Day 2

Workout - CHECK
Reading - CHECK

38 days to go!!

Last night I did Bobs (biggest loser) workout on On Demand. OUCH again...my thighs are SCREAMING! I went and walked for 15 minutes around my building today just to help loosen them up.

Tonight I plan to try the Shred one I keep reading about all over the blog world. Jillian again will kick my ass I'm sure!

Day One

Workout: CHECK!!
Reading: CHECK!

39 more to go!!

I did 32 mins of On Demand Jillian (biggest loser) workout. OUCH I am freaking sore today. I will say I did feel WAY better this morning knowing I did it even though it was 10:30 and I was exhausted!!

On top of my 40 days of working out....Melissa and Michelle and I are commiting to read the Bible everday as well. We are starting in James...just a chapter a night.

Thanks to Bridesmaid for starting this challenge.....

2 more days...

Until I have committed to working out from Feb 25th to April 12th. Crazy, but I need it.

I pulled weeds for 10-15 in the backyard on sat, my hamstrings are still sore...SAD!

I feel tired and groggy all the time and want my energy back and I think working out will do the trick.

So I have my elliptical, Zumba videos, free weights, sit up machine and Fit TV.

now I need to come up with a plan that works and STICK TO IT!

.3

Seriously.... .3

I was down .3. AF is here, hoping she messed up the scale!!

Oatmeal

So everyday I eat low sugar oatmeal...gooood old Quaker....2pts and filling

at Target this weekend I notice their brand is TWO dollars cheaper..so I buy it.

UM GAG, I wont be skimping on my oats next time.....only 9 more packs to eat

ahh finally

well I did it..the elliptical that is. I made myself get on last night after the kids were in bed. Fired up an episode of Private Practice on the computer and off I went. 28 mins later I was about to DIE.....my freezing office was a sauna LOL!

but I feel better...knowing I did it.....and will do it again tonight.

I remember back when I was running, how great it felt to have sweat dripping off me as I ran miles on the treadmill. I miss the way I felt...thin, running...and actually enjoying it. Months later running next to my best friend as we both sported pregnant bellies.....still enjoying it.....and then WHAM. HAD kids....got FAT..and stayed that way. I want my husband to be proud of me.....not that he ever says much about it, but I know how happy he was when I lost the weight years ago, how proud he was of me...how proud I was of myself.

I will be thin again, I will choose working out over cake and I will overcome the desires that creep into my head and make me want to choose food over being skinny. So many of you that I read about have done it...its my turn!!!

Giving this a go

I like her idea....going to give it all I got!

Monday Monday....

Well another Monday is here.....and my weekend wasnt that great. BUT I did workout last week and got back on track Sunday.

Friday we went to Wicked and it was wonderful. I ate and drank a bit more than I should have probably, but I will be great this week to avoid a messy gain on Weds.

Tonight I plan to Zumba after the kids go to bed. I'm still trying to find the motivation to get up before they do in the morning to workout, but WOW its hard to think about getting up at 5:45am.

I will make my goal this week to workout 4 times...one of them I will get up early and do the elliptical.

I am feeling crampy.....prob AF in my future this week.....BUT I wont let her slow me down!!

busy busy

Sorry for the lack of posting...to my few viewing friends LOL!

I changed my weigh in day to Weds....lost 2.6 this week. Down to 194.4..WOOT! Weight watchers is going well, I finally broke down and bought the calculator so I dont have to write all my points down in excel everday. I have done a workout DVD called Zumba. It has a bunch of dance moves but man it gets me sweating. I have to workout one more time this week (before Monday) to reach my 3x a week goal. I havent been moving and the scale has been moving slow..so Michelle and I made a challenge to each other to at least move 3x this week.

Tonight I am going with my mom and sisters to SF to see Wicked. We are eating at Cheesecake Factory so I will be on-line later trying to find out the best meal to choose. I had a small b'fast and will have salad for lunch to save up my points.

I have been back to relying on me and only me to get through this and today I prayed on the way to work..prayed for clarity on how to get through each day, prayed for strength to make it through each day and prayed for all of you out there that are on this journey with me. This life changing, self changing journey that we cant do alone......without GOD and the support and encouragement each one of you give me I could not be doing this..would not be doing this.....

Have a great Valentines Day!! DONT EAT ANY CANDY :)

Birthday Blues

Well I gained 2lbs. I knew it was going to be bad. I ATE and ATE...using my birthday as an excuse.

Chocolate Cake
Chinese Food
Chips
7-layer dip
Pizza
Mongolian BBQ
Beer
NO water :(

BUT instead of crying and throwing the whole week out the window like I always have done in the past...I am dusting myself off and moving on. Its a new week of great eating and even some Zumba. I got a dvd from my friend Tiff and plan to try it out tonight.

I CAN DO THIS.....Just a minor set back that is bound to happen. It amazes me how fast my old habits can creep in and take control.
