New and improved ME- Day 1

I had a conversation with an old friend a couple days ago. We haven't seen or heard from each other in at least 2 years. We reminisced about the old days and our odd little outings. He's currently living in California, but will be coming down in July to visit friends and family. We made plans to hang out for my birthday, which is July 3rd. When he last saw me I was a lot smaller than what I currently am. Eeeek. Its so nerve wrecking. I really don't want him to get a glimpse of me and think "What did she do to herself?".
My goal is to lose 30lbs in one month. Too much you say, I don't think so. Sigh. I'm not doing it just for him. I lack motivation. I've been trying to find reasons to make myself get up in the mornings and go work out. Every reason I think of fails, miserably. Me and Caleb had made plans to work out together, it never happened. We go on occasional walks here and there, but nothing major. I need to get my heart rate up and pumping!
Right now, he's my reason. And its working. I was so excited to go to the gym this morning. I texted Caleb and asked him to go, he's got the kids. He said maybe tonight. I asked Dad to go, he said sure. I went to work at 7AM, got off at 8:45AM, got home at 9AM, picked Dad up, then went to the gym. We got there around 9:20AM. I wanted a good work out, so I got on the treadmill and did 1 mile. Let me tell you something. I am out of shape, always have been. I use to go jogging in High School and even a little after, so I use to be in BETTER shape. Well, I was so PROUD of myself. I ran half of the mile and walked the other half. I was on the treadmill for 20 minutes, non stop. Thats a big accomplishment for me. After the treadmill I got on a stationary bike and did 15 minutes, keeping my heart rate above 160. I didn't pay attention to the distance. I wasn't too worried about that as long as I got my 15 minutes and kept my heart rate up. After my cardio workout, I worked on my wimpy muscles. I worked my inner thighs. I have no idea what the machine is called, but I did 5 repetitions of 10. So 50 in all. I wanted to work my abs, so I asked Dad what to use. He showed me this crazy looking machine where you are kneeling and only use your tummy to swing your legs up. I don't know the specifics. Either way, I'm going to call them ab curls. I did 20 of those. I spent about 45 minutes at the gym with dad. Go us!
Dad wanted to get ice, out of the ice machine at the gym. So I sat down for a little bit, oh man. I felt so sick as soon I plopped my fat butt down! I got light headed and nauseous. I went to the bathroom, thinking I needed to throw up. Nothing. There's a chair in there, not sure why. I sat on it by the toilet for about 5 minutes. Still nothing, so I scooted the chair away, and had to go potty. Every time I stood up, I felt worse. I took off the sweater I was wearing, took the head band off, and wet my face. I felt a little better. Dad knocked on the door and asked if I was okay, I said yeah and to just give me a minute. I'm not exactly sure why I felt so ill, but I was really happy I did! To me, it means I got in a really good work out. I'm going back tomorrow. Only tomorrow its at 4AM!! Ahh! Am I really going to be able to get up that early every morning?! I sure hope so.
Along with my work out routine, I've decided to go on a diet. A co-worker of mine is on an all fruit diet, she said she lost about 30 in one month, if I remember correctly. So, I went to the store today (since it was pay day and all) and bought some fruit and veggies. I bought a watermelon, cantaloupe, mangos, apples (which I hate, but I know are healthy), pineapple (I had a fresh one last week, it was AMAZING! I thought I hated pineapple), lettuce (for a salad), green onions (salad), tomatoes (salad), broccoli ( I loved steamed broccoli, mmmm), and some cheese (salad). That is what I will be eating for the next month and hopefully it will help me lose some weight. I also bought 12 cans of slim fast and a protein shake mix for my work outs. I sincerely hope that all this will help me reach my goal.

This is a 30 day challenge, to myself. Every day, from now on for 30 days, I will get on here and blog about my work out. I will tell you what I did, what I ate and if I lost any weight and or pant/dress size. If you want to start this goal with me, then I would LOVE to hear about your routine as well. It'd be nice to have a partner with me on this. Cross you fingers (I know I am) and good luck to me and those who will do this too! Oo, we will consider this "day 1". And the count down begins. :)
P.s. No one will ever know my weight, haha. I refuse to give you my starting and ending weight. I'm a lot bigger than what most people think of me to weigh. I will just let you know, if I lost any or not. :)
