...much to my surprise, it wasn't that bad at all. So...I've been drinking that now because water just gets boring, you know?

Last night, I almost messed up. Jeff and I went to Chick-fil-a for dinner. Yikes...I was sooo tempted to get my usual Deluxe and waffle fries...omg...Well, I opted for a healthier option-the Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich with a fresh fruit cup! Yay for me! I was totally surprised when Jeff said, I'll just get what your having! Yay! We both need to start being healthier, especially if a family is in our future...gotta keep up with kiddos! Speaking of kiddos, we were sitting there eating and there were about three lil hoodlums were running around the palce and I was like..."makes me have second thoughts about kids..." and Jeff was like..."(sigh)...yeah"! Ha ha!! We first said that we weren't ever going to have any and then one day he was like, "you know, I may like to have a kid with you one day!" LOL...but he is still just thinking on it! Who knows if we ever will? Only God knows and I guess we'll just leave it in his hands, that is, after we're married!

I'm pretty excited about tomorrow. I'm going shopping with my mom! I'm sure will have fun, argue a little (she always tries the same shirt on multiple times, like it's gonna fit different if she tries it on five times??), and blow some money! Ha ha...well she doesn't blow hers, I do mine! Hopefully we'll find some cutie patooti stuff to buy!

Hope you all have a good weekend! I'm sure planning on it!
