Already Sparkspeople forces me to change my exercise “goal” to meet my real exercise. Thus throwing me into a different and higher calorie range. YAY!!! More food and it’s only Wednesday. I love it. It takes me right back to the 1700-2100 calorie range. I ate a lot today but you know what? For once I’m not too hungry and didn’t even make the minimum. 
What can I say? Nygel is back and in charge! She whipped me in kickboxing and the sub in Pilates worked my core! WHOOO YAHH.
Not only that, I am going to sleep early, get up at 4:30 am to eat some hard boiled egg whites and rice. Then to the gym at 6am for an hour of intensive interval training. BOSU love is hot! The only thing left to do Thursday is get some walking in, just 3 miles - nothing hard at work on my lunch and breaks.
Blaithin, I plan on getting a run in on Friday. Just a 5K. I should be good for that. Sunday I’m going to attempt my second 10K run! 
There’s a lot of growth on the site. WELCOME WELCOME! In my opinion, one of the worse thing to do is keep putting this off. Tomorrow will always be there. Start now! As I told a new friend, don’t wait on others!! WHY? This is your body! Not there’s. That goes for the hubby, the boyfriend, the friend next door or the girl etc. You can’t expect others to help you on this journey. Start as Michael Jackson sung, with the woman in the mirror. You have to get up and exercise! You have to eat right! You have to start cutting calories! It’s all about you!
Victim! Stop playing the victim role! Just do it!!! It’s easy to self-pity, it’s courageous to make a change. If you are looking for sympathy, you will always carry that weight around. Start doing something about it today, not tomorrow - today!
The result is in the body. Those who want this enough, work hard enough, complains very little, stays consistent, is self-motivated, have self control, self love, self respect, hunger to win, usually does.
This will not end once you start losing weight. It’s just the beginning.
YEP, PMS IS HERE!!! ANYONE PLEASE HELP YOUR GIRL GET OFF THE SOAPBOX!

Great job. Exercise is astounding.
Yep, PMS makes me speak whatever is on my mind.
yeeeaayy Nancy, are you doing the 5K and the 10K outside?! If you havent run the 10K before outside, it might be best to do the 5K outside and then work up to a 10K… 10K is tough. Especially if your route has hills. But I cant wait to hear how it goes! I’m doing a 10K on Saturday… well… officially 6 miles. I have to start thinking in miles because that’s what all the races are in over the summer.
And I agree with you when you say why wait until tomorrow to start living healthy? What’s wrong with now… right this very minute…. as your typing or reading blogs. Tomorrow never comes. All that we have is now… I know.. it’s a bit deep for this time of the morning (!) but seriously… never leave to tomorrow what you can do today.
I agree: I often seem to read blogs or hear people say that they aren’t going to the gym untill their sister can go too or the will start their ‘diet’ in a few weeks. I have done that so so so many times and you really are just putting it off. You have to start today. It is your body, not anyone elses and if you want to change it then you have to do something about it!
Great blog
Very motivating! Thanks!Your words are wise and helpful.
Great Nancy, that’s awesome news about the new calorie range! That means you can eat more kidney beans now!
lmao I’m glad you PMS once a while — people need to hear it.
What a great blog to read first thing in the morning, Nancy
Hurray for doing! And hurray for moving it, moving, moving!!!
PMS has gotten you and me both. Thanks for your food post. I added ground turkey and rotel tomatoes to my pinto beans
gives it some spice. oh and other seasoning.

Yummy. Your food looked delicious. Now I want strawberries. : )
Your blog is very inspirational & informative. I have found a new, natural sweetener called Susta. I’m trying to see if anyone had either heard of it or tried it out & can give me some feedback. Their website address is www.sustastore.com
RM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATHETHIC ATTEMPT AT SELLING CRAP TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, I WILL BLOCK YOU!!! WHY THE HE** ARE YOU ON MY BLOG PROMOTING YOUR WEBSITE.
OH, I WILL NOT DELETE YOUR COMMENT - JUST WNAT TO MAKE IT CLEAR I DON’T NEED YOUR BS!!!
PSHISHER - YES YOU ARE AND I AM REPORTING YOU TO DR. MARC!!!
BTW RM, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SUBSTITUTE!!! I EAT ORGANIC AND CLEAN!!!! I DON’T NEED YOUR DUMB SUSTA.
KEEP YOUR CHEMICAL FOR YOU ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
I take mines in my fruits thank you very much!!!!
As if I would fall for your fake crud!!!
DID I MENTION THEM I’M ON A PMS ROLL!!!!
First off…thanks, Nancy! Last night I was changing clothes…saw myself in the mirror and was disgusted. See, I’ve been slacking BAD. I got up today ate my breakfast according to my doc’s plan which I have not done in a month or so and then I went for a 1.5 mile walk/jog. You are so right, girl. Only ME, MYSELF, and I can fix this!!!!!!!!
Good for you with all the exercise!
Haha…your blog inspired me this morning…you know sometimes when I am on the treadmill running I think about you and how great you are doing and how you reached your goal…it really inspires me…
LMAO!!!! OH man you made my day!!!!! hahaha I love the part where he’s sucking up to you!!! Gotta say, he’s pretty good at it too for a newbie on BuddySlim!
I’ve heard about Susta before, it’s mostly for diabetics. Geez he thinks we’re all dying here or something? We must be, uh
DAMNIT! i was writing a comment and i pressed a button and it completely erased it! ouch
i was laughing because if that guy selling susta was right in front of you, on the street, you probably would of punched him!!!!!! hehehe! i can see it now!
THANK YOU for this blog, i think we all are on the same page and ready to comitt to these changes TODAY to better our TOMARROW. yes, it is true when people say there’s always tomorrow, BUT, tomorrow is always TODAY when you get there, and its one day further away from the goal you will EVENTUALLY comitt yourself to doing. so why not comitt today and your already ahead of schedule!!
xoxoxoo LOVE

LMAO I love it Nancy, I have PMS too!
