I went to bed at 10:30pm last night and was up at 7am this morning. I'm really tired. I'm thinking about going to bed after this post.  Good night.

*edit*
Oh and sue me, I had some more dairy today. Shame on me!!
 

So I've modified my diet a bit, so that I'll see better results. I've been researching like crazy, thank goodness for the internet. I'm doing a combo of paleo/zone. Paleo is eating as natural as a can, much like our ancestors did in the wild. No Dairy, no processed food, no sugar. Just meats, veggies, and fruits. I had no problem with no dairy and I've slowly introduced fish, shrimp, and free range eggs back into my diet. I'm thinking that I'll have to eat chicken b/c I don't know if just seafood will suffice. I'll make sure it's free range though. I've been a vegetarian/vegan for a lil over a year, so this was a pretty tough decision. I thought that I'd just get my weight down and then I'd be vegan again.  I also cut some carb blocks and added some fats.

I started on Sat and I've dropped 2 lbs since then. The problem is I have 2 digital scales and they read differently.

The older one
Last week: 155
This morning: 153

The new one
Last week: 157
This morning: 155

I'd like to go with the lower weight, but I really don't know. Either way, I know that it's working. I want to shoot for 6 days of working out this week. Then I'll weigh on Saturday, b/c it will be a full week. We will see how my experiment will go.

This is how my meals look:

Yesterday: 11-4

7:30am
3 eggs (3 protein blocks)
3 tbsp avacado (3 fat blocks)
1 tsp olive oil (3 fat blocks)
1 orange (2 carb blocks)

10:15am
3 boiled eggs (3 protein blocks)
18 almonds (6 fat blocks)
1 whole cucumber (1 carb block)
2 roma tomatoes (1 carb block)

2:15pm
2 oz of water packed tuna (2 protein blocks)
3 tbsp of avacado (3 fat blocks)
9 almonds (3 fat blocks
1 cucumber (1 carb block)

6:15pm
4 1/2 oz of shrimp (3 protein blocks)
3 tbsp avacado (3 fat blocks)
1 whole cooked squash (1 carb block)
1/2 cup of salsa (1 carb block)
11/2 tsp of almond butter (3 fat blocks)

I felt a lil light headed throughout the day and a little hungry, but I may have just been craving something. 

My workout was 5 rounds of:

200 m run
10 Sumo deadlifts
10 Thrusters

I also voted yesterday for the first time! I'm a true american now! 


 

Dec - May......I'm soooooooooooo excited!!! I still keep my benefits!!!!!!

I haven't posted in a while. Seeing that I have alot of time on my hands I will try my best to post daily.

I've been working part-time w/ a fellow flight attendant for the past 2 months. I want to focus more on my singing, working out., losing weight.  I've had gigs every weekend for the past month, so it's been good. My company is offering COLA's again for six months, I didn't get the first ones offered, but I'm counting on getting this one. I really want to move to LA to start taking acting/singing classes, get gigs and etc. It's seems like things will happen for me faster if I go out there. We should find out by the end of this month if we got it.

I joined a thing called crossfit. I usually do lots of cardio 5-6x a week and never focus on strength training, b/c I'm scared of doing it by myself. I don't want to hurt myself, much less do it wrong. I was going with a trainer 1x a week, but it was too expensive and I didn't do it the other 2x, so it was kind of a waste. This crossfit is a combo of cardio/strength training more with your own body weight. It's a group setting and you work your weight up as you go.  I've gone twice so far and I'm liking it. We'll see were it goes. My goal is to get lean, I'm not going to focus so much on losing weight, even though I'll end up losing anyway.

In combination to the crossfitting they recommend doing the zone diet, so I've been reading, researching and have already started to eat that way. My body fat% is pretty high, I think its around 40 lbs or so. We'll see how it goes. I've made a promise to myself that I'd do it until the end of Dec and see what type of results I see.

I started some zone meals last Tuesday and ate whatever on the weekend. I started zoning again yesterday. I noticed that I've been getting really sleepy. I took a nap yesterday and today. I don't know what the deal is with that, I just woke up about 2 hrs ago and my eyes a pretty heavy, like if I went to sleep right now I would. I'm going to bed at 10:30 tonight. I got to be up by 7 to eat and get to my crossfit session at 9am.
 

Well I'm back from the DR....I did really bad things there as far as food goes, lol. I broke my vegetarianism, but it was because I didn't want to be picky about everything. 

The flight from Newark to San Antonio was delayed for weather. I didn't end up getting home until about 3 am. Then I had to be up the next morning at 6 am for recurrent training. It's my 2 year anniversary this month w/ExpressJet. I just found out they're laying off about 1000 pilots, which would mean they'd have to let go about 500 flight attendants. I think I'm ok though. I'll probably be just a hair away from getting the boot. I know I'll be back in IAH and back on reserve. Oh well, at least I'll have a job. 

I got sick on Sunday morning for eating crap all week long. I haven't continued eating meat, that was just a one time thing. Next time, I'm just gonna stick to fruit. I was sick for 3 days...the toilet was my best friend. I felt terrible and I don't ever want to feel like that again. Today I started my 80/10/10. I'm over my food poisoning, so I thought it would be good to start. I also haven't worked out in a week. I'm going to work out once I get to New Orleans tonight. It's back to reality now. I have a training session next week with my trainer and really don't want her to notice the damage done this past week, so I have to stick to it! 

Breakfast: 2 bananas, 1 peach

Snack: 3 cups of green grapes

Lunch: Small honey dew melon

Thats it so far...I'll continue that tonight!!

I just work sooooooo fucken hard to write a post and then my internet goes out!!!!!! When it come's back my long ass post is gone!!!! 

It just adds on to the stress I've been feeling lately.
I was mad b/c they added my recurrent training on my off days that were at the end of my vacation days. That means my stay in the DR decreased to 7 days. I'm pissed. 
I picked up a 2 day yesterday b/c all trips were red flagged, which they pay at 150%. I had 5 eternal legs yesterday and 3 today. Now, I have to go to San Antonio to work a 4 day. So, that will be 6 days in a row. I haven't done that since being on reserve. 
I cried my eyes out today b/c I'm still behind on bills. I'm pennyless right now. I need my spirits lifted up. I know I'll get back on track, but it's taking some time.
