Alive and Kickin'

Yes, I'm still alive and kickin', working my butt off (not literally) and trying to stop the scale from climbing back up. Why oh why does lost weight find it's way back so easily? 

I recently did a google photo search for kickboxing and look what popped up?


Yup, that's me!  I guess I've written about how much I love kickboxing enough that I made it to google's search engine. 

I've been having a hard time keeping up in my kickboxing class lately which is probably due to the 30 pounds I've regained but I'm still fighting and I'm not giving up. 

I really wish I didn't need a paycheck because I would love to be able to spend hours at the gym everyday instead of sitting at a desk shuffling papers all day.  I'm still trying to get my ass out of bed early enough in the morning to go for a run or get to the gym but that just hasn't been happening.  I'm walking over 3 miles a day back and forth to the train station, walking at lunch when weather permits, kickboxing two days a week and staying active but it just hasn't been enough to compensate for sitting on my ass all day at work and snacking way too often.

I'm still here reading all of your posts while commuting but my service is sporadic so I haven't been able to comment much which I miss.  I hope to get better at this time management stuff, get my ass out of bed early enough to work out and hit the lottery so I can quit my job and get back to the gym full time.  A girl can dream...

    Why can't we be independently wealthy? Then we would have all the time in the world to work out and lose weight. le sigh.

  3. Hi MB! It is my fantasy too. Also I would like to be able to work out for so many hours in a row without getting tired. That would so rock! As it is, I get to the gym only on Saturday and Sunday for about 5 hours total. Glad you are doing okay.

  4. Sedentary jobs suck, don't they? That is my problem. While I seem very active, that is because my job is sitting and I can't do anything about it because of the nature of the job. I wish I could have a treadmill desk, but with a footpedal, that doesn't work.

    You can do it. It's harder to control the eating when you are used to moving more.

  5. Glad you are still around and kicking. I wish I could give you some of my hours in a day ... I don't have a work permit and thus am not working, but don't use my time nearly wisely enough.

  7. Congrats on the google-fame!
    I feel your pain regarding trying to balance life and maintain a loss - I can't imagine that is easy! You are doing what you can and that is great. I am sure the 3 mile walk helps quite a bit and I am happy to hear you are able to attend kickboxing at least a couple times during the week. Best of luck finding that ever-elusive balance! I know you can do it (just keep those kickboxing pics handy for extra motivation!)

  8. Great post! It must be nice to come up on a Google search! One thing I’ve found to be extremely helpful and useful as a supplement to my current diet/exercise plan is Fullbar (www.fullbar.com). Not only do their products help you lose weight, they also help you maintain your weight loss!

  9. Sounds like you are still dedicated to reaching your goal and staying there. I work from home full time so I am sitting at the computer for up to 12 hours a day. I know how that can foil our plans for weight loss. But, I, like you, am determined! Keep up the great work!

  10. Work getting in the way of the workout program? Where have I heard that before, mhmhmm, oh YEAH! In my head, every single day!
    But what can we do really, I wish I would win the lottery too... if only I'd participate.

  11. When you win the lottery can you give me some so I don't have to sit at a desk all day shuffling papers? Thanks!

    I think you are doing great while working!! Hugs!

  13. Obesity is a serious problem in the society today. As an obese person, I don't know exactly what to do and where to start to fight this excess weight that I have for many years now. Searching over the internet helps me a lot to gather helpful tips and advice. Oh! by the way, have you heared something about the Roca Labs Formula? I have visited this site - youtube.com/user/RocaLabsReviews and there are many possitive effect to the users. I hope that this could be a permanent solution for obesity.
