A Clear Goal in Mind

So, with a lot of thinking I've come up with this. I need to have a goal in mind to keep me motivated. And my goal isn't that I just want to feel sexy. I need more than that to keep myself going.
I'm invited to my boyfriends family reunion. I believe it's June 8th, but I'm not quite sure. Anyways, I want to lose at least 5 pounds by then, maybe 10. Whatever I can manage. But I'd like to look good for it. That's my motivation. For the last couple of times that I've gone out running/walking I would say to myself "family reunion, family reunion, family reunion".
It helps me to keep moving.
So here's my new schedule.

30 minute morning walk/jog
100 situps(yeah, I know...ugh.lol)
afternoon 30 minute walk/jog
Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred(30 minutes)
evening 30 minute walk/jog
100 situps

Drag Queens and Hippies

So, sorry I haven't updated anything in a couple of days(not that anybody actually reads this.lol), but I've been busy busy busy. I'm on my 6th day of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I should be wayyy farther than that, but ugh, I'm having less and less motivation.lol
But no worries, I'll eventually get back in the game.
SO ANYWAY.
My friends and I decided to have a "Hippie Night" the other night. It was so much fun. We just went around dressed all crazy and had a blast.(: We like to do things like that, just us being dorks.lol




AND THEN...DRAG QUEENS. So, Veg, Matt, and I went to a Sunday night drag show. Got there around 10:45ish and left at almost 3ish.lol It was the most fun I have had in a long time. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from the actual show, but I do have some of my boyfriend(Matt) and me after the show. Next time I'll remember to bring the camera. The girls were beautiful and it was fun knowing one of them too. She was a doll.
And the dance let me bring out my inner lesbian.LOL It was fun, and we all cant wait to go back again some other Sunday night.(:




Hot? YES. And he's all mine.<3 I love him with all of my heart and would never trade him or anything about him.
We had a great time. It was so exciting and it was the first time any of us had been to a drag show. Something I will never forger.(:

Now I promise to get back in the exercising game. I PROMISE! It's just so damn hard.lol But as long as I know I can do it, I will be able to do it.(:
NIGHT!

A Good Day

So, today was a good day. I woke up around 11ish(ok a little bit later than I should wake up, but, whatever). When I woke up I put on my shoes, got on my workout clothes, and went for a run/walk/jog. It was really hot, but I stuck it out and was outside for an hour.(:
After I got home, I rested for about 30 minutes. After that I was right back up and did my 30 Day Shred.
I'm on day 5 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. Almost done with the first level. I felt great. Like I could take on the world.
After all of that working out I had a salad. I've had about 2 glasses of water today. Not as much as I need, but I'm taking it slow.
Before bed I will either go for a quick jog around the neighborhood or do 100 sit-ups, or both.
In all, it's been a good day.(:
SO.

Level 1, day 5, of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.
Hour long run.

Week One Photos

Ok, so...once again I have fallen behind. I'm not doing as much exercise as I need to be doing. While I should be on day 6 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, I'm only on day 3. I need more motivation. So, I've taken a couple of pictures to show me "before". Hopefully, every week I can update with more pictures and eventually see some changes. My goal...wear a swimming suit sometime this summer.(:

So, here are some pictures...be warned...gross and disgusting

As you can see I have some extra flab on my sides. Gotta get rid of those.



The dreaded side view.:P
My backfat is an issue too. It's what I'm working on the most right now.
So there you have it. Me in the flesh...unfortunately.lol
Every year, even during the summer, I wear hoodies and jackets. They're my security and safety. I just dont want people seeing my body. It's sad and I want to be able to go outside in a cute top withouth wearing either of them. I hate it so much. And maybe posting pictures will keep me motivated.

Rainy nights and Snakes

So, as I'm sitting here watching and listening to the beautiful weather, I can't help but be happy. About an hour ago I got my boyfriend a ball python. He had been wanting one for a few weeks and they were on sale. He was so happy and I was happy to make him so. I'll post some photos later, along with photos of my snakes and the rest of my babies. And along with the snake, we ended up leaving the pet store with a tarantula. It was a great night.
The weather is something too. Beautiful bolts of lightning and loud, booming thunder. I stood outside on the top level of a parking garage just to watch. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but eh, I enjoyed the show. I look forward to falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the storm.

Last Day/School Stress

So, today was my last day of school for this semester. Today is also the day that I took my math final, which made me stress beyond belief. So, of course, I ate a little more than I probably should have. But at least school is overwith right now and I can focus my attention on losing weight.

Food intake
6:45am : Sonic -sausage-egg and cheese toaster.
Tator tots
Smoothie
9:00am : small Pumpkin Pie Latte(which was friggin' amazing.lol)
12:15pm : Salad
Sea Salt & Vinegar chips(small bag)
1:40pm : Caprisun juice

Around 6ish : Went at ate at Ok China Buffet. Had wayyy too many crab rangoon.lol

So, I'll edit this post later in the day and update my food and drink.
I need to stop eating fast-food. I was doing well for a while, until I had gallbladder surgery. After that, everything went to hell. I was sore, bloated, and had no motivation to do any exercise or any diet. But I'm back now.

Exercise
No exercises as of yet today. I'll edit this part later.

So yeah, today was a good day overall. I got $245 for selling my books back. I may use a bit of it to help my weight loss cause. Who knows.

This is something that is very important to me. My weight makes me feel like the ugliest person alive. And I know that's not true, but someones weight can really affect the way they see themselves. I want to be able to look in the mirror and like what I see. I want to be able to wear a cute bikini for once in my life. I can't do this without help, and it's been very hard to find help around here. I only have two friends that are supporting me all the way. I dont think I will ever be happy with myself and how I look until I lose the extra pounds. It will be a long journey, but I know I can do it. I just have to keep working at it.
Here's to the weight loss.(: And if someone does read this and it's someone who is trying to lose weight(or has already lost weight), please leave a comment. Give me some tips, some encouragement.

An Introduction

My name is Kylee Ramsey and I've decided to start a blog which will keep record of my weight loss. I have been struggling with my weight for a long time and have recently been working harder than ever to melt it off. This blog is really for me and a way to keep track of what I've been doing and what I will be doing, but feel free to watch or keep up with me. What I will be doing, provided I keep this up, is updating my blog every day or at least every other day. I may at some point post a few pictures of myself, so be prepared for chubby girl tummy.lol
I will also try and keep track of I what I eat each day as well. I will not, however, keep track of the calories. Just a list of what I ate and what time.
I have been working out more than ever lately. I have the wii fit, Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, and I've been running a lot as well. My goal weight is to be at least 144lbs. And who know, perhaps I will reach that goal and from then on want to continue. So, it would be grately appreciated if rude comments to me and how I look were kept at least to a minimal. I expect maybe a few because people are stupid and like to make fun of others to make themselves feel better about their miserable lives.
Alright, so this is my first blog and we'll see how it goes.(:
I know I can do it, I just need a little encouragement.

Starting weight: 176
Goal Weight: 144

A little more about me. I'm 19 years old, I'm in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful man who I love so much. I love to draw, mainly cartoons. Maybe I'll post a few here and there. Animals are my life as well. I'm an animal lover and a darn proud one at that. I have two cats, two dogs, two snakes, a rat, and a guinea pig. Also, at my boyfriends house, 3 very cute mice.
I'd like to think that I'm an overall nice person. I've got great friends who I have so much in common with. We love to hike and do anything outdoors. I just have a great life.(:
Most of my friends are supportive of my weight loss and I love that. It's what I need.
Thats me pretty much. I'm kinda boring.lol
Thanks for watching and I'll see ya later.(:
